Chapter 2: Revelations
-Percy POV-
(15 years later)
I jumped out of bed after having one of my nightmares, which currently I have been having ever since I was twelve. The thing is always the same there I see 12 people in thrones, there is my mother and my father and three old ladies saying I´m the only hope to save something that I don´t get to listen because before I could listen I wake up. Now I know many of you will say that not a nightmare and everything, well try having the same dream once a week and not knowing what it means. When I told this to my parents they only say it´s a bad dream so after a few times trying I let them be because I know that I won't get more than that. I was pulled out of my train of thoughts when I heard my mother was calling me
"Perseus Jackson if you get late to school today you will face my wrath" she said and just then I checked the clock and noticed it was 7:50
With that, I runned to the bathroom in order to get ready. I took a quick shower and runned downstairs at 7:55, gived a quick kiss on the chick to my mother and runned to the garage and jumped in my father´s car so he can leave me at school. At this moment I was happy we didn´t lived far from school because after five minutes we were there just in time to reach the bell. I gave my father a hug and runned to get to my class which actually was the only one I truly liked.
I runned to Latin class with Mr. Brunner. He was this middle aged guy in a motorized wheelchair. He had thinning hair and scruffy beard. He liked to make jokes in class and had an awesome collection of these roman swords which were pretty cool. He was actually the only teacher who didn´t put me to sleep.
I was running through the halls until finally I got to the Latin´s class door and thanks to my luck I got just after Mr. Brunner said my name while checking attendance.
He looked at me and said "So thank you Perseus for coming to class, it´s good to see you had a good sleep"
After this a lot of people chuckled. That's the complete opposite were my thoughts but I let it slide and got to my sit were my best friend Grover Underwood was waiting for me.
Grover was tall and had a acne and the start of a wispy beard. He cried when he got frustrated, and was crippled so that meant that he had a note from the doctor excusing him from PE class, he walked funny because of a muscular disease on his legs, but don't let that fool you because you could really see him run when it was enchilada day in the cafeteria.
"Dude you know Mr. Brunner doesn't like when people get late to his class, especially you, you´re like his favorite student" Grover said in a hush tone once I was sitting beside him.
"I know, I know it´s just I couldn´t sleep well tonight" I said while looking at him. He gave me a look of concern but it only lasted for two seconds before Nancy Bobofit, the school bully; throw Grover part of her sandwich which stick on his back. I was getting up but Grover stopped me and said "Man it´s OK it wasn´t my favorite shirt anyway, and on the other hand you´re on probation remember"
I sat down on my chair again and tried to listen to class, key word tried, I couldn't bear bullies and after this the only thought on my mind was how I would get back at Nancy.
Just as the bell ringed Mr. Brunner remembered us about tomorrows fieldtrip to the museum, which I didn´t was excited about because I had a history of bad fieldtrips that's the reason I was on probation because the director didn´t wanted me to blow up the school bus, again with a canon, which excused saying that I thought it didn´t work.
The rest of the school day went rather uneventful the only class that had little more events was Algebra with Mrs. Dodds I swear she isn´t human but still during her classes the only thing I did was sleep after class I went walking home so I can think about my dream and all but as every time I think about it I ended up wit It´s just a dream thought as I was entering home I saw my brother parking he´s car so I waited for him before entering the house He came up to me.
"Hey Perce how was your day?" he asked after giving me a bro-hug
"Rather uneventful" was my response
"I see. Why do you have bags under your eyes? Are you still having that dream?" he asked concerned
"No, it´s just that I´m tired from school that's all" I lied as we entered the house.
We lived in a big house with 2 stories, basement and a big backyard which contained a pool; whenever I was stressed I went to the pool and just think there. We had a big kitchen, a living room, a TV room with different types of games where I and my big brother Triton played, there was a master bedroom from my arents and also there were other three rooms; one for me, the other from Triton and the last one was a guest room. We also had a big Study room where I used to do my homework; we had a big collection of books in there.
