Percy Jackson: The Wolf Curse

Chapter 7: The Greek Roman

[Annabeths POV:]

[Just As Percy Arrives:]

I had just come out of my cabin holding my cute little baby girl Persephone Jackson. Of course I'd give her Percy's surname since once he gets back. He will have to adopt her as well and I'm certain as I am in anything he will. I remember nearly 2 months ago when I found this poor bundle of joy.

[Flashback:]

I was on another journey to find my seaweed brain that probably got himself captured l, cursed or memory wiped again. Knowing my luck it was probably all three.. I wandered through the surrounding forest and out to the road. Hailing the overly creepy taxi, we drove to New York, the closest city and one I hadn't checked in a couple years. Arriving, I headed straight to Sally's home praying he was somehow there, not even caring why. He wasn't.. Turning around I went to central park and broke down crying, I missed him so much! His smiles, dam jokes, loyalty and looks. Why does the fates always try to take him from me? What did I do to lose him?

After a few hours the sky had darkened and rain began to fall from the clouds above like the tears from my sore red eyes. I started heading back, taking a different route as to not see the painful reminder of Percy's disappearance. On the way I heard a baby's cry, I ignored it since it probably came from inside a family home or something. What I didn't expect was to find the wailing baby wrapped up in thin clothes abandoned in the same alleyway I had walked into. I quickly rushed to her side and picked her up, hushing and cradling the poor baby in my arms. She was wet, freezing and malnourished. I had to warm her up fast so I placed her inside my clothes close to my skin, discarding the useless drenched cloth. My body temperature wasn't enough, but better than nothing. I quickly called back the cab to take us back to camp, instructing the old ladies to blast the heat. On the way, I could feel a strong connection develop to her and on the spot decided to adopt her as my own, even going as far as asking my mother to make it official. It seems she was a demigod, but I cared not whose. She was my child now, my Persephone Jackson. A good name if I do say so myself, one that reminds me of seaweed brain only if he were a girl. I'm sure lady Persephone wouldn't mind.

[Flashback End:]

I noticed Cecil approaching and gave him a smile, I had been asking him to look after Persephone whenever I had left to find her father, well father once he adopted her, which he will. I noticed a wolf in front of us, it seemed distraught for some reason. I knew straight away that it was Percy based on the prophecy, but before I could react, he turned away and ran for it. Why had he left? Was it a memory thing? I then realised he had seen the baby and Cecil cooing her, knowing that seaweed brain.. he probably got the wrong idea. "DAMMIT FATES GIMME A BREAK!" I shouted my frustration out, before taking my baby from a confused Cecil and stomping angrily to the Big house.

"CHIRON PERCY WAS HERE!" I screeched. Chiron bolted up about to dash out after him. Before surprisingly Lady Artemis interrupted him.

"Yes, he is, I sent him to go get you, where is he?" So Percy was with Lady Artemis? Why would he be with the hunt?

"I think he saw me with my baby and misunderstood the situation. She's adopted and made official by my mother" I explained myself hoping not to come across as a cheat to the new members in the room. Something I'd never do to him no matter how long I'd have to wait.

"That idiot! He's adopted two daughters of his own that way! Why doesn't he just think for once!" Percy had adopted two children as well? I looked around seeing two young girls shuffle anxiously. I assumed they were his, they looked so much like him..

"Are you two his kids?" I was so stressed and confused that I was just taking each problem at a time to stop myself from losing it. The girls nodded their heads shyly and told me their names, Aria and Coral Jackson. The first name didn't seem like one Percy would give so I guessed she already had that beforehand, Coral just screamed Percy naming style. I introduced them to their younger sister Persephone Jackson.
