AN: Hey EVERYONE exist21 is here with a new chapter. Before you read the chapter let me clear some few things.

-There will be Olympians bashing so suspect majority of the Olympians being bashed since Arashi does hates the gods and goddesses only respect a few of them.

-Fate/stay night and video games elements.

-Arashi will have chakra but don't know when since I haven't decided where he will activate it.

-Arashi will be more powerful than Percy since he has more experience from fighting and majority have controls of his power.

-Lastly Arashi doesn't take any shit from anyone if he hates them.

Since we have things cleared now. ONWARDS TO THE STORY!


Chapter 2

After that crazy incident everything was normal in school, but for Percy it was not. For the rest of the year he was a bit put off by the revelation that Miss Dodds never existed. In her place was a perky blond woman's name Mrs. Kerr. Every so often Percy would spring a Miss Dodds reference on someone, just to see if he could trip them up, but they would stare at him like he was psycho. He had almost believed them, But Grover couldn't fool him. When he mentioned the name Dodds to him, he would always hesitate before denying it. But Percy and I knew he was lying.

I hadn't cared about all these things. Because this wasn't the first time something weird had happened to me since with my lineage and being attack at the age of 6. But I knows something bad will happen and this will be cause by Zeus stupid tantrum. Because a few days later, the biggest tornado ever spotted in the Hudson Valley touched down only fifty miles from Yancy Academy. One of the current events was the unusual number of small planes that had gone down in sudden squalls in the Atlantic this year. Personally the way I view him has lowered than ever. Zeus become more of a sorry excuse of a god.

But enough of that, Percy behavior starting to get worse and his studies have becoming more problematic to him. Percy started feeling cranky and irritable most of the time. His grades slipped from D to F. He got into more fights with Nancy Bobofit and her friends and I usually end the fights before it got worse. He sent out into the hallway in almost every class. Though Percy got in trouble, when his English teacher, Mr. Nicoll, asked him for the millionth time why he was too lazy to study for spelling tests, he snapped. He called him an old sot, which I don't know since I never heard it before, the headmaster sent a letter his mom telling her that Percy would not be allowed back next year.

I could tell that Percy really miss his mom. He was home sick and I couldn't really blame him since I already met his mom and she was the really nice person. She could easily mistake as Hestia in disguise because of her sweet attitude. I really envy Percy to have such have caring mom. Unlike mine who abandons me like I was a piece of trash.

Right now, we are our dorm room that Percy and I shared and right now he is feeling a lot of pressure for the exam which I don't blame him. With his Dyslexic and ADHD any kids would have bound to have kind of problems in studying even me. Hey I might be a prodigy but doesn't mean that I don't have Dyslexic and ADHD. Stupid Demigod effects. I blame the gods and goddesses for this…well the gods and goddesses who abandoned their kids any way.

Throughout the night, I could see that Percy was getting more and more agitated.

"This is impossible," Percy said as he threw his book across the room luckily I easily catch it before it could hit the wall. I like books. Deal with it.

"I can't understand it." Percy said. I patted Percy on the shoulder and smiled at him before I place the book down.

"Keep trying Percy. You'll get it, evenly." I said to him.

"Thanks for the support, Arashi," Percy said and picked up the book.

"What is problematic, Percy?"

"What is the difference between Chiron and Charon?" Percy asked.

"Simple, one has an I and the other has an A in their name." I answered him.

"You know what I mean."

"Why don't you ask Mr. Brunner for help? I'm sure he will help you," I suggested.

"Yeah okay, thanks," Percy said getting up from the desk and I was following him.


We walked downstairs to the faculty offices. Most of them were dark and empty, but Mr. Brunner's door was afar, light from his window stretching across the hallway floor.

We were three steps from the door handle when we heard voices inside the office. Mr. Brunner asked a question. And I heard Grover's voice as he said "...Worried about Percy and Arashi, sir."

We leaned slightly to hear their conversation. We were curious in what they were talking about.

"... Alone this summer," Grover was saying. "I mean, a Kindly One in the school! Now that we know, and they know too—"

"We would only make matters worse by rushing him," Mr. Brunner said. Are they talking about the Furies? "We need Percy to mature more and Arashi…there is something different about him." So Mr. Brunner is suspicious to me. Maybe he saw me taking out the Fury that attack Percy but I didn't notice presence.

