Chapter 4

Annabeth's P.O.V
When I saw all the drawings in Percy's cupboard, my grey eyes widened. The drawings were all so real! They all looked like pictures taken with a camera.

I gasped, "Percy! These drawings are so lifelike! So real! Why haven't you shared these with all of us?" Percy stared at me with his sea green eyes, gulping.

"Do you trust me Wise Girl?" He asked, fingering his Camp necklace. "With my life," I truthfully answered. "Then please don't tell anyone! I... I had a bad experience with showing my drawings to people..."

Before I could ask him why, he pleaded with me while enlarging his eyes. "Please Wise Girl... Please?" He pouted, sticking his bottom lip out. I sighed in defeat, he looked just like a baby seal.

I waved my hand while he grinned, thanking me. All of a sudden, we heard the conch horn blare two times. That meant a god or maybe the gods were here.

"Come on Seaweed Brain! Let's go!" I could NOT afford to be late, I was Annabeth Chase, I am never late especially when there are gods.

Sprinting out of the cave, Percy placed an air bubble around us and willed the water to burst us out of the ocean.

We landed on the sand and sprinted as fast as we could to the dining pavilion.

Thalia's P.O.V (Bet u didn't expect that)
I started my day off pretty normal. Wake up all the hunters by shocking them with electricity, running as fast as I could while laughing when they chased me.

Except one thing. Artemis came out of her tent looking aggravated. She was in her 18 year old form which meant she was very angry.

Immediately, all the hunters stopped running before Phoebe punched me in the gut. Like the saying goes, a violent family is a happy family.

What are you frowning at? I'm pretty sure it's a saying.

Anyway, Artemis stood in front of us, balling her fists tightly before punching the tree next to her. By punching, I mean breaking the tree's bark.

The hunters immediately straightened up and placed their arms behind their back. An angry Artemis is not a good Artemis.

"Milady, what is wrong..." I gulped as she looked at me in the eyes. "What is wrong? WHAT IS WRONG!" She shouted angrily and the hunters looked at me with pity.

"I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS WRONG! MY IDIOTIC BROTHER APOLLO DECIDED TO HAVE A SINGING COMPETITION AND THE HUNTERS, ROMANS AND GREEKS ARE REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE!" Phoebe mustered up some courage before replying, "Can't we like not participate?"

She glare at Phoebe, causing her to flinch and stare at her shoes. Artemis gritted her teeth and took out her bow and arrow and shot something in the sky. A figure plummeted through the sky towards Artemis' side.

That's when we realised the figure was Apollo. Apollo crashed into the dirt head first and we all couldn't help but laugh. Especially Artemis. She continued shooting arrows at Apollo as he quickly got up and took shelter behind us.

"That's just low, hiding behind my hunters but what should I expect you ARE LOW!" Artemis screamed and kicked at the place where the sun doesn't shine on Apollo.

"OW!" Apollo shrieked like a girl and all of us howled in laughter. Wiping tears from my eyes, I asked Artemis, "So, why can't we not participate?"

Instead of Artemis answering, Apollo got up and flashed right in front of my face. "That's cause I, the smartest god in like creation, had a plan! I borrowed Artemis' sacred bow and I won't return it unless you all participate in my fantastic competition!" Apollo grinned, expecting us to cheer and compliment him.

"Hunters... ATTACK APOLLO!" I screamed before shooting Apollo with lightning bolts from the sky. Apollo yowled and shrieked like a girl as we shot him with arrows everywhere and I summoned more lightning bolts to strike him.

How could he 'borrow' (note the sarcasm) Artemis' scared bow? You may be thinking what's so important about this bow but this is Artemis' SACRED BOW we are talking about. If anyone steals her Sacred Bow, Artemis can't ride her moon chariot and if she can't ride her moon chariot, it will be sunny forever!

Night is the time when Artemis is the strongest, if she goes one night without her riding her chariot, she will lose some of her immortality. Artemis screamed a battle cry before we charged in with our swords, beating Apollo to a pulp.

After a while, Apollo called his sun chariot and crawled across the floor towards it and ate some ambrosia which healed him. "Give me one good reason why I should not tell my hunters to attack you!" Artemis growled like a wolf about to pounce on its prey.

Apollo and Artemis argued telepathically, not allowing us to hear the conversation. The hunters hated it when Artemis did that but it was apparently to keep the young hunter's minds supposedly fresh.

Sighing in defeat, Artemis faced us and motioned her hand towards Apollo's sun chariot. As we climbed on board Apollo's chariot, each of the hunters either scowled or glared at him. When I was going to get onto the chariot, Apollo took my hand gently in his.

"May I?" He asked while wiggling his eyebrows. The hunters and Artemis were about to pounce on him but I gave them an evil smirk, signalling that I was about to do something. "You shall..." I answered as girly as I could.

