The Ultimate Weapon (Percy Jackson Love Story)

Chapter 3: Truth be told...

~~Clementine's POV~~

"Chiron what's going on? Why did you bring me here?" I ask in confusion as he looks through the many shelves.

"The journal... where is it?" He scans the many books and he stops at one book with his eyes flashing in recognition. "Ahhh. Here we go." He grabs the book out and opens it to the last page. "This is how you were made. Read the last page."

"Chiron I already know how you make a child. You stick a mans co--" I am cut off by his eyes bulging and he places his hand on my mouth to get me to shut up.

"No! Not that! I meant you were turned into a demigod by an old spell that was only ever used once. And it was on you. Just read the last page." He pleaded. I sigh and start from the top of the page:

June 1st 1997,

Athena found the spell to make an ordinary mundane child into a demigod. Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite and I all met in the study hall for a private meeting for just the six of us. Athena's daughters fahers wife just had a child and she doesn't want the child so she gave the child to us  right off the bat. Everything was almost ready. Until Athena mentioned something.

She said that if we did this, a curse would be placed on the child. I couldn't handle a poor girl being hurt or tortured. But, that just made Zeus and Hades more interested in the conversation. Poseidon was the same as me. A total softie.

We had ageed that Ares would help train the girl and Apollo would help me raise the child up to her fifth birthday then we would wash out her memories except for one single memory then we would take her to the orphanage and Chiron would adopt her when she turned 8.

I just wish everything would go well with this and the curse wouldn't be placed on her but anything is possible. Athena had said we shall do it tomorrow. The whole meeting, I just silently prayed that the curse would be lifted.

By the time I was done reading, my eyes were closed with a single tear sliding down my face. I took a heavy breath.

No, no crying. Don't you dare cry! Not in front of other people, I pleaded in my head.

"So I'm just a plain mundane on the inside? I'm not a real demigod? I...I'm just a weapon to them? Something they can use?!" I yell out the last sentence. Chiron noticed my urge to cry and pulled me in for a hug.

"I'm sorry. I know you're mad. You have every right to be! But just think what you would be now if they hadn't agreed to do this! You would be a wannabee teenager at a normal highschool with a mother and father who could care less about you!" I almost broke down and apologized. Key word: Almost.

"They are using me, Chiron! I know what you said was true but they are using me for their own good! And let me mention the fact that I'm pretty much Annabeth's younger half-sister! The girl hates me, Chiron!" I yell with the red in my eyes glowing like fire. Chiron noticed my change in eye colour and he grabbed the sides of my face as he examined my eyes. I calmed down and stared at him with confusion as my eyes change back to their origional colour.

"Oh dear. It's happening. Oh dear..." He mumbles as he takes my arm and pulls me out of the Hall of Gods and away from the journal. Chiron leads me into the weaponery where he pulls out a match and lights a candle. The blazing, smoking fire meets my eyes and my eyes turn red again. I stare at it in a whole new light and I put my hand over the flame as it moves to the top of my palm. Sparks flew from the fire and I squeeze my eyes shut but when I open them back open, the fire has circled my hand like a bandage and turns into a black colour. Chiron reaches his hand ontop of mine and his hand burns at my touch. He quickly jumps away from the impact but I squeeze his hand and he calms down as the burning sensation disappears. Chiron runs to the other side of the room and grabs a bowl and some water. "Clementine, I need you to close your eyes and think that the fire is disappearing and flying back to the candle. Ok?"
