Chapter 4

"A really bad deal with your evil aunt Hera"

Percy

When I woke, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that I was alive.

My whole body ached, especially my throat, head, and back, and I bit back a groan. I reached back and touched my enflamed scar and winced as a shiver crept down my spine.

Where was I? The last thing I remembered was the poison taking over me and I'm trying to safe Toby…Toby!

I'm the worst Demi-God ever, how can I leave him like that he might be…no I can't think that, he's fine maybe we're in the Hospital or maybe Apollo saved us and we're in the secret hideout right now.

A girl was softly speaking to a boy just outside the room. The door was open, and light spilled into the room. I paled when I realized whose voice it was.

"-it's been over than an hour, Will. Why isn't he awake?"

"I don't know! I told you, I've never seen that poison before, or the antidote. I had Annabeth analyze it, but-"

My mind froze. Annabeth? But… I couldn't be back…I couldn't!

My hands began to sweat, and panic started rushing through me. I forced myself to calm down, but I was still afraid.

How could I have been so stupid? So careless?

Maybe I could sneak away, get to Olympus and explain to Hera how I had ended up in camp. Maybe everyone could still be saved…

I struggled to sit up, and nearly threw up at the wave of nausea that hit me. I couldn't help but let a tiny groan slip from my traitorous lips. Piper froze and turned to me. Her kaleidoscope eyes widened and she tore out of the room.

What the hell?

Will had poked his head into the room when time froze. Like, actually froze. The blanket that had been cascading off me was static in the air, hard as rock. Will was in the process of blinking, so his eyes were mostly closed and his nose was scrunched up. A fly was still in mid air, and I got the sensation that someone had pressed 'pause' on the room.

Suddenly there was a flash of light, and Hera, wife of Zeus and goddess of family, marriage, and ruining-my-life was standing in front of me.

"Hera" I snarled.

"Percy" Hera replied regally. "So you say. What do I do about this?"

"Let me go? Leave camp alone?" I suggested, but Hera continued as if I wasn't there.

"You disobeyed me," she boomed, voice monotone and unfeeling. It went through me like a spear, the curtain of water rippling with every syllable. "We had an agreement, and you broke it. The motion to raze Camp Half-Blood is passed. You may warn them of their demise."

"Like you said, I didn't come here on purpose." I argued. "The poison-"

"I tried, Hera. I did. But Toby..."

"Oh yes, Tobias Carter. You did take quite a liking to her when you two met, Jackson." she mused, tapping her fingers on the bedside table. She sat in a rickety old chair placed beside the bed as if it were a throne.

"I not sure what you mean, Hera." I said nonchalantly. "Toby's a good kid, if that's what you mean."

Hera looked at me, like she actually already knows about Toby's and what his role in my quest is. "Perseus, it's not a coincidence that both of you met, he got a connection with your quest"

"What are you...?" I grunted, trying to stand, but Hera's palm was now facing downward and I was held in place by an invisible force.

"I'm giving you a second chance. Prove that you are not the person you used to be. Prove that I am in no danger of having to destroy this important sanctuary for our children. You will stay here for two months, and if after those two months you feel no hesitation or reluctance about leaving again, then your allies will remain unharmed" she said with of course a threat tone.

"Fail to do so, hesitate for even a second and I will reduce this Camp to ruin. Once again the fate of heroes rests on your shoulders. The only question now is: what will you do?"

My jaw dropped. "Are you serious? Two months is a long time! They'll discover who I am and-"

"If you are discovered, boom. Bye-bye Camp Half-blood. Make them hate you, Trent. Become despicable. Make them glad to be rid of Trent. After all, Percy would never be a jerk. They would never expect it!"

"And in return, I would give you a surprise that you wouldn't ever think off"

My blood turned to ice. Hera beamed at me as if she were giving wonderful news.

"Good luck, Trent." The goddess said, and then disappeared in a flash of light. Time resumed.

Will finished blinking, and the fly continued buzzing around the room. My blankets collapsed on my lap, and my tongue felt heavy and dry. I was a much better liar now, but I didn't think I could pull this off.

My thoughts were interrupted as Will entered the room. His hair was damp, probably from a shower. I quickly put a mask on my face and frowned at Will.

"Who are you?" My voice was raspy. "Where am I?"

"Where's Toby?!"

Will raised an eyebrow. "Don't even worry, the kid that came with you, he's stable enough but still need a rest"

"A better question would be who you are"

I scowled. "Sorry, that's classified information"

"Now the better question is, where he is?!"

"He's still talking to Annabeth, he's the one wake up first then you" he said as he takes me to another room.

There of course I saw Piper with Toby of course just sitting there while Piper asking him some question, while Toby's given some warm nectar.

He then saw me and looked at me with a confuse also relieved look, either he's confuse why I'm half naked because I only kept my pants on or why it's takes me so long to wake up.

"Uh . . . Hi?" he said awkwardly.

"From now on," I told him, crushing him to my chest so much I could hear his struggling to breathe. "If there's a bunch of monsters and we're running, you run ahead. Got it?"

Toby nodded energetically. "Can I breathe now?" he choked.

I released him, moving my grip to his shoulders instead and giving him a rigorous onceover, hand feeling along his chin and arms and examining the back of his head for injuries. His eyes were even, an eyebrow arched above his right in a silent question. His hair was now clean and he's given some new clothes for him.

About the time I pulled him into a second hug was when his hands came into contact with my scar on my neck. Toby shot back like a bullet; he had never look the scar before because I hid it for a reason.

