Percy Jackson And Sadie Kane: A Forbidden Love

chapter 33

Percy pov(in third person)

Percy was annoyed. After giving Percy permission to jump in, Poseidon's voice had stopped in Percy's head. So Percy had a great opportunity to go looking for his dad's acquaintances. Yay. Fun.

NOT.

One thing about the mixed up messed up Greek world, you'll never guess who's 'acquainted' to whom so Percy had no idea what kinda creature had Sadie. Nonetheless, he went deeper in.

He noticed how the sea was relatively empty, not enough fish around . The very few that were around squeaked a 'my lord' in his mind and swam away. Weird.

As he went deeper, he realized there was a roughly settled camp at the bottom of the sea. He noticed two creatures waiting there. They looked something like Chiron but somehow totally different. Scaly and green-ish blue( A/A-sorry. Been long since I read MOA. So I might not get the description right).

Percy suddenly recalled Hazel, Valdez and Frank mentioning them. These were the dudes that didn't want to meet him. But what caught Percy's attention was Sadie, lying next to them on the ocean floor, looking in deep peaceful sleep.

As he went closer, he noticed they had impatient expressions on their face.

"About time. The sea lord has informed us of your arrival. You may take your...friend and leave. I don't think we can keep her here any longer. She does not give the aura of a regular Greek for that matter." One guy said. This took Percy by surprise. What the hell was that supposed to mean? Percy decided that was for later.

"The ichyocentaurs. Pleasure to meet you guys. Although, I'm sure you don't share that feeling. You didn't want to meet me after all." Percy said. Their expressions.

"The sea politics...are complicated. A land dweller such as yourself will not know. We don't have anything against you, young prince. Don't get us wrong." The other guy said. Aphros? Or was that Bythos? Percy wasn't sure.

"Which one of you is Aphros and who's Bythos?" He asked.

The two of them shared a glance and then very formally introduced themselves, bowing and all. Percy slowly picked up Sadie, looking peaceful and beautiful.

"Alright, I guess I'll be leaving. See you around. Or maybe not. Since, Y'know, you didn't want to see me." Percy knew he was crossing it, but he couldn't help himself. His upstart impertinent side was starting to resurface. Oh joy.

Surprisingly, instead of anger, a very small, almost unnoticeable smile formed on Aphros's lips.

"Percy Jackson. We've come to...peace with your father. We have no problem whatsoever with you now." Bythos said.

For some reason, this got on Percy's nerves.

"Oh sure. Cause you made peace with dad. Who am I? Why should I be recognized for myself. You know what? I kinda prefer you still don't want to see me." He said. Again, instead of getting mad, they smiled.

"I see now what they mean when they say you've got nerve. But I respect it. If ever sea politics goes awry again, you'll not be included in it. You're always welcome to come visit our underwater camp. Y'know, watch me train heroes like Bill." Aphros said.

Percy smiled. "Ever since Hazel mentioned this camp of yours I've wanted to visit. But I thought it better not to. Since, you know, you didn't like to see me." Percy said. Bythos burst out laughing.

"Oh I like this one. Wish I had the opportunity to train you boy. But I guess Chiron deserves some good heroes too." Bythos said.

"Farewell Percy Jackson. And good luck." Aphros said.

"Wait. I totally forgot to ask. What the hell happened down here? I mean, dad said something about weird forces, disturbances? And what are you guys doing so far away from your camp?" Percy asked. They shared a look again. They do that a lot, Percy noticed.

"Some secrets of the sea, dear Prince, are better off underwater. We prefer them to not reach the surface." Bythos said. Percy nodded.

"I get it. So yeah, see you around? No problem with that, right?" Percy tried. They both raised their eyebrows.

"Okay. I'm pushing it. Sorry." With that, he swam to the surface, sure he heard one of them chuckling softly.

"You what?" May yelled. I sighed. I already regretted IMing her. I don't know why I did it in the first place. After talking to Will, I had this sudden urge to call her. Why? Sue me if I know.

"For the third time May, we got attacked by a freak storm. I'm sure I saw tentacles somewhere around the ship. Definitely not a regular storm. Sadie fell into the sea. Percy went to retrieve her but isn't back yet. " I explained.

"Carter and the others?" She asked.

"I've used the mist to convince them Percy and Sadie both fell into the water. Hazel taught me. Carter is worried, but is pretty sure Sadie is alive. Our chaperone is freaking out. And I'm over here in the store house of the ship ready to kill Percy for taking so long and leaving me in charge of the situation." I said.

"And you? Are you okay? Gosh. I should've come with you. How could I honestly think you'd be safe out there-" This scared me. I hardly knew the girl, and here she was acting like I was the most precious thing in the world. Most important. Even more than Eric.

"Hey! Slow down!" I yelled. I didn't care if anyone heard me. She was creeping me out. Her eyes widened as she realized she was rambling.

"I...sorry. Just take care okay? I'll talk to you later." With that she cut through the connection, leaving me more frustrated than ever.
