POV: Hecate

I was going to kill them! My eyes blazed and the mortals around me jumped up in surprise.

"Get over it!" I snapped and they hesitantly looked away. I heard them mumbling hasty apologies. Jeez, what was wrong with the human population these days. I preferred when they didn't notice much. Now of course they start to invade on other people's lives. Personally I found it very tiring.

Now back to the topic. Where was Perseus? I couldn't sense him anywhere which means that one of the gods must have took him. Damn, I started to pace. There was no way I was going to survive going to Olympus to take the child. I didn't want the gods turning him into some Olympian worshiper. They had enough of them in that foolish camp they called Camp Half-Blood. Now the only way I was going to be able to get Perseus out is if I bait him to get off of Olympus by his own free will. But how would I do that? My plan was not going the way I wanted at all.

Perseus was supposed to grow up with Sally for two more years before she knew it was time for him to go to Camp Half-Blood. After going to camp Zeus was supposed to claim him and after that what ever happened was going to be according to how I wanted it. I needed more time as Perseus' Auntie Steffie. The boy had not come to trust me as fully as I would have liked by now and without that he wouldn't be ready for the truth of his birth. I knew it was going to be hard to do but I didn't expect everything to just fall out of hand. It was supposed to go my way and I hated that it wasn't.

I needed to fix this and fast but I was running out of ideas.

Two years pass and Perseus is now twelve.

POV: Zeus

I was overjoyed. Perseus, had been spending time with all the Olympians and one by one he started to trust and respect us. It was important for him to respect us because then maybe he would choose to save the gods and not end us. I also was happy because I wanted to get closer to my son. He had grown up for most of his life without me and now that I was here I wanted to be a father that he could trust.

The rest of the Olympians seemed to get along with him fine. Even Artemis went out of her way to be nice to the boy, much to our surprise. But she defended herself saying that she was only doing this for the greater good. I knew better and the rest of the counsel knew as well. Artemis finally loved a boy, as a brother of course.

"Daddy?" I turned. I was used to this, Perseus called me his daddy ever since he came here. I knew it was difficult to be away from his mother but he was a strong boy and he took it without complaint. We told Perseus that after everything with the war he would be able to return to his mother, Sally. I knew he was looking forward to this time but I wasn't sure I would be able to give him up if that time were ever to come.

"Yes, Perseus?" I answered a few seconds late, my face turning red.

"I was wondering if I could go with Sunny and see him rise the sun in sky around Africa?"

"In Africa?" I didn't want him so far away "Who is Sunny?"

"Oh, I am sorry dad, I forgot that you didn't know. Sunny is Apollo."

"Why did you call him Sunny?" I thought about it for a minute. "Nevermind I think I got it."

"Thank goodness, I thought that I would need to send to school." Perseus teased

"Well, if anything I will be sending you to school." I shot back and he smiled and hugged me before walking out.

Boy do they grow up fast or what?

POV: Percy

I was estatic, Dad let me go all the way to Africa to see the sunrise with Apollo. Of course I would be the one helping the sunrise but what ever. It was a once in a lifetime thing for demi-gods and mortals.

Watching/helping with the sunrise would make it easier to cope with the seperation from my mother. I missed her dearly. She was the parental gifure in my life for more than half and I had learnt to trust her. I would tell her anything and she wouldn't judge, just gave me advice.

Dad was nice as well but we didn't have the same relationship as me and mom did.

"Percy!" Apollo/Sunny brought me out of the discussion in my head.

"Yup?" I was still a bit dazed and struggled to return my head to the surroundings of reality that didn't involve my mother and the good times we had.

"Are you ready or not? If you are going to rise the sun with me you need to be awake." His voice turned teasing.

"Don't worry I am awake anyways."

"It didn't look like it. If I didn't know any better I would have thought that you were daydreaming." Sunny joked

"I was daydreaming, well it was more like thinking about important things." I explained and Sunny laughed and climbed into his sun car, which was in the form of an Audi R8, V10 Coupe.

"Just remember to pay attention. Being the sun is not always easy." I needed to roll my eyes at that. "Hey, you always need to make sure that the sun's rays aren't to strong or else it can burn the mortals." Sunny defended and I chuckled but got in the R8. "You ready little bro?" Apollo grinned and took off, not waiting for my answer.

"I would have said yes but it seems that you didn't really care to wait." I told him

"Yeah, I am sorry about that."

"I seriously doubt that."

"You are right, I don't really care because if I didn't leave that second then the sun wouldn't have rose at the right time." We ventured above the clouds now. I looked outside. The entire car was surrounded by a huge neon light, it seemed.

"Apollo?" I asked

"Yeah?" His response was a little off but I put it off as concentration. After all he was driving the car.

"Why is your car glowing?"

"Oh" His smiled widened "The car is glowing because it needs to look like the sun does it not?" I thought about that for a minutes.

"I guess so." I replied and didn't talk after that. The view was beautiful from up here. I could see the landscape and silently memorised the general climate that surrounded Africa. You never know, I might be sent to Africa in the future and it is good to be prepared. I absorbed every little detail saving it for another time. I wish that I could use my camera but the demi-god powers, somehow, could also mess up the way cameras work. I think I would have to talk to my dad about it, maybe he could fix the problem. He was after all the King of the gods.

"Percy..." A voice distantly said "Percy!" The voice repeated more forcefully this time.

"Huh, yeah?" I responded

"Dude, you totally blanked out"

"Sorry, I truly am. But the view from here is just amazing."

