Chapter One
Apparently I'm On Medication
Percy's POV
I am worried sick! We were in Rachel's apartment looking at the unconscious Valerie. She had lost a lot of blood, but thank the gods she's okay, well sort of. She is one of my best girl friend, you know friend who's a girl. She's like my sister. Right now I'm holding her hand while looking at her pale face. It hurt to see her like this. "You think she's gonna be okay?" I asked my friends while turning my head toward their direction.
"It's hard to say, but I think so she might be unconscious for 3 days," Grover said while shrugging.
"Well at least we confirmed our suspicion, she is a half-blood. I mean the ambrosia didn't burn her up," said Rachel said with a worried look on her face. She look so beautiful worried. I know, I know what you're gonna say, "Percy you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't blah, blah, blah." Well to tell you the truth I don't feel the feelings I usually use to feel for her. I don't know, there just isn't a spark anymore, and I know she feels the same way that I feel. So between you and me I started feeling some things for Rachel, just keep it a secret please, so just shhhh, okay? Good
"What was that thing?" Grover asked.
"Ohhhh it was a, wait was it called again? It's a, a guyphon? Grichin? It's right at the tip of my tongue!" I exclaimed.
"It's called a griffin, sometimes known as a gryphon. Half lion, half eagle with a tail of a snake." someone behind us said.
We all snapped our heads back at the person who said that to our surprise, it was Valerie struggling to sit up.
"VALERIE!" I exclaimed and gave her a big bear hug.
"Squeezing….. me…..," Valerie choked out.
"Ohhhh I'm sorry," I said giving her a sheepishly smile. She smiled.
"How did you know the name of the monster?" asked Rachel.
"I have Greek Mythology class, is my favorite and I have tons of greek mythology books," replied Valerie.
"Well any who, Valerie we're glad you're okay, so I bet you have a lot question for us now, huh," Rachel said.
"Yeah, I'm glad too," Valerie said, "and now that you mention it I do have on question."
"Shoot," I said.
"What was that thing doing here?"
Well, to start things off, you're a demigod, half god half mortal…." Rachel started she told her everything to monsters, to quests, to heroes, to oracles (where she had a look of pride), to the battle last year, and how I lead them on. When we were finished she didn't even blink. Then she did something that completely caught us off guard. She laughed. Yeah, you heard me in this life threaten situation she laughed. I was expecting more of the lines of: "LIAR!" But hey this is Valerie we're talking about, you never know what to expect from her. When she showed her face again, she was red and wiping a tear from the corner of her eyes.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Grover.
"Come on, you actually think I'm gonna believed that? From my point of view I think there are two logical explanations for this 1: You guys are in medication or 2: I'm being prank," at this she touched the back of her head, "tough prank, but anyway I go with number 2," she said.
"It's TRUE!" we all exclaimed.
"You guys actually think, that I'm gonna believe that Percy saved the world last year, he barely notice when I steal his pudding."
"That was YOU!" I exclaimed. Valerie ignore me and looked at us like we gone mad.
"Valerie you lived it yourself, you used a bow and arrow, any way where is it?" Grover asked
Valerie looked at her moon ring and tapped, and in half a second it turned into a knife.
"What the, I thought it was a bow and arrow!" I exclaimed.
Valerie shrugged and looked just as confused as us. She tapped twirled the knife around and it turned back to ring. She studied for awhile and then snapped her fingers and exclaimed, "I GOT IT!"
"What?" I asked.
Look at it," she said while showing it to me, "It has 4 diamonds around the mood stone so I think it means that there are 4 weapons in this ring."
"Cool, so now do you believe us?" I asked.
"Yeah I guess but what's the difference? If I believe you or not?" she asked.
"Well we have to take you to a camp called Camp Half-Blood where is the only place you can be safe. There you train to become a better fighter and your godly parent claims you," I explained.
"Okay, guys so who are your godly parents?
"Percy is the only demigod," Rachel said.
"Then what are you guys, please tell me your not unicorns, cause if you are I'll swear I'll go crazy," Valerie pleaded. We laughed except Valerie who look dead serious.
"No, I'm the Oracle of Delphi, I tell no future and all that cheez. No biggy," Rachel explained.
You call telling the future with green smoke, green glowing eyes, who scares most of the hunters that they pee a 'no biggy'?" Grover asked, "But anyway I'm a satyr." Grover kicked his fake foot off and let go of his crutches. When she saw his hooves she turned so pale that the color white would have been jealous. I put a arm around her and yelled at Grover, "Grover put your feet back on, you're scaring her!"
"Sorry," Grover apologized sheepishly.
"My godly parent is Poseidon, God of The Seas," I said. Behind me Rachel coughed "show off". I shot her a glare. She just gave me an angelic smile (which I loved) and said "Sorry, think I'm coming down with something." I rolled my eyes and said, "We should get going, somebody help me with Valerie." And with that we got a cab and went to the best place for a man on medication: Camp Half-Blood.
