Chapter Three
The next morning in the front room Percy lay having just woken up from his nightmare he was back in Tartarus being cursed by the Aria knowing that it was because of all the monsters that he's killed and have then cursed him with their dying breathe, hoping he hadn't woken up his Aunt Melissa and cousin Scott Percy made his way down stairs. He quickly found that they were still in bed, Percy made his way back upstairs and changed into his running cloths and then headed out for a jog, he knew he should have left a note but he figures that he would be back before they got up and then starting tomorrow he would leave a note if he left the house while they were still asleep. He remembers his friend Deacon staying that he ran a vets around here so while he's jogging he starts taking in his surrounding and before long he found the very thing that he was looking for. He walked into the vets and pressed the bell that was on the front desk, before long Deacon came out from the back and without looking up said "how can I help you?"
"Well, you can start by giving your friend a hug hello" Percy said in reply.
As soon as Percy had said the word friend Deacon looked up from the ground and instantly recognised Percy and he said "Percy my man, what are you doing here."
"Well, my Mom and Paul were killed in a car accident so I've come to stay with my cousin Scott and his Mom until I finish high school" Percy said.
"Scott McCall?" Deacon asked.
Percy nodded his head before saying "Yeah, do you know him."
"He's my assistant he works here after school and on the weekend… does he know about your heritage" Deacon asked.
"No, I can't put them in more danger than they ready are, if they know who I am I won't be able to protect them" Percy replied.
"Perce, you can't tell them that I've told you this but you need to know… about six seven months ago a werewolf bit Scott turning him into one, he and the pack he's in help to protect Beacon Hill, so if a monster comes looking for you then they could be danger of trying to stop it if they think that you're just a normal human" Deacon stated.
"Thanks for telling me Deacon but I just can't tell them who I really am not if I don't have to, at the minute I'm looking forward to the next couple of months or so of not having an responsibilities, of not being responsible for people that are younger than me… I know that in a couple of years I may not be here, us demigods don't really live that long especially a demigod of the big three and I am ok with that, I just can't get my cousin and his pack involved… so can you please keep who I am a secret" Percy counted.
Deacon nodded his head.
After ten minutes went by Percy said his goodbyes to Deacon and made his way back to his Aunt, as he approaches the house he knew that his Aunt and cousin had woken up while he was go as he could hear the talking from out here, knowing that he was probably in trouble for making them worry especially what they had discovered yesterday even though it was a lie. As soon as he opens the front door he is crowed by his Aunt, the Sheriff, Scott and Stiles who all looked worried, when they realised that he was ok, he was dragged into the living and before he could say something Aunt Melissa got there first "where have you been?"
"I was out jogging, when I woke up you guys were still asleep it wasn't until I was about five miles away from the house that I realised that I had left my phone on my bed and I hadn't left a note… I didn't mean to worry you" Percy replied.
"OK but next time leave a note or take your phone, you had us so worried about you" the Sheriff said.
Percy nodded his head and then engulfed his Aunt in a huge hug.
It was about a week later that Percy got introduced to the rest of the pack as Deacon had put it, first he met Allison Scott's girlfriend and he could tell by the way that she holds herself that she is an experienced hunter and if she is a part of the pack I can only hazard a guess at what she hunts. The next person he met was Lydia who he quickly discovered that Stiles was dating her as she was wearing the exact same bracelet that Stiles was wearing, which Percy found adorable that they are wearing the same thing, it wasn't long before he met Erica, Boyd, Isaac, Danny, Ethan, Aiden and Kira. He quickly became friends with the pack and being in the know about their secret without them knowing meant that he caught the hidden looks and meaning behind some of the thing that they said. Another thing that was being clear was that something terrible was going on people were turning up dead from this like having their head cut off and being poisoned by mistletoe and wolfbane, it wasn't hard to come to the conclusion that someone was killing off the supernatural and he could tell that the pack knew more about what was going on than they let on because every time the bell went off or there was a loud noise the entire pack jumped like they were expecting something to happen.
*2 months later*
A lot had changed since Percy had come to stay at his cousin's house, Percy knew about Scott and his pack and he was friends with them all even Derek who was probably not the easiest person to get to know but still they were friends, while there had been no monsters to show up and try an kill him he knew that something was going on because for the first time in last two months Scott and his pack don't look like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders, although I don't have a clue what they were going through it looked like it had finally ended and he was glad that they were starting to look their ages again. However, today something was up he had known that the others had a free so they were going back to Scott's to study, but seeing as Stiles was the one who dropped him off at school they had all said they would come back to get him at the end of his lesson as it would mark the end of school, but two hours later they still hadn't shown up so Percy made his own way home. When he reached the house he noticed that the front door was wide open, so he reached into his pocket and pulled out his pen, he didn't uncap it just held onto it hoping to the gods that nothing had happened to his friends and family, when he reached the living room we found his friend, Aunt Melissa, the Sheriff and Deacon all sat on the sofa looking in front of them, when he followed their eyeline he found Kelli stood there and that was all he need to uncap his pen. Percy knew how this was going to go, his secret was going to be revealed and there was nothing he could do about it if he had any hope of protected his new family before he could say anything Kelli started to speak "surprised to see me Perseus."
