here's number four(:
btww thanks everyone thats reading and commenting i really appreciate it ;)
Percy stood there for a minute probably processing what i'd just told him. After what seemed like hours of looking at him think he said,
"You mean if i killed one, accidently with a sword...-" I ammediatly knew what he was talking about because he didn't just drool in his sleep, he talks in it to.
"The Fur-," I cut myself off, i was right near the guy who just killed a Fury. I can't say that near him. "I mean, your math teacher. That's right. She's still out there. You just made her very, very mad."
"How did you know about Mrs. Dodds."
"You talk in your sleep." I explained.
Percy thought for about two seconds then said,
"You almost called her something." I silently prayed 'dont say the word, dont say the word'... then guess what he said... yes the word. "A Fury? They're Hades torturers right?"
Alright kid, i thought, if we get gobbled up into the Underworld im soooo kickin your butt!
"You shouldn't call them by name, even here. We call them the Kindly Ones, if we have to speak of them at all."
"Look, is there anything we CAN say without it thundering?" He asked. He was really getting on my nerves. I know i probably had these many questions when i first came, but why did i get stuck with this guy? Then he asked ANOTHER stupid question.
"Why do i have to stay in cabin eleven, anyway? Why is everyone crowded together? There are plenty of empty bunks over there." He pointed to Zeus and Hera's cabins. It was cute of him thinking it was that easy. That you could just walk into Zeus cabin and take a little nap.
Then i tought about it and i suddenly got this image of Percy walking into Zeus' cabin and getting blasted into dust. I turned pale.
"You don't just choose your cabin Percy. It depends on who your parents are. Or... parent."
I looked at him waiting for him to catch on and realize who he is. A demigod like the rest of us here at camp.
"My mom is Sally Jackson," He finally said, "She works in the candly store in Grand Central Station. At least... she used to." I felt bad for him. I chose to run away from my Dad, he didn't have a choice, his mom was just taken away. It wasn't fair to have your mom killed just because of who you are.
"I'm sorry about your mom Percy. But that's not what i mean. I'm talking about your other parent. Your dad."
"He's dead. I never knew him." He said.
I sighed. Why do parents always tell their kids their moms or dads were killed or dropped off the face of the planet and never showed up again. Everyone i've talked to thinks this.
"Your fathers not dead, Percy." He looked at me with a confused, but hopeful look.
"How can you say that? You know him?"
Pshh! I thought, i've never even met my mom!
"No, of course not."
"Then how can you say-" I cut him off.
"Because i know YOU. You wouldn't been here if you weren't one of US."
"You don't know anything about me."
This guy doesn't know HALF the stuff i know about him, i thought.
"No?" I said raising an eyebrow, "I bet you move around from school to school. I bet you get kicked out of a lot of them."
"How-" He began to asked, but i wasn't done proving him wrong.
"Diagnosed with dyslexia. Probably ADHD too."
"What does that have to does with anything?" He asked, looking embarassed, but he didn't know that without ADHD he would've been killed by The Minotaur.
"Taken together it's almost a sure sign. The letters float off the page when you read, right? That's because your brain is hardwired for ancient Greek. And for the ADHD- you're impulsive, you can't sit still in the classroom. That's your battle reflexis. In a real fight, they'd keep you alive. As for the attention problems, that's because you see too much, Percy, not too little. Your senses are better than a regular mortal's. Of course the teachers want you medicated. Most of them are monsters. They don't want you seeing them for who they really are."
He stared at me, then looked around, then looked back at me, then stared at the ground. He was probably wondering how i knew all this stuff.
"You sound like... you went through the same thing?" He asked.
"Most of the kids here did. If you weren't like us, you couldn't have survived The Minotaur, much less the ambrosia and nectar."
I had a flashback to when i stuffed the pudding into his mouth. Thinking about it now it was a pretty good idea.
"Ambrosia and Nectar."
"The food and drink we were giving you to make you better." I explained, "That stuff would've killed a normal kid. It would've turned your blood into fire and your bones to sand and you'd be dead. Face it. You're a half blood."
It was silent for a few moments, then a familiar... disgusting voice yelled, "Well! A newbie!"
Okay let me tell you about Clarisse. She is the most horrid girl you will ever meet. She thinks shes all tough and what not 'cause her dad's God of War. Big deal. My mom's the reason they have plans for war and strategies to defeat the enemy. Without my mom, wars would be just death and explosions. But Clarisse of course didn't see it that way. She just thought she was the best out of the best. Which she wasn't. I had to get her away from terrorizing Percy.
"Clarisse," I sighed trying to think up an excuse. "Why don't you polish your spear or something?"
"Sure Miss Princess," She said. I was glaring at her now. "So i can run you through with it Friday Night."
HAHA. Yeah right. I thought.
"Erre es korakas!" I yelled.(Which was Greek for go to the crows.) Maybe if we're lucky the crows would come pick her up and feed her to their babies.
"We'll pulverize you," She said back, with doubt written all over her face. "Who's this little runt?"
"Percy Jackson," I said, "Meet Clarisse, Daughter of Ares." Percy looked suprised. How could you be suprised at anything after what i just told him.
"Like... the war god?"
"You got a problem with that?" Clarisse asked, I wanted to say 'Yes, we all have a problem with that and you.'
"No, it explains the bad smell." Percy said, i giggled, but then stopped when i saw Clarisse's face.
"We've got an initiation ceremony for newbies, Prissy."
"Percy."
"Whatever. Come on. I'll show you."
"Clarisse-" I said trying to warn Percy.
"Stay out of it, wise girl."
She was just jealous that all she had as a weapons were her spear and swords, and i had those AND brains. Then i decided i didn't want to be part of the initiation too, so i stayed out of it.
Percy handed me his Minotaur horn. After that he didn't really have a choice to do anything else because he was being dragged forcevly to the bathrooms. I was scared for him, he had no chance against these guys, so i covered my eyes and hoped for the best.
Clarisse kept laughing about how 'He's not big three material', but neither then again is she. That's when it was time for Percy's head to meet toilet water. Ew.
After him kicking and screaming something insane happened. Water started shooting from toilet bowls and the pipes. It was like a water park only there defitenly WAS NOT chlorine in this water.
That couldn't have happened from the Ares girls because they were screaming and drench, and unfortunatly so was i. That's when i looked up and stared at him with my mouth hanging open because around Percy was a huge dry circle... and he was dry to.
I only thought one thing... Poseidon.
He started to stand up and i finally had the ability to talk. "How did you..."
"I don't know." He answered looking as shocked as i was.
When we went outside Clarisse and her gang was still there ringing their hair and spitting. "You're dead new boy." Clarisse said spitting water. "You're totally dead."
You want to gargle with toilet water again, Clarisse? Close your mouth."
I was staring at him, thinking two things: He was kind of cute when he was being tough, and my new plan for capture the flag. He was soooo going to be the bait for the Ares girls.
"What?" He demanded, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking... That i want you on my team for capture the flag.
