Valencia's house-Max's P.O.V

My mom seemed to become very fond of Percy, Thalia, and Grover. If Angel and Thalia hadn't told him to get ready to rest I would have because he looked ready to keel over at any second. Lucky for everyone Percy must have been too tired to protest because after I handed him his pajamas he let my mom take him to the bathroom. I will be happy when we all can take a long rest and then head to return Percy home.

"He's such a gentlemen." Mom said as she walked into the room. I saw Grover and Thalia silently chuckle giving each other a Yeah, that's totally true' looks. "How did you meet him and his friends here?"

I sighed, "Mom, the School is getting even more drastic."

"What do you mean?" She questioned quickly.

"They kidnapped Percy from New York." I told her. Tears came to her eyes as she placed a hand over her mouth. "When they got him to the School they hollowed out his bones and then made him grow his own wings."

Thalia looked livid and I was just giving the not detailed version of what happened. Grover sniffled slightly and seemed to be blaming everything that happened to Percy on himself.

"You are a great Protector Grover," Angel told the satyr. "Percy would agree."

"Thanks." Grover muttered. "But I'm not that good, after all I can barely keep track of him. And he's nearly died a lot."

Thalia cupped Grover on the back of the head, "Shut up Goat boy, you're a great Protector."

"Tell that to your dad, no offence to him." Grover quietly. A phone rang stopping the argument from growing further. Ella pulled out a pink flower covered cell phone.

"Oh it must be, Caroline." My half-sister beamed. "I have to tell her to come over so she can meet Iggy."

She ran down the hallway with her dark brown hair flowing behind her. Mom sighed lightly as she went into the kitchen after a moment she came back with some pizza coupons. "What would you guys like?"

"Anything you order Valencia as long as it doesn't involve fish or pineapples." Percy said as he walked into the room. He hadn't put his pajama top on yet, it was still in the nook of his arm, he had the pajama bottoms on and was drying his hair. "Uh…Max this is kind of an embarrassing question, but…"

"Hand me the shirt." I told him as I reached out. He placed it in my hand and set the towel on his lap when he sat. He lifted his arms and I slipped the shirt on over his head and around his dark, silky wings. "Didn't you say something about automatically becoming dry?"

He smiled, "After all of the un-normal things I've done, I still appreciate the little things that I can do to make me feel somewhat normal."

"I see." It made sense that he'd want to at least act like a normal kid at times. He yawned and lounged back on the couch. "Yeah mom, I agree with Percy, you're the host."

Mom laughed, "But it's not every day I get to help you and your friends out."

"Well, Valencia," Percy said as he played with his thumbs nervously. "Would you mind if one of those pizzas only had cheese and vegetables on it?"

"I don't mind at all Percy." Mom smiled at him and grabbed the phone. "How many pizzas?"

"You shouldn't order too many mom." I spoke quietly. "The School might be monitoring your phone ya' know."

She rolled her eyes, "You guys need to eat so I'll order five."

I would have protested more, but she was already heading to the kitchen to order. I sighed trying to figure out if I wanted to try and stop her or just let her go through with ordering. Fang patted me reassuringly on the back. Can I say that sparks shot through my body as he touched me?

"Don't worry, Max. Your mom is smart she'll know what to do." He assured me as he took the empty place beside me on the couch. "Besides it isn't often she gets to see you."

I nodded in agreement, "Okay who is cleaning up next, Percy shouldn't be the only one smelling like a sea breeze."

Thalia, Grover, and even Percy laughed at my comment. The others caught onto my reference a little slower but they laughed all the same. Fang nudged me and smiled one of his soft rare smiles, "How about you go first Max you smell like you've been living in a boxer's gym bag."

I shoved him gently and grabbed my grey owl pajamas from the bag that Athena had given us. The layout of the house was still fresh in my mind considering I did spend a little time wondering what it would have been like to be a normal girl like Ella. I went in and cleaned up fairly quickly. It felt good to have two showers within a week again. In moments I was dry, clean, and heading back to the living room to the others.

Percy had fallen asleep in one of the most uncomfortable positions I've ever seen anyone sleep in. His head was leaning back against the couch and drool was going down his cheek. He had to have been an adorable little kid. I smiled at him and returned to my spot next to him on the couch. The movement caused him to lean over and his head rested on my lap.