"I know, it is one of my many joys." Apollo glanced out "So... since we are finished do you want to go out to the mortal world and pick up a few chicks?" I looked around. I really hoped that dad didn't hear that or else...

"Apollo, I really don't think that you should have said that." Thunder boomed in the back ground and Apollo gulped.

"Yeah, I think I am going to take your word on that. I am really sorry little bro but I go to go. Bye!" He pushed me out of the moving vehicle and sped away into the distance.

"Like dad is going to like you any better, now that you pushed one of his sons out of a flying car." I muttered and willed the air to pick me up and fly me to Olympus. Dad was waiting in the throne room with a murderous face. I really did feel sorry for Apollo at this point.

"Percy, are you alright?" Dad was worried but he tried not to show it.

"Yeah, I am fine, son of Zeus remember?" Like he wouldn't know

"I know but still you could have been killed by a bird or something." I could hear the underlining tension in his calm voice.

"Dad, I am sure that I wouldn't let a bird kill me." I rolled my eyes, he was so over protective.

"I know that you wouldn't be killed by a bird but that is not what I meant." He paused "Look, the important thing is that you are safe again with me."

"Yes, I am safe with you. I am sure that you wouldn't allow anything to hurt me anyways, after all I was in your domain." I assured him and he relaxed only to tense up again.

"But when I get my hands on Apollo." He threatened, thunder and lightning flashed and boomed

"I know you will straighten him out dad." I hugged the King of the gods and left the throne room in a hurry. I really didn't want to be there when dad attempts to murder Apollo.

"Apollo!" He voice boomed and I quickened my pace.

"Percy!" I jumped at the sound. It was Hermes in his normal jogging outfit.

"Hermes, what can I do for you, dear brother?" I clasped hands with him

"Nothing, I just wanted to check and see on my favorite brother in crime." He winked and I chuckled

"What did you do now?" I questioned

"Nothing much, only took away every beauty product that Aphrodite ever owned."

"You know she is going to kill you." I informed him, although I had a hunch it wasn't the first time that he pulled this joke on her.

"No, she will have to catch me first and she wouldn't dare to mess up her precious hair." He turned to mist and vanished

"No fair, if I ever become a god I am going to do that all the time to annoy you." I complained

"I look forward to it." I turned quickly. Who could it be now?

"My queen, I am sorry if I disturbed you. I was just leaving." I bowed to the queen of the gods. I was lucky before not to have run into her on Olympus but apparently my luck had just run out. From what I studied in mythology, Hera hated her step children. Since I was a son of Zeus I assumed that she hated me as well.

"No, stay please." She grabbed my arm as to prevent me from escaping

"Um, okay?" And here I was. I was going to die, I hope that my dad and siblings would avenge me one day.

"Percy, I know what you are thinking but I don't hate you." She began. I closed my eyes and they snapped open at her statement.

"What? But you hate all the sons of Zeus." I stampered, tripping over my words.

"I don't hate them" Her eyes flashed and I tried to take a step back but she was still holding my arm. "Wait, before you go and judge me, you need to know that you are my son as well." My mouth fell open

"No, that is not possible." I was in denial but I had a good excuse this time

"Yes it is, did Zeus explain it to you?" I shook my head as a no, I still haven't recovered completely from the shock. "Oh, well he was supposed to" Her eyes flashed dangerously again and once more I tried to get away before this could end badly for me.

"My queen, are you okay?" I asked hesitantly, I didn't want to offended her but right now, what she was telling me was rubbish.

"I am more than okay." She replied "Why does everyone think that I am not okay?"

"Um, may I leave?" I was feeling very self concious right now

"No please stay. I promise to explain everything, just don't leave." She begged and I followed her lead until we reached a beautiful palace. I hadn't seen this one before but I guess I hadn't exactly seen much of Olympus either. She walked in and I gaped at the interior, it was as if everthing was perfectly made for her. It actually probably was anyways, everything must be perfect for the queen of the gods.

"My queen I believe you owe me an explaination." I figured that since I was going to die I might as well try to find out more about myself.

"Yes, I do." She began her story.

POV: Hecate

I am no closer to finding Percy than I was two years ago. My baby boy, he was still lost to me. During this time however I joined the Titans. I know that the god rule better and that stuff but the Titans offered me more than the gods ever would. How could I ever turn down power for honor? Anyways with the Titans they agreed to spare Perseus' life anways. I couldn't let anything happen to my baby no matter what. Well scratch the part about me not being closer to find him. I already know where he is I just need the gods to send him to their demi-god camp.

"Hecate!" I turned, it was Kronos. I bowed low, my head was touching the ground. "Did you even hear what I said?" He was not pleased. I gulped I was caught thinking about something else during a war meeting with the Titans. That was not going to sit well with anyone.

"I am sorry my Lord."

"Sorry? Well you are not forgiven." Kronos bommed and I tried to move and get out of there but he froze me in time. My eyes were dancing wildly from side to side. "I hoped that it wouldn't come to this but I am afraid that I must send you to Tartarus." My eyes started to move faster and faster in fear. A deep chill went down my back and I know that I had made a grave mistake joining the Titans. "Now, go!" The portal appeared and I was pushed into the seemingly never ending hole. The darkness rushed passed me quickly. I was falling, obviously, but I didn't know when I was going to stop. I closed my eyes and let the darkness over come me.

"Percy, I am so sorry." I whispered before I landed harshly, the air forced it's way out of my lungs and I gasped in surprise. I was in Tartarus the very place where all the monstors and demons lived.
