The twin sons of the sea
Third person P.O.V
Today was the day Poseidon thought, today Sally would be giving birth to their child, as one can expect Poseidon was nervous as he walked outside of the hospital room Sally was in. As the doctor walked out to speak with him Poseidon was worried; what if something happened and the doctor was coming to tell him, he shuddered at the thought.
Sir, I'm happy to let you know that Sally's surgery was successful, but we have some strange news said the doctor.
What kind of news? Asked a worried Poseidon.
Well you see Sally um well how do I say this, Sir seems to have she actually given birth to twins it's a miracle as we didn't even know that she had a second child, but it seems god must favor her to give her two bouncing baby boys.
Poseidon stopped dead in his tracks if Zeus found out, well he didn't want to think about what would happen after their promise not to sire any more children, one child would be dangerous enough but two would be like signing their death warrant; besides any child of his was already a monster magnet, two was like a satellite signal being released to all monsters within twenty miles alerting them of a fresh demigod meal. He just hoped he could protect Sally and the boys without his brothers learning of them.
That's good to know may I go and see Sally and the boys? Poseidon asked.
Go right on in she's pretty tired so be careful around her and the boys. Replied the doctor.
I will thank you, doctor. Poseidon said happily
As Poseidon walked in the first thing he saw was Sally with two blue bundles in each arm. Hello Sally are you ok? asked Poseidon .
I'm fine tired,but fine would you like to meet your twin sons? Asked Sally.
I would love too. said Poseidon as he walked to the side of Sally's medical bed.
The first thing that hit Poseidon when he looked at the boys was the aura of power radiating off of them, The second thing was their looks the child on the right had a tuft of black hair and had heterochromia meaning his left eye was like his fathers a light sea green while his right eye was light blue his aura was vicious like a hurricane or an earthquake just radiating palpable levels of power. The child on the left however had a tuft of black hair like his brother, but his eyes where a light sea green just like his father. His aura was far softer than his brothers but seemed to give off a message. Like a wave he may not seem outright deadly but under the right conditions he could become a tsunami and obliterate anything and everything in his path. He knew the boys were far more powerful than he had ever expected and so he needed way to hide their auras.
They're beautiful aren't they Poseidon? Asked Sally with a smile on her face
Hmm…. yes indeed they are gorgeous just like their mother. Poseidon said in a tone that showed he was thinking.
Sally what do you want to name them it's up to you said Poseidon.
How about Perseus and Orion that way you can please two members of the council Perseus for Zeus and Orion for Artemis said Sally.
Sally, I understand that you're trying to please them and while the names are beautiful why would you name a child Orion to make Artemis happy if anything she'll get angry said Poseidon.
Really? I thought she would like Orion but if you say so. I still want to keep the name for him it is a nice name said Sally.
Hello, Perseus; Hello Orion, I'm your father Poseidon said smiling at the two.
Sally please come with me too Atlantis while down there Hades and Zeus can't hurt you as you would be in my domain;Poseidon said remembering the problem that had now doubled.
Poseidon I already told you that I wouldn't go down to Atlantis because it would bother Amphitrite and Triton and I am not that kind of woman and anyways you know I like doing things by myself and not having to depend on people even if they are godly Sally said.
Fine but If you wont come with me ill to give the boys my blessing it will allow them to be even more powerful when the time is right and for right now I can use it as a means to suppress their powers, said Poseidon.
Ok, I'm fine with that but please if anything happens to them and they're near your domain try to protect them Sally said.
I swear on the river Styx that if I can protect them when they're near my domain then I will Poseidon said as thunder boomed overhead.
I want you to also know that on the day I claim them they will be made my champions boosting there powers even further; hopefully the power boost will help them live longer a demigod life is not a kind one so they will need every possible advantage said Poseidon.
Good now put them in their cribs I want to sleep Sally said tiredly.
