I had my first reviews so needless to say, I am a happy man. Actually teenager but forget it. This is next part where things begin to clear up. Do ignore my mistakes, if there are any, I am deeply sorry if there are.

Rubi Smeen- The real deal is yet to come. Thanks for the encouragement.

"We have to go. Now!"

She nodded.

Percy moved towards her and held out his hand. He had a hearty grin. She reciprocated and gripped it tightly. She swept away her tears and pushed back some loose strands of her hair.

"Uh, I understand now. You must have come here to take me to a safer place. I never thought Concord had earthquakes. Thank the gods, it wasn't a severe one or we were gonna be sitting ducks, eh?"

Percy's ears sprung up when she said gods. Did he imagine that? It might be that heard 'gods' so frequently that maybe he just thought that she said it. But he was sure she had used the plural sense. Hazel was pretty adamant that she would have no idea who she was and how important she was. Maybe Hazel was wrong. Maybe she knew she was a demigod. But again, Hazel was seldom wrong. He decided to play it cool.

"Umm… You just said gods."

She turned a bit red and then chuckled.

"Oh Yeah, it's a habit. You know the Greek gods? Those 12 Olympians?"

He nodded. She continued.

" So, my family is a nutter about Greek mythology. They always say gods. So, I have picked up on them. Gods… Sounds weird, right?"

Percy grinned. She had no idea how familiar with it, he was.

"Come on, let's get out of here. We have to meet Annabeth in the park. She would probably be waiting. She is kind of like the supervisor."

She nodded and they started walking. She looked him up. He was fit, really fit. He had an athletic build. His hair resembled her, black as a crow. She always let her shoulder length hair down and had some highlights at the ends. His was totally messy and ruffled. He had green eyes which were so bright and intense. She remembered his icy stare. Now that he was composed, his eyes were beautiful, attractive, even. He was wearing an orange shirt and some good old jeans.

Percy smirked. She realized she was caught contemplating on him and blushed a deep shade of red.

They made their way through the crowd which had formed on the dainty market-place and discussions about the earthquake were audible.

They went to the park and both sat down at a bench.

She was tired. The glaring antics had drained her. She looked at Percy and knew he was too. They just sat there for a few moments looking at the mountains which graced the majestic sky which was adorned by specks of clouds. This was the best sight in all of Concord.

Percy said,"Hey, I just realized I forgot to ask your name."

"Oh heck, I didn't ask too. Bad manners, girl!"

"So… umm…"

"Henessey McClenaghan. I know, Henessey is a weird name so just call me Ness. What is yours?

"Percy Jackson, actually in full it's Perseus Jackson."

"Wow. Perseus. You know, in Greek, Perseus is a demigod, son of Zeus, the king of all gods."

"Yeah, my mom named me after him so I could have a perfect life just like him."

"Sounds like your mom is awesome. Perseus, now that's cool. What kind of name is Henessey! Ness is a life-saver, you know."

She chuckled and a toothy grin plastered on Percy's face.

She excused herself to read a book. Percy smiled at that.

He closed his eyes and replayed the events in his head. He and Annabeth had parted at Downer Centre, Concord and would meet later at the park. He had been looking for a 16-17 year old girl with jet black eyes and similar shoulder-length hair wearing a pink top covered by a crimson red jacket and blue jeans. He had found her and urged her to come with him. She had refused flatly and played some kind of mental angering trick upon him, turning him angry. He had faced many gods with such power so he knew she was responsible for this and also knew she did this subconsciously as is done by demigods in battle situations. He had almost caused an earthquake when she relieved and somehow broke her control. He had come to his senses and stopped himself before the situation could get any worse.

Now who could be her God-parent? He immediately thought of The War God, Ares but dismissed it as he thought about how friendly and talkative, she was. She was way too cute to belong to Ares. It could be Morpheus, the god of dreams as she-

He suddenly opened his eyes as he received shakes on his body. He first thought it was another earthquake when his eyes made way to the blonde girl's face.

Annabeth freakin' Chase.

He had seen her uncountable times, still he got a sense of exhilaration when he saw her. Her loose blonde curls were adorning her face as the intense gray eyes bore a hole into him. She was smiling and his heart melted.

