The Return of Evil | A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

=6= PERCY LEARNS MATH

[A/N: Hi! XD Sorry for not updating- but hey, I've got to enjoy my holiday! :P Anyway...

This chapter is dedicated to:

Kittys_Stories (again)

For- No, I can't say. You'll see... MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Also, before you read the chapter, I just have to say that I have nothing against Ed Sheeran. It was stuck in my head :D]

=PERCY'S POV=

Voices. Oh gods. They're coming this way. I had seriously hoped that nobody would come back to Zeus' Fist. I mean, why go back to somewhere you already looked? But as usual, my luck never held. I just hoped that they wouldn't start climbing the trees, although, you never know. When you're a demigod, anything can happen.

I glanced down. It was the Athena kids. Of course it would be them; of course the smartest cabin in camp would be right where I was hiding- well, only a few meters below where I was hiding. Close enough.

"Do you think he's around here?"

"I don't know Michael, Annabeth did say that they already looked here."

Please don't decide to stay and look around. Please don't decide to stay and look around.

"Well, let's just stay and scan the area anyway."

I opened my mouth to groan, but quickly clamped my hand over it. That was close I thought. One wrong move and it'll be all over.

I turned my gaze towards the ground again and found that the Athena campers were already deep into their search. Looking behind bushes, trees - anything that might be a potential hiding spot. Thinking about it, this was all like a giant game of hide and seek. Except that it was only me, against the whole camp.

As I waited for them to leave, I started to absentmindedly, very quietly, hum the tune of 'Thinking Out Loud.' It wasn't my favorite song, but it was stuck in my head. Yesterday evening at the campfire, every time we tried to sing a song, Leo would interrupt us by singing the chorus from it. I had felt like smacking his face and giving him my worse death glare. And believe me, campers had fainted from that. I wasn't that scary... Was I? Anyway, I wasn't worried about anybody hearing me; nobody could, unless they were within a 1 meter hearing range.

"I guess he's not here."

"Are you sure Sierra?"

"Yeah, we checked everywhere, where else could he-" Sierra stopped abruptly.

"What is it?" Michael whispered.

All the Athena campers glanced around warily.

"Sierra?"

"Do you hear that?"

I stopped humming. No way in Hades could she hear that. There was no way- I almost smacked my forehead right there and then. How could I have been so stupid?

Sierra's dad was a highly trained bird watcher [A/N: Yeah... That's all I could think of] ; he could hear birds chirping from, well- almost anywhere within a short distance. Especially, birds chirping in trees. All of those skills must have been passed down to Sierra, plus being a daughter of Athena- she could probably be the best bird watcher in America! Hearing a stupid Percy Jackson humming a stupid song a few meters above her was like child's play. She would catch me in minutes. 

DAM, DAM, DAM, DAM, DAM!!! Curse you Ed Sheeran! I never wanted to learn Math! Especially when the equation is: Leo+Ed Sheeran= STUPID PERCY
