AN
Since I already had written this chapter I have put it up this fast. The next updated will take time
Time skip 6 months
It had been 6 months since Dave and Garry had arrived, me and Dave have become close friends and had been on 2 quests together nothing too major but still tough and Dave seems really skilled and powerful, while on the other hand Harry's hatred towards me only seems to increase. Dave has been on quite a lot of quests and seemed to be doing superb in them. He has gained quite a lot of fame for himself and some people say that he better than me too. I have absolutely no problem with it, I never really liked all the attention. I'm happy as long as I have my friends with me. Sadly Annabeth seems to be having a lot of work lately and gets to spend little time with me, but the time we spend together is magical according to her but to me it doesn't seem as magical it does to her I miss our time together when she wasn't overloaded with work but if her work makes her happy I'm ok with it. I mean it was her childhood dream to design something that will last forever and I won't come in between that. So since Annabeth is around a lot I go around trying to find demigods and bring them to camp or if it is a abused girl who seems to be afraid of men then I take her to the hunters of Artemis. What I find weird is that there are some new demigods that don't seem to like me at all, I'm not talking about the ones I brought to camp but some others. It's like I have done something to them.
Right now I'm in middle of bringing another demigod I haven't meet her yet, I'm on my way over there. The address wasn't very far so I reached there quite fast. It was an apartment on the 2nd floor. When I reached the door I knocked and waited for a reply. The door opened revealing a man that reminded me of smelly Gabe. I said, "Sir I'm here to meet your child if you would be kind enough to let me in."
He glared at me. "She isn't home at the moment you may come in latter" he said closing the door on my face. I stood there wondering what the he'll happened when I heard a scream, it wasn't very loud due to door being close but it was there I was quite sure of it and I knew who it belonged to. I quickly knocked on the door again and as it began to open I pushed it hard and barged in and saw a beat up 9 gear old girl. She had freah wounds on her legs her blonde hair was all tangled and had blood on it and. My blood began to boil at the scene, I quickly said, "Go and hide little girl. Fast! hide now!" She seemed to be smart enough to know that she should just listen and hide. By the time I had said that smelly Gabe 2 had recovered from his nose being hit and looked up at me and said, "Get out of my house now, this is none of your concern."
When he said that I got even more angry if possible and I started beating him up. When I was done with him he had a few broken ribs, all his limbs had broken bones and a very beat up face that I didn't recognise anymore. I then realised that I bad told the little girl to hide so it was now my job to play hide and seek. "Hey little girl! where are you? You can come out now, that man won't hurt you anymore."
"Now he won't but you will." Came back the reply.
I was actually hurt she thought I would hurt her, but it told me just about how much she must have endured. "No I won't, I promise you that I won't hurt you. I was sent here by your parent to get you."
"No you are lying my mom left when I was born and my dad died when I was 5 so I know you are lying."
"Yes your mom did leave you when you were born but it wasn't because she didn't love you. You see, your mom is a very special person but she wasn't allowed to be a part of your life but she still loves you a lot you know. Come out here and I'll explain everything." I said in a very soothing voice.
She peaked out from behind the sofa and asked again, "You will really not hurt me and are sent by my mom?" I smiled and replied, "Yes my dear." She comes out from hiding and thanks me. I say it's no problem.
"We should get out of here before some one comes in and sees that man. Come lets go I'll explain things to you on the way." She nods and starts walking right behind me.
Once we are out I start to explain, "Now what I'm going to tell you may sound a bit insane but it is all true ok" she nods at this and I continue, "I am sure you must have heard of greak gods so-"
She cuts me of "like Zeus Hades and everyone?"
"Yes like those people. You see they are still alive and kicking. They live above the Empire state building on Olympus. You see your mom is a goddess so that's why she had to leave. There are ancient laws that don't allow gods to interfere with their children's life. So she was forced to leave you. You like me are a demigod, half god half human."
She cuts me of again saying "So you are telling me I have awesome superpowers?" she looks at me grinning.