"We have to be resolved without them, Grover. Let Percy enjoy his ignorance while he still can, but— I am not sure about Arashi."

"But Percy..."

"His imagination," Mr. Brunner insisted. "The Mist over the students and staff will be enough to convince him of that."

So I was right about him using the mist. It's either he's a demigod or something more.

"Sir, I ... I can't fail in my duties again." Grover's voice choked with emotion. "You know what that would mean."

"You haven't failed, Grover," Mr. Brunner said kindly. "I should have seen her for what she was. Now let's just worry about keeping them alive until next fall—"

Suddenly, the mythology book dropped out of Percy's hand and hit the floor with a thud. His eyes widened in panic as all went silent.

'Shit' I cursed in my mind before I quickly grabbed Percy's arms and book. We quickly run away from the room. I quickly saw a nearby room and we hide there.

A few seconds later we heard a slow clop-clop-clop, like muffled wood blocks, then a sound like an animal snuffling right outside the door. A large, dark shape paused in front of the glass, and then moved on.

Both of us were sweating, that was too close. That was damn too close I could feel my heart beating very fast. But I manage to calm down and we could still hear the conversation that and Grover are having.

Mr. Brunner spoke. "Nothing," he murmured. "My nerves haven't been right since the winter solstice."

"Mine neither," Grover said. "But I could have sworn ..."

"Go back to the dorm," Mr. Brunner told him. "You've got a long day of exams tomorrow."

"Don't remind me." They heard Grover whine.

When the lights went off in Mr. Brunner's office went off, we immediately bolted out of the room that we were hiding. When they made it back to our dorm, Percy locked the door and said. "Ok, now we know for sure something is going on!"

"Yeah, but what and who would want us dead. I mean, they talked as if someone was after us." I said. But already knew what is going on thanks to Lady Hestia but why would the fury wants with Percy?

"No kidding, you think it was that monster that attacked me?" Percy asked and I just shook my head.

"I don't know we'll talk to Grover about this winter solstice thing." I said and Percy nodded in agreement then I sighs, "I just hope we survive the exams." Hey I may be a genius and prodigy shit but doesn't mean that I don't encounter problems like most Demigod kids have. But I'm sure I can survive the test…I hope.

Percy paled and then hung his head, once again reminded of the exams and why they went down there in the first place. "I am so screwed."

Just then Grover walked in like nothing had happened. "Hey, how are you guys doing on the studying?" We just hanged our head and didn't bother to answer. I notice that he got worried. "You guys ok?"

"Yep, we are so screwed." I said. DAMN YOU FATES!


The next afternoon, we finally got out of there. THREE HOURS OF LATIN EXAM!

"Three hours of that massacre!" I complained, FUCK YOU FATES! I CURSE THEM WITH THE NAME OF ZEUS! I hope that karma comes back with vengeance at those old hags!

"Ugh, my eyes are swimming with all the Greek and Roman names that I misspelled." Percy complained as he held his head. Unfortunately, Mr. Brunner called us back in.

"Percy," he called. "Don't be discouraged about leaving Yancy. It's ... it's for the best." He then turned to me and asked. "What about you Arashi?"

I shrugged at him and said. "I can just easily tell my guardian to transfer me to some school. I really don't like dealing with Nancy and her company. They are really annoying as hell." I told Mr. Brunner.

"I see." Mr Brunner commented. "I guess this place is not the right place for you boys then. It only a matter of time."

I glance at Percy sadly to see that Percy was upset. I mean, his favorite teacher at this dump of a school and in front of a whole freaking class, was telling him that he couldn't handle it here. I'm kinda pissed off. After all, who the hell he was to judge Percy?

"No, no," Mr. Brunner said. "Oh, confound it all. What I'm trying to say ... you're not normal, Percy and neither are you Arashi. That's nothing to be—"

"Thanks," Percy blurted. I saw the he was pissed off. "Thanks a lot, sir, for reminding me."

"Percy—" He called out but Percy was already out the door.

I looked from the door for a few seconds before I turn back to Mr. Brunner. I let out a sigh and said "You really need to learn how to pep talk, Mr. Brunner. You'll really need it." With that I left the room and followed Percy.


