Chapter 10

A suprise, a gift and a night

James' P.O.V.

Whoa! I thought after I watched the drama between Lacey and Mark, and Landon and Pheme…Where am I?

When the "horse man", Chiron came back he announced it was Capture the flag night and the whole pavilion shook when everyone started cheering.

"Hopefully our new comers will get claimed like they usually do at capture the flag for an unknown reason," he trailed off uncertainly, " Hermes cabin, Athena cabin, Percy,

I tuned out, thinking: I heard my cabins name so why do I have to still listen? I soon found out I was wrong. I tuned out too long and didn't hear the rules and stuff.

"James!" I sat up to see everyone has left and Landon was shaking me and Chiron was staring.

"Wha-?"

"Landon, is it? Go to your cabin let me speak with James,"

"Okay," then under his breath he whispered to me, "good luck."

"Thanks," I muttered.

"Come with me James."

"Sure," I said as I followed him, then he grabbed my arms and swung me on his back and before I could react he ran faster than lightening. We were going so fast I could barley see. When we finally stopped we were at the empire state building.

"what the heck?" I exclaimed

" Your father wanted to speak with you…" his voice trailed off but I think he said something like "untamed" or "unnamed."

"At the empire state building?" I said way past confused

"No, on mount Olympus." Chiron said looking up. I followed his gaze to the cloudy sky.

"Mount Olympus is where?"

"Follow me."

"Ummm… okay."

He led me to the elevator and he put in a golden drachma (I have no idea how I knew the name of it…) in a slot to the side and we went shooting straight up. I was surprised I didn't feel even a little nausea after that, but I had a creeping thought telling me who my dad might be…

When the elevator door opened I saw a beautiful see threw path way leading to I guessed to be the throne room for the Olympian gods. Even though my father had sent me dream telepathy type things I never thought it could actually be real but I believed it. He was my used to be principle at school but now he turned out to be my father. If you really think about it, its really not that weird.

I didn't believe in all this Greek stuff, used to think it was a game. This proved me wrong, WAY wrong. My dad turned out to be the god of gods! And I've heard at camp already that they've broken the rule they made to not have children because they were to powerful. Like Poseidon broke the oath when he had Percy! Now I'm just another broken rule.

It could be worse, I could be Nico and be hated by every one, but at least he is not a broken rule. He was born over 70 years ago and was trapped in hotel where you didn't age.

You'd be surprised at how much you hear when the only people you know are fighting and you tune in to someone else's conversation.

"Are you coming?" Chiron asked. I snapped out of the past and in to the present.

"Yeah, I was just… lost in thought…" I said nervously. Chiron looked at me sympathetically .

"I know what your thinking but you haven't been in there yet, maybe it will turn out better than you think."

I knew he was just saying that to make me feel better but I wanted to believe him I just couldn't .

Jupiter's P.O.V.

"Okay," I thought, "I'm going to tell him he is Roman not Greek, send him to Lupa and her wolves next week, and give him a weapon. Its tradition to give your child a new, impressive weapon before bad or hard news for them, so I designed a 5 foot long imperial gold sword for him with strong in Latin written on the flat of the blade.

I think Chiron is ticked at me but Juno has her purposes for this. James really is Greek, but still my son, just son of my other self, Zeus.

When James walked in my heart dropped, he looked so much like his mother it was incredible. When I found my voice I explained everything to him. When his jaw dropped I knew he was a mixture of mad, glad, sad and mad again. That made me glad to present the gift to him.

"do you like it, son?"

"Yeah, but why do I have to hang out with wolves before going."

"Its tradition," I said firmly, "You may leave."


Chiron's P.O.V.

Once James was securely on my back I brought us back to camp. James hadn't said a word the whole time but I was sure he would catch bugs in his mouth if he tried.

"I'm going to skip capture the flag… where do I sleep?" he asked

"Here," I pointed at the biggest cabin at camp half-blood, the Zeus' cabin.

James P.O.V.

I walked into the cabin to find a giant statue of my father in his greek form. His eyes seemed to follow you…it was creepy.

I was surprised to see that there were clothes, toiletries and other stuff laying on my bed, I didn't think much of it and I grabbed some PJs and took a shower.

As soon as I got my PJs on and half way across the room I felt something hit the back of my head and I passed out cold.

Lacey's P.O.V.

"Dadlets please not bring up what happened last time! I will iris message Chiron in a minute! PLEASE!" I called from upstairs.

"Fine, but if you don't by tomorrow I will!" he called back.

"What about what happened last time when you tried to iris message me!" I called.

"Good point… this is not over!

That's when I started thinking about what happened last time I left came without telling anyone…
