Broken

Someone my Age

Peter's P.O.V

I woke up at 08:00. I walked into the kitchen to a delicious smell. There were chocolate chip cookies, waffles and muffins sitting on the table. Who made these? I grabbed a muffin and had a mini heart attack when I heard a chuckle. I clutched my heaving chest and gasped for air.

"Don't you scare me like that!" I told Loki. He chuckled again.

"Who made these?" I asked him.

"Percy did." He said, surprising me. Percy didn't hit me as a baking guy.

"How do you know?" I asked.

"I was there, watching him. He didn't notice me there." I chuckled. It wasn't too difficult not to notice him.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"In the pool." He replied immediately.

"And how do you know that?"

"Please, I'm the good of mischief. I can locate anyone's mind." I walked away awkwardly. After a while of walking I reached the pool. I looked down and had another mini heart attack. Percy was lying down, eyes closed on the bottom of the pool. I was about to jump in when Percy opened an eye. He saw me, grinned and swam up.

"Hey." He said.

"How long have you been in there?" I asked.

"What's the time now?"

"About 08:30."

"Then about three and a half hours."

"You've been in the pool for three hours?" He nodded and climbed out.

"How are you completely dry?" I asked. He didn't answer.

"How did you get that bruise on your jaw?" He asked. I touched it and winced. I had tried to cover it up, but it was huge.

"Oh, um... you kinda punched me." I said awkwardly. Percy winced.

"So you're the spider guy." He said. I nodded.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you that hard." He apologised.

"It's okay."

"No, it's not. Here, give me your hand." I wearily gave him my hand. He took my arm and dipped his other arm into the water. A cooling sensation creeped up the arm Percy was holding and I realised that water was slowly running up my shoulder. Percy's eyes were closed and he was frowning in concentration. The water went up my neck and circled my bruised jaw. I felt a cool relief and felt the bruise fade. I gently touched my jaw and didn't feel any pain. I walked to a mirror and didn't even see a shadow of the once large bruise.

"Wha...h-how did you do that?" I asked, shocked.

"I can control water." He said with a shrug.

"Wow. Thanks." I told him.

"Don't worry about it."

"I'm glad that there is finally someone my age." I said with a smile. He grinned at me.

"We are going to have fun together, I know it." he told me and slowly got up.

"I'm gonna go to my room quickly. See you later." He said and left.