On the last day of the term, I watched as Percy shoved his clothes into his suitcase. We listened to the other guys brag about where they were going this summer. Those idiots may be juvenile delinquents, but they were also rich juvenile delinquents. One of them asked Percy and I where they were going.

"My home in the city for the summer." Percy replied.

"Same here." I said. I scared Percy since he didn't notice my presence yet until now.

"When did you get here?" Percy asked while the others went back to what they were doing, as if the two didn't exist since they were nobodies to them.

"Heh, a few minutes ago man." I chuckled.

"Oh." Percy replied.

"So remind me again why I am going with you to your place for the day?" I asked. The last time I visited his house was Christmas.

"Well, you can tell I have been a bit peeved lately and you usually help out when I am in a bad mood. So, I guess I need to you to keep me in check because Gabe is going to really piss me off." Percy said.

"I see." I said before I let out a chuckle. "Does Gabe still remember the beating I gave him?" I asked and I saw a small smile on Percy face.

"I hope so. That was a great Christmas." Percy said before we headed to the bus station and ride on the bus.

We were dreading how they were going to say good bye to Grover but luckily for them, he was on the bus they were on. The whole bus ride, we saw that Grover was very fidgety, like he was expecting something to come out the works to come after him or us. He was like this every time we left the school campus…weird?

"Looking for Kindly Ones?" Percy suddenly blurted out. I face palm for Percy suddenly blurting like that while Grover nearly jumped out of his seat. "Wha—what do you mean?"

We confessed about eavesdropping on his and Mr. Brunner's conversation the night before the exams.

Grover's eye twitched. "How much did you hear?"

"Oh ... not much. What's the summer solstice dead-line?" Percy asked

"Was that too much Info?" I asked with a smirk on my face.

Grover winced before he started to talk. "Look, guys ... I was just worried for you two, see? I mean, hallucinating about demon math teachers ..."

"Grover." Percy said. Okay you're like saying that Percy has mental Issues.

"And I was telling Mr. Brunner that maybe you guys were overstressed or something, because there was no such person as Mrs. Dodds, and ..."

"Dude you suck at lying." I blurted out making Grover sputter and his ear turn pink. Seriously Grover has to get some lying lessons.

Grover put his hands on his shirt pockets, he fished out a couple of grubby business cards.

"Just take this, okay? In case you need me this summer." The card was in fancy script, which was murder on their dyslexic eyes, but they finally made out something like:


Grover Underwood

Keeper

Half-Blood Hill

Long Island, New York

(800) 009-0009


I narrowed my eyes as I read the card. So this is where the camp is. From what my father told me. This place is filled with demigods.

"What's Half—" Percy started.

"Don't say it aloud!" Grover yelped. "That's my, um ... summer address." I rolled my eyes. Like I would believe that.

"Okay," Percy said glumly. "So, like, if I want to come visit your mansion."

Grover nodded. "Or ... or if you need me."

"Why would I need you?" Percy growled out harshly, surprising even me. Okay that was much unsuspected thing for Percy to say.

Grover blushed right down to his Adam's apple. "Look, Percy, the truth is, I—I kind of have to protect you, both of you." He said making the boys look at him oddly. I already knew that he was satyr, he was a protector t but I decided to act I didn't know.

"Grover," Percy said, "What exactly are you protecting us from?"

Before he could answer, there was a huge grinding noise under our feet. Black smoke poured from the dashboard and the whole bus filled with a smell like rotten eggs. The driver cursed and limp the Greyhound bus over to the side of the highway.

After a few minutes clanking around in the engine compartment, the driver announced that everyone go outside.


We were on a stretch of country road. On the highway was nothing but maple trees and litter from passing cars.

"Hey what was that?" Percy said getting my attention. Percy pointed over to the side of the road and I saw what looked like an old fruit stand.

The stuff on sale looked really good: heaping boxes of blood-red cherries and apples, walnuts and apricots, jugs of cider in a claw-foot tub full of ice. There were no customers, just three old women sitting in rocking chairs in the shade of a maple tree, knitting the biggest pair of socks. The woman on the right knitted one of them. The woman on the left knitted the other. The woman in the middle held an enormous basket of electric-blue yarn. All three women looked ancient, with pale faces wrinkled like fruit leather, silver hair tied back in white bandana, bony arms sticking out of bleached cotton dresses. The weirdest thing was they seemed to be looking right at Percy.

