CHAPTER TITLE: Oh, Persephone.
PERSEPHONE: played by Raffey Cassidy.
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! A quick reminder, when Percy turns into Persephone, he will become more feminine, so he will not be a boy in a girls body. I'll try keep to the books while changing it at the same time, something I suck at. Most of this story should be in Third Person, because I feel that I can include more then what's in first person. Here's the third chapter!

THIRD PERSON POV
The following months after Mrs Dodds became Miss Kerr, Chiron and Grover kept a close eye on Persy. "Maybe she isn't as powerful as you thought if she has managed to get affected by the mist" Chiron had told Grover one night. It was that night that Persy began to plan, plan big.
She figured, if I'm doing this twice, I'm gonna get good grades. So for once, she studied. As she studied, she thought on the sudden twist her life had taken. No longer was she Perseus Achilles Jackson, Hero of Olympus, Defender of Half-Bloods, she was now Persephone Anastasiya Jackson, the girl who was given a second chance.
Now, THAT was a twist if she ever saw one. For some reason, unknown to her, her thoughts trailed over to her third biggest enemy, Gaia and Kronos being first and second, Luke Castellan. For some reason, her stomach fluttered and her heart pounded at the thought of him as a pink blush settled over her pale-ish skin. Enemy or not, she had to admit, Luke was quite good looking.
"What the hell is wrong with you Persephone?" She asked herself angrily. She shot up and ran over to her iPhone. Yes, she knew she wasn't supposed to have one, but she had managed to convince Sally to get her one.
"Hello." A sleepy voice answered Persy's frantic ring. "Mum, we need to talk. ASAP" Persy said simply. "Ok, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Love you. Bye" "Love ya too, bye." Persy hung up before flopping back onto the bed, her mind buzzing with questions.
••—••—••
To say Sally was worried when Persy called her would be an understatement. She had gotten up at 8:30, gazed in disgust at her so-called husband, gotten dressed and rushed over to Yancy, stealing Gabe's car for the day. Don't worry, she left him six plates of pancakes and muffins. Sally signed Persy out for the day and drove to the local ice cream store.
"Alright, dear, what's wrong?" Sally finally asked as the two walked down the beach, licking their ice creams. "Well, last night I was thinking about someone I know in the future and I started getting butterflies. Why?" Sally almost laughed, Persy had her first crush, how cute. "Oh, darling, there's nothing to worry about. You just have a crush." Persy's head snapped up. "What?" A crush on Luke?! What the Hades is wrong with her? "Hmmm. Yep most definitely a crush." Dam it! (AN: DAM! Say DAM in the reviews if you get this!) Well, now that she thinks about it, Luke is kinda hot… GO AWAY APHRODITE!
••—••—••
That night Persy spent laying on her bed, going over her mother's word. Did she have a crush? But she's a guy! Well, was a guy. What was it The Fates said, "you will begin getting feminine traits"? Something like that. Persy guessed that this was the first stage.
What if I get my period? She thought with horror. She had seen what girls acted like on their time of the months, she had stayed with Piper, Annabeth and Hazel for about… Nine months? She couldn't remember.
Get some sleep, Persy. You have a big day of exams tomorrow a sweet voice echoed inside her head. It was lulling. Now that the voice mentions it, Persy was kinda sleepy.
••—••—••
Persy walked out of the Latin room after handing her exam and Julius Cesar essay to Mr Brunner. She was getting expelled and she knew it. She knew she aced all those tests, the teachers will call her cheat, take away the marks and she'll get all E's.
CALLED IT! She thought when she got a note saying she was expelled after the holidays. Persy walked with Grover to the Greyhound, the duo taking seats at the front.
"So, Grover. Whatcha doin' this holidays?" Grover looked around nervously. Persy didn't ask this time, instead she said, "you have nothing to worry about Grover. There's no monsters here." To anyone listening in, it might sound like she was talking about bullies, but Persy and Grover knew different. "W-what?" Persy held herself from rolling her eyes. She was too used to Lord-of-the-Wild-Grover, scared-wimpy-Grover kinda annoyed her.
The bus filling with smoke and a rotting smell cut Persy from answering. Why do the Fates need me now? She asked herself mentally, getting off the bus with Grover. Glancing around, Persy soon spotted the three, Clotho knitting, Atropos cutting and Lachesis staring at that paper of hers, at a fruit stand.
"Hey, Grover, I'm gonna go buy some fruit." Ignoring Grover's protests, Persy crossed the street. "Lady Clotho, Lady Atropos, Lady Lachesis." Persy greeted, bowing slightly at the three. "Ahh, Persephone. Just who we needed to see." Lachesis greeted, looking up. "As you already know, Luke Castellan will die. But he will be revived this time." Atropos said, cutting Luke's cord then tying them back together. "Atropos! That's not why we're here!" Clotho scolded, lightly whacking Atropos. "Persephone. We have decided something. We are going to wipe everything male from you." Lachesis said bluntly.
"Lachesis!" Clotho whacked her next. "Persephone, come here. We are wiping everything male, as Lachesis said, including your mother's memories of you. She will believe you were always female. Only you will have any memory of being male." With that said Clotho reached forward and her fingertips brushed Persy's forehead. "There it is done. Goodbye Persephone. Here, have an apple." Persy took the apple from Clotho in shock and walked back towards a frozen Grover.
"Hey, Grover. I'm kinda cold, let's go inside."

AN: What do you think? Let me know in the reviews! I know that Percy did love Annabeth, but I don't remember him feeling anything like butterflies when he thought about her. I don't even know if boys do get stuff like that when they like someone. I'm female if you couldn't tell. I do have one brother, Growl, but he hates me sooo… Sorry for the mention of a girls time of the month, but I know, if I were male and got turned female, I'd fear that.
