Percy's POV

I looked around once again to take in all the scenery. I'm back here again a 12 year old, who knows what's about to happen for the next 6-7 years of his own life because one of his past enemies sought revenge but wasn't powerful enough to do something simple. Man, my life is so fucked up.

I suddenly god an insane headache, my brain feeling like it lost a lot of blood. I immediately clutched my head in pain, swaying back and forth from dizziness and trying to keep myself balanced. Memories came rushing into my head, memories of my mother, Gabe, and others I forgot about when I was a kid. They all felt new to me, like some just happened, my mind felt refreshed and full of knowledge at that point. I discreetly put my hand in the fountain water, trying to fight off the dizziness that almost overwhelmed me.

I shot a glace at Grover and he was looking at me, concerned. I could tell he was about to say something but a piece of peanut butter and ketchup sandwich came flying between us.

Almost on instinct, my mind thought of what I was supposed to say at that moment. I'm going to kill her. It sounded mumbled, so that's exactly how I said it. "I'm going to kill her." I almost choked on how my voice sounded. It sounded insignificant and squeaky.

Grover at the time was completely ignoring Nancy and her crew of dimwits. I was trying my hardest to act angry. I suppose I would be doing alot of acting lately. Grover being his usual peace-loving self, was trying to calm me down. "It's okay, I like peanut butter." But it wasn't exactly calming me down any. I was getting a little mad now, I knew what was gonna happen but I couldn't help but feel the need to protect Grover.

He dodged another piece of the sandwich. "That's it" I was already getting up to go yell in her face, but Grover pulled me back down by the back of my shirt.

"You're already on probation. You know who'll get blamed if anything happens." He scolded. I scoffed but didn't do anything out of line. Didn't want mortal police on my ass. I got a fresh memory in my head of my headmaster threatening in-school suspension if anything happened on this trip.

Mr. Brunner AKA Chiron led us through the museum on his motorized wheelchair. While he was explaining this I was in my own world, drifting in and out of listening to the explanations, still trying to think of how this was happening. I could feel a stare on the back of my head, I took a quick peek and saw Mrs. Dodds AKA Alecto, studying me, as if I was dinner to her. Which I probably was.

I heard Nancy snicker something to her friends about the naked guy on the stele we were talking about. I turned to sneer at her and said, "Will you shut up?" I tried to keep it down but of course it came out louder than expected, exactly like last time. People around us starting laughing and Chiron stopped his story.

"Mr. Jackson, do you have a comment?" He asked.

I could feel my face heating up from embarrassment as I quickly mumbled out a, "No, sir."

Taking advantage of the situation, Chiron pointed to a carving on the stele and asked, "Perhaps you'll tell us what this picture represents?"

I looked at the picture for a while, faking trying to figure out what it was. ""That's Kronos eating his kids, right?" I asked him.

Chiron didn't look satisfied but still pursued his question, "Yes. He did this because..." He trailed off, expecting me to finish off the sentence.

I knew my answer was sort of wrong at parts, but I still went with what my brain told me to say. "Well...Kronos was the king god, and-" I didn't get to finish because he cut me off.

"God?" He asked.

"Titan." I corrected myself. "And … he didn't trust his kids, who were the gods. So, um, Kronos ate them, right? But his wife hid baby Zeus, and gave Kronos a rock to eat instead. And later, when Zeus grew up, he tricked his dad, Kronos, into barfing up his brothers and sisters-" "Ewww" "-and so there was this big fight between the gods and the Titans," I continued, "and the gods won"

Some people around the group snickered, but I had no idea why, I got the question right. Behind me I could hear Nancy mumble to a friend, "Like we're going to use this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain why Kronos ate his kids.'"

"And why, Mr. Jackson," Chiron said, "to paraphrase Miss Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?"

"Busted" Muttered Grover.

"Shut up." Nancy hissed, her face bright red.

I had to act like I was completely clueless, which made me smirk internally. "I don't know, sir." I said while shrugging my shoulders to emphasize the point.

Chiron looked disappointed, besides being a demi-god, I really don't know how I could use that kind of information in real life. "I see."Chiron said, "Well, half credit, Mr. Jackson. Zeus did indeed feed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which made him disgorge his other five children, who, of course, being immortal gods, had been living and growing up completely undigested in the Titan's stomach. The gods defeated their father, sliced him to pieces with his own scythe, and scattered his remains in Tartarus, the darkest part of the Underworld. On that happy note, it's time for lunch. Mrs. Dodds, would you lead us back outside?"

The class drifted outside with the girls looking a little green and the guys pushing eachother around for a bit of fun. I was about to follow Grover outside but stopped when Chiron called out, "Mr. Jackson."

I quickly told Grover to go on ahead. I turned to look at Chiron with a quizzical glance, "Sir?" I asked.

"You must learn to answer my question," Chiron told me.

"About the Titans?"

"About real life, and how your studies apply to it."

I didn't know what else to say there except an, "Oh."

"What you learn from me," Chiron said, "is vitally important. I expect you to treat it as such. I will accept only the best from you, Percy Jackson."

Chiron always expected the best from his students, and I knew that from personal experience. From both the mortal side of things, and the Greek. Even though he knew I was a demi-god who had dyslexia, he pushed me to try harder. It made me mad a bit. I muttered something about trying harder under my breath and quickly went outside. The storm seemed to be churning. Nobody else seemed to notice though. Some guys were throwing things around at some birds, while the girls were in close huddled groups talking to eachother, sometimes taking a peek at other people around.

