PERCY

Percy woke up, sore, from the previous day's training. 'todays the day' he thought silently, his mom, Nyx, had told him he could only stay there for a weak then she would send him to another "family" member, she had said the the family member's name was "bianca de angelo" but she also had said that she had a brother, or a boy who she thought was her brother, his mother had told him that they had grown up together as siblings, and that neither of them knew they weren't related, or anything about the gods

As Percy thought about this he got ready, putting on a punk rock T-shirt with his favorite band as the logo, the "boys like girls" logo but a black background instead of white and the letters were purple, he put of some black jeans too, with a black hoodie, if you didn't get the memo, he liked the color black.

After he was done getting ready he went out of his room and into the corridors of his mothers mansion, he went left, then right, then left again, and so on until he reached his mother's study, he knocked on the door, and went in.

When he got in the study, he was greeted by his mother who waved to him as he sat down, he smiled and waved back, over the time he had stayed there, he hadn't developed any kind of relationship with his mother, he didn't really mind though, he knew she was busy and things like that.

"Hello Percy, how did you sleep?" she questioned casually. "I slept good thanks, so… when am i leaving?" he questioned eagerly, wanting to get back up to the real world, he didn't even remember what it looked like, which was strange because he had only been down there for about a week and a half, it had been monday when he had arrived there, it was now the thursday of the next week, and his birthday was in about four days.

His mother smiled "whenever you're ready to go Percy, do you remember what i taught you yesterday?" she asked, Percy nodded, shadow travelling, shadow travelling was the best thing his mother had gifted him with, or taught him, since his ability to carve weapons out of shadows, that and the ability to pretty much completely meld with the shadows, in the whole of his time here those were the only moves he had down solidly. "Yes i remember, and i am ready whenever you can take me" he replied, she nodded and got out of her seat, then motioned for him to do the same.

"Percy, you need to remember, Bianca De Angelo doesn't know you two are related, her brother Nico De Angelo is a son of Hades" she said explaining to him the things he already knew, but he just nodded knowing she was just making sure he knew what he had to do. "They are currently attending a boarding school, a military school to be exact, tonight is a festival that they are having, they have both been spotted by a satyr that goes by the name of Grover Underwood" she explained to him, finally getting to the parts he wanted to know about, he nodded for her to go on. "this satyr, Grover, had called for help since there is a monster there, the monster is a manticore, but thats not the point. There are three demigods, like you, that are going to help him," she said, this shocked him, how was he supposed to kill something as strong as a manticore with only weapons, but she continued. " You must not be seen by these demigods Percy, they must not know who you are." Percy nodded, he didn't plan to come out of the shadows until the right time where he could take the "siblings" away, he hadn't told his mother but he had planned on taking Nico with them for at least a little while. "Remember, after you save her you cannot take her back here no matter why, you will be killed by erebus as soon as you return, so just try to survive somewhere." when she finished he just nodded knowing that she was already doing everything in her power to hide him as it is.

"alright i'm ready" he told her she nodded and put her hand on his shoulder, he closed his eyes and prepared for the million mile teleport thing, but instead he heard his mother, that he had figured out was shadow traveling.

It turned out even with preparation for it he still wasn't ready and ended up yelling out once, after a moment he was there in the snow. Percy shivered cursing himself for being such a dumbass for forgetting that it was snowing where he was going, he laughed out loud at himself.

That was he noticed the giant mansion, fort, thing that he guessed was westover hall, it was intimidating, or it would have been to him if he hadn't been living in his mothers mansion for a little while, surrounded by weird creatures that freaked him out. He pulled his iPod out of his jeans, glad he brought it and put in one ear bud, leaving the other one out just in case, and put on his playlist,(A/N:didn't think you would care for the type of music i listen to, which is what he now listens to, so didn't write it in) and then continued on to the front of the place.

