~~CHAPTER TWO~~

-9 Years Later -

It was exactly nine years after I had visited Anna, and I hadn't seen her since. I know, Father of The Year over here. I wasn't getting that award.
The closest we had gotten to meeting again was the time I saw a letter for her in Hermes' mailbag.

If you tell anyone, I'll deny it; I can't have people thinking I'm soft. But I missed my kid.

I was frustrated that every other god could keep a close eye on their children, even if it was from a distance. But on Olympus, I was virtually useless. Any attempt of communication was monitored by Zeus, god of lightning, drama, and jerks. Maybe my brain is full of seaweed, but I'm smart enough to guess that my brother would be an even worse uncle then I was father.

Otherwise, life on Olympus ran smoothly. I fought with Athena, daily. I endured Ares. The twins bickered. Demeter complained about Hades stealing her sweet little Kore. Hera accused Zeus of Cheating. Dionysus complained about the demigods. Everything was normal. (Well, as normal as life can be for a Greek God.)

And I know what you're thinking. 'Just get to it, we know that something ended up disrupting your life. Otherwise, this chapter wouldn't be here.' I'm not as theatrical as Zeus, so I'll just cut to the chase.

I was waltzing around the Olympian garden, avoiding my duties, when the almighty King himself reared his ugly mug.

"Poseidon," he roared. "You have sired a human child! You have gone against your oath!"

I froze. My breath sped up, but I forced myself to stay as stoic as possible. Lying isn't my style, but I would do almost anything to help my poor daughter, whom I had already doomed by taking part in her making.

"Do you have proof?" I raised an eyebrow. It was perfect. Not revealing that I had broken my promise, but not saying that I did either.

"Your son," Zeus trembled in fury "sensed a presence near him. When he traveled to the land, he was met with the sight of a demigod girl sitting near a campfire with her mother. He reported to me immediately." Zeus paused to suck in some air. "HOW DARE YOU?!"

I briefly closed my eyes in exasperation. Of course Triton would rat his sister out. The existence of his human siblings were proof of my betrayal to Amphitrite. I would have to take him aside and have a few words later. Well, it might have been violence too, if he had gotten Alexia killed.

"She will be murdered." My trident was at Zeus' throat withing 5 seconds. A low snarl ripped its way up my vocal cords and tore through my bared teeth.

"You will have a hell of a war on your hands if you even threaten once more, Thunder butt." The insult slipped off my tongue. I was too angry to even enjoy the repulsed and offended look on my brother's face. All I saw was the slight fear in his eyes. I knew he was aware that bringing a full-fledged war upon himself wasn't the best idea for the Western Civilization. Zeus slumped his shoulders and broke our eye contact. Sensing the threat was gone, I lowered my trident.

Thunder butt straightened his pinstriped suit all superior like, as if he hadn't just been owned. "If you will object to her demise, then there is a condition of which we can negotiate. However," his eyes flashed like lightning "you must not interfere. There are no other options then execution."

I nodded to show I was listening.

"We will set up a one way Iris Message in order to watch her. The council will meet to observe her life and decisions. But, if she is turning to the dark side, or making wrong choices, we will kill her."

My mind was at war. On the bright side, I could watch my precious Alexia all her without having to be secretive. I could give her signs when she was about to get herself into trouble. On the bad side, however, she might make a couple bad turns. And most god and goddesses among the council weren't for second chances. What other choice did I have though? Her death?

"Fine. We will begin tomorrow," I called over my shoulder, trying to seem indifferent. "And Zeus?" He glanced up with cold, expressionless eyes. "I'll be watching you, too."

I rounded the corner and marched up to the throne room. Things were about to get interesting around her.

A.N/ Hey guys,

I'm planning on uploading the next chapter later tonight. Oh, and this other girl on Fanfiction was writing a story similar to this one but she discontinued it, so I decided that I'd take her Poseidon idea, and change the rest. I OWN ALEXANDRIA JACKSON! FOR PICTURES: GO TO MY PROFILE! :) FAV, FOLLOW, AND REVIEW!
