Chapter one
Sally Pov.
2 am. That is what the clock said when I rolled over. I silently groaned. What had woken me up? Inside the kitchen I could hear someone moving around. I moved my fingers to the other side of the bed, Paul was here. Bolt rig up I sat in bed. Percy must be home! I tried to climb out of bed without waking Paul but of course, it didn't work. He rolled over and tried to pull me back down.
"Paul!" I hissed "Let me go! Percy's back!" That woke him up. He let go of me and together we crept down the hall of our apartment to the kitchen. There were more than one voice in there. In the kitchen I could hear footsteps the sound of running water, hushed voices, and the sound of eating. Percy must have brought home friends! Paul and I opened up the door to find two swords, a dagger, two spears and a bow and arrow pointed at us.
Percy was the first one to lower his weapon. "Guys, chill, it's just my mom. He looked at Paul, "and friend." Paul and I both blushed. We were engaged, not married yet. We had told Paul about the Percy's world and he seemed ok with it so Percy had deemed him worthy of me. Plus it's not like we were doing anything! Just sleeping.
I looked around the kitchen. There were 6 demi-gods, 2 girls. I smiled warmly at Annabeth, her and Percy were going to be a couple any day now! I could feel it! Next I went over and hugged Percy hard; it had been three days without any word of him. I knew vaguely where he was but still. I'm his mother! Percy hugged me back. That's what I love about my son. He's so big and tough but I know he loves me and he's not afraid to tell the world that he, a 15 year old boy, loves his mother.
Paul was kinda just standing there not know what to do with himself. Some of Percy's friends were eyeing him suspiciously. I guess they heard he was an English teacher. Percy extended his hand to Paul.
"Hey Paul, taking good care of my mom?" Paul and I blushed again
"Percy! I'm your mother! I can take care of myself!" He shrugged,
"Whatever. Anyways! These are my friends! This is Ranit, son of Apollo, Allen, son of Aphrodite, Burch, son of Demeter. And Gracie daughter of Hermes." He said gesturing to each one n turn. I smiled at them. Then I saw Gracie's leg. She was sitting on a chair with her leg propped up on another one. Her poor leg was covered in blood. She had a towel that Percy must have gotten her and she was trying to keep the blood off the floor. Some of the others had wounds to but they weren't as bad.
Ranit had a bandage poorly wrapped around his head, Butch's was limping. Annabeth was sitting cross legged on the floor brushing with her eyes closed brushing her hair, with a bandaged hand. I'm sure there were other injuries but I couldn't see them. Percy noticed me looking and gently nudged me,
"Hey, mom? Could you get some extra blankets and pillows? We're going to spend the night here and head to camp tomorrow morning. The girls can sleep in my room and us MEN will spend the night in the living room." He said 'men' like he was trying to prove a point and glared at Annabeth, who opened her eyes long enough to stick her tongue out at him. But I could tell he didn't want me in here right now.
I nodded my head a grabbed Paul's arm and dragged him out. We went into a flurry of activates to get the beds ready.
I went back to see Ranit and Percy bending over Gracie's leg. The blood was cleared but it was still bleeding. Gracie was trying to push the boys away with one hand and was shaking a can of PAM in the other. PAM? No, it was something else, I couldn't read it because she was shaking it really hard. I just went to the fridge and started making grilled cheese sandwiches. I saw they had brought food but it was all gone. Poor babies must be starving! I'm not sure where annbeth went. Oh! There she is! She must've been in the bathroom.
"Annabeth, darling. Could you watch these for a minute?" I said pointing to the sandwiches. "I need to go check something. I walked out of the kitchen and almost into a confused Paul.
"Paul, honey. Go back to bed. I can handle this. I'll be there in a few minutes." He nodded his head a walked back to our room. I followed. It was almost 3am now. I grabbed a pair of my sweat pants and a tee-shirt and some f Paul's that he had left here. Next I went to Percy's room and grabbed a few pairs of sweats and some shirts. With the clothes in hand I went back to the kitchen. Gracie was spraying the stuff on her leg now.
"Gracie, what is that?" I asked.
"Oh," she said, "Its dragon blood, centaur blood and hellhound tears."** She said it like it was the most natural thing in the world. It was hard trying to keep my cool.
"What does it do?" I asked, curious.
The centaur blood is like acid so it kills the infection, the hellhound tears fight the acid so the only thing it kills is the infection and grems. The dragon blood helps close up the wound."
"Huh… cool! Can I get some? I'm always looking for new healing stuff for when Percy comes home cut up." And cue Percy
"Mom!"
Bang on. "Oh! Before I forget! Theres some clothing for you guys to wear! Just bring the cloths that your wearing to me and I'll wash them for tomorrow." They all looked relived. The kitchen was filled with,
"Thanks Miss J!"
"Your awesome!"
"You're a life saver!"
I smiled. Sometimes it feels like I'm the mother of all demi-gods that step foot in my house. They need a mother.