After entering I went straight to my room. It had blue and white color walls, I had a TV hanging on the wall and a desk were my computer lied in my room I also had a little library full of movies and books, and hanging on the walls were pictures of my family and me, I also had one of my girlfriend Artemis. She measured maybe 5'5 feet tall, she had auburn hair and silver eyes wich I always got lost in. I have been dating her for a year now and she is always going on hunting trips with her family. She was homeschooled. And I know what you may be thinking what´s with all the Greek names well lets just say that her family is as much as a fan from Greek mythology as ours just my name is an example, Perseus.
So today was the day she came home from a hunting trip with her family and was coming to visit me. I was drained out of my thoughts when two slender arms hugged me from behind. "You know I was actually thinking about you" I said as I spun around a was met with two beautiful silver eyes and gave her a kiss.
After we parted for air she said "that why I think you are the only worthy man on earth, because you are selfless, you eaven put your life in the way for me all those years ago"She said while giving me another Kiss. So I should explain these. She was kind of a man hater; she always glared at man when we were walking on the street or anything. When I asked her about this her only response was that all man were the same always treating woman like trash. She actually only stop seeing me like that because when I was thirteen I kind of saved her:
Flashback
I was walking down the street when I saw a girl walking through an alleyway, the girl, who I instantly recognized as the one that yesterday visited my mom for dinner. My mom said that she was a friend daughter. I saw her go in the alleyway and after herI saw a man behind her with malicious face, instantly my reflexes kicked in and I runned there. The man had a pocket knife on his hand and just before he could stab her from behind I jumped in and he ended up stabbing me. Just before he started running.
Artemis instantly spooned around and said "why did you did that, I had it all under control?!"
"Because I will not let a friend get hurt" Was my genius response. She shook her head and mutter "men" like it was venom
Then she hold my arm over her neck and helped my go to my house where my mother helped me. Then every time she was at town we would hang out and one thing led to another and finally last year during my birthday I asked her out and she said yes.
Flashback end
We stared into each other eyes in comfortable silence until she said "tomorrow I going on a hunting trip. It will last two months" with a sad face.
I may have gived her a sad face because she saw my eyes and said "but don´t worry, after that I'm Having free time for a long time". With this I smiled again, give her a kiss and said
"Then let´s go out on a date, how about we go to the movies?" she then nodded, and I wrap my arm around her waist while walking: Before leaving my mom intercepted us and said "And where are you two going?" with a smile
We where so close! Then I explained her everything and she said "okay have fun and Percy dinner will be at the counter when you come home" I gave her a kiss on the cheek and grab Artemis hand before leading us out the house. We walked towards the movies talking about life, andd mostely about tomorrow's field trip.
She gave me a look of concern and said"Percy you are on probation so please try not to blow up the school bus this time"
"It was just one time and I didn´t know it worked!" I said
"Well this time please do not try to see if something old works" she said after giggling and giving me a kiss on my cheek
When we get to the movies we decided to see San Andres fault with Dwayne Johnson; once we were in our sits she snuggled into my shoulder and I put my arm around her. After the movie she gave me a goodbye kiss and took a taxi, I went home to eat dinner, washed my teeth and before sleeping I heard a knock on my door.
I opened it to reveal my brother he looked at me with a smirk and said "How was your date?"
I rolled my eyes and said "It was good"
"How many times did you both Kiss each other?"he said
"Not of your concern. But this was a good date, I think we both had fun"
"Well that was all I wanted to know, so good nigh little brother" he said and went into he´s room. I swear my family sometimes acts like crazy
After this I went to sleep and thank god this was a dreamless one.
Line Break
We were on the bus going to the museum Mr. Brunner was the one in charge of this field trip so I was determined to be good. Nancy Bobofit was throwing pieces of sandwiches at Grover knowing that I couldn´t help him he was telling me to calm down. When we arrived at the museum I instantly jumped out of the bus as I loved ancient things.
