AN: I was going to wait for more reviews but the I thought I might as well continue. Thank you -M.M.E for the review and to the other 13 people who have decided to read my story. Like I said before, I update in my free time. I will probably write more in the holidays because of this. If you find any mistakes in the story please tell me, it could be anything, even you wrote it instead of is or whatever. If you have any questions then ask and I will either include then in the story if it is part of the plot of PM you. Also, I decided to do it all from Emily's POV.
I woke up suddenly as Pegasus nuzzled me. I looked around and a boy and a girl. I silently cursed to myself, how could I be so stupid? Falling asleep in the middle of the woods. The CRU could have captured us already and it would be all my fault. I looked at Pegasus again before looking at the boy and the girl. His wings weren't hidden. His wings weren't hidden. I thought to myself again and again. I didn't have any excuse this time for the wings. I quickly stood up.
I looked over at them again, waiting to see how they would react. The boy had black, messy hair with sea green eyes. He was wearing an orange t-shirt that had Camp Half-Blood written on it. He was also wearing jeans and trainers and a necklace around his neck with beads on it. He was holding a pen in his hand, which was a bit strange, but then again they had found me sleeping with Pegasus, which was much weirder.
The girl had blonde hair, she looked like she was from California except her eyes. They were grey, calculating. Those eyes put me on edge. They looked like they had seen horrible things. I tore my gaze away from them. She was wearing the same Camp Half-Blood top, jeans and trainers. Her necklace had more beads on than the boys though. I wondered why. She was holding a bronze dagger in her hand.
"Who are you?" asked the boy. I shuffled nervously. I looked at Pegasus. I could use my powers and run but I didn't want to hurt them and if I did, they might tell somebody else about us. I had to become friends with them and try to get them to keep my secret. Anyway, at this point, a name couldn't do any harm. If they did tell the CRU, they would know it was us and if they didn't, then even better.
"My name is Emily. What's yours?" I asked them. The boy smiled at me reassuringly, which calmed me down a little. I put my hand on Pegasus' neck. My eyes looking back and forth between the girl and boy.
The boy answered almost immediately. "I'm Percy and this is Annabeth. So, who are your parents?"
The girl, Annabeth, started to glare at Percy. I felt like I was missing something big. Who were my parents? Why was he asking me that?
"Why does it matter?" I asked them. It didn't make any sense at all. I waited for an answer. Percy gave me a look like he thought it was obvious. I narrowed my eyes slightly.
"Well, if you are a Demi-god then it would be great if you could tell us your parent." Percy told me. Annabeth elbowed him like he broke a rule by telling me. I had been reading up on Roman Mythology for a while and I knew that Demi-gods were the children of gods when they had children with mortals. I looked over at Pegasus. Demi-gods couldn't be around today, not unless the gods had gone out with mortals the few times they came. Considering they weren't supposed to come to the mortal world, I wondered why they thought I was a Demi-god.
"Are you a Demi-god?" I asked. It should've been impossible. Percy looked 16 at least. Since the gods first came back to the mortal world 6 years ago after thousands of years of staying in Olympus, a 16 year old Demi-god wasn't possible.
"Yep. My dad's Poseidon, or Neptune in Roman form. He's the god of the seas." My eyes widened. Neptune, as in the god who acted like a grandfather to me, broke the rules and came to Earth to have a child and never told anybody. I wondered how Jupiter didn't notice, he should have felt Neptune using the Solar Stream. Percy didn't seem to notice my surprise, or maybe he was used to it, because he continued. "Annabeth's mother is Athena, or Minerva, the goddess of battle strategies and wisdom."
I looked over at Pegasus. I didn't care how stupid they thought I was but I needed to talk to him. "Why didn't Jupiter notice?" I asked him.
Pegasus shook his head, which I assumed meant No idea Emily. Percy looked straight at Pegasus and asked him, "What's your name?"
I looked at him like he was crazy, Pegasus was probably doing the same thing. Percy continued to look at Pegasus like he expected him to give an answer he would understand. Pegasus and I looked at each other and I guess he decided a crazy son of Neptune might as well be given an answer, even though he wouldn't understand it. Pegasus neighed something which probably meant I'm called Pegasus. Percy nodded and I was slightly creeped out.
Riza, I thought, waiting for Riza to stir.
Hello child. She paused a moment. This is very odd. I will watch and try to figure it out. Child, you must remember to stay calm. You can not lose your temper now.
I nodded before realizing these people didn't know bout Riza. I must look crazy. Then I remembered Percy nodding. That was crazier than a slight nod.
"Can you understand him?" I asked Percy. He was a son of Neptune, somehow. Maybe it meant he could talk to Pegasus like Neptune. Percy nodded again.
"So, are you named after the original Pegasus?" He asked. I hoped that Pegasus didn't take that as an insult. I could feel his anger so I decided I had to say something before they insulted him even more.
"He is the original." I told them. I wondered if they knew more Pegasi. Maybe the CRU had given them some. I shook my head. Those Pegasi were untamable and would bite anybodies hand off, except me. Annabeth was thinking hard.
"Well, they made it past the border." She mumbled to herself, then louder she said, "Let's go to Chiron."
I looked at Pegasus. Chiron was here? Maybe we could ask him why he wasn't on Olympus. We followed Percy and Annabeth out of the woods.
