Chapter 10: "Percy, I am your father…"

Percy Jackson

Last chappie…

"You are my son,Perseus." I told him firmly.

His eyes widened. "What…"

"What do you mean by 'You are my son, Perseus'?" I asked, suddenly rage over taking my body. How dare he come out and say such thing! "First thing is first, don't call me Perseus! I hate it when people call me that!"

"Son—" he tried but I closed my eyes trying to shield his words. A topic such as my father is very important to me and no one can mess with that. He can't joke with that! He can't just come right out and say he is my father. Besides, what interest does he have in me?

All these thoughts came to mind in a quick second.

"Don't… Don't try." My voice came out hollow and harsh. I didn't mean it that way mostly 'cause I don't know him but… What is going on?"

"Percy, I have been looking for you ever since you disappeared with Alice and—" he said but I cut him off.

"Wait who did you just mention? Alice? How do you know my mother?" Who does he think he is? A private investigator or what?

"I know her name, my son, because she is the woman who ripped you away from me. She took you away and you were gone like that." His eyes were so filled with hurt that it forced me to look away. "You were so innocent. You couldn't do anything for yourself, obviously."

"How do you know I am the 'son' you are looking for? Do you have proof?" I dared him. His sea green… eyes twinkled. Like mine… He pulled out two pieces of paper that were folded small. He gave them to me.

"Unfold them and tell me that is not you." He dared back. I look at him suspiciously. Is this a trap?

I unfolded the paper and beheld what was in front of me. The first paper was a very detailed portrait of a little boy. It looked like the type of drawings I do. The portrait held the image of a boy wrapped in a blanket with his eyes bright sea green. The captain seemed to have put a lot a work into this because he took the liberty of adding color. The boy had jet black hair like the captain and same eyes as the captain and same features as the captain. Everything was the same except that the boy was small and it was a drawing.

I unfolded the other piece of paper. It held the portrait of a baby girl. She had caramel colored hair and almond brown eyes. She was beautiful. The little girl, in the picture, was smiling and I swear I could hear her giggle. She was wrapped in a pink blanket.

Without noticing, an innocent tear trailed down my cheek. I hope the captain didn't notice, even though I wiped it away.

"I drew these when I made you both a promise that I would find you somehow. I could never erase your faces from my mind." He smiled at me.

"Who is the little girl?" I asked, curiosity kicking in.

He stood up from leaning on his desk and walked towards a window. There was moment of silence before he spoke. "She is your twin sister who is also lost. I don't know where she is."

I scoffed, "I don't have a twin sister. I have a mother back home. I have dead pirate/sailor/boat builder father somewhere out at sea…"

My voice faded because something came to mind. Wait a minute…

All the moments when I asked my mother where my father was, she would say "At sea" or "dead" and leave me hanging.

And the moments when she would say to herself, "I should've said 'no'" or "He is not mine, why do I have to put up with him? I barely have money to feed myself!"

And when…

It's starting to make sense. But something still doesn't make the puzzle complete. The captain does have kids. Two, a girl and a boy who are around my age.

"My niece and nephew have been helping with this. They want me to find my lost kids." he said as if reading my mind.

"But you can't be my father! He is lost. I've been looking for him since... Since forever! You just can't..." I stuttered. He just can't be.

"Percy, you can't deny the truth. We look the same. You look like a young version of me. Your full name is Perseus Alexander Jackson. And how do I know this? Because you are mine." he was desperate to convince me but I didn't budge. I don't know if it's my natural instinct to trust no one that makes me doubt of him but I didn't believe him. How could he be my father? I don't look anything like him. Wait...

I looked into a small oval shaped mirror that hung on the floor and saw my reflection. He seemed to know what I was doing because he came closer to and me stood behind me.

"You have my same eyes. Same hair. Same smile, although I haven't seen it." he tried but I didn't smile. He cleared his throat and continued. "We have the same voice and we have the same dreams and thoughts..."

"And what dreams do we supposedly share?" I questioned him.

"To have that missing something back. That something we wish to have again. And to keep it forever." he declared.

If he meant me by 'that someone' then he is wrong, because he is not my dad! I mean it can't be this easy to find a missing relative. Can it? I mean my whole entire life I've been waiting for him to 'come back' or looking for him and the only clue I have as to where my father is that he is 'at sea'. Can he possibly know that my father is somewhere at sea and he is playing with that 'cause he is a captain? A famous captain, actually.

