Demeter's favorite (Percy Jackson)

2

    It has been a long time since me and Grover left Camp Half-blood. This son of the big three causes a lot of trouble. But Grover found him and befriended him, now it's my turn. We boarded the buses to the museum and sat down. "Carmella! Sit with me."I sneered slightly and shook my head at a little tormentor named Nancy. 

        "Carm. Come sit with us." I looked at the person who spoke and smiled brightly at the satyr in disguise. 

        "Hi Grover. Long time no see." I walked to him and the kid next to him blushed. "Hi i'm Carmella. But you can call me Carm or Ella." I added sitting next to Grover. The whole ride there Nancy was throwing pieces of sandwich at Grover and the kid who was now known as Percy. I bit the inside of my cheek in annoyance. 

        "I'm going to kill her." Percy muttered clenching his fists. I turned my head quickly and looked at him in surprise.

        "It's okay I like peanut butter. Besides you're on probation. And don't even think about it Carm." I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest. We arrived at the museum and I rushed of the bus before everyone else did. "Excited Carm?" I beamed at Grover and bounced on the balls of my feet. The whole time chiron, disguised as Mr. Brunner led the tour Nancy was snickering with her friends. 

        "Will you shut up?" Me and Mr. Brunner turned to look at him, me in surprise, him in understanding.

        "Mr. Jackson, do you have a comment?" I smiled softly and turned to look at a specific statue. It looked awfully familiar. 

        "No, sir." After that I completely zoned out. My eyes wouldn't leave the statue right in front of me. 

        "Do you know who that is?" I shook my head not looking away from the baby being held in Demeter's arms. "That is you. When you were born you were blessed by most. But hated by many. Demeter had a statue made just for you." Chiron stated making me turn quickly. I suddenly saw Percy following Mrs. Dodds further into the museum and followed quickly not answering Chiron's call.    

        You have been causing problems. You think you would have gotten away with it? We are not fools. Confess, and you will suffer less pain." My eyes widened and I grabbed for my necklace waiting to use it. 

        "I don't..." I jumped forward holding my bow in front of me as Chiron tosses Riptide to Percy. 

        "Daughter of Demeter, leave at once if you wish to live. I will give you mercy this once." My eyes hardened and the ground shook slightly.  The fury flew at Percy and he sliced through her like butter as I put my necklace back on, the bow shifting back. The next couple days were hard I had to stay from sight of everyone but Chiron and Grover. 

        "I'm worried about Percy, sir." I sat on the desk in my normal cloak and sandals as Grover spoke to Chiron. "Alone this summer, because well a kindly one in the school!" I set my hand on his arm sending calm vibes to him.         

        "Only make matters worse by rushing him. Let him believe it was his imagination. Let's just worry about keeping him alive till next fall." I stood and looked at Chiron.

        "I don't think we will have long Chiron. They already know of him more will come." I stated turning to walk out.         

        "Carmella. I understand your mother is calling for you but you ignore her. Why?" I froze up slightly and let out a deep sigh. 

        "Everything is fine Chiron. I am on a quest." I answered walking out. I looked down at the book that was in the hallway. "Oh Percy." I whispered walking towards the entrance. 

        I stood in front of the familiar door and knocked gently. "Who is knocking at this damn hour?" I narrowed my eyes slightly at the disgusting voice. The door opened revealing a sweet familiar face. 

        "Carmella?" I nodded and accepted her hug. "What are you doing here?" She opened the door further for me to enter the house.

        "Percy was attacked by a kindly one. We may need to take him early." I explained sitting on the edge of the counter.She nodded with a sad smile.

        "I understand Carmella. Come you can sleep in here for the night." I smiled kindly and shut the door behind me and fell asleep almost instantly. The next day I was awoken to silence. I walked out of the room and saw no one. 

        "Sally." I sighed and walked out into the street. I entered the woods and transported through the trees. "Grover? They left you too?" He nodded and we knocked on the door. Sally opened the door and I sent her an annoyed look with my arms crossed across my chest. 

        "Searching all night." Grover panted causing my eyes to widen when i caught the smell. 

        "Get in the car both of you. Go!" Sally yelled grabbing her purse.

        "What why?" 

        "Hurry!" Grover panted as I ran the opposite way. Percy stared at me for a second before running to the car. I watched them drive off before the Minotaur was charging at me. I took my bow out and fired my arrows at him. He roared before punching at me. I jumped back and took off running the way the car went. I felt something hit my back and I went flying forward landing on the side of the road. I groaned and stood again shooting more arrows. The Minotaur picked me up clenching the fist holding me causing me to scream out loud. He carried me tightly as we got closer to the car and he threw me. I hit the side of the car and rolled to the ground panting in pain. "Carmella!" I shook my head dizzily as he tried to walk toward me. He started pushing Percy toward the camp sign. I blacked out hearing the pain filled roar of the Minotaur. 

        "Carmella? Are you awake?" I opened my eyes softly and smiled at Annabeth. 

        "Hey." I winced sitting up. She rushed over carrying a cup of ambrosia. I drank it quickly and pulled myself into a standing position. 

        "You did well Carmella." I smiled slightly and began walking to my cabin. 

        "έλα εδώ τα κατοικίδια μου (Come here my pets)." I held out my hands as all three hell hounds rushed towards me. I laid on my bed ignoring the piercing glares from my siblings. Nala growled causing all of them to retreat from the cabin. I closed my eyes and let myself drift back to sleep.
