Chapter 8
Atlantic Ocean
The city of Atlantis was beautiful with its glistening multi-colored buildings and colorful array of marine life. Above all other buildings stood the palace of Poseidon, a white and light sea green mix colored building that stood over the rest of the city like a father watching over his children. Surrounding the city was a force field like bubble that separated the vast seas and the Atlantean air supply. Although the people of Atlantis did not need air many of Atlantis's visitors needed oxygen forcing the city to create the barrier locking out the crushing pressure and preventing visitors from drowning. The air did nothing to prevent animals of the ocean from swimming through the great city because as they crossed over the boundary they swam through the air just as well as they would swim through water. It was an odd but comforting sight.
Annabeth had brought all three of her immortal animals that could survive in any habitat, even under water. Her phoenix glided through the blue ocean riding currents alongside the calf killer whale while her black tiger preferred to stay at her side. The black tiger was the mature one of the three animals. Annabeth however paid no attention to her animals as she soaked in the sight that was Atlantis.
The currents pushed her along as she followed behind Poseidon, who took the liberty of showing her around Atlantis. As they reached the city limits horn blew announcing their arrival and the Poseidon's Trident glowed an ethereal sea green light. Suddenly three hippocampi shot out of the city towards the two immortals. As the beasts approached Annabeth was met with the sight of a Cyclops who she hadn't seen for a while, Tyson.
"Annabeth before Tyson gets here I would like to say things have changed over the years. I have kept a few secrets from the Olympian council that you will come to notice in your stay here in Atlantis, one being that Tyson had grown rather a lot from the last time you've seen him and has become a lot more mature and another being Amphitrite and Triton had been removed from power." Spoke Poseidon.
The shock hit me like a bolt of electricity: Amphitrite and Triton had been removed from power.
"But why would Amphitrite and Triton be removed from power? Are they still in Atlantis? How could they agree to it?" Annabeth asked with a confused look.
"I removed them from power because they wished it so. Amphitrite and I had a long discussion about our marriage and how we were only married due to her fathers request so that he could control part of the seas but since Oceanus was defeated after the Second Titan War, she decided that she wouldn't hold me back from being with someone I love. Triton, after his mother was removed, wished to live with his mother and since Perseus was made immortal Triton relinquished his rights as future ruler of the seas to him."
"So who is the new queen of Atlantis?" Asked Annabeth.
"Currently, no one," answered Poseidon.
They turned back towards the city just as the three hippocampi were in yelling distance.
"Tyson!" Screamed Annabeth. She gazed at the now bigger Cyclops that used to be the same height as her. Now, riding the back of the hippocampi known as Rainbow was an 8-foot tall giant.
"Annabeth!" Came the deep voiced reply. "It has been so long since I last seen you. I heard you're a goddess now but my brother is not here?"
"He had to complete a quest on the East Coast but he promised to visit Atlantis as soon as he finished it." Annabeth responded.
"I probably won't be here by then," he said with a thoughtful look.
"What? Why?" Annabeth asked with a confused expression. At that Tyson's thoughtful frown turned into a happy grin.
"I'm going to Hawai'i. You were one of the camp's creators but no one stayed to see if the Hawaiian demigods needed any weapons or such. A few of my Cyclops brothers and I are going in a few days after our supplies are gathered."
"Ah yes, Camp Iunctus. Too bad you didn't come for the Christmas Ceremony, it was very nice and peaceful and a lot of surprises like the dagger Percy gave me." Spoke Annabeth.
The two continued to talk as they subconsciously followed Poseidon to the palace. They talked about Percy, life after the Titan War, the Giant War, and now their immortal lives. Annabeth told Tyson about her and Percy's adventures and her newly given abilities and immortality. She told him about Percy's mission and the dangers he was up against.
