Daughter Of Madness
AN: Why hello everyone, sorry I haven't updated recently, but I am absolutely swamped with college so I'll try to update on the weekend and maybe some weekdays, but I passed my A level mocks WOOOOO! *clapping enthusiastically*
Madeline2206: I'm glad somebody guessed the little hints I was including I wasn't sure if people would. I'm trying to portray Dionysus in that way, I mean they're both similar but I'm guessing this will be his first girl so I'm making him EXTRA protective, he wont be pleased by the quests though. I ship them already, I feel like a proud parent. Your reviews make me happy.
I'M SO SO SO THANKFUL FOR THE REVIEWS, FOLLOWS AND FAVOURITES, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW HAPPY THIS MAKES ME. I LOVE YOU ALL.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PERCY JACKSON OR THE PLOT I ONLY OWN MY OC OPHELIA AND ACHILLES.
Chapter 7: D dog
"And for that little act you put on by there, you're grounded" he said in a triumphant tone.
WHAT THE HELL?
" Listen old man" I began in my most listen to me I am the queen tone.
" No you listen to me girl" " I am your father, I will not take this tone from you, you will apologise to me and then you will go and meet prissy and then come straight back!" He said in a strong voice.
"Well when you put it that way" I say in my most sarcastic voice, but I saw him quickly raise his eyebrows in the 'don't you even dare' expression.
"You know what D dog" " I take you up on that offer" I say in a bright tone.
" It's father Ophelia, now run off" He says dismissing me.
"Hold up, I think some explaining needs to be done and some introductions" I say dismissing D dog.
"Child its best you don't anger the Gods" Chiron said to me in an amused tone, at least someone finds me amusing.
"Ophelia, you are testing my patience, leave!" D dog shouted, well someone is a little sour this evening.
"Annabelle, take my daughter to visit prissy" he ordered her, and she actually done it without questioning him? I made a whipping noise as she gets up, she gives me the stink eye.
" So Annabelle" I dragged out her name, making her more wound up.
"It's Annabeth, listen here you may be Dionysus kid, but I am a lot more powerful than you, watch your back" She told me in a smug tone.
"No you listen here Bethy, Mm annoyed, I'm tired and I don't want to be here, I can be your worst enemy or your best friend do not make an enemy out of me Annabeth, because I will surely decide your fate one day and you will thank me in the out run" I spat at her furiously. My eyes glowing with power.
"I'm sorry" "You're just so much like your dad, your brothers are nothing like you in personality wise, you all just look to much alike" She tells me in a quiet voice
" Huh old D dog is well a dog, if you catch my drift" I said trying to make the situation lighter, she just looks at me strangely. The humour here is weird.
"Umm I'm not sure if I do" She spoke in a formal tone, lighten up Bethy it looks as if I'm here for the long run.
"Look Bethy I get it, you're a bit put out by my spiel of anger, its simple don't annoy me" I told her in a cheerful tone, it looks as if she's got whiplash by my moods.
"Look Ophelia, I'm not scared by you" Well that's just awfully rude Bethy, "I'm scared of your power" She told me in a serious tone.
"So... Are we friends?" I asked in a weird strangled voice
"Yeah we can be friends, I can see you don't have many, your a lot like Dionysus" She told me whilst laughing.
I'm glad I'm a source of amusement Bethy, I mean really.
"So my dad has other kids huh" I say, whilst we were walking past a bright pink house, quick secret, I dig the house, its rather pretty, All I could smell was gush of perfume as I thought that. It smells like Gucci Guilty.
" Yeah he has two boys, they're twins actually Castor and Pollux, they're the most sweetest boys ever, they have the control over plants and grapes, I'm guessing you have that power" She told me in a knowing tone, chill out Hermione.
We were quiet for a while just enjoying the nature and the camp, I'm more of an indoor girl but I've got to admit I have a soft spot for nature, it makes me annoyed that people chop down trees and destroy nature, we have one earth and we complain about it we all say we're innocent, but we murder it, I wonder how the god of nature must be dealing with it .
