Author's note.
Disclaimer: Still don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
To Sea-Demigod: Just wait until you see who else is an Authorer/Authoress. You will probably be shocked.
Anyway enjoy Chapter 9!
Chapter 9
I waited until we were at destination before I told them about my adoption. It was funny to say the least.
See, when we arrived at our destination, Percy and I were supposed to go look for the Authorer but I stopped him before we could go anywhere.
"What's up, Lily?" He asked.
"We don't have to go look for that Authorer." I said simply.
"But we need him for the quest and... you got adopted and didn't tell us, didn't you?" Percy asked his eyes widening.
"Yep." I replied.
"Who adopted you?" He asked after a moment.
"Poseidon/Neptune." I replied before adding. "Looks like we're adopted siblings, kelp head."
"Stop calling me that!" Percy complained.
"Never!" I declared.
"You're so mean." He pouted.
"No Rick's mean, I'm just a girl who recently discovered she is an Authoress." I said crossing my arms.
"You need to stop using that excuse." Percy said before grinning and adding. "Little sis."
I bonked him upside the head.
"Don't call me little sis." I snapped.
"Ouch, what got you in a bad mood?" Percy asked rubbing his head.
"Do you really need to ask that question?" I replied giving him a dubious look.
Percy looked really confused and then he finally got it.
"Oh right, you still hate Neptune."
"Yeah." I said dryly.
"You just need to get to know him. He's nice." Percy said.
"Have you even met Neptune?" I asked and before he could open his mouth, I added. "Meeting Poseidon does not count as meeting Neptune."
"Well how do you know what he's like?" Percy demanded after a moment. "You've only heard a description of him and yet you hate him. You think that Rick's right about him but he might not be. You can't judge someone before you even meet him."
I knew he was right but if you heard terrible things about someone, could you expect them to actually be a good person? I had heard some pretty bad things about Neptune and I wasn't quite ready to believe he could be nice.
"I'll try and keep an open mind, Perce, but no guarrentees." I said after a minute.
"That's all I ask." Percy said before grinning and saying. "So since you're my little sister..."
"I don't like where this is going..." I muttered.
"That means I can finally be the overprotective brother." Percy finished.
"Yes you can be the overprotective brother if you wish to be killed." I muttered.
"Alright, alright no need to threaten me." Percy said holding up his hands.
I laughed.
"What's so funny?" Percy asked.
"That you're afraid of your little sister." I replied smirking.
"Well you can control fire, electricity, water, and you can make portals that send you to another dimmension, why wouldn't I be afraid?" Percy pointed out.
"I guess you have a point." I said still smirking. "But still, what big brother is afraid of their little sister?"
"Me." Percy replied.
"That was a retorical question, kelp head." I said shaking my head. Percy was hopeless.
"If you keep calling me that, I will come up with a nickname for you." Percy growled.
"Do your worst, kelp head!" I declared.
"Sure, bookworm."
I turned to him slowly and then I sent a volt of electricity at him.
"Don't call me that!" I shouted.
"Then stop calling me kelp head." Percy said smirking.
"Sure, Prissy." I said grinning.
Percy groaned.
"Where did you get so many nicknames for me?" He asked.
"From the books, in fact, I have nicknames for the entire crew." I said smirking.
"What are they?" Percy asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well Annabeth is wise girl, Frank is panda man or goldfish boy, Jason is blonde superman, Piper is beauty queen, Leo is repair boy, and... actually I can't think of one for Hazel." I said frowning when I got to Hazel.
"Goldfish boy?" Percy asked after a minute.
"I came up with that when I heard that he had turned into a goldfish." I replied.
"Huh, where'd you get blonde superman?" Percy asked.
"Books again." I replied.
"You get everything from books, don't you?" Percy asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nope." I said smiling. "I get things mostly from other Authorers and Authoresses."
"How many do you know?"
"Too many to count." I replied and then I asked. "Do you know Will Solace?"
"Yeah."
"He's an Authorer." I said smiling.
Percy's jaw nearly hit the floor. After a minute, he managed to sputter.
"Will Solace is an Authorer!"
"Yeah." I replied.
"How?" Percy demanded.
"Well like I said before, most Apollo kids and legacies are Authorers/ Authoresses." I stopped for a moment and then I added. "Though different demigods can be Authorers/Authoresses as well."
"How many demigods do you know that are also Authorers/Authoresses?" Percy asked.
"Seventy-four, not including the ones that are adopted by gods." I replied. "Most of them are at the roman camp but there are a few greek Authorers/Authoresses. Like Katie Gardener and Travis Stoll."
Percy nearly choked.
"You're only mentioning this now." He said after a minute.
"It never came up, besides not even Connor knows that Travis is an Authorer." I said smiling. "That's part of the reason why they were staying with Rick. He wanted to keep an eye on Travis."
Percy stared at me for a moment and then he asked.
"If Travis is an Authorer, does that mean that he can play even worse pranks on people?"
"Yes that's why Katie has been keeping an eye on him." I said smiling. "And trust me when I saw that nobody wants to deal with an angry Katie. Especially when she uses her Authoress powers."
Percy shook his head and then he asked.
"How does no demigod know that they're Authorers/Authoresses?"
"Because we are smart." I declared and then I said. "So do you want to know who else is an Authorer/Authoress?"
"I don't know..." Percy started to say but I interupted him saying. "It's someone in this crew."
"Who?" Percy asked staring at me in shock.
"Well he's still an unknown Authorer but a certain son of Mars just happens to be an Authorer." I said smirking.
"FRANK IS AN AUTHORER!" Percy yelled before fainting.
"I probably shouldn't have told him that." I said to myself before using my Authoress powers to carry him to the infirmary.
Author's note.
So who else was shocked at learning other people who are Authorers and the one Authoress. I think learning that Frank was an unknown Authorer was an even bigger shock then the Octavien as an unknown Authorer thing. Anyway remember to review.