"Isn't this getting boring for you, it's always the same Kelli what makes you think this the time that you are going to win" Percy said.
Instead of answering him Kelli attack him, he swung his sword in an arc and cut her in half before she could do anything else, as soon as she turned to dust Percy turned to the people that were sat on the sofa and asked "are you guys ok?"
"What just happened? How do you know her? What is she?" Everyone expect Deacon asked me.
Before I could say anything Deacon said "Percy, I know you said that you didn't want them to know but I think it's time that you tell them the truth... before something else comes looking for you."
"Perce, what does he mean something else? Why was that thing whatever she was after you?" Aunt Melissa asked.
"I wasn't honest with you guys when you asked about my Uncles and why they sent Grover to be my bodyguard, I know this is going to sound really crazy but I need you guys to trust me" Percy said, when everyone nodded he continued "what do you guys know about Greek Mythology?"
"Like the gods and the monsters" Isaac said.
I nodded before saying "well, the gods, the monsters all of it is true."
"Please tell us this is a joke the gods can't be real" the Sheriff said having only just come to grips with the supernatural.
"But werewolf can" Percy said.
"How do you know about werewolves" Derek asked.
"Firstly I know you, Scott, Erica, Isaac and Boyd are werewolves and secondly I know about werewolves because my uncle created the first werewolf... his name way Lycaon he was the king of Arcadia, he tried to feed Zeus human body parts it was a test of sorts, when Zeus found out he cursed Lycaon and his family in half creature, they were cursed to be werewolves forever" Percy replied.
Silence fell on the room and about ten minutes later Lydia broke the silence by saying "what are you?"
"I'm a Demigod" Percy replied.
"What's a Demigod" Erica asked.
"The Olympians get together with mortals and have children, these children are known as demigods; half mortal half god, there's a law that states that the gods can't have any contact with their offspring, its forbidden. I'm lucky though because I have actually met and had a conversation with my Dad on quite a few occasions, I was already a mistake so why not break a few more laws along the way right?" Percy answered.
"What do you mean that you're a mistake?" Scott asked.
"I'm not suppose to exist... I'm a son of Poseidon, one of the big three. At one point in time there were dozens of children of the big three but after World War II which was been a child a Hades and the children of Zeus and Poseidon, there was a prophecy stating that a child of the big three would either save or destroy the world on their 16th birthday so the three brothers swore an oath to not have any more demigod children as we are too powerful. But about 18 or so years ago Zeus fell of the wagon so to speak, he fell for an actress and had a little girl Thalia, Hades blinded with rage sent monster after monster after her, she finally reached Camp half-blood with Grover and two other friends, but she knew that they would all make it so she made her final stand there on the hill giving her friend enough time to get to safety, as she lay dying Zeus took pity on her and preserved her life energy in a tree which to this day protects the camp which is the only safe place on earth that is safe for people like me" Percy replied.
"Why would you come here then if the camp is the only safe place" Derek asked.
"Because I'm the most powerful demigod to ever exist I can handle myself and if I need anything I can call Grover who is my protector, I spent the school year at home every year, what happened to my Mom won't change that" Percy answered.
"Why did Hades care so much about Zeus breaking the oath but Poseidon didn't" Allison asked.
"Zeus wanted Hades to kill his son and daughter in 1940 they were demigods but Hades refused and put his children into hiding he was just about to put their mother into hiding when their house blow up with her still inside and he did this because he was scared of what would happen if the prophecy was to come to pass. So when he learned that Zeus had a child he was so angry that he wanted Zeus to feel the kind of pain that he felt, and My dad didn't care because by this point I had already been born" Percy answered.
"Has the prophecy come to past?" Aunt Melissa questioned.
Percy nodded but before he could say anything Deacon spoke "There are books about Percy's life I have the one's that I believe are relevant to this discussion is the third books last chapter and the last one."
Before anyone could say anything the books appeared in Percy hands so he said "I guess I will be reading first."
He read the titled of the book and opened it to the last chapter "Percy Jackson the Titans Curse chapter Twenty I Get A New Enemy For Christmas"
