The next prophecy

I have failed my mission

No

No

I was not expecting that.

At all.

Me and percy stood there.

Frozen in shock, jaw dropped.

I slowly turned to percy to see him opening and closing his mouth trying to say words.

“W-what do you mean n-no.” He finally stuttered out.

“I mean no I don’t want to go.” PJ repeated.

Ace frowned.

“Um PJ can i talk to you for a sec?” Ace asked PJ with a pointed look.

She shrugged and he dragged her out of the door.

“What does she mean no.” Percy asked again with confusion and hurt written clear on his face.

“Maybe we sprung it on her to fast. Maybe she just needs a little more time to adjust.” I said trying to cheer percy up a bit.

“But i thought she would be a little excited about meeting our mom but instead i probably just ticked her off more than ever. Why must i always be a screw up.” Percy cried out while putting his face in his hands.

I frowned and grabbed his hands and push them away.

“Ok first off she’s just nervous is all and it was really sudden. Second you didn’t ticked her off. And third you are not a screw up you were just trying to do something nice for your sister.” I said.

Percy still didn’t look convinced.

Ace please figure something out.

Ace pov

“What do you mean no PJ.” I asked completely confused. I had dragged PJ To Zeus fist.

“ I mean no Ace. You should know what that means it’s like your catchphrase.” Pj said with a raised eyebrow.

“No it’s not.”

She gave me a look.

“Ok so maybe it is but that's beside the point. Penny why don’t you want to go see your mom wasn’t one of the main reason for you coming here was for you to be reunited with your brother AND mom.” I pointed out. She shrugged.

“Look is not that i don't want to see her it's just...a lot is going on and well…” She trailed off not making any type of eye contact.

“And well.” I asked gesturing for her to continue. She said nothing while finding a new interest in her shoes.

“PJ what is it.” I asked.

“I'm scared ok!!” She exploded.

“I’m scared.” She whispered this time.

I brung her towards my chest as she broke down in sobbs. We sat there with only PJ’s sobs to fill the silence.

She calmed down after awhile and pulled away a bit to reveal my tear stain shirt but i couldn’t care less.

All that matter to me right now was Pj.

“I’m sorry about your shirt i’ve been nothing but a mess since we got here. Maybe this was a bad idea, maybe i should have stayed back on chaon heck i should just stayed in tar-”

Yes I interrupted her.

And yes i did that by crashing my lips on hers.

And no I did not feel bad about it.

But sadly we had to pull away.

DARN YOU OXYGEN!

“ I-it’s just i can’t face my mom. Not while i’m like this, not when i've  done nothing for her, not when she obviously doesn’t want me. Not now, not ever.” Pj said with her face crust fallen.

It broke me to see her like, to hear her like this.

She almost sounded like...me.

“ Penny i get your a little nervous about meeting your mom, i was just as nervous meeting Annabeth but you helped me get out of that and now I finally have a chance to connect with my sister and you can do the same with your mom but you gotta be ready to face any fears you might have with that.” I tried and I knew it worked when she sighed and rolled her eyes.

“ Fine you got a good point.” Pj said in defeat.

“Woohoo!” I yelled with nothing but pride swelling in my chest.

“ Remind me to never give you advice again.” She grumbled. I shook my head at her.

“Alright lets go tell Annabeth and percy that you changed your min-” I said as i pulled Pj hand but she yanked me back.

“Oh no. I’ll go see my mom. But i will go see her when I decide i’m ready to go.” Pj said with her hands placed on her hips now.

“Bu-” I cut myself off when i saw her narrow her eyes at me daring me to finish that sentence. I took the warning and sighed feeling my early celebrated pride deflate oh so slowly.

“Now come let’s go tell Perce and annabeth about my decision.” Pj said with a smirk as she grabbed my hand and vapor traveled us back to percy and annabeth.

I have failed my mission.

Fuddule cakes!
