CHAPTER TITLE: Hey, Stupid, Ground Beef!
PERSEPHONE: played by Raffey Cassidy.
AN: THANK YOU! A big THANK YOU to all those who favourited, followed and reviewed! This chapter does mention slight sexual abuse.I'll try keep to the books while changing it at the same time, something I suck at. Most of this story should be in Third Person, because I feel that I can include more then what's in first person. Here's the forth chapter!
••—••—••
THIRD PERSON POV
"Promise me!" "Alright, alright. I promise." Grover should have know that Persy would break her promise. He had to admit that he probably freaked his friend out. Sighing, Grover hailed a cab, heading back towards Yancy were Chiron was. Hopefully Chiron could give him some advice.
••—••—••
Persy stared at her apartment. She felt kind of guilty for leaving Grover, but Persy wanted a moment to see if what the Fates said was true. If her mum had forgotten. "Here, Carlos." Persy said, giving the cab driver a twenty. "Alright Perse. Give me a call if you want another ride." Carlos was a friend of her mum's, Persy generally got discounts whenever he drove for her, plus good company. "Bye Carlos." "Bye Perse, tell your mum I said hi, she said she was walking home tonight." "I will."
Persy waved at Carlos and walked into the apartment building. She crinkled her nose, she could smell Gabe from here! If she thought Gabe was bad before, he was worse when she was a female. Way worse.
Persy opened the door slowly, already knowing Gabe and his poker buddies were inside.
"So, you're home, took you long enough. I didn't have your mother around to much." Persy held back a gag as Gabe's poker buddies giggled, yes giggled, and hi-fives him. Eddie looked at her sadly, Persy smiled at him. Eddie had always been nicer. "Mum's walking home. She'll be home soon. Carlos told me." Persy snapped back. She hated Gabe with all her being. He was a filthy man. Gabe frowned at the mention of Carlos. "Whatever, whore. Your report card came. I wouldn't act so, happy." Persy rolled her eyes and walked past him, gagging mentally when Gabe slapped her behind. She resisted ever urge to pull Riptide out and scare him sh!tless.
Persy went up to her bedroom, Gabe was pushed out by the force of GIRLPOWER, so she didn't have to share a 'study'/bedroom with him. Thank the gods.
Persy walked over to the mirror, just wondering. She hadn't really studied her new features yet, she needed to really know how different she looked. Staring back at her was a twelve year old girl with slight freckles, ocean blue eyes, brown – almost black – waist length hair pulled into a braid, a flat chest and a little too skinny. The girls lips pulled into a smile as Persy smiled at her reflection. This was who she was now, this was Persephone Jackson. Perseus was non existent, Persephone was here.
Persy scoffed in disgust at her clothes, walking over to her small wardrobe and pulling out a plain black shirt that showed her belly button, a pair of blue denim high-waisted shorts, black socks and a pair of black vans. Pulling them on, Persy nodded and smiled, the high waisted shorts covered the rest of her stomach so she didn't have to worry about that. So simple it looked kind of dressy. Taking her hair out of its braid, Persy began brushing the long brown locks. (AN: I don't know about other girls, but when I get home, the first thing I do I'd get changed and do my hair.) Grabbing the hair tie off the vanity, Persy pulled her hair into a half-up-half-down ponytail.
"Persy!" Sally yelled as she ran up the stairs, she didn't know why, but she felt the strong need to make sure her daughter was alright. "Mum!" Persy whirled around and jumped off the seat. "Oh, darling! I was beginning to worry. I love you so much. I thought you'd be downstairs and when I got the call that you were expelled! Carlos called me and told me you were home. Why didn't you call me?" Sally rambled, pulling Persy into a tight hug. "Mum, I'm fine, nothing to worry about!" "Well, then let's not let these candies go to waste."
Persy and Sally sat on the bed, Persy telling Sally about school, Grover, Alecto and that it was almost time. Sally bit her lip, "dear, how about we stop at Montauk for the night? It's on the way." Sally couldn't remember how Persy knew about being a half-blood, but she knew that she knew that Persy knew.
Persy smiled, anything to spend time with her mum. "Let's go!"
••—••—••
Gabe watched as his step-daughter pulled her's and Sally's bags into the car.
He didn't understand why they were taking so many bags and he didn't understand why they were taking his car, but Gabe's an idiot so, it seems right that he wouldn't understand. Persy and Sally told him that Persy was being dropped off at a friends for a couple nights, and that Sally was staying for a night. Persy was amazed that he bought it.
"So, mum, are you gonna divorce Smelly Gabe soon?" Persy asked as they sat around the campfire at Montauk. Sally gasped, not expecting that question. "No, I don't think so honey." "Come on mum! We don't need him around anymore! He's ruining our lives!" Persy told her, trying to convince her. "No, Persephone. And that is that." Persy sighed and sat back, staring at her marshmallow.
••—••—••
Grover ran down Montauk, trying to find Persy through the hurricane. He didn't need to try hard, because there she was, sitting outside the cabin, watching the waves rise and fall with the strong wind that howled through the night. Persy knew she ought to be inside, where it was safe, but she love the feel of the rain dripping onto her, slowly giving her the strength she'll need for the fight with Larry the Minotaur.
She watched in amusement as Grover ran right past her, knocking frantically on the door. Sally opened it, stared at Grover, grabbed the coats, Persy and then ran to the car, talking to Grover all the while.
Persy stared at Grover. "Dude. You ran right past me." She informed him. Grover blushed. "Whatever, we need to get out of here. He's right behind me!" He said, dragging the girl behind him. "Yeah, I know. But you, my friend, are slightly overreacting." Grover stared at Persy like she was crazy. It's the Minotaur. HE WASN'T OVERREACTING!
••—••—••
When Kronos had told him, get the girl and get her mother, The Minotaur, let's call him Larry, thought his job would be easy. But when he smelled the girl, a burning hatred burned through him. Larry didn't know why either.
She wasn't stinky or anything, but she seemed powerful, smelled like the beach, for some reason, Larry didn't just want to kill her, he wanted to torture and usually Larry didn't like to wait. It was strange. What about this beach-smelling demigod made him hate her so much? Oh well, he'd find out later, when he killed her.
••—••—••
Persy watched as her mother disappeared in a golden shower. Even though she knew that Sally was fine, anger filled her and hate blinded her. She felt the pocket of her shorts and pulled out Riptide, too angry to wonder how it got there. She ran forward, jumping onto the beast's back and swiped Riptide through his horn, chopping it off. Bringing Riptide through his horn made Larry feel sick. And Persy knew it. She was the Bane of Monsters after all.
Somewhere in the battle, Persy thrust Riptide into his heart. Persy glared at the golden dust remains. The adrenaline that had been pumping through Persy's veins vanished, leaving Persy tired. I didn't realise how out of shape I was a twelve Persy mused mentally. Persy hobbled over to Grover, grabbing onto Larry's horn. Grabbing Grover, Persy made her way over to the Big House, well tried. She collapsed on the steps, expecting Annabeth and Chiron, but was very, very surprised to see Luke there too.
"She's the one, she must be!" Annabeth said. "Silence, Annabeth. Luke, take her inside. Annabeth grab Grover." The last thing Persy felt before she blacked out was her waist and back gently lifting off the ground.

AN: How was this? I tried to make it as long as I could. I managed to get two chapters of The Lightning Thief in this chapter! Just wanted to let you know, I'm currently on holiday and am writing each chapter on my iPad and using my dad's hotspot (I have no service here) to upload each chapter. So the pace of updates may vary. Just warning. Bye!
