Blinding Silence
A/N:I think this is a common concept, So let's warp and free transform it like no tomorrow.
Unknown
You could hear the bottles breaking. You hear a mother crying. You hear the smacking for skin against skin. You feel the vibrations and the bodies slamming against the floor. And what did you do. You did nothing. You couldn't pull yourself together to help the poor family. The ancient laws had forbid you anyways. My argument towards this statement was we always find a mortal for a "good time" but the law won't let us man up and help them. I am sorry Sally for being a horrible father. I am sorry Percy for having you live this kind of life.
After giving into a little bit of my self hate, I heard a snap. I look back into the apartment, to see Sally's limp body being raped. Behind the man, I saw Percy with a knife. He crept up and slit the man's throat. He then pushed the body of his mothers and prayed. In the back of my mind a heard his prayer.
"Father, please give my mother a proper burial, and immediate send Gabe's body to the the Fields."
I was surprised at his knowledge of the Greek Gods. I decided to answer his prayer and sent Sally to Atlantis, I would have to explain to Amphitrite later. Gabe's body was then burned so no one would know of the event that had happened in the room.
Percy
Life. What is my purpose as a blind boy. A blind boy with no speaking capabilities. As Gabe forced my mind into utter distress forcing me to be quiet in fear of what would happen. But now I am free. I grabbed my savings and a backpack. Inside, I stored my extra clothes, small energy bars, a knife, and what mom called drachmas. I proceeded to break the one and only window in this apartment. After climbing out I willed the water vapor to carry me down. I let a breathe of relief out knowing I was free from one monster from my life. I had taken a guess that my father was Poseidon because of the water healing all of the abuse I faced. I now set out for Central Park. Something in my gut was telling me to be there.
As I walked down the lonely streets of New York, I pulled out my mp3 player and pressed play. Bullet by Hollywood Undead came on. I caws somewhat able to under the meaning behind the lyrics. I was only twelve yet I probably saw more pain then one typically should. I guess I could explain how I see things while being Blind. I use the water vapor in the wit to form shapes around people. But because of my inability to speak, I forced myself to learn sign language. It was alright, until someone doesn't now anything about it.
As I walked deeper into the forest of Central Park,I decided to expand my sight. What I saw was about three children fighting what seemed to be Hell hounds. I pulled out pt my knife and ran in their direction. When I got to the battlefield, I propped myself up on a tree and jumped out. Landing on top of what seemed to be the Alpha, I was almost shaken off. But in my desperate grip, I had cut it's back open repeatedly. After the Alpha was gone. I asked who the satyr of the group where they were going.
Shawn
A strange boy with black hair that covered his eyes had asked us in sign where my group was going.
I signed back,"We are going to Camp, would you like to join us?"
"No, but thanks for the offer. I am looking for a place to stay, but not a Home."
We signed to each other for about five minutes before I had to get going.
"See you around Percy."
"Same to you Shawn."
Percy
After I waved my good byes, I grabbed my knife once again, It felt right to se these types of weapons. Maybe this was being part of a demigod. As I unpacked and made camp, I didn't realize the silver eyes watching me.
Artemis
A boy had interfered with our Hunt. He was a strange one was
regular for a twelve year old. But his eyes were a light green. As he unpacked I told the hunt to get in a ready position I stepped out and confronted him about interfering.
Percy
I had finished unpacking when I sensed a twelve year old girl behind me, when I extend my senses, I saw more. Thinking back to the mythology lessons my mom drilled into my head, I took a wild shot here in hopes that I won't become a jackalope.
I turned around and signed,
"Welcome Lady Artemis, what do you need?"
Artemis
The boy turned towards me before I could say something. He made strange hand gestures as if he were talking to me. I then remembered one of my Hunters had a deaf family member before joining us.
"Diana, come out I need you to translate."
When Diana stepped out and was standing by my side. I took another look at the boy. His eyes seemed dull as if he were blind. I shook those thoughts away and asked.
"Boy, why did you interfere with our Hunt?"
After Diana looked at the hand movements, she spoke,
"I was helping some demigods that were attacked, I am sorry if I had interfered without even knowing."
"I might let you go if answer my question."
He nodded.
"Are you blind?"
He simply nodded once more.
"Why don't you speak."
After two second of translations,
"I was abused by my stepfather. I now cannot speak. I am here now because he killed my mother. I then proceeded to kill him and run."
"You must be taken to Olympus, we might be able to fix this problem."
He just nodded and began to pack up his equipment. I then flashed the him, the hunters and I to my palace.
Percy
I was now on Olympus. Maybe now I could find out my true father.
"Follow me boy, we're are going to my brother Apollo to see if he can find a way around this predicament."
All I could do is nod along. When we reached Apollo's palace, he bombarded us with questions that I would not like to mention.
"Well I can't fix his voice but I could have him transmit hs thoughts to speak instead."
I nodded in agreement. I saw a beam cut through the water particles in the air. I then proceeded to blackout.
