Reincarnation - Percy Jackson Fanfic

6: I talk to some fish...

Percy’s PoV:

“C’mon guys! It’s time to descend to your doom!!” Leo says with mock cheerfulness. I knew that Annabeth was worried but I had no idea why. Maybe something happened at home? Had her mom told her something? I guess I’ll ask her after the fight with Gaea.

“Ok, we need to decide upon one plan, and find where exactly Gaea is situated,” says Annabeth.

“We could always just buy the pills,” Leo says hopefully. Annabeth sighs in exasperation.

“Ugh, fine Leo and Jason will go buy some pills and I’ll tag along to make sure that you guys don’t do something stupid and…”

“Hold on, you’re saying that us guys can’t do something without a… babysitter?” I stare accusingly at her.

“Well you know what they say, better safe than sorry, especially when we got flame boy around.” Everybody laughs at Leo.

“Hey! It’s not funny!”

“You’re right it’s not its hilarious!” snorts Frank, and everyone laughs harder.

“Ok… and Piper and learn a lullaby,” Annabeth tells them after we’ve stopped laughing.

“Oooh.. I know a lullaby I’ll teach it her,” says Hazel.

“I’ll just hang out with Hazel,” Frank shrugs.

“I’m not sure that the lullaby thing is going to work…” Piper starts uneasily.

“It’s worth a shot!”

“Ok fine, whatever you say Your Majesty, Queen Annabeth,” grumbles Piper. Annabeth is looking smug. I guess she likes being called a queen.

“Ok, and Percy, you should just…”

“Yeah, go bond with the animals in the ocean. You know I might actually get a good piece of gossip this time. Always its just stuff like ‘The fish next door stole my seaweed curtains’ or something,” I say tiredly. Seriously, all the fish in the sea have really bad gossip.  Everyone is staring at me like I grew horns.

“What? It’s true…” I grumble.

“That wasn’t exactly what I was thinking… I was thinking that you maybe could find out where Gaea is so we could go there,” Annabeth says slowly.

“Oh… well anyway bye guys!” I wave to them and dive right in. I’m looking around for some fish that might have any idea where we could find the oldest goddess on earth when…

‘Oh, master! Can you please help me sir?’ says a young fish in my mind.

‘Sure, what can I do for you?’

‘Well, you see I heard that you have magic water healing powers is that true?’ How did he find that out?

‘Yes I do… what can I help you with?’

‘My name’s Nemo sir by the way, and my granddad fish is really sick, I was hoping you could heal him, sir’

‘Ok, I’ll help you, Nemo,’

‘Oh thank you! Thank you master!’ I follow him into a small anemone where he says that his granddad is resting in. When I see him I can tell he’s really sick. I feel water flow through my hand to the old fish. ‘Heal,’ I thought, ‘Heal, heal, heal…’ When I stopped I realized I wasn’t drained like I usually was. I guess the water gave me energy.

‘Thank you, Son of the Sea Master, for healing me. In return I will grant you one favor.’ Hmmm… what could I ask him? That’s when it hit me.

‘Do you know where Gaea and her armies are situated?’

‘Yes, I do master.’ He then told me the name of a street (A/N sorry I don’t know any streets in Greece!!)

‘Thank you!’ I tell them smiling. I don’t even bother to think how a fish could know the name of a street. I swim up to the surface and remember my promise from this morning. I create a mist in the air and throw a drachma in while saying, “O, Iris goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Sally Jackson.” My mom is in the kitchen cooking pasta. She has a sad look on her face.

“Mom?” She turns around and stares at me like I’m a monster.

“Percy is it really you?”

“Yes it’s me mom.”

“Ohmygodswherehaveyoubeenforthepastmonths?DidyouknowhowworriedIwas?IthoughtyouweredeadPercy!!Whydidn’tyoumessagebefore?Toocaughtuptotalktoyyourownmom?”

“Whoa, mom calm down. Look I’m so sorry I didn’t call before but it was because I fell into Tartarus.” The last part came out in a sort of whisper.

“Speak up, Percy!”

“I. Fell. Into. Tartarus,” I say through gritted teeth trying not to fall into a flashback.

“Perseus Jackson. DID YOU JUST SAY THAT YOU FELL INTO HELL ITSELF AND I WASN’T INFORMED??!!!!” I flinch back knowing that when I get home she’ll gut me alive.

“I’m so sorry but I just did it for Annabeth!!” at this point she seemed to have calmed down a little. “And if we’d told you, you would have been grief-stricken!!”

“You did that for Annabeth?”

“Yeah, she was going to fall so I grabbed her hand we slipped off I managed to find another ledge and…”

“Instead of letting me go and saving himself he fell in with me.”

I realize that everyone was already back and staring at the IM.

“Oh…ok,” my mom says slowly.

“Well it was nice talking to you mom! I’m really sorry but I got to go now!!”

“Saving the world again, Perseus Jackson? Stay safe!!”

“As safe as I’ll ever be! Bye now!!” I wave frantically through the message breaking the connection.

“Get your butt up here, Jackson” Annabeth tells me.

“Ok, now I know that something’s wrong. So tell me, what’s wrong?”

“There’s not one single person in the entire city. Not one.”

“Wow…” I breathe out. “Oh and yeah, I found out where we got to go.” I tell them the name of the street.

“That’s not far from here. I saw that road on our way to the pharmacy. There was something spooky about it so we skipped it,” says Leo.

“Let’s go.”

When we arrive we look down the street and immediately find what we’re looking for. It’s an old, rusty warehouse that would be a perfect cover to hide about a whole monster army.

“You guys ready?” Annabeth asks.

“As ready as I’ll ever be, “I mumble, uncapping Riptide.

“Ok on the count of three, 1…2…3!” she shouts.

What we see inside makes us all gasp.
