Believe Me~ A Percy Jackson FanFic

Chapter 2

~Percy~

I must of caught Chiron off guard. He just stared at the pearls in my hand, then he looked me in the eyes.

"You are a fool, and yet a genius," he said finally, "if you were wrong though, why would you risk these sorts of things?"

I chose my words carefully, "If I didn't do this, if I knew what was happening, and Triton overthrew my father, then I would be a terrible person, and a terrible son."

He took a deep breath in, "I'll call a meeting. Hide those pearls, and tell no one you have them. Try to look as if you only found out about this minutes ago."

I nodded and stared at the ground, I started crying, but I didn't need to fake it. Chiron called Rachel in, and told her what was happening.

"You need to act shocked, don't elude to Percy knowing of anything," he advised.

She put her hand onto my shoulder, and sat down next to me at the ping pong table. "'Are you fake crying?" she asked gently.

"I'm not faking it, it's just a good time to let this out," I told her truthfully.

She nodded, and then put her hand on mine, "You are very brave, Percy."

I smiled to her, Rachel was always so kind to me. I looked her dead in the eyes, "Thank you."

She smiled back to me, she opened her mouth to say something, but the door opened. She turned to whoever it was. Leo just waved at us, and sat down at his seat. Closely after Jason, and Piper entered, followed by Annabeth.

She knelled next to me, "Seaweed brain, what's wrong?"

"You'll see," I responded, taking her hand, and wiping away tears from my face.

Everyone was now here, Chiron cleared his throat. We all looked to him. 

Leo poke the rest of the groups mind, "What's wrong Chiron?"

I mentally prepared myself, what was Chiron going to say to them? Would he do anything to hide the pearls? The fates know I need that help.

"Well Leo, take a look at the sea," Chiron concluded. He pulled out his monster proof tablet that the Hephaestus cabin had made, and showed a news report. That was quick.

"Breaking news, something seems to be happening to the oceans of the world! I am at the coast line of The ocean coming to you live! Scientist theorize that it is climate change, but many people say that it is something else happening," the news lady said.

Chiron closed the video, and looked to Leo.

"Oh that's not good, not good at all," Leo replied.

"Is that why Percy is like this?" Annabeth asked gently. I nodded to her, she stood up and sat next to me in her seat. She took my hand in hers.

Chiron turned towards Rachel, "O Oracle of Delphi, what shall we do?"

Green smoke poured from her eyes and mouth, she said in a hallow voice, "Hide the hidden from the worse. Let is simmer in the thirst. Once has risen, will rise again. All is not lost, but a hidden gain."

"What does that mean?" Annabeth asked.

"I think it means we have to hide something," Jason said, and turned to me, "Or someone."

Oh no, he might be onto it. But what did it mean by thirst? Does it have to do with me?

"Does this mean war? What exactly is happening to Atlantis?" Clarisse asked him. She looked to me, "Will he be okay?"
