Son of the sea god, The Titan Lord hissed. Percy tried to swing Riptide, but his arms wouldn't move, and he realizes that they were frozen in time. Here is my curse. May you forget.
A rumble shook Olympus, and Percy could move again. Except that he couldn't feel his legs.
Percy gasped in astonishment as his legs started to evaporate. His fingers followed next, and the last thing he saw before his world turned black was Luke's aurum eyes flickering back to the cool blue.
. . .
Annabeth's grey eyes searched the dilapidated Throne Room.
She fell to her knees when she saw Luke's slumped corpse, and almost fainted she realized that Percy wasn't there.
Twelve brilliant flashes shined in the Throne Room, and Hermes scurried over to Annabeth. "Annabeth, what- di immortals."
"We-" her words escaped, but hoarse by her shock and muffled by her hand clasped over her mouth in disbelief. "We need a shroud for the son of Hermes. And, the son of the sea."
The next thing he felt was two small hands uncovering his brown eyes.
"Jack!" his sister squeaked excitedly, bouncing up and down, "Open your present!"
He -Jack- didn't feel right. He felt as if he stole someones skin and condemned their soul to Tartarus.
Tartarus? What was that?
Jack - who's Jack?- uncomfortably set the wooden box on a nearby table and opened the lid.
Ice skates. How could they afford these? The blades must have cost a lot, and the leather-
"Jack," his sister said, with a slightly worried expression, "don't you like them? These are what you've been asking for the whole year, remember?"
He plastered a smile and ruffled her hair. "I love them, Sally," Where did the name come up? "Now how about we go ask Mom if we could go outside to the lake, and test out these skates."
Sally frowned. "But the lake isn't frozen enough, Jack."
He tossed the ice skates back in the box and carried the box in his arms. "Come on, Sally."
Sally rolled her eyes. "Fine. Let's go, Jack!"
As they sped out, he knew one thing: My name's not Jack.
. . .
"Jack, I'm scared," Sally said, eyeing the cracking ice under her feet.
Jack smiled, trying not to show worry. "I know, I know, but you're going to be all right. You're not going to fall in." You'r Jack's sister, and the least I can do for him now that I stole his life is save you. "We're going to have a little fun instead."
His brown eyes searched for the safest way back to solid ground.
"No, we're not," his sister quipped, eyeing the cracking eyes below her feet.
"Would I trick you?" Jack asked innocently.
She was so frightened, a tear rolled down her face. "Yes! You always play tricks!"
Jack chuckled. "Well, all right. But not this time. I promise. I promise you're gonna be..." He paused to look at the ice cracks. "You're gonna be fine." Jack stared into his sister's wide, brown eyes, hoping that his own looked reassuring. "You have to believe in me."
His sister (She's not your sister, she's Jack's. JACK'S.) choked back her tears and gave a small smile.
"You wanna play a game?" 'Jack' asked, hoping the idea would get her mind off of the ice. "We're going to play hopscotch! Like we play every day."
"It's as easy as one..." He jumped, but landed unsteadily. Grinning, as if his stumble was on purpose, he called out, "Two." 'Jack' leaped again again. "Three!" Jack reached down by his feet and picked up a stick- much like a shepherd's staff lying on the ice. Jack held out his new staff toward her.
"All right," he called out, "Now it's your turn."
"One."
She hopped carefully.
"That's it, that's it Sally," Jack reassured. He pushed the staff out so she could grab it. "Two."
She was almost there. Almost.
"Three." Sally grabbed the end of the staff, and using all his strength, Jack hurled her over to the shore. Grinning victoriously, he-
The Pond's ice couldn't hold him, and Jack fell through.
"Jack!"
. . .
Percy remembered, and for a moment, he could breath.
Of course, it was only glimpses. He remembered the time he kissed a blurred blond while sparring, or the time they went to W_ter_ _an_ and she flushed scarlet.
He remembered who she was, but only her. She was his Anna-
Percy's world faded into the depths.
Erm, hi. First RotG! :) Yeah. I'll hopefully update soon. :)
IMPORTANT! READ!
Since this is an AU, here are some facts about this story:
-Jamie is 6 when the 'Pitch incident' happens
-Hedge does not exist
-Leo is 8, when he meets Jack (shh... spoiler)
-The mechanics shop is attached to the house (you'll see what I mean... and shh, another spoiler...)
-There's gonna be a slight crossover from another fandom. It's only an object, and everything about the object will be explained.
That's it so far. I'll update the list.
Well, thanks for reading. Review! (Oh, the classic last line.)