They soon found themselves in the throne room of Atlantis with Poseidon sitting on his throne and members of Atlantis standing before their king. Annabeth watched as people gave her bows that recognized her as a minor goddess of the Sea and she waved back acknowledging them as well. She was confused as to what they were doing in the throne room but Poseidon stood and addressed the crowd.
"For those of you who were not already aware of it, Annabeth, my son's partner, will be staying in Atlantis for a while. You will treat her with kindness and respect as you would by son for they are not merely regular partners but partners in life." He addressed the crowd.
The gather members cheered and after the king finished addressing them, they left to carry on with their daily life, jobs, and other necessities.
"Poseidon, can I have a word with you in private?" Asked Annabeth seeing as people and marine life were surrounding Poseidon.
"Everyone clear the room please." Spoke Poseidon.
Everyone slowly made their way out of the room. Annabeth made sure scanning the room for any marine life, guards, or subjects since the topic was one that no one should know. She created a soundproof barrier around the room just in case.
"Now, what did you want to say?" Asked Poseidon.
"Well, this is very hard to say but…"
"Continue." Rushed Poseidon.
"IampregnantwithPercy'schild." Spoke Annabeth in a single rushed breath.
"Could you repeat that slowly?"
Annabeth took a deep breath before repeating it, slower this time. Poseidon's faced contorted into shock then into happiness.
"I am going to be a grandfather!" He screamed. Annabeth let out a breath of relief.
Poseidon stood from his throne and grabbed Annabeth into his arms swinging her around in circles. He put her down but his face turned into a thoughtful gaze.
"What?" She asked.
"Did you tell Perseus or your mother about this?" He asked.
"Umm. No." She spoke softly. He sighed before rubbing a hand over his face. Athena would kill him for this.
He formed a dolphin messenger of water and spoke a message into the water that engraved itself into the side of the dolphin. The dolphin quickly swam out of the throne room on a straight track to Olympus and the palace of Athena. He did a prayer and the water in the throne room changed. Poseidon felt the presence that was Athena trying to enter the sea. He quickly aloud her passage and a bright light shone in the center of the throne room.
"Why did you call me here Poseidon?" Spoke Athena.
"Your daughter has something to tell you." Spoke Poseidon with a straight face.
Annabeth who had been watching from the side of the room slowly approached, "Mom, I want you to have an open mind about this."
"Sure, now what is it?" She asked with a calculating gaze.
"Mom… I'm pregnant." She spoke softly.
Athena's faced turned to one of confusion, "What? I think I misheard you. Did you say you're pregnant?"
Annabeth nodded.
"What!" Screamed Athena.
"But. But. You can't be." She stuttered. "Artemis would have told me if you were no longer a maiden."
"I am still a maiden mom!" Yelled Annabeth before continuing, "I just gained the ability of a unique pregnancy along with accelerated growth of a child and gift of not going through the pains of child birth. Within the next two week my baby bump will show more then it already is and then I will need to be concealed until I give birth."
"Oh goodness gracious," uttered a relieved Athena before her face brightened, "I'm having an immortal grandchild!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes and rubbed her stomach.
"The only people who know are you two and Artemis, Hera and Hestia." Spoke Annabeth.
"Good, the less people who know will less likely put the child in danger." Spoke Poseidon.
"And people say you're not smart. Well, it was mostly I." Spoke Athena.
"For now, no one can know that he is mine and Perseus's child and when he is of the right looking age then we can send him to camp." Spoke Annabeth.
"Agreed." Spoke Athena and Poseidon.
- Beacon Hills - Percy POV -
I woke to the sharp piercing cry of my alarm clock. I had been forced into working on the Hale family home since we got back since Talia had wanted to live there. My blessings from Athena and Hephaestus really helped me with the reconstruction while the powers of Demeter made more trees and therefore more wood. My powers from Hestia reformed some parts of the house since Hestia's Roman equivalent, Vesta, is a goddess of the home as well as hearth and family. After the house was completed I was exhausted and could only barely make it into one of the rooms before falling asleep.