I sighed and adjusted him so he'd at least be in a less awkward position. Fang chuckled at me (I think I heard him call me Momma Max again) and I felt my cheeks heat up. "Go take a shower Fang, you smell like death."

"No that would be my cousin Nico." Thalia told me as she looked at Percy fondly. "I could take him if you want me to."

"Na, its fine." I said as I absently began to fix Percy's silky black hair. "This happens with Angel or Gazzy all of the time, I'm use to taking care of my family."

"Just be careful." Grover warned. "I can tell you are more sisterly to Percy now, but Annabeth gets easily jealous of any girl she feels would take him away."

"I wouldn't ever do anything like that to her or Percy." I said. "Even when he's asleep he is thinking about her."

"I love you too Annabeth." Percy murmured with a slight chuckle. Thalia shook her head with a smile,

"Who would have thought my very best friend would fall for my adopted brother."

"You've really become attached to him haven't you Thalia?" Grover teased. Thalia blushed and punched him in the arm, but never denied that what he said was true.

"Aww, Isn't that sweet." My mom cooed. She smiled as she looked at me and Percy. "The pizza will be here in a half an hour."

"Thanks mom."

Mom continued to look at Percy for another moment, "I bet his mother really loves him."

"Oh she dose, Valencia." Grover told her. "When he went missing the first time she actually, er, called on Percy's dad and demanded why he didn't protect Percy better."

"You make it sound as if he could have." Mom said.

"Well his dad could have protected him if someone hadn't of waited until Percy's dad was at his busiest to take Percy from under his nose." Thalia explained. She sounded very, very bitter when she had said 'someone'. Kind of how I would if you asked me to talk about Jeb. "You have no idea how horribly both Mrs. Jackson and my friend Annabeth took him disappearing."

"I'm sorry," Mom apologized. "I didn't mean to question anything."

"It's okay, Valencia." Grover told her. "Losing Percy was hard on all of us, and we had just gotten him back when the school took him from us."

I continued to run my hand through the young demigod's hair as he slept. Fang quietly went to take his shower. Percy began to snore softly which indicated that he had finally fallen into a deep sleep. Thalia laughed and leaned forward to help me sooth Percy's unruly hair. Fang was quick when he took his shower and was back in the living room.

"Guess I'm next." Iggy said as he walked out of the room to the bathroom. I was sure he'd find it alright on his own, even if he couldn't actually see.

Nudge after so long of being quiet spoke up, "I call the next shower, I'm exhausted. Ohhh Percy is soooo cute when he is sleeping. Do you think we should take a picture? I think I want a picture of this."

"That's kind of creepy, Nudge." I pointed out. She blushed crimson and bowed her head sheepishly.

"Sorry it's just he looks so much younger when he's asleep." She stammered. "He just seems like someone that everyone would give anything to protect."

Thalia tapped her finger on her nose and winked, "You hit the nail on the head kid, and I'd give anything if it meant he'd be safe."

"It's just a matter if he'd let you." Grover said. "We'd all give anything to protect Percy because he'd give anything to protect us, remember just a few weeks ago…"

"Yes, Grover," Thalia cut him off with tears in her eyes. "I don't think anyone could forget that day."

"NO!" Percy grunted softly as he shifted, his brow furrowed, and he was shaking. "Leave me alone!"

The house started trembling; picture frames fell from walls and shelves, the sink began to release water and the water floated to us through the air. Nudge and Gazzy hugged each other in fear of the shaking earth, Angel grabbed onto Fang's leg for dear life, Grover and Thalia looked at each other nervously, and my mom put herself under a coffee table. I sat there trying to calm the fearful demigod. He was shivering as if he were freezing, his face paled to white.

"Percy, wake up." I whispered as I stroked his hair. "It's just a nightmare wake up."

He wouldn't wake up. He continued to shiver, turn, and cry out with fright. Tears began to stream down his face and it broke my heart. I nudged him slightly trying to arouse him, but he remained locked in the dark place that held him captive in his own mind. Please I begged silentlyWake up Percy.

"Let me take him." Thalia said as she stood uneasily. It took a moment but she quickly got over to us. I lifted Percy's head and moved from under him. Thalia was quick to replace my position. She soothed his hair. "Shhhhh, its okay Percy."

"We have to do something, he's going to bring the whole house down." Grover told us.

