AN: Hey Guys I'm back! Sorry for not updating sooner, but I got a really hurtful PM (which included mainly curses on my race, and "my gay writing skills"). It's only the second chapter dude; I'm working on it! But thanks to my really awesome and nice reviewers out there encouraged me to keep on writing. Now some people ask questions in review, and I answer them in my story! So please do not ask the same thing over and over again, because I probably answered it in my story! Anyway on to the third chapter!
*** Sorry guys, fanfictions being grody and messed up my upload!
Hestia's POV (Percy is still two)
Previously On Percy Jackson, The Demigod Born From Flames:
What In the name of all things sane happened here?
Imagine Jay Leno, who just happened to be a Son of Dionysus, having a party in a very flammable room. Then he invited fifty other drunk people into said room. Now add the entire brethren of Party Ponies that just drank seventy root beers in said room. That is just a glimpse of the mess Hestia was seeing now.
Everything, the walls, vases, flowers—everything—was now painted in scribbles of crayon, sharpies, and some weird gold paint that looked suspiciously like ichor, the gods blood. The usual happy, cheerful puzzle blocks floor was now riddled with knives, arrows, and… was that skin marks? The was a hint of smoke in the air and there were some very colorful cranes flying around near the high cave ceilings. That didn't even come close to what Selene and Odyne looked like.
Selene's unusual but pretty glowing golden skin was now painted with sweat and rope burns… probably from the dark red ropes holding her back to the nearest rocking chair. Her usual dark chocolate brown hair, now looked like it had been through a bad dye process, with rainbow colored streaks reducing her hair to look like Charlie's Chocolate Factory. Her mouth was bound by a clear strap of fabric but held on by the same ropes that bound her arms and legs. And that wasn't even close to Odyne's problematic appearance.
Her usual long, red velvet hair was now cut short to her shoulders, which actually would've looked nice, if her hair hadn't been tied into two identical ponytails with little pink bows in them. She looked like a little girl, and the bib that read I Love Elmo wasn't helping much. Her usual pale vampire skin was now covered in face paint, bubbles, and was that baby shampoo?
Both aunts looked up at her sharply as soon as she walked in, blood red on silver, both scared yet relieved that she had came.
She immediately raced over to her friends and dissipated the flame ropes holding them capture. She knelt down and looked straight into Selene's timeless silver eyes and said in a worried tone "What the Rhea happened here, and are you alright?"
Selene shrugged out of her bonds, and started dissipating all the moonbeams, knives and arrows. She looked over at Hestia, worriedly wringing her hands and said sheepishly, "Well that's a long story. You see as soon as you left… Percy woke up, and we wanted to give him a bath… and well he put up a fight… and won…?"
Hestia raised her eyebrows, "So… you're expecting me to believe that two of the most powerful goddesses in the world got beat up by a two year old? How do I not know that you and Dyne over there weren't just trying to get to my cookie jar again and thats how the alarms went off and that's why everything is burned and there are cranes flying around the ceiling? And how do I not know that Percy is still just sleeping in his bedroom?"
As to make a point the cranes started circling around cawing out a tune, which suspiciously sounded like one of Rue's mockingjay songs. Hestia sighed and snapped her fingers and in a POOF all the cranes went up into the air like monster dust.
She sighed and turned back to Selene who was now standing up and somehow had managed to wash out all the colorful rainbow streaks while she was thinking. "You honestly, truly expect me to believe this Moonbeam?"
"Yes, and stop calling me Moonbeam, that's the most obvious used nickname, call me like… the North Star," stated Selene excitidly, bouncing on her toes like she had to go to the bathroom.
Hestia raised her eyebrows, her layered red hair swishing around her, covering her green flamed eyes. "The North Star," Hestia shook her head a tiny bit amused "It's a good thing you're pretty Sel."
Selene started to open her mouth to protest but Hestia quickly cut her off to avoid any arugments.
"Now back to the topic… I still believe you and Dyne did this… what do you have to say Dyne?" said Hestia turning around to see they had forgoten about their friend since she was so unnaturally quiet! Of course the gag helped.
Hestia rushed over and took off the gag from the thrashing Odyne. "Holy Poseidon, I'm so sorry Dyne, I didn't mean it, I'm truly sorry, are you all right?"
!DO NOT READ THIS PART IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BAD LAUNGAGE!
"Mother fuckin' shitty piece of crap ropes, stupid rat ass piece of bitch-ness, slutty whore bear arsehole," screamed Odyne, trying to get out of the fire ropes.
"Why don't you fuckin' help me out Tia, since you didn't even bother to help me escape the first time! NO you just ran straight to Selene, forgetting about how the pain goddess was in desperate pain!" spat out Odyne furious, yet there was hurt in her pitch black and blood red eyes.
!ALL RIGHT YOU'RE GOOD, CONTINUE READING!
Hestia stuttered, and her hands started to quiver as they reached out towards Odyne, "Please forgive me, I meant nothing by this, I'm so sorry, please forgive me, don't be mad big sister… Please!"
Odyne's pursed lips, folded arms and piercing glare clashed with the pigtails and the bubbles, but Hestia could see her scrutched eyebrows loosen ever so slightly after the sister bit.
Selene put her hand on Odyne's shoulder then quickly pulled it back with a hurt look gracing her beautiful face has if she had just been pain shocked. Which shouldn't have been a surprise to her since Odyne has pain shocked her a bunch of times for having "the most stupid ideas since tofu!"
"Yeah Dyne, please don't get upset, right now we have to worry about who did this… Hestia please believe us," begged Selene.
