Crazy trouble with love
Medusa, Euryale, Stheno, and Percy
Series: Percy Jackson
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover looked up at the foreboding palace.
"Well, this is it, time to get the master bolt." said Percy as they started walking towards the palace. But as he walked towards it, he felt a worse feeling coming from a large hole near the palace that seemed like it was drawing him in. Suddenly he fell on his but as his shoes sprouted wings and started flying towards the hole against his will.
"Percy!" cried Grover and Annabeth as they ran over and grabbed his arms to try and pull him back.
"I can't stop! Get the shoes off!" he cried out while they were pulled closer to the hole. Just as he was about to go into the pit Annabeth and Grover lost their grip on him
He found himself flying into the pit as he heard his friends cry out for him. Then all he saw was darkness.
He felt the wind hit him as he fell and tried grabbing around for something. Unfortunately the shoes brought him far enough from the edge to keep him from grasping a handhold. 'Am I gonna die when I hit the bottom?'
He got out his sword and threw it down to see how deep it was till he hit bottom, unknowingly hitting a certain Titan of time.
'Oh, I will hang you for that.' growled Kronos in his mind.
Unfortunately, due to the momentary distraction, Percy flew past Kronos' cage without being caught as planned.
But he did start getting the feeling he was getting close to the bottom. "Shit, stupid shoes, stop stop, stop!" Shouted Percy. It seemed to work slightly as they slowed down, but that's when he felt himself hit the bottom. He felt himself land hard before the ground seemed to pop.
"Ow! That's gonna leave a bruise." he groaned. He got up and say that there where pimple like pods surrounding him. And he was currently sitting on one that had a crack in it.
'Shit, what are these?' He thought as he inspected the crack.
It seemed to slowly get bigger and shake a little.
'Shit, shit, shut.' thought Percy as he reached for his sword, only to find it wasn't in his pocket yet. "Damn it!"
Just then the pod exploded in white goo, covering Percy in the goop.
"Gross!" he jumped off and hissed from the pain in his foot while trying to wipe the substance off. While he was swearing he didn't notice three forms rise from the goop. Each one slowly groaned and stretched out their limbs before Percy slowly looked at them.
"What the hell?" Percy softly said before he dived behind one of the pods.
"Ah, it's about time." spoke one of them, a female from the sounds of it followed by some hissing.
"I'm just glad your elbow isn't in my side anymore." another said.
"You kept pressing against me to the side, now my back feels out of place." groaned a third followed by more hissing.
'They don't sound like monsters.' thought Percy as he continued to listen.
"Wait, something's wrong."
"What do you- holy crap you're young!"
"You both are!"
"Hey, you aren't turning us to stone either!"
'Stone? Wait...hissing...three of them...oh no.' Just then Percy's nose betrayed him and he sneezed.
"Wait, I heard something." one of the voices spoke up.
"And I smell something." growled another with more hissing.
'Shit.' thought Percy.
"A demigod." hissed one before footsteps could be heard.
He reached into his pocket only to remember that it still hadn't come back yet. And before he could groan in frustration, he was yanked out from behind the pod.
"YOU!"
Percy's eyes widened when he saw who grabbed him. The face was still the same youthful one, but looked younger with the same snakes hissing on her head in the place of hair. "Medusa?!" Percy shouted out as she dragged him towards the other voices. "B-B-But how!?"
"Sis, who is this?" Asked one of the other voices.
"The demigod who killed me." growled Medusa walking over to two females similar to her.
They narrowed their reptilian eyes and one said. "How dare you hurt our sister!"
"Let's end him!" hissed another with coral snakes for hair.
"Hey, it's not like I had a choice, it was either her or me!" Shouted Percy.
"No excuses!" growled the third girl with green vipers for hair.
"Hey, how come he isn't stone yet?" Asked the Gorgan with coral hair.
"Maybe he isn't looking hard enough." spoke the Gorgan with green viper hair.
Medusa decided to end it and said. "Say hi to Hades for me." before she looked him dead in his eyes.
Percy tried to close his eyes, but Medusa made sure to keep them open as they kept eye contact. They looked into each other's eyes, Percy noticing her reptilian green eyes and Medusa his ocean blueish green eyes.
