Perseus Jackson and the Element Wolves

Chapter 2 - Home Coming

~3rd Person POV~

As the well trained and deadly assassin stood at the top of Half-Blood Hill. No one said a word.

That was until Zeus being the god of thunder, thundered. "WHO ARE YOU?!?!?"

"You don't remember me uncle?" the assassin said calmly, but on the inside was laughing.

Everyone was shocked by that. The figure was a nephew of Zeus but...

Annabeth gasped, "Percy?" By now everyone was looking in hope at the assassin.

He flipped his hood back and grinned. "The one and only."

~Percy's POV~

Once I said that everyone took in my appearance from my combat boots, dark blue skinny jeans, utility belt (with many hidden weapons), my black sword, black shirt, flowing black cape, to my sea-green eyes and messy black hair.

I smirked, "Miss me?" That got everyone, and I mean everyone, to run up.

First it was my dad who gave a hug, then the seven(minus Annabeth), senior councilors, Nico, and Thalia, who shocked me.

And last but not least was my amazing and beautiful girlfriend Annabeth.

She walked up to me and stared. I could tell she was trying really hard not to cry.

"Why did you leave?" She demanded, but I could hear the desperation in her voice.

I sighed, looking her in the eye. "It's a long story."

"I have time," was her reply.

How can I tell them what happened in the last ten months? Do I really want to tell them? Was it my story to tell?

"Annabeth..." I started, "Someday I will tell you, but not now. I can't for many reasons. I hope you can understand that." I knew by the look she was giving me she thought I didn't trust her. But I did.

"But for now," I took a few steps back and said to everyone "How come the camp was attacked by a clan of Nightmares?"

Everyone looked confused, "A nightmare?" Athena asked.

I sighed. How many times am I going to sigh today?

"I don't know? You tell me." I looked over and saw Alpha.

Annabeth took a step forward with her knife. I put my arm out to stop her and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "What are you doing here?"

Instead of answering she walked up to me crossed her arms and threatened me. "Do you know how many clans of Nightmares I have killed while you were talking?" I didn't answer instead she walked up to my ear and said something low enough no one will hear, "I win the bet."

She backed away, while I threw my head back and groaned. "Pay up," She held out her hand. I reached in my belt and pulled out a vial and handed it to her. she put it away in her belt before announcing to everyone, "There's a war coming!"

Thank you everyone for all the views. When I saw that I almost cried in joy.

Hope you enjoyed.
