Quick note: I have not read past The Lost Hero so this is from the end of The Last Olympian. Whatever Percabeth that's happened, didn't happen in this universe/story. I love them, but this is not that kind of story and if you're expecting that to happen, sorry, it's not going to.
And guys, please do me a favor. If you don't like Percy/OC, don't read this. It will be a Percy/OC and no amount of "Percabeth 4ever" is going to change this story, my story. It's aggravating when I go to look at the reviews and that's what I see. Sorry for being bitchy, but also not sorry cause it's just rude.
Okay, back to the story. Enjoy. :)
Chapter 4:
"Close your mouth dear. You don't want birds to fly in do you?" My mouth snapped shut almost instantaneously.
"You…are my mother? How can that be?" I asked confused.
"It's quite simple actually. See, a couple years ago, Zeus, my husband, cheated on me and bore a child with another woman. I was extremely angered about this so I decided to create a child on my own, without another partner. I noticed a woman and a man who were trying to have another child, but failing, thus putting great strain on their marriage. Now, me being the goddess of marriage, I couldn't let that happen. One night while the woman was sleeping, I blessed her and gave her an egg. But this was not just any egg. It was one of my very own special fertilized eggs. The child she would give birth to would be a very special child, my child. When the time was right, I would find you and we would reunite once more. I knew that it would take some time for your power to mature to the point where creatures would attack, but I did not expect it to take seventeen years."
"What powers?" Hera came closer to me and stroked the top of my head.
"My sweet little girl, you will acquire one power of each of the twelve Olympian gods. When you master all of these powers, you will get a choice as to whether you want to remain half human or become a full god, like I. Being your mother and all, I would love for you to join me on Mount Olympus, but it will be your choice and your choice only." Suddenly a horrifically loud noise rumbled through the skies.
"Oh dear, it seems that your father was listening to our conversation. I must go but I will be back soon. Goodbye my sweet daughter." She kissed my forehead and walked away but she stopped.
"You may want to look away dear. If you watch a god transform into their true form, you will be vaporized and we don't want that now, do we?" I turned away but I could see the light from her departure.
As soon as she was gone, I fell to my knees. Hera…is my mother? How…why? What did she mean by 'I will acquire my powers over time' then she said 'my father'. Was she referring to Zeus? Her eggs? I don't see how that is possible.
"Last call campers. Harpies will be sent out in ten minutes to collect the children who are not in their cabins." I loud voice boomed. I slowly got up and walked to the cabins.
"What happened?" Percy asked walking with me. My eyes were still wide and my mouth silently stuttered as I tried to find the right thing to say. Tears started to swell in my eyes as I remained catatonic.
"What happened?" He said standing in front of me with a hand on each shoulder, preventing me from continuing to my cabin. I felt a warm liquid run down my cheeks. He caressed my face and wiped away the tears with his thumb. I looked him in the eyes and he immediately pulled me into a hug.
"Hey, Peter Johnson, Lassie McAdams, no PDA." Mr. D said, attempting to break us apart. I quickly turned my head and glared at him. Suddenly, lightning came out of the sky and barely missed the fat old god.
"You little brat! How dare you attack me?" He shouted. Grapevines appeared out of the ground, separating a stunned Percy and me. A vine wrapped around each of my hands and pulled me down to the ground.
"You are dead you little monster." I smiled evilly as I grasped the vines that were holding me down. With a little tug, they ripped out of the ground.
"Oh really?"
"What the…" he said confused. To tell you the truth, I was pretty confused too. I wouldn't have been doing this. I wasn't doing this. The power I had over my body had almost completely dissolved. It was like someone else was in control.
I raised my hand and the vine extended towards Mr. D. It wrapped around his body and with a gentle flick of the wrist, he was thrown into the Hephaestus cabin. I felt my legs moving my body closer to the supposed to be wounded god.
"Cassandra, let him go!" Chiron called me out of my trance. Almost instantaneously, the vines dropped from my hands and disappeared into the ground.
"What is wrong with you?" Percy asked walking to me. I honestly didn't know.
"I…I…" The world started to spin as two Percys came running to me. I fell to the hard ground and hit my head, knocking me unconscious.
When I woke up, Percy, Mr. D, Chiron, Travis and a few other campers hovered above me.
"She's awake. Everybody back up. Give the girl some space to breathe!" Travis said as soon as he saw my eyes open.
"Can you stand up?" Chiron asked.
"I think so." Gods, my head hurts so bad.
"She won't be able to in a minute." Mr. D grunted under his breath. Chiron shot him a look as he ordered Percy and Travis to help me up. As they did, I got lightheaded again.
"Whoa take it easy. Here, let me help." Travis knocked me off my feet and held me bridal-style. I clung to him tight as I closed my eyes. I could feel a glare from Percy while it bore into my back.
"Bring her to the infirmary. We'll talk with her there." Chiron said to Travis. Within a few seconds, we were walking away from the stunned group of campers.
"What happened back there?" Travis asked as he carried me.
"I…I don't know. Something just, clicked and I lost control." I felt the tears threatening to escape.
"Hey, I didn't mean to…I'm sure it's not that big of a deal." He said trying to comfort me before the nurse cut in.
"What happened here?"
"She hit her head ma'am. I think she has a concussion and she's bleeding."
"Oh, well. Place her on the empty cot." He walked over to the corner and gently laid me down.
"You can go now. I know what I'm doing." She said to him sweetly. He hesitated as he stroked the hair out of my face.
"Do you want me to stay?"
"I'm okay. Go." I smiled up at him, reassuring him that I was okay.
"Alright, but if you need me, ask someone to come and get me." He kissed my forehead and left.
About two hours later, she released me but told me to take it easy for a day or two. I left with a few stitches in the back of my head and a killer headache. I stumbled around, getting various glares from people, until I made it to the Big House to apologize to Mr. D before he curses my ass into oblivion.
Reaching for the door, I though of what I should say.
Hey, I'm sorry for giving a taste of your own medicine.
No, that won't work.
I'm sure it's not your fault that you're such an asshole.
Damnit. I'm screwed.
Opening the door and walking inside, I heard people fighting.
"…evil child! I won't let her get away with this! She's going to have grapevines growing out of her butt by the time I'm done with her."
"Please calm down. She has gone through a lot in just a few days. Please show her some mercy."
"I don't care! That gives her no right to…"
"Now you know what she's capable of Dionysus, cursing her will just make matters worse." Mr. D let out an angry huff of breath.
"Fine, but if she pulls a stunt like that ever again, I will tie her down with vines and drown her in wine and other unmentionable liquids."
"Fair enough." Fair enough? I sheepishly turned the corner to face the wrath of the evil grape god.
"Cassandra, I didn't expect to see you up for another day or two." Chiron said to me.
"Or at least we'd hoped so." Mr. D said.
"I'm so sorry about…"
"Save it. I could care less." Mr. D lifted his hand and waved me off.
"Okay…Well, I guess I'll see you two later. Bye!" I said slowly walking out of the Big House.
"Not so fast. You need to see the Oracle." Chiron said stopping me.
"Ugh. Fine…" He quirked an eyebrow and gave me one of those excuse-me-missy looks parents usually give you.
"I mean, of course. Where is she?" I pretended to perk up.
"She's in the attic." I gulped.
"Cause that's not creepy at all…" I mumbled to myself as I turned to the stairs, ready to face whatever was waiting for me.
