The Power Of Darkness (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Fox First Person POV

I woke up with the biggest headache I've ever had, It felt like I had a hangover on steroids, I wanted to lay in my bed forever. That was until all the events that happened recently flashed into my mind, I sat up fast which hurt every muscle and bone in my body. My skin itself ached and I collapsed back down onto the bed. I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted with the sight of a golden medical room, the smell of antiseptic fresh in the air, mixing with smells of bleach and pine sol burning the inside of my nose. I sat up again gingerly, I grimaced as pain shot up my body specifically my left arm, I glanced at my arm which had a couple stitches where the dracene’s arrow pierced me. I looked over my body, I was in a hospital gown, on my wrist was a hospital band showing I was a patient. I read my name on the band and the hospital I was in; “Apollo’s Infirmary”was written clearly on the band. I swung my feet over the edge and looked at the golden medical room, the brightness hurting my eyes. I stepped onto the cold tile floor and a buzzer went off immediately making me jump. Suddenly a bright flash made me avert my gaze, when the light was gone I turned back to see a tan man wearing khaki cargo shorts, a sleeveless shirt, and a pair of sunglasses. He had golden blonde hair, underneath the sunglasses he had sky blue eyes which showed his laid back demeanor.

“Hey kid names Apollo, God of The Sun, Music, Poetry, etc. Anyway how you feeling? You feeling alright?” He asked talking kind of rapidly and as I went to speak I realized how dry my throat was, Apollo made a glass of water appear in my hand and I downed the glass in an instant.

“Better than I was before, I can tell you that.” I said, he smiled his megawatt smile again,his bright white teeth giving me a headache, and started helping me to stand.

“Where am I? What’s going on?” I asked as Apollo led me to the door. This place was awesome, just from what I had seen there was an arcade room, a movie theater, an indoor spa and pool with a hot tub, and a bowling alley.

“You’re in my place where I live, as for what’ going on you took a nasty dose of Hydra poison, basically nerve poison. Zeus wants to see you, talk to you and see what your all about, get what I’m saying?” he asked and I nodded Zeus wanted to size me up as a threat an ally or a weapon he can use. Apollo handed me some clothes and I stepped into a room and slipped them on real quick, I was wearing a pair of black jeans, a black shirt, and a pair of red and black DC shoes, my favorite pair.

"Thanks Lord Apollo." I said, and Apollo held up his hand, and gave me a smile.

"No thanks needed bro and you can drop The Lord stuff, you saved my sister's hunter from being hurt. In turn you protected my sister from grief for that I thank you my friend." Apollo said and offered me his hand for a shake, I took it and gave it a firm shake looking him in the eye.

"Names Fox in case I didn't tell you or you didn't know Apollo." I said and Apollo smiled at me.

"Cool name Fox, you got a strong handshake there too." He said and clapped me on the shoulder.

"Feel free to ask me a favor sometime but right now close your eyes, I'll flash us to the throne room.” Apollo said and I was about to ask why before he started to glow so I closed my eyes quick. When I opened them I was once again in the middle of the throne room, somehow Apollo was already in his throne. Zeus once again gave me a glare to make me feel like an insect. Apollo gave me a supportive thumbs up, Hera looked at me with interest hidden in her expression, Hestia sent me a look of encouragement, Artemis didn’t look at me at all, Ares simply sharpened a huge sword, Hephaestus tinkered with some small machine in his hand, Aphrodite fiddled with her make up but kept sneaking peeks at me, Poseidon still had a look of interest towards me but was obviously bored as he fiddled with his trident, Hermes simply was checking messages on his phone, Athena shuffled some papers she was reading, Dionysus was asleep with a magazine on his face, and Demeter was having a bowl of cereal.