Time skip 12 years Third person P.O.V
Percy sweetheart wake up Orion or your both going to be late for school and today's the field trip you guys looked forward to so get going Sally shouted from across the apartment. While smelly Gabe played poker with his friends and made the place look like a pigsty .
Percy woke up his brother and the two went to brush their teeth. Just looking at the boys you could tell they were different; Percy was a lean child but he was built very well for a boy of just 12 years of age. He had a six-pack and everything else you would normally find on an Olympic tier swimmer; his brother Orion on the other hand was a different story. He was not built like a swimmer but more like a linebacker/ wrestler with an athletic build he also had a six pack but was significantly larger than his brother maybe a solid 7 inches taller at around 5'10 and overall twice his size. You could tell that Percy was built for speed and agility and Orion was built strength and durability. The two boys finished brushing their teeth and got dressed. After a brief hug with their mother they headed to school.
Percy's pov
Hi my names Percy Jackson and I go to Yancy academy with my twin brother Orion if you haven't heard of Yancy academy it's pretty much just a school for troubled kids and by that I don't mean like bad kids (some of us anyways) I just mean kids who have dyslexia or ADHD. My brother and me were on our way to the museum to hang out with Grover during our school field trip when the redheaded she-devil appeared.
''What do you want Nancy'' I asked already knowing she just wanted to annoy me
''Nothing Percy where's your boyfriend Grover '' Nancy asked
"Nancy leave Percy alone please I don't need him getting in trouble today, the school years almost over and we just want to enjoy it," said Orion.
"Shut up mush for brains, god you're almost as lame as your brother," Nancy said while walking away laughing.
Orion just sneered at her retreating figure.
"Just ignore her don't get pissed you don't want to accidentally get in trouble we both know she's not worth it," Orion said to me
"Fine let's just hurry up and find Grover," I muttered
"What's sup Perce, Sup Ori how's everything going also why do you guys seem so pissed," said Grover
"Not good we ran into Nancy on our way to you and she ticked me and Orion off" replied Percy
Just then, Mr. Brunner rolled to the front of the museum with a megaphone and said "Children please come inside we will be beginning the school field trip of the museum "
"Let's go guys," Orion said while running up the steps.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see glaring at the two of us from the top of the steps which I'm used too but something today was off her look was just evil. But I pushed the thought to the back of my mind and raced to the top of the stairs.
10 minutes later:
"Percy Jackson would you please tell me what this grave marker represents," Mr. Brunner asked while pointing to the one with the man eating a bundle with other bundles in his stomach.
"Um, that's Kronos eating his kids right he was the king of the titans right? His kids where the gods and because he thought one of them might overthrow him he ate them but his wife gave him a rock instead of his youngest son Zeus who later tricked him into barfing up his other children who later did overthrow him "Percy replied
"Well put mister Jackson albeit I don't think barfed was the proper term," replied Mr. Brunner
"Can you tell us how this affects our lives nowadays?"Mr. Brunner asked
"Um no not really "I replied trying to be honest
"Greek Mythology affects all of our lives we may not notice it but it affects all of us from language to architecture its ever present my boy, try to never forget that"
Mr. Brunner said seriously
Just then the alarm around Mr. Brunner's neck went off
"Ok then class, we will continue our tour after lunch go eat, children." said Mr. Brunner
Outside Orion pov
"Nancy stop right now" I yelled as she threw PBb&J at Grover and Percy.
"Why your loser brother won't do anything he's too stupid I mean he's a dislexiac what a loser and plus I don't want to its not like either of you are going to do something about it" Nancy taunted.
"Percy don't take the bait," I said trying to warn my brother
"Too late" Grover whispered as Percy stood up
"Hey, klepto girl its dyslexic not dyslexiac but then again I would rather have to be here because I have trouble reading not because I steal" Percy sneered.
"Nancy just back off my brother really doesn't need you of all people to annoy him so please kindly piss off" I said staring at her.