Just as me and Bethy were walking through camp, all I could hear was nirvana smells like teen spirit playing from a cabin, well the interior designer for this cabin sucks. It had barbed wire and blood and is that a pigs head? What the grapes is going on?
"Ummm Bethy, what's going on in that shindig" as I speak that, a boy ran outside he had pretty big muscles for a 12 or maybe 13 year old I'm guessing, blonde hair and hazel eyes. Eh he's cute.
"Why hello doll, I'm guessing your out from your lovely slumber" He spoke to me in a flirtatious tone.
"Betty, can you see a doll? Because I cant" I say ignoring that idiot of a boy.
"No Ophelia, I don't" She laughed playing along.
"Hey don't be like that Ophelia, a beautiful name for a beautiful girl, Môn cher" He spoke in a French accent.
"Dude are you French?" I asked him in a serious tone.
"Why yes Môn cher, I am indeed" Ohh great a French boy.
"I'm not your Môn cher" I told him in a dull voice
"Ahh but you will be one day, Môn cher" he replied kissing my hand.
" NO NO NO NO, BACK AWAY SON OF WAR! BACK AWAY! LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE OR I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE YOU INTO A GRAPE PLANT FOREVER!" I heard a voice bellow, ohh great D dog is crashing this party.
"Don't worry, dad I'm on my way to see Percy, this idiot won't bother me much more" I spoke to him reassuringly.
"Oh that's good, yes that's great!" He laughed in relief.
"Who is Percy?" the boy spoke in a strangled tone.
"My bestfriend" I said to him in a duh voice. I mean are all the sons of war idiots.
"That's great simply great, well see you soon Môn cher" He swiftly replied winking at me, as he dashed away from my fathers murderous looks.
So after that weird situation, we were strolling amongst the cabins quickly popping into Athena's so Bethy can pick up a book on some demi-god history stuff.
"So Bethy, who was that douche back by there, I mean Môn cher, who the hell does he think he is" I silently fumed, my dad is probably planning to kill him in many painful ways at this moment of time.
"Ohh that's our resident, French boy Achilles, all the Aphrodite girls love him, its rumoured that Aphrodite herself gave him a special power, he can apparently see his soul mates aura, so he knows who he's destined to be with, And apparently Hectate has blessed him" she states whilst mumbling about stupid French boys messing up her plans. "I came into this camp with him, but as soon as Ares claimed him we don't speak much anymore, but I can see that changing soon" She says whilst looking at me.
"So does he flirt with everyone like that, or am I just lucky", Who does the dude think he is? I mean back off, give mamma some space please.
"Nope, so far its you" She trailed off in thought
"Well as lovely as that is and I mean its very complementing, Where in the grape vines is Percy?" I asked in an annoyed tone.
" In cabin 11 and that reminds me you will now live in cabin 12" She says skipping merrily towards this cabin 11, which if I'm honest it looks kind of normal in this weird camp full of god offspring.
Inside, it was packed with people, both boys and girls, way more than the number of bunk beds. Sleeping bags were spread all over on the floor. It looked like a gym where the Red Cross had set up an evacuation centre. The people in there were staring at me, sizing me up. I knew this routine. I'd gone through it at enough schools.
"Well?" Annabeth prompted. "Go on."
So naturally I walked in there full of confidence not letting my mask falter, they wont be seeing any weaknesses out of me today, no sir not today.
Annabeth announced, "Ophelia Anderson, meet cabin eleven."
"Regular or undetermined?" somebody asked.
I didn't know what to say, but Annabeth said," She's Dionysus first girl."
Everybody snickered..
A guy who was a little older than the rest came forward. "Now, now, campers. We do not mock those who are from the Gods of plants, I mean who knows we could never grow anything in our life."
