Growing Up: Perseus Jackson

by little-miss-fire-starter

I'm redoing the Percy twin stories and this is them growing up in two totally different worlds. Percy is kept by Sally, while Marisol is left at camp half-blood after being only three days old. This is Percy's life growing up as normally as possible when you're a kid with ADHD&Dyslexia. See him grow up until he goes to Yancy, where everything will change. R&R

Prologue

Third Person P.O.V.

Percy and Sally arrived home with Sally in tears. She walked over to her bedroom and sat down in bed with her back against the headboard and Percy in her arms. She smiled at him and he smiled back but his green eyes shone with tears.

"You can feel it, can't you?" she asked in a whisper. He just stared back at her, the tears beginning to flow from his young eyes. "I'm sorry we had to leave her. I know it must be hurting you to lose her."

Percy began to wail and she knew that was his form of a solid yes.

She unwrapped him and undid his one-z. She knew that he probably went in his diaper and quickly changed him. When she was done she scooped him up and went to the small kitchen where she popped a bottle of baby formula into the microwave. She swayed back and forth humming a gentle tune to calm her son.

When the formula was ready Sally fed and burped Percy calmly. He was relaxed and quietly fell asleep. It stunned her that he was out for the rest of the night with the exception of feedings. Well, until sunrise.

He began to wail and after changing him, feeding him, and trying to sooth him, he simply wouldn't stop wailing.

She wasn't sure what to do and was about to go to her next door neighbor Annalisia for help when Percy's suddenly stopped crying and began to giggle. She stared at him in confusion but soon remembered something Poseidon had told her about demigods.

Usually twins with the blood of a god or goddess will have a link. It can be spiritual, mental, physical, or emotional. In most demigods of Olympians they usually contain two of the four. Back in the day for twins of the Big Three it was three of the four, and for minor gods' twin spawn it was usually one.

For the more powerful pairs they can have all four, giving them the ultimate connection. That happened only once with my brother's spawn. Jason, he had a twin brother who was killed young. But they still had their connection and learned to control it.

Sally smiled. It must be Marisol. The twins must have a mental connection. After all, they're children of one of the Big Three.

Percy, Sally thought to herself, you're a demigod. You will grow up as a mortal. You will think you're an only child. And you will be loved.

Why?

Because you are Perseus.
