Percy Jackson: Change.

8#: Po-sad-ion

~"Silence" by Marshmello ft. Khalid up there! Enjoy~

I had been staring at my pizza for at least seven minutes. I wasn't hungry.

After seeing the statue, my mouth tasted something metalic. I found myself on the edge of crying, so I ran quickly into the forest. I fall to the ground where no-one could see me and let the tears out. Memories kept feeling my mind the more I thought about it. How my friends turned the back on me, the gods ignored me, my girlfriend.. At this point I didn't care if any Dryad saw me.. I told myself I was being to soft with everyone. After all, they betrayed me. It was going to take a while before they gain my trust again. I comforted Annabeth, for the gods sake! I hugged her! I don't think I still have feelings for her, but being in a situation like that with her..

I was brought back to reality by Luke. All my warriors were looking at me, concerned. 

"Dude, what's wrong? Your pizza is already cold. You haven't touched it since we sat down.", he said.

I glanced at the Big table, and noticed Chiron was eating with the gods. Some of them glanced in our direction every now and then, making sure we didn't kill their sons or anything.

"I'm not hungry." I said, while getting up and making my way out of the pavilion. Some campers stared at me in confussion, but I ignored them.

I interned myself in the forest back again, and found a nice spot to set the tent up. It took me a while because I was alone, but I prefered that rather that being around my friends. They already knew that when I was in a bad mood is because I needed some alone time. 

I glanced at my tent. It looked simple, with spherical shape, and it was entirely blue, which I appreciate. I decided to enter and see if I was right in the description I told Annabeth.

The insides of the tent were as I expected: A long corridor with different doors, eleven in total. They had signs with everyone's names on them. Mine was the last one. I entered my room and, as I expected, it was the same bedroom as in Chaos planet. I went to my wardrobe to check if my swords were there too and, fortunately, they were. I squinted at Riptide. My hand was shaking, but I did it. I grabbed the sword and instantly felt comfortable. It reminded me of the good times, when I would slash bad guys in half with that sword. But that was the past. I left it were it was and grabbed Disgrace. Sure, it was a good sword, but not as good as Riptide. 

I left my room with Disgrace in my right hand. I continued walking down the corridor until I reached the living room. It was connected to the kitchen. There were some stairs that lead to the playroom upstairs, and there was no bathroom. I mean, each of us had their own bathroom in their room, so we needn't another one.

I was walking towards the entrance of the tent when I realised something. There were eleven rooms. But we were ten. 

On the left side we had the male's rooms. They were five. I read the signs. Dumbo. Michael. Charles. Ethan. Luke. Percy. On the other side we had the rooms for the girls. Bianca. Anna. Silena. Zoe. And the last one said... Alessa. Alessa? Who was her? Nobody in our team was called Alessa, unless that was Luke's middle name.

I suddenly felt a presence behind me. My friends were having dinner at the pavilion. I turned around and attacked with Disgrace in an attempt to defend myself, when I noticed it was my mother. I stopped, my sword inches away from her face.

"Wow, what a nice and warm welcome, Perseus.", she said while grinning. I sigued in relief.

"Why are you here? Are you having trouble back home?", I asked.

She shook her head and turned her expression towards the door with the name "Alessa" on it.

"I guess you noticed that too.", she said, a confused expresion on her face.

"You.. It wasn't you who put that there?". She shook her head again. "Then who did it?"

"I don't know, but I think 'Alessa' is the name of the host of the Darkness.", she stated. My eyes opened wide. I had totally forgot about the Darkness. We had to rescue her before the war, or as Lachesis said, 'You won't stand a chance against the enemy if your dynamic duo isn't complete.'

"What are we going to do about her? The bad ones have her, okay, but were is the bad ones little house? We can't save her if we don't find her first", I said.

"Unfortunately, there's no way I can know that. But maybe you do.", Mother said.

"What do you mean?"

"Even if you're opposites, The Darkness and you share a bond. Think of it as the bond that linked you to your friend Grover. I don't really know how it works, you must discover that by yourself."

For a moment, Chaos seemed to flicker.

"I have to go now, son. But remember, I will always be watching everything you do. Don't get in to much trouble.", she said this last thing while smiling. Then, she disappeared.

Some minutes later, after analyzing the information Chaos gave me, I left the tent. I decided to go for a walk on the beach when I saw a man standing in the water. He was staring at the horizon.

"Um, Sir, what are you doing?", I asked, catching his attention. He turned and my expression turned into shock. I was standing infront of a man that used to have bright black hair, now white. His sea-green eyes full of life were opaque, lifeless. The clothes he was wearing were dirty and wrinkled, but he didn't seem to care much.

"Poseidon?", I asked incredulously.

"I guess you are one of those soldiers.", he said, returning his gaze towards the sea.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were always in your palace."

"No, I sometimes come here for him. This was his favourite place in the whole camp.", He answered, his eyes still on the sea.

"Do you mean Percy?", I asked. He turned to me. I could notice he didn't like hearing his son's name.

"He is alive. I feel it. He will come back. I know it." Poseidon kept repeating those words over and over again, trying to convince himself.

"I know Percy. He's a friend of mine.", I lied. Chaos already told the gods, why not tell Poseidon too?

"Really?", He asked surprised. Then, a grin took over his face. "He's alive? He's alive! I KNEW IT!", He said, practically screaming.

"Yeah, when he died Chaos took his body and made him part of our army by turning him immortal." Poseidon's face brighten up. His white hair started to gain back it's old color and I could see that his eyes had a sparkle of hope. His clothes, though, were still messed up.

"Can I see him!? Where's he!? Is he here!?", He asked excited. I wanted to tell him who I was, but I remembered what I told myself earlier. I was being to soft. I wanted to wait some more time.

"Unfortunately, no. He is with the rest of the army back in Chaos planet. After we train the campers here, the army will come. You will see him soon." I could see how he was a little bit disappointed, but he kept smiling.

"Thank you, thank you very much!", Poseidon said, while pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back, shoked. When we broke apart, I smiled.

"You will have to take that statue down, though. Now that you know the truth.", I joked. Poseidon laughed and after a few more words, we waved goodbye. I realised the campers were heading towards were we used to make the fireplace, probably for a meeting. I walked that way with a smile on my face. So far, my day was going well.

Ta-Da! Today, I revealed Mystery Girl! Alessa, who will personificate the Darkness, is an option for Percy to date. My idea for her character was a little bit like Percy: Funny and clumsy. But when you meet her you will probably see a side of her not to.. lovely. That's it, I can't spoil anything else! Thanks everybody for +200 views! You can't imagine my excitement and gratitude right now! THANK YOUUUU!!
