Chapter Three
Percy's POV
He ran his sword through a dracane, then kicked another monster away. Demigods were dropping like flies, they were out numbered. So far only ten living halfbloods were in his vision. No matter how much he wanted to roll up in a ball and cry he couldn't. He had to stay strong. He was the leader they all looked up to.
"Annabeth!" Percy yelled out, wiping the monster dust clinging onto his forehead.
Even in battle she looked beautiful, her blonde curly hair bouncing up and down everytime she knocks monsters down, her grey eyes shimmering with knowledge, but even he could see the tiredness waiting to come out. This monster could be her last.
She looked up, Percy pointed to Gaia, the gods were failing to defeat her, she was older than the gods and older then the titans themselves.
She was swatting away the weapons which were being thrown at her. She was beautiful no doubt, forest green eyes, black wavy hair and the softest ivory complexion. But he knew her ugly heart and her evil attention, she wasnt attractive to him.
"Dont do anything stupid seaweed brain" she yelled throwing him a minor glare. Shes going easy on him.
"Hence the nickname" He laughed back. Percy then sprinted towards the Centre of the warzone.
He twirled riptide between his fingers and aimed it right at Gaia's heart. Squinting his eyes he threw it. Controlling the water molecules to guide its way through the battle.
The sound of metal cutting through flesh caught his attention.
Gaia was smiling evilly, in her arms a limp girl, not just any girl Annabeth. Right in her gut was Percys favourite sword, Riptide. He stumbled back in shock, he realized that the battle went awfully silent. They were all staring at him in pity and sorrow.
Letting out a scream of agony he threw his head in his hands. He pulled his black hair and sobbed. Tornadoes were everywhere, a hurricane was forming around him. Lightning could be heard, and the sea was crashing angrily against the shore.
Looking up his gaze was stuck on Gaia and Gaia only. All he could see was red.
End of dream*
Percy woke up yelling defiantly, this was the first time he had this dream, probably since this was the first real sleep he had since the war a few days ago. Shaking he sat up right and looked around. The school was kind enough to let him have a room to himself. Though he didnt know why there were extra beds. Today Nico's coming, he was like a brother to Percy. He just hopes he'll make it into Gryffindor.
Running his hand through his hair he sighed, little rays of light was peeking through the slightly opened curtain which was the only way he knew it was morning.
He never socialized last night. He went straight to bed after saying goodnight to Lily. He was also never permitted to waer the school uniform which Percy found great. You couldnt move in them at all, they were like dresses.
After he was done having shower and getring dressed he went into the common room.
He wasnt the only one up. Sitting next to the fireplace was a girl. He couldnt see how she looked like since she was covered by a book she was reading but he could make out a few freckles on her nose and brown wavy hair.
He quitely sat across from her patiently waiting. "Unicorns. amazing creatures, just sipping its blood can make you immortal hmmm" She mumbled to herself.
Percy lifted a brow. "Dont tell me your going to kill a unicorn?"
She let out a startled scream falling off the couch. Percy winced. Woops.
She jumped up glaring menacingly at him but percy didn't bat an eyelash. "Why did you scare me? I couldve broken my arm or even worse my neck?!"
Her voice was heavily dipped with a british accent and used her hands alot when she talked. She kind of reminded him of Bianca, though she didn't yell at people.
"Sorry" he smiled at her. "I'm Percy Jackson" He gave her a hand to shake.
She looked at his hand as if it was made out of poison. "I know, My names Hermione Granger" (just a friendly encounter people) she hesitantly put her hand in his. Giving it a quick shake.
She observed him. She had brown eyes specked with a few grey streaks. She looked smart and he was wondering in he should just excuse himself and go down to breakfast.
"Your from America?" she suddenly asked.
He gave a quick nod. "And there are more of you coming?"
"Yep, just three more." She continued to observe him.
"How did you get the scar?" She questioned curiously. Ti be honest if she was a daughter of Athena he wouldnt be surprised.
'Oh you know,before the earth mother died she gave me a little reminder of the horror she brought upon me and my friends.' He thought but instead started to play innocent. "I dont know to be honest. Mum said it was a long time ago."
Oh okay"
After that little interrogation Percy ran out of the common room. He promised little Lily that he would wait for her but if he had to answer one more personal question Hermione throws at him, he would loose it completely and end up assassinating her instead of Dumbledor.
He grumbled under his breath as students from all houses gave him curious glances then whisper to their friends. Oh how much he'll show them when Nico comes. He'll make nico do the same thing with him.