"No I don't think I will piss off, Orion god your just as annoying as your brother and Percy I steal because I like to do you like having mush for brains?" Nancy taunted
"That's it," Percy said as he stepped towards her
I grabbed my brother's shoulder stopping him before he reached her but then all of the sudden; everyone heard a splash as Nancy flew into the fountain.
"They pushed me," Nancy shouted
" JACKSONS COME HERE THIS INSTANT!'' Mrs. Dodds screeched from the top of the stairs.
Dude the water it grabbed her did you see that, I heard some blonde kid say to his friend on our way to .
"The two of you come with me this instant," Mrs. Dodds said angrily
As We followed her deeper into the museum they came into a storage room where We turned around to face and nearly freaked out somehow Mrs. Dodds had gotten to the top of the storage scaffolding and was looking down at us.
"Where is it, no one can hide from us forever, tell me now and you shall suffer less pain, where is the lightning bolt!" Mrs. Dodds or whatever she was screeched as her eyes turned red and her nails turned into claws as leathery bat wings sprouted from her back.
"We have no clue what lightning bolt your talking about miss but swear we didn't take it" said a scared Percy.
"YOU DARE LIE TO ME, YOU WILL SUFFER" shouted Mrs. Dodds
Suddenly she jumped down and flew towards Percy.
I got into a fighting stance besides my shell-shocked brother when suddenly I saw Mr. Brunner
"En garde Perseus, Mr. Brunner shouted as he tossed Percy a regular ball point pen which as the top fell off as Percy caught it transformed into a shining three-foot long sword that gleamed in the light.
As flew towards Percy time seemed to slow down and he quickly spun around and sliced the sword through her body effectivly cutting her in half. As the two halves of her body fell she screeched and turned into a golden dust.
"Mr. Jackson next time bring your own writing utensil, please." Mr. Brunner said as he gently took the pen from Percy's hand with me looking on in bewilderment.
"Mr. Brunner what just happened to ," Percy asked
''Mr.B the bitch had wings what the hell did just happen'' I asked Cautiously still staring at the dust piles that were once
"Percy you and Orion need to get home it is unsafe for you here" Mr. Brunner said with a worried look on his face
"Grover" Mr. Brunner called to the boy beside him "take Percy and Orion to their mother I think its time "
"Time for what" Percy asked
"Yeah what do you mean its time?" I asked defensively
"Don't worry about it guys lets just go find your mom" Grover said, as we walked towards the front of the museum.
Percy pov.
I ran as fast as I could towards my apartment with Grover and Orion right beside me. I had just killed the old hag known as Mrs. Dodd's (not that I was complaining no math homework sounded pretty good to me.) who had transformed into some kind of bat lady thing so to say the least I was freaked out.
When I got home I wasn't surprised to see smelly Gabe still playing poker with his friends four and a half hours later. And then the fat sack of stupidity moved. If you wanted to imagin Gabe just imagine Jabba the hut without a tail and no money exact same thing in my opinion.
"Hey, kid got any money on you," Gabe asked
Orion and I where already used to this routine of Gabe asking us for money every time he played poker so he answered with the usual response.
"Yeah why," I asked already knowing what his response would be.
"I need it for poker so give me it NOW'' Gabe shouted.
"No way Gabe mom gave me this money so just use the money you have " I said
Gabe stood from his chair and walked towards Me and started to crack his knuckles.
"So you think your so tough huh well let me show you why I'm the man of the house and not you" Gabe snarled as he grabbed my throat backed Me into the wall with my eyes open in shock as I watched a punch I was expecting never reach me.
Orion POV
When I saw Gabe about to punch Percy saying I was mad was an understatement, I grabbed Gabe by the shoulder and spun him around letting the punch instead connect with my side but I didn't even flinch.
"What are you doing trying to play the hero huh, ILL JUST KICK YOUR ASS TOO!" Gabe shouted obviously drunk.
