Thanks for my reviews, oh yeah and I'm Australian so I spell some things differently and also I'm on school holidays so I may post chapters up quickly, because I'm bored. I don't like short Chapter's so I will try and push out at least a thousand words per Chapter. Because short Chapter are annoying.
Goddess of Revenge: I was thinking of putting Percy and Chaos together but I think I may just put it as like a mutual respect and crush for each other but it may not show up until the end of the story.
Anyway here is the Second chapter. Enjoy and review, because they make my day.
"Liam, aim for its mouth." Xavier screamed over shouts of mortals who were trying to get away.
I don't know what they were seeing but I heard a little girl scream out something like 'mummy look at the giant aardvark' which even for me was just weird.
The drakon slithered around shooting streams of acid out of its mouth just missing a few mortals, but hitting an unfortunate doughnut shop.
"Dam I wanted a doughnut when this was over." Anna muttered dodging a stream of Venom.
"Yeah only problem with that is every time its mouth opens it spews out acid." Liam grunted, as he readied his spear. Half of his armour was beginning to melt off and the other half was singed from the other drakon. Which spewed fire and was easier to take out compared to this one.
"Hey prissy." I looked towards Liam, naturally he was a son of Ares and well I was starting to think that all Ares kids just saw me and immediately though Prissy.
"Don't call me that, meathead." I caught a glimpse of Liam's face and red like a tomato does not cover it, I jumped over the drakon's tail as it swished towards me. Liam just ducked underneath the tail and jumped up with ease and grace that I wish I had. Especially for a kid his size.
"Whatever kid, just try not to get too jealous when I take down this drakon." He grinned madly at me and ran to the front of the Drakon. The idiot was about to get himself killed.
"Liam not yet!" but it was too late the drakon's attention turned to Liam. It almost seemed like the drakon was smiling. But its mouth opened, slowly the sound of the acid flowing to the front of its mouth.
Liam had a determined look on his face as he held his spear. It was almost in slow motion. Liam threw his spear but the drakon moved out of the way as the spear went flying barely missing Anna who sliced the spear in half, with one of her arrows, which was amazingly awesome, as the shattered pieces fly around her.
I had to help him. I didn't even realise I was running towards the drakon's head or Liam until I heard Xavier Screaming at me telling me to stop.
Next thing you know lil' old impulsive seaweed brain Percy aka me was standing in front of Liam. I stood there stunned watching the stream of acid flying towards me at an almost impossible pace.
Suddenly I felt everything slow, I could hear Xavier telling me to run, Anna screaming and firing a volley of arrows towards the drakon and I could sense Liam behind me cowering and also trying to push me out of the way. I was about to be hit with drakon acidic venom. Which I assumed had some part of liquid in it.
It clicked I felt the liquid particles in the venom, I felt like it was a part of me like an extra arm or a leg. I forced my eyes shut as I concentrated, I didn't know if it would work, but from the collective gasps, I guess it did work.
Slowly I opened my eyes, what I saw shocked me in between me and the drakon was a wall of green venom. The drakon looked at me with confusion. I smirked back; it did something I didn't expect a giant lizard would do. It glared at me and did something I expected... shot more venom out, strengthening my wall and weakening the drakon.
It looked at me with a quizzical glance and opened its mouth again. I prayed to every god I could think of, including Ares.
Pushing my arms out I felt the venom flow straight towards the drakon and into its throat.
The drakon looked at me its eyes bulging; it made a loud but quick groan and collapsed to the ground exploding in a shower of gold dust.
"Well we learnt one thing today." Xavier walked up to us smiling and looking at me with wonder.
"What that Liam is an idiot." Anna smiled at Liam as he shot her a dirty.
"No that drakon's can't handle a taste of their own medicine. We already learnt that Liam is an idiot." Xavier smiled patting Liam on the head affectionately.
"I hate you guys." Liam muttered looking down at the floor.
"No you don't, you love us." Anna smiled at Liam, before walking to the van.
