Finding Family chapter 12
Ncalkins doesn't own Harry Potter or Percy Jackson; ooc; might be au; thanks beta DarkLadyIreth
The next couple of days were hectic. Children of Apollo worked on Harry tirelessly, while their father exiled himself to his cabin and because of that, he never knew what was going on. Thanatos never left Harry's side whispering words of love in his ear when Apollo's kids did not force him away so they could stabilize him. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Percy, Thalia and Nico often went to visit Harry. They were worried about him, but they also had no idea what was going on. No one would tell them. But that all changed when Harry woke up.
Harry groaned feeling weak and tired; the poison caused by his magic was still pumping through his veins. Hearing gasps around him, he cracked open his eyes seeing his family around him.
"Hey guys, how are you?" Harry said in a weak voice.
"Hey. Hey! That is all you can say! You've been knocked out for days!" Thalia shouted. Harry looked at Thalia and was shocked to see her fighting back a smile and tears.
Harry managed a weak smile as Nico asked, "What happened? Nobody will tell us anything."
"You guys know about the love potion right?" They confirmed it. "Well, I rejected the thought of being controlled and my body created a poison that would kill me if I didn't find a way out or accept it."
Sounds of disgusted filled the infirmary, Harry's fathers gave Thanatos the evil eye but he did not pay attention he was too busy trying to hold back tears.
"Harry I love you! If I knew this would happen…" Thanatos trailed off as he wiped away a stray tear.
Harry softly smiled and said, "Its okay, I love you and that's probably why I held on so long."
Nico brightened and said, "If you love him that means your cured right!"
Harry smiled sadly at him. "No, see I may love him and Apollo…But Apollo has rejected me and as such I am still dieing. But now I'm not sure if it's the potion that's killing me or if it's my powers."
"What do you mean?" Thalia asked softly as she blinked away tears.
"You know how the potion makes the drinker go crazy if they don't want to be with those people. Eventually that person will waste away, so what to you think will happen to the drinker of the depositor rejects them." said Harry in a gentle voice as his brothers and sister bowed their heads.
"Harry if you do not die I promise I'll make Thalia, Nico and Percy immortal!" Zeus shouted in desperation.
Harry smiled and said, "I'm sorry dad this is not something I can control."
Harry saw tears flowing fast down Thanatos face out of the coroner of his eye. Harry turned to him and raised a hand to whip away some of the tears, but he could not. Just as he was about to touch Thanatos his hand began to dissolve into golden white bubbles. Almost something, you would expect to see when you take a bath or if you see a fairy dissolve when they reach the end of their life.
Horror lit Thanatos's face as he scrambled to keep Harry's hand in solid form.
"No. NO! You cannot leave me Harry! I love you!" Nevertheless, Harry's fingers and hand kept dissolving and slipping between Thanatos's fingers.
Nico and Percy began to panic screaming at their fathers to do something. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades did not know what to do so they did what first came to mind. The summoned glass jars for everyone and began to catch Harry as he tried to float away. In the chaos, nobody noticed Thalia slipping out of the tent. Thalia turned with clinched fist and a determined glint in her eyes she marched toward the Apollo cabin; ready to kick some sense in one stupid boy.
Pleas review this story! Well everyone it is almost over we just have to get through Thalia's but kicking and the wrap up! *smile* It has been great writing for you all; I am going to miss you all! I am serious I am getting teary eyed. *teary smile*