He opened the door slowly and went in, within a few seconds of him walking down the hall he heard, music coming from, as soon as he heard it, he winced in discuss, country, Percy hated country, just as he finished hating on whoever put the song on he hear people enter from where he came from and also two people walking down the hallway from the other direction, with no choice he went to the nearest wall and melded into the shadows the way his mother had taught him to do, when he was fully concealed, he continued walking toward the music, hoping that it was an informal dress occasion, to his incredible luck, it was.

When he got to the door he got out of the shadows, he was already getting tired from controlling them for so long, he went in there and scouted it out for a few minutes until he found them talking by some of the bleachers that were in the gym that the party was located at, after he had spotted them he went to one of the tables and just chilled out, trying to focus on his music and not the crap that was currently playing.

Someone tapped his shoulder, almost making him jump, but instead he just turned around and raised an eyebrow when he saw a girl there wearing similar clothes to him, she had black shoulder length jet black hair, and electric blue eyes. "Hi my name is Thalia" the girl in front of him said, "Percy, it's nice to meet you thalia." he said back smiling slightly. She seemed to notice him wearing an earphone and frowned slightly and wrinkled her nose in disgust. "what are you listening to there? whatever it is, it has to be better than this crap." she asked him, his smile grew a little bit " everything from, greenday, to girls like boys" he replied, "do you mind if I listen to the other one?" she asked him, he nodded and pulled his other earphone over to her, he was glad he got them extra long, but they still had to be pretty close. "would you like to dance?" she asked him, his eyebrows shot up in surprise, she wanted to dance?, "yeah" he replied to her question as he Led them slightly further out to the floor, and then got into positions, he was extremely glad that Sally had taught him to dance, it may have been embarrassing to him at the time, but now he knew it was totally worth it.

As he and Thalia danced he noticed he was a good inch taller than her, a few seconds after they started dancing the song ended, but he smiled even more when "the great escape" came on, she smiled to and seemed to like the song, which made him happier, after a few minutes of dancing, another came over and tapped Thalia's shoulder, Thalia turned "I'm sorry, but I have to go" she said, he just nodded and hid his slight disappointment, he didn't even know why he was disappointed.

Percy turned to look check on Bianca, and Nico, but his eyes widened and he cursed silently, they were gone and all that remained was the hat that Bianca had been wearing. He frowned slightly when he saw a boy with black hair, not as black as his or Thalia's, but still black, when the boy went through the security door next to the bleachers he decided to follow him, when he got through the door he noticed some blood on the floor, his eyes widened a little thinking it was one of the De Angelos' he went around the corner quick to find the Manticore with a claw around his sister's neck, the other around Nico's neck, but what surprised him most was thalia, hanging by its tail as it back up to the cliff.

To his surprise the blonde girl that had pulled Thalia away from him was on his back, she lifted up a celestial bronze knife and stabbed down, the manticore roared and dropped Nico, only to reach up and grab the girl. Just as he was about to come out of the shadows, and help them, the manticore sprouted several silver arrows and roared in pain, during his little pain tantrum he had gotten dangerously close to the cliff behind him, Percy decided he had waited long enough and emerged to the shadows, as soon as he came out the shadows he started sprinting toward the monster only for it to slip and fall when he was halfway there.

Percy jumped off the cliff after the Manticore, he heard a gasp come from the black haired boy behind him but he didn't care, as he plummeted toward it, he felt it getting ready to shadow travel, so he angled his body so he was faster, and grabbed on to the closest person to him, which was thalia who was still unconscious, being held by the tail still.

As soon as he grabbed Thalia he pulled the shadows to him as fast as possible and thought of the one place he wanted to go at the moment, which happen to be a nice forest, way south-east of where they were, as soon as they reappeared he almost collapsed' he felt like he was going to pass out and never wake up again any moment, but he forged on and picked up thalia and started to walk toward an opening that was on a cliffside, as soon as he got there he fell to his knees and set Thalia down, thankfully, she was starting to come to consciousness, just as she sat up, he fell, on his head, and he was out.

(I had a hard time not ending it here but, longer chapters=better story, right?)

