Hey, Everybody, I know I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought, since schools ending, I should try again. And, I realized I've never done a story in one of my favorite fandoms, Percy Jackson. So here goes nothing…
(This takes place after book 5, but before SoN)
It's the summer after Percy defeated the Titan Lord Kronos, and he and Annabeth are looking forward to a normal summer. No quests, neither of them in mortal peril, just a summer spent at camp for once.
Percy lay, leaning up against Thalia's pine facing camp, enjoying the sunshine and waiting for Annabeth. They had plans to go into the City for a dinner date, but Annabeth was running behind. Being the official architect for Olympus, she had a great excuse, and Percy didn't really mind, but today she was even later than usual. Percy was this close to heading over to the Athena cabin to see what was taking her, when he heard a scream behind him. Turning around, he looked down the hill and saw, in the distance, two kids running, toward camp and away from what appeared to be a half-dozen half-human, half-snake creatures. He quickly uncapped his sword and ran to help. As he got closer to the kids he could see they were a boy and a girl, about 5 and 10, respectively. They both had curly blonde hair and looked like Annabeth. So, he thought to himself, probably children of Athena.
The kids looked up at him when he was about foot ahead. They had been alternating looking at their feet, the camps border, and the monsters chasing them. When they meet his eyes, a look of shock came over the girls face, and the boy looked overjoyed.
"Don't worry you two," Percy said."I'll take care of them. Just keep running toward the tree and after that head toward the big house on the hill. Tell them what's happening."
The boy looked slightly confused but said ok and sped after his sister.
Percy waited for the monsters to get to him, which didn't take long.
"Out of the way, Half-Blood," The monster in the lead said. "If you give us the children, we'll leave you in one piece."
"Not going to happen" Percy said, and started slicing. They put up a good fight, but their main avenue of attack seemed to be opening their jaws impossible wide and biting their enemies in half. What with his curse of Achilles, they never stood a chance.
By the end of the fight, Percy's shirt was in tatters, but he hadn't even broken a sweat. The curse of Achilles sure was useful sometimes. He turned to head up to the big house, to make sure those kids were ok, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the two kids standing by Thalia's pine. He jogged back them.
"Why didn't you go to the big house, like I said?" he asked.
"Sorry, Daddy, we just wanted to make sure you'd be okay." said the little boy.
Percy was stunned and, in his daze, took in a fact he hadn't before. Both of them had green eyes…
So… what'd you think? Feel free to send me name suggestions for the new kids.