"Mr Jackson" turning around he came face to fave with a pink toad. She looked at his clothes with distate. "Wheres your unifrom?"
Why is everyone questioning him today? "The school allowed me to wear my own clothing Miss Umbitc- I mean Bridge."
She growled slightly "Well I'm from the Ministry of Magic and I order you to wear proper clothing"
Percy just rolled his eyes and continued to walk over to the great hall. He could hear her heels clapping against the brick floors but ignored her. He wasn't in the mood to play break the toad.
Flopping next to lily's usual spot he waited until breakfast started. Tapping his hand against the table he a analysed a few people walking through the gates.
They were all laughing and talking together. Something Percy feels like never doing so in his life.
A sudden voice met his attention. Lily was calling out to him, pulling a boy her age towards them. He smiled softly at them. The boy had black hair and purple eyes children of hecate only have amd sudden recognition fell upon Percy. This is one of the demigods percy taught sword fighting to. Annabeth herself was very close to him.
"Percy?" he gasped.
Percy let out a small laugh when he hugged him "Ricky" he hugged him back.
Lily gave them confused looks. "We used to go to the same dummer camp."
She nodded her head in understanding. People gave them dirty looks. Percy glared menacingly at them and they all scrambled away.
"How long was this going for?"He suddenly asked.
Both Ricky and Lily looked at each other. He found that somewhat cute. They looked and acted completely different from each other. Lily was the outgoing one and Ricky was the one that kept to himself. Their friendship reminded Percy of his and Annabeths when they were younger. And he promised himself that he would help them no matter what.
"Since first year" she muttered. Brushing a strand piece of hair behind his ear.
"I got a cousin who is coming, and i promise that we will help you" he told them seriously. They smiled brightly at him which made percy smile back.
"Percy!" He looked up to see Nico.
They did the man hug (Dont know what its called lol) and talked in hush voices.
"Erebus contacted me yesterday. He wants the four of us to go in separate houses so we could find more information" Nico started off "Which house are you in?"
"Gryffindor, but we have to be careful man. Theres this toad thats not leaving me alone and lots of wizards are nosy"
Nico nodded his head in understanding. And continued to talk about the mission to Percy. "Dumbledor needs to go now" He hissed.
"We just came" Percy hissed back. "They'll obviously know its us if we do anything."
Nico looked like he wanted to say more but percy put his hand up signaling it was the end of the conversation. "We'll wait until Leo and Thalia's here then we'll talk about the assassination. Okay?"
Nico scowled at the ground but nodded anyway.
Percy sat down and carefully watched as Nico made his was up to the stool. Once he sat down the hat was silent for a few minutes. "Slytherin!" It yelled the table erupted with cheers. He walked off to sit in the table. Ricky looked estatic when Nico ignored everyones request and sat down nest to him instead.
They needed to hurry up with the mission.
Percy and Nico skipped their first class. They didnt want to attend Miss Umbridge's class where she'll probably pick us out like roses from a garden.
They both agreed to scout the premises just incase they had to escape if anything goes wrong. Percy hopes otherwise.
Nico was in his usual clothing, An avatar jacket, a black shirt with dancing skeleton, black jeans and combat boots. He was twisting his ring on his right hand middle finger. He was valiant. Percy tried to calm him down saying that the school had magical borders but he just shrugged him off like a bug. This was the most serious Percy has seen him. War does that to people.
It destroys every ounce of hope and happiness they have left and make them empty inside, void of emotion. That was the life of the demigod. Scowling he thought if he saw Grover as he was when he was in the car, he should've pushed him out and told his mum to step on it then head back to new york. He rather die clueless then looking behind his back every two minutes.
"We'll call this escaoe route #1" Percy started off. "If things go bad we can jump off the cliff into the water and ill safely guide us back to New York."
Nico gave him a weird look. "Nope never going to happen. I'll just shadow travel the four of us out."
This time Percy looked at him weirdly. "You have enough energy to do that?"
"Yep ever since Erebus blessed me" He smirked and Percy couldnt help but chuckle. Unlike Nico,Percy never tried teleporting with his inherited water powers. And now sonce Chaos nlessed him and said he could teleport he never thought about trying it.
"How do you teleport?" he asked Nico.
Nico grinned. "Always remember to get drachmas just incase you decide to teleport to the great wall of china, trust me it happened" he started off in a dramatic voice. "And-"
"Hey" a voice yelled. We turned to see a man with black hair and oynx eyes. "What sre you doing here? This is teacher headquaters"
