Percy's POV
"Ummmm...Hi!" I said with a wave as everyone lifted their weapons. Before my brain could even process what was going on, my instinct forced me to move to the right. I didn't even have enough time to process that the mortals tried to shoot me before my instincts acted again and I dropped to the floor to avoid another bullet.
After my short moment of shock, I regained my senses and glanced up to see that thalia had grabbed her bow and was about to shoot it. Time seemed to slow down as I watched helplessly as the arrow flew through the air… Straight towards the red head with the gun. The one that shot me. The arrow came closer and closer towards her. My eyes widened as I prepared my brain for the gruesome sight that will take place once the arrow found it's target… But it never came. Instead of hitting her like it was supposed to, the arrow soared past her and instead embedded itself into her gun. I could here the small clink of metal as the arrow pierced the metal of the gun, pinning it to the wall.
We all looked at the wall in shock before turning to an angry Thalia. We could tell that she had a million thoughts running through her head at an amazing rate… Although I would bet you anything that those thoughts aren't the nicest. They aren't even near nice. Before she could say something out of anger that would jeopardize our mission, I spoke, "We come in peace!". I lifted my hands in a surrendering way.
"Who the hell are you and what the heck are you doing here!" The dude at the front of the table who looked to be the leader spoke. He had an eye patch on. Was it supposed to make him look cool? To me, it just makes him look like a pirate. Well, I guess pirates are cool, but that's not the point.
Then I did the unthinkable, I let my ADHD show by saying, "Are you supposed to be a pirate?" My eyes widened. I can't believe I actually said that. I opened my mouth to correct my error, but one of the men standing by Leo beat me to it.
"See Nick, even the criminals agree that you look like a pirate!" I had to put my hand over my mouth to prevent myself from laughing. I failed miserably. My laugh escaped my lips and refused to come back in. When I was finally able to convince my mouth to stop laughing, I looked around to see everyone, even my friends, staring at me like I was some weirdo or something. Okay, I might be a weirdo, but they should at least have the decency to pretend that I wasn't!
I looked back over at pirate dude to see that he was completely ignoring the man's comment and was staring at me like I murdered his grandma or something. I'm pretty sure that I haven't been involved in grandma murdering lately so I can only assume that he was mad at me for some other reason. I decided to voice my opinions.
"Umm… Pirate dude… Why are you staring at me like I murdered your grandmother? I assure you, I have had no part in any grandma murders recently."
"Recently?" I turned to see a man near the red head with a bow and arrow in his hand and I would bet anything that he knew how to use it.
I rolled my eyes. "Look, I swear on the river synx that I have never murdered a mortal grandmother in my life." As I made the oath, I put my right hand over my heart and my left hand into the air Everyone stared at me with mixed feelings and uncertainty. "What? Did I do something wrong?" I asked them.
"What do you mean by 'Mortal'?" The pirate dude narrowed his one eye creepily. It was very weird. I couldn't help but look at the remaining eye in abis. I wonder how he lost it. Did he even lose it? Is this just a new fashion trend? I sure hope not.
I looked over and saw that the hammer dude was looking at me oddly. "You speak like an Asgardian, yet you do not look like one. Who are you?"
"Well…" I started glancing at the others. How do I put this? Do I just say 'I'm a demigod' or what? I saw that thalia was nodding at me to continue. "Well, you see…" I trailed off thinking of a proper way to word this.
"Well, we see what?" This guy in the back answered. He looked like the American flag threw up on him. To my horror, I let my ADHD show… Again.
"Why do you look like the American flag and a body builder's son? And a matching frisbee? Really?"
Every single person in the room was looking at me like I was a complete weirdo. What? It's the truth.
"OH MY GOSH! You kid, are my new favorite person!"
"Really? Awesome! I'm a stranger's favorite person. I've always wanted to be loved by a complete stranger who I don't even know the name of!" I exclaimed in excitement. I mean, who doesn't want to be the favorite person of a complete stranger. Unless the stranger is an obsessed stalker. Trust me, I have a couple at school.
"WAIT A MINUTE, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR FAVORITE PERSON! I'M YOUR NEPHEW!" I saw an upset Leo yell at the stalker man and I.
"HA! Someone likes me more than Leo, someone likes me more than Leo, Someone likes me more than Leo…" I chanted. Finally, Team Leo was getting on my nerves. It was about time that people started to join Team Percy again. You know, that doesn't sound right. How about…. Pack Percy. You know, I like that. Pack Percy. Pack Percy is soooooo much better than Team Leo. Mine rhymes, so ha.
"Stop Stalling, Now tell as what you are before I release Thor on you. and that won't be pretty." eye patch dude yelled at me.
"Okay, Okay, No need to be hostile!" I yelled as I raised my hands in surrender. "Well, you see, we are kind of…. you know… Half god."
I am so sorry for not updating. And this time, I have no excuse. I'm just really lazy. My goal is to update before Christmas. Honestly, I'm not very happy about this chapter. It's definitely one of my worst. This is the third chapter I have written tonight and I feel really beat ( I was updating a Werewolf book on wattpad that I have). I hope that the next chapter will be out soon, but there are no promises. It's 12:12 where I am at right now so I'm going to bed. Please, review. the more comments I get, the faster I will update.
I just want to let you guys know that it is all thanks to Korina (guest) for the update. She wrote" "Hopefully the next chapter will be soon," It's almost Christmas. Where's the next chapter?" and it made me realize that I owe y'all an update. I have had half a chapter done for at least a month.
Please review!
Team Leo
Or
Pack Percy
WHO WILL WIN?
