Hey guys I'm back! I recently saw that I got reviews, which has made my day, so blue cookies for you all! (::) (::)!
Anyway, meet Victoria!
Percy POV
I slowly moved away from the two Empousai and closer to an alcove several feet away, I crawl in and start to carve a rock into a smooth pebble with water I got from my magical cup, several seconds later, I finish. I put away my stuff then crawl out again, I sneak over to the boulder I was at earlier. I pull back my arm and throw with all I've got. The pebble bounces off one Empousa's head and hits the other in the eye, they screech and hiss and look for the attacker, what they didn't realize was that I was standing on the boulder above them.
Fortunately for me, dimwitted monsters never look up.
I jump down and impale one straight through her spinal cord, I then quickly jump up and attempt to slash at the other one, but she starts attacking furiously with her claws, I duck and weave through her blows, until finally I manage to duck under one of her sweeps where she swiped both arms at my head, and then impale Riptide through the bottom of her skull.
She then explodes into golden dust.
Which splatters all over me...
Ugh...
I wipe it off and continue into the cave, I then come across a small camp with about 7 regular Empousai and 3 Elders, this time I decide to just come in guns blazing, but to do that, I'm going to need to prepare, I take out my magic cup and summon hundreds of cups of water and dump them on the ground, I then pick up the water and turn it into icy armor and several ice spears.
Training with my half-brother Triton seriously upgraded my powers…
I slowly make them float above my head and wait for the Empousai looking in my direction to turn around, after about a minute of waiting I silently launch the lethal projectiles.
"HISSS!"
I groan as their synchronized hissing wails hurl their horrid sounds on my eardrums.
6 of the regular Empousai have been killed, as well as 2 of the Elders, all of them with holes somewhere in their bodies, I pick the leftover water and turn it into a shield to go into the hut where I saw the last two Empousai enter, the hut was a simple affair, made of the bones of some giant snake-like creatures, maybe a drakon, and Hellhound pelts for walls, with more Hellhound furs in between certain parts to act as dividing interior walls.
As I walk through the second "interior door" the last regular Empousai jumps at me, but I simply pull a Skyrim (What? I may be demigod but that doesn't mean the Hermes kids didn't steal us a PlayStation with a couple [dozen] games and let us use them every now and again) and shield bash her into the pelt wall, which collapses it, I then simply walk over and stab her in the forehead. I quickly walk over to the last divided room and kick open the rickety woven door, I find the Elder Empousai beating a small child with a whip, screaming about leading Him here, probably me, nonetheless, I dart forward and in a swish of my wrist decapitate the Empousai as soon as she gets the chance to look at me.
I hear the girl whimper and I look down on her.
"Are you okay?" I ask in the gentlest voice I could possibly create.
She whimpers quietly...
"Oh, it's okay! Don't worry with me around you'll be safe!"
In a split second, she jumps into my arms and loops her arms around my neck, and then promptly stays there...
3 Hours later
I had discovered that the little girl hanging from my neck is two things... One, is she is my first companion, second, she is a young, not-violent Empousai.
Right now, she's asleep while piggy-backing on me, the trauma of being beat probably forced her to sleep. I continue walking through the fiery wastes of Tartarus, avoiding monsters when I can. I didn't want to use my new Chaos powers since, well, I wouldn't know how to explain it to the girl and the only 3 creatures I can turn into right now is a Hellhound and a Regular/Elder Empousai. Soon enough I pull myself out of my thoughts and look ahead and find...
A temple of Hermes, in Tartarus.
How?...
I rush over and find a couple dusty skeletons and on the other side a cyclopes camp, which as soon as I put the girl down in an alcove, I rush beside the camp, just outside the shadows of their fire, I then take out my cup of water, flip it upside down, and think water.
Gallons and Gallons of water start pouring out, which I manipulate to turn into a massive ring around the cyclopes' camp, then I make the interior side sharp as a blade, and then start shrinking it.
Very fast.
The cyclopes stood no chance as they were swiftly bisected or beheaded, assuming they were standing and sitting respectively.
I walk over to the golden piles of dust and watch as it turns into silver mist and turns into a silver cloud hovering in front of me, it hurtles toward me, and I let it hit me. As soon as it does, I let it settle inside me, and then I could feel my strength growing exponentially. I walk over to a boulder next to the temple and punch it, the whole boulder develops crack lines, however it doesn't fall apart.
I nod to myself then head back into the shrine, I pick some large pieces of rubble using my new strength and great a small U shaped structure around the alcove Victoria was in.
I sigh, walk to the alcove she's in and lay down outside of it, and then turn my pack into a pillow, and promptly fall asleep.
3 hours later
Victoria POV
"AAAHHH!"
I scream in fright as I realize I'm not in any semblance of a familiar place anymore, I look around frantically for a weapon since both my claws and my fangs are too short to do much.
However as soon as I turn around I find a 19 maybe 20 year old guy to my left wearing a black T-Shirt, black pants, and black combat boots with raven-black hair, a swimmer's build and startling green eyes that draw you in to the bottom of the sea. I quickly snap out of my shock and scream again, which makes the guy jump about 2 feet in the air.
"Don't hurt me" I whimper.
"Oh, don't worry I won't hurt you." He says as he rubs his eyes.
"Although I do want to ask you two questions, first off, what's your name?"
"Um, my name is Victoria... no last name..."
He smiles, his eyes twinkling, yet I can see weariness in his eyes, like he's tired of it all.
"My name is Percy Jackson" He smiles kindly.
"Do you need anything to drink?" he asks.
As soon as he said that, I felt the burn for the want for blood.
"Um, yes but... if you haven't noticed..." I point to my slightly larger than normal canines and my fiery red hair which on a single thought turned into flames. He jumps a little due to my hair turning into flames and then I wince and anticipate the part where he takes out a weapon and stabs me, it's what everyone, monster or demigod, does.
To my surprise, he actually puts his forearm in front of me, as if he were offering me his blood...
"Just don't suck me dry, ok?"
I gasp and then not two seconds later jump on him and hug him for all I'm worth.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I kiss him on the cheek and then eagerly jump on to his wrist where I then bite where his artery would be, soon enough I feel myself getting rejuvenated and gaining power from how strong his blood was, which I figured was Poseidon because his blood was bittersweet. I quickly drink up an entire pint, the most I could drink without knocking him out. I then pull back and moan slightly at how tasty his blood was...
He laughs slightly and then says, "You know, next time, could you maybe drink a little less?
I smile, I stand up from the rock I was sitting on and walk over to him, where I then sit on his lap and cuddle there.
I whisper, "Thank you, Brother..."
He smiles, and then wraps his arms around me, settling himself to sleep.
I quickly follow him to the realm of Morpheus…

Go back and reread! I've edited the entire story and made it less... Cancerous. That and I will start updating more, I've put this off long enough for something that isn't worth my time.
