Poseidon's Kids

Chapter 9

Annabeth: "Hey. Wake up..."

Harry: "Ugh, 5 more minutes?"

Percy: "Annie please? You know I love you right?" 

Annabeth: "Ugh, seaweed brain! You're going to miss breakfast." Both boys sat up at the mention of food, realizing how hungry they were. Harry sat up so fast that he managed to knock Percy of the bed.

Percy: "Great way to wake me up bro." 

Harry: "Sorry! I didn't mean to! Are you okay?!" Harry said frantically, not wanting to have hurt his little brother by accident. Percy looked at Harry, realizing he was being serious and was actually worried.

Percy: "Hey! I'm fine Harry! See?" He said standing up and doing a little twirl.

Harry: "Sorry, I just didn't want to have been the person to hurt my little brother. I mean now that I know you're my little brother and Aqua's my little sister I feel kind of protective of you both. Which, speaking of Aqua, where is she?" 

Percy: "First, it goes both ways, but know that since I'm a demigod I get into battles and wars quite a bit, so you won't be able to protect me that much. Second of all, she should be in the Poseidon Cabin. I'll take you there once the doctor discharges you." 

Annabeth: "I'll get, Will. He's outside." Annabeth said, reminding them that she was still there. She came back in dragging in Nico who was complaining. 

Nico: "Oh come on! I was finally getting some me time!"

Annabeth: "The doctor's out, so you're discharging him after checking him. Once you do that, your free to go."

Percy: "Neeks!"

Nico: "Ugh. You." 

Percy: "Is that really how you greet your favorite cousin?" Percy said, looking at Nico holding his chest dramatically. Nico just groaned and looked at Harry. 

Nico: "So. Who's he?"

Percy: "Oh. He's my older brother! Biologically!"

Nico: "Ugh. Not another cousin!" Nico said not thinking about the fact that Percy said biologically. 

Thalia: "Whatever do you mean Neeks? I thought you loved us?" Thalia said jumping in from the window. "And what do you mean 'another cousin'? I thought Poseidon and Zeus only broke the rule when having me, Perce, and Jason? Whose kid is he?" She said, nodding towards Harry.

Harry: "Um Hi. My name's Harry. I have 2 siblings. Hurt either of them and ill kill you."

Aqua: "You care for us already?" Aqua said, walking into the infirmary wearing jeans and a plain sea-green shirt.

Harry: "Of course I do! It's okay if it's not the same the other way. I mean its weird yeah, but it's cool."

Aqua: "No! I care too. For both of you." She said nodding at Harry and then at Percy. 

Thalia: "Hold up!" Thalia made a timeout sign and turned towards Percy. "Your siblings?"

Percy: "Yup. Aqua's my twin who's been living at Olympus her whole life, and Harry's our older brother."

Thalia and Nico: "OLDER brother?!"

Percy: "Yup." Percy then looked at Harry and asked a question. "Have you ever fought in a war." Harry then looked away, and Percy realized he had. He knew that look. He himself had made that look several times. 

Harry: "Yes... There was a wizard. He killed my foster family when I was 1. That's how I got this scar. He had tried to kill me, but the curse had rebounded, and I ended up with this scar. Then he killed my friends and classmates during my school years. Several of them. Then in my 6th year, there was a war. I lost several friends and people who I had thought of as family. I  lost people that I didn't even know, and it hurt that I didn't know them before." Harry started to cry, and Aqua and Percy came forward and sat next to him on the bed and hugged him. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Will cam barging into the Infirmary. 

Will: "Hey guys, just came to tell you that Harry is discharged... Are you guys okay?"

Nico: "Um yeah. I'll tell you later if I'm allowed too, alright? Let's go to breakfast, guys." Nico said, not waiting for an answer and pulling Will out the door with him.

Harry: "Yeah, lets go..." Percy and Aqua helped him up and together, along with Thalia and Annabeth walking next to them, they went to breakfast and sat down together at the Poseidon Table. They waved over Nico and Will, so they could sit together as friends.
