Percy's POV

We met at the restaurant just on time. I kept shooting glares at Grover and Nico for ruining my and Annabeth's kiss. To say the rest of our stay at the library was awkward would be an understatement.

It was a relief to see the others again. That is until they filled us in on how the island pretty much hated us and we have to climb a mountain.

"Why does it have to be a mountain, Why not just a Wal-Mart or a park?" Grover groans still not happy about his lack of sleep last night. He apparently could not sleep on planes.

"At least we know where it is, we just have to follow the smoke." Frank says pointing at the mountain where some smoke rose, that would be just enough for a camp fire.

After packing some of the necessities we head off in the direction of the 'creepy old guy's house'.

That night I lay in my sleeping bag starring up at the sky, part of me wishing to be back home. I play absently with the river next to camp. The water shoots well over 200 feet in the air.

"Entertaining yourself?" Annabeth asks sliding her sleeping bag closer to mine. "Percy, what's on your mind?" she asks her grey eyes trying to meet my green.

"I wish I was back home with my family but yet I am happy to be here with my friends. It's hard Annabeth for the past two years I have avoided you guys and now I'm back. It brings back the point that someday I will have to say goodbye. You all will die. I will become a god and watch as all of you age and leave. It just doesn't seem fair. I never told my Dad but after I got back from camp, I had attempted suicide. It wouldn't work. It would weaken me but it wouldn't kill me. Apollo knows he didn't say anything, thank the gods, otherwise if my dad had found out he would make me immortal that day. I don't even know if I want to be immortal. Forever is a long time Annabeth. Especially if you have to watch everybody you once knew die." I tell her not meeting her eyes just staring into space.

"Can't you just say no?"

"Could you? They are my family Annabeth and I love them. I don't know if I could, it would crush them. Not to mention that I would make a great deal of powerful enemies. I don't know if it would matter anyway. In a couple months I will stop aging and I can't die, so what would be the point? I would still have to watch my friends die and I would have a furious family. I hate it, Annabeth. Why couldn't I just be normal? Why can't I be a regular demigod? My life would be so much easier. Why did my mom have to die? Why can't I? Why do people have to act like this is some kind of gift? If watching people you care about die and being constantly at danger and having to be raised at a warrior is a gift, then I want a refund…"

"Percy, stop!" Annabeth yells just as I notice that I had lost control and the earth was cracking, trees were falling into the holes, water had started to touch were we lay, the river was flooding. I grab Nico's sleeping bag and pull him away just as the ground beneath him collapses.

"What is going on?" Nico asks climbing out of his sleeping bag as the others do the same and come stand beside me and Annabeth.

"Percy, did you do this?" Frank asks his mouth wide open in shock as he watches earth shatter and rushing water come flying at us.

"I haven't lost control like this in a while, I'm sorry you guys." I apologize just as a rock comes down from no where and knocks out Grover.

"Sorry about that." I apologize again trying to get control again. I manage to slow the flooding and stop some of the rocks from flying though the air. I couldn't get my emotions under control. I might as well be holding up a giant 'I am over here' sign to my enemies.

Just when I thought I got it under some control, chaos happened. My dad did say my abilities would be developing A LOT in the next few months but I didn't know he meant this.

Tress burst into fire, the river was no longer a river, more of a lake and quickly rising, random dead people started charging my friends, well other dead people (skeletons) fought the other dead people, I could hear every thought that went through my friends heads, a surge of wind came up knocking over trees, all types of blood thirsty animals charged my friends (everything from bears to bunnies) and then it started to rain.

"Percy, are you doing this?!" Jason asks fighting a dead solider and trying to keep a blood thirsty dog away.

I didn't reply. I know I had. This was all me and it could possibly kill my friends. My dad had said that I would get abilities from almost every god and goddess. Right now I wished Uncle Hades would have kept his just as one dead solider tried to take Hazel's head off. Nico was trying to send as many of the dead back t the Underworld but every one he sent back two more appeared.

I take a breath trying to fight off the panic, fear, self hatred and anger. Instead I focus on calming myself and controlling everything around me. Slowly fires went out, animals ran up to me to be pet before running off, the dead solders sank into the earth, the river went back to being a river, rocks stopped flying, the wind calmed down and the frantic thoughts of my friends went from yells to whispers.

"I'm so sorry." I tell them helping Grover to his feet and avoiding all eye contact.

"You did that. You almost killed us. What in Hades is wrong with you?" Grover asks rubbing his head and glaring at me.

"Sorry, my powers are now coming in fully and I lost control. I didn't do it on purpose. It just happens sometimes. Athena said it would be happening more often as it gets closer to my birthday. I am working on controlling it. We are just lucky it wasn't worse." I apologize, feeling like a freak.

"Worse! You mean it could have been worse!" Grover yells getting angry but I could tell in his mind he was actually just scared.

"Yes, somebody could have been killed. It won't happen again and if it does I'll try to make sure…." I get cut off when a voice interrupts me.

"What is going on over here?" An older voice from above us asks. An older guy in jeans and nasty looking button down shirt asks. He has white hair that just reaches the neckline of his shirt and a beard. "I haven't seen this much power sense 1968 when… why it's Poseidon's son Percy Jackson, the strongest demigod to ever live. No wonder there is so much power here. I have heard many whispers about you boy. You're all the creatures are talking about, sometimes I even hear the dead whispering things." He grins at me and walks over shaking my hand before turning to my friends.

"Son of Jupiter, Jason, Nico, son of Hades, Hazel, daughter of Pluto, Leo, son of Hephaestus, and who might you two be?" he asks looking at Annabeth and Grover interested.

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, sir."

"Grover." Grover grumbles, still rubbing his head.

"Very well now please follow me, I have been expecting you and we must go before my brother finds us, he never was right in the head. I am Merlin." He says giving us a smile.

"Merlin, as in the wizard and King Arthur?" Frank asks confused.

"Maybe I was him, maybe I wasn't, but we Greeks have had affects of all cultures haven't we?" He asks with a twinkle in his eyes.

We follow him up to the mouth of a cave.

I can head Leo in the back say "I told you creepy smart guy in a cave." Just as we enter into his home.

Sorry it took me so long, I went to my mom's for the weekend and she doesn't have a computer. I wasn't planning on going otherwise I would have told you guys, sorry. Please review!
