Please Just Stop

Chapter 4

Annabeth POV:

Percy ran off without any explanation. Why couldn't he take off his shirt? It couldn't be that bad could it? I questioned myself. Me and the others decided to chase after him. We racedafter him and saw him enter the Poseidon cabin. We tried to open the door. Of course it was locked. I knocked on the door slightly. No answer. "Percy?" I asked, "Could you let us in please?". We started hearing screaming and it sounded like someone was crying in there.

"Break down the door?" Leo considered.

"Break down the door."

The Leo broke the door down.

Percy shot up from his bed immediately. His face was puffy and his eyes looked red. He seemed surprised to see us. "Oh... Hey guys.." Percy put on smile that was obviously fake. "Seaweed brain, What were you doing?" I asked, getting straight down to bussniness. "Your beds all messed up," Jason pointed out, "And it looks like you were crying, and we heard screaming from the inside".

"Oh..." Percy put a fake surprised face, "You know... Nightmares... But they're not that bad trust me!". I sighed in annoyance, "Seriously Seaweed brain-" I started. Suddenly a bright light flashed all around us.

-----Line break-----

I reopened my eyes a second later, immediately I knew where we where. Olympus. "Percy Jackson," Zeus voice echoed around the room, "We have discovered that you have held secrets about your past,". Secrets? About Percy's Past? That can't be true... He had a great past didn't he? With Paul and Sally...

"Secrets? I don't have any secrets... I'm an open book!" Percy laughed nervously. Zeus raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" He suspiciously looked at Percy, "Then we'll see... Apollo.". Apollo hesitantly breathed before speaking. "Are you sure about this father?" Apollo pleaded, "Maybe we can try persuading him to tell?". "Nope." Zeus confirmed, "Now go do it.".

Apollo turned in small version (or whatever you wanna call it). And started to approach Percy. "No, no, please Apollo!" Percy backed away a bit. I looked in amusement, I hadn't seen Percy this scared before. "Please, please, I've had a good past I can assure you that!". I saw several of the gods looking away from the scene. "Father, please, please, make Apollo stop!" Percy pleaded, tears now streaming down his face.

"I'm sorry son." Then Poseidon looked away.

Apollo touched Percy's forehead. As soon as that happened Percy passed out and curled up into a ball.
The memories started playing.

------Line Break------

The kids were laughing all around him. Making fun of Percy. "Hey-"  Robert spoke between wheezes of laughter "Hey Percy- How- about- You- Spell- Brain-". Percy trembled, he didn't want to be made fun of like this, he didn't want to be humiliated. "B-R-I-E-N" Percy said weakly. That sent the group into another fit of laughter. Tears threatened to spill out of Percy's eyes.

"Hey, Percy!" A person yelled from the crowd, "Spell Mississippi!". Tears started falling out of Percy's eyes. "I- I don't w- want t-to," He cried. "Oh seriously?" Another person spoke, "Jeez Percy! You're no fun!". The tears started falling more rapidly now. "Hey! Stop that!" A person came pushing though the crowd.

"Cordelia! Why're you sticking up for that stupid Mutt?" Robert teased her. "Because Goonery" Cordelia growled at him, "The stupidest thing you can do right now is bully him!". She knelt beside Percy. "Hey nice to meet you!" She greeted him, "Names Cordelia, what's yours?". "I-Im P-Percy," Percy stuttered.

"Nice name!" Cordelia laughed, "You don't have many friends correct?". Percy nodded sadly. Cordelia sighed. "Then wanna be freinds?" Cordelia asked him. Percy smiled for once, "Yes!" He laughed.

------Line break------

"The next memories can't be that bad right?" I laughed nervously, Percy had Cordelia, The next memories couldn't be that bad. Oh how wrong I was.