"Were you sleeping, Seaweed Brain?"

"No, no. I was just umm, thinking."

"You… thinking..!"

She broke into laughter as Henessey looked up from her book and frowned at her.

Annabeth looked at her and she turned from laughing to cool and calm in a matter of seconds. She realized she was the girl Hazel had dreamt about. She had to be.

Henessey was slim and tall, almost as tall as her. Her hair was the darkest shade of black with yellow highlights on the lower back-end of strands. Her eyes matched the black of her hair, black like a moon-less night. She was wearing the exact clothes Hazel told them she would.

"Hello, I am Annabeth. You must have met Percy."

"Oh, so you are Annabeth. I am Henessey."

Henessey. Annabeth liked that name. It was uncommon just like her name was.

Henessey smirked as she asked, "So, Seaweed Brain, why did you call Perseus that?"

"Because his brain is like a seaweed."

They both laughed as Percy fumed.

"Your eyes are marvelous, you know. They go excellently with your fair skin."

"Thanks but I would kill for that jet-black hair."

They again laughed. This was getting too girly for Percy.

"Umm Henessey, I need to ask you something."

"Sure, fire away!"

"Do you know why we came here for you? It's be-"

"Yeah, yeah, I figured it out!"

Annabeth was taken aback at that. She looked at Percy who ruffled his hair with a guilty look. Seaweed Brain has fed her false information.

Henessey continued, "My grandparents must have sent for me when they heard about the earthquakes from the news or something. And it's time for me to go to them in New York anyways. So, I guessed.

Annabeth pondered over her sayings. Clearly she was going to New York for family reasons and not Camp. And she said earthquakes… Earthquakes! It doesn't take a genius to figure this out. She connected the dots and realized the misunderstanding. She shot a weary look to Percy who was showing guilt all over his face. She thought about why he caused a quake but that was another matter.

"Listen, Henessey,"

"Call me Ness, please."

"Ness, we aren't here from your grandparents. We are here for another serious matter entirely."

Ness shot a questioning look but mentioned her to continue.

"Ness, do you know anything about the Greek gods?"

Percy shot a curious look to Annabeth. He knew that this information was to be revealed at Camp, not here. He said, "Shouldn't we wait for Camp, Annabeth?"

"No, Percy, Chiron doesn't know about this remember?"

Percy understood instantly. They were doing this without the knowledge of Chiron so it was better if Annabeth did this before they reach camp.

Ness looked confused. Percy knew, she understood the reference to Chiron, the centaur and was trying to think why Greek mythology is being talked about here.

"Umm, Annabeth, she knows a lot about Greek mythology so we don't have to explain it to her all the Greek parts."

Ness looked at Percy, her eyes showing her building confusion. Annabeth continued.

"Oh good. Listen Ness, the Greek gods? Well, they are real. As real as you and me. They preside from New York's Empire State Building where long atop is Olympus. The gods keep moving where the fire is burning. When there is a promising, growing civilization, they move there. They were first in Greek, then they moved to Italy, England, Spain and many more until they are finally here in the US."

Annabeth thought she would burst out a heap of questions. Instead, she slightly nodded her head, clicking things together in her mind.

"Oh. So this is true… Like, really true?"

"Yes, Ness. You look as if you knew this already!"

"Well, my father used to tell me all these things. He would talk about the present day version of gods, Camp made for demigods in Long Island. I thought he told these things to keep me interested in Greek myths!"

Annabeth didn't expect that. But she realized something. Her father took care of her, so her mother was a god.

"So, your mom left you right after you were born, right?"

"Hey, if you aren't from my grandparents then how did you know this?"

Annabeth sighed and braced herself.

"It's because she was a Greek god. You are a demigod too, Ness, just like Percy here and me."

Ness dropped her book from her left hand and collapsed back into the bench. The mountains seemed to roll back to her and cage her. She realized the truth, everything of it. Why her mother was never around, why his father wasn't angry at her mother about leaving her, why his father was nuts over Greek, she realized everything. She took a deep breath and sighed.

"So, who is my mother then?"


So how was it? I hope you enjoyed it. I am updating back to back, so I will be grateful if you guys review me. I totally expect criticism. Please review and tell me your ideas, suggestions and thoughts.
