Series: Percy Jackson

-Camp Halfblood-
The day was gay as the Aphrodite cabin was getting ready for another day of looking nice. However it seemed off for some reason as a sinking feeling in their stomachs seemed to be happening all at once.
Drew at the moment was busy putting makeup on as she tried to ignore the feeling inside her. She figured it was just the gloomy weather and didn't pay it much heed.
But was this was happening, they didn't notice that the rocks were moving closer to the cabin, each one as sharp as a knife's edge.
"Aphrodite." Spoke a low voice that traveled in the very earth itself.
One girl looked up from her mirror. "Huh?"
"What's wrong Dawn?" Asked a boy from his magazine.
"I thought I heard something." She said while feeling very nervous.
"Aphrodite." The voice said again while sounding very close.
"Wait, did someone say something?"
"Nope." One girl said while a small rock fell from the cabin's roof. "Ow! What the Hades was that?!"
"Probably one of the Hermes kids trying to cause trouble, like usual."
That was when more rocks started to fall from the ceiling as the ground started to slightly shake.
"Aphrodite!" The voice roared while more rocks started to burst out of the floor and started filling up the room.
"Waah!" screamed one boy before the others rushed outside as the cabin shook.
The rocks then started to break the foundations as the voice roared out.
"APHRODITE!"
(At the same time)
-Mount Olympus-
The goddess felt a disturbance in the 'force' while looking around as she sat on her throne. 'Something's off, but it's not unrequited love or broken heart, if anything it feels bitter and familiar.'
"Hey Aphrodite." Spoke Hermes while flying by. "Did you hear about your cabin?"
"Huh? What about it?"
"It got busted by a rock slide."
She stood there while gripping the throne, breaking some nails in the process. "What?!"
"And your kids are getting attacked by falling rocks." He said while knowing that the goddess was starting to get really mad. "Just wanted to tell you before they start sacrificing each other to save them from the falling rocks."
"Oh I'm going down there, and make sure whoever or whatever is causing this is sent straight to Tartarus."
"Well better get going." He said before flying off as Aphrodite flashed away.
-Camp Halfblood-
"Ahh!" Screamed a Aphrodite boy while some sharp rocks and giant boulders rolled or flew after him like a wild animal.
Other campers were rushing to help with their shields and some even tried smashing the rocks with hammers. But they just kept coming as the ones that were smashed were attacking the younger Aphrodite kids like piranhas.
"Ahh!"
"I don't want a rock on my face!"
"Save me mom!"
"This makes no sense." spoke Percy who tried cutting the rocks down.
"I know!" Annabeth spoke while slashing at a small boulder.
"It's like the earth is trying to kill us!" He yelled while a rock knocked him over.
And cue Aphrodite flashing in right next to him. "Huh? This looks very familiar."
"APHRODITE!"
"Oh….her." She frowned while Percy got up.
"Huh? Aphrodite, what are you going here?" He asked as more rocks started to increase in speed.
"I came when I heard the commotion going on, and I know just who's the one making so much racket."
"Who? Is it a god, a titan?"
"Nope, a oread."
"A what?"
"A mountain nymph, and this one I know for a fact is Oenone." She said as the rocks started to roll faster.
"Um who's Oenone?"
"Paris' first wife."
His eyes widened before jumping to the side as the rocks headed for the goddess.
"APHRODITE!" The voice called out as some of the rocks started to break apart and form large spikes. "I SHALL END YOU NOW!"
She rolled her eyes before causing a small cloud of perfume to form, making the rocks freeze and decay. "Really? A frontal attack? I may not be the the best fighter but even I know that's just dumb."
Every camper watched as the rocks shook and felt the earth began to shake a little.
A large pillar of stone popped out of the ground before it began to break to reveal a short woman with grayish green hair, black eyes with some mica around the eyelids, a C cup chest and large ass that poked out of her stone like toga, long hair that looked covered in moss, and some water dripping out of her eyes like a tiny river. "Aphrodite, after ALL these centuries I have you in my sites. Today I'll fade you away!"
"I've heard that a hundred times from women older than you, but I'm still here."
She glared while causing some rocks to float in the air. "Then today is the day, for I'll avenge Paris and end you and your infidelity spawn brats!"
"Not my fault he chose to abandon you."
She shook with rage at that. "Shut it you cow! You made me lose EVERYTHING!"
"Again, I didn't just hang myself after seeing my beloved' death. That's all you."
Oenone growled before the earth started to shake again. "I've traveled from Hades to the mortal world and I shall...I shall…" her eyes glowed with energy as water started to flow down her eyes. "END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE YOU CUNT!"
"You're free to try, and fail."
She roared before getting knocked out by a small hand mirror to the head.
She smirked while picking it up. "Diamond tip mirrors, never leave the temple without it."
'Wow, who knew I'd see a woman get knocked out by a mirror today.' Percy thought with a sweatdrop.