It was my first day of school at Beacon Hills and I would be meeting the rest of Derek's Pack. I would have to introduce myself because Derek wouldn't be there to introduce me and it's not like I needed him to be their either. I'm still deciding if I should tell them I know Derek or not but eventually they'll find out.
I finally grew tired of the sharp cry of the alarm clock and stood up to walk over to the desk and turn the wretched device off. Pressing the off button relieved my sensitive ears of the aching pain of the loud device. My nose made out the scent of bacon and pancakes while my ears picked up the faint sounds of a sizzling frying pan. My stomach growled and I quickly exited my room heading towards the bathroom that was a few doors down. I passed by a closed door that should be Derek's room before reaching the bathroom. I rushed to washing up and ran back into my room to change clothes.
After getting myself into a presentable look for my first day back at high school, I made my way into the kitchen where I came across not Talia but Derek at the stove. Talia sat at the kitchen table studying her new smartphone that was a gift from the gods, specifically Hermes. She looked up as I walked through the door and smiled. I returned the smile before looking at her son.
"You cook?" I asked.
"Well what does it look like I'm doing," he said with a growl.
"Geez. I fix the house and this is what I get." I said. I heard a laugh come from Talia as she watched us interact.
"Just get ready. I'm dropping you off at school since mom has catching up to do with other people." My attention returned to Derek. He was placing a few pancakes on a plate that already had pieces of bacon. After placing the pancakes, on the plate he slid the plate over and grabbing a cup of coffee continued down the hall out of sight.
"He's not a morning person." I said while I turned towards my food.
"He hasn't been a people's person since his eyes changed color." Responded Talia.
"His eyes changed?" I asked confused.
"For a normal werewolf the eyes change base on the status of a werewolf. Yellow means that they are regular, blue means that they killed an innocent person and red means that they are an alpha. Before Derek became the Hale Alpha he had blue eyes." She responded.
"He killed an innocent. Who was it?" I choked out the words.
"We don't like to talk about it but it was a girl, a young girl, around his age that he loved. He was young, outgoing and always had a smile on his face. He used to be a player and then he met her. She changed him, whether it was for the worse or better I'll never know. One day, after endlessly chasing on his part, she decided to give him a chance and so they started to date. He did something, something bad, that came with the cost of her life and so his eyes changed into the cold icy blue he had for years." She said sadly.
"Oh." I said quietly. I stared down as I silently ate my food thinking about how the cold Derek I now knew could have once been a shy young man who constantly got himself in trouble. It was hard to think that the man had anything on his face besides the frown that seemed to be permanently placed there.
Derek appeared in the kitchen again totally oblivious to the conversation that just went on. He put his coffee cup in the sink before grabbing his keys off the counter and turning to me.
"Are you almost done?" He asked with a rushed tone.
"Yeah, almost." I answered.
"What no witty response?" He asked.
"Not this time."
I quickly finished my food before placing my dishes in the sink. I ran back to my room and grabbed my dark blue backpack, provided by Athena, which was already filled with the books I needed for school. With a quick good bye to Talia Derek and I were out the door and in his car rolling down the road. Derek was silent as he drove down the road.
"What?" He asked suddenly.
"What?" I asked.
"You were staring at me." He stated.
"Sorry, I didn't notice." I turned to stare out the window.
Houses and houses passed by before Derek turned into the parking lot of a school. Instead of stopping in the front of the school he pulled into a parking spot in the front of the school and opened his door.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Going in with you, so hurry up." He responded before shutting his door.
I quickly got out the car before following the already walking figure.
"Why?" I called to him.
"Because my mom said to, so hurry up so I can check you in and leave." He said without turning around.
I let him walk a few feet in front as I slowly trailed behind studying everyone in the hall. Everyone turned to stare at Derek as we slowly made our way down the hall. My good hearing tuned in to some of the conversations that were mostly questions like who I was or why I was with Derek.
