Percy Jackson- Powers of the game

Chapter 7

Percy Pov

Percy was having a shitty week, the weather has been horrible all week, and it was like someone had pissed off Zeus and he was taking it out on them, from what Percy had gathered something already happened on Olympus, weeks ago, but now it seemed the gods finally boiled over. That was actually the theory of many of the campers, you see 5 days ago the camp Councillors went to Olympus to witness the gods meet up for the winter solace. It had been great; Luke left the Stolls in charge which had resulted in an epic prank war between the Hermes and Apollo cabin. Everything was fine until 2 days ago when things took a turn for the worse. Hurricanes were spotted all over the world and storms were sighted all over West Europe and the U.S. The nymphs were even whispering about something being stolen and Mr D would make anybody speculating about it do chores, whether it was doing the dishes or cleaning the Pegasus'. Not that Chiron would ever let Percy near the Pegasi, for some reason Percy was banned until further notice, for his safety or some rubbish like that.

Yet horrible weather was the least of his worries, after the story of the L'ubriaco (which was told 3 days ago), Percy ended up starting to get closed off with the other demigods. It was frustrating, it really was, since these people were supposed to be like him, they were supposed to know what he was going through. Yet for some reason, they couldn't take a fucking hint that he didn't want to think about Gabe. So eventually Percy only spoke to a few people. People who wouldn't stare at him in pity or guilt.

The one thing that everybody had was a family complex, the idea that it is their duty to make sure other demigods live happily. It was tiresome. And while Percy didn't want to speak about his abuse at all, Chiron did send someone to speak to Percy, well that was his theory.

Someone who he knew would get the answers, someone Percy was terrified to refuse, someone Percy couldn't resist, someone Percy currently had sitting on his lap while he braided seaweed and roses into her hair.

"Percy, can I ask you a question?" A blonde 8-year-old girl asked, as she asked this, Percy turned around, and he thought he heard a twig snap. Realising that nobody is there he turned back to the girl he started to view as a sister.

Percy smiled "Sure Lacy"

"Promise you won't get mad" Damn, she did the puppy dog eyes

"I promise I won't get mad"

She grinned "Ok, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, and if you do, I promise I won't tell anyone. It is about your L'ubriaco story" She hesitated like she was afraid he'd get angry. Percy sighed, then waved her on to continue.

She smiled "Well, me and Mitchell were playing games, we weren't supposed to, Silena had a Councillor meeting and told us to go to bed but Drew was put in charge and she doesn't care."

Percy interrupted her there "Is this going anywhere because I promised Travis, I'd help him prank Lee"

She hit him "Yes Perseus it is all nessissiry, nessosisry, nesseri, it is very, very important to my question" she hit him again when he laughed "now don't interrupt me, anyway, me and Mitchell were playing catch with one of my older brothers, Patrick, perfume bottles, he is obsessed with scents and stuff like that, he also told me to tell you he is single and that he would totally go out with you but I told him I think you play for different teams considering I always catch you staring at Silena's bum," Percy thought he heard a gasp, it must be the wind, however, he wasn't totally convinced and decided to test something out.

"What? I don't stare at her bum, and I don't even think she is that attractive, I would much rather stare at Luke's bum"
