Anyway welcome to No Chance, hope you enjoy this one, if not my bad
Thankyou for all of the reviews for No Choice I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Guess what the beginning of this story was the original to No Choice, luckily I still had it on my laptop so I could use it, so if you spot any things that make you go WTF then chill I probably didn't re-read it properly.
I in no way own PJatO or HoO
For once she was glad the meeting finished early, she was meeting someone tonight, he was only young but had alot of potential 23 years old and top of all of his classes, he had told her he wanted to be a pediatritian, and look after kids like his little brother. She admired him. he would be a perfect father for a perfect intelectual child.
After a month of seeing him, he decided to introduce her to his friends, being the goddess of wisdom, she of course knew it would be best to see him act around his friends before she decided anything.
Sipping her coffee she looked around the room and into a corner where a mother was playing with her child. The baby girl giggled, lighting up both the mother's and Athena's faces lit up. The mum silently moved down covering her eyes, causing the baby to stop giggling for a moment, before the mother would dramatically remove her hands from her face, causing the baby to giggle some more.
Removing her eyes from the woman she checked her watch. He was always late, he only just had classes though.
She checked her watch again listining to the sounds of delight comming from the child. She had always wanted to sit somewhere with one of her children, she felt envious of mortals who were allowed to be with their children and help them.
The door opened and the sound of the bell rang, before she could acknowledge the door,there was a tap on her shoulder, she looked up to see a tall blonde with brown eyes he smiled down at her, she of course smiled back.
"Hey Anna, this is Josh and Mitchell." He pointed to the two men beside him, standing up she shook both their hands, one boy was short and slim, he had brown hair and startling blue eyes, the man next to him was a tall and plump looking, he was obviously Jake's twin brother as he had the same eyes and hair, the only difference between them was the weight.
"Sorry to keep you waiting but Perce just had to see his boss." He pointed to the counter where a tall man with jet black hair stood.
"It's okay Jake, I understand." One by one they each took there seats except for the short one, Mitchell.
"Nice meeting you Anna. See ya guys." He walked away towards the barrista counter where he opened the side door and walked in taking off his jacket and replacing it with an apron.
"So Josh, what is it you want to do?"
"Well I would like to go into acting, I reckon that would be fun." Clearly she had picked the better twin. Nodding her head enthusiastically she turned around and started playing with her coffee. Listning to the two twins argue, which they were worse than Artemis and Apollo.
The bickering stopped causing the goddess to look up. "Anna this is Perce." She looked up towards the young man, his sea green orbs seemed lost in confusion. Shaking his head softly he smiled. All sense of the confusion gone, his bright teeth shone as the light reflected off him. He obviously had no idea who she was, that didn't mean she didn't know who he was. The man who saved Olympus twice. Who had been missing for three years. She shook his hand calmly a plan formulating in her mind.
After their intoductions the twins left to get their coffees. Percy simply leaned in closer to the goddess his eyebrows scrunching up in confusion. "Do I know you?" he sounded worried like part of him knew the answer, and to be honest part of him did, he had hoped she didn't recognise him.
Athena smiled. "I know who you are Perseus and i know you know who I am." Leaning back against his chair he smiled.
"So Lady Athena how is Annabeth?" he asked taking a sip off his coffee.
"She's fine, engaged to a nice man." A choking sound was heard, she looked up to see the boy coughing up his coffee.
"She's engaged?"
"I believe I said that."
"Wow!" was all he replied siping his coffee.
"I see you have changed." He smiled playfully and chuckled stroking his five O'Clock shadow.
"Yeah, apparently the ladies love it so, yeah." She wouldn't admit this to anyone but he did look quit handsome and ruggered. It was silent for a moment, she noticed his hands fidget on the table.
"How's my dad?" his voice was soft and he looked up through his hair.
She was a little shocked he didn't ask about Artemis. She had heard rumors about the two of them having a fling.