Liam blushed at the comment causing Xavier and I to snicker. I was all too obvious that they liked each other, the constant bickering and flirting, was well intense sometimes.
It kind of reminded me of Annabeth and I. Wow. I must have been a seaweed brain not to tell that she was flirting with me half the time or that I was flirting with her. We were still going out when I was kidnapped, like two years ago. Part of me wanted her to move on and be happy but another part of me wishes she hasn't.
Sounds crazy, right?
We reached the van which was a simple white van, like the ones we had at Camp Half-Blood except instead of Delphi Strawberry Service it was the more glamorous Olympia Home of Divine cheeses.
"We seriously need a new undercover name." I muttered shaking my head as Anna slid open the door.
"I Tried that once, trust me tell that to Chaos and she will have you eat cheese for breakfast lunch and dinner every day for a month." Anna shuddered at the memory as we started handing her bags.
Anna was a daughter of Apollo and was one of the only girl's to receive Artemis' blessing and not be in the hunters.
"Was that in the 30's or the 50's?" Xavier asked trying to rack his brain.
"Neither, the 20's." She answered shuddering.
"Now I remember, after we gave you the exact same warning, you just gave Percy." Xavier smiled passing up the bags muttering things like 'good times'.
"And what warning were we talking about?" I should have been freaked out by this but, to be honest it was a kind of ritual that she would just pop up after our missions. Probably to check if we're all alive.
"The time Anna asked you to change the name of the van." Liam mentioned lifting himself onto the van.
"Ahh yes, the summer of cheese." Chaos smiled as if remembering the memory. "Those were good times." Chaos chuckled.
Anna simply stood there with a white face. "I can't look at cheese the same way again." We all laughed at Anna's misfortune. While she hunched over dry retching.
"So how did it go, my favourite little team." She punched my arm for affect, and well it hurt. I mean I was always fit and could take a few hits every now and then, especially after two years of intense training and missions, but this was Chaos the first being. I doubt anything could be as strong as her.
"Pretty good, we took down the first Hydra with ease thanks to Jackson's son of Poseidon water powers, and same with the second one." Xavier finished punching me in the arm, playfully. His punch didn't hurt as much which for me was lucky.
Chaos eyed me for a bit her eyebrows scrunched up in though.
"Well done my little Champion." She nudged my arm again. Yeah I received Chaos' blessing enhancing my endurance and my senses, I was her Champion, on Earth anyway.
When someone was to challenge Chaos, I would be the one to fight in her place because of the ancient rules. Luckily for me no one had challenged her.
"Not to alarm anyone but, there is a man over there, and well he doesn't feel like a monster or a mortal, and he keeps staring, it's kind of creepy." Anna was facing us but her eyes were pointing upwards, making her look possessed.
I tried to feel around me using my senses, and she was right, the presence was godly. We all looked towards Chaos waiting for our orders. She stared at the presence; she looked as if she was having a conversation with the presence just with her eyes. They would soften and then blaze with a fire.
I had seen the fire blaze way too often, like that one time I flooded her quarters which was by accident of course I was trying to learn a new move, which would have taken a lot of energy out of me if I didn't have Chaos' blessing.
But when I nearly drowned one of her best teams she just smiled at me and continued on her way. It was weird. And erned me the nickname 'teacher's pet'.
Eventually she sighed and walked towards the presence. Naturally we all turned around. Chaos slowly walked towards the figure her body shaking.
The man stood there with a large trench coat and a hat covering his face. I wasn't sure who he was but I had a large desire to please him.
Chaos and the guy stood there talking, both looked as if they were trying to prove a point. Finally Chaos walked away with a disgruntled look on her face.
I continued to look at the man, something told me that I should know him, he stared back at me, before tipping his hat and well I'm not 100 per cent sure but I'm pretty sure he smiled at me.
"Percy."I turned back towards Chaos; she stood with her hand folded across her not meeting my eyes, like a child who didn't get something their own way. "You have proved yourself well over these two years and before I decide if you stay with us or continue your life as a mortal I know there are some people you would like to see again. So when we get back to base pack some of your stuff and we will send you to your mother's house, you can decide what you want to do from there."
