*Percy and Annabeth run attacking each other*
Six months later
"Percy! Your classes start in twenty!" My girlfriend Annabeth shouted throughout my cabin, her voice echoed. My cabin was made on the water, you needed to take a floating bridge to get here, I got a separate room, for saving the gods, and since I was the only sea gods spawn the entire cabin for myself. All the campers got together and made my cabin, I slept under the stars, still better than jail. My cabin had grey yet glowing rock walls in some spots, than drift wood in others. The floor was a soft tan color that matched sand in the sun, my room was simple, a bed (hammock), a window (it was actually the wall almost) and a dresser (deep brown) It was like a beach house in all ways possible.
"Go away." I moaned into my pillow, it probably sounded something like 'gr wayway' I heard feet on the hard wood floors and felt someone slash me with water, I growled. It wasn't annoying since I was Poseidon's son, but it woke me up that's for sure. I growled and slowly got up; Annabeth was smirking with her hair in a ponytail.
"Classes start in ten." She said before trotting out before I could lunge at her. I threw on a grey shirt and jeans I cut with scissors to make some shorts. I went to the bedside table and took Riptide, I never left without him. I opened the door from my cabin and walked outside into the bright sunlight. It was a new summer, new campers, but they all heard about us, or in many cases, heard about me. I stayed full year since my parents were….took a trip to Elysium. I blinked back the fog in my eyes and yawned, making my way towards the Battle arena. I leaned against the wall as the kids arrived, many had oversized armor and unbalanced swords, they were new, that's for sure. Their parents hid them during the war, the monsters had no trace of them from all the reeking odors. Many were young, seven or eight, they thought it was best to learn young. Some kids were older, but they all heard the same. I looked over and smiled as I heard the panting of Nico running in, his hair messy, he taught with me.
"Sorry I'm late dude, Bianca showed no mercy dumping water on me." He grumbled taking out his swords, I snickered and he punched my arm.
"Okay, how many of you have ever sword fought?" Nico started off, a few raised there hands, this was good for kids this young.
"Its okay if you haven't used a sword or dagger before, today we're going to find what weapons you're the best with. We have swords, spears, daggers, and short swords," "Or as I like to call them, chubby swords." I interjected, a few kids broke a smile. I went over to a table and tossed out a few weapons, Nico caught them and started passing them out. I went into the corner, Nico was better with smaller kids, I was better with the others.
"Mr. Why aren't you fighting with us?" I looked up, a girl with chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes asked, she was about ten. I smiled and rose, I held out my sword and she looked at it.
"That's a fine sword, I have a demigod brother, his name is Daniel, he showed me how to fight." She explained as I looked at her, I nodded. Daniel, a sweet kid, in the Hermes cabin.
"What's your name? mines Rebecca, but call me Becca." She grinned, cute little dimples. I got up and held out my right hand, she switched hands and held her sword in her left and I leaned mine against the wall.
"Nice to meet you Becca, I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, best fighter, and also go by Shark tooth." I smiled, she froze her eyes going big than dropped her jaw.
"Wow…you're the legendary Shark tooth?" I nodded and she hugged me.
"Can you show me your amazing moves?" She gasped, I laughed and rose her in my shadow.
"Hey Percy, finally brave enough to fight de amazing Nico?" Nico said doing a strange Latin accent. I laughed and held Riptide at the ready.
"Watch closely kids, you may learn something from the amazing Shark tooth." I grinned and Nico scowled and we lunged, I kept my left hand in my pocket, I never used it anymore…. Nico thrusted, I parried, he slashed I rolled, he ducked and I swung, He yelped as I almost hit his leg, and tripped backwards. I aimed for his head and he ducked leaning forward, I kicked his foot back and he landed hard, I held the sword above his back.
"Uncle." He croaked and I let him back up. He shook his head.
"One day I'm going to beat you." He muttered, I snorted and the kids were staring at me, they raised there hands like they were in school.
"Um….you?" I pointed to a black haired girl.
"What's your swords name?" "Riptide." "Where did you learn to fight?" "Kronos kept me in his prison, I learned by watching others." I replied swiftly, many hands still stood, I sighed.
"No personal questions." I said, a few hands fell, I sighed again. "That means no questions about my time captured." Almost all the hands fell, Nico smirked. A kid that looked like a geek had his hand up, I picked him.
"Why don't you use your left hand in battle? You could hold a dagger in it, or give your sword more power." He offered, my face darkened, Nico reacted quickly.
"Erm, that never happened, yeah the question about his left hand never happened in this a-"
"I'll tell you why." I said quietly, all eyes on me, Nico dropped his jaw.
