This story was on hiatus but I have had a lot of people asking for this chapter. I can't promise regular update's for any of my stories really. I write and update when I feel like it. So sorry if this chapter is crap.
True Love?
Chapter 4
I felt my hold slacken and Percy pushed through the crowd, I just stared after him my frozen heart shattered into a million pieces. People started to leave and it was soon just me and my family. I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and Jasper appeared in front of me, I couldn't face them not after that. I tore myself free and ran away from my family silent sobs escaped me. I was just a faint streak of white now running from my feelings running from my family.
Alice P.O.V
I lay back against the springy moss staring quietly at the rising moon; smiling at the moon I bowed my head a little in a sign of respect to my Aunt Artemis, goddess of the moon, hunt, wilderness, animals, child birth and a maiden goddess. I was in my final year at Forks high I'm sure I will be able to cope with Percy's company for the rest of the year. But will I be able to hide my feelings though. Clutching my head I nearly screamed out in frustration all of these thoughts were driving me mad.
"Calm down Alice, calm down," I muttered to myself.
"Yes child calm down," said a soft voice like that of a melody.
Feeling no danger I only raised my head and sat frozen as I stared at the goddess of the hearth. Blinking I stood and bowed mumbling 'Lady Hestia' in the process.
However the kind hearted just waved it aside, "No need for formalities my dear we are family. And family treat each other as equals."
"Try telling the rest of the immortals that," I said softly.
"Yes our immortal part of the family is rather insufferable and that is why I left with young Perseus."
"What? You left because they were insufferable," I questioned baffled.
"No not just that," Hestia said shaking her head, her almost red hair bouncing around her before cascading down her back and over her shoulders "I left because I was forgotten about and was practically fading but I was saved by Perseus who had been through many hardships in his life."
"What even more than what I witnessed!" I cried out in horror.
"Yes my dear even more than that, each worse than the last. He ended up facing mother earth,"
"Gaia," I gasped.
"Yes, and he risked his own life to keep everyone safe. He won of course putting the Primordial back into a deep slumber but the fear he had struck in hearts as they saw how powerful he truly was lingered. Everyone soon became too scared to even talk to him and finally he snapped. He had been betrayed and so he left. That is just the basic story if and only if Perseus decides to include the rest of the details will you get to understand his torturous time. He tried to seek you out as well as you were the first person he ever trusted but he came to a dead end and his hope dwindled down to nearly nothing. I went to him as he was leaving camp and we have started to build a new life here."
Soon after Hestia had finished talking she embraced me in a quick hug before vanishing in a flash of flames. Leaving me to ponder over what I had just learnt. In a way I had failed Percy I had failed my soul mate. Placing my head on my bent knees I started to sob no tears came out but it felt like tears were cascading down my face in waterfalls.
Percy P.O.V
After I pushed through the crowd and moved towards my car I slipped inside. Still feeling pairs of eyes on me I backed out of the parking space I had previously occupied and then slammed my foot on the accelerator. The tires squealed as I shot forward once again I was probably breaking the speed limit and once again I didn't give a shit. Tearing down the roads I turned onto the highway just aimlessly driving around. It was true I had fallen in love with Alice I still do but she had vanished before I could tell her my feelings. I had been crushed just a shell of my once easy going persona it had finally been Annabeth to crack the wall that I had built up around myself. And then she just went and betrayed me. I had stricken fear into the hearts of those I loved by trying to protect them. Feeling my conflicted emotions I swerved around and thundered down a country lane. Satisfied that I was far enough away from the highway I halted the car and stepped out into the pouring rain. Plopping down into the grass I tried to sort through my emotions. I knew they could result in my powers going overboard. Just as Annabeth's face swam to the forefront of my mind I felt a tremor in the Earth. Taking a deep breath I tried to calm my now raging anger inside of me.
But it didn't help I felt the tremors in the Earth grow larger and my sea green eyes glow with an unnatural power pacing I started to pull out my hair, "This is not good," I started to mutter and then the rocks and pebbles started bouncing about the trees swayed from side to side in a frantic motion, "Fuck."
I tried and failed to calm my erratic heartbeat and slow my frantic breathing. And then something happened something that I never thought I could do. My eyes burst into green flames and green flames danced on the palms of my hands, the widening of my eyes was the only indication my body got before I freaked out. I summoned water and drenched my hands in it but the flames did not go they just turned a violent shade of cobalt blue. Just as I started to hyperventilate I felt cool hands be placed on my muscled shoulders and a pair of soft red eyes stared into my green flame ones.
"Calm down Percy, come on," Hestia said softly.
Her voice instantly slowed my heart and breathing and the flames soon dispersed and my eyes turned back to their normal sea green.
"What, what was that?" I questioned shakily.
"That is the power you get for being my adopted son."
Ha-ha cliffe. I'm so mean aren't I making you wait for ages and then leave you on a cliff hanger. Did anyone expect Percy to be adopted by Hestia because I actually did not plan that I just wrote this chapter randomly. So basically I winged it so that will explain if this chapter is just a pile of shit ha-ha. I would like to get upto 54 or 55 reviews before my next update. Okay.
Star,