Aphrodite looked at Oenone before getting an idea. "Percy Jackson, a word with you."
"Um, ok?" he walked over confused.
"You know that you owe me for getting my girdle back right?"
"Um no, you owe me."
"Same thing, so since I'm here I want to give you a quest." She smirked.
Percy blinked. "A quest?"
"It's a simple one, so simple that you won't even die." 'Much.'
He sighed. "What's the quest?"
Aphrodite smirked. "I want you to keep an eye on Oenone and maybe keep her close, like REALLY close."
"Uh...ok?"
She smiled while snapping her fingers as a gold bracelet appeared on his left arm and on the nymphs right arm. "Good, now these bands will keep her from running away and well, let's just say that if she hurts you that she'll be like a ball of lava in a freezer."
"...huh?"
She deadpanned. "She'll lose her skin."
"Oh!" 'Ok that makes more sense.'
"Now if you excuse me I have to get Hephaestus to remake the cabin, see ya." She waved before flashing away.
"Ugh…" Oenone groaned while getting up and rubbed her head. "What hit me?"
"A diamond tipped hand mirror." he spoke while she slowly stood back up.
"Fuck that goddess." She grumbled before looking at Percy. "What? Got something in my eye?"
"A little."
She wiped her eyes. "Sorry, but I hate anything to do with that goddess." She then glared at the Aphrodite cabin with hate. "Especially her kids."
Percy put his blade away and moved over. "Uh, maybe you just need some time away to relax and catch your breath."
She blinked. "That might be good, especially after I got out of Hades and I haven't cleaned myself up for a few decades."
'Ew.' Some of the campers thought in disgust.
"So is there any place here where I can roost for the night?" Oenone asked while the rocks started to vanish into the earth. "Any place can work, even a small hole in the earth."
"You can stick around my cabin if you want, plus the water can help if you need a bath."
"Are you sure?"
"Well yeah." He said while Oenone nodded.
"Then lead the way...what's your name again?"
"Percy."
"Interesting name, reminds me of Perseus." She said while following Percy.
(Later)
"So your Paris' wife?" Percy said to a now cleaned up Oenone, who was now wearing one of his shirts and boxers with her nails trimmed, as she sat on the bed.
"Yes, and he was a good person." She sighed. "And a hopeless romantic."
"So, what was that like?"
"It was interesting." She smiled. "He came home from tending the sheep while I made some remedies with my knowledge of plants. And he always says the corniest lines like 'honey I'm home' or 'Oenone, my love I'm back'." She sighed. "It was good...until they showed up."
"You mean Hera, Athena and Aphrodite?"
"Yes and that's when he went crazy with love." She clenched her hand. "He went after that bitch, leaving me with my son Corythus. He was still a baby when that happened and he didn't know it was his either."
"And what happened to Corythus?" Percy asked.
"...I sent him to bring Paris back so we could be a happy family, but." She sighed. "He fell for Helen and was killed by his father, but don't blame him for that act, he didn't know."
Percy went wide eyed while seeing her glare down at the floor.
"This is that bitches fault, she bribed him with another woman who he didn't hesitate to go after. When I found out I was angry and heartbroken, so I decided I couldn't live anymore."
"You committed…"
"Suicide, yes. But it was after I heard that he died in the war, that was the breaking point." She sniffled. "And...when I came to Hades, I was judged to be a shade in charge of suicide victims. But after a while I grew increasingly vengeful and I escaped back to the mortal world."
"And what did you do then?"
She raised her head up. "I went in search of that bitch and killed or faded any of her children that went in my way."
"So...you acted like Hera?"
"I didn't kill babies." She frowned. "It's not my style, but I did give them a landslide."
"That's still like Hera."
"She ruined my life, why should I let them have good lives if they are going to act like that bitch?" She snapped. "If I wanted to I would've kill all humans, but I didn't want to get killed again." She looked down. "...look. I'm just furious about her, it's not that I'm a bitch, it's just...stuff happens to change a person."
"Believe me, I use to think being dyslexic was a big downer, but when I found out it was part of being a demigod, that made things a lot more stressful for me."
"Try depression and suicidal thoughts." She muttered before her stomach growled. "Um got anything to eat? Gravel can't suffice."
"Sure thing, we got a dining hall with pretty much anything you can think of."
"Oh, then I'll follow you." She smiled as Percy realized that she was not wearing pants.
"Um maybe we should go after you put on some pants?"
"Why? This is kind of comfy." She said looking at the clothes. "Much better than my toga any day."
"Because people might stare." he blushed looking away.
"So? I'm not interested in people looking at me." She shrugged before walking out the door. "Are you coming or not?"
"Well, if you're positive." he replied before following and keeping from looking down.
(At the dining hall)
Oenone looked around while eating some rocks like they were candy. "Mmm, good mica composition."
"Are you sure that's good for your teeth?"
"I'm a oread, rocks are part of my diet." She shrugged while chomping down in the rock.