I'm a big kid but Gabe was still bigger than me, as I was only 12 years old so I did the only logical thing one does when a Large adult tries to beat you up, I reared back and field goal kicked Gabe in the family jewels and then punched him in the head knocking him out. I then ran to Percy who was grasping his throat from getting chocked out but after getting him a glass of water he sat back in the kitchen calling our mom as if nothing had even happened. Once I saw Percy was fine I walked towards my room, Gabes poker mates seeming to not even care I had knocked him out as they just kept playing.
When I got into my room I was surprised to see a small book on my bed, I was pretty sure it wasn't there earlier in the morning. On the cover of the book there was a sticky note that said "hello my champion read this book and help protect your brother his destiny is a great one and he must live to fulfill it"-love Mrs. C
When I looked at the cover I almost passed out on the cover printed in gold letters were the words Percy Jackson and the Olympians the lightning thief. The words weren't what freaked me out what freaked me out was the fact that the cover had a boy with windswept black hair holding the same exact sword as my brother had when he killed and that's when realization struck it wasn't a kid who looked liked Percy it was Percy.
I started reading through the book and was shocked to find the events of today written word for word.
Something didn't seem right though because no matter how many times I looked my name wasn't mentioned once it was as if I didn't even exist, but I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and kept reading.
Once Percy came into our room I tried to stay calm and hid the book under my pillow, it seems that Percy is a son of Poseidon so I assume I am one as well but then again I'm non-existent in the book so I'm not too sure. I've always felt more powerful in water as if I could do anything so It does make me feel like I am a son of the sea. I mean me and Percy for some reason always heal in water and we both thought that our 1st grade class pet was screaming for his princes to save him so I think it's a safe bet.
But after reading the book I was worried, the words were still floating around in my head. If the book was right Hades would take my mother once we got to the top of half-blood hill. There was no way I would let anyone hurt a woman as nice as My mother, And if Hades somehow got her he would feel the full wrath of the seas.
Percy pov
Grover told me to pack a bag and get ready to leave. He went and told Orion to do the same, I don't know why but the sense of urgency in Grover's voice was enough to convince me to pack without asking any more questions.
When I saw Orion in our room I told him to get ready to leave; I don't know why but he seemed on edge but did as asked. When we walked out of our room we saw my mom had gotten home and was holding the keys to Gabe's Camaro. It was a pain having to explain why Gabe was knocked out but she seemed to understand. When she looked down at his unconscious body she said that she knew how to get him up. After my mom poured ice cold water on him and he woke up she told him she was taking the car and before he could protest Orion cracked his knuckles at which Gabe visibly gulped and agreed though not without some terms.
Gabe made me and Orion promise that his Camero wouldn't get even a single scratch, for some reason Orion laughed at this and started muttering under his breath. I only managed to hear my brother say something about a hill.
Once we all got in the car we drove in silence when I asked my mom where we were going she just said that we were going to a camp for special children. I groaned thinking that we were going to a kind of school summer camp.
Orion kept telling me not to worry about it and how I may enjoy it at the "special camp" and might even meet a girl there. When I started blushing my mom laughed from the front seat.
That night
As we drove Orion yelled for mom to stop the car as the hairs on everyone's arms stood, suddenly the car exploded sending us into a ditch in the side of the road. As I looked up I could see the roof split open as rain poured in; as I looked around I saw that Grover was passed out and Orion had somehow managed to kick his door open and was helping our mom out of the car.
As I looked at Gabe's busted camero and saw the storm overhead I knew what did this, it was lightning and by the looks of it a pretty powerful bolt at that.
While I helped Grover out of the car I heard a roar from behind us and when I looked back I was greeted with a not so pleasant surprise. To describe the creature behind me; I would have to start off with the fact that it was insanely tall as in maybe 8 or 9 feet tall and that's not including this beasts huge horns.
The beast behind me had furry legs with hooves from the waist down, while from the waist up it had the body of a man a really, really buff man. Its thick neck led up to a huge bulls head topped off with two massive horns that looked insanely sharp its nose was dripping mucous and had a large golden ring through it.
