Daughter Of Chaos

CHAPTER 17: Percy's pet

Natasha POV

I woke up to see the faces of a lot of people- as in Percy, Jack and Percy's friends that we had recently met, I sat up from my bed, "Morning." I greeted everybody and they greeted back, I looked slightly away because the light that was coming from the curtains was making it impossible for me to look up.

Percy stood up and covered the curtains with the black ones, and the room was a little bit dark, "Thanks Percy." I said and he handed me a glass of water. "I did it again, didn't I?" I asked weakly and Percy nodded forcing a smile.

"Nattie we need to start with your training, to avoid this from happening from time to time. And really, what happened that made you lash out?" Jack asked, "So you meant that this has happened before." Grover asked and Percy nodded. "Well, at the field there was this hell hound that came charging at us and grabbed Percy with it's teeth. From my view it looked like it ate Percy- I thought he had died." I explained and Jack looked at Percy with a questioning look.

"Oh, that was my pet Cerberus. We met on my first quest." Percy said simply, "You have a pet- that is a hell hound. Are you normal. And isn't Cerberus the hound that guards the entrance to the underworld, doesn't that mean people are going out of the underworld as we speak." I said looking at Percy bewildered.

"No, his brother Chimaera is guarding the underworld now. I had asked Hades before I took him and he said I would have to find a replacement- and I did." Percy said and I looked at him like he was crazy, "Yep, that's your boyfriend. Keeping weird things as his pets- not even weird things- monsters. I told him to leave it alone, but no. He just doesn't listen." Grover complained with arms crossed making me laugh.

"That is my Percy, he sees things from within and not from the outside." I said nudging Percy's chin. "So how long have I been out?" I asked, "Only since yesterday." Jack answered- he seemed to be worried about something. I could tell from his mood, it was not a Jack like mood.

"Hey, how come I did not pass out when I had my episode at Olympus?" I asked remembering the incident. "It was on your birthday, every being that is somehow supernatural, they are strongest on their birthday." Jack explained.

"So, your pet dog- when can I meet him?" I asked looking at Percy and he raised his eyebrows, "You wanna meet him?" Percy asked shocked, "Might as well get used to him." I said as I got out of bed slowly, "Let me go take a quick shower." I said then grabbed the clothes I was going to wear for the day, heading straight to the bathroom.

When I was done getting ready I went downstairs to where I could probably find the others. I found them at the dining table all having breakfast, "Aren't we going to the cafeteria?" I asked, "No, Jack said you don't need more Annabeth drama for now, not at least after what happened yesterday." Leo said as he stuffed food in his mouth.

I took a seat and served myself, "So Percy, yesterday- were you trying to get both of us killed?" I asked with a sarcastic smile, "What do you mean?" Percy asked as he took a bite of his sandwich. "Before you knew it was your pet, you brought out a pen- a pen. What was that pen supposed to do exactly?" I asked.

"That was the first thing I told Chiron when he gave it to me, but if you uncap the pen, it changes into the sword Riptide." Percy said and I tilted my head toward my right shoulder in a questioning manner, "I will show after breakfast." Percy said and I nodded excitedly.

After everybody was done I packed all the dishes into the dish washing machine and went outside to hang out with everybody, "Come on, show me." I begged Percy. He took the pen out of his pocket and uncapped it making it change into the sword and my mouth dropped, "Is this thee legendary sword?" I asked amused, "What do you know about it?" Percy asked, "You have this in your possession- wow. This is the only sword that is able to defeat Chronus, it was used by the 'big three'. I said amused.
