Percy's P.O.V

My new little set up camp was pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. Currently I was sleeping in a barn. Yeah I know someone will see you.

Just chill.

It was abandoned, at least it seemed to be I mean the paint had all worn of there were holes in the walls, which a horse could fit in and apparently an eighteen year old demi-god and the house had obviously burnt down as there were charred remains.

In the barn there were two levels the first overlooked the bottom floor, it was the place teenagers would go to get drunk the gang tags, empty beer cans gave that away.

Anyway someone had recently been here because under a stack of hey, that was easily the same height as me was cans of soda and beer. I didn't take the beer I was sure I wouldn't want to get drunk or tipsy just in case I ran into trouble so I grabbed the soda's, I hadn't eaten anything sugary in ages. I knew it was safe to drink because for one it was in a can and two my water powers helped me out a bit.

Continuing my search for more goodies, especially food. I hadn't eaten in two days so I was pretty hungry, all I could find was three dead rats and some kind of pigeon but to be honest I wasn't sure what it was.

I checked my bag turning it inside out looking for money, there was a diner up the road, I had passed it on my way here, and hopefully I could get some food.

Finding nothing I decided to walk up anyway I grabbed my stuff just in case someone showed up and went through my bag finding a home made blade and my other weapons they would probably alert the authorities or keep them both of which I didn't want.

I ran down the abandoned street my hunger reaching a new climax. God's I could eat anything, except maybe that pigeon thing, I have to admit though, the rats were sounding good now.

I knew the dinner was coming up the smell of grease filled the air. I could probably do a runner. The old' dine and dash.

I walked into the dinner, the woman at the counter had rich brown eyes and black hair spotted with grey, she wore an apron speckled with dirt and grease that kind of turned me off the food but hey I was starving, under the apron she wore a green singlet top and a denim skirt. She smiled at me as I entered, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

I looked around for an empty booth and found they were all empty except the one in the corner were a younger looking woman sat. I could have sworn they were related. In fact this all seemed suspicious; my stomach grumbled loudly causing both the women to look towards me. I looked back apologetically smiling at them both. Maybe I was just paranoid.

I walked over towards the opposite booth and sat down; I grabbed a menu and scanned looking for the cheapest thing. It took me what seemed like twenty minutes to read the first line. Stupid dyslexia.

"Looks like you have had a rough day?" I looked up at the woman in front of me and smiled.

I looked down at my shirt I had once been white but know was almost black it had tears in it from a run in with an empousa. Not a fun experience. My jeans had grass stains covering them and had rips as well.

I could only imagine what my face looked like and my hair which was now long enough for me to tie it. I didn't like it long but you try walking into a hair dresser with no money and asking them to cut off your hair. Would not go well and I would never be able to do it I would probably end up chopping my ear off.

I looked back up at the woman and smiled back running my hand through my hair. Her breathing hitched for a moment before composing herself.

"Yeah it's been an eventful couple of months." I chuckled at my inside joke. She smiled back at me unsure of what to do.

"What can I get for you today?" She finally said after a moment, she pulled out a small notepad from her apron pocket and a pen from behind her ear. To be honest I hadn't even looked at the menu properly or decided what I wanted so I ordered the first thing that came to mind.

"Umm, just a cheeseburger. Thanks."

"What no cereal." The girl in the corner coughed, choking on her drink. A normal person would think what a coincidence or something but for a demi-god or especially me you know things like that aren't coincidental. The waitress and the girl shared looks with each other. Okay something didn't seem right.

"Oh, No thanks." I looked back at the waitress from the corner of my eye, something was defiantly not right.

"Alright then won't be to long then." She smiled and walked off behind the counter. I looked around the Dinner again trying to shake my suspicion, until finally it was gone. Only to be replaced by my hunger. This annoyed me.

After around ten minutes the woman returned with my meal, no joke ten minutes it was insane even for me, she smiled and winked before moving back behind the counter. She sat behind watching me expectantly.

Hopefully they didn't know I was going to run away after my meal, without paying. At the moment I didn't need angry waitresses chasing me with frying pans.

I looked over at the young woman in her seat she was doing the same. I looked at my burger, my mouth watering. I felt a tug in the pit of my stomach. Annabeth had called it my spidey sense. It did get me out of danger most of the time.

I looked at the menu again realizing I didn't know the name of the Dinner. Pretty stupid right I haven't eaten in two days, a mouth watering burger is placed in front of me and I look at the dinner menu for the name of the place. Maybe I was just paranoid.