Normally I would be scared of a creature like this but one thing made me try and hold back my laugh, it was the fact that this super macho bull man was wearing his white fruit of the loom underwear and that was all he wore. Unfortunately for me, Orion, and our mom the monsters tighty whiteys plus the rain didn't really leave much to the imagination. Not that any of us would want to imagine it (I hoped).
As we ran up the hill Orion screamed for us to look out and before I could even ask why Gabe's camero slammed right behind me and Grover the explosion knocking us forwards and into the air. Orion ran towards me and helped me carry Grover, but it was too late as the minotaur was upon us "get them to safety while I distract it" Orion said quickly; that's when my brother decided to be an idiot by taking off his red polo shirt and start waving it at the beast.
The Minotaur charged Orion and tried to impale him on its horn but somehow at the last moment Orion jumped up and kicked off the Minotaur's head landing behind it.
The minotaur came barreling towards me and my mom, I managed to jump out of the way but somehow he managed to grab my mother around the neck and hold her up he then started squeezing her as she managed to choke out one last word "run."
That was the last thing I heard from her before her body exploded into gold dust.
Orion POV
Percy helped me with Grover as we carried him up the hill, once we where behind the pine we dropped Grover on the ground, the Minotaur going after our mom allowed us to grab Grover and get him to the pine tree. Once we saw that Grover was safe Percy and me charged at the monster, why we did that I honestly don't know but the fact that this monster took our mother made me see red. With my mind clouded in rage I told myself that if I couldn't make hades pay for it right now I would damn well make his pet pay for it.
A woman as nice as our mother should be treated like a queen and always kept happy not hurt and disrespected. This monster would pay for taking our mother from us.
Once we got next to the Minotaur I started waving my shirt in front of it causing it to charge at me as I backed towards a tree the Minotaur lowered his head to skewer me on his horns.
Once the Minotaur was close enough I jumped out of the way causing the Minotaur to impale its horn into the tree. When the Minotaur pulled himself out of the tree a loud crack was heard as his right horn came off. I yelled to Percy that the Minotaur seemed to have bad eyesight and that we could use that to our advantage (thanks for that one book). Percy nodded in understanding and we both turned towards the creature. Once the Minotaur stood it charged at Percy instead of me.
As it charged it stuck its long arms out to block Percy from rolling away; it seems it wasn't completely stupid after all. Right before it crashed into Percy, he jumped up landing on its head and kicking off its back sending it tumbling into the ground from the unexpected force. When the Minotaur was trying to stand back up Percy ran over to me thankfully it took the creature a while because of its massive head and his newly missing horn made Him unbalanced causing him to fall again after standing. Percy and I had to think of a way to kill this thing or we would be the ones who were killed; right as I thought that I realized there was a horn currently embedded in a tree and it was also razor sharp meaning it could make a good weapon (again thanks book) so I ran over and pulled it out and threw it to Percy who caught the foot long ivory horn and just stared at me In confusion.
Saying "what the hell do you want me to do with this?"
I responded by shouting, "Just stab the son of a bitch, ill get you an opening just be ready."
Just then the Minotaur seemed to have adjusted to his half horned head and gave us the most terrifying "MOOOOOO" I had ever heard. He then charged at me with his arms out and time seemed to slow down to a crawl I could see every movement the monster made instantly so when he reached me I kicked off his face landing on his head. While the Minotaur bucked to try to knock me off I held onto its final horn. As it bucked I pulled on its horn trying to get rid of its best weapon and with one final tug the horn came off with a satisfying "CRACK".
The monster bellowed in pain and while the pain distracted it I took its horn and stabbed it into its chest causing the monster to scream even louder before it threw me off. Suddenly Percy ran up to the monster and stabbed it in the chest again with the horn that he had and with one final pained roar the beast turned into a pile of golden dust. As soon as the monster died my adrenaline rush died with it leaving me extremely tired. And by the looks of it Percy was dealing with the same problem, as we hobbled up the hill and past the pine we fainted with exhaustion the last thing I saw before I blacked out was someone with blonde hair running towards us.
