Fallen Protector [Percy Jackson Fanfiction] [In HAITUS]

Chapter 3: Meeting

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

CHAOS

It has been a month now since young Perseus regained consciousness. A month of not talking, a month of not eating. And one month of just staring at nothing. I am slowly losing hope. Maybe, he wasn't meant to heal. Maybe, I hoped for too much. The boy had gone through things and I can't blame him for being the way he is.

I propped myself at the chair behind my desk. I was currently at my office, sorting out files and problems of the universe as usual. After a moment of just me staring at the file in my hand. I finally gave up and threw the file down before leaning back while sighing "Problems?" A voice asked from the door way, making me look up and see that it was just my grandchild

I rubbed my eyes tiredly "Not now" I muttered

My grandchild just rolled his eyes at me. Pushing his self off the wall, he stalked towards me "You know, it will be a load off if you just let it all out. Keeping your problems in will just make you more depressed than you are now"

I just sighed and didn't respond. I don't have the time to deal with his bullshit right now. I'm still searching for a way to make Perseus come out of his shell. "Is this about the person you've been hiding from us?" He asked, making me freeze over from picking up the file that I threw at the table. How did he know that?

Noticing my tense posture, he snorted "You didn't think that you can let some stranger live in the palace for a month without anyone knowing, did you?"

When I didn't respond again, he just sighed "Why are you hiding this stranger anyway? Is he some sort of criminal that you have grew fond of? A vigilante that doesn't want anyone knowing he exist?"

I shook my head at him, a clear warning in my eyes to not dig any further than this. "Drop it"

He snorted and stared back at me, clear defiance in his eyes. "No"

I gritted my teeth in frustration. I love the boy, but sometimes he just knows how to push my buttons "I am not going to repeat myself more than this. DROP.IT"

He just huffed and crossed his arms "Why are you trying so hard to avoid the inevitable? Sooner or later, we'll know who it is"

I glared at him and he glared back. I sighed and broke our staring contest. I have spoiled him too much, and he's becoming more and more of an asshole. Although, him being like this is more acceptable than what he was like in the past. "Kronos. I'm not in the mood"

Kronos huffed again and keep glaring "Why won't you tell me who it is? You've never been this secretive before"

"Kronos, when I said drop it, you drop it. Don't stick your nose in my business anymore. Got it?" I snapped, making his eyes widen with surprise. I have never snapped at him before, much less argue with him. But if it concerns Perseus, then that is a whole other subject

"Just tell me why" He insisted, making me sigh in defeat. This boy is so stubborn at times, that I sometimes find myself asking where he got it from

"If I tell you the reason why I am hiding this person. Would you leave this subject alone?" I asked, already knowing his answer before he says it

"Of course not" He huffed. I raised a brow and smirked at him "Then you can kiss your information goodbye" I stated, before picking up a document and reading it. Completely ignoring his very existence in my office room

I heard him release a frustrated breath, making me want to smirk but refrain from doing so. Kronos may be one of the youngest in her lines of grandchildren, but he was a seeker of knowledge. Hence why he defeated my obnoxious son and brought him down a notch. Just remembering the seething and humiliated look on my son's face made me smirk a bit.