Mr. Brunner was talking about the Greek funeral art and watching a statue as if he was in this funeral. Nancy was snickering about a naked guy and finally I couldn´t take it longer, I turned around and said "will you shut up"
"Mr. Jackson do you have a comment" Mr. Brunner said while looking at me
Nancy in a hushed tone said "Busted"
I had a red face and said "No, sir"
Mr. Brunner signaled to a picture and said "Perhaps you can tell us what this picture represents.
I looked at the picture and sight in relief as I actually recognized this picture, because my mom used to teach me about Greek myths.
"It´s Kronos eating his kid, right?"
"Yes," Mr. Brunner said obviously not satisfied "and he did this because…"
"Well Kronos was the Titan King and he didn´t trust he´s children, who were the gods, so he ate them. But his wife Rhea tricked him into eating a rock while she hided Zeus, who grew up and tricked his dad, Kronos, into barfing up his brothers and sisters-"
"EWWW" said one of the girls in the back. By this point I imagined Artemis laughing her beautiful laugh at the girls attitude and saying She acts like it was a big thing.
"-so" I continued "there was this big fight between the Titans and the gods. And the gods won."
Behind me Nancy mumbled to one of her friends "like we are going to use this in real life, it doesn't work for anything"
"And why Mr. Jackson" Mr. Brunner said "to answer Miss Bobofit question knowing this is important for real life"
This time was Grover's turn to say "Busted"
"Shut up!" Nancy hissed at Grover which only snickered
"Maybe because knowing different things will help us in different situations in the future, to take different course of actions while having similar situations..?" it came more as a question.
Mr. Brunner sight and said "well in that you are correct, you gained all credit Mr. Jackson, now continuing with…"
After that we went to have lunch at the stairs of the museum were we watched the traffic on Fifth Avenue. Then Nancy camed to us and 'accidentally' let her lunch fell on Grover now I don't know what happened next because the next thing I knew was that Nancy was dripping wet on the fountain and yelling "PERCY JACKSON PUSHED ME INTO THE FOUNTAIN"
After this Mrs. Dodds who was on the stairs seemed to materialize next to me with a face that said 'I have been waiting for you to do something like that for the whole year'. After assuring that Nancy was okay she turned to me and said "follow me" with a demonic smirk Grover tried to take the fault for me but I stop him and said "don´t worry G-man" with that I followed Mrs. Dodds to a part of the museum which was under construction and once I saw her again she was on the other side of the room and without warning her eyes started glowing like barbecue coals, her fingers stretched turning into talons, and her jacket melted into her skin and formed large leather wings. She wasn´t human.
Then something even stranger happen in the door of the room appeared Mr. Brunner he shouted "PERCY!" while tossing me the pen Mrs. Dodds came at me with a big speed and I dodged her talons before they slashed my ear and catch the pen but when the pen was on my hand it wasn´t a pen anymore it was a sword, Mr. Brunner sword which he used during tournament day. Then Mrs. Dodds launched at me with tremendous speed and I did the only thing that came naturally at me: I swing the sword. It connected with her shoulder and pass through her as if she was a body of water, the she exploded and the only thing that was left was dust and the smell of sulfur and dying screech.
Then I turned my gaze towards the sword which wasn´t a sword anymore but a ballpoint pen. There was nobody there in the room. My lunch must have magic mushrooms or something.
I went back outside and it started to rain. Grover was by the fountain. Nancy passed by me and said "I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped your butt"
"Who" was my brilliant response
"Our teacher, duh" she said
I asked Nancy what she was talking about and she just rolled her eyes and continue walking
I asked Grover where was Mrs. Dodds. He stop a second before answering "Who?" which make me think that he was messing with me
"Not funny man" I said "our algebra teacher? Mrs. Dodds?" I asked
He shook her head and said "Are you okay? Our algebra teacher is Mrs. Kerr" he said while pointing to a perky blonde woman which I have never seen I my life.
I saw Mr. Brunner sitting on his wheelchair under his umbrella and when I approached him he looked at me and said "I believe that's my pen, next time bring your own utensils Mr. Jackson"
I looked at him and said "Sir, where´s Mrs. Dodds?"
