Chapter 5: Texts
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.- 2 Timothy 1:7
Percy didn't like bullies, and people who were cruel, sure Kronos was mean and picked on his bullies, but to him Kronos was always nice. Explaining things multiple times, and was never tired of his consistent chatter.
But when his best friend left him for to long Percy was the victim to abuse and many other things, like right now. Sally, his mom, was getting hit and he really wanted to do something anything to make it better, but he couldn't!
He was a weak child and Gabe was a heavy set man and very very drunk.
"Use the water..." a voice whispered and looking around Percy smiled.
Sure he was different and picked on by his peers because they couldn't understand his powers and they were afraid. After All that was just the way human beings were, afraid of the unknown.
Taking a deep breath and submerging his hands in water Percy slowly opened the door and strode down to where he could hear his moms cries.
"Leave her ALONE!"
Their swords clashed and Kronos sneered at his older brother, it had been three weeks since he saw Percy, claiming he was out in Greece with his family, in reality he was at Othrys trying to get everyone for the first phase of attack ready. Sure titans didn't need practice to fight since they were born with their skills, but it would b e nice to touch up on them.
Kronos i wish you were here right now… you'd know what to do. The wind whispered a prayer, a voice he recognized instantly as Percy.
Ignoring it, Kronos swung his sword and maneuvered himself so that Krios was on the ground, hands held out at an awkward angle and face in the dirt, and trying to get out of his grasp.
"Done?!" Iapetus asked and held out a hand for his brother on the dirty floor of the arena, who scowled and walked away.
"What do you need Ep?" Kronos asked his favourite brother, though he would never say it outloud, probably would die before he said that, and since he would be alive for a very long time he hardly thought about it.
"Your human phone has been dinning like crazy, from Jackson and Missus Jackson, the texts are crazy, asking for you to come and get Percy, yet Percy is telling you to stay away that he isn't worth the effort."
Frowning Kronos held out his hand and his phone appeared.
Scrolling through the messages he frowned.
Kronos, please pick up Percy, he needs somewhere to stay while i am busy…. Sally
Hey Kronos, i just wanted to say STAY AWAY FROM ME!
Kronos im glad your gone because sometimes i think i deserve what i get
