So sorry that I haven't wrote anything! My mom needed my laptop for a school project and it took FOREVER! I've been reading Percy Jackson and I wanted to do a 2nd generation short of thing. Sorry if something is off, I've only read the first series.

Disclaimer; I do not own Percy Jackson sadly. I only own my OCs (which is pretty much the 2nd generation.)

Chapter 1; Spiders

"Mom, there he is again." Annabel said to her mother as she looked at the boy sitting under the tree across the sidewalk.

"Well, go talk to him." Annabeth said as she twisted her daughter's blonde hair in her fingers. Annabel looked just like her mother, blonde hair and stormy gray eyes.

"What!? Mom, no! I'll go over there and start rambling about history or something!" The 13, soon to be 14, year old girl blushed and hid her face in the book she'd been reading.

"Ok then, I'll go over and talk to him. I might even invite him in for a drink or something." Annabeth said as she began to walk over to the boy, ignoring her daughter's protests. Once Annabeth reached the tree she got a good look at the boy. He had dark dirty brown hair, tan skin and an eye patch over his left eye. Annabeth mentally slapped herself. It never dawned upon her that the boy could have been homeless and sat outside asking for food or something. She was brought out of her thoughts when she saw the boy looking at her.

"Hello. I'm Annabeth. Would you like to come in and have something to drink?" She asked as she offered a hand to the boy. He took hold of her hand as he nodded a 'yes' to her question.

"What's your name?" Annabeth asked. The boy opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Annabeth bent her knees a bit to be eye level with the boy. She had a concerned look in her eyes. "Are you alright?" She asked. The brown haired boy nodded his head quickly and waved his hand as if telling her to calm down. He gestured to his throat, then his mouth, and then made a writing movement with his hand.

"Are you mute?" Annabeth asked gently as she walk back towards the house, hand an hand with the boy. He shook his head and smiled again. He then pulled down the collar of his shirt to revile a white bandage wrapped around his throat.

"Oh! Well, let's get you inside for some food, and a notepad." Annabeth smiled when the boy nodded in agreement. The boy's eye left Annabeth's and settled on the blonde girl sitting on the stairs. He turned to Annabeth as if asking 'who is that?'

"This is my daughter, Annabel." Annabeth introduced her as the two got to the stairs.

"H-hi! I'm Annbeth. I-I mean I'm Annacel! I mean-!" Annabel tried and failed to greet the boy, she felt her face heat up and looked anywhere besides the boy. She felt her face get even warmer when the boy just smiled at her and held his hand out for a simple hand shake, which she appreciated.

"Alright, let's get inside." Annabeth shooed both for them in the house.

"So, you're a demigod to!?" Annabel was pretty much bouncing in her seat. She bounced even more when the boy nodded his head. The only other demigods Annabel ever met were her 2 older bothers, her parents, and friends of her parents and their kids. But they were all family so it wasn't the same as meeting another demigod with a completely different story.

"Oh! Who's your godly parent?" She asked. She regretted asking when the he shrank away. He almost looked shameful.

"Spook! Do you want some more pizza?" Annabeth called from the kitchen. Spook scribbled an answer on the notepad in front of him and held it up for Annabel to read.

"He said 'no thanks' mom!" Annabel shouted her mother the answer. After eating, Annabeth invited the both of them into the living room to talk.

"Do you have a home Spook?" Annabeth asked from her spot on the couch. Spook nodded his head. "Where do you live?" Both girls watch as he wrote his address down.

"Woah! That's all the way on the other side of town." Annabel said as she read the address.

"What are you doing all the way out here? Your parents must be worried sick!" Annabeth exclaimed. Spook just shook his head 'no'. "What do you mean?" She asked in concern and confusion, he began to write on the paper.

'I never met my father. I lived with mama and she loved me so much that I didn't need a dad to feel loved. Then she turned mean, so I ran away." Spook held up the notepad with a sad smile.

"You said you were a demigod," Annabeth stared. "Who's your godly parent?"

Spook hesitated, and then wrote something down. 'Promise you won't hate me?' it said.

"Promise." Both of the girls answered at the same time. Spook nodded, but still looked scared.

'I've been sitting by your house because I have to protect you from mama.' Spook wrote. 'She doesn't like you very much, or your mother, Athena.

"I don't get it." Annabel said.