As we passed by a group of people my instincts started to flare and I passed my gaze over them as they stared at me. There were three guys and two girls. My vision changed so that I was looking at the spirits of the people. Two had the wolf shape like other werewolves, one had the symbol of Hades in the middle of her forehead, one had two symbols of Artemis on each hand, and the last had the symbol of Bellona over his chest. This would be the group that I would be helping.
Derek turned into one of the doors in the hallway and I quickly made my way in after him as he went to talk to one of the ladies behind the desk. As I waited the girl with Artemis's symbol walked into the office. She sat down next to me waiting.
"Hi. You must be new here, I'm Allison Argent." Spoke the girl from the hallway.
"Yeah, I'm Percy, Percy Jackson." I said.
"So, how do you know Derek?" She asked seemingly curious.
"Just a family friend. I came with his mom and will be staying with them." I said.
Her face turned into a thoughtful one but she remained quite.I decided to look into her mind.
Damn, I thought Derek's mother died in the fire a few years back. I wonder if he's a werewolf? I'll have to test it with a piece of silver later. Is he with the Alpha pack? Nah, he's with Derek, but Derek could be switching to their side. Why is he staring at me?
I quickly turned away as Derek walked over and handed me my schedule. Allison seemed to tense up before she quickly made her way past him and to the lady Derek was previously talking to.
"So, Allison Argent huh?" He teased.
"Shut up." I muttered.
"So, the lady said wait here while she finds someone to give you a tour around the place and there is your schedule and what not. I am going to go because I am no longer needed here. Have fun, don't die and see if you can find Scott, though it'll be easier with her around." He said while pointing at Allison.
"Huh?" I asked confused.
"You'll see." He said before leaving.
"Perseus Jackson." I turned to look at the lady who Derek was talking to. Off to the side Allison stood looking bored.
"Just Percy ma'am."
"Well Percy, this is Allison and she's been kind enough to help you get settled in but you guys have mostly all the same classes together so it shouldn't be to difficult."
"Okay, thank you ma'am," I responded before holding the door open for Allison. Before exiting I heard the lady say something about just having to wait for one more student from New York.
I looked over Allison's shoulder at the two schedules she was holding in her hand.

I groaned as I realized that Athena had signed me up for difficult classes.
"Wow, you must be pretty smart to have these kind of classes." Spoke Allison.
"Well, we have mostly the same classes so not bad yourself," I said.
We walked down the hallway as we made our way to our Math class. The hallway was empty since the bell rang a few minutes ago. Already late on the first day, I thought. Allison stopped and opened a door before walking in.
"Sorry, Mr. Chase, I had to bring the new student from the office."
"Ahh it's a good thing you finally decided to join us today Percy." Spoke Mr. Chase.
I looked up and grinned. Mr. Chase a.k.a. Fredrick Chase was my new math teacher. He extended his hand and we shook hands.
"Why don't you introduce yourself to the rest of the class Percy and then take a seat next to Allison."
"Well, my name is Percy Jackson and I am from New York City." After I gave my introduction I walked to the second row from the back of the class and sat next to Allison. On the opposite side of Allison was the red head with the symbol of Hades on her forehead.
"Okay." Mr. Chase started.
I soon found myself dosing off as class went on. Mr. Chase was a good teacher and wouldn't try to call on me since he already knew of my previous school records. Occasionally he would call on me for the easier questions so that it didn't seem like he was favoring me and I was very grateful for it. Soon enough the bell rang and I was packing up my stuff. I slung my bag over my shoulder and started to head to the door were Allison and the red head were waiting for me but decided to talk to Mr. Chase first.
"Hey Mr. Chase, what are you doing here?" I asked when he turned around.
"Well after we seen Annabeth last year before your disappearance we decided to move to Beacon Hills because there was supposed to be less monsters in the area, Annabeth suggested we move here."