"What? Dude, it took you weeks before you showed everyone at camp! Now your going to tell some random demigods?" He protested, I flicked his nose.
"You're just mad that I attacked you when you wanted to arm wrestle me, than mocked me and I pinned you down one arm behind my back." I said, he grumbled and sat on a bench. I looked at the little kids, some had their heads tilted slightly as if to see a better view.
"In the latest war, you all heard about how I rescued the gods and found Poseidon and Hades, than found that the rest started a war thinking that we were captured?" The little kids nodded, I smiled.
"When we got there, I was like a god, all monsters feared me, I guess it didn't help that I took down a Drakon single handed…." I muttered, I heard Nico mumble some words, probably mocking me, I grabbed a wooden dagger on the ground and hurled it, Nico yelped as he was suddenly pined to the wall by a dagger through both of his sleeves. He started struggling and cursing, the little kids laughed, I went back to the story.
"Well, I wanted my revenge and went to a clearing where all the leaders, gods, and titans stood, than Kronos appeared and I fought him…"
"But your alive!" A tiny blonde haired girl squeaked I smiled and she relaxed.
"I was strong, but not good enough, when I wasn't looking, Kronos spun and his scythe cut my hand off." loud gasps filled the arena as I told them this than removed my left hand from my pocket. I long ago got rid of the idea of putting my hand back together, I had it suspended in frozen animation in a glass jar hidden below the floorboards, I don't want it stolen. The wrist of my left hand was now just a nub, the skin healed turning it into a half sphere end. It had disadvantages, if any other creature touched it, Kronos's scythe worked its magic and intense pain shot through it, it used to be like that with my scar, but it wore off long ago. A cool thing I found out, was if I buried my wrist in wood or leaves, it burst into gold flames, I never told anyone else, I could control it slightly. The kids left excited and ready for supper, wow I slept a long time. I made my way to the dining hall, and sat alone over at my stone table, Grover often joined me.
"You ready for capture the flag?" He said excited. After the war, Chiron allowed nymphs and Satyrs to play in the games too. I smiled taking a chicken wing and eating it carefully, my arm in my pocket. Many people thought that after I lost my hand I couldn't do many things, I proved them wrong. In Pegasus flying, Blackjack took caution and told me every move he was about to do so I could prepare, even Selena was impressed. With the climbing wall, I relied on my leg more, I let my left arm dangle and used my leg to kick me up, my right to pull me, and yet I was still faster than Nico. I improved in Archery, Chiron made a special bow, it had a little loop at the end I slipped my wrist into to hold the bow up, I could now actually hit the target! I smiled at my thoughts and finished my corn on the cob single handedly, Nymphs rushed forward and took my plate, and they always did honor me now…
"Shark tooth!" I looked at who called reflexively, and scowled, everybody knew I hated that name, three reasons. 1) I got it after I died two times, 2) That was a name of a man with no problem with killing 3) Kronos made it up. I scowled and looked over at the ripped mass of Clarisse walking over with three of her goons, my left eye widened slightly, even though we got together fine on missions, she scoped out bulling targets smaller than her and gained skills, she was at Nico's level yesterday, if she could take me, she'd be the most feared person. I straightened and glared, my eyes narrowing and turning a shallow cold green, it was nice being able to control your eye color.
"Go away Clarisse." I said low and threatening, she didn't care.
"Aww. Chew toy doesn't want to talk with us, I wonder why?" She said smirking, I felt Riptide ready to be drawn in a second. It was on.
"No, sending smart comebacks won't work because your skull is too thick to pick them up, Hog breath."
I growled, she blinked before sending her goons. I flipped over the back of the first one stealing his sword, I threw it and it sunk itself deep into a haystack for the Pegasus, I than spun back tripping the punk and sending him over my back knocking him out, the other two charged like bulls. I twisted, knocking the short bronze sword out of the girls hands, she yelped as I grabbed her shoulder flipping her over and tossing her moaning form aside. I twisted, and knocked the other guys dagger from his hands, he growled and drew two duel swords. I froze with recognition as I saw the engraved righting on the blade tip. Never give up without a fight. That idiot took my swords…o no he didn't! I snarled and his eyes widened as he noticed that I recognized them. He slashed, and I became stiff as the swords went right past me, I kicked him in a bad spot and he yelped dropping the swords, I knocked him over taking my swords and jabbing them into the dirt, I stiffened as I felt horrible pain. It slashed downwards and vanished a second before heart killing agony broke through, I clamped my hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming, I blinked back tears of pain. I drew a shaky breath and looked up, I didn't realize I was on the ground until then. I saw the horrified face of Clarisse, she held the dagger I knocked aside and eyes wide in horror at what she just did. I looked left, a small but noticeable two inch long deep cut was across my wrist of my left hand….the cursed hand, I moaned as more pain pulsed through.
