The Child That Changed Everyone

Lost at Sea

Ha! Two chapters in 1 day, I swear I will finish this one, it will be done that's the goal.

(Loki's POV)

How in Asgard did we stay at that ice cream shop for that long, and why in Odins name was traffic so bad that it took 2 hours to get home? Now I have a sleeping demigod and a big sleeping oaf of a god in my backseat. As an insomniac and a god, I don't get much sleep though at some point I'm bound to crash, as in the past week I may have gotten only 5 hours of sleep. I am starting to feel that crash now.

I opened Thors door landing a quick and hard punch to his shoulder, "wake up you oaf." I yelled softly into my adoptive brother's ear. He got startled and slammed his head on the ceiling of the car. I covered his mouth to muffle his screams until he settled.

"Brother where are we, this does not look like Asgard, oh wait we are in the Tower." My hand hit my head; he really is an oaf.

"Go to bed Thor clearly you are confused and drunk off lack of sleep." Look he's even stumbling to the elevator. Am I the only practical adult here?

Moving my way to the sleeping demigod on the other side, trying my best to stay quiet so she can keep on sleeping. I softly opened the door making quick work of the seat belt. Now the hard part is getting her out. Actually, I could just do this. I snapped my finger. A thin green layer of light outlined her sleeping form. She smiled in her sleep it must be warming her up, the small girl floated, still sound asleep, into my arms.

Once the spell warn off and the green light was gone, she whimpered like a hurt puppy in her sleep. "I know my Asgardian angel; I'm so mean for letting it ware off." I held her nice and close. She's the one making my heat beat now.

Up in the tower it was completely black, I welcomed the darkness with open arms, why fear something when the things that lurk are your friends. The unlit place was no place though for the little one resting against my chest. My eyes not needing the light to see, I was able to move quickly through the hallways and to my room.

The darkness filled my room, and the light would definitely wake the sleeping child. I searched for something, finally finding a candle. I snapped it ablaze, it gave just enough light to cut through the thick, pitch black. quickly putting her in some pajamas, she'll just have to brush her teeth extra well tomorrow, why bother such a peaceful face.

Earlier, something changed in her. She grew melancholy and I don't know if it was from my attitude about the whole car seat ordeal, or if something else was bothering little Persephone. The sweet child never deserves to be upset.

I stepped out to get myself ready, getting on pj's and brushing my hair and teeth. Though after a couple minutes I heard a small crash and a child's voice. Peaking my head out of the bathroom I saw Percy stopping out a small flame on the floor. I was stunned for a moment. Unable to move. Before I could act a small ball of glowing water formed over her flailing hands dropping onto the blaze making it simmer away.

"Persephone." I wrapped her in my arms, finally finding my feet, "yell if there is ever a fire, I will deal with it, don't ever deal with it. I know you have powers, but you are a child, so they are not in your control and are extremely dangerous." I squeezed the 6-year-old so tight; I was so scared of losing her. A fire of protectiveness blazed in me now. I have someone to protect I was given a purpose in life. Percy is that purpose.

"I'm sorry daddy, I didn't want you to be mad, just I, I wanted to touch the fire and well before I touched It, something made it fly off the table." She muttered her words.

"That was for the better dear we I will start to do something about this impulsiveness soon ladybug we will get it under control." I pulled her arm's length away and kissed her head.

"How about you go brush your teeth, make them nice and clean." She scampered into the bathroom shutting the door with a quiet click.

The floor was damp and singed from the small fire. I spelled it away making sure there was nothing left, just the memories of it. I found where the light source had rolled off and placed it in the drawer. She is too impulsive for her own good, but I know that, that comes from her being a demigod. I have to figure out a way for her to get it under control before she winds up dead from it. Persephone Achillies Jackson, an immensely powerful daughter of Poseidon. I can tell that her father is doing everything he can to hide her. Probably without his brother knowing. He's hiding her aura keeping it from flaring from growing if anything she will be as strong as a minor god by the age of twelve and the king of Olympus will start to get nervous.

"I'm done Loki." My heart cried at the loss from her calling me her father, but I will not push.

"Nice and pearly white dear, very beautiful." Her smile beamed but her eyes drooped with exhaustion. "Now off to bed." She made no movement to her twin sized bed that was at the foot of mine. A fearful look ignited into her sea green irises.

"Can I sleep with you, it's scary alone." Her eyes pleaded at the floor, and her voice filled with desperation.

"You may join me ladybug." A small smile is what she gave before jumping in next to me. though she lay awake.

"Loki where is my dad." Her voice filled with sadness. That came out of nowhere. I was not expecting this question.

"Hopefully he is dead in a pit." Her little eyes widened.

"Not my stepdad. My real dad." She went numb, her expression turning off. "My mom said he was lost at sea, not dead just lost." her words quivered.

"Percy she is right, he is lost, but he is doing everything to get to you angel, he would kill for you, he is protecting you from afar. He loves you Persephone, he just can't be next to you." Melancholy still filled her.

"How do you know." How do I answer this question without saying that I met him, if only for a brief moment?

"Persephone I am a god, I have a hunch, I can feel him in you, loving from afar. You will meet him one day Percy, but today is not the day. Now sleep well ladybug." I kissed her hair; she was already half asleep.

"Goodnight daddy."