"Sorry to disappoint you but the town is going to be crawling with monsters soon. An alpha pack is on their way in to town to stir up problems and the gods sent me to deal with them." I rolled up my sleeve to show him the insignia of Olympus on my right arm.
"Dang," he said before continuing, "Well, hopefully we won't get dragged into this?"
"Nah, I'm pretty sure mortals won't get involved this time, at least not like the Manhattan incident." I said.
"Well get to your next class we can talk more later."
"Bye Mr. Chase." I called before walking out of class. I looked around the hall before seeing Allison and the red head talking to the two werewolves and the guy with Bellona's symbol. I started to walk over to them and Allison the red head greeted me first.
"Hi, your Percy Jackson right? I'm Lydia Martin." She stuck out her hand to shake. I grabbed her hand and got a picture of her family tree. One line of the family tree seemed to be radiating a deathly aura while the rest showed signs of being normal.
"Hey, yeah, you can just call me Percy." I said awkwardly since the other three guys were staring at me.
"Cool. So, Percy, you want join us for lunch later? I mean we're going off campus to eat and I just wanted to know if you would join us." She said.
"Sure?" I said unsurely.
"Great." She turned away from me and back to the other three boys. She grabbed the hand of one and turned to walk away. "See you later Percy! Come on Stiles we have class. Scott! Lets go and leave Allison to be a tour guide for Percy."
The redhead disappeared with the newly named Stiles. I turned back to Allison and the other two people to see one of the werewolves nod to Allison and hurry after the Lydia and Stiles. So that must be Scott. The remaining werewolf turned to Allison and me.
"Hi, I'm Isaac." Spoke the other werewolf.
"Percy."
"Cool, I have English with Allison and you have the class next to us?" He asked.
"Yeah."
We started to walk to the next class and I slowly started to trail behind the other two. As they were talking I started to think about what the signs meant for their group of signs. Allison or her family line was blessed by Artemis, Lydia was a descendant of Hades, Stiles was the son of Bellona I was sent to find, Isaac and Scott were the werewolves of the group. What an interesting group of friends…
"So, Percy, this is your class and mine and Isaac's are right next door." Said Allison breaking me from my thoughts.
"Cool." I said before turning into my classroom. As I entered the door I found someone I thought would never be here, Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares and immortal counselor of Camp Half Blood.
"Finally we ran into each other Prissy." Said Clarisse.
"What are you doing here?" I asked confused.
"Well, the big ones want you to have some backup haha so they sent me. For now I left my cabin to be run by Malcolm until we're done here."
"So, you're my what? Partner?" I asked.
"Sure. What ever you want to call me."
Clarisse and I sat down towards the back of the class and as the teacher started the lesson, I filled her in on all I knew about the alpha pack, the surrounding areas, and the abnormal group of friends. Clarisse silently listened and it didn't occur to me that she wasn't her normal self. Clarisse looked at me like I was a leader and that was something that made me see her in a new light, a good light.
Soon enough English ended and we had the next class together. We found Allison waiting for me outside and a little down the hall. I introduced Clarisse and Allison before we headed to our next class, Chemistry, together. As we walked in the room I noticed that we had the whole group of friends in our class. Allison went to sit next to Lydia who sat in second to the last row towards the back of the class. Scott sat next to Stiles in back of the two while Isaac sat next to a random girl to their side. The only open seats were the two in front of Allison and Lydia and so Clarisse and I slowly made our way to it.
The seats had a pretty good vantage of the classroom and an equal distance to each exit. Clarisse took the seat towards the back door and I took the one towards the front. The whole class period I could feel Scott and Stiles's eyes on the back of my head. Clarisse noticing my uncomfortable put her hand on top a spear shaped pendant on her camp bead necklace. I quickly slapped her shoulder softly and gave her a warning look that clearly said to not do anything rash. Soon enough the class ended and we were off to our History class that we all had together once again.
