"Right, next I need you to attack me! It will prove how powerful you are"
"Seriously? OK then"
I felt anger well up inside of me. I raised my two hands outstretched. A wave of water flowed from one arm and fire erupted from the other. I pulled my two arms together and willed the forces to combine. Zeus was hit and collapsed.
Is this an Alternate Reality Or Am I Going Insane?
I was so worried, I mean doing that to Zeus? Uh-oh. I willed myself to be elsewhere and found myself back at home.
My Mam smiled sadly. " I haven't seen you in a month Percy!"
I looked confused. "But Mam, I was only at Camp Half Blood 3 days and then I was at Mount Olympus for like an hour."
"Yes Percy, for you it was an hour. But for everyone else it was a month"
Now I guess why Gods don't see their kids that often - a month in four days?
I went back to Mt. Olympus to find Zeus waiting for me. "Lord Zeus? Can you explain something to me. A month has passed in a few days!".
He shrugged, "No it hasn't Percy. Are you feeling OK?"
I went back home.
"PERCY!
How's school? How did you get out? I just got a call from Mr.
Brunner, I have something to tell you; Percy you're a..."
Wow. What was going on here - that happened like five years ago!
" Mam. Can you tell me how old I am?" I asked.
She looked scared and backed away. "Oh my! You're so much taller than last month. Is this a side effect of being a half blood or am I going insane?" she screamed.
"You're eleven Percy! Eleven!" she screamed.
I slumped on the sofa. I am not eleven, I'm 16. Something was really wrong here. Hey, maybe it was a dream? But gods don't sleep.
Was I going mad?
I walked back to the Empire State Building after making myself appear a couple of blocks away. I ran towards the lobby to see everyone frozen. Annabeth was waiting for me outside, with fourty half-bloods. "PERCY! Kronos is coming." she looked scared. I looked at the calendar. Supposedly we hadn't fought Kronos yet - it was almost like going back in time. Last time, we had had to persuade the security guard to let us go up. I turned around and saw MYSELF standing next to Annabeth. The security guard waved me upstairs while the demigod group waited.
I could hear them shouting from the elevator.
"But that's me!" I heard the Percy clone shout.
"Is this a trick?" I heard Annabeth shout.
I willed myself to appear back downstairs.
" Hey how did he get down here?" shouted poor Silena.
I wondered if maybe just maybe I had travelled back in time.
I grabbed the other me by the scruff of the shirt and pushed him against the wall. He immediantly pulled out Riptide. I didn't want me to know my secret before I should .
I prentended to be scared that he would kill me and dropped him.
Annabeth then hugged Percy2 and walked up to me. "Are you a monster?" she demanded.
"No.." I said.
She looked puzzled and decided to settle on att acking me.
Her knife just passed straight through me.
"Who are you?" Percy2 asked me.
I decided to settle on the truth- he'd find out in a day or so anyway becauese he was me.
"I am Percy, God of Imagination and Protector of HalfBloods. And you are me..." I grinned.
All the demigods looked scared.
"Look, I am Percy Jackson. I am not a God, and never are you. You are probably Kronos in disguise." Percy2 screeched.
I silently prayed for Hermes to come. He would get a message to Zeus.
Hermes appeared, looking less than happy.
"Percy Jackson, where's this Kronos person?" asked Hermes.
He pointed silently at me.
I gulped.
I was thrown in a pit by Hermes.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"I am Percy Jackson. Look I can explain...."
"No listen to me! Percy Jackson is not a god. Percy Jackson is on the 600th floor right now. You are not Percy Jackson."
I sighed. "How can I prove I am Percy Jackson?" I asked him.
He looked at me ." I'll go and get Posiedon. If he thinks you are Percy, then I will let you go. If not .." Hermes trailed off.
Posiedon came and "claimed" me. I was let go. I just ran for the elevator and got up to the 600th floor.
I got myself to my full godly form and sat down on the floor. I heard a timid Annabeth appear at the door to the throne room. I stood up. She came in and knew not to look at me - she would be vapourised.
"I am Percy Jackson you know" I said.
She laughed.
I went back to my normal form and stood next to her.
I put my hand on her forehead and made her remember all the times we had had together.
She gasped, "You really are. But he is normal...." she trailed off.
"You'll understand soon Annabeth." I kissed her and ran.
I sat in a market stall in Olympus for a few days. I realised that I had been time travelling.
As I saw Zeus granting "me" immortality I ran up to him. He looked totally shocked - I was lying on the floor and standing next to him. I rose to my "godly" size.
"I've figured out my power - time travelling".
I clapped and wished for all of the travelling to be over. For everyone to forget. They did and I was back in front of Zeus - who was collapsed on the floor.

When he woke up I shouted. "Found my powers".
He groggily said "Whaaattt?"
I shouted again, "Time travel" and then explained everything.