Percy woke up, extremely sore and with a headache, he looked around and saw a fire in front of him, orange flames dancing wildly around, consuming oxygen, trying to grow. He heard a branch snap behind him and saw thalia, walking and nodding her head up, and down in rhythm, she also had a ipod in her hand and earphones in her ears. Percy tapped his pockets looking for his ipod, when he didn't feel it he smiled slightly.

Thalia noticed him and stopped, she took out the earphones, "Hey" she said, "hey, enjoying yourself?" he asked pointing at he ipod in her hand, she nodded her head and made to give it back to him but he just shook his head, "keep it for a while, it's nice to know someone out there has some good taste in music" he said smiling slightly.

When Thalia sat down by the fire she just looked at it then asked "Do you know where the Manticore took Annabeth, and the other girl?" he nodded, he always knew where his sister was in his head, it was like a tugging sensation in that side of his brain, but not all the time, only when he wanted to know where she was. "Yeah, there west of here, at mount diablo" he told her, she frowned "How do you know?" she asked him, "She is my sister, my mom sent me to save her" he replied, then froze and facepalmed, and laughed, "I wasn't supposed to tell you that" he said, still laughing. "Well, you're not very good at keeping secrets." she stated, he shook his head agreeing with her, but he really wasn't, he never told secrets before, not even by accident. "I'm going to go save them" he said, this caught her attention, "how, do you know how far they are?, they will probably have titans and monsters everywhere there." she asked him, he looked at her "It doesn't matter, I'm going to save them." he stated, she looked at him for a minute, then nodded "I would like to come with you please." she asked him. Percy looked at her, shocked, "You could die Thals" he said, she nodded, "I know, but i need to save Annabeth, she is like my sister I grew up with her," he nodded, understanding that he wouldn't win this argument, if Thali was anything like him, she wouldn't back down. "How long was I out" he asked her, " It's Friday night" she told him, wow he had been asleep for a long time, "three days' he muttered out loud, not expecting her to hear him, but she did, "Three days till what?" she asked him, he sighed, "I didn't really mean you to hear that, but, it's three days till my birthday" he told her. "oh really? how old are you turning?" she asked him, "fifteen" he replied, she laughed a little bit, "whats so funny?" he asked her, curious of the outburst. "I turn fifteen next month" she answered, he smiled and laughed, "I'm older" he stated playfully, she rolled her eyes, "only by like one month." she said, but he stopped when he heard they're stomach rumbling, wow, Percy was hungry, "have you eaten yet Thalia?" he asked her, she shook her head, "No, theres no food here" she answered. " I'm surprised you didn't leave." he stated, "Why didn't you leave?" he asked her, she shrugged "and go where?" she asked, ?"and i wasn't going to leave you here by yourself, passed out, at the mercy of the forest." she stated, he smiled slightly for no reason.

Percy got up and brushed himself off, "stay here." he said, "I'm going to get us some food." with that, he started walking away when Thalia called out to him, "Hey!, be careful" she said, he smiled and continued walking. After he got far enough from the camp, he started to fashion a bow out of shadows, it took him a while but he was able to get a strong, heavy, compound bow. After that he started to fashion arrows, when he finished he put them both in his left hand, the arrows beside the bow length wise.

After Percy had shot down a good sized deer, he started to make his way back to camp, but while holding a deer over his shoulder, that he was just barely strong enough to pick up, 'who knew two hundred pounds would be this difficult' he thought to himself.

Finally he stumbled into the camp, and froze. Thalia was sleeping peacefully, but that wasn't what had stopped Percy, a few feet on the other side of her was a hellhound, the same kind that had killed Sally. Percy dropped the deer, that jolted Thalia awake and she looked at Percy, only to find him rushing toward her, she ducked behind her arms, on instincted, confused at what he was doing, but when he jumped over her and started wrestling with a giant, black, snarling, hellhound that was just about to kill her.

As Percy jumped at the hellhound, he realized how stupid that was of him, but he wanted to save Thalia. They thrashed about trying to get a hold on each other, the hellhound found his thigh, and bit down, causing percy to yell out in pain, involuntarily, but this was actually good for him, he snaked his arms around its neck and started to squeeze with everything he had, just as he thought it wasn't going to be enough, he heard a loud snapping sound, that was the hellhounds neck, it dissolved into golden dust, and he fell back on his butt, spent.