Clarisse and I chose the seats in the back corner farthest away from the teacher's desk and farthest away from the doors, which ultimately would have been pretty dumb if there weren't glass windows right next to us. The teacher entered the classroom and immediately my magical instincts started to kick in. The teacher was shrouded in mist but we couldn't expose her in front of so many people. Clarisse sensing the same thing tensed up as soon as the teacher entered the room.
The teacher motioned towards us and our bodies went rigid. The werewolves noticed instantly tensing up themselves like preparing themselves for an attack. The teacher introduced us and went back into teaching a lesson and explaining about how we would be learning about different mythologies for the next few weeks. As soon as the bell rang Clarisse and I were out the door and waiting for the rest of the group in the school's parking lot.
Clarisse had bought a car provided by her dad and we would be riding in it. We went to eat lunch at a Pizza Parlor where we met two twin werewolves whose auras looked liked caged wolves in a black net. The two had claimed to be friends of Allison but Clarisse, seeing through the obvious act, told them to piss off or get beaten into a pulp. Allison tried to warn her not to but I stopped her before she could say anything. One of the werewolves reached to grab Clarisse's shoulder but before he could touch her, Clarisse had grabbed his hand and snapped his wrist.
"Listen mutt, if you put your hands on me ever again I will separate your head from your shoulders and torch your body. Got it?" She told the boy before releasing his hand and laughing as they made their way out of the shop. After that the group had returned to school and finished off school.
After school Percy had Clarisse drop him off at the Hale house and come in to meet Talia and Derek. Derek after hearing that Clarisse had broken Aiden's hand laughed and gave her a fist bump. Talia offered that Clarisse stayed with us in the house and she gladly accepted. Soon it was time to go to bed and as my head hit the pillow I entered the one thing hated by all demigods alike, a demigod dream.
A/N & Explanations:
So sorry that I promised two weeks and didn't fulfill my promise. School started to pick up again and the stress has been getting to me. I also want to apologize if things in my story aren't like the PJO books and the Teen Wolf TV show. I honestly don't really remember some of the details from season 3 so I'm making it up as I go and keeping several things similar. This will be a partial between the TV show and an Author's Universe so I will be making changes from the original plots and characters as you have seen above.
Oh and just so you're wondering I am a junior in HIGH SCHOOL so if you start snapping at me or swearing because you're an adult and if shit like this was to happen to you in real life, you should remember that I am the AUTHOR of this story and that if you do not like it to WRITE YOUR OWN and get the hell off my story and piss off. Please Review and like and follow if you feel its good. DON'T SAY ANYTHING THAT INCLUDES SWEARING AT ME next time I will call you out on it (you know who you are). But yeah, until next time :)
For those who have figured it out, each of the group members of the pack have some godly or supernatural relation whether by blood, blessing or change. But none of them have all three like Percy. The reason behind Percy having silver eyes is because he has the strongest connection to the moon then any other werewolf. Since he is the son of Poseidon, blessed of Artemis, and bitten of Lupa it makes him extremely stronger and immune to silver. The ocean and the moon work together to create the tides and the waves so to have complete balance within his body he would have to have complete harmony creating that ethereal silver and sea green glow within his eyes. He can fully transform into a wolf because Lupa, the Roman Wolf Goddess, bit him. All other powers were already explained in the previous sections. Now for Ethan and Aiden I made there souls or wolf auras trapped within a blackened cage and you will soon later on know what that means. They will eventually all be able to recover and free their inner wolves but for now they are trapped. Allison has the blessings of Artemis, Lydia is a descendant of Hades, and Stiles is the son of Bellona as mentioned earlier. Percy will eventually make contact with Stiles alone and explain his mission and what not. Scott is not the True Alpha yet and Isaac and Allison are not together yet. The Darach is not revealed yet and the Alpha Pack leader did not make himself known to the others. Derek will be left alone now that Talia has reappeared in Beacon Hills and another pack will get involved, just not one that you think. Well, that's enough explaining for today.
Thanks for reading my story and author's note. Until Next Time...
