Chapter 2
Iggy P.O.V
I wish I could've seen the look on Max's face when Alex scared her. Actually, there are a lot of things I wish I could've seen. Like the countless explosions I caused. Or what Alex looks like. I mean, she lets me see but she refuses to let me look at her… I don't get it.
As I was pondering what is wrong with Alex someone flies up next tome so our wings are slightly toughing. The endless black faded and I gasped. This place as beautiful, I've never seen anything like it. Even though that's not saying much…
"Isn't it beautiful?" I could actually hear the smile in her voice. I turn my head to look at her, but before I could see anything she folded her wings away from me and my world went black.
I could hear Iggy growl as I disconnected his vision. Why did he wantto see meso bad. I have the power of invisibility for a reason. If I could help it no one would ever be able to see me again.
I looked back over at Iggy and shuddered. I began flying ahead. I could hear Iggy tailing me. But it was only Iggy, I knew max could catch me easy, but she knew I wanted to be alone, and by now she could tell where we were going now. I felt Iggy's wings graze mine again. So I pulled ahead, not daring to let him touch me again.
I should've paid attention. I should've done a lot of things different... I shouldn't have looked back at Iggy's anger filled eyes, because before I could do a double take I was tumbling to the ground with and unfamiliar boy underneath me.
Percy P.O.V
I should have moved, I should've gone for help. I should have done anything other than stare. Well I guess you would have stared too if a girl was flying right at you using her wings!
Once she hit me we went tumbling back into Athena's cabin I guess out of instinct she curled her wings around us shielding from the falling books.
I timidly looked down at the girl. Her dark, almost black, brown eyes looked at me apologetically.
Then she looked at my eyes and gasped, "Your Percy! Percy Jackson! We need your help!"
I rubbed at my eyes, being flown into by a bird kid takes a lot out of you, "My, help?"
The girl nodded quietly. It was pretty quiet for a while, that is, however, until my ADHD took over. Somewhat intentionally I began fiddling with her silver feathers.
She flushed slightly noticing they were still in a ball in the Athena cabin. Lucky, the Athena cabin dwellers were out right now. I smiled then got off of her.
"So you know my name, what's yours?" I asked her.
"M-my n-name? I'm Alexandra. B-but please c-call me Alex." Alex stuttered.
"Alex? Are you o.k?"
Alex's POV
"Alex? Are you o.k?" An oh too familiar voice cried.
"GO AWAY!" I yelled at him. What is his problem? If I wanted him to see me I would let him! Isn't the saying, 'All comes to those who wait.'
"No," He growled.
"She said go away, I suggest you listen," Percy spat.
Percy was handsome. He had medium length brown hair, with stunning green eyes. I couldn't help myself, "You have pretty eyes." That caught every one off guard, causing me to giggle.
"Alex, are you o.k? Compliments aren't really your forte'." Iggy replied, seeming somewhat concerned.
"You know what Iggy? Sometimes I just wish you'd die!" As soon as the word left my mouth the cabin began to shake, the cabin became noticeably darker. Then, out of nowhere, a swirl of mist darker than the midnight sky slowly inched up from the ground that now has a giant gash in it and began rapping itself around me.
My widened in horror as I was being incased in this evil mist, "W-what's h-happening?"
"It can't be… I should have known, only Demigods are allowed in the camp borders," Percy replied slightly shell shocked.
"What the hell? Speak English much?" Iggy stole the words right out of my mouth.
"I have to get you to Chiron." Percy replied. With that the rest of the flock came barreling in through the door.
"The horse guy?" I asked, knowing a little bit too much about Geek mythology.
Percy chuckled, "The horse guy?"
"You know, the one who trains all the heroes in the Greek myths!" Kira cut in, sharing in my fascination with Greek myths.
"Who are you guys?" Percy asked, getting more confused by the minute.
Max stepped forward, taking the leadership and speaking, out of my hands. She quickly went through the rundown. Percy nodded with slight understanding.
"What do you mean only half-bloods can enter the camp?" Angel asked in response to Percy's unspoken thought.
Percy stared at the little girl wide eyed until he remembered that Max said something about a little mind reader.
Getting slightly bored I sat down and began fiddling with some small wires and metals, barely hearing what Gazzy had to say. "What's a half blood?"
Percy's POV
I was watching Alex fiddling with something in the corner, so I barely caught the question asked by the kid named Gazzy, "What's a Half-blood?"
Before I could respond I was cut off by the slightly bored voice of Alex, "Half-blood: son and or daughter of a human parent and a Greek god. So they literally have half blood, half human, half god."
She has yet to surprise me with her knowledge of Greek mythology, "That's right… How do you know?"
She stayed quiet, the remnants of the mist still shown in her eyes. I'd seen it once before, the eyes so black. Now that I look around I notice that Fang, for sure, is her brother. Another mistake, just like me, two mistakes by the same god.
Then I looked even more closely at everyone else. They were all sons and daughters of a Greek god, but who? There were so many to choose from.
"Earth to Percy! If we are 'Demi-gods' who are our parents?" Max screamed.
"Um, ok… Gazzy and Angel, I'm not so sure. You are kind of a jack of a lot of traits, so I'd say a minor god." I said while looking down and the siblings.
Then I looked over at Iggy, "Hmmm, you Iggy, your mischievous smile, I'd say son of Hermes."
"What about me! I don't know much about gods but everyone else has a parents now… So I'd like one too… Ya' know? I don't want to be left out." Nudge cried out to me.
"Nudge, you are unnaturally beautiful, and you can talk forever… I have to say Aphrodite." I answered while ignoring her blushing.
I looked over to Max and Kira, "Ok, Max and Kira… I don't know can you do anything special?"
"Well I have these visions, but I don't know what they have to do with anything," Kira answered sounding ditzy. I could tell it was strange by the looks she was getting.
Alex let out an exasperated sigh before answering, "Ok, I know your blonde and all and I respect that, but you're an idiot. Those visions you have, have to do with everything! The only god having to do with the future and prophesies… Apollo!"
I cleared my throat, "y-yes, that's correct… Ok, now is Alex and Fang, Your black hair, your dark eyes, and your olive skin. I think your father is…"
Alex looked up at me and growled, "Don't you dare say it!"
Fang looked surprised, "You don't want to know who our father is?"
"No! Because I already know! It's obvious! The reason we can blend into shadows. Don't you get it. The god who is always labeled 'evil' and 'the bad guy'. And we are his mistakes!" Alex cried.
I looked down at Alex who was now glaring at her brother. "If you are a mistake than so am I."
She looked at me genuinely shocked. I knelt down next to her and gave her an awkward hug. "My father is Poseidon, I am a mistake too." Alex was now sobbing, "But even the biggest mistakes are worth something."
Even if those were the right words to say they were at the wrong time. Alex seemed to erupt with masked emotions from gods know how long ago. I positioned her on my lap so her sobs were muffled by my shirt.
Then I did something I didn't know I knew how to do. I cradled her in my arms, whispering words of comfort into her hair. After a while of listening to her heart breaking cries, she drifted to sleep.
"What happened to her?" Fang asked while he helped me carry her to my cabin to rest.
"I'm not sure; it was like an emotion over load." I replied. Fang nodded silently as I tucked her into my bed.
"Maybe with her, erm, mutation, she thought herself already a mistake and the thought of being the daughter of a god sent her over bored." I added.
Fang looked at Alex quietly, looking for the right words, "Please, tell me who our father is. Even if she knows, I would like to know too."
I looked over at Alex. Her face distorted with fear. A nightmare, she looked as though she was having a nightmare. I walked over to her and placed my hand on her cheek and sighed, "Hades, the god of the dead."