Wow she is taking this a lot better than I did "Well that depends on who your godly parent is, if it's Athena you will be super smart, if it is Hermes you will be stealthy, prankster, good at robbing things stuff like that. Being a demigod is not all that nice you know. Just as there are gods there are monsters too, these monsters like to eat us demigods so our life is full of danger if we roam out here in the open. There is only 1 safe places for us camp half blood (I didnt want to confuse her even more with Roman demigods and stuff) and there is one more if you are a girl, the hunters of camp half blood you will live with children of almost all ages boys and girls alike " She looked kinda depressed when I said boys so I'm guessing, new recruit for the hunters "or with the hunters, they are bunch of man hating girls who live with the goddess Artemis and can die only in battle. In other words partial immortality so you won't age too. So which one do you want to go to? It's your choice wait I forgot to ask you what you name?" I ask rubbing the back of my neck.
"Oh my names Lillian what is yours?"
"That a nice name Lillian, mines Percy Jackson. So what's your choice Lillian?"
"Well what choice do I have I'll go to camp. I don't want to hate you. You save my life from that man."
Wow she is a really nice person, she would put up with men and boys just so she doesn't have to hate me. A smile crept up my face and I said, "You don't have to hate me if you join the hunters, I have a cousin there and she doesn't hate me So you wouldn't have to hate me either."
She smiles and says " So can I join the hunters of Artemis?"
"I'll message them and we shall ask them." I created some mist using my powers and threw a drachma and said, "Oh Fleecy do me a solid and show me Thalia Grace in the hunters camp" the mist simmered and in front of us was Thalia practising archery "Hey Thals"
She jumped at the sound of my voice and turned around "Oh Percy it's just you, so wassup Perce"
"I got you a potential hunter here do you think Artemis will take her in. She despises boys except me apparently and she has gone through the same thing I did before I knew about the Greek world."
"I'm sure Artemis wouldn't mind." We chatted for a bit and I got their location. It was kind of far from here but we could reach there tomorrow afternoon and the hunters were camping there for more two days so we were in luck. I quickly told Lillian about it and she seemed genuinely happy about it and this brought a smile to my face.
We headed to the train station brought 2 tickets for us and boarded the train. Once we got settled I started explaining to her how the hunt works. Thalia had told me about it. She seemed to be excited at the idea of hunting monsters and having a new family. I then told her about smelly Gabe and she seemed shocked at first but the she just hugged me for a few seconds, she agreed to not tell anyone about it. I dont know why I told her that but there was something about her that made me trust her. We talked for some time and then Lillian fell asleep. The two of seemed to really connect and I was starting to see her as a little sister that I needed to take care of. We got of the train at evening and since we didn't have enough money to stay in a motel or anything we decided to camp in the woods. It's a good thing I got the tent aunt Hestia had given me, it was quite awesome to be honest. It would mask our demigod scent when we were inside it so we didn't have to worry about getting attacked, there was unlimited amount of food in there as you could summon about any homemade food. I quickly set up tent and ushered Lillian inside. Once we got settled and were ready to eat I asked "So Lil what's your favourite food?"
"Macaroni and cheese" I clapped my hand and it appeared out of thin air. She was just starring at me in awe "I knew about your water powers cause you healed me using water I didn't know you could make food appear out of thin air."
"I can't that's the tents magic. It was a gift from aunt Hestia. The tent also masks our demigod scent so we don't have to worry about getting attacked by monsters. Now come on eat up it for you" she gave me quick peck on the cheeks and started eating. I summoned blue pancakes and blue coke for me and started digging in. When I looked up I saw Lil starring at me like I was crazy "What blue is my favourite colour and my mom used to make me blue pancakes and stuff so now I mostly eat blue food, it amazing." She just nodded and got back to eating and so did I. After eating I showed her a few moves with my sword and then it was time to go to bed. I let her sleep on the makeshift bed I got with the tent while I slept on the ground. As soon as I closed my eyes I entered the realm of Morpheus.
LINE BREAK MORNING
When I got up in the morning I felt someone sleeping beside me in my embrace, as I opened my eyes I was greeted to sleeping Lillian. I kissed her forehead and started to get up to get ready when Lilian woke up and looked at me. When she did that she had a scared expression on her face "I'm sorry don't hurt me"
I frowned "Why would I hurt you Lil?" I asked.