"I think I know how." Thalia whispered and then took in a deep breath. "The rain is falling the stars are gone, but don't be afraid, I sing this song to calm your soul and give peace, hush little one, hush little one, my love for you is going strong, never shall you fall, the storm may rage just out the door and whistle hollow tunes, hush my sweet one, hush my sweet one, soon the day will come."

Thalia didn't strike me as one to sing, but remarkably her song worked and Percy calmed down. We all stared at her amazed, I couldn't calm him down. Tears came to Thalia's eyes as she kissed Percy's forehead (which I didn't expect her to do).

"How did you know that would work?" Grover asked in awe.

"Well after what happened a few weeks ago." Thalia said in a watery voice. "And I use to sing this song to Jason when he woke up with a nightmare and mom was too drunk to help him."

"What was that?" Ella asked as she walked into the room.

"Percy was having a nightmare." Grover said as he glanced nervously at the now calmly sleeping demigod.

"I was talking about the earthquake." She enlighten him.

"Ella, Percy caused the earthquake." I told her.

My sister's eyes widened, "The School is getting that powerful?"

I shook my head at her, "He had that power before they did anything to him."

She and mom both looked as if I said tomorrow it was going to rain fish. I sighed because this was going to be very hard to explain. Trying my best I explained everything that Percy had told me. Grover and Thalia filled in stuff that I hadn't told them well. By the end of our story Ella was staring wide eyed at Percy.

"He's that powerful."

I nodded, "Yeah, he only told us part of what he could do."

The bell rang suddenly making us all jump except Percy who was still asleep. Mom went to answer the door. After a few seconds she came back with six boxes of pizza and a bunch of paper plates. Didn't she say she was only going to order five? The look she gave me told me to just let it go because she was going to feed us as much as she wanted. I smiled and mouthed 'thank you'.

"Hey, Kelp Head." Thalia whispered as she nudged her cousin gently. "Food's here wake up and eat something."

Percy slowly opened his beautiful green eyes and looked up at Thalia. She gave him an awkward hug and I could hear her whispering something into his ear. His eyes widened and he whispered something back before he finally sat up. He shifted his eyes to mom first and looked at her remorsefully.

"Sorry Valencia, I'll help you clean up the house." He apologized as he tried to stand, but his legs gave out and he plopped down onto the couch again. "As soon as my legs are willing to work for me."

He tried to stand up again, but this time Thalia pulled him back onto the couch, "You can help clean up later."

"Yeah Percy," mom told him. "Its fine the house didn't get messy at all."

Thalia quickly made him a plate and set it on his lap, "Eat or I'll make you."

Percy bit into his pizza and ate quickly. Iggy came back into the room and soon we were all eating freshly baked pizza. We all remained mindful of mom and Ella. Percy finished eating and after washing his face and hands fell asleep again. The others followed until it was just me sitting in the living room. I walked into the bathroom, after careful to avoid my sleeping flock, and opened up Annabeth's diary.

After carefully shuffling through it I found the next entry.

June 18 2007

After a while Chiron and Percy caught up with me. Percy reminded me of Thalia in ways. He has the same black hair and troublemaker demeanor. Maybe he is her half-brother, after all Zeus had Thalia, but somehow he seemed different then her. My mentor told me to help introduce Percy to his possibly temporary cabin mates. He tripped and I could tell that if I didn't get him out of there soon he'd be dead meat. Although seeing Luke was really, really nice.

I told Percy to follow me and dragged him out of the cabin. After a long time of explaining the life of a demigod he still didn't get it. I was about to try again, but Clarisse had other plans. Percy handed me the Minotaur horn and was dragged by the large girl to the bathrooms. I feared the worst and sat at the entrance waiting for her to get done with tormenting Percy, but the strangest thing happened.

The room rumbled and water shot out of the toilet into Clarisse's face. She and her sisters screamed as the water pushed them out of the bathroom. The water hit me as well, but never tried to force me away from him. After a long moment it was just me and Percy left in the room. The most surprising thing about the situation was that Percy was sitting in the only dry place in the room.

He and I walked out of the bathroom and I could tell that Clarisse absolutely hated him and a new strategy for capture the flag hit me. Athena always has a plan ;)

June 21 2007

I spent the last few days teaching Percy accent Greek. He caught on fairly quickly, when he actually wanted to pay attention. Connor and Travis told me that he actually beat Luke with an extremely hard maneuver on his first try. Maybe Percy knows more then he let on, but I knew he had no idea of what I was planning on for tonight. When Chiron called the beginning of the game I sent Percy to the river away from the flag.