He looked at me blankly and said "Who?"
"our algebra teacher, the other chaperone" I said
"I think you are mistaken. The one you're describing is Mrs. Kerr" he said pointing to the same woman that Grover pointed before.
I got back to the bus and the ride was uneventful. Once we were back at the school Grover said "May I go with you at your home? After all we have to finish our science project"
I turned to him with a distracted look and said "Huh? Oh yes"
Then we went back home as soon as we entered we were greeted by my mom and dad I gave them a hug but it seemed Grover had other plans when I turned I saw him kneeling. And my mom and dad had angry expression on their face. Grover looked up and said "Lady Athena, Lord Poseidon what are you doing here?" By this moment my brother was here and had a expression similar to my parents. My only thoughts were 'how does he know them? Why is he kneeling and calling them Lords and Ladies?
They looked at each other and sight before saying "Are you send from camp half-Blood?"
"Yes" was his response.
My mother asked "And why are you here?"
"Percy was attacked by Alecto" Grover said
My families faces were once of anger and before they talked again a note appeared out of nowhere and their faces paled. My mother muttered "It´s time. I don´t want to let my little boy go"
By this moment I was freaking out and asked "What is this camp? Why would I go? And most importantly WHAT IS HAPPENING?" I said/shouted
My mother hugged me for a few minutes and when she decided to let me go said "Let's start by saying Greek Myths are real." She stop for a second and then continue saying "And we all are part of it." I looked at her and said "How?" somehow I think it would explain a lot. She looked at me and said "Well for starters we are Gods, me, your dad and your brother you by the other hand are a demigod. We were allowed to raise you by the fates as you weren't suppose to be born a demigod but were born this way because of a task that you will know when the time is right. But know that we love you. Now you need to go to camp were you wil be trained, there you will live during summers, but during school year you will live with us again" she said this while she hugged me again.
"I love you guys too but why do I need to be trained?" I asked
This time Grover was the one who response by saying "Demigods attract a lot of monsters so you need to be trained on how to survive"
Then my brother said "he´s right. Percy during the time on cam we can´t see you but you can still IM us if you are in problems or all, by the way protector you can´t tell anything of this to the other campers at it is not allowed to us, understood?"
Grover nodded
I looked at him with a quizzical look and said "Why did he call you protector?"
"Because I´m supposed to protect you" was his response
I looked at him with a 'Are you serious look you are crippled' look he must have sensed this because he said "I'm going to explain this when we are at camp"
I nodded
When she let me go, again, my dad told me that he will claim me today at campfire then I went to pack. Before we left and Triton told us that he would give us a ride. He let us near a hill and said goodbye before giving me a bro-hug. Then we walked up the hill. But before we could reach the top Grover was pulled back and hit a tree before passing out. When I looked at who did that I saw a really big man-thing who looked like a combination of a bull and a buffy football player I instantly recognized it by the myths my mom teached me as the Minotaur. I looked in my head for debility and I remembered my mom telling me that he couldn´t tack well so when he charged at me I waited till the last second before dodging his attack. The next time he charged at me he seemed to have learned his error because he extended his arms effectively hitting me. I landed a few feet away in front of a tree and immediately had an idea, probably a bad idea but the only one I had. I grabbed a big rock and before he hit me I jumped with all my might and he crashed on the tree. When he pulled of he was on the ground and let his right horn on the tree I took this as an opportunity and hit him with the rock on the head he disintegrated into golden dust. After this I wanted to lay down and sleep but my thoughts were I need to get help and save Grover so I walked down to a big house and knocked the door before drifting unconscious and letting darkness take me.
A/N: So this was the second chapter I know some of you may not like that he already knows Artemis but next chapter he is going to west over hall as his first quest is to save Nico and Bianca and will have a pertemis moment. After the next chapter I will try to make much more pertemis moments and also I will try to upload next chapter tomorrow. So again thanks for reading and please review.
