Frozen Screams (Chaos' Son #2)

[1] - Memories

"I remember." I said. A smile rose on all their faces. Leo, Frank, Jason, Hazel, Piper, and...Annabeth. I remembered each and every one of them. Here the 7 of us sat in the living room of my parent's mansion. The housekeepers were trying to clean up the mess that Frank made. Frank repeatedly apologized to me and the housekeepers to which we brushed off. 

"Dude! We heard of you a million times on the news. We thought it was a coincidence, but Annabeth darling here kept whining that we had to check! And here you are!" Leo exclaimed and bro-hugged me. I laughed and looked at Annabeth who was blushing. She took a pillow and smacked Leo with it. 

"Owww! Hey! Annabeth, don't deny it. Percy, ask anyone here. There were all there!" Leo yelled and pointed at the rest. Everyone else suddenly had an extreme interest in the architecture of my mansion. I busted out laughing. "Guys! Support me!" 

"One rule I learnt in my life." Piper said, then looked to Hazel.

"Never mess with Annabeth." Hazel completed with a proud look on her face. Annabeth had an even prouder expression to which I chuckled. 

Frank opened his mouth as if to start saying something, but then Jason interrupted.

"Dude! Tell us what happened! Percy Jackson, son of Ivory Jackson, a goddamn model, and Beckett Jackson, a freaking worldwide known actor! How's it been going?" Jason blurted excitedly. He gave me a huge expectant smile to which I shrugged.

"It's not as glamorous as it sounds. I mean, I guess it's pretty cool and all, but still y'know. Kinda tough." I replied. Frank started to open his mouth again, but this time Piper interrupted.

"Welcome to my world!" Piper said as she threw her hands in the air with exasperation and plunked backwards into the sofa. 

"Hey, aren't we immortal or something?" I inquired. Everyone shared a glance and looked back at me. 

"Umm...Percy. Since you died and came back to life, Chaos' son or not, your immortality was revoked. It's a rule of death. And since we all knew that, we requested the gods to permanently revoke our immortality, because if you died in this life, we decided, that we would die with you." 

Silence.

I stared at all of them with my mouth hung open in shock. They would do that for me?

"You guys are the best." I said with a genuine smile. Frank opened his mouth again to say something but was interrupted by Leo.

"Yeah we know." Leo said in a high-pitched voice and flipped his non-existent long hair. All of us laughed except Frank who was burning in fury.

"WILL YOU PEOPLE LET THE ASIAN CANADIAN SPEAK?!" Frank screamed. There was a second of silence before we all busted into laughter. Even Frank cracked a grin, reluctantly.

These guys...were my family.
