Disclaimer: I sent a letter to Rick Riordan, asking for all of the rights for anything Percy Jackson and here are the results!
*waves an envelope* well I don't have anything to lose... *opens envelope*
Dang it! I guess I really don't own anything.
XI. Charlie
Having breakfast with six kids armed with swords and eventually a grown man, who wasn't wearing pants and had goat legs (literally), horns and was carrying a club was not something Charlie ever imagined himself doing. Ever.
For Charlie and Mr. Goat, they had pulled up two extra chairs, even though there were two empty ones right at the table. Must be where Perscy and Annebeth had sat.
Charlie felt self-conscious, it seemed like everyone was waiting for him to burst into flames, like Leo. "So, ...uh Charlie was it? ... How come you were with those…uh women?" Frank tried to be the icebreaker. Charlie didn't want to tell him. "Look what ever your trying to do, please, just stop this little play, please?" Charlie begged, he was tired of all of this. "I wish it was a play." Leo muttered. "Usually you go to camp and they explain it or your parent does, but I'd like to start of by asking, do you have ADHD or dyslexia?" Piper asked calmly and he felt obligated to answer for some reason. "Yes." And a lot of hallucinations. He almost added.
"How about your parents? And do you see strange things sometimes, like monsterish-strange?" Everybody has to ask about the parents. Oh my parents are gazillion airs! What about yours? "Yes." He only answered the second question. Why listen to people bragging about their parents? "And your parents?" she urged. Hazel already had a good idea about his family so he couldn't lie. "My dad is gone and my mom hates me." He answered with no emotion. Not the place to get made fun of.
"Ugh, this is boring! I'm going to go watch wrestling on TV. And I need a repair on my door, boy." Mr. Goat pointed at Leo at the last part. "Meet any more monsters get me!" At that he pointed at Nico and took his plate full of tin cans back to his room. "Your dad, have you meant him?" Piper sure did know the pressure points. And man was she hitting them hard! Just forget about me! He almost said but he stopped himself. "No. And look, I don't believe in your gods, so stop calling me half god because I'm not!" He snapped.
"Wow that went faster than I thought it would." Frank noted. "I'm glad I stayed. This is a lot more fun than getting bad news about my ship." Leo said. "Look calm down. We are all children of the gods. Leo for example is a son of Hephaestus, the Greek god of the forges. Frank is a child of Mars, Roman god of war." Wait did she say Greek and Roman? "So what your saying is my dad is some random god from some random ancient culture?"
"No he's either Greek or Roman."
"How do you know I'm a child of a Greek or Roman god?"
"Well, have you been kick out of any schools, museums, etc. for strange things happening?"
"Yes."
"Okay, no dad and never met him, diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, and you see monsters. It's all the signs I need. Although I don't know who your dad is or if you're Greek or Roman."
"If you're all children of the gods then who are the rest of your parents?"
"My dad is Jupiter." Jason answered. Jupiter like the planet? "My dad's Pluto." Hazel announced. Pluto? Are all the Roman gods named after planets? Well technically Pluto was a dwarf planet...
"You probably remember mine." Nico assumed.
"My mom's Aphrodite" Piper finished.
"I'm going to go check with Festus." Leo announced. He left mumbling something about spheres. Charlie was so tempted to asked about the Percy-Annabeth thing he would have, if the ship hadn't started falling out of the sky.
A/N Like the last chapter says, no update Friday and I doubt I'll be able to update tomorrow. So have nice life for the next about four days, hopefully less.
