Chapter 3

I Meet my Father

So I wanted to do a poem on Luke's chapter after a mailman called me a fine poet,

But Luke was all like "You don't show it"

So then I said: "Fine, I'll do it on my chapter"

And Luke replied, "Sorry, I am not much of an adapter."

And I was like: "Duh, you hate the Percy!"

And he was like: "So you must need to nurse me!"

And he sighed, a long, long sigh.

Before he went fly.

For about 10 seconds in the sky!

And this chapter is about me,

Meeting a titan that is not a she.

This guy is immortal,

And can travel through space and time with his portal.

I finally found my true self,

Which was hard for me unlike anyone else.

Because I am untypically awesome…

Wait! That doesn't rhyme, Percy the opossum.

And then Luke comes along and sayz:

"Percy, your poem sucks more than Hernando Cortez.

And I'm sure he has never been to Jerez!

And I wasn't offended atall,

Because then, I discovered Luke sleeps with a doll!

Luke comes back: "PERCY STOP IT ALREADY!"

And I said, "Yo face looks a little bit RED-Y"

And he was like, "STOP!"

And I said, "When you go shop,

For a new top!

Because you just spilled acaijuice.

And it tasted better than acai Zeus!

So, go get REKT Luke!

Yo name smells worse than puke…"

Luke punches me and I am out of good rhymes,

Which gives me more times,

To finish eating my thymes

So there you have it, that was fun,

But I am so dun.

Maybe I'll try doing some pun!

"NO!" Luke boomed.

And I hope you liked my tune!

Back to the Story…

Was I seeing right? Do I need glasses? Or did it really happen? This is what I saw:

Annabeth landed on top of Luke and they started bickering. Thalia tried to inform them but they were too busy screaming. And then the amazing part happened: Thalia called out desperately out to the others and somehow summoned a storm onto the harpy. Like, wow! First, we're flying. Then we're battling a monster. Then I'm being carried by the monster. Now Thalia can summon storms? Why? How? Huh? The harpy dodged, and I got carried away. Literally.

The time the harpy was flying, I sadly watched Thalia's shape disappear into the distance. Then I had this weird feeling inside of me that I never felt before like I was going home. I don't know what this demi-something nonsense was about but I knew I was someone special. The harpy flew into the sunset.

"W-where am I?" I asked the braided girl.

"We are at Camp Half-Blood. A safe zone for demigods like us," she replied. I heard that before, but I don't remember where…

"Demigods? Who, me?" I stuttered, stunned.

"Yes. I'll explain everything later… go back to sleep and get some rest."

The image swirled with a rainbow of colors and came to the next scene.

"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!" Annabeth welcomed. "I was here for so many years, and it gets pretty lame. Since there are so many daughters of Athena, I never get picked for a mission. I need someone to take me on a mission. Someone like you…"

We walked in front of a messily painted cabin with rock music blaring out of it. It said "Ares Cabin" on the front. We walked passed another empty cabin decorated like the sky. It said "Zeus Cabin" on the front.

"Here it is," Annabeth stopped in front of a dull brown cabin which said "Undetermined" on it. Inside it stank with feet and dirty socks. "This is where you're going to stay temporarily."

"Ha!" one of the boys scoffed from inside the cabin. "Depends. I've been here for almost six months already!"

I climbed up onto my bunk bed and put my hand under the pillow. It was piled with gum.

"EEWWW!" I screamed.

"Sorry… Sticky Socks slept there…"

I woke up on a rock-hard bed. The terrain has spiky rugged peaks and mountainous plains. I overheard monsters talking:

"Are you sure this is the one? I don't want my Master to get mad at me."

"Yeah. I raised him. I know Cheryl brought the right one, Atlas," a familiar voice said. I hope you know who it is. Because I don't.

"Ok then. Cheryl, you are dismissed I will bring him right now to the boss."

Was it my cue to sleep-act? No. The titan just whacked me on the head with a rock.

I woke up in a fortress. The walls emitted a sense of evil and comfort to me.

"Come here right now Percy," the voice boomed, radiating power.

I looked for where it was coming from and found it.

There was a large giant was sitting on a throne behind me. I went up to the giant and I was so scared that my heart skipped a beat.

I summoned a bit of courage and replied, "What do you want with me?"
"I am the titan lord Saturn," he boomed, "and I welcome you to my home, Percy Kronos UnJackson."

