Paul's POV-
Paul liked to go to the beach late at night, not to do anything really, just to think. He sat on the bench and looked out at the sea. His boss was getting annoyed with all of Paul's time off, but what he didn't understand was that Paul had a demigod to take care of while Sally was on vacation. He was really stressed out. He continued to think, but was interrupted with a scream. "PAUL!" it sounded like Percy. Paul sprinted down to the water, where Percy was swimming to shore. He knew something was wrong. Percy was wet which means he lost focus on keeping dry in the water, and he took a long time to get onto the shore. Also, his eyes were wide with fear and shock. Paul saw this and grabbed Percy's hands. Eventually he pulled Percy onto the sand but was shocked at what he saw.
Percy's Pov-
Percy didn't know what to think.. he knew that it must've been his father that did this to him, but he was still utterly confused. His eyes were wide with shock and fear. He hadn't had time to focus on keeping dry in the water because he was so confused on why he was suddenly transformed. His jet-black hair was wet and stuck to his forehead, his brilliant sea-green eyes peeking through. He pulled himself up onto the sand, dragging his lower half. Once he was on land he flipped himself over and looked down in shock. Instead of legs, there was a scaly, sea green fish tail.
Paul's POV-
Paul stared down at his stepson with wide eyes. His mouth hung open with confusion. Percy looked up at his mother and stepfather and started to explain. "I-I don't know what...it could have been-this tail wasn't-" Percy stuttered in panic, his tail flapped uselessly on the sand out of nervousness. Paul listened, but couldn't quite comprehend yet. He kneeled down next to Percy cautiously and looked at his stepson in the eye. "You're...you're a fish.." Paul stammered. He put his hand to his head and laughed nervously. My stepson's a freakin FISH. He has a tail...what the hades, do I tell Sally?! Paul thought to himself in panic. He stared down at the tail and then at Percy, who looked about just as freaked out as him. "How did this happen?"
Percy's POV-
Percy looked at Paul and tried to explain again. "I don't know...after a mission I was given the choice to either fly home on a plane or swim and well, you know how Zeus gets." Paul did not. "So, I decided to swim knowing it'd be easier for me." Percy continued to Paul, whose eyes were the size of golf balls. "I was almost home when I felt my legs merge together and I looked down. POOF instant merman." Paul nodded, understanding but not quite comprehending. "So, why do you think this happened?" Paul leaned forward examining Percy's tail. Percy winced a little and moved his tail away cautiously. He didn't want to be seen as a freak by his stepdad. "I don't know, but I think it was caused by my dad" Paul reached out a hand to touch it. It felt wet and scaly, just like a fish. ok this is getting weird... Percy began to get annoyed and his tail twitched. He scooted away, it tickled him. He tucked his tail underneath him and glared at Paul "Don't touch it!" Percy didn't like this, not one bit.
Paul's POV-
Paul's expression turned to concern. He knew he needed to get Percy back home. He grabbed Percy and put him over his shoulder, Percy's tail dangling. Paul started to walk to the car but stopped when Percy started trying trying to wriggle out of his grasp. "Let. Me. Go!" Percy started to panic, he started to hit Paul with his fist and his tail flailed around. Paul tightened his grip on Percy and ran to the car, but it wasn't easy with a green fish tail slapping him every 2 seconds. "Percy, CHILL OUT! I'm just trying to get you home!" Paul put Percy in the backseat, and he tucked his stepson's tail underneath. Percy swatted Paul's hands away and glared. He didn't like how Paul was treating him like an animal. "Just drive the car..." Percy mumbled. Paul sighed and got in the front seat and turned on the car. He pulled out and began to drive home. "So, are you sure you can't turn back?" Paul asked, looking at him through the mirror. "No, believe me I tried." Percy crossed his arms and looked down. He raised an eyebrow and put his hand on his tail. It felt like a fish.. Huh..it's really scaly Paul saw this and began to chuckle. Percy crossed his arms again and looked out the window.