She seemed to relax a bit at this and said "I thought you didn't like that I slept with you and so would hit me."
I started laughing at this "I told you Lil I will never hurt you. You have become like a little sister to me in the past day if it is even possible, but I have come to really care about you and you don't ever need to worry about me hurting you all right."
She was grinning when I said this and then suddenly seemed to become sad, "Your lying aren't you why would you want a week person like me to be your sister?"
I snapped, "Stop this crap Lil! You are not week heck you are even stronger than me I had my mom when I had to go through all that, you did it on your own. Never ever say you are week cause you are not, got it!"
She smiled and nodded. She then surprised me by hugging me tightly and saying "Thank you big brother!" As she said that a huge smile spread on my face. I always wanted a little sister and now I have one, this is so exciting! We stayed hugging each other for a few seconds then I asked her "Why did you come down and sleep with me?"
She smiled shyly and said "I felt safe with you I was kind of afraid this was all just a dream so I slept with you. If you are still there that means this is real not a dream."
I smiled at her answer. We quickly ate breakfast and headed for the hunters camp. On the way Lillian had asked me if she could age till like 12 or something and then stop aging cause she doesn't want to be stuck as a 10 year old. I told her I didn't know and that she would have to ask Artemis about it. It was around 12 : 30 when we neared their camp. I quickly IMed Thalia and informed her we were reaching in about 5 minutes and not to shoot us. Hey nobody likes to be riddled with arrows don't judge me.
When we reached their camp every hunter was pointing their bow at us. Lillian quickly got behind me as I called out "Thalia" quite loudly. When she got there she ordered "Its ok hunters lower your bows he has somewhat of an appointment he has brought us a new recruit." The hunters reluctantly lowered their bows and I brought Lillian ahead of me. "Phoebe take her to milady Artemis' tent. I'm going to be catching up with my cousin." Thalia said.
"Sure Thalia. Come lets go sister" phoebe called out to Lillian. Before the left I said "Don't forget to ask Lady Artemis what you asked me okay Lil?" she noded and followed Phoebe to Artemis' tent. For the next 5 minutes me and Thalia caught up on things and she shocked me a few times too. Suddenly I was tackled into a hug from behind by a very excited Lillian. "Look big brother they gave me a bow to kill monsters."
I ruffled her hair and said "keep that away from me if you don't wanna die, I'm terrible at archery. I have even managed to shoot a person behind me once when Chiron was teaching me." At this every hunter including Artemis started laughing .
"Perseus we are heading to camp half blood as I have some business to attend to at Olympus. I was just called in by Zeus and this might take some time so I will teleport you all to camp border, and thank you for bringing Lillian to me she has great potential." Artemis said
wow a goddess is thanking me that too a man hating goddess. "The pleasure was all mine Lady Artemis I had quite a lot of fun too, and thank you for the ride to camp." She told us all to catch hands and I was stuck between Thals and Lil as no one else would hold my hand. She snapped her fingers and I felt a tug at my stomach and the next moment we were at camp borders. "So Thals it looks like you get to meet you new bro today. You excited?" I asked her
"No, I really hate having a brother, you know the whole man hating business I'm in now." She replies sarcastically
"No need to be so sarcastic Thals I'll lead the way. Come on Lil you too I won't be getting much time to spend with you now.
Just as we entered camp the symbol of Demeter was hovering above Lillian's head. She got scared and tried to swat it away like Leo had. Chiron suddenly our of nowhere asked "what's your name child?"
I replied for her as she was too busy swatting away her moms symbol "Her names Lillian."
"All hail Lillian daughter of Demeter goddess of harvest and agriculture." All of us bowed to her as the symbol started to fade away. Lillian quickly ran to me asking what it was and I started laughing. She started punching me "Stop laughing and tell me what it was meanie."
I stopped laughing and said "That was your mother claiming you. Your mums name is Demeter she is the goddess of harvest and agriculture. I'll take you to Katie later she is the head council or of Demeter cabin she will teach you your powers. Come lets go meet Thalia's new brother now." With that we headed to Zeus cabin.