"Fish breath is fine. Although he misses his son." She smiled internally, his fatal flaw was personal Loyalty, and after his mother's unfrotunate incident Posiedon was the only family he had left, he would insist on seeing him thus causing him to be captured and sitting across from her would be the new God they had envisioned.
"I miss him." he muttered playing with his mug refusing to look into her eyes.
"Then why did you run?"
"Because I was forced into this." He looked towards the queue, where his friends were all smiling and laughing. "He's a good guy, please don't drag him into this world." He looked back towards the goddess.
Athena controlled her rage at the man, he was telling her what to do, a son of Poseidon.
"I'm the goddess of wisdom, I know what I am doing." She looked up towards the boy who had a dumbfound look on his face.
"Well, what do you know I've finished my coffee and here come Jake and Josh, which means you can't follow me without seeming rude, which means you can't take me back there and forcefully change me. What a Shame." He grinned goofily at the goddess who looked like she had been hit over the head with a Hydra, before jumping out of his seat and running towards the door.
A son of Poseidon had just outsmarted her, never had she seen the day. But she always had a plan, and this plan was so simple that it would have to work.
The twins both sat down Josh eyeing the door suspiciously, Jake looking at the goddess with confusion.
"Where did Perce go?" Jake asked holding onto his cup barely looking the goddess in the eyes.
"he said he forgot something." She answered her eyes still looking out towards the door where the young demigod had left.
"He didn't say what?" Josh looked back towards the duo. He was answered with a blank stare causing him to abrubtly spin back around towards the door.
"So how long have you known Perseus?"
"Uhh close to three years, we use to work together at the zoo, he still works there full time, he has this strange way with the zebras and the marine life, almost like he can talk to them, strange isn't it?" Jake said taking another sip from his coffee.
"Yeah it is a little strange." She replied still eyeing the door.
Percy rushed out of the store his mind racing. He knew they would find him sooner or later. It was a mistake for him to stay in one place too long.
He pushed past a group of girls who grunted in annoyance. But he didn't care, he had lost it all.
He ran back to his apartment, packing his clothes in a small bag, he would have flashed there but turns out gods can track you when you do that, plus it was starting to weaken him.
He cursed silently as he yanked his bag on his back, getting his secret stash of money and a few bags of nuts and dried fruits, he was more prepared this time, for that he was grateful.
By the time he had compacted everything into his bag he was off.
His feet thumped across the ground as he raced down the stairs. He wasn't going anywhere near the forest this time, he was sure Artemis would do more things to him than drag him back up to Olympus.
He passed the land ladies door, he was careful to be silent near her door, it wasn't the first time he had tried to get out of the building without her noticing, he did it everyday, she apparently had a crush on him and she could be quite... agressive when she didn't get something she wanted. In a way she reminded him of an uglier, older, smellier Aphrodite.
Getting past the devil door as he liked to call it, he raced from the building, heading for the train station.
He knew he wouldn't go back to New York, not after what happened to his mother.
His chest tightned at the thought of his mother, it was his fault.
He shouldn't have gone to see her.
Then they wouldn't have come.
They wouldn't have killed her right in front of him.
He felt tears pool in the corner of his eyes. He had two groups wanting him. Gaea and the Titans and the gods. Both for the same yet completly different reasons.
Gaea and Kronos were interested in him because of the power he possesed, apparently he was more powerful than the gods, how they knew he didn't know, but they had told him, the day he visited his mother and Paul, the day they murdered them.
They had said this was apart of their plan, that they had someone on the inside, who I had no idea, but the thought that one of the gods I knew so well was a fraud.
If it was even one of the gods.
Honestly it could have been anyone.
Percy pushed forth arriving at the train station within a few minutes, panting slightly he asked for a 'one-way ticket to anywhere but here' the elderly man simply smiled and threw him a ticket.
"Father." Athena greeted Zeus in his temple.
"Daughter." Zeus greeted in return, smirking at Athena as he spun around. "What can I do for you?"
"I've found him."
Only a short one but i hoped you enjoyed it, if not once again sorry.