"Percy, I am your father… You have to believe me." He put his palms on my shoulders. Hiss voice was now going to crack. He was pleading now. If it weren't for his snazzy suit he would be on his knees.

I closed my eyes and opened them when I had a decision made.

"Okay. I'm not saying I believe you but I want to know how you lost me." I told him. If he was my blood, I want to know how all this happened.

He put his hands off of me and sighed. He walked over to a chair near his desk. He sat putting his head on his hands as if trying to put all of this together.

I took a seat on the next chair beside him.

He began, "My parents and your mother's were against our relationship. When they found out were seeing each other they immediately began searching for fiancées for us. Anything so we wouldn't be together. However, your mother, Sally, was already pregnant with you two. We didn't know what to do so we went the easy way. We escaped…"

He stopped talking and lifted his head. I was looking at him the whole time and when I looked into his eyes that were identical as mine, I knew this was really hard for him.

"My uncle, before he died, gave a small house in the fields that no one knew about. That is where you were born. When I held you in my arms I knew you were mine. Your sister as well. At the moment it seemed the best option but my fiancée's father and my own checked all our properties and they soon came for us. We escaped once more to an inn and we stayed there for a few days so you, your sister, and your mother could rest. All that rest gave your mother an idea to protect you both."

He stood from his seat and walked over to a large window over looking the wide sea.

"She told me that she knew two distinct families that could help us. She thought that if we separate you two with those families while we find a safe place to live we could keep you away from our parents." He told me, regret filling his eyes and hands.

I walked over to him, "Continue. I need to know how it happened. Continue." I urged him. "Why two families? Why not take us with you?"

He ignored my questions and obeyed my commands, "Paul Blofis, Sally's fiancée knew of our whereabouts and quickly led a search team to find us. We didn't know what to do so we went forward with your mother's plan even if I knew it was too risky. They where almost there so we quickly disguised ourselves, got your things ready and fled the inn. We first went to drop off Calypso, your sister."

"Her name is Calypso?" I said looking at her drawing.

"Yes, guilty as charged. I have a thing for Greek mythology. Anyway, we left her with a man named Atlas and his wife. He seemed like a noble man whose wife seemed caring enough to care for young Caley. For your mother and me it was hard to leave her behind for she was our little girl with her beautiful brown eyes that I could swear could change to any color like her mother. You could see that she would grow up to be caring and kind woman. Her innocence gave her that gift."

"Do you know where she is? Any clue as to where she is?" I do have a faint memory of someone named "Caley".

Memory

My vision is blurry but I could make out a figure beside me with a pink blanket, crying. She woke me up but I stayed silent.

Then I saw someone's arms pick her up and shush her to sleep. Then I noticed that I was hungry so another set of arms carried me and fed me.

End of Memory

"Um, yes," he said, still not taking his eyes off of the horizon. "We know that Atlas fled to an island named Ogygia not far from the shore of New York, which is where you were born. We know that Atlas left on purpose for an unknown reason. That's it."

"Oh…" I said.

"Anyway, next we went to drop you off. Sally knew this woman for a short time but she trusted her. For me it was hard to let you go especially since you were just like me. You were squirming and very uncomfortable with that woman but I didn't notice right away. She said you would be in good hands and that we shouldn't worry. But when we were ready to have you both back, we worried. Atlas was gone with Caley and Alice was gone with you."

He turned to face me and then I noticed his eyes. His sea green pearls of eyes were filled with tears of pain and sadness and regret. He let his head fall down.

Unconsciously, I lifted his head with my hand and with the other I wiped the tears from his cheeks. He smiled at me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't get you back or Caley. I'm a failure as a father." He paused and then continued. "A year or two later, my brother, Zeus, and his wife died in an automobile accident and left his two young children behind. I went back for his funeral and in his will he left his children in my charge and his banking accounts to my other brother, Hades, except for two which he left to me for his children. My brother Hades also lost a son named Nicolas in Italy when the boy was very young. We have been helping each other. Our parents never agreed with our decisions so we are forced to take drastic choices to just stay away from them and be "happy"."

I nodded.

"Zeus was the favorite of the family so he got all the "yes" answers from our parents while Hades and I got the "no" answers." His voice was now bitter and hurt.

"So, those two kids that are always with you aren't your own?" I asked him.

He shook his head, "No but I love them dearly. They're names are Jason, who is fifteen, and Reyna, who is 14 and a half. She gets mad when people say just fourteen. She is desperate to be an adult and get married." He shrugged.

