War Of The Gods (Percy Jackson Fan Fiction)

A Good Friend

Percy's POV

"You thought I was perfect?" I asked. We were walking to cabin 3. Annabeth needed to talk to her cabin mates so me and Alex decided to talk.

"Well dad always describes you as a perfect son... A perfect leader... A perfect hero..."

"He did?"

"Well yeah... He usually tells stories about you... How you fought Kronos. How you retrieved the lightning bolt. How you stepped on his throne in the middle of the war...." Alex smiled.

"Wow... I never knew.." I said.

"You know what. I heard rumors, that Triton was jealous of you..." Alex laughed.

"No way.." I smiled.

"Way way..." She smiled. "Listen Percy... Dad didn't forget to tell you about me, neither did he purposely tried to hide me from you..."

"What?"

"I kind of asked him not to tell you about me... Sort of..." Alex said.

"Why?"

"The thing is... Well 4 years ago, my mom got sick... Really sick.. She has cancer..." She said.

"She went through a lot of pain and everyday, she screamed, she moaned. I was 10! I was scared..." She told me.

"Needless to say, we weren't rich at all.. She needed the money for chemo therapy and the hospital bills.."

"Until one day, this man showed up at the door..." She smiled. "Dad..."

"Well, your's at least... Mom was so happy to see him again.. He was a little different, yes, but she was still in love with him..."

"Dad offered to help... He wanted to pay for my school, my mom's hospital bills... And a lot others... He also told my mom that he will take care of me, to move with him for a while..."

"I didn't want to leave my mom... But even when I was 10... I knew if I stayed with her, I wouldn't be helping her, I'd be a burden..."

"So, he told me about him being Poseidon, while my dad is Neptune and he took me to his castle.. He gave me this...." She pulled out her sword. "And trained me.."

"Wait. So you were 10?" I asked.

"Yes, I was 10..." She said.

"It went on for like 1 year and my dad told me to go back to my mom..." She said.

"He told me that I would be safer, when I was in the mortal world..." She said.

"When you were 11, it was the Titan war... Dad's palace was attacked..." I said.

"Yeah... I knew that..." She smiled. "After the war, he took me back to his palace... Trained me for a bit... Until I saw him turn into Roman... My real dad..."

"For me, it wasn't that different... He still trained me.. And apparently he still talks about you the same... So nothing really changed..."

"One day, I heard the news... My mother died... She was already dead..." She said. I saw her teared up. "I was mad at him. I was mad at myself. I was mad at the world."

"He took me to his palace, yes to train with him, but more likely so I don't have to say goodbye to my mom. What he didn't know is, goodbye is the one thing that I wanted to do..." She said as tears stroll down her face.

"I told him that I hated him... I wished that he would at least let me say goodbye. I told him I've had enough of this world.. HIS world.. I don't care if I'm a demigod or if my dad was one of the big 3, I vowed to myself to not get sucked in this world." She said.
