Chapter 3-

I get sent to Mount Olympus

That night I slept in the Poseidon cabin with Percy and his siblings. He only had two sisters and a brother… apparently, until a few weeks ago, the big three weren't supposed to have children with mortals. But all three of them ended up having children. I sighed, and rolled over onto my back. Things were going to be different from now on. I was a Half-Blood. A Child of… well, I'm not actually sure. No one is. I was hoping things would get figured out soon, but so far no ones made a huge deal out of this.

There was a knock on the door and one of the Poseidon girls got up to get it. She was wearing blue pajama bottoms and a tank top. "Do you mind? It's five in the morning!" The girl whispered to whomever was at the door.

"Listen… Can I please speak with Daniel? He is staying here right?" I sat up at the sound of my name.

Percy's sister looked at me, "She wants you." She cursed in Greek as she walked back to her bunk and laid down.

I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and walked to the door to find Thalia standing there, soaking wet. She was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. "Thalia? What are you doing here…"

"Please take it outside!" Said one of Percy's sisters. I rolled my eyes and shut the door.

"What are you doing here so early?" I said shoving my hands into the pockets of my jeans.

"Chiron wants to see you." She grabbed my arm and pulled me to the Big House.

We walked up the porch steps as the door opened. Chiron stood there smiling, "Good morning Daniel! Please come in." He let us in and shut the door, "I have great news for you."

I sat down on one of the chairs, "What news?" Thalia sat down on the arm of my chair.

"Well, the Olympians would like to see you today." He smiled.

"You- you mean the Gods?" I stared at him.

"Yes the Gods!" Thalia said hitting me on the back of my head. "Who else?"

I winced and rubbed my head, "Where do I go to see them?"

"New York of course," Chiron said as though everyone knew this.

I laughed, "New York? The Gods live in New York?"

"Yes, On the 600th floor of the Empire State building to be exact." Chiron smiled.

"What? There's no 600th floor!" I stared at him.

Thalia sighed, "There is, but mortals don't know about it."

"Exactly," Said Chiron, "So you and Thalia will fly there. The sooner the better."

"Fly? Why do we have to fly? Can't the Gods just snap their fingers and we'd just… appear there?" I asked.

"Daniel it's much more complicated than that. You two will fly BlackJack up there this morning."

"This morning?!" Thalia shrieked. "But capture the flag is today! By the time we get back it will be over!" She stood up arms folded across her chest.

Chiron shook his head, "I'm sorry Thalia, but there are more important things we need to worry about."

I could tell Thalia was mad. Her breathing was uneven and her eyes turned a bright blue. She stared at Chiron, "I can't believe your making me do this." She spun around and slammed the door shut behind her.

I looked at Chiron a moment and left. Thalia was sitting on the steps, "Come on Thalia. We better go."

She stood up and turned to me; "This is your fault." Her eyes were shining blue. She was about to say something else just as BlackJack walked over.

"Come on," I said, "Let's just go." I got on the horse after her, "Ok BlackJack," It felt weird talking to a horse, "Uh, we want you to fly us to Mount Olympus."

…

We got to Mount Olympus around ten that morning. The sky was dark and thunder roared off in the distance. It began raining when we walked through the doors of the Empire State building. Thalia walked up to the guy at the counter, "We are here to see the Gods." He nodded and hit a button. The elevator opened and Thalia motioned for me to follow her. She hit the button with the number 600 on it.

"This is going to take forever," I mumbled. In a matter of seconds we were at the top.

Thalia smiled and walked out of the elevator. I followed her into a huge corridor with statues everywhere. There were huge chair's all facing towards the middle of the room. "Aren't we supposed to be seeing the Gods?"

"We are, they should be here any minute." She looked down at her watch, "It's almost eleven."

I stared at her and waited. After a few minutes all the chair's were filled with arguing Gods.

The man I thought was Zeus looked down at me and cleared his throat. The room was filled with silence, "Daniel. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled down at me.

"Um, you too sir." All the Gods stared down at me. My heart pounding against my chest.

"Calm down boy," Said a lady off to the right. They all began to talk at once again.

Zeus cleared his throat once more, "Daniel, let's get down to business. As you may know… you are different."

I nodded, "Yea, I'm a half-blood." I looked at Thalia who was standing behind me smirking.

"Yes you're a half-blood, but you're different then the others." He smiled proudly, "In fact your more godly than you think."

"Yes," Said a goddess, "you are different from the others." She looked at Thalia and back to me.

"What do you mean?" I just stood there feeling stupid.

"You were created. Not born. You were created by the Gods Daniel." Zeus smiled, "You're our little experiment."

I took a step back, "I'm an experiment?" In the corner of my eyes I saw Thalia staring at the floor.

"Daniel, listen… We all created you. You have Wisdom, like the great Athena. You can breath under water like the Great Poseidon. You have a bit of everything!"

I stared at him, "Am I even human?"

"Yes Daniel!" He laughed, "You are human! That's why you aren't a God. It we didn't create you to be human you would be considered a God."

Thalia snorted, "Ok so can we go now?"

Zeus glared at her, "OUT!" He yelled. She rolled her eyes and sighed as she walked out of the throne room.

"So which cabin do I belong to? Who's my mother? Who's my father?" My brain was filled with all sorts of unanswered questions.

A goddess off to my right answered, "You don't have a biological father or mother."

"That's right," said another God, "You were created… not born."

Zeus nodded, "But as to which cabin you belong in is your choice."

"You could stay in my cabin," Said a God, "Which my boy Percy."

"Poseidon?" He nodded and smiled.

"Or mine," Said another God.

"That's enough," Zeus said. "Daniel we are proud of you, and we hope to see you accomplish great things." He snapped his fingers and they all vanished.

I stood there, unsure whether to feel happy or mad. They said I was their experiment but they were proud of me. But why? I didn't even do anything. I don't have a mom or a dad… I had no family. I was barely even human! I walked out of the throne room and into the long corridor and passed Thalia. She stood up and followed me to the elevator. When she got in I hit the ground floor button. The music was really irritating me.

"Well somebody doesn't look so happy." Thalia smiled at me.

I bit my lip, "At least the Gods are proud of me… including your dad."

She stared at me looking hurt, "Don't say that." She crossed her arms and stood in the far corner. The ride down took a lot longer than it did on the way up.

"So… What's up with you and your dad?" I asked seriously.

She stared at me; "We aren't close. End of story." She turned back around. I heard a ding and the elevator doors opened. Thalia walked out ahead of me and out the doors of the Empire State building. When we got outside we were greeted by BlackJack. It was still raining but not very hard, thank Gods. We got on the horse and began our flight back to camp.

Sorry it took so long for the 3rd chapter. I had a chapter written but I didn't like it much so I rewrote it. Hope you like! And Please Review!