But what all four noticed was Percy wasn't changing at all.
"Hey, how come you aren't stone yet? Asked the gorgan with green vipers for hair.
"I don't know."
"Why isn't it working, it always worked before!" Shouted Medusa who started to panick.
"Let me try." spoke the coral snake girl.
"Fine." said Medusa as she handed Percy over towards her.
His eyes were held open again as he looked into the girl's eyes. This Gorgon's eyes were yellow instead of green like Medusa's. The snakes hissed at him, but nothing happened.
"Damn it, what's the problem!" she shouted angrily.
"You're not trying hard enough." frowned the green viper girl pushing her aside before facing Percy. She widened her eyes and got super close to Percy's face to where their noses where touching, her blue orange eyes staring into his.
"I don't think anything is happening." remarked Percy.
"Shut up!" All three sisters yelled.
He gulped as the girl let go and they looked lost and stunned.
"What is going on, we look younger and we can't turn people to stone anymore!" Said Medusa.
"But the pod should have healed us completely!"
"Yeah but... Wait a second." said Medusa before turning towards Percy. "What...did you...do?!"
"Me! I don't know!" Shouted Percy as he started to back away from the Gorgon sisters.
"Then what are you doing down here in the first place?"
"I don't know, these stupid flying shoes dragged me down here and the next thing I know I'm here!" He shouted.
"Maybe he broke the pod."
"Hey, I didn't mean to land on your pod." he said nervously as all three sisters glared at him.
"Do you have any idea what you've done!" growled Medusa with her snakes hissing in anger.
"Hey, it was an accident." said Percy as he continued to back up.
"If that pod is destroyed in the middle of us being resurrected, it can cause stuff like this!" growled the coral viper sister.
"Well sorry, it's not like you came out missing an arm or something." said Percy before he tripped over a different pod.
"Do you realize that we could be stuck like this forever?!"
"Well, it can't be all bad, your younger now." he said sheepishly while looking around for something to help him.
The sisters blinked and seemed to ponder that over.
"Yeah, but now our defense from Demigods are now gone!" Medusa shouted, not wanting to admit Percy was right.
"But we do have less wrinkles." remarked the coral snake sister.
"Yeah, but Demigods are still going to come after us just to have the glory of killing the fearsome Gorgons." retorted Medusa.
"She raised a good point." remarked the green viper girl.
"Well, maybe I can help." said Percy.
"Yes, the one who did this and killed me is willing to help, I can see this ending just well." replied Medusa with sarcasm.
"Hey, it's only fair that I help you seeing that I kinda caused this." he said. "But first, I gotta ask, what are your names? I know Medusa, but the other two I'm not that familiar with."
"My name is Euryale." said the one with coral snakes.
"I am Stheno." spoke the one with green vipers.
"Alright, I have an idea on how to get out." said Percy.
"What?"
"Well, in the original myth Euryale and Stheno had wings, do you still have them or did I mess that up to?" Percy asked.
"Hmm, we'll have to try." replied Stheno. She and her sister concentrated until a pair of bat wings popped out of their backs. "Wow, it's been ages since I used these." grinned Stheno.
"Ugh, they can barely carry ourselves now." Euryale said as she tried flying.
"Great work Percy Jackson. Now we know for sure we're stuck down here." frowned Medusa.
"Well, I could try carrying you all." he said.
"And how are you going to get us all out?"
"Easy" said Percy "Maia!"
The sisters watched as wings sprouted from the shoes on Percy.
"Ok, this starting to be uncomfortable, you're too much like him" said Euryale.
"Hermes?" he asked.
"No, the original killer of my sister, Perseus, you have the same name, killed my sister once and you have the same damn flying shoes!"
Percy flinched while the Gorgons looked more miffed than before. "Look, I'm sorry if my appearance gives you bad memories, but it's our only way out of here." he said.
"I'd rather climb out." frowned Medusa walked past him.
"That's too dangerous and I have to get to Olympus." said Percy.
"Not my problem." she replied as she started to try and climb up the side of the wall. Only for her to slip right as a fireball came out of the wall she was just trying to climb.
