Percy's Musical Talents

HeroesOfOlympus
Heyyyy y'all! Hope you all enjoyed the first chapter/prologue of Percy's hidden musical talents! I know I didn't really start on the topic of percy doing anything but like I said, my story will be a bit different from others cos I feel the need to explain to y'all about how the thing came about and all. Take the Leo and Calypso thing in the last chapter. That's what I tried to do cos most stories just write leo and calypso being there but not saying how did they get there in the first place. Okay, enough blabbering, on to Chapter 2!!!
Chapter 2

Percy's P.O.V
All the demigods scrambled from their seats to bow. Mr. D rolled his eyes at all the demigods while muttering, "Why don't these little pests bow to me whenever they see me? I should turn all of these ungrateful scums into dolphins..."

"Lord Apollo? What a pleasant surprise, what are you doing here?" Chiron announced, with a twinge of annoyance in his voice. Not noticing Chiron's slightly different attitude, Apollo turned towards is and flashed us a grin with his pearly white teeth. A few Aphrodite girls melted on the spot.

"DEMIGODS! I have decided to host an arts competition! The arts include, singing,"

At this the whole Aphrodite cabin squealed while some Apollo cabins cheered.

"Drawing or Painting," The Athena cabin straightened up while murmuring.

"Dancing," Cue the Aphrodite cabin screaming in delight and the Apollo cabin grinning.

But... "LEO VALDEZ IS GONNA OWN THE DANCE FLOOR!!!" Everyone started laughing in disbelief before turning their attention back to Apollo.

"And playing any musical instrument," At this, my eyes widened and my hands twitched. Oh gods... All those words Apollo said... Singing, drawing, painting, dancing, playing any musical instrument?

Memories, bad, bad memories came to me in a flash. Memories I tried so hard to get rid of. So hard. I couldn't take it, recalling all the bad and a bit of good memories from the past, I ran past Apollo.

Towards a safe place.

The ocean.

Annabeth's P.O.V
After Apollo finished talking about what form of arts there are, I turned my head towards the Poseidon's table.

Okay, more specifically Percy.

I was going to flash Percy a grin of excitement. Drawing, Painting! One of my skills.

Well maybe for only drawing buildings.

Okay... Maybe just drawing architecture. But still! That's gotta count as drawing! As I flipped my head towards the Poseidon's table, I saw Percy looking as white as... Well... Nico.

He was pale and his green eyes were wide open. Inside them, I saw a hurricane, swirling. The next minute, I saw a tsunami.

He was clenching his hand. I saw his knuckles and his hands were white. Sweat was trickling down his forehead. I was worried for him. I frowned and was about to go over to him before he ran out of the dining pavilion.

"What in hades..." I muttered before staring at Chiron, signalling, can I follow him. Chiron took one look at my stormy, worried grey eyes before nodding his head, a frown across his face.

As I sprinted past Apollo, I swear to the gods I heard: "It's time to show them what Percy Jackson can do. Let's hope he'll share his history with the demigods..."

Apollo spread out his head and started talking about the competition rules. I didn't hear anything. I was too worried running out of the dining pavilion towards Percy. The first place I'll look?

The sea.

Percy's P.O.V
I splashed into the cold ocean, sinking down to the deepest end. I sat there, my head in my hands. Recalling the past... Mum... School... Gabe... Fire... Smoke... Healing...

Oh gods. I bit my lip, hard as I sat there in the bottom of the ocean.

Alone and hyperventilating.

*Insert dramatic music* so was that okay? Good? Leave some comments down below like maybe what songs you think are nice. Anyways, hope y'all enjoyed that chapter. Sorry to leave y'all on a bit of a cliffhanger too. Well, anyways I'll update as soon as I can to anyone who wants to read my story.
Peace out;),
