This is chapter 11. I told you I would try to post more often ;).
Anyway, I don't own any Percy Jackson all credit goes to Rick Riordan.
On with the story...
Gaea POV
"Kronos, have you found our new demigod helper yet?" I asked
"Of course, I found a power hungry demigod, but the demigod can be a bit arrogant." Kronos replied
"Aren't all demigods, just like their parents" I chuckled. "Anyway, if he's arrogant he will fall into the trap, like all the other demigods did" I continued.
It was quiet for a few seconds.
"Will the demigod be suspected" I asked.
"There is a chance that some will. However most won't." Kronos said
"Good Job, Kronos, Hopefully we will win this time" I laughed.
Poseidon POV
To say I was shocked was an understatement. I kept opening my mouth to speak to him but no words came out. I was overjoyed that I had finally found my lost son. But would he still be the same. Have I actually found him or have I just found his body? He won't be the same as he was all those years ago. He had been broken into a million pieces and we didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. I'm meant to be his dad. What have I ever done for him though. I ignored him for 12 years and about 4 years later I betrayed him by acting like I replaced him with another son. Which I did do.
A million things went through my mind about all the things I did wrong. Now that he was here maybe I could make amends. I need to apologize to him I need to talk to him.
No body spoke. What were we meant to say. I looked around and realized that Zack wasn't here but he never really came to these meeting because we usually talk about Percy.
"Percy will need time." Charlie finally spoke.
"How long have you known it was him?" I heard Beckondorf say quietly.
It was silent for half a minute. Charlie looked at James. They seemed to share the look. Charlie turned back towards the rest of the room.
"I have known it was him since he was recruited... James found out it was him since he was recruited which was a few months after Percy."
"Wait, how come he never told us?" Zoe asked. We all knew she meant the soldiers he had recruited.
"He was under strict orders by Lord Chaos not to tell anyone, not even his old friends." James said quite seriously.
"Wait a minute, why is Percy in Lord Chaos' army wasn't he like the hero of Olympus?" Michael Yew asked. I looked down.
"He was the hero" Charlie said with a sigh. Charlie looked like he was going to say something but he just looked around the room.
"James why don't you take the soldiers back to camp and tell them what happened... I assume the gods and a few of the campers want to talk to me."He stated.
Annabeth POV
It was true. I wanted to ask so many questions. Things I have wondered for hundreds of years and a million more now that I know. But where to start? I didn't even know if I could speak. It felt like my voice was gone. Tears stung my eyes but none were shed. I looked down and looked back up again. Charlie was staring at me. Many emotions were in his eyes. Anger, sympathy, hurt and what seemed like forgiveness. Then his stare hardened, showing no emotion. He turned his stare to someone else. After 10 minutes the only people in the room were the Gods, Immortal campers, all the people who betrayed Percy and Charlie.
We sat in silence for a few minutes. What were we meant to say. No one had any words. Not even the Goddess of Wisdom, who always seemed to either have questions or answers and always said or asked them. I took a few deep breathes getting ready to try and say something. Thalia beat me to it.
"How has he been since..." He voice trailed off.
This felt horrible. How hard it must be on everyone else. Percy was Thalia's cousin, they might have fought but they always laughed about it later. Nico, Percy was like an older brother to him. Grover, his best friend who he has known for years. Katie and him had been close friends. Tyson his brother. Leo and him hadn't even known each other long but they were friends. Even Clarisse and him had seemed to get along in their own way.
What about Camp Jupiter. They didn't even know yet.
"Percy has been through a lot. Since he joined, all he's done is thrown himself into his training and his missions. Trying to forget all of you. It doesn't matter how hard he tries, he will never forget" Charlie said.
Charlie started to shift his weight from foot to foot. Then he spoke again.
"Coming back here is a big step for him." He paused. " Maybe you could try and make amends" He finished whilst turning around and walking away.
He left us silenced. His words going through my mind. He's thrown himself into training. Tried to forget but failed, he will never forget. Maybe you can make amends. He said maybe does that mean we might not be able to. No, I'm not going to think like that. I'm not going to shy away. We're going to do anything to make it up to him.
Grover POV
I was crying. I don't care if it makes me look like a wimp or a baby. Yes, I regret everything that I did, you don't have to ask that question twice. Juniper was by my side. She slid her hand into mine. She squeezed my hand. I looked up at her and gave her a slight smile.
I had always dreamed that this day would happen but I never knew it would be this hard. The empathy link had been broken years ago.
Zues cleared his throat.
"Why don't we all meet up at camp tomorrow morning."
We all bowed and walked out. We all got on the bus and headed back to camp half blood.
So that's it for now. I know this chapter was a bit depressing. Tell me what you thought and I will have a new chapter up soon... Maybe next week end. Not sure yet. I'll try to get it up asap ;) Please review and give me your opinion.
