Son of Neptune chapter 4! Enjoy!
Chapter 4: Percy
Percy had just met Hazel, daughter of Apollo. Boy, was she hyper. He didn't know if it was the ADHD, or that was just her personality. Probably both combined. Hmmm... dangerous combination.
"Where do I sit?" Percy asked Reyna.
"With the Mercury kids, of course." she said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Um.. ok." There were many round, circular tables. The Mercury cabin had two tables, one for actual Mercury kids, and one for kids of the minor gods. Well, at least they got their own table.
Reyna drifted over to the Athena, no, not Athena, Minerva table to sit with her siblings. They all had blond hair and grey eyes. Percy tried to remember where he had seen someone like that before. As he thought about it, Percy realized that the person he was trying to remember was obviously a daughter of Athena. If that was true, then had he already known that he, himself, was a half-blood?
Percy couldn't ponder this much longer, because just then everybody stood up and scraped a part of their meal into the flames, as a burnt offering to the gods. Percy had another sudden flashback. He remembered doing this before, but it was a different place, and he had sent up a silent prayer: Whoever you are, tell me. Please. So, if this memory was true, and he wasn't just hallucinating (which was very possible), then he had already known that he was a demigod.
"Hey, so how'd you survive these past few years?" a boy at Percy's table asked. "I mean you're old enough for monsters to have started attacking you ages ago."
"Um, well, actually, I don't remember anything from before waking up in the forest. Reyna and some of her friends found me, and took me here." Percy sighed, wishing he could remember.
"Strange." the guy said, but at least he believed him. "I'm Cody," he said, stretching out a hand.
"Percy." Percy answered. The annoying thing was, some other people at the table started turning to listen to their conversation too.
"So you don't even know if its your mom or dad who's the god?" There was a girl sitting across the table from Percy, with upturned eyebrows. Almost everyone at the table had this same feature, and Percy guessed that it was because they were descended from Mercury.
"Nope. I wish I did, though. I just might be more interesting if I remembered something about my past." Percy looked down at the table sadly.
"Well, hope your amnesia passes." the girl said. "I'm Gwendolyn, by the way, but call me Gwen."
Of course, that night, Percy had to have a bad dream. It wasn't a memory, he knew, but something that was happening to someone important. He was at the Grand Canyon. Kids were on a skywalk, filling out worksheets. A school group, Percy guessed. Suddenly the wind picked up. Papers started flying as kids ran for the doors. They slammed shut, leaving four kids and a teacher out on the deck. They tugged at the doors, but it was like someone had locked them from the inside. One of the kids turned into a storm spirit, and after a huge fight, abducted the teacher satyr. He didn't know how, but Percy immediately knew the teacher was a satyr when he took off his shoes and there were hooves instead of feet. The winds calmed down, and a chariot with flying horses (pegasus) Percy knew immediately. A blonde with startling gray eyes leaped out of the chariot. Percy immediately knew that this was Annabeth, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom.
So this was the girl he had been trying to remember. And she was at the Grand Canyon. Percy then heard the guy who had been with Annabeth in the chariot, Butch, say that Annabeth had been looking for a missing camper. Then Jason, the missing Jason from this camp, Percy realized, asked who it was, and Butch said "Her boyfriend. A guy named Percy Jackson."
Hope you enjoyed! Plz review!