The guy was about nineteen, and he looked pretty cool. He was tall and muscular, with short-cropped sandy hair and a friendly smile. He wore an orange tank top, cut-offs, sandals, and a leather necklace with five different-coloured clay beads. The only thing unsettling about his appearance was a thick white scar that ran from just beneath his right eye to his jaw, like an old knife slash. The guy is a hotties but a douche, who the hell does he think he is for insulting me?
"This is Luke," Annabeth said, and her voice sounded different somehow. I glanced over and could've sworn she was blushing. She saw me looking, and her expression hard-ened again. "He's a leader in this camp."
"Well Liam, who the hell do you think you are mocking me? Does it make you feel special? Does it make you feel important? You know what? Plants can be very dangerous, with one wrong situation, a vine can strangle you to death, no way you can escape but maybe one day you could eat a poisonous plant? But then surely someone like you would know the difference? Right?" As I spoke at him the pictures in my head were projecting into his mind making him freeze.
"That's what I thought, so Liam? Don't make an enemy of me, I'm not forgiving, that's Percy trait" I trailed off
"I Like you" He beamed with a beautiful smile, " You tell me as it is, if your cabin ever needs help, hit up cabin 11" Well... I wasn't expecting that.
"OPHELIA" someone screamed, ahhh that's what I've been trying to find, Percy.
"Percy, its like you've never seen me" I started to carry on but he ran into me giving me a bone crashing hug.
"God Ophelia, How are you? Are you hurt? Has any boy come on to you? Are you dying? Have you been clai-"
"Dud l" "Umm to answer your questions 1. I'm feeling super, 2. Nope I'm not a doll Perce, 3. Yeah some douche called Achilles from the Ares cabin and to finish you off, yeah the old D dog has claimed me"
"D dog?" he asked with a puppy head tilt, awh bless he's so innocent.
"Dionysus" Annabeth cut in, really Bethy was there a need for that? I'm capable to finishing my own sentences.
"I knew it" Percy screamed "When I met him you guys are like twins its scary how much you're both alike"
"Is it that bad?" My voice trailed off.
"YESS" All of cabin 11 shouted.
"Come on," Annabeth told us. "I'll show you the volleyball court."
"I've already seen it." Percy said.
"Come on." She grabbed my wrist and dragged me outside. I could hear the kids of cabin eleven laughing behind me.
"What's your problem?" Percy was getting angry now. "All I know is, I kill some bull guy-"
"Achem I took part in that event, WE killed the bull man" I said pretty put out.
"Don't talk like that!" Annabeth told us. "You know how many kids at this camp wish they'd had your chance?"
"To get killed?"
"To fight the Minotaur! What do you think we train for?"
"Hmmm to wrestle with unicorns" I say sarcastically.
Percy shook his head. "Look, if the thing we fought really was the Minotaur, the same one in the stories ..."
"Yes."
"Then there's only one."
"Yes."
"And he died, like, a gajillion years ago, right? Theseus killed him in the labyrinth. So ..."
"Monsters don't die, guys. They can be killed. But they don't die."
"Oh, thanks. That clears it up." I spoke in an amused tone. Love is in the air between these two, I can smell that perfume again!
"They don't have souls, like you and me. You can dispel them for a while, maybe even for a whole lifetime if you're lucky. But they are primal forces. Chiron calls them arche-types. Eventually, they reform."
I thought about Mrs. Dodds. "You mean if we killed one, accidentally, with a sword-"
"The Fur ... I mean, your math teacher. That's right. She's still out there. You just made her very, very mad."
"How did you know about Mrs. Dodds?" Percy asked.
"You talk in your sleep."
"You almost called her something. A Fury? They're Hades' torturers, right?" I asked, already knowing I'm correct.
Annabeth glanced nervously at the ground, as if she expected it to open up and swallow her. "You shouldn't call them by name, even here. We call them the Kindly Ones, if we have to speak of them at all."
"Look, is there anything we can say without it thundering?" Percy sounded whiny, even to myself, but right then he didn't care. "Why do I have to stay in cabin eleven, anyway? Why is everybody so crowded together? There are plenty of empty bunks right over there."
