Chapter 2
Athena POV
"You ready" I called "ya bring it" Percy replied, it was our second day here and Poseidon had arrived about an hour ago with my step son Triton. We had introduced him to Percy when he was 4, thinking it was best if the siblings got to know each other while Percy was still young. I was a little apprehensive at first because Triton usually didn't care for Poseidons other children, personally I thought it had something to do with Tritons mother Amphitrite. She was one of Poseidons' ex-girlfriends and the only one he ever actually planned on marrying besides me, but the day Triton was born she kinda lost it.
Poseidon hadn't even proposed yet but Amphitrite declared herself his queen and started to treat everyone like they were second class, gone was the kind loving woman he knew so Poseidon never proposed and once openly said he wasn't going to, ever. This made Amphitrite bitter and she fed her bitterness into her son, so when he met Percy he reacted much like I expected. He flat out refused to even acknowledge him which hurt Percy's feelings of course.
The next 2 years were kinda ruff, Percy would go out of his way to be nice to Triton from making him stuff in his art class to getting him birthday presents. I thought it was all for not but I couldn't bring myself to tell Percy that and it was a good thing I didn't because for the first time since Poseidon admitted his love for me I was caught completely off guard. I went to pick Percy up from school, he was in first grade by the way and would not go unless promised I would still be home when he got back, any way I found him getting picked on by this little fifth grader. I was about to step in but an older guy in his 20 scared the kid off then bent down and picked Percy up.
I realized that the man was Triton, he had finally accepted Percy as his brother. Since then Percy had idolized him, Triton had become his brother full blood or no and I had never seen two brothers closer and for me Triton was just as much my son as Percy was and I think he felt the same.
Coming back to the present we were playing volleyball parents VS kids and it was my serve so I did. Percy dove to catch it which he did but at the same time rebonded it right into the net and his fathers face that happened to be directly behind it. Both me and Triton collapsed to the ground laughing, it's not every day that you get to see the ruler of the seas get knocked to the ground by a volleyball "thats enough for today" Poseidon said standing up.
We walked back to our little cabin that was pretty much a dump in every sense of the word. It was tiny, there was sand everywhere, and the beds sucked. But we still loved coming here, despite three of us being gods and as such used to better accommodations. I had to admit that mortals were onto something because this crappy cabin had brought us closer together as a family and I couldn't have been happier, plus our choice of raising Percy in an average income home rather than a rich one like we could have had taught him humility which I was grateful for.
Poseidon and Triton left later that day to 'get milk' which was code for 'we're quickly checking in on our domains and will be back soon'. I started making dinner while Percy sat silently at the table which was strange I mean he wasn't a chatterbox but he still was hardly ever this quite"Percy are you ok" I asked leaving the stew to simmer. "Ya just thinking" he said "this can't be good" I said sarcastically sitting down next to him "ha ha ha" he replied humorlessly. I gave a slight laugh and put my arm around him "so what is it" I asked "well do you remember Mrs Dodds" he asked and I nodded.
He had come home several times that year complaining about his english teacher giving him trouble for no reason, I had never met her personally because Percy insisted on taking care of it himself. "Well yesterday the whole ride to the museum she just staring at me, then at lunch Nancy starting picking on Grover which made me mad then next I know she sitting in the water fountain screaming the I pushed her" he said 'his abilities are starting to manifest' I thought.
"Mrs Dodds came over and made me follow her into the museum where she started screaming 'give it to me' over and over. I tried to explain that I didn't know what she was talking about but then she turned into this bat thing and my pen from Mr Brunner was suddenly a sword, I slashed Mrs Dodds who turned to dust, and then nobody remembered who Mrs Dodds was. But if you remember her then I'm not crazy so what is going on" Percy said some what frantically at the last little bit.
I felt panicked 'he was attacked by a fury, we're going to have to send him to camp half blood' I thought. It almost killed me to admit that, he was so young why couldn't we just have a few more years before he entered the world of the gods. I could try to convince Percy it didn't happen but fortunately or unfortunately Percy had inherited my brains whether I liked it or not, it was only a matter of time before he figured it out "Percy there's some things you need to kno-" I started to say before Poseidon flashed in which nearly scared Percy to death.
Percy POV
I fell backwards out of my chair after my dad suddenly appeared in a flash of golden light, he looked straight at my mom and they had one of their silent conversations which didn't seem so weird anymore. Mom paled but nodded before dad kneeled in front of me and placing a hand on both of my shoulders "look Percy I know you must have a lot of questions right now" he said 'that's an understatement' I thought.
"But I can't answer them right now, all I can tell yo is this. Your friend Grover is on his way here, he's going to take you some place safe but you need to hurry once you get there I'll claim you with in a week. Also if anyone asks your mother is your mortal parent-" this confused me a ton but I let him continue "-and you can't tell anyone that me or Triton came to see you at all, normally thats against the rules but you were a special case. Now I'll be leaving with your mother to keep her safe, I love you remember that" he gave me a hug as he pulled back and I was immediately pull into a hug by my mom "I love you Percy" she said with tears in her eyes before disappearing in a flash of golden light with dad.
About thirty seconds later Grover burst through the door painting "Percy...found you...need to move...now" he said grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the cabin "go whe.." I started to say before a roar erupted into the air "you know what we can talk later".
Grover had a cab waiting by the road, when the diver asked what the roar was Grover said it was a bear. We rode in the cab for about an hour before the driver pulled over "what are we stopping for" Grover asked "you said you had 20 bucks to pay with, well we just hit that so unless you got more this is your stop". Grover was pissed but we got out "c'mon it's only a mile up the road" he said spriting.
"Where are we going" I said running to catch up "some place safe" he called back, we took a turn and started heading up a hill with a giant pine tree on top but we stopped dead in our tracks when a figure stepped between us and the top of the hill. It was 8 feet tall and looked like someone had crossed a pro wrestler with a bull, with a start I realized it was the miniature and for the first time in my life I felt helplessly afraid.