Hestia bit her lip, and turned to Odyne who was raising her eyebrow with a you-owe-me face on. "All right fine, I'll go check on Percy, just to show you two bozo's that he couldn't have done this sort of thing… I know I raised him better than that," said Hestia, though still hesitantly walking toward the bedroom where Percy slept.
She slowly got to the door and hesitantly put her hand on the door.
"Watcher waiting for Hestia, scared that your perfect little baby boy could do such a thing to maidens like us," taunted Odyne, still pretty mad that they "forgot" about her.
Selene gave Odyne a look. "Stop it Od, you're being mean, watch that fatal flaw there."
Odyne shot a look at Selene, then only as fast as the goddess of reflexes could do, quickly reached behind a watching Hestia and turned the knob to reveal Percy… sitting on the ground coloring in a coloring book. The room was perfect, warm red walls, soft carpet, night sky ceiling... everything was fine. Percy looked so relaxed and he had the most beautiful innocent face on, his warm green flame eyes were full and bright.
"Mommy you back, I missed you so much," laughed Percy, standing up on his wobbly two-year-old legs and launching himself into her waiting arms.
She picked him up and swirled him around laughing with him for no apparent reason. "How was your day, my little fireball?"
"Pretty good, I cowered in my cowering book and I payawed with my wolf toys that Sel got me," said Percy talking like he was a one year old again, but he knew that she liked it.
"You did, didn't you?" asked Hestia turning towards her two friends who looked like fishes. "Close your mouth you'll catch flies!"
It seemed as if the stress was just melting out of her. Being with her baby boy always helped her calm down. Hestia started laughing, finally letting it out after wanting to for a while. "Percy, these two were trying to blame that gigantic mess outside on you!"
Percy looked up widely and innocently, eyes turning to a timeless silver, "Me? Never would I ever do any ting wike that Mommy!"
Hestia nuzzled her baby's nose with her own, "I know sweetheart, that's why your aunts are gonna clean the enitre mess up!" said Hestia cheerily.
Selene and Odyne's mouth dropped open even more "But… what… nooo… he's lying."
Hestia gave a disapproving shake at her two friends. "Now why would he lie, Percy do you lie?"
"Nope Mommy, not at awl, thats what bad boys do, but I'm goowd," said Percy sweetly.
She kissed his check. "I know you're a good boy Percy but I think you should get some rest, because I know you did anything but sleep."
Percy kissed her check back and let his eyes burst into flame as he waddled over to his hearth shaped crib and whispered, "All wighty mommy, nighty night, and don't let the bear bugs bite!"
Hestia laughed softly, pushing her spluttering friends out the room, and said "Percy… its bed bugs sweetie."
Percy rubbed his head sheepishly then yawned an adorable little yawn, eyes blinking with sleepiness, "Oh wight, and love you mommy, with awl my heart."
Hestia smiled adorably at her baby boy, "And I love you with my entire immortal life." Then she quietly closed the door to Percy's bedroom and turned to her face her once again spluttering friends.
Sel's mouth dropped open "He… he lying!"
Hestia rolled her eyes, "Nice grammar Sel, and if you have proof, honest to goodness proof, you can show me… but I'm still not convinced. Just because you put syrup on something doesn't make it pancakes."
Odyne, quiet until then, suddenly snapped to attention, head darting up, and dragged Hestia by the arm rather roughly and started pointing things out in the clutter.
"The skin marks on the floor was from when Percy was crawling away from us. By the way your son is like a cheetah when he crawls. Anyway he didn't want to take a bath, so he somehow managed to make Sel trip over the rocking chair while chasing him, and then used his fire powers to tie her up," said Odyne, frantically pacing and waving her hands to and fro.
Selene suddenly jumped on board, getting what Odyne was doing, "And you see all this paint and crayon, Percy was coloring in his coloring book but… he wasn't even coloring in the lines, so I might have guided his hands… but then he got frustrated at me and, well, his hand exploded into flames! And you know—these markers and sharpie's stuff are highly flammable… they kind of just went… BOOM!"
Odyne then jumped up on the badly burned table and started pointing at the ceiling, "Did you not see the frickin' cranes lady! Only Percy can do that… and—and… look the cookie jar hasn't even been touched," said Odyne, forgetting to be mad, only now worried at proving her innocence.
"Yeah and then a giant parade or arrows and knives started swirling around him, there was at least six hunded… and—YEAH!" said Selene, eyes big like goldfishes.
Odyne rolled her eyes and scoffed. "There was only five hundred eighty-two Sel, get your facts straight!"
"Well I'm rounding up, who do you think you are… the math police?" said Selene defensively, crossing her arms with a slight huff.
"Yeah, but—" started Odyne, but a quick peal of laughter came from beside them.
Hestia was doubled over, tears of laughter pouring out of her eyes, and her hands clutching her sides. "You guys are so hilarious! HA, that was funny, and don't worry I know Percy did this!"
Selene and Odyne's mouth dropped once again.
"Then why didn't you punish him," asked Selene.
"YEAH, I looked like frickin' Shortcake Strawberry, by the way while were on the topic of revenge, I haven't done it yet of couse, but I can surely get into the little bungers head and inflict some minor… damage," said Odyne mischievously.
"Um Dyne, its Strawberry Shortcake, and for the pain thing how about hm… ah—NO," snapped Hestia. "And, plus, I already have my little Percy's punishment planned out."
"Well what is it?" asked Selene, her bright silver eyes curious.
"How do you guys feel about training tomorrow?"