I pointed to the first few cabins, and Annabeth turned pale. "You don't just choose a cabin, Percy. It depends on who your parents are. Or ... Your parent."
She stared at him, waiting for me to get it.
"My mom is Sally Jackson," he said. "She works at the candy store in Grand Central Station. At least, she used to."
"I'm sorry about your mom, Percy. But that's not what I mean. I'm talking about your other parent. Your dad."
"He's dead. I never knew him."
Annabeth sighed. Clearly, she'd had this conversation before with other kids. "Your father's not dead, Percy."
"How can you say that? You know him?"
"No, of course not."
"Then how can you say-"
"Dude, He's a God don't be an idiot right know" I told him sternly.
"How-"
"Diagnosed with dyslexia. Probably ADHD, too."
I tried to swallow my embarrassment. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Taken together, it's almost a sure sign. The letters float off the page when you read, right? That's because your mind is hardwired for ancient Greek. And the ADHD-you're impulsive, can't sit still in the classroom. That's your battle-field reflexes. In a real fight, they'd keep you alive. As for the attention problems, that's because you see too much, Ophelia and Percy, not too little. Your senses are better than a regular mortals. Of course the teachers want you medicated. Most of them are monsters. They don't want you seeing them for what they are."
"You sound like ... You went through the same thing?"
"Most of the kids here did. If you weren't like us, you couldn't have survived the Minotaur, much less the ambrosia and nectar."
"Ambrosia and nectar."
"The food and drink we were giving you to make you better. That stuff would've killed a normal kid. It would've turned your blood to fire and your bones to sand and you'd be dead. Face it. You're a halfblood."
I was reeling with so many questions I didn't know where to start. But the halfblood stuff was obvious.
Then a husky voice yelled, "Well! A bunch of newbies!"
"Clarisse," Annabeth sighed. "Why don't you go polish your spear or something?" Ohh feisty.
"Sure, Miss Princess," the big girl said. "So I can run you through with it Friday night." Ohh sass.
''Erre es korakas!" Annabeth said, which I somehow under-stood was Greek for 'Go to the crows!' though I had a feeling it was a worse curse than it sounded. "You don't stand a chance."
"We'll pulverise you," Clarisse said, but her eye twitched. Perhaps she wasn't sure she could follow through on the threat. She turned toward Percy. "Who's this little runt?"
"Percy Jackson," Annabeth said, "meet Clarisse, Daughter of Ares."
he blinked. "Like ... the war god?"
Clarisse sneered. "You got a problem with that?" "How about you girly? Who the Hades are you?"
"I'm Ophelia, do you need me to repeat that?" I trailed off.
"Don't be rude to me girly, I'll pulverise you" she spat at me.
"Clarisse, don't be rude to my Môn cher, or I will pulverise you" A voice said very clear as it came near.
"Sorry Achilles, she seems to be the one huh?" she asked in a piggish voice.
"Yeah" He replied gazing at me "Yeah she is" he said dreamily. Don't stare man its creepy.
"You are?" Percy asked protectively
"Achilles Radford, and you are?" He asked tightly, Percy coming up to him which wasn't a good idea since Achilles is twice the size of him.
"Percy Jackson, Ophelias cousin" He said hotly. You could see Achilles deflate at the news, as he strode over to me smiling merrily.
"I've got to go Môn cher, but I'll see you soon" "Look after her Anna, Percy and Clarisse? Don't antagonize her, I have a feeling she's much more powerful than any one of us" And off he went.
Now see ladies and gentleman, that's how you compliment a girl like me, I'm flattered.
"So Prissy, have you got a problem with my cabin"
"No," He said, recovering his wits. "It explains the bad smell."
Clarisse growled. "We got an initiation ceremony for newbies, Prissy."
"Percy." he said.
"Whatever. Come on, I'll show you."
"Clarisse-" Annabeth tried to say.