Once again it took me a couple of minutes to make out what the writing said. The Gardner's Dinner. Gardner. My mind flashed to Katie Gardner, girlfriend of Travis Stoll, one of my friends at camp and the daughter of Demeter. Wait.

The daughter of Demeter.

I froze.

Crap I was caught out.

I grabbed a chip and pretended to eat it while dropping it into my lap. I looked up her eyes were no longer watching me her body turned facing the kitchen. I looked into the corner and the girl was looking down with a smile on her face. While reading a newspaper

There was something in the food. I knew I wasn't insane.

I grabbed my bag quietly while pretending to eat my chips, while keeping an eye on both the women, hunching my legs ready to take my leap over the table.

One.

Two.

Three.

I grabbed my bag and jumped over the table tops. One of my legs was caught in some kind of long grass. I grabbed riptide and tried slashing my way out, while other strands of grass and vines tried to whirl themselves around my legs, slicing the grass and vines I continued running and leaping over the grass of doom towards my freedom.

I was less than a metre from the door before the grass wrapped around my wrists causing riptide to fall to the ground. I kept pulling the grass trying to release my hands from the vice like grip. While more wound themselves around my ankles and my waist travelling around my body.

I could feel both the women's presence's behind me. I hung my head in defeat. For the second time I had been caught. Hopefully I could get out of this but. I mean I got out of the last one. Surely I could get out of this.

"See if you married a man like Perseus, I wouldn't be so angry or depressed. And I think the sea would be better than the underworld." Ahh so the other woman was obviously Persephone.

I had both Demeter and Persephone; surely they would be easier to escape from then Artemis and Apollo.

"Yes mother but if I married Perseus I think I would be on the hit list of many if not all the goddesses including you, probably even a few gods." I tried to fight the blush running to my cheeks. I thanked Zeus they could not see my face. As you could probably tell I couldn't keep the blush from attacking my cheeks.

"Fine if you don't want him daughter then I will have him, who knows maybe you might have a younger brother or sister." Okay I really needed to get out of here I started to thrash about again trying to loosen the grip again sadly it wasn't working, instead the grass grew tighter.

All of a sudden after finally noticing me perhaps I don't know but the grass started to twirl me around until I was facing both of them. Both sharing the same amused grin, probably laughing at how stupid I was for running into the trap, I couldn't help the fact I was hungry.

"Aunt Demeter, Persephone." I greeted acting as if nothing had happened, and hoping that the aunt thing would turn her off. Demeter just frowned.

"Please just call me Demeter." She smiled up at me, almost as if she knew what I was playing at. There went that plan.

"So" I said breaking the awkward silence. "What was in the burger?"

"Oh a sleeping potion created by Hecate with the help of Hypnos of course, extra strong brew. In fact you should be asleep now. But of course you didn't eat the food. You're not as stupid as you seem." okay the last thing she said hurt. I wasn't that stupid. Was I?

"There is no way you can get out of this not with two of us." Demeter smiled evilly, which was actually quite frightening.

"I'm sure that's what lady Artemis and Lord Apollo thought." I smirked at her collecting my bravery, or stupidity I wasn't really sure.

"Yeah they both left you alone; we are not going to do that." They had a point there.

"Perseus why did you run, being one of us couldn't be that bad." Persephone had finally spoken. I hadn't really thought about that.

"I guess because there was no choice it was forced upon me and well I want to live life and get married..." I looked over at Demeter who smiled with a glint in her eyes that made me nervous. "... and have children..." they both looked hopeful, I gulped before finishing licking my suddenly dry lips "... with the woman of my choice." The hope was still there but it had dimmed which scared the crap out of me. They were desperate.

Not going to lie I was kind of flattered but the scared side of me over ruled the flattered side.

"Persephone get help, we can't bring him to Olympus by ourselves." Dam I was so screwed that it actually seemed pretty funny.

Persephone left for the kitchen probably to Iris message someone. Demeter continued to stare at me with an amused grin on her face.

And oh boy was it awkward.

I wriggled my hands to try and get comfortable. It wasn't working. I hung their uncomfortably with a goddess eyeing me. At the moment I wish I had eaten one of those rats, Hades I would have preferred eating the pigeon then go through this.

This was going to be a long night.

Thanks for reading

Percy is in trouble... again.

I noticed there were like no Percy/Demeter fictions and she is hardly mentioned so I decided to add her with Persephone of course.

I hope you enjoyed it please review they make my day!
