Son of Hades: A Percy Jackson Fanfiction

Three

Chapter 11: Three

“Why did he let us go I mean it doesn’t make sense he had completely lost it what did you say?” Cleo asked and my stomach flutters uncomfortably. Have you ever had one of those secrets that everyone seems to know about then want to know the entire story. Like you give them the short version and it just isn’t enough? Well then I’m totally screwed with no means of escape. I’ve been ambushed and surrounded. I’m in the big house and everyone is here. Percy, Annabeth, Cleo, Connor, Dom, Clarisse, Piper, Leo, Jason and well….everyone.  My life stinks.

“I talked to him.” I said slowly and Cleo’s eyes narrow. Uh oh.

“So you talked…that’s all.” She waggles her eye brows and I gulp.

“Okay we talked then we kissed a bit.” She smiles evilly and I hide in my hair. If there was ever a time for evil bitch pants McCrabby to kill me it’d be now.

“So he tried to throw me off a ledge and you kiss him for it?”

“What no okay, he didn’t mean to, he was faking don’t ask me why but he was. Then I called his bluff and we kissed a bit then passed out next thing you know I wake up surrounded by crazy people. Happy that’s the entire story.” They all silently look at me.

“We’re not that crazy.” Percy smiles and Annabeth biffs him.

“So he’s okay?” Connor asks and I shake my head.

“God no he’s a mess but he’s alive which means we can fix him and turn him into his old crabby, “take no crap from nobody” self. We can help him but we need to figure out what’s wrong first.”

“And he didn’t think to tell you that?” Jason asks annoyed and I try not to smile. I think in some funky way they miss fighting each other on a daily basis.

“He wasn’t really in the mood.” We hear hoofs coming up the stairs and everyone scatters but the funny thing is it’s hard to hide in a small room.

“What is going on up here?” Chiron says but his voice is controlled.

“We were just talking to Mia-“ Dom started.

“And now your leaving Ms. Barone has been through quite an ordeal and needs to rest. You can interrogate her again once she’s rested.” Everyone walks out and Connor crawls out from under the bed and runs to catch up.

“My apologies I-“

“It’s fine but thanks for saving me.” He sits next to the bed folding into his magic Wheel chair.

“Do you feel better?” He asks and I nod.

“For the most part but my head still hurts a bit.”

“Has he contacted you?” He asks and I shake my head.

“Not since the letter. I want to call but I think he needs some space. And until he’s ready to deal with everything I need to figure out the whole deal thing he made with hades something isn’t right. I think Hades is up to something.

“Isn’t he always?” Chiron asks but his voice changes and his face changes into to someone else. A minuet later Hades stands before me with a smug smile on his face.

“I’m dreaming aren’t I?” I ask and he smiles.

“You are and do you have any idea how hard it was to find you. I had search through six other dreams before I stumbled on to yours. That necklace truly does work wonders.” He reaches out to touch the necklace but as soon as it gets close it zapped him. “My son stole that from me.”
