Daughter of Artemis

Chapter four: the forbiden child

PERCY POV:

It's been two years since the war against Gaea. They have been the greatest two years of my life. I am a god and I have my true love by my side. I have great friends who will always be there for me. So far, the third great prophecy hasn't started and I have learnt more about these Egyptians. They are weird. But that does not matter. I was just walking home after a dinner at my moms house. It was a peaceful night apart from the screaming- wait where is the screaming coming from? I made a few corners and finally found the source of the noise. A hell hound was chasing a young girl. She must be a demigod I thought. She ran into an alley and I quickly followed. It was a dead end alley and the hound was about to pounce so I stabbed it.

"Hi I'm Percy Jackson".

DIANNA POV:

After the handsome stranger introduced himself, I just stood there.

"Hi" came my very delayed response.

"So this is extremely important, have you never met one of your parents? Do weird unexplainable things happen a lot? Do you have dyslexia or ADHD? And do you have any weird abilities?" he asked.

"Ummm. Yes, yes, yes and yes. Why are you asking me this?" I queried.

"Because I have a lot to explain" he responded. He sat on a crate and patted the seat next to him. I sat down cautiously and looked at him for an explination.

"Ok so, I'm just gonna rip the bandaid off as they say. Greek mythology is real, so are the gods and some times the the gods have kids with mortals. These kids are called demigods and you are a demigod." he finished. I'm a demigod! That is completely insane. I voiced my opinion.

"It's true and if you want proof, come to camp half blood with me. It is a training camp for heros. It's not that far from here." he said. What have I got to lose.

"Fine but on the the way you are doing more explaining." I said, trying to come to grips with what he is saying. He whistled and just stood there for a few seconds. When I asked what he was doing, he pointed at the sky. Coming towards us were two beautiful winged horses. One was all black and the other was grey with I white star on its forehead.

"Can I ride the black one?" I asked. I was seriously excited that what he said was real. But that means that my mom is a goddess!

"Sorry but Blackjack is my Pegasus. However I have never seen this Pegasus in my life and she says her name is Celeste and she is a gift from your mother, but she won't tell me who it is." he said with a frown on his face. Wait! Did he just say that Celeste talked to him. He must have recognized the look I was giving him and he said that he would explain it on the way.

So I listened to him telling the story as we flew. Wow. That was all I had to say. Wow. I can't believe he is only 19 and has saved the world that many times.
