vi. she can kill with her smile
she can wound with her eyesTHE NEXT DAY, PERCY WOKE UP WITH a jolt after his nightmare. When he looked around, he noticed that the boy from yesterday, Luke, was watching.
He scrambled up, feeling the embarrassment flush over him as he realised that everyone had seen his moment.
"You alright?" Luke asked, holding a hand out and helping the boy up.
"Super," he said sarcastically, brushing his hands on his clothes.
"We all have them you know. Intense recurring nightmares. And the daydreams, and the ADHD and dyslexia. Demigods just process things differently," he explained.
Percy instantly felt at ease with this boy but was still unsure whether Daisy trusted him or not. If he did, then he knew he was okay.
"So are you also?" Percy tried to ask him whether he had a parent or not here, but didn't know how to phrase it, "Do you not know who-"
He chuckled a littl at the boys confusion, "Am I unclaimed? No, Hermes is my father but that doesn't matter. We're all on the same team here,"
Percy scoffed. There was this anger bubbling up inside of him at the unfairness of the way that the gods could just ignore their children.
"Why is that okay? Why do they bring us here to ignore some of us?" He questioned.
Lukes face lit up. This was perfect. Percy was perfect and his raw hatred to the Gods was going to help his cause more than he knew.
"If you spend too much time trying to figure out why the Gods do whay they do and you'll drive yourself mad," he said, a smile on his face.
They were silent for a second, neither knew what to do. Percy was supposed to have his tour but his your guide had not yet arrived.
"Luckily you got here for summer which means our resident newby helper is back here to visit," Luke explained, "We'll show you around and tell you what camp has to offer,"
"What's that?" He asked, still not sure what the purpose of camp was or what he could gain from it.
That smirk grew on Lukes face again, "Glory,"
Percy let that sink in for a second, wondering how a camp could bring him glory before he realised that someone was going to be helping Luke to show him around, "Who will be leading us round?"
"She was the medic who looked after you, Desdemona Valance. Most beautiful woman in all of New York," he said with a lovesick expression.
Percys face scrunched up in confusion. He had noticed some tension between them and had assumed it was anger, maybe it wad just love.
"She didn't seem like she liked you too much yesterday," he said, folding his arms across his chest.
He laughed, finding it funny that Percy thought that, "Don't you worry kid, she likes me plenty," he promised.
