Chapter 4
Annabeth's POV
Reyna sent a couple of campers to help Frank find Hazel. Meanwhile we were sitting at a big round table with Lucy giving the I-will-kill-you-later stare at Jason. After a couple of minutes like that Piper broke the silence:
"So you two know each other?"
I could see that they nodded.
"From where?" I asked.
"The Underworld." Jason started explaining. "I was on a quest there and I went to Hades' castle and she was in the garden talking to Persephone."
"Who are you?" Percy asked with his voice trembling.
"I'm Lucy…"
Suddenly Percy got up of his chair and walked to the corner of the room with his hands on his head. He turned around and I could see little tears in his eyes.
"You… you have to be dead…"
"Percy, what's wrong. You are scaring me." I said worried, as I got closer to him but he stepped backwards. "Who is she, Percy?" I whispered.
I could feel that he was scared and confused but he answered me:
"She's my sister."
Everyone looked stunned and couldn't say a word. Percy sat down at the table looking at Lucy.
"How are you alive?" He asked in a serious tone not taking his eyes from Lucy.
She sighed.
"Do I have to tell you?" She said not looking very pleased.
"YES!" We all said in one voice.
"Percy was 4 and I was 3. One night mom woke me up. I don't remember really well what she told me but there was a women standing in the kitchen. Mom kissed me and told me that I should go with this lady. I grew up with lady Persephone. A couple of years I lived in the Underground and yeah, I was happy. I met Jason and he came to visit me almost every week. Uncle Hades didn't really want me to see him but lady Persephone made him. Then, one summer I she took me to Olympus, to uncle Zeus and he gave me to one family. And I tried to escape. But then he caught me and he made me live in the castle. And it was awful. I trained till I couldn't breathe. And after five years of torture he let me go here. And I am not stupid to just waste this opportunity! But I never forgot you." Tears were falling from her eyes as the ran out of the room. Percy was crying too.
Lucy's POV
I didn't want to see anybody. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just needed to be alone. I went to the beach and sat down on the sand looking at the ocean. I had to clear my thoughts .
"You don't have to be mad." Said a voice from behind me.
I turned to see a man sitting next to me. He had black hair, sea green eyes, and a fishing hat. I jumped to my feet and he looked up at me.
"Who are you?" I asked, although I think I already knew.
A sad look crossed his face for a brief moment. "Lucy, I am your father, Poseidon."
I stared at him.
"Why are you here?"
"I came to give you a gift, but then I realized that you are into Jason. If Zeus finds out what you are doing with his child he will not be as forgiving as I am."
I looked away from his eyes. "Wh—what are you talking about?"
Poseidon was suddenly on his feet. "You know damn well what I'm saying! You could get yourself killed!"
My head snapped up and I glare at him. "Would you even care? I have been closer to death and not heard a word from you and when I'm happy—truly fucking happy—you show up and tell me that I shouldn't like him! How would you even know?"
Poseidon was silent. He handed me a black case that looked like it would hold a necklace, the words " μαχητής " were in bronze, Greek lettering on the top. "Fighter" I translated to myself.
"You have a strong will, I respect that." Poseidon looked me right in the eyes. "You have so much hate in you, but it will pass by—trust me."
"Trust you?" I asked in a voice barely audible. "You finally show up and I get told that I should trust you? What do you want? Do you want me to be nice to everyone, listen to your every command you tell me?"
"What you are going through is no more than a phase." Poseidon said.
I gave Poseidon a cold look. "You don't own me. You were never there for me!" I turned and walked away from the god, my father.
"I hope you don't get yourself killed. You have a destiny greater than any demi-god has ever known." Poseidon called after me but I didn't even bother to look back.
