Abused Percy Jackson

Larger Than Life

The Next Day On Olympus:

"Ok, this time let me choose the memories," said Percy

"Very well," considered Zeus

"Iris, if you will," said Percy motioning for Iris to do her thing. She created the IM and went back to the side of the room.

When the IM started the audience could see that Percy was about 5 now. He was sitting on his bed drawing in a sketchbook. He was drawing a picture of Artemis and her Hunters. Then a loud crash could be heard from somewhere else in the house. Percy quickly stashed the book and colored pencils under his bed. "Get out here Perseus!" Screamed a drunk Gabe.

"Coming Sir!" He yelled back making a face. Percy ran out of his room into the kitchen to see a mad Gabe.

"You boy, are in big trouble."

"Why?"

"Why? Well, you left a bit of blood on the tile! Sally almost noticed! We don't want that do we?"

"No sir..." Percy mumbled looking down

"Clean it up."

"Yes sir," Percy then left and went into the bathroom and grabbed bleach and a bucket of water, with a scrub brush of course. When Percy got back he got straight to cleaning. When he leaned over to scrub the floor a sickening crack was heard. Blood spattered the floor.

"That's what happens to little boys who don't clean properly," sneered Gabe holding a whip in his hands. He then laughed an evil laugh and brought down the whip again.

After more than 20 whips later he left. Percy just stayed there and cleaned the floor. He started singing Larger Than Life (Song Above). The IM ended there.

"We'll see you all tomorrow. Have a nice day!" said Zeus in the most pleasant tone he could muster. The Demigods then got flashed out of Olympus into Percy's Cabin.

"You can sing Percy?" asked Will

"Yeah, it's no big deal though," replied Percy

"Why don't we know this stuff about you Percy?" asked Annabeth

"Well, um, I have, um, bad social anxiety?"

"Really? Percy Jackson the hero of Olympus has social anxiety," laughed Leo

"Well yeah! You know what my home life was like. And I never had any friends at school, everyone hated me."

"Reasonable answer," replied Annabeth

"Percy you were drawing Artemis' Hunt, why?" asked Thalia

"My mom told me Greek myths when I was little. Out of all the gods Artemis was my favorite she saved girls from abusive homes and bad people. Now that I think about it, I might have drawn Zoë in the picture. Let me go get it." Percy then walked over to his bed and pulled something out from under the mattress. You could see the blood on it.

"Here it is! Look I did draw Zoë!" Percy handed Thalia the book. The Hunter saw an exact replica of Artemis, Zoë, and Pheobe. Thalia started tearing up. She quickly wiped her tears and handed the book to Annabeth. Annabeth just handed it back to Percy who was watching them like they were holding a baby.

"Have you drawn anything else Perc?" asked Piper

"Hm? Oh yeah, let me see," he said standing up and walking over to his bed. He reached under the mattress and pulled out two more sketchbooks. He looked at the first page in the books and put the first one back under the mattress. "Here you go, Pipes!" He said handing her the book.
