Chapter 16
Eldoris POV
"I have to Percy!" I almost screamed and several heads turned to me. I was lying in a bed in the medication section of the Camp. It had been about three things since the quest, and Maddie's and Electra's death. The memories still haunted me when it was just me and my own thoughts. Percy sighed at waved his hands in frustration. "You need to take it easy, you're still hurt" he said looking me straight in my eyes. I sat bolt up and I he gasped and tried to push me down "You don't understand Percy! I have to go to Mount Olympus tonight!" My voice was shaking and I was on the edge of tears. I needed to get to Mount Olympus tonight, it was the summer solstice and I at least needed to try to apologies to Apollo and Athena. "Eldoris, you can meet dad whenever you want but not now when you are hurt!" he half screamed and I felt my body get warmer "I'm not going there to see dad! I don't want to meet him, okay?" I feel back and stared up to the ceiling. Even if there was about twenty people in the room I didn't hear anyone, all I heard was my own thoughts, I have to get to Mount Olympus. It took a while before Percy answered, his voice where weak when he said "Why do you hate him? He isn't that bad" It could be a joke but it wasn't, not now. I still stared up at the ceiling and said "Because he wasn't there, he never was, not even now".
After hours of nagging Percy finally let me go to Mount Olympus, but only if he and Annabeth followed me. At first I didn't like the idea so much because of Annabeth following but I changed my mind, I had to get to Mount Olympus. We would fly on some Pegasus, and it sounded awesome. Maybe I didn't like the sky but horses with wings sounded awesome. Percy took his Pegasus Blackjack, I took a brown beautiful Pegasus called Starwing. Annabeth had said she didn't like horses. I said that they weren't horses they were Pegasus, and that owned me some words. We all then flew of, Annabeth riding with Percy on Blackjack.
It took about 30 minutes to get to Empire State Building in New York. I had learned that Mount Olympus moved and was currently located on the 600 floor (Who I didn't know even existed) in the Empire State Building. We walked in the lobby to find the reception guy sleeping with the New York Times paper in his hand a coffee mug on the desk. "Hello!" we said loudly and snapped in front of his face. Some people would have called it rude, but for three demigods it was daily business. The guy slurred something and blinked before directly asking "What?" Annabeth looked him dead in the eye and Percy spoke "We would like to have the key to the 600 floor" the guy laughed for about two minutes and got red in the face "There's no 600 floor little boy" he kept laughing and Percy leaned forward "We are three demigods, two of us kids of one of the most powerful god, I think you don't want to mess with us. The guy looked worried and fumbled for the key before giving it to Percy with a sweaty palm, that guy was a wimp. We walked into the elevator and press the key in. At first it was a bit cozy, with the slow moving of the elevator and the elevator music, but then it started to shake and move really fast and it wasn't cozy anymore. Mount Olympus was beautiful. I couldn't even describe what it looked like, even if knew it had been ruined a year ago it was still amazing. "Wait here for me guys, I have to do this alone" I said to Percy and Annabeth and started moving towards Olympus.
I walked in to the room. The ceiling was high, maybe so all the gods could fit. Just as I thought that I could feel the sense of power in the room and looked up. 12 chairs stood in the center of the room formed like a half circle. In the middle sat Zeus, and I knew that Poseidon sat next to him but I decided not to look at him. "Who are you?" I could feel the sense of power in Zeus voice as he spoke and he glared at me with his sparking eyes. "I'm Eldoris Jacobson" I simply said, glaring at him with so much hatred I could form in my eyes. Then I turned to take a glance at Athena and Apollo, they looked firmly fine in my eyes, but I couldn't back down now, I had to do this. "I came here to apologize" I was now speaking to Athena and Apollo "A few weeks ago I was on a quest" Zeus sighed but I ignored him, I should be blessed he didn't blow me to pieces. "And I let Electra and Maddie die. I regret it. That's why I want to apologize, for taking them with me to the quest and not saving them" I looked down at the floor as the memories I pushed aside floated into my mind. It was silent for a while before Athena finally spoke "I accept your apology child, even if I don't like you, you have shown who you truly are by coming here" Her words touched me a bit I must say, and I choose to ignore the fact that she said she hated me. "Electra was a lovely child, and she died a heroic death" Apollo didn't say anything else, but his look said more than an thousand words, it wasn't a look of hatred, it was a smile. And then I looked around, stopping as the eyes of the sea god meet mine. He looked as the man in the photo, black hair and sea green eyes.
As the staring became too much I decided it was time for me to go "Thank you for accepting my apology" I said and turned to walk away, feeling a little bit hurt that Poseidon didn't even try to stop me. But when I was standing just a few centimeters away from the door he said something that made me turn around to see if it was really him that had spoken "Wait!" he was standing a meter away from me. We was alone, no other god was there. He was still in his god form, 3 meters and all it was hard to look at him. "Wait for what?" I then said looking down. He didn't say anything and neither did me so I started to walk away but a hand on my shoulder stopped me. "I'm sorry, I truly am" he then said, his sea green eyes only telling the truth. "Why?" my voice was shaky but I kept a firm face. "Why did you leave me? Why did you never tell me anything" I was almost yelling but tried to stay calm. "It was too dangerous, having to demigods under the same roof would only cause the sent to be bigger" My confused face kept him talking "So we send you away to live with one of Aphrodite's children, who agreed to risk her life to save you, we didn't know why she did it but she did, then we tricked Zeus to believe you were dead, if I tried to talk to you he would only notice you and kill you" he looked at me and my brain was spinning. "So you are saying that the women who died wasn't my mom?" Poseidon nodded and smiled a bit "Then who is my mom?" I folded my arms to my chest and changed foot "Sally Jackson" And when he said that I couldn't help to smile. Percy was my brother and I was his sister.
