Hey guys I'm back with a new chapter. I've put up a poll on my profile about who Percy's adopted Godly parent(s) should be. So please vote on that, if you cant do that then please review who you would like it to be, I will be considering the reviews as well. Please review even if its not for the poll. Now on with the story.
Chapter 2
(Percy)
After watching my mummy die like that and me… me killing Gabe, I finally realised what was happening. My mum, the only one who truly cared for me, was murdered. Murdered by the man who she married to "protect me". It did nothing for her, did it?
"DID IT?"
I shouted that last part in anger as the first bit of ice started to spread across my heart, not only that, but the loss of my mother made a part of my soul darken. But worst of all my sanity was questioned.
Tears continuously flowed down my face, my mummy, my mummy, my mummy.
(3rd person)
And for the next minute he just kept on sobbing those words, tear tracks falling onto the bloodied carpet. He finally understood it, everyone left him. His dad did. His mum did. He couldn't comprehend the fact she was taken from him instead. Anyone and everyone ignored him, treated him like rubbish. Percy didn't realise it yet but more ice spread across his heart, a fifth of it was now covered.
It was at this point, three bright lights flashed through the bloody apartment. All of them were tall men. One had blond hair and bright blue eyes with a blinding smile. The second had brown hair, the same blue eyes, upturned eyebrows and a mischievous smile. And the third one… Well he looked like an emo. He had black shoulder length hair that was tied in a ponytail and onyx eyes.
The people's eyes scanned the room, widening when they saw two dead bodies, until they stopped on Percy. The young boy looked up at the three with red puffy eyes saying,
"Are you here to arrest me for killing my Step Father?"
The three men looked shocked at the small child, but the first two men couldn't say anything. However, the emo man kneeled and spoke calmly to Percy.
"Hello child, my name is Hades."
Percy's eyes widened in shock and suddenly bowed,
"Lord Hades,"
The two men behind Hades eyes almost popped out their sockets and the brown haired one asked Percy,
"How do you know about the Greek gods?"
He shrugged and said, "My…" He flinched then carried on,
"Mummy told me all about them and told me that a Greek god was the reason I loved the sea so much."
Hades and Hermes' eye suddenly widened, again, as they processed this information. Meanwhile, Percy started to tear up and he muttered,
"It's a shame smelly Gabe didn't let us go much, I almost feel happy about trapping him in ice and killing him."
Apollo finally realised what Hades and Hermes were so shocked about. He opened his mouth to speak.
"Woah, whoa, whoa."
He looked at Percy with curiosity,
"Did your mother ever mention what your father's name was umm…?"
Apollo looked at Percy silently asking what his name was.
When his mother was mentioned, his eyes filled with pain and sadness, but he still managed to talk.
"My name is Percy and no, she didn't to me but at night, I'd sometimes hear her talking to herself and saying Poseidon over and over."
Hades eyes flared in anger and he started to shout at the boy in front of him,
"WHAT! NOW POSIEDONS BROKEN HIS OATH AS WELL! IF ZEUS AND POSEIDON KILL MY CHILDREN THEN ILL DO THE SAME TO THEIRS!"
Hades hand lit with purple flames as Percy started to cry but before Hades could do any harm to him, Hermes and Apollo pulled him back and Hermes spoke,
"Don't be the monster that the Olympians assume you are."
"Yeah Uncle H we're the only ones who see who you actually are and that you're NOT how myths describe you as."
Apollo added, he spoke softly this time,
"Don't prove them right."
Hades breathed in deeply and knelt down next to the crying child,
"I'm sorry Percy, I'm like this due to my long long LONG rivalry with your father. Please, forgive me."
Percy looked up at Hades with his eyes showing great sadness but also anger,
"That old piece of kelp is no father of mine, he left me with that monster I killed and you may as well kill me anyway…"
Hermes eyes widened(again, again),
"Why would you want to die Perce?"
Percy looked down at the ground as tears down to the ground.
"Gabe may have been stupid and smelly, but he was right, no one wants me."
All gods in the room looked at him in sadness but then they all looked at each other and seemed to be having a mental conversation.
(Hades speaking)(Apollo speaking) (Hermes speaking)
"I think that we should raise him."
"But he is my brother's son!"
That was still spoken in anger but not as much as before.
"I agree with Apollo, Perce has no one."
"Why did you start calling him that ridiculous nickname, you will only grow attached to the child!"
"Uncle H, we already have."
"Well what about the ancient laws?"
"You're not allowed to raise your own child it doesn't say anything about someone else's."
"Wow you said something smart for once."
"Shut up Hermes, says the one who thought that The Little Mermaid was based off a real story!"
"It was though, Tri had a mermaid daughter called Ariel."
Hades who had been thinking suddenly snapped, mentally though.
"Shut up the pair of you I've made my decision!"
They stopped immediately and waited for Hades to do something.
Hades sighed and motioned for Hermes and Apollo to go in front of him. They high fived and and started to ask Percy,
"Percy,"
He looked up,
"Hermes and I own a house in Florida, it has two pools, four games rooms, eight bedrooms, a gym, a battle arena and four floors."
It was Hermes' turn to speak,
"And we were wondering if you wold like to come and live there with us."
Percy looked up in shock,
"But I killed someone? Shouldn't I go to prison."
Hermes knelt and said,
"We've all done some things we regret but the real thing we have to do is to redeem ourselves."
Percy let out a small smile and said,
"I'd love to have a home again."
Apollo and Hermes let out a whoop of delight and Hades let out a small smile that no one noticed except for Percy.
Percy turned and looked at his mother,
"Please let me bury my mummy first."
The three gods looked at each other, Percy deserves this much.