I smiled at the mention of my mum I mean I had been snatched away two years ago and I'm pretty sure everyone thought I was dead, but I knew my mum wasn't, I had seen her on my last mission to New York, she was buying groceries with Paul.
It took all my might not to run into her arms and start to cry.
"But Percy I will give you three months, before I make my decision. Clear." She eyed me again from the corner of her eye.
"Crystal." I smiled at her, while who I assumed was Liam wolf whistled. He was silenced when he was attacked by giant mosquitoes.
We poofed up right outside my mum's apartment, I felt my heart pumping, my body was shaking from both nerves and adrenaline. Chaos stood beside me watching my every move.
"Three months, remember that." Chaos murmured bringing my attention to her I peeled my eyes away from the door.
"Three months isn't long enough." I answered bringing my attention towards the door again.
"Three months is long enough for the fates." I turned back to ask what the Hades she was on about, but like the pouty child she can be she disappeared.
"Thanks for the answers" I muttered stepping closer to the door.
I knocked while trying to control my shaking, which was about as easy as holding the world. Listening to the things happening in the apartment. I could hear the TV on and feet shuffling towards the door.
"I'm coming" I smiled as the door opened. Revealing my mother in her pyjamas.
"Hey mum, I'm home." I felt tears about to overflow.
She looked at me as if I had grown an extra head. Her eyes welled up with tears.
"Who is it Sal?" In the distance someone called out, I knew who it was immediately. Paul.
Mum just stood there tears slowly fell down her cheeks.
"Sally, who is it?" Paul appeared in the doorway, his face frozen, he was also staring a t me as if I had two heads.
"Hey Paul, how's it going?" I smiled at Paul, whose eyes rolled to the back of his head and his whole body collapsed with a thud.
Mum was caught between concern for her husband and well concern for her mental health upon seeing me.
"You're alive." I smiled genuinely at her and opened my arms wrapping them around her.
"Of course I am mum." I let go of her and she smiled.
She jumped as if she had just remembered Paul lying on the floor. Bending over him, she propped his head up.
"I'm just going to get some water." She stood up smiled at me again and ran to the kitchen. Leaving me alone with my unconscious step dad and the front door wide open, which I'm pretty sure didn't look good. I could almost see the headlines. 'Teen attacks man in his pyjamas.' This would show an unflattering picture of me standing over Paul.
I shut the door quickly before any of the neighbours could see, and picked Paul up Bridal style, while I looked for a place to put him.
I stood in the hall way for Hades knows how long, until my mum entered the room with a jug of water, she jumped and with her free hand grasped her chest, "I wasn't expecting you to be there." she muttered.
Then she noticed me struggling with Paul, her eyes widened. "Put him on the couch."
She followed me towards the living room shouting things like.
'Watch the flowers'
'be careful.'
And 'watch his head'.
I placed him as gently as I could on the couch, catching him with my knees when he rolled over the edge.
She splashed the water on Paul's face; he groaned and rolled his head.
"He never was a morning person, he is almost as worse as you." She let out a nervous laugh, and started to lightly smack Paul's cheeks.
"God Percy you haven't changed a bit, except your hair is shorter and well the muscles but I suppose that's regulation with Chaos and the muscles from all of your training I'm guessing." Paul looked me over examining me. While mum was getting her freshly baked cookies out of the oven.
The smell made me feel like I was in one of those cartoons where the person floats towards the smell. It was that good.
"Yeah the training was pretty intense, and the hair is easier to look after when in battle and after receiving Chaos' blessing I became immortal, unless I die in battle."
"Makes sense." Paul muttered resting his head on his hand.
Mum walked into the room with a plate full of blue chocolate chip cookies, steam wafted off the cookies, which made me love life all the more.
"Wow mum, I think I should come home more often." She gave me a look that said don't-even-think-about-doing-that-again. I raised my hands in a surrendering motion.
"Or not."
