Mortals meet Percabeth (and others)

Nyssa Thana meets: Percy Jackson

Welcome to the first chapter of my new Percy Jackson fic Pieces of Us, and please please add it to your reading lists and comment on it as I'm really excited about this fic and if you like this book then there's a high chance you'll like Pieces of Us but this plot was not thought of by myself. The incredibly sweet @pseudonym-lux allowed me to have a stab at making her beautiful plot come alive, so all the love I get from this book should go to her

IT SEEMED WHEN Nyssa Thana found out she was a demigod: She didn't read the terms and conditions, the fine print that listed all the things that could go wrong in a demigod's life and how no matter how many times because maybe if she had she would have said 'No thanks' and moved on with her life that would have been the easiest thing to do

But when has Nyssa Thana took the easy way out?

So sure being a demigod was never easy but Nyssa was determined to make the most of it and as she made her way around the camp infirmary checking supplies and making sure they had everything they needed for tonight in case there were any injuries in the annual Capture the Flag game. ( With the Hunters arriving a camp later that day and the Ares cabin there was due to be at least a broken bone or three )

"Hey Will! I'm happy to do tonights shift if you want to join the game" Nyssa called out to her younger half brother, a smile on her face as Will Solace looks up from his reports a dazed expression painted across his face

"Are you sure Ny I'm happy to do--"

"Nonsense you know I don't really like Capture the flag anyway"

With a wave of her hand, she dismisses every protest that comes out of Will's mouth and winked at him. Knowing that her little brother would much prefer to play capture the flag or more like watching a Son of Hades demolish most of the people on the battlefield which is usually by the woods

Nyssa loved to be in the camp infirmary, there was something about being in there that made her feel at home, maybe it was because she was a child of Apollo ( which surprised a lot of people as she had darker skin than a lot of her siblings didn't have the blonde hair that looked like they spent all their days at the beach or the blue eyes that always seemed to reflect the colour of the sky ) or maybe it was because she had grown up in hospitals waiting for her dads Henry and Jamie to finish their shifts after school and often picked up little bits of knowledge

Which she didn't know then but it would help her in the future

"Thanks, Ny you know you could become camp counsellor if you wanted to--"

"How many times do I have to tell you I don't want to look after our siblings when I can barely look after myself besides they don't know me but they trust you" Nyssa sighed as she moved her hair out of her face. It hadn't been the first time that Will Solace had tried to give up his position for the older teen but she had always refused stating the reasons above

"I know but--"

"But nothing and if you mention it again. Don't forget I'm the daughter of Apollo and two doctors which means I know how to cut all your limbs in such a way that it is the most painful and I can probably get away with hiding a body and no-one would ever know" Nyssa smiled darkly and she chuckled at Will's shiver before looping her arm around his neck and pull him into her chest playfully ruffling his hair "Now let's go before all the food in the Pavillon is gone"

Nyssa was right with the Hunters coming into camp there were a few more injuries than the usual when they had their capture the flag game but it wasn't as bad as it looked a few dislocated ankles here and a broken arm there but nothing that couldn't be fixed with a little ambrosia and nectar well that was until a raven-haired boy who towered over her and looked like he spent every waking moment at the beach came in clutching his side and it was only when Nyssa's eyes travelled down his torso did she realise he was bleeding

"How the hell did this happen?"

The boy furrowed his eyebrows as if he didn't understand the mortal curse that flew out of Nyssa's mouth but he also looked confused as to why he was even there and he winced as he breathed through his nose "I was lightly stabbed"

He seemed to sway for a moment as he was getting dizzy from the blood loss as his blood seemed to be staining his hands as he held them over his stab wound and andrelin seemed to spike in Nyssa as she rushed forward to catch him and hold him up

"I'm sorry did you just say you were stabbed?"

"Lightly" Percy corrected with a chuckle

The daughter of Apollo didn't know what to say as she guided the boy over to a bed and sat him down before quickly cleaning her hands as she didn't want to have to deal with an infection and quickly wrang out a cloth with water and moved the boy's hand and held the cloth to his wound and it immediately started to heal itself

Nyssa would've been surprised if she didn't know her parents were gods

"I...I forgot about my healing powers, I shouldn't have come here" The boy tried to move off the bed but Nyssa was quicker and pushed him back down onto the bed and the boy looked up at the girl before trying to explain himself "I haven't used them much since being down there I guess I forgot about them"

"How did you even get stabbed in the first place?"

"Di Angelo" The boy chuckled lowly, no longer wincing in pain "I ran into him during the game and well he asked me to move but I wouldn't, he got angry and I started to goad him saying what are you going to do stab me? And so he did"

"You're stupid"

"Not the first time I heard that"

He paired his words with a crooked grin and it chilled Nyssa to the bone. With his brooding face, it seemed that the boy was incapable of making a joke or cracking a smile but then he opens his mouth and every other word that comes out of it seemed sarcastic and it was only then when she wasn't concered with him bleeding out or how his skin just seemed to patch himself up, did she recognise who he was

Percy Jackson, the boy her siblings told her about

And she had just called him stupid...