"But didn't you say before that mica stuff wasn't good enough?"
"True, but I'll eat anything right now." She said before a plate of basalt appeared. "Mmm, perfect!"
Chomp!
Percy felt his teeth ache a little as some Aphrodite kids glared at his direction. He bit into his burger and tried to avoid looking them in the eye.
Oenone finished her meal before throwing the leftovers, intentionally, at the cabin. "Ah, That was some good igneous." She then looked at the burger. "What's that?"
"A burger."
"And what's in a burger?"
"Cow meat."
"...can you share it with me?"
He blinked as she bit on the other end of the burger and took a good chunk of it away. She munched on it and hummed before swallowing.
"Delicious! I've never had cow meat that tasted this good before."
"Oh really?" He asked with a light blush.
"I only had charred cow meat, not something this...good!" She smiled before taking another bite of the burger.
Some campers muttered at that while thinking of various situations in their heads.
"Well if you want I could help introduce you to other great stuff, but it might be more greasy than you're use to."
"Ok." She smiled. "Then it's a...um...what was the term again?"
"Date!" One of the Hermes kid's called out.
"Oh yes, a date?" 'I think?'
He blushed while some of the campers snickered. "O-Or! Or! We could just call it a day to help you get caught up on how much the world's changed."
"Why?"
"Y-You look tired."
"But I can't sleep." She admitted. "I lost that ability ages ago."
"Wait, so you can't sleep ever again?"
"Yep, and it's really strange." She said while turning her head to Drew. "It's like I'm dying on the inside for someone else's sins. Especially when I see the bodies of my loved ones every night as I can't dream away these visions of my past." She eye twitched slightly while smiling like a creepy horror movie monster. "And their screams of pain and misery." She then turned around and smiled normally at Percy. "So yes, I can't sleep."
'Ok that's creepy.' Drew thought in horror.
"Well, they might have something for that." remarked Percy getting a chill from her smile.
"Great, thank you." She smiled before a burger appeared. "Ooh! A burger with mica and garnet in it!"
Chomp!
Crunch, crunch, crunch.
"Mmmm, good!"
He and others winced with some campers losing their appetite.
(A little while later)
"Ugh…" Oenone groaned while laying on the bed with a sick expression on her face. "Too much...ugh…"
"It wasn't my fault you ate fifty burgers." Percy sweatdropped.
"Ugh...but they were so good…" she groaned while rolling on her stomach.
'If I showed her ice cream she might not wanna try anything else.' He thought with a slight chuckle. "Want me to get you some water?"
"I need...a back rub." She groaned. "Helps with stomach...ugh...pain…"
"Well I could try, but I'm not an expert on it." He said before sitting on the bed and started rubbing her back. 'Feels like marble.'
"Mmm, thanks." She groaned. "I'm starting to feel better, but remind me never to eat those..burgers like that again."
"Alright."
Oenone sighed while starting to feel better. "So Percy, do you have someone you like in this world?"
"Define like."
"You know, friends and that stuff." She explained. "Paris wasn't one for gaining friends, so I really don't know much about human relations like friends."
"Oh, well yeah. Annabeth, Grover, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Leo, Frank, actually you might be surprised to hear there's a Camp Jupiter for roman demigods."
"I didn't even know that there were romans." She admitted. "But is there an Aphrodite cabin there?"
"No just Venus, which is her roman form." He said before seeing her laughing darkly.
"I'll visit them soon he he he he." She chuckled with a hint of insanity.
'Oh crap.' "Um Aphrodite might hate you more for that, plus the band on your arm will…"
"Huh?" She looked at her hand and gasped. "Oh gods! How...that bitch!"
"Yeah, and if you try anything it'll cause your skin to fall off."
"...THAT BITCH!" She roared while getting up. "I'LL KILL HER FOR THIS ONE!"
'I should've kept my mouth shut.' He thought as Oenone started to take deep breaths.
She then sighed and looked at Percy. "Percy, can you give me some water, my throat is very dry right now." She said with a very unnatural smile.
"Sure, why don't I show you where to get some more for later?" he suggested getting a bad feeling.
"Alright." She said while some rocks broke a wall next to her. "Thank you Percy dear." 'I'll end that slut's life! This I swear!'
"M-Maybe take some more deep breaths."
She took another deep breath as a boulder shot into the room. "I'm fine now."
He gulped as the boulder nearly crushed his head as it impacted the wall next to him. "Uh...hey who wants some ice cream?"
"What's ice cream?" She asked with interest.
"Cold milk."
"...sounds good." She smiled.
"Then let's get going."
"Sure, let's make it a date."
He blushed at the choice of wording as they headed back to the dining hall. All the while, Oenone was holding his hand.
That was when we cut to Aphrodite looking down from a cloud.
"This is going to be good." She chuckled while holding a book called Percy x Oenone in her hands. "I can wait as long as I have to for this pairing to bloom, it might even be better than Annabeth and Percy."
To be continued.
