Bitten (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Chapter 7: The Fates LOVE to Talk

Song: Decode (Unplugged) by Paramore

Percy P.O.V.

Percy couldn't believe it. If the fates hadn't showed it to me I wouldn't have.

My sister's mate abusive?!

He had never spoken to the Wolf, but wasn't the Mate bond supposed to prevent that?

Artemis said that mates couldn't hurt each other, so how could he?

I forgot that I was still in the presence of the Fates while contemplating different ways to kill him.

Or torture. That might work. No one hurts my family.

No one.

"Perseus, you can't kill him yet." Clotho said.

That startled me out of my plotting.

"Huh? Why not?"

"You are not yet strong enough. You haven't even tapped into the amount of power that you hold yet." Atropos reasoned.

"What are you talking about? I'm not exactly the most powerful being in the world." Percy replied. (Chaos story references)

"Of course not, young hero. But you do have abilities that you do not yet know of."

"What can I do?" I asked curiously.

"We will not tell you everything, but there are a few things that you should know of. First off, your original abilities have been increased greatly-which you have pretty much noticed. You have new abilities in that department as well, but it is best you discover those on your own. You have new abilities as a Wolf too."

"What are those?" I now had eyes the size of dinner plates.

"You can now transport at will to any pack member, huntress, or forested area. However, with your water abilities added to that you can also transport anywhere with a fresh or salt water source."

"Umm, awesome!"

"We are not even close to finished yet, child."

"Oh. Okay. Oops." He replied, embarrassed.

"You can camouflage yourself, thanks to Artemis and her hunting skills. Obviously you can turn into a wolf. Your senses have increased, along with your strength. I believe you have discovered that you can choose between your two eye colors. We'll explain those in a moment."

"Geez, anything else?" At this point I was just incredulous.

"Yes. If you allow us to bless you, you will have the ability to show people their fate and your memories."

"What?!? Why do you want to bless me, of all people?"

As one, they spoke again: "We have taken a liking to you. You are the only hero whose fate we can not see entirely. We do not know when you die, or even what you do after the next year. This way, we know. Also, it is ironically fate that we bless you."

"Don't you create fate?" I asked.

"That is a common misconception." The one all the way to the right said.

"We only deliver, foresee, and slightly alter fate. Someone with more power than us creates fate. Also, your decisions in life help to shape it. We are not in full control."

"Oh."

"Yes, so what do you say? Will you let us bless you?" she asked.

The fate on the left, Lachesis, spoke up at that. "Know that this is only a formality, and we will bless you whether you want it or not."

"Umm. Okay, I guess it's an honor."

"Good."

There was an awkward silence for a moment as they all stared at each other.

"Oh, we need to finish explaining things to you first. You will black out after we bless you, it is an insane amount of power to see fate." Atropos said.

"That is true, sister." Clotho added.

They all laughed.

Well, except Percy. He was kind of shell-shocked.

"Where were we with the explanations?" Lachesis asked.

"We just finished powers. All that is left is Alpha, his sister, Mate, and Eyes I believe." Center stated.

"Lets begin with eyes then. I like eyes." Clotho said.

"Fine. Eyes it is."

"You may have noticed Percy, that your eyes have more silver in them than any of the other Wolves. Solid I believe, which is insanely rare. The more silver that is in your eyes, the more power and authority you have. Solid has never actually happened before. No one should be able to hold your gaze longer than a few seconds with the exceptions of Artemis and your Mate." (Clotho.)

"Speaking of Mate," Center interrupted, "Krystal is not your True mate. She is supposed to be, but Aphrodite blessed you and that daughter of Athena without your knowledge. She will come back to you soon."

My jaw dropped.

Atropos then said, "Also, Louisa is your twin sister. We know that you do not fully trust Hera, but she spoke the truth. Also, your sister is in an abusive relationship with her mate. She will explain that to you, if you ask gently and with acceptance."

"Now, in order to complete your prophecy you will have to become Alpha of the pack. That will not be an issue, we're sure." Clotho said.

"Is that all sisters?"

"I hope so. I can't handle anything else!" Percy exclaimed.

They all laughed, and began the incantation to bless him.

I slowly blacked out, and faded into real life.

Thalia P.O.V.

I was staring to get worried about Percy. It's been hours since he passed out. Currently, the hunters and Artemis were all sitting in a circle around him, Wolves sitting their heads in our lives.

Suddenly, he sat up as though possessed, startling everyone surrounding him.

Percy stated, seemingly unaware that he was speaking, "I accept the blessing of the Three Fates. I will serve honorably, my ladies."

He jerked, and opened his eyes. They glowed golden. Slowly they faded to his natural solid silver color, causing the hunt to gasp in surprise. We didn't know his eyes were solid silver.

Percy blinked. "What'd I miss?"

Everyone stared at him as though he were a fresh kill.

Then everyone rushed up to hug him.

Well not me, I was getting my hand ready for an electric slap.
