Poseidon's Curse

Tumnus

"Who the fuck was that Teegan and how did he get your number" said Alyssa.

"I don't know who it was and I don't know how he got my number I just bought this phone like a week ago" said Teegan.

"Um I hate to interrupt, I know you guys are having an important conversation but can I see that phone real quick?" I said.

"Um sure, why do you need to see it?" said Teegan.

"I'm pretty sure they called from a blocked number, but what the caller doesn't know is that I'm really good at technology. So if i just push a couple buttons here and back track to where he can't trace us. Turn this switch on and open this, yep I found the location of the call. Do you know this place buy chance?" I said as I handed him the phone.

"I do actually this is an old abandoned Walmart a block away from where my little brother lives. How did you find out the location that's a true gift." said Teegan.

"Well thank you but I learned how to do that before I came to camp Half-Blood. In school my favorite class was computer programming. Funny story when I was 12 I hacked into the Presidential Pole and put myself in the race to be a president and I got 9% of the votes! You should have seen all the government officials come to my house and be so confused when they saw that a 12 year old hacked them. I couldn't stop laughing anyways. Back on subject, I could even find out his name if you give me a couple minutes." I said.

"Could you please" Teegan said as he handed the phone back to me.

It felt pretty cool to be needed, I may not have cool powers and I may not be a son of a really big God or Goddess but this was so cool. It felt amazing that something I was doing was really important and part of the plan. As soon as I got the phone I started tearing down the fire walls to everything the last thing we need is an interruption. Then I backtracked and covered up my steps don't want anyone to find me. Anyways, I downloaded a couple apps and with in 5 minutes I had his name.

"Ok so I have his name and a little bit of background information which one would you like to hear first?" I said.

"Start with his name and go from there" Alyssa said.

"Ok well his name is Polyethen (Pual-e-Ethan) apparently he  doesn't do much, he has been seen in the background of many photos but you can barely see him. One thing is for sure, he always wears the same clothes. A black trench coat, black shirt with a skull on it, black skinny jeans, and black high-tops. He must like black a lot. He looks really pale and has either really blonde hair or white hair I really can't tell. Oh here's an article about him, it says: LOCAL BOY CAUSED MASS MURDER? A local boy around the age of 12 has been seen at the place of each death/murder for years on years. Upon further inspection he has been the only witness and knows exactly the cause of death before the corner can say the cause of death. The child is now under heavy interrogation regarding these instances. The article ends there, I wonder what happens." I said.

"Well there is only one way to find out" said Alyssa "lets go meet this boy of misery."

"Can we not joke about death like that, if he really was the cause of all those deaths then I don't think any of us are safe" I said.

We drove in silence for the rest of the way, I wondered what everyone else was thinking. Alyssa had a smile on her face so what ever she was thinking of had to be pretty awesome. But Teegan had a look of worry, he was probably worried for his little brother. I mean I would be too, but all the half horses are jerks to me so I don't care what is happening. I wish I was better at reading people's emotions. Just as I thought that the was a really loud boom I looked over to my left and there was someone sitting there. Last time I checked I was alone in the backseat, I just looked out the window and convinced myself I was going crazy. 

Then he look at me and said "Hi I heard you had a wish to know emotions well I could help you with that. My name is Rick and I can grant you any wish you have" said Rick.

"So your a genie or something" I said.

"No I'm Rick and I can grant you any wish you have what can I help you with today?" Rick said.

"Well I guess If I could have one wish I would choose to be invisible whenever I wanted to be" I said, I really don't know why I said it other than it sounded cool at the time.

"Your wish is my command *SNAP* well that was great but now its time to go so thanks for your time" said Rick.

"Wait, how do I go invisible" I asked.

"Just think in your mind I want to be invisible and if you really believe it, it will happen. Bye" and just like he came Rick was gone in an instant.

"Wow that was awesome" I said.

"What was awesome" Alyssa said.

"Nothing" I said.

"Come on please tell us" said Alyssa.

So I told them everything that had happened in the last 2 minutes and I didn't skip a detail. After I told them everything Teegan spoke up and said.

"Wait you said he name was Rick and he granted your wish" said Teegan.

"Ummmm ya pretty much why?" I said.

"Well I'm guessing you are new to the outside world, basically what just happened is what we call a immortal scam. So here's what happens a God or Goddess will come and disguise themselves and say they can grant any wish and they do. But they always want something in return, now what did you say Rick looked like." Teegan said.

"Um he had brown curly hair, long face, blue eyes, had a beard, and wore all white." I said.

"I know that description from anywhere, that's my dad" said Alyssa.

"Well do you have any idea what he might want" I said.

"Probably money" said Alyssa.

"Money, I can do money. Um here's a fist full of coins, will this word Zeus" I said. Then the coins disappeared from my hands.

"That one was easy Tumnus but the next time this happens please be careful" said Teegan.

I really felt bad for that at first I was important and now I messed up. Man I wish I could stop messing up, maybe if I disappear things will be better.

"Annnnnnddd he's gone" said Alyssa.

It worked, thank the Gods this will come in handy I hope.