'Why they are looking at Percy?' I thought as I narrowed my eyes at the three old ladies. I turn to Grover and saw Grover's nose was twitching.

"Grover?" Percy said. "Hey, man—"

Grover asked Percy, "Tell me they're not looking at you. They are, aren't they?"

"Yeah, Weird, huh? You think those socks would fit me?" Percy asked. But his failed attempted to crack a joke made only Grover started twitching more. I look back at the three ladies and something click in my mind. I finally recognized them.

'The fates' I thought with wide eyes. Shit the fates are here!? What the hell?

"Not funny, Percy Not funny at all." Grover said nervously. While the two were talking I immediately summoned my revolver in my hands and place a powerful mist to it. Making sure that it would be invisible even to Percy and Grover eyes.

The old woman in the middle took out a huge pair of scissors—gold and silver, long-bladed, like shears.

Grover catches his breath. "We're getting on the bus," he told us. "Come on."

"What?" Percy said. "It's a thousand degrees in there."

"Percy just listen to Grover." I said.

Percy surprised at that. "W-what?" He asked.

"Only this time do it, just like he said, because after that he will have to give us some explanation." Then I narrowed my eyes as I looked at Grover. "Am I right?" Grover saw his cold eyes, he paled and nodded immediately.

Grover opened the door and climbed inside, but Percy and I stayed back for a bit. Across the road, the old women were still watching Percy. The middle one was about to cut the yarn we I immediately draw my gun and pointed at them.

BANG!

BANG!

BANG!

Gun shots were heard and fired. Everyone outside the bus started to panicked and the next thing I saw that the three old ladies were fell backwards because of the surprise attack that I did to them.

"Come on Go Percy!" I shouted at him. Percy looks at me confuse but I just pushed him towards the bus. I look back at the bus and saw the three ladies were getting up. I turned paled and immediately get it. I quickly used my magic to fix the bus engine

At the rear of the bus, the driver wrenched a big chunk of smoking metal out of the engine compartment.

The bus shuddered, and the engine roared back to life. The passengers cheered.

"Darn right!" Yelled the driver. He slapped the bus with his hat. "Everybody back on board!"

Soon everyone climb back and soon the bus started running. I turn back to the three hags and saw the middle one snip the yarn.


Soon we were on the road again. I started to feel that I just made a big mistake then again. I don't think things before I act so I can't really be blame.

Oh yeah I just remembered what I did. I FUCKING SHOOT THE FATES! Well at least I was able to get a small form of payback. Ha! Take that you old hags!

I look at Percy and saw that he looks like he has a flu. I look at Grover and he didn't look much better. He was shivering and his teeth were chattering.

Percy asked "Grover?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell us?"

Grover dabbed his forehead with his shirt sleeve. "Percy and Arashi, what did you see back on the fruit stand?"

"You mean the old women? What is it about them, man? They're not like ... Mrs. Dodds, are they?" Percy asked.

Grover's expression was hard to read, but I knew that he was thinking about the fates.

"Just tell me what you saw?" Grover said

I decided to answer him." All I saw that the middle one was about to cut the middle of yarn when suddenly they fall backwards." I said and I saw Grover sigh in relief…and decided to ruin it. "But when the bus left I look back and saw the woman in the middle snip the yarn." I finished then I saw Grover turned paled Soon he closed his eyes and made a gesture with his fingers and said, "You saw her snip the cord."

"Yeah. So?" I said, acting like a clueless idiot. I knew about the fates when they cut the string that means that you'll die but I have the feeling that wasn't mine, Percy or Grover life thread string.

"This is not happening," Grover mumbled. He started chewing at his thumb. "I didn't want this to be like the last time."

"What last time?" I asked. What the hell happen to Grover?

"Always sixth grade. They never get past sixth."

"Grover," Percy said, I notice that Percy was really starting to get scared. "What are you talking about?" Grover suddenly looks at us with a serious look

"Let me walk with both of you. Promise me," Grover said.

"Is this like a superstition or something?" Percy asked. No answered. "Grover, that snipping of the yarn. Does that mean somebody is going to die?" He asked. Grover suddenly looked like he was already picking the kind of flowers to our Grave. I have a feeling that our lives will become one hell of a ride.