K. actually stood for something? That's a surprise. But then again, everything that happened in the last couple days were a surprise too. I shouldn't say a surprise. It was more of a surprise x100,000

Saturn gave me a map of his home.

I almost wanted to burst into tears, laughing. A some kind of titan lord giving me, a wimpy useless kid, a map? *giggles*

"A long time ago, Poseidon died because of his evilness…"

"How do I know that you are an evil guy?" I interrupted. I am very bad at this kind of stuff.

"Because I am the sweet, loving god of Agriculture." Saturn answered. "Anyway, long story short, I am your father, and you know the saying: like father, like son?"

That was enough for me. This demigod father son thingy was getting to the breaking point. I could not stand it! I finally understand why the others were acting really mean. You couldn't accept it, and everyone already moves on. You were thrust into a battle that everyone knew what to do but you don't. You need support and information and sometimes you choose the wrong group. It was my turn to fight this battle.

Annabeth's POV:

"Hey!" Luke woke me up early in the morning, "can you help me with something?"

"Anything!" I answered.

"I'm bored."

"Well, then, entertain yourself!"

"That's why I need your help!"

I thought for a minute. What would Luke need my help for?

"Hint?" I requested.

"I need help getting payback."

Suddenly it struck me.

"You need me to do a prank."

"Right on!"

"On who?"

"Guess!"

I absolutely loved his pranks! Especially when he asked me for help! Even if I had no idea what it is about…

"Percy?" I guessed.

"Wrong!" Luke accused.

I thought and I thought but nothing came to me.

"I give up!" I gave up. "Who?"

"Thalia!" Luke gave me a thumbs up.

Why didn't I think about that! The daughter of Athena turns out to be the stupidest demigod in the world. VERY EMBARRASSING, Annabeth!

"Um," I remembered that I was on Thalia's team but revolted, "Maybe we could trap her in a net. And post a video on Twitter. And Facebook! And Instagram! And DemiBook! And Olympus TeleVision!"

"Nah…" Luke shook his head. "I have another idea, but I need help."

"Ok. Hmm. Maybe we could ask Hermes?"

"My dad hates me," Luke said matter-of-factly.

"Ares?" I guessed thinking of the god of war.

"Ares loves me. But, I don't think any god could help us… I need your help.

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I know exactly what to do."

Thalia POV:

I can't believe Percy is gone! We failed our mission so badly. Zeus will be so mad at me as well, and my best friend Ally! My day couldn't have been worse. I layed down on my bed in our small apartment home. Chiron sent a few Hephaestus kids to fix the apartment hole that the harpy caused. Luke and Annabeth were in the room doing stuff for some reason. I heard them laughing and plotting but didn't pay any attention.

I felt depressed not only for that reason, but because that Percy was gone. He was a nice guy, not like the rest of them. I finally realized how mean I was to the others! I felt so guilty, I would make Luke and Annabeth's prank work. I bet that's what they were doing, because I knew why they would get that idea one day or another. I wanted Percy to come back so bad. He was so nice and attractive… oops! (Pretend I didn't say that!)

Anyway, I cried myself to sleep.

Luke POV:

This part of the chapter is the best. Because I'm telling it. Anyway, the revenge plot.

You know how Thalia has fake tattoos. We took advantage of that. And that the tattoos have to dry…

"Thalia!" I beckoned, "come here!"

I was standing in my room. Thalia was in the bathroom next to my room. There was a mischievous Annabeth in between.

"I'm BUSY!" Thalia shouted, "I'm almost done!"

"PERCY IS HERE! IN MY ROOM!" I lied. Annabeth laughed quietly.

"Percy?" Thalia rushed out of the bathroom and into my room. Her tattoos were done.

Annabeth released the water from where she was perched, the fan.

Thalia got soaked and… you guessed it! NO MORE TATTOOS!

I must be honest with you. She looked petrified. Like with makeup polluted water all over her.

"YOU SON OF A PRANK GOD!"

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"You'll pay for this!" Thalia snarled. She sent dozens of lightning bolts out of her finger, "Annabeth, how could you!"

You know that water conducts lightning right? Thalia shocked herself.

"All part of the plan…" the daughter of Athena said triumphantly. We clapped hands.