"Looks like climbing really is out of the option." remarked Percy.
"Shut up." Medusa said as she looked away with a blush of embarrassment.
"Look, I know it's crazy to say this, but I'm willing to help you three out of here. It might seem awkward, but would you rather stay down here for the rest of your lives? Plus consider it my way of saying sorry for getting you stuck like this."
The three sisters huddled together quickly to talk about their options.
"What do you think?" asked Stheno.
Medusa sighed and said. "Honestly, right now he's our best bet out of here."
"Even though you probably want to gut him like a fish, right?" guessed Euryale.
"Kind off" she said sheepishly "But I have a good reason to!"
"True, but he is offering us a way out of here, to guard us from Demigods and he made us young!" Said Stheno.
"I forgot how good it felt to be this young." remarked Euryale.
"Plus he does look kinda cute." muttered Medusa with a blush.
That got shocked looks from her sisters before grinning mischievously.
"What's this? Medusa has a crush on the Demigod?"
"Wow. He's just like the first man who killed you, with a similar name. I think someone's had a secret like for the tough guys."
Medusa blushed and said. "Shut up, I don't like him."
"Your face says otherwise~"
"Well, if you don't like him, I'll take a chance at him, it's not everyday a strong handsome Demigod treats someone like us so kindly." said Euryale with a blush.
"You can wait after me." smirked Stheno.
"No! I had him first!" shouted Medusa before she yanked Stheno's snakes.
"Ow!" she cried out before yanking one of Medusa's snakes.
Medusa tried to punch her but she ducked and so she hit Euryale by mistake.
"Ow! That's it!" growled Euryale before slapping Medusa.
Medusa slapped her back and kicked Sthenos at the same time.
Pretty soon each one of them started hitting the others while Percy noticed and was confused.
"What on earth is going on?" Percy asked himself, not wanting to get in the middle of three monsters fighting without his sword.
The three of them stopped and panted while glaring at the others.
"There's only one way to settle this." said Medusa.
"Oh? How so?"
Medusa grinned and said. "Have Percy decide."
All three turned to said Demigod who felt nervous under their gaze, and it had nothing to do with being turned to stone. All three smirked seductively as they walked towards the demigod, swaying their hips in sync. 'Oh this won't end well.'
"Oh Percy, we have a question for you." called Medusa as she dragged out his name.
"Uh, what is it?"
"Which do you prefer?"
"What do you mean?"
"Out of the three of us, who do you like the best?" Said Euryale.
"It's me right?" grinned Stheno.
"Of course not, it's obviously me." said Euryale.
"No, me." spoke Medusa before grabbing his face. "After all, we did meet before he even knew about you two."
Percy gulped, feeling trapped in this situation, knowing there was no right answer. "Uhhhh...all?"
This confused them and they all asked. "Huh?"
"Well, I don't know what to say. I never had three girls like me. One of whom I cut her head off, and two I barely know. Plus, eventually I'll end back at camp, meaning you three would be in trouble the entire time."
The girls blushed before medusa said. "You might not be able to go back to camp."
"Because we might be stuck down here?"
"Because you promised to protect us, which means you have to stay with us always." said Euryale.
"And trust us, breaking a promise like that is a bad move." spoke Stheno with her hair hissing in agreement.
"So essentially, I'm basically married to all three of you?" Percy asked.
"Well more like lovers." grinned Euryale. "But thinking about marriage at a young age? Someone's bold~"
At that Percy fainted.
"Look what you did." frowned Medusa.
"What I did! You're the one who started this, right Stheno? Stheno?" Said Euryale, only to find her sister putting Percy's head in her lap. "What are you doing?" she growled.
"I'm just making sure my Percy is comfortable." she said as she stroked his cheek.
"YOUR Percy?" growled her sisters with their hairs hissing even louder.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" She asked, her hair beginning to hiss as well.
Both sisters moved over and positioned Percy to where his body and legs were set up on their laps.
"He's our Percy too so we should hold him as well." said Medusa.
"Just don't get any funny ideas." spoke Stheno.
"Like you were?" Said Euryale She got a glare in response with both their snakes hissing at the other.
One thing was for sure, Percy's life just got a whole lot more interesting
