Da Baby
Book 2
By: TheOmniscientOne
"Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala" sang Perseus, the Evil one, Slayer of Souls, as he walked down the muddy road.
"O wook, it be attifac" he slowly uttered. "Me want"
Percy tottered over on his baby legs and inspected his find. "Whad be dis type of shiny?"
"Whadeva id be, me wike. Me take". And with that, Percy, a baby in everything but his own mind, staggered off uncertainly, a triumphant grin stretched across his face. Suddenly, his balance failed him, and he tumbled face down in the slush. Tears fell openly from his eyes as he cried out "Mama, me got da booboo!"
As if to top off his battle scars, an unexpected, torrential wave of rain drove down upon his young head. He stumbled blindly on against the sudden onslaught of the elements, his pudgy face battered by the wind and lit by the forks of lightning slashing down onto the land.
"Me too yung to dy" he yelled, shaking his fist at the sky. Then as his eyes shifted from their upward direction to their downcast position, he caught a glimpse of a towering structure in the distance, almost completely obscured by the windblown deluge.
"Is da house" He happily mumbled. "Bud so faw, so faw." His wispy hair whipped around in the wind as he crawled slowly to the house. He trudged along slowly, his eyes so focused on the ground and the next step that he didn't know he was at the house until he bumped his head against the wall. Percy proceeded to pound on the door until his mother let him in. The sheltered, heated room was a relief after the monsoon outside, and Percy was impatient to show somebody his newly discovered possession.
"Momma, wook ad dis" Percy exclaimed.
"No honey, not now" was his mother's reply. Evidently begging wasn't going to work, so Percy changed tack.
"Fine den, ingore I, bud you be sowy when you no ged to see" His mother would not respond, so Percy finally gave up and stumped off to marvel at his alleged artifact, which was, in fact, a bar of soap.
THIS IS THE STORY OF A TODDLER (Percy Jackson), AND HIS EXPERIENCE IN THE SHOWER.