"Wait you don't mean-. Spook, is your mother Arachne?" Annabeth asked. Spook didn't nod or shake his head. He sat there with his head down as his shoulders began to shake. He jumped when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.

"It's ok. You were protecting us from her spiders, weren't you?" Annabeth asked gently as she combed his hair with her fingers. Spook nodded his head then buried himself in the loving woman's embrace and began to cry. His mother never gave him hugs like this anymore. She stared to ignore him when he stared to protect the children of Athena.

"Would you like to live with us?" Spook was taken back by the question. He was excepting them both to make him leave, but he didn't except this.

"Y-you would d-do that, for m-me?" He asked in a raspy voice through his light hiccups. The girls were a bit taken back that he was talking, but Annabel snapped out of it.

"Of course we would!" Annabel jumped into the hug to. "You've been sitting by that tree for months now, and all because you were keeping us safe!"

"B-but, what about your husband and sons?" Spook pulled out from the group hug to look at the 2 females.

"Percy won't mind another boy in the house. And the boys would love a new brother." Annabeth said.

"I'm ok with you staying, under one condition," Annabel said, but quickly finished her statement when see saw Spook flinch. "You have to play games with me to!"

"Oh! I can do that, I guess." Spook breathed a sigh of relief as he tugged on his eye patch.

When Spook heard a knock at the door, his first move was to run and find the nearest hiding place but Annabel kept him on the couch.

"Don't worry. Dad loves meeting new people and my brothers would love anyone who knew the first thing about video games." The blonde haired girl told him. His body tensed up as he heard the door open.

"Well, look Annabel, the clowns are back." Annabeth teased the boys as they walked in.

"Love you to Wise girl." Percy smirked as he gave his wife a kiss.

"Hey, get a room." Both parents turned to look at their oldest child and son, Luke.

"I second that." Said their second youngest son, Ethan agreed.

"Whatever you two." Percy joked.

"Ok, come on," Annabeth said. "There's someone you three need to meet."

"Really? Who?" Percy asked as the four of them walked into the living room.

"Hi daddy!" Annabel yelled as she jumped on her dad and trapped him in one of her famous bear hugs.

"Hey, who's this?" Everyone's attention was turned to Ethan, then to the person on the couch that he was pointing to.

"This is Spook, son of Arachne. He's going to be staying here from now on." Annabeth said as she leaned on her husband.

"Hi! I'm Ethan and this is my older brother, Luke." Ethan greeted Spook with a friendly smile right away. As the four teens began to mingle, Percy pulled Annabeth to the side.

"Did you say he was the son of Arachne?" Percy whispered.

"Yes he is, but I trust him, and that's saying something. He's been sitting out by that tree for months because he was making sure his mom's spiders didn't get any of us." Annabeth took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "He's a good kid Percy, if it's okay with you, he's living here."

Percy looked her in the eyes and saw that she was completely sure of this. And knowing his Wise girl, once she has her mind set to something, you can forget trying to change her mind. He planted a light kiss on her lips then spoke,

"If you really want him here, then I have no problem with him being here." He said and smiled at the huge happy grin that spread across his wife's face. The two parents made their way to the living room to tell their kids that they were going to have a new brother, but it looked like Spook bet them to it.

"Mom! Mom! Is Spook really gonna live with us!? Can he stay in our room? Please!" Luke and Ethan pressured their parents with question after question. Thankfully, Annabel stepped in. Both boys yelp when their ears were pulled harshly.

"Spook," Percy stared as he approached the boy on the couch. "I look forward to having another son!" He finished with a big smile. Spook reached his, slightly shaking, hand out.

"T-thank, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson." He thanked them has he tugged on his eye patch again and tried to hide his face so the blush didn't show.

"Aww! Look, he's embarrassed!" Annabel teased as she poked Spook head which resoled in him squeaking and hiding even more. He lifted his head when he was suddenly pulled by Ethan into the boys' room. Annabeth turned to Percy to talk about adoption papers, clothes, etc, but stopped when she saw the look on her lover's face. It was a sad, almost longing look in his eyes.

"Percy, are you ok?" She asked as she sat beside his and wrapped her arms around him.

"Ethan Nakamura." He said without looking at Annabeth. "Spook looks just like him."

"Don't worry," Annabeth tightened her arms around him. " They won't end up like those before them. I swear it."

End of Chapter 1