I let Luke get the enemy flag and went back to help Percy, but was surprised to see that he was already taking them down. The Ares kids were retreating. It was a hard thing to admit, but I was actually impressed by his technique it was as he had been fighting his whole life, maybe even longer. I asked him how he did it and he explained that falling in the water gave him energy and I had an idea of who his father was and it was definitely not Zeus.

I wondered why Percy's father had to be himout of all the gods. I was actually beginning to think I liked him and then this happens. Everyone was celebrating the victory, but suddenly a canine growl pierced the silence. Just as Chiron got his bow a hellhound appeared above me and Percy on a rock. Its eyes were locked onto Percy and I knew what it wanted.

I told Percy to run, but the monster was too quick and soon it was slicing into Percy's breastplate and ripping into his skin. Thankfully Chiron was quick and he killed the beast, but it left Percy badly wounded on the ground. Chiron was trying to help Percy, but like an idiot Percy said he was fine. I decided to test my theory on who his father was and told Percy to get into the water. As soon as he was in the cuts started disappearing, but we all were focusing on the green trident above Percy's head as he was apologizing for healing himself. Percy Jackson was the demigod son of Poseidon and the prince of the sea.

June 23, 2007

I was beginning to feel bad for Percy. Between me glaring at him and everyone avoiding him he was all alone. Maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought, no, that's stupid, he is a seaweed brain son of Poseidon and I am a daughter of Athena, we could never be friends. Although Grover pointed out that I was becoming friends with him before I knew who his father was I still blew it off. Of course when I was just beginning to like someone my own age Poseidon had to go and claim him.

Grover told me that Chiron was going to send Percy on a quest for Percy's own safety. If that Seaweed brain was going then so was I and I eagerly told Chiron that I wanted to join Percy on his quest and he agreed. I listened as Percy talked to Chiron and Grover, he went upstairs, and then came down and told the prophecy. I was glad that Percy wanted to include Grover in the quest. Chiron told Percy that I was joining them and he sent us to pack.

We waited on the hill until Argus brought the van up. Luke met us with his super model good looks and gave me a hug and Percy a pair of flying sneakers which was so sweet of him. Percy seemed to realize that he couldn't use them anyway so he gave them to Grover who was superexcited about having a magical item of his own. Chiron gave Percy the sword that Poseidon had said was meant for someone special. I guess that seaweed brain is all kinds of special at the moment.

We road with Argus until we reached a bus stop and waited. Percy and Grover had talked about something for a moment and then we began to play Hackensack with an apple until Grover ate the apple. When he did that Percy and I just laughed together. The beginning of our quest was great until the furies came onto the bus after we got on. I knew that they'd be after Percy so I gave him my Yankees cap that could turn the wearer invisible and told him to get off of the bus.

He was reluctant at first, but he finally accepted my demand and disappeared. Grover and I fought them. They kept asking 'where isit?' not 'where ishe?' the bus suddenly turned and the furies hit the window then the bus stopped and the civilians ran off of the bus. Percy shouted and the furies turned on him when they saw him turn visible again. He was such a seaweed brain I told him to hide…..

We escaped the furies and got off of the bus with minimal injury and we found 'aunty ems garden emporium'. The owner of the place was really nice and hadreally good food, but when she knew my name before I had introduced myself I finally agreed with Grover's suspicion and wanted to leave. The only problem with that was that Percy was under a trance, I hadn't realized it, but she was always eyeing Percy. She and Percy talked us into a taking a picture, only when we were outside did the seaweed brain start to wake from the trance.

I got both him and Grover out of the way before she could turn them to stone, but Percy was still groggy from her trance and she was nearly on top of him. It was painful to watch as he tried to get away, but I couldn't fight what I couldn't see. The grosses thing about her is that she was practically drooling about how much he looked like his father, trying to convince Percy to let her turn him to stone. Grover distracted her long enough that I could tell Percy what to do and Percy cut off her head.

List of monsters Percy has killed so far

I should never underestimate him. He is more powerful then he seems.

I finished the longest entry I've read I decided to go to bed. Slowly picking my way through my flock I found my open space next to the couch and lied down. Percy's hand was hanging limply down from off of the couch. He twitched every once in a while. I grabbed his hand and soothed the tense muscle.

"Good-night everyone." Angel whispered as my eyes closed.