There was a long pause before he began once more. "Do you believe me, son?"

That short question took a lot of thought and belief. It is a lot to process. I mean, yes we do look alike and his story sort of fits my life.

Just then that confusing memory came to me.

Memory

I am in arms of someone, wrapped in baby blankets. The person is warm and holding me tightly.

I feminine voice says, "It is for the best, my boy." She kisses me on the forehead.

Another voice speaks, male this time, "Always remember we love you, Perseus."

The person holding me says, "He will be in good hands. Don't worry, Sir… Miss... He will be alright with me." I don't remember the names mentioned.

"Alright…" he said.

I hear the door shut and the person holding says to me, "You are my boy now. No one else's. Mine." She kisses me on my cheek and takes me to a different room.

End of Memory

He did mention this. He did say that my mother said it was for the best and he did mention that Alice said to not worry.

I don't know what to make of all this…

"I don't know, father." I smiled playfully to him.

His eyes widened and grabbed my shoulders, "You believe me? Oh my, you do! You do!"

He hugged me tightly and just then the door opens and entered a woman with brown hair and a guy around fifteen with blonde hair.

"Dad?" said the guy that I am guessing is Jason.

"Oh… um… Jason." The captain stuttered as he let me go. That is when I noticed I was almost out of breath. I began to cough and take deep breaths. "Sorry."

When he made sure I was fine he walked over to his wife, I'm guessing. She looks like how he described her. "Honey. Meet our lost Percy."

I stood up straight and met her eyes. They were beautifully brown and filling up with question. She walked over me and "checked me out".

"Percy, she is your mother." said my father and Jason at the same time. I laughed. A good laugh and that is when my mother held my face in her hands and touched my cheek.

"It's you, you are him." Her eyes were filling up with tears. "My baby, my little boy, my Percy."

"Yeah." I said. She hugged me and I drew circles on her back. I rested my head on her shoulders and I felt a spark, a connection. "Mom…"

That last part came out of the no where and she hugged me tighter.

"Percy?" I turned and saw the blonde guy getting closer. My mother let go of me and I walked to him. "Hey, cousin. I'm Jason."

I held out his hand for me to shake. I did. "Hey."

He had blonde hair electric, blue eyes and clear skin. He seemed like a cool guy. "One cousin down, one more to go. And then we can fight over silly things."

He laughed and we joined.

He held out his arms for me to hug him and I accepted.

"Welcome home, Percy." he told me.

When we pulled apart a girl came in. Reyna.

"Is everything right, now?" she sighed as if she did all the work.

We all nodded.

"Good!" she laughed and ran straight to me and tackled me with a hug causing us to fall on the floor. She didn't let go even though we were on the floor.

"Little bunny!" complained Jason. "Don't scare him away! We barely got him back!"

He help us up and then I said, "Little bunny?"

"Yeah, I'll explain later." said Jason.

I smiled. "I have to get going. I need to see someone right now."

All of they're eyes widened and I knew what they were thinking. I blushed.

"Oh my my, Little Percy has a girlfriend!' Reyna mocked. "Go on then. Don't make her wait."

"Actually, she doesn't know I'll be wai—" I started but I couldn't finished because I was already kicked out of the room.

"Okay…" I whispered to myself.

Annabeth Chase-Norwood

What am I going to do now…?

Luke just gave a huge necklace to me as a symbol of commitment. I am more stuck that ever.

I need Percy, now. I want to see him now.

Perfect I found him.

"Hey. You wouldn't believe what I just found out about my family history." He told me, a smile plastered on his face.

I decided to tell him later. "What?"

He pulled me to a nearby bench and sat me down. "I am the captain's lost son. I found my father!"

My eyes widened. "The captain's son? Really? I did not see that coming."

He laughed, "Me neither. He came to me and asked me if he could talk to me. And he just came out and said it. Of course I didn't believe him at first but then he told me the story of how he lost me and my sister and the puzzle became complete."

He told me the rest of the details and then I proposed something to him that I don't know where it came from.

"Remember when you showed me your drawings?"

He nodded.

"I want you too draw me like your French girls." I closed in to his face, almost near his lips.

"What?"

"You heard me. Drawing. Now." I said as he was about to kiss me but I quickly grabbed his hand and guided him to my room.

Yay! That part is getting closer! LOL! My friend was about to help in that but I said that I might be able to do it. Lets see how it goes! lol :)