"Oh my gosh Percy….i didn't…it was an accident!" She yelped taking a step back, I growled lowly as summoned through the haze water to travel under the earth.
"Than why did you have armed goons here!" I hissed. She paled.
"So you wouldn't be in capture the f-flag." She stuttered, I summoned the water to come up and cleanse my wound, it was still there but wasn't bleeding.
"Next time, I'll show you what Shark tooth does with dis-respect." I snarled getting to my feet, she whimpered and ran off, I shook off the pain and grabbed my old swords, I put them in my thigh sheaths I always had with me and started towards my cabin.
"Hey Percy, can you help me w- wow, what happened dude?" Nico said, eyes wide, probably sensing my soul fading, I showed him my cut and he blinked.
"Oh gods, what do you need?" He said hurriedly.
"I'm fine, I just need something from my cabin." He nodded and I started towards my cabin. I barged inside and made my way towards the fountain in the quarter of the room, the water was from a fountain in Olympus and blessed by the three graces, it put anyone in a good mode and cleaned all wounds. Clarisse was going to get Hades tonight.
'Capture the flag'
People rushed towards the table to get equipment, I stood in the back and waited, I was in the blue team, they wanted me to wear a helmet, but those horsehair plumes are ridicules, I just made a blue headband and a blue string from my shoulder to my hip and around my back. We were sending a Apollo kid to hide out flag, he was going to use an arrow to shoot it into the branches of a tree up in the air, the tree was already dead so the nymphs let us.
"Heroes, the creek is the boundary line, no maiming, all magical items are allowed, I shall serve as the games medic and referee, begin!" Chiron shouted and we raced into position. I ran, well I was the fastest, but we had an arrow point to penetrate into the forest, me in the lead flanked by Nico and Chris, than Travis and Conner. I nodded as we leapt the creek, and dashed into the woods, I heard a yelp as Conner was taken, but still we ran. I knocked a Aphrodite girl to the ground with my dull side of my sword before she could shout, we ran even more, the others were panting, I was not, I looked off and suddenly ducked as a net flew at us, Travis screamed as it launched him into the air. Nico nodded and we continued. I had a funny feeling as we turned into the clearing of Zeus's fist. On the rock sat Annabeth wearing red, yeah Chiron put us against each other. Down below was Grover, another Satyr, and the Demeter kids.
"Hi Percy, impressive getting this far, but your not getting any further." Annabeth said drawing her knife, I drew my sword; she sighed and nodded to Grover. Confusion filled me before I heard muffled shouts, I turned and gasped. Nico and Chris were being attacked by plants. Thick vines gagged there mouths white grape vines bound their arms, more were coming turning them into a cocoon.
"Crap." I cursed and chopped away a plant that dare grab me, the Demeter kids were sweating, Grover and the other goat were playing like a maniac. Annabeth jumped down and started to engage me.
Okay, trying to fight Annabeth is hard, even for me, I didn't want to hurt her, but when she played this, she played hard, I have a scar to prove it too. Okay, I was fighting a skilled girl, while inch thick vines were trying to wrap around my legs thanks to the goats, and grapevines pulling me down, one grape vine is easy to break, but a few hundred, not so fun. I grunted as a vine suddenly grabbed my right arm. I dropped my sword and another thick vine grabbed my torso and it started to pull me down.
I cursed in Greek as a strange looking vine worked its way up.
"You have to be kidding me!" I groaned as more thick vines wrapped around my chest dragging me into a laying position. I heard snaps and dared to look back.
"Bamboo?" I raised an eyebrow. Sure enough bamboo was growing, it split around my legs and fused back together, it finished with my legs and tied down my right arm, I didn't find this a threat before I tried to move.
"Don't even try; Bamboo is one of the world's hardest plants." A Demeter girl stated happy, I narrowed my eyes, I felt like a mummy.
"Yes, but all plants have a weakness." I said hard. Annabeth laughed.
"Don't try water; all the plants we used are strong enough to survive a hurricane!" She grinned, I frowned…well I always could. I felt my left arm pressed under my body, I always knew the gold fire never hurt me, but hurt things around me.
"I can't believe you forgot about this Annabeth." I make a lopsided grin and she frowned.
"What are you talking about?" She said tilting her head, I focused in my mind, and felt the warmth.
