Chapter 12

Percy/Alpha

Capture the flag was rather... How do you explain this? Um, boring? They still stick with the no killing and maiming rule. If it were up to Percy, he would have allowed it. There's this thing called HEALING. Right after the game, they could have just healed whoever were injured. Anakin and Percy made their way to their cabin with Percy feeling uncomfortable. He felt like the war will start in less than 48 hours. Percy had a feeling that something will happen in 2 days. All they have to do now is train.

Percy woke up with Anakin shaking him. Percy rolled over ignoring his son's actions and went back to sleep but only to open his eyes when he heard sobbing. Percy sat up and looked at Anakin.

"What's wrong?" Percy asked.

"I feel uncomfortable, father. I feel pain in my chest like something will happen in 2 days." Anakin said.

Percy sighed. His son has his abilities. This was why Percy didn't want Anakin to get involved in these situations. He didn't want Anakin to get hurt.

"Anakin, that has happened to me before. It comes naturally in our family but I'm sure your sister inherited your mother's abilities." Percy said.

Anakin nodded and said, "Do we start training as soon as possible? I feel like the war will start in 2 days."

Percy sighed again and nodded. He's only here to help out with the war or even more. Save his friends that betrayed him long ago. Percy hasn't forgiven them but deep in his heart, he already did. Percy got up from bed and got ready for the day. He wore his usual. When he turned to Anakin, his son was wearing the same thing he was wearing. Black hooded assassin's cloak but with red trims, his armour was on, brown knee high boots and black leather gloves.

They both made their way to the dining pavilion where they'll have their breakfast. Percy was so sure he was going to bump into someone he was close to but he couldn't get it into his mind. He wasn't paying attention to where he was going until he dumped into someone. He was right all along. Percy looked up and saw Nico.

"Hey, Perce." Nico said casually.

"Nico." Percy said as a greeting.

"Are you going into the pavilion?" Nico asked.

"Yeah, that's the only place where I can eat." Percy said as if it's an obvious answer.

"Uh-huh." Nico said.

"Seriously." Percy stated.

Nico chuckled and said, "I'm kidding." Nico's gaze went to Anakin who was looking at his father with pleading eyes, wanting to eat breakfast. Percy followed Nico's gaze and looked at Anakin.

"You may go to the pavilion without me. I'll be there in a few." Percy told Anakin who nodded and said, "Thank you, father."

Anakin left once he said it. Percy looked back at Nico who had a shocked expression.

"You have a... son?"

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"No. It's just that... Whoa! I'm an uncle?"

"Nico, you just noticed that now?"

"Yes."

Percy chuckled and left without another word. He made his way to the dining pavilion and when he entered, he got the usual stares. Percy sighed to himself and thought, I know I'm used to getting stared at but being stared at by them, is actually getting annoying. Percy saw Anakin eating happily on the Chaos table. He walked over to him and looked at Anakin. He's worried about his son. Anakin is just six and he will fight in a war real soon.

"Yes, father?" Anakin said as quiet as possible so the campers wouldn't hear.

Percy shook his head and sat beside Anakin who rolled his eyes.

"I know when something's up. You're not alright." Anakin said.

Percy sighed and said, "I really cannot tell you. I will probably tell you during the war meeting."

Anakin nodded and continued eating his breakfast.

-Later during the war meeting-

"Is something bothering you, Percy?" Chiron asked.

Percy could feel pain in himself. He's got a link with Alicia and he could feel her pain. They must be torturing her and he could feel her life draining. He possibly couldn't get her back if they don't act fast.

Percy shook his head and said, "I'm just being bothered by Alicia being in pain."

Grover raised his eyebrows and spoke up, "You have an empathy link with her?"

"No. I could feel the pain of the ones close to me." Percy said.

"Like an empathy link?" Annabeth asked but it was rather a statement not a question.

"I could talk to them in my head no matter how far we are from each other." Percy replied.

"Cool." Travis and Connor said in unsion.

Anakin nodded in agreement. "Super cool."

Everyone's eyes were now at Anakin. No one really noticed him until now. They also didn't know that Anakin was Percy's son. Well, everyone but Nico since he found out earlier.

"Who is he, Percy?" Thalia asked.

Percy looked at Anakin and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Anakin nodded and stood up.

"My name is Anakin Jackson," Anakin started, "And yes, this is my father."

Anakin looked at Percy when he said father and sat down again. Everyone but Nico's eyes went wide.

"You have a son?" They all said out loud and turned their heads to look at Percy.

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Percy said and everyone turned to look at Annabeth who was absolutely shocked to found out that Percy had a son. Annabeth shook away the shocked expression from her face and said trying to stay calm, "And who's his mother? Alicia?"

"You're right, daughter of Athena." Percy said which got Annabeth to flinch at what he called her.

He still hasn't forgiven me? Percy read Annabeth's thoughts.

Percy just smiled.

"You and Alicia are married? Since when?" Malcolm asked trying to raise his voice but failed to do so. He feared that if he would raise his voice, Percy would assassinate him.

"500 years ago," Percy said casually, "Can we change the subject now? This is a war meeting."

"I agree." Nico said and Percy gave him a nod, thanking him.

"My father said that something else was also bothering him. I sensed something when we were at the dining pavilion." Anakin said.

"Your son is very diligent." Chiron stated.

Percy nodded in agreement and said, "What Anakin said was true."

Everyone's eyes were now on Percy.

"How is it true? That something was bothering you?" Katie asked.

Percy nodded and said, "Chaos told me 400 years ago that the Titans will rise once again. He also told me that something will happen to my family as it says in the prophecy. He also told me that it could end my life. That's what he feared."

"End your life?" Ariana asked trying not to shed tears.

"Yes. I won't try to change the way it is. I'm going to do whatever it takes so the Titans won't rise again. Even if it costs my life." Percy said.

"Who will take your position once you die then?" Annabeth asked.

"My son." Percy said.