Thalia rushed toward him after he had fallen down, apparently over her shock. "are you okay percy?" she asked him, worry clear in her voice, "Mostly, that damn hellhound managed to bite down on my thigh though" he told her, he scooted over to a tree next to him, every shimmie sent pain to his leg but he made it and leaned up against the tree.

He looked at Thalia and shrugged, deciding that he trusted Thalia enough. He started rapping shadows lightly around the wound to stop the bleeding, Thalia gasped and looked at him in surprise, "Can you keep this a secret? please Thalia" he begged her, to his surprise, she nodded. He smiled at her and nodded, thankful for her understanding, "Who is your godly parent?, Hades i assume" she said to him, he shook his head, " no my mother is my godly parent" he told her, she got a confused look on her face, "What goddess can control shadows?" she asked him, he tensed slightly, "Can you keep a secret Thalia?" he asked her seriously, "Yeah, ill keep your secret, I swear on the styx" she said, he looked at her surprised, "Why would you do that?" he asked her, "What if you wanted to tell someone?" he asked her again, she just shrugged, "I want you to know you can trust me" she said looking away slightly , he couldn't see her face in the darkness but he knew she was blushing, he smiled "I do trust you" he told her, before she could reply he continued, "Please don't freak out" he pleaded, "but my mother is" he was having a hard time forcing it out, he didn't want her to hate him, but he forced it out, "Nyx" he said in a really quiet voice. Thalia gasped and backed away, Percy looked away saddened.

"The primordial god?" she asked quietly, percy sighed "Thalia I'm not your enemy, I would never hurt you" he told her, She looked at him skeptically before replying "I know, I was just surprised," she told him, he sighed in relief, feeling the weight of the world lift off his shoulders.

Percy looked over to the dead deer on the ground, "I don't suppose you know how to skin a deer?" he asked her hopefully, she laughed and walked over to it, "Actually, that was one of the things they taught us at camp" she told him, he laughed a little bit then, "Do you know how to cook it over the fire too?" he asked her hoping that they had, "Yeah they did, what use would it be skinning it if i couldn't eat it?" she questioned playfully, he shrugged, not telling her that he could skin it too, but he didn't really know how to cook it, if she hadn't known how he would have just winged it, no doubt it would have turned out horrible.

After Thalia had skinned the dear and started cooking it over the fire on a spit, Percy made his way carefully, trying to not put too much weight on his injured leg. He thought he was going to make it but he was mistaken when his leg gave out and he fell. "You okay Perce?" she asked, stifling and chuckle, he groaned "Yeah I'm fine, i was just getting bored over there." he said, she just nodded and watched the meat cook carefully. fourtie five minutes later they had eaten and were full. Percy patted his stomach, "damn Thalia that was good." he told her, Thalia smiled "Are you sure it wasn't because we were starving, and we haven't eaten for a while?" she asked, "psh, no way, that was a good meal, Thank you" he said, she blushed slightly, but her smile grew a bit, clearly pleased that she could cook a wild deer.

After a few minutes of small talk, finding out that they had many things in common, Percy noticed her eyes start to droop, he smiled "Get some sleep thals" he told her, sitting out on his hands, with his legs out toward the fire getting ready to take the whole night watch instead of waking her up. Thalia stretched out and yawned, "Alright, wake me up when it's my turn to take watch." she told him, he just smiled slightly and nodded. Before she laid down he took his sweater off and handed it to her, "here, use this as a pillow." he told her looking away, hoping she wouldn't see his slight blush, "Thank you." she told him taking it from his hand. When she laid down, Percy heard her inhale deeply, he just shrugged it off, figuring she was going to sleep.

Sorry if it isn't very good, I like to write all of the chapter at once, and then post it. so i always have to spend like 15 minutes after editing it on ff.

Thank you for your reviews and all that good stuff.