"Stay out of it, wise girl."
Annabeth looked pained, but she did stay out of it, and he didn't really want her help. He was the new kid. He had to earn my own rep.
"Well I'm also newbie, I'm sure I have to take part in this initiation ceremony" I trailed off my eyes glinting dangerously at her.
"Not you girly, Achilles would kill me if I harm you" she told me with respect.
Percy handed Annabeth his Minotaur horn and got ready to fight, but before I knew it, Clarisse had him by the neck and was dragging him towards a cinder block building that I knew immediately was the bathroom.
Percy was kicking and punching. He'd been in plenty of fights before, but this big girl Clarisse had hands like iron. She dragged him into the girls' bathroom. There was a line of toilets on one side and a line of shower stalls down the other. It smelled just like any public bathroom.
Clarisse's friends were all laughing, and Percy was trying to find the strength to beat her.
"Like he's 'Big Three' material," Clarisse said as she pushed him toward one of the toilets. "Yeah, right. Minotaur probably fell over laughing, he was so stupid looking."
Her friends snickered.
Annabeth stood in the corner, watching through her fingers.
"That's it Clarisee, you've pissed me off, and that isn't a good thing to do" I replied heatedly as my eyes rested upon her and her friends. Nobody messes with Percy besides me.
Clarisse bent him over on his knees and started pushing his head toward the toilet bowl. It reeked like rusted pipes and, well, like what goes into toilets. He strained to keep my head up. He was looking at the scummy water.
"This wont be happening today, Clarisse stand up and face me, face me like the bully you are!" I said to her in a calm up, and in a zombie like state she came over to me and stared into my eyes as I glared at her as she started screaming hysterically, she fell to the floor crying as water somehow poured all over our heads.
I Blinked looking away as she got up and looked at me with fear and respect, she looked at me if I was a god, I've never seen anyone bow down to me before.
She struggled, gasping, and her friends started coming toward her. But then the other toilets exploded, too, and six more streams of toilet water blasted them back. The showers acted up, too, and together all the fixtures sprayed the camouflage girls right out of the bathroom, spinning them around like pieces of garbage being washed away.
The entire bathroom was flooded. Annabeth hadn't been spared. She was dripping wet, but she hadn't been pushed out the door. She was standing in exactly the same place, staring at me in shock.
I looked down and realized I was also wet and Percy was the only one who was dry out of us all.
I walked towards Percy, my legs shaky.
Annabeth said, "How did you ..."
"I don't know." Both of us replied.
We walked to the door. Outside, Clarisse and her friends were sprawled in the mud, and a bunch of other campers had gathered around to gawk. Clarisse's hair was flattened across her face. Her camouflage jacket was sop-ping and she smelled like sewage. She gave me a look of absolute hatred. "You are dead, new boy. You are totally dead."
I probably should have let it go, but I said, "You want to gargle with toilet water again, Clarisse? Close your mouth."
Her friends had to hold her back. They dragged her toward cabin five, while the other campers made way to avoid her flailing feet.
Annabeth stared at me. I couldn't tell whether she was grossed out from the water or creeped out by how clarrise had a meltdown.
"What?" I demanded. "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking," she said, "that I want you on my team for capture the flag."
"OPHELIA WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GROUNDED"
"MÔN CHER" "MÔN CHER"
"GO AWAY SON OF WAR"
welcome to my life.
AN: WELL THIS WAS A LONG CHAPTER AND I HOPE YOU ALL LIKED IT, IF I GET SOME REVIEWS TONIGHT I MAY DO A SHORT CHAPTER ON EITHER DIONYSUS VIEW POINT AS OPHELIA MET HIM OR MAYBE ACHILLES, I'VE PUT LOTS OF HINTS IN THIS CHAPTER AND I FEEL EVIL DOING SO. I'M ALSO CONSIDERING DOING A SUPERNATURAL STORY OR HARRY POTTER.
Môn cher melts my heart.