"What happened?" he demanded. "Are you okay? I don't remember anything after falling asleep"

I opened my mouth, breath hitching as I struggled to think of a non-panic-inducing way to explain Toby's very dead form. "Toby, you-you weren't really breathing. You were hurt and I don't know how you're so . . ." I shook my head, checking him over again in speechless gratitude. "But that doesn't matter. You're okay now"

Will sighed and handed me a cup of amber colored liquid. Nectar. That word popped in my head, and a small flood of memories attached to the word flooded in. I held it, feeling the chill from the ice in the cup permeate my hands. I raised an eyebrow.

"What is this? Are you trying to drug me?"

Will's eyes widened. "Why would I do that?"

I let out a sigh and rolled my eyes. "Hmm… I dunno….because you are a stranger offering me a strange-lookin' drink?"

"It's to help you heal." Will said patiently. "Your friend over here, already drink one and he's not dead"

I snorted. "I've heard that one before. Not a lesson I'm keen to repeat."

Will looked worried for some reason. "Where are you guys come from?"

I shrugged. "Last couple weeks we've been in New York"

"What's your name?" Will tried. I crossed my arms.

"Tell me yours first." I said obstinately.

"My name is Will Solace." Will said, smiling benignly. "I'm the son of-"

But whatever Will was going to say faltered as the doors to the room crashed open, and Annabeth Chase marched inside.

I paused for a moment, staring at my old girlfriend, who I hadn't seen since before Tartarus. "So he's awake." she said, crossing her arms.

I hated what I was going to do, but I had to do it. Anything that could dispel any suspicion as to who I was going to be needed.

"Who're you, blondie?" I said, smirking at her.

"Don't call me that." Annabeth said. "Will, I'll take it from here."

"And Toby, I need you to go with Will for a while okay"

Will nodded and left, he also brought Toby with him I want to stop him but I don't thing being a jerk in front of him would be a great example. Annabeth ignored the rickety chair and stood at the end of the exit of the tent.

"What's your name?" Annabeth asked. "Your friend over there already told me he's name and now it's your turn"

I laughed, but it wasn't a joyful or warm one; it was cold, high, and hard. Even I was surprised by it.

"What's so funny?" Annabeth said crossly, although her eyes looked unnerved.

"Honestly princess, you expect me to just give it away?" I gave a sly grin. "Name's Trent, sweetie."

"Don't call me that." Annabeth hissed. Then she recovered herself. "Odd name."

I shrugged.

"What's your last name?" Annabeth asked.

I gave a lopsided smile. "Have none."

"Why?" she said. "Your brother here has a last name right, why don't you?!"

"No one around to give me one." I shrugged. "Didn't need a last name, couldn't remember one, so I didn't give myself one"

"And Toby's pretty lucky to have one also; he's a great kid and deserves a last name but he's not my brother"

Annabeth eyes softened. "Too bad" she murmured. "Must have been hard."

I shrugged again, and I saw a flash of irritation come from Annabeth.

"So what's your name?" I asked. "Can't keep callin' you princess or blondie forever"

"Annabeth." Annabeth drew herself up. "Annabeth Chase. Daughter of Athena, and counselor of the Athena cabin."

"Athena?" I said, saying the word as if were foreign to me.

Annabeth sighed, as if she wished she hadn't been stuck explaining the craziness that was out world to me.

"Do you know about the Greek gods?"

"Like…Zeus?" I said, crinkling my eyebrows. When did I become such a good actor?

"Exactly." Annabeth said, nodding. "Well, they're real. And alive."

I stared at her. "Nice." I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "So I've been kidnapped by a crazy gang. What are you, princess, Queen of the dumb blond?" (AN: I'm really sorry and I didn't meant to insult blond people, seriously sorry, here have a virtual cookie)

Annabeth eyes went steely in anger, and I could she was barely holding back from attacking me. Good.

"No" Annabeth said, her voice strained. Her fists were clenched. "This is a summer camp for demigods."

I blinked. "I dunno what 'demi' means, but godly…hmm..." I gave her another crooked grin. Then I frowned. "There may be monsters-I'll give you that, but there ain't no gods."

Annabeth sighed. "Believe me, Trent, there are"

"That's what they all say!" I argued, swinging my legs off the bed, and ignoring the pain it caused. I patted my pocket, and felt the two pens that hid my swords. "So princess. Where can I get some food? Assuming it's not drugged."

Annabeth glowered at me. "Lunch was an hour ago."

I swore. Annabeth glare became more intense. Jeeze. She was scary.

"We have little kids here." Annabeth said sternly. "Swearing is not tolerated"

"Weird, your little friend there, he's really polite and really innocent, when the fact that he's travelling with you"

"You don't know him well enough blondie" I said. "He can be really surprising.

I got up off the bed, hiding a wince as my scar twinged. I longed to have some nectar and ambrosia, but it wasn't possible yet as Trent. I stretched, feeling the last waves of nausea fade away. The poison had run its course for now, but I knew that it would come again next month.

"Look blondie" I said. "I'll happily leave as soon as I figure what the hell is going on in this nut job camp of yours."

Annabeth shot a look of pure dislike at me.

"I'm sure Chiron would love to meet you." she said. "For now, I'll give you the Grand Tour."

I nodded, and silently followed her from the room. I had succeeded; Annabeth hated me, and she would never be able to figure out that I am his Seaweed Brain Percy Jackson.

So why did I feel so miserable?
