The Big Three CATS! Chapter 6

"So how exactly did you meet Anubis?" Thalia asked as she petted Zeus on the head. She was sitting crossed legged on Percy's bed.

"I tried to shadow travel and ended up in a tomb in Egypt." Nico said sitting with his back to Percy's door as he waved a feathered stick around.

"Anubis showed up, said he smelled a relation to death on me. He rather freaked me out at first, with his jackal head. Then he changed into what could be my big brother."

Nico's eyes followed Hades as he leaped and pounced after the feather.

"He asked if I lived with my godly parent. I told him no, I mostly roam from place to place." Hades felt a prick of guilt, which quickly went away as the annoying feather of doom hit him between the eyes.

"He said he would like to adopt me. I could stay in the Egyptian underworld serving under Osiris. When I was about to answer, dad showed up and yelled at Anubis…." Nico trailed off as he remembered the rage on his father's face, aimed at a fellow god. "Then, he threw me into so shadows and made me stay home."

Hades let out a growl and finally pounced onto the feather.

Percy chuckled from his place in the computer chair and said, "Wow, who knew your dad could be so possessive."

Nico looked at Percy and dead paned, "He's the god of the underworld, surrounded by the dead. He loses his wife for six months; he lost my mom because of his brother. He has no one to talk to besides ghosts that are not entreating at all and Cerberus who cannot talk at all. And don't get me started on Charon."

Thalia looked at him interested, "Then why don't you stay with him during the summer?"

Hades felt his ears perked up and he turned to his son, ignoring the yellow feather hanging from his mouth.

Nico looked uncomfortable as he answered, "Well, I don't really like it down there. Besides, my dad hates me."

Hades felt his head drooped down, as he thought, 'No, I don't'

Nico caught Percy watching them and asked, "Hey Percy, what's going on with you and Paul?"

Poseidon tensed from under the computer table. 'Yes, Percy tell us what is going on."

Percy flinched under the sudden intense stares; his cousins could be a lot like their fathers when they wanted to be…Though they seemed unaware of their intense auras that screamed, "YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE!"

Thailia saw the flinch and assumed the worst, "That fucker's going to die!"

Nico nodded determined, "Yeah, we're going to kick that fudge pop's honey buns!"

Everyone turned to him and stared.

"What? What I'd say?"

Percy shook his head and said, "Guys it's not what you think."

His cousins beamed him with their eyes, searching for any hint of lies. Percy took a deep breath and said, "It started like this, I came home with Paul. Paul was in a bad mood, so I tried to cheer him up. It did not work; he yelled at me to leave him alone and turned. He lost his footing and stumbled hitting me on the face. It brought back memories of Gabe and I freaked out."

A collective hum filled the room as the demigods and cats took it all in.

"But, what about Paul pushing Poseidon away and glaring at him?" Nico interrogated as Hades climbed into his lab facing his nephew.

Percy laughed slightly, "How would you react to something flying at you from nowhere?" The others grudgingly nodded. "Besides, Paul's allergic to cats. They cause him hives, you should have seen him in the morning, and it was gross. Why do you think he's been staying at a hotel lately?"

"I thought he and Mrs. Jackson got into a fight." Nico said.

"That too." Percy laughed, "Hey you guys want to watch a movie?"

"Sure" Twin voices said.

They fell asleep while they watch the movie. A flash of light filled the living room; the godly cats raised their heads. In front of them was Apollo.

Review this story, and I got one review that said it hurt them by using the term Goth. Sorry it did and you threw me off kilter for all my stories. However, I would like to tell you that, it was to show how standard a bully the girl was, she saw it bugged Thalia and continued to use that term. Truthfully I do not really get the whole label things, I at times label people as soon as I see them in one moment. Because in this society that is how we are raised, I realize that is wrong, because no one person is exactly what you think they will be. Their labyrinths and each turn might surprise you, one way or another.
