Believe Me~ A Percy Jackson FanFic

Chapter 3

I know Will only really shows up in the trials of Apollo but I must have our little Bi spy. 

~Percy~

"All in?" Annabeth shouted as she flung herself into the van.

"Yeah! Let's go!" Leo yelled at us. Annabeth looked around checking to see if anyone was missing. She nodded to herself, her curls bouncing a little.

"Argus! Time to leave!" Piper yelled out. He grunted and slammed his foot on the gas petal. The van took off with a jolt. Let me tell you about the van, the police would arrest us for how it looked.

Because of the constant quests, the van was covered with this sort of magic that covered us from monsters, and because it could take so many demigods, there were no seats. The ground was just a giant mattress except for the small bin to store weapons, but it was being used to hold pillows and blankets.

It was a big van too, It went 5 meters behind the drivers and passengers seats along with a trunk which was holding our bags. I looked around.

Stolls, check.

Clarisse, check.

Katie, check.

Jason and Piper, check.

Leo, check.

Annabeth, check.

Will, check.

And Nico, check.

Jason put a blanket around him and Piper, Jason had his head against a pillow pressed to the wall. Piper was just using Jason as a pillow which was sweet. Jason had this victorious look on his face which I tried not to laugh at.

Conner, Travis, Katie, and Clarisse all were talking to one another. Leo was silently tinkering with something in his hands, while Nico, and Will both were chatting. 

Annabeth grabbed a blanket and threw it over us, following what Jason and Piper were doing I put my arm around her. I felt my pocket for the pearls, they were right next to Riptide. I sighed and closed my eyes with my wise girl in my arms.

Demigod dreams suck, but are sometimes useful, because now I know that Triton may not have as much magic as I thought.

Triton yelled at my father, "Why can't I use there damn pearls? The stupid trident wont work! I can't use them fully!" 

"It wont work because I have disowned you, you fool! Only my true children with bronze blood can use the pearls! You are certainly not my true child!" dad yelled back to him from his cell.

Bronze blood? I'll have to ask Annabeth later.

Triton put his hand to his chin, "Oh really? And who would they be?"

Dad stayed quite.

"Thought so, I'll just have to get dear brother under my control at last. Anyone can have their loyalty broken, can they not?" Triton teased, he cackled and walked away.

"Percy?" Jason asked, I opened my eyes slowly. 

"Yeah?" I asked him in a raspy voice.

Jason helped me up, I noticed Annabeth wasn't at my side anymore, "Where's Annabeth?"

"She went inside with the others, come on, let's go get supper," Jason replied.

Supper? I looked at the clock only to see it was off. "What time is it?" I asked him.

"Bro, it's like, 3;30," he answered me.

I groaned, "Where are we?" 

"A little convenience store on the road. We decided to take a break because the drive is 10 hours," Jason replied.

"What? Where in the Hades are we going?" I hollered.

Jason looked confused, then he had that Oh face. "That's right, you were sleeping. We're going to Detroit."

I shook my head awake, and opened the van door. We were at a little convenience store, the parking lot was not in the best shape but the field behind the store made me smile. 

I saw Annabeth headed to me, then I remembered my dream.

"Hey! Look who woke up!" she teased.

I laughed at her, then remembered, "Hey, do you know what bronze blood means?"

She looked at me confused, "Where did you get this question? Oh wait, Oh no . . . you didn't have a dream did you?"

"Sadly, yes I did," I replied.

"How about we go eat first and talk about this in the car to kill time, okay?" Jason said.

Annabeth nodded at him, and we started to the store.

I turned to the candy section, "So, how much longer until we get to Detroit?"

She smiled and picked up a bag of Hershey kisses, "We left at 11, so around 5 or 4 more hours."

"How are we going to pay for this?" I asked her.

"Argus gave me this weird credit card that works no matter what price, we don't actually have to pay anything," she replied.

I grabbed some chocolates and candies, then made my way to the drinks. I was stock piling maybe a little, but I don't want to have to make anymore stops. I chose some mountain dew and blue Gatorade, along with some root bear.

We bought the stuff, "Should we go snack in the field?"

"Oh thank Gods, I wanted to so bad!" Katie said making us all laugh.

We all did as so, eating and goofing around in the field. It was about 4 when we finished. We all piled back into he van and Argus took off, I stashed the drinks and candy next to Annabeth's and I' set up.

"So, what is a bronze blood?" Jason asked her before I could.

Everyone was sitting in a circle, all looking to Annabeth and Jason for Information about whatever was going on right now.

"It is . . . a being with human form, why would you dream of that Percy?" she asked, everyone now looked to me.

"Well, my dad in my dream was getting yelled at by Triton, he was angry that the pearls were resisting his control. My dad said that he had disowned Triton, and that's why they wouldn't work. Then he said only a bronze blood son of his could use the trident properly, then . . ." I stopped, suddenly understand a part of the prophecy.

"Triton said he was going to find dear brother, and that loyalty could always break," I finished.

Annabeth turned pale, "We need to hide you, maybe Detroit is too close. Perhaps we should take you to Alaska, or to Brazil."

I shook my head to her, "Detroit is right in the middle of America, away from the ocean."

She bit her lip, and stared at me, "Okay, whatever you say."

So, Triton was now coming for me so I could use the powers for him? He isn't exactly the brightest god around, is he?
