Percy's {P.O.V}

Is it just me, or is Artemis acting weird around me nowadays? She kept glancing at me during breakfast all the time, and when I sometimes caught her gaze on me, she quickly turned her head the other way.

I could have even sworn that her cheeks were painted with a tint of pink when she did that.

I stood deep in thought, while I washed the dishes, because apparently it was my turn to do so for a whole week. Which I found unfair because I just got to the hunters camp yesterday.

I scrubbed another plate with a damp cloth, before I rinsed the plate and I put it on the pile of plates next to me, which were the plates that I already washed and I would then have to dry them later.

I quickly got another dirty plate, and I scrubbed, rinsed and put it to the side. I just kept doing the same cleaning pattern with the other dirty plates.

My thoughts went back to the flashback of the memory I had last night during my dream.

What really happened to Gaia? That question stayed in my head, and I couldn't find a way to either forget it, or answer it.

'How do I know that you are not tricking me?' My words rang out in my head, and they seemed so clear as if I just said them out loud, which I was sure I didn't.

I then heard the words of my great grandmother. 'Because I swear this on my own name that I am not. I never meant to do any of this, at least not this side of me.' I still saw her true smile that she put on her face that day.

'This side of me'... Those words kept nagging me, and they kept repeating themselves in my head, waiting for me to find out what they meant.

'You mean you have two sides? Like gods have Greek/Roman?' Those words that I said made sense, well, kind of.

What if Gaia had another personality? The evil earth mother, and my caring great grandmother... what if those were Gaia's good and bad side?

'Yes, but I can not tell you more for now, my great grandson.' Tears appeared in my eyes again as I heard her say these words once more.

I quickly shook my head, and shut my eyes tightly, successfully keeping the tears from falling down my face.

But as much as I scrubbed and rinsed the plates - as the warm water in the sink, that I have been cleaning the plates in, which was in the kitchen tent, splashed against my hands - I couldn't get rid of my thoughts, as I sunk even deeper into them.

Two sides... two personalities... one person? I'm pretty sure Gaia was one person only, who was struggling to... get control of her own body.

It was as if a power equal to her's, or even stronger was fighting her from the inside for control.

Being stuck in a body with the opposite side of you? Sounds kind of like a... a curse.

The second I thought about the word 'curse' I wished that I didn't as my thoughts went back to 'the curse'.

~ Flashback ~

My memory self was walking to the Throne room doors after beings summoned to Olympus for like the third time that week.

This was about a year and a half after the Giant war and my unusual encounter with Gaia.

Can't the gods leave me alone for at least a month? Now that I hear my thoughts again, I can't help but sigh mentally as I remember the events that are about to unfold before me.
