Protector

Chapter 14

Percy

You could say that coming out of a nightmare is always a relief. For most people at least. You get saved from the vampire or falling into a pit of doom and come back to the real world, in your warm bed, where nothing can hurt you. You get saved. 

My nightmares aren't the same. When I wake up, I always get reminded that it did happen, that it was real, that I will never be the same. Not without her, not without them. You think that with how many years, I have been away from this wretched planet I would feel better about my mother's death, the betrayal, all of it, but somehow, it just doesn't go away. Believe me, I tried, so when I woke up with tears running down my face, it wasn't really a surprise. The surprise was the three concerned faces that were looking down at me. 

Harry was the first to speak, "Are...are you okay." He couldn't keep the stutter out of his voice and I knew why. Everyone who saw me in the middle of my nightmare always did the same exact thing.

Slowly getting into a sitting position, I responded."Yeah, I'm fine. What are you guys doing here."

Hermione jumped at the opportunity to talk. 

"I don't want you to think that we are invading your privacy, but the boys found you asleep crying and screaming. I guess they didn't know what to do, so they got me... we really are sorry."

"It's fine Hermione, I knew this would happen sooner or later, I just didn't believe it would be so soon."

Finally getting enough courage to speak up, Ron quickly added, "We were going to prank you because we didn't think you deserved to be head boy. I'm not saying that we are wrong or anything, but maybe you have some stuff you need to explain to us."

"Yeah, like are you really a prince? And what in the world is an Omega?"

"I'll answer all of your questions if you tell me how you found that information."

"Well, the Marauder's Map of course." Harry showed me the piece of paper in his hands. "It is a map of the school that shows every passage and every person in the school, and there exact location. That's how we knew where to find you. Next to your name though it said Prince Omega."

Taking a few seconds I thought of the consequences that would come if I told them when I didn't get father's concent. Telling one person was one thing, telling three was a whole other story. But at the same time, if I tell Harry, I'm one step closer to gaining his full trust. Making my decition, I took a deep breath and said, "My name is Prince Omega, and I am the prince of the universe." Snapping my fingers, my crown appeared on my head. "For you to understand all of my story, I need to know one thing. Do you know Greek Mythology?"

.

After 3 hours of sitting in my room explaining my past to Harry and Ron, I was really getting tired of their dumbfounded expressions. Maybe it wasn't all that good of an idea to tell them everything...

"Wait, so you are telling me that the goodess of beauty blessed you with super good looks? No wonder your so hot, wait, I meant that girls think your hot, not me."

"Ron, is that the only thing you managed to take in from his whole story?"

"No, I know that he is also the prince of the Universe, that he got disowned by Posidean, but then adopted by Chaos."

"Wow, you actually knew a lot more than what I thought you would know."

"Hey, I'm smart!"

While Hermione and Ron were debating whether Ron was or wasn't smart, Harry was staring at the wall.

"How do we know that yu are not lying to us? You could have made up this story trying to get closer to me, just to kill me. How do I know I can trust you?"

Pulling riptide from my pajama pants jacket, showed it to Harry and said, "Because of this."

"A pen, your telling me to believe you because you have a pen. I know we don't use pens hear at Hogwarts, but we are not stupid."

"It's not just a pen," taking off the cap, I removed the mist in the air so that they would be able to see the sword. "It's a pretty deadly weapon aswell."

"Woah, can I hold it?" Not paying attention to Hermione anymore, Ron raced over to look at riptide.

"Sure, but be very careful. I don't know how many monsters and evil people I killed with that thing."

"When did you get this?"

"Posidean gave it to me when I was 12. For some reason I was never able to destoy or throw it away. I believe that it was because it was one of the only stable things in my life."

"So you have had the same sword for most of your life?"

"Kind of, the base of it is the same. One of my bestfriends, Leo, has made a few changes. He added new metals allowing it to kill all soecies of the universe as well as made able to change into any color when in pen form."

"That is so cool!" Now Ron was swinging around riptide like he was trying to hit a pinata blindfolded. Did he not just hear how dangerous it was. Stopping time before he could cut someone's head off, I took riptide from his hands and put it into pen form before unfreezing time.

"Wait, where did the sword go?" Ron began looking around not knowing that I took the sword from him.

"I took it from you."

"How, I didn't see anthing?"

"I stopped time. No offence or anything, but I really thought you were going to hurt someone."

"You can sto time!"

"I told you guys, any powers I can dream of..." Turning to the window, I saw the sun starting to rise. "Guys, I think you should start heading back to your room, I don't want others to wake up and you to be gone."

"He's right boys. We should go. Will we see you at breakfest."

"For sure." The golden trio were shuffling out of the room when I remembered one last thing, "Shoot, I forgot. You guys have to promise to not tell anyone anything about what I just told you guys."

They looked at eachother before looking back at me and in unison said, "We promise."
