"P-p-Percy. Leave please" Sally, mum. I didn't know what to call her. Percy looked like he was going to protest but nodded and left the room. Sally, mum, looked at me.
"Effie this is about y-your father." I nodded as Sally, mum, gave me the letter.
Sally or whom ever adopted my darling daughter Persephone.
I regret never seeing her grow up, if you adopted her I regret giving her away. You see, you dear mortal, being a god is hard work. I couldn't look after my darling daughter. She would have interfered. But I always saw her grow. Now at the age fourteen, I know she's ready. Most children of gods, more commonly known as demigods, find out when they are twelve but at that age, Persephone or perhaps you call her, Seph, Effie,Peri,Penny or something different. (I personally prefer Peri) I'm getting off track but Persephone was not ready to find out at twelve. She didn't have a saytr at the time to lead her to Camp Half Blood. Make her saytr or even Chrion (commonly known to the child as Mr Bruner) take her, before it's to late.
I read the letter, without much difficultly. I don't know why though.
"There's another just for you, Persephone." She mumbled and looked down, swallowing. I nodded and took the other letter
Persephone Helen Jackson
Hello, dear daughter of mine. It's your father. You probably read the first letter, for you mother or adoptive parents. Well yes, you're a Demigod. The daughter of a god. I can tell you one thing about whom I am, I'm not the god of the seas, Poseidon. He is your half brothers father. I wish to claim you at Camp Half blood,Peri. If you wish me not to call you that. Then tell me so when we do one day meet. I'm dearly sorry we've never met in person.
Your father
I looked at Sally-mum.
"S-so I-I'm a demigod?" This must be a joke, I thought. She nodded.
"Who's my dad?" I asked.
"I can't tell you, Persephone." She mumbled. I frowned. If my father was a god didn't I have the right to know his name at least? I grabbed my two bags and walked to the door. I was going to find my father, I shoved the letters into my hoody pockets. My birth mother and Percy looked at me, confused yet pained. Yes, I was leaving. I couldn't be around people.., people well like her! I walked downstairs not before hearing a comment that sounded like.
"Good, get one less mouth to feed. Now just get rid of that kid of yours" I rolled my eyes. I stormed down stairs and by the time I was down, the tears started flowing. What was I thinking? I was fourteen. In a foreign country, with no money. Just to meet my birth parents? What a waist. I jumped as I saw the familiar curly hair of Grover.
"What's up Ef?" He hugged me tight.
"I have no where to go! I met my mother and brother. Found out my dads a god. And-and-" I trailed off, crying into his chest. Grover rubbed my back, he was so comforting.
"We're going mine, don't worry. I've got money" he smiled them put us in a yellow cab. That didn't worry me until I saw the driver the dude had ONE FREAKING EYE! I yelped and cowered near Grover but he seemed shocked as well. Grover bleated loudly. I swore under my breath. I grabbed Grover's arm, I didn't care that he was a cripple. I dragged him out of the cab but the FREAKING ONE EYED dude followed us.
"Wait demigod and saytr. Saytr make good eat, demigod can be wife." It grinned wickedly. I squeaked and pulled Grover to a random coffee shop. Grover bleated again and shakily handed me a dagger. I glared at him but didn't say a thing. I gave him my bags, regretting wearing a skirt to school, and walked out, I saw the freaking- CYCLOPS! I gasped softly and it looked at me, without much thinking I ran to it and stabbed its leg. It screamed in pain then picked me up, why wasn't anyone helping me?! I squeaked loudly.
"Hold on!" I heard a boy yell.
"What the hell do you think I'm doing!?" I snarled and shot him a glare, he chuckled.
"Sorry." He chuckled and started fighting the bloody cyclops. It soon dropped me when it hurt it's foot.
"DAMN!" I yelled, as it dropped me, I landed on my bum. The boy chuckled, he had white/blonde hair and blue eyes. He was probably 17 maybe 18. He helped me up.
"You alright? Come on, I'll get you to camp." He smiled.
"I'm fine, where's Grover?" I frowned, Grover bleated behind him and handed me my bags. I rolled my eyes and hugged him.
"I'm sorry, Ef." He mumbled and looked down.
"Let's just go." I mumbled, annoyed at him slightly, and looked at the older guy. The older dude smiled.
"Luke, son of Hermes." He extended his hand.
"Persephone." I shook his hand
"After hades wife?" I nodded.
"Persephone Helen Jackson." I still to this day, don't know how I wasn't freaking out or thinking this was a dream and I just hit my head.
"Is your dad Zeus?" He joked, but for all we all knew he was right. Is Zeus my dad? I thought as we began walking.
Declaimer: I only own Persephone.
This is the second of Ellie's birthday chapters. also the nicknames used in the letter, one will be Persephones name. Oh! And I know her dad Already ;)