"Fire!" I hissed and golden flames exploded from my wrist, they screamed and the vines burned, I went over to Nico and Chris still burning and freed them, they stared in awe. I removed the fire and held my sword out at the ready, the Demeter cabin charged. I tripped the first one and made a shallow cut on his thigh to prove I wasn't playing around. The guy backed away eyes wide, Grover yelped as he saw my eyes become hostile and cold, it wasn't a good outcome when they were looking at you. I grinned wickedly, and dodged an arrow and using a throwing knife to pin a boy into the ground, I growled as a girl tried to hit me with a club, I twisted and punched the club, snapping it. She yelped as I tossed her into the woods, I than turned to see a small brown haired boy charging with a spear, I took his leg and flipped him over making him land on his back with a 'thud'. I looked around, and ducked a long sword from slashing at me, I flipped over, and twisted about to give a punch, but the girl with the long sword had a hidden dagger ready. I growled as the dagger tore across my face. The skin ripped too easily, I suddenly realized why clutching it with my hand, it was my scar opened up again. I closed my eye and let the blood drip down, I kicked with my boots and grabbed her neck pushing the pulse spot, she crumbled passing out. I looked up to see a almost scared Annabeth. I turned and used my feet to propel me up with no troubles.
"Sorry Wise girl, but this flag is mine." I said grinning, she thrusted with her dagger, and I grabbed it, cutting it through her shirt and into the rock, she froze for a moment before struggling against the rock she was pinned too.
"Nico job Percy." Chris said getting out of the vines, I grinned and took off running, my face was starting to sting painfully. I jumped the creek and landed on our side, people cheering happily, I got a few shoulder claps but only clutched my face, people probably thought it was a headache.
"Blue team wins!" Chiron shouted trotting over, I forced a smile as more shouts came, Chiron frowned to me.
"Percy, is there something wrong?" He offered kneeling down.
"Yeah, I got a cut opened up again." I grumbled and flinched as it pulsed in pain.
"Let me see." He said removing my hand, he quickly covered his mouth and held back a gasp.
"What is it Chiron, Percy!" Bianca said dashing over from the red team, I didn't want to know what my face looked like. An Aphrodite girl came over with a folding mirror.
"Crap." I said, my left side was opened to the cut, it split right on the cut so you saw the faintly blackened muscle under it, it was bleeding hard and seemed to cut a small vain. I reached for the creak and a little bit of it stopped bleeding.
"Lord Apollo help us!" A few Apollo kids whimpered as well as the others. I saw a bright flash of light and blinked my open eye.
"Hey kids, watcha need? Whose hurt?" I heard the o-so-amazing Lord Apollo say, I saw him lean against a tree and a few Aphrodite girls sighed. I rolled my eye.
"Hello Lord Apollo, I believe I am the one hurt." I said he met my eyes and broke into one big smile.
"Hey Percy, long time no see, wow, that's one bag cut." He tisked and started healing it, his hand glowed white and first his face was disbelief than effort, he started grunting trying to heal it. I felt the pain leaving and it very slowly heal, he grunted some more.
"Dang, how did you get this stupid scar!" He growled when it finished healing.
"Kronos's scythe." I answered and he growled snapping his fingers. I put the cap of Riptide on quickly and went to the creek to get rid of the blood, I used my one arm and started washing the blood off, Apollo watched me. Some time the campers left so now it was only me and Annabeth with the presence and honor of Lord Apollo.
"Why are you washing with one hand." Apollo asked, wow I think he has short term memory.
"Because Kronos hacked off my hand, remember?" I asked waving the nub of my wrist around, a little flash of recognition appeared and he smiled.
"We gods never did thank you for defeating Kronos did we?" He asked still smirking, I shrugged, and Apollo snapped his fingers, drowsy ness overcame me, the world went black and I slumped.
The dark was strange, comforting but yet it wasn't, occasionally the dreams of torture came back but I had grown used to it.
"I still don't get why you had to knock him out." I heard Annabeth say in the distance. Annabeth! My eyes flapped open and I yawned, over in the corner, Nico, Annabeth and a very satisfied looking Lord Apollo stood smirking, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and yawned again. Than froze. I rubbed sleep out of my two eyes. At the same time. Which needed two hands. I looked down and a large smile appeared, there on my left arm was a fully functional left hand, I stretched the fingers and rolled them into a fist.
"Oh my gods….." My eyes were huge looking at my lost hands. Suddenly Nico groaned.
"Now I'll never beat him in swords!" He groaned, I snickered and grabbed a knife still here from the capture the flag game, like what I did with Annabeth., I launched it and pinned Nico to a tree.
"No fair!" He yelped. I heard Apollo laugh than vanish back to Olympus.
"Come on, free me and I'll give you twenty bucks!" Nico yelled, we laughed and started walking to camp.
"Fine thirty!" He shouted, we continued walking.
"I'll let you date Bianca!" He shouted before his voice vanished from the forest.
