I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Heroes of Olympus
Toby860: I really considered your suggestions but I think all those who bathed on the river of Lethe tends to forget all of their memories of who they are, what do they do and all of the people they have known. So it was a little bit off if I let Percy retain some of his memories about the people he knew from the past but I made it kind of like he still remembers how to read and speak so he won't totally be a dumb person oh and don't worry about him forgetting the gods I already had a plan but anyway thanks for the suggestion I really appreciate it.
mrpuppy: about what you said you were right it was too soon for romance and I'm planning on making the romance department a little bit slower this time.
Gold Testament: river of forgetfulness well I guess you can call it like that and about the gods well you'll see in the next chapters.
Amazing-Thalia-Grace: I haven't heard the song before but when you commented it I kind of get curious and listened to it and you were right the first chapter really matches to it.
Chapter 3: Questions and Emergency lies
Percy's POV
I had a weird dream, it was like I was drowning on a lake, or a river, or a sea I'm not quite sure, and as if the water was eating everything in me. But then when I woke up I was lying on the ground but I'm not sure where I really was it was too dark and the weird thing was that I was soaking wet as if the dream was true and then maybe I'm already dead but I was too tired, do dead people still feel tired? Or maybe I'm still alive. I was too tired I tried to stand up but I can't even move my arms and legs, my eyes feels so heavy, so I decided to gave up and let the sleep take over me.
And when I woke up again I was in a house but the house doesn't seems familiar at all then I saw three people seating on the other couches opposite on mine one is agirl maybe about the age of 15 to16 years old she had spiky black hair, blue eyes and wearing a black leather jacket. She's wearing a silver circlet on her head like a princess's tiara which didn't match to her black leather jacket, sitting on her side was a boy he was about 14 to 15 years old he had a messy black hair dark eyes and an olive skin. He's wearing all black from his aviator jacket to his pants and shoes. Sitting on the other couch was a woman probably ages from 35 to 45 I'm not sure, she has a long straight brown hair with a few white stands on it and sparkly blue eyes that seems to be a little dull at the moment. They seems to be having a very serious conversation but that didn't stop me to ask "where am I?" the three people turned their gaze on me their eyes are portraying the same emotions which I thick was shock, hope, and as if they were pleading on me for something.
I was feeling a little uncomfortable under their gaze so I decided to ask the question again "where am I?" the older woman then said "You're at our house Percy, your home.." then the realization struck me like a lighting in a storm, then I started to blurt out questions "Who am I?, Where is these place?, Who are you?, What am I doing here?, Why can't I remember anything?" I was almost screaming, a lot of questions are floating into my mind and I needed answer's, why can't I even remember a single thing? I was holding my head with my two hands and shaking it, it feels like my head was going to explode in all the questions that are swirling on my mind, then suddenly a towel was dump into my head, I looked up and saw the older woman her blue eyes are misty and I don't know if it was possible but her eyes seems to change its color from sparkling blue to dull and black then she said "We will answer all your questions but you had to dry yourself and change your clothes first Percy" Percy? Was that my name? I didn't know but I felt like I had to oblige to her orders so I nodded she led me to the bathroom and gave me a fresh new set of clothes then said "Make sure you dry yourself ok Percy" I felt the urge to nod so I nodded my head then she said "good now go".
I felt the urge to take a shower because I really didn't know why am I soaking in the first place then I dried myself up, I put the new set of clothes that the woman gave me then I came out of the bathroom and then I headed straight back to the living room and I decided to take the seat next to the older woman. When I took my seat I then said "Well you said you'll answer all of my questions" they all nodded, their eyes were fixed on me as if waiting for me to ask a question then I started "Who am I?"
The older woman smiled then she said "You were Perseus Jackson but you prefer to be called Percy instead" I nodded so Percy was my name, repeated my name inside my head making sure I wouldn't forget it then I ask the next question "Where am I? Where is this place?" the girl with a silver circlet on her head rolled her eyes then she said "You were in your house here in New York, Manhattan to be exact" I stared at her then dumbly then I decided to just nod my head at least now I knew that I lived in a place called Manhattan.
I run my hand into my messy black hair then sigh "so.. ah who are you people?" the older woman sigh then she said with a smile on her face "I'm Sally Jackson Blofis I'm your mom" then I turn to the girl with a silver circlet on her head then she smiled at me then she said "I'm Thalia uh.. your friend" I nodded then I turn to the boy wearing a black aviator jacket then he said "I'm Nico.. Nico di Angelo your cou..." Thalia interrupted him by elbowing him which Nico returned with a glare then he returned his gaze at me then said "I'm Nico di Angelo like Thalia here" he gestured at Thalia then continued "I'm also your friend" I nodded and I tried to recalled what they just said in my head that the woman next to me was my mother Sally Jackson then the girl with a silver circlet on her head was Thalia a friend of mine then the boy next to her was Nico which is also a friend of mine.
Then I ask again the question that was bothering me this whole time "What happen to me? Why can't I remember anything?" they exchange gazes as if they were debating on how to answer my question then my mom Sally said "you guys were at the beach" I raise a brow then she said "you decided to take a vacation on Montauk then you accidentally drown and these two friend of yours saved you then they brought you back" I nodded maybe my dream wasn't just a dream at all but still something seems odd why would they take me all the way back here? So I decided to ask it "Why did they bring me back here? It was just confusing because you said I drowned on Montauk and they saved me and brought me back here? Why did they do that it just seems a little odd I guess saving your drowning friend wasn't but the odd part was when you saved him and bring him all the way back to his home…" Thalia bit her lower lip and was about to say something when Nico beat her to it then he said "Look man we were panicking uhm… because you're not waking up so we kind of think we should brought you home for Sally to see you, if you were fine or what so ever" Thalia nodded in agreement then I ask "Why not bring me to the hospital" then Nico said "Well like I said we were kind of a panicking and didn't know what to do so the first thing that comes to our mind was to brought you back home"
Well I guess it was kind of a convincing answer so I nodded then ask "So what do I do now? Or rather what do we do now that I can't remember anything…" My mom then answered "Well go to the hospital for the doctor's to check up your head and for us to know what to do next" I nodded then I gaze at Thalia and Nico who were looking kind of a little paler than they were before my mom looked at me then followed my gaze then she said "Can you wait here for a while Percy? I just have to talk to Thalia and Nico first" I nodded then my mom stands up followed by Thalia and Nico as they made their way out of the living room leaving me alone in the room contemplating the things my supposed to be mom and friends said.