I saw Grover sitting at some other fountain away from the others so I decided to go and sit with him. The first thing he asked me when I got there, like he was expecting it was, "Detention?"

I quickly shook my head, "Nah, not from C-, ahem, Mr. Brunner. He usually lets me off the if I did anything bad. Which I didn't." I caught myself before I could say Chiron. Grover looked at me weirdly for a second. I thought he was gonna accuse me of something from the way he was staring but he just asked, "Can I have your apple?" I handed to him, not having much of and appetite.

I watched as the colony of yellow cabs go down Fifth Avenue. The though of my mom and our apartment came into my mind. I'd have to go back to the trashy apartment and Gabe for an hour in a couple of months. I missed my mother in the real world. I wonder how she's handling everything. I could go back and greet her now. See how young she looks, even though she'd just send me back here until my time came to get kicked out.

I took a look at Chiron and saw that he parked his motorized wheelchair at the base of the handicapped ramp. He was eating a piece of celery and reading some paperback novel, with words I couldn't make out. A small red umbrella stood up from the wheelchair making him look like a motorized cafe table.

I was broken out of my musing when a firey red-haired brat took place in front of me. Nancy gave me an evil sneer, then proceeded to dumb her half eaten lunch on Grover's lap.

"Oops" She gave me a crooked teethed grin. I was getting mad at her now. A memory appeared of Nancy getting pulled in the fountain by water. I smirked at her and thought of the water grabbing her. A pull in my stomach alerted me of using my powers. I saw the water reach up a bit and pull her in. I made it shake her around a bit to mess with her.

That took alot out of me, I was almost sweating. I forgot I hadn't trained with my powers. Next thing I know she's sitting on her butt in the fountain screaming, "Percy pushed me!" Mrs. Dodds, I'm pretty sure, materialized next to us, giving me the evil eye. Some of the kids that were paying attention to the situation were all staring wide-eyed at us.

Some even whispering things like, "Did you see-"
"-the water-"
"-like it grabber her-"

As soon as Mrs. Dodds was done making sure Nancy was fine, she turned to me slowly with this mad glint in her eyes. "Now, honey-"

"I know." I said, "A month erasing workbooks."

She immediately turned more evil, if that's possible. "Come with me." She said.

Grover tried to cover for me. "Wait!" he squeaked, "It was me. I pushed her."

I didn't want him to get in the trouble I was in with Alecto so I stopped him from trying, "Don't Grover." I said, "Thanks for trying though."

"But-"

"You-will-stay-here." Mrs. Dodds said. End of conversation. "Honey," She barked, "Now."

We quickly made our way to a secluded place. We were in a gallery, and we were surrounded by the Greek gods. All the statues seemed to be looking intently at us. Alecto looked around at some of the gods and gave them the evil eye, like wanting to pulverize each of them. She put her nose up a bit and stated, "You've been giving us problems, honey."

I just went with the safe, "Yes, ma'am."

"Did you really think you would get away with it?" I stayed quiet. She started playing with the cuffs on her leather jacket. "We are not fools, Percy Jackson, It was only a matter of time before we found you out. Confess, and you will suffer less pain." I stayed quiet once again. "Well?"

"Ma'am, I don't..."

"You're time is up." She hissed.

Her eyes started to glow a little. Her fingers stretched, turning into talons. The jacket on her back stretched and melted into huge leathery wings. She opened her mouth and rows of yellow, sharp fangs filled her jaws.

I looked toward the entrance of the gallery where Chiron now occupied, holding a pen in his hand. Riptide. "What ho, Percy!" I felt the air around me change and I sidestepped a pair of talons, gracing my ear. I snatched Riptide out of the air and the instant it hit my hand it started to change into the sword I know and love. I gave him a, "Thanks, Chiron!" To make him lose his head a little. I chuckled inside my head at the expression he wore when exiting.

Alecto turned towards me with a murderous look in her eyes. "Die, honey!" She snarled. She flew at me admirable speed. I took a step back just a smudge so her swipe wouldn't hit me, and swung at the same time. The blade made contact with her shoulder and went through her like paper. With a satisfying hisssss, she blew up into yellow dust, flying away into the wind, only leaving behind the scent of gunpowder. Everything was silent now, the blood rushing in my ears had stopped and the adrenaline was now gone. I was alone with only a pen in my hand.

I walked back outside and was immediately greeted by Nancy saying, "I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped your butt." I quickly dismissed the comment because I knew the Mist had effected them. It would be no use talking about Mrs. Dodds.

I looked at Chiron and he was in the same position the whole time. I almost snorted. He looked up, albeit a little dazed and said, "Ah, that would be my pen. Please bring your own writing utensil in the future, Mr. Jackson." I almost smirked as I could see the gears turning his head, trying to figure out how I knew who he was.

"Sorry, Mr. Brunner, It wont happen again." I said, and walked off to avoid anymore comments or questions.

AN: So this is what I'm gonna be doing. Basically rewriting the story. Nothing too big happens in this chapter, but I promise it will get a little more exciting in the future. I'm still up for suggestions on pairings and different scenarios. Send in any ideas you come up with.