All the hunters' eyes widened at me, they were shocked that I could act so well. I gave them a smirk before focusing on Apollo about to kiss my hand. When his lips were barely 1cm apart from my hand, I sent electricity to his lips and into his whole body

"OWWW!!!" Apollo shrieked as we all howled in laughter. Artemis smirked before whispering with venom dripping in her voice. "You better get us to Camp as quick as you can and give me back my scared bow too brother dear..." Apollo gulped and nodded his head like a bobble head and dashed to the driver seat to bring us to Camp Half Blood.

I reclined in my seat, placing my legs up on the seat in front of me I closed my eyes. Proud of shocking Apollo but mostly to not look out the chariot and start screaming about my fear of heights.

Phoebe's P.O.V (I'm full of surprises)
When we arrived at the foot of Camp Half Lame-o, we greeted the girls with smiles and glared at the boys.

All of a sudden, we noticed the two heroes of two main prophecies running towards us. Annabeth Chase and Percy Jackson.

Percy Jackson. The only boy probably in the whole universe the hunt has come to respect and fear. We heard of the many heroic deeds he has done and instead of boasting like a normal boy, he always humbly says the same things like, "I had help" or "I wasn't the only one who did it"

He was the opposite of all males we, the hunters of Artemis, learnt to hate. As they both approached us, Percy knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "Lady Artemis, The hunters of Artemis..." As he stood up, he had a little twinkle in his eyes.

Annabeth nudged Percy with her shoulder as she pointed at our lieutenant, Thalia Grace. Grinning at them, Thalia rushed forward and grabbed them into a hug before engaging in a conversation with them.

After the Giant war, the hunters spent some time with Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase as Thalia wanted to catch up with both of them. During those months, we got to understand the couple better and what they have both been through. Also, every night at the campfire, they would tell about their heroic deeds and Percy would blush whenever we stared amazed at him.

I formed a brother-sister bond with Percy by accident. All of a sudden I was sucked into a flashback

-FLASHBACK-

3rd Person P.O.V
It was early in the morning, the sun was rising and nothing or no one was awake except one girl. Phoebe was walking in the woods, it was her turn today to hunt for breakfast and she was planning to do her very best.

Usually she wouldn't care any less but she had a bet with Thalia and she could not afford to lose 20 drachmas. As she jumped from tree to tree, she suddenly heard a noise, like a monster getting killed. Using her hunting skills, Phoebe leaped to the direction of the sound and found herself looking at something she will never forget.

There was a huge camp of monsters, roughly around 50 monsters but that wasn't what she was shocked at. She was shocked seeing a boy swirling through the monsters, stabbing them one at a time skilfully.

The boy dodged every attack and killed every monster until there was nothing but golden dust everywhere on the ground.

Gasping, she realised the boy was Percy Jackson, she had heard so much about his sword fighting skills but always doubted it but now she knew how he fought. It wasn't as good as others said, no, it was a million times better. What surprised her though was that he was not even breaking a sweat.

He stood there, his back straight and sea green eyes swirling with emotions, she swore she saw sadness and anger. His chest rippled with muscles. Not too much until it disgusted you but enough to make him look terrifying.

His height of 7ft tall made him even more scary but what scared her the most were the scars. There were scars behind his back and torso, claw marks, came marks, teeth marks, you name it they were all on him.

Phoebe's hands flew to her mouth as she saw his scars which were a mistake. Swirling his head towards Phoebe, Percy raised his eyebrows as he approached her. "How long have you been standing there?" Percy asked with gentleness.

"Enough to see you kill every single monster. How do you kill them so fast?" Phoebe asked curiously, tilting her head to one side. Percy leaned against a tree while putting his hands in his jean pockets. He sighed as he ran his hands through his messy black hair. Percy then proceeded to tell Phoebe that he was having a dream about all his friends dying before his eyes and most importantly Annabeth.

He said he then woke up, having a feeling there were monsters near by so he just ran out of his tent into the woods. "Now that I've finished my story, what are you doing here?" Percy grinned lopsided.

"I had a bet with Thalia worth 20 drachmas. If I can cook and kill more animals than her, I get the drachmas but I see no animals in the distance..." Phoebe rambled as she slid her back against the tree trunk. Percy grinned evilly before declaring, "I'll help you! Anything to get Pinecone Face embarrassed cos she shocked me yesterday in the early morning!"

Phoebe raised her eyebrow uncertainly, sure Percy Jackson could fight well but could he hunt well? Percy nodded his head, signalling Phoebe to follow him before he shot off into the trees, jumping with such gracefulness and agility that Phoebe almost mistook him for a tiger.

For one hour, Percy and Phoebe managed to kill at least 15 animals, all large size! Thalia only managed to catch 5 but the problem was cooking. "You are amazing at hunting Percy! You killed like 10 of the animals!" Phoebe praised Percy as he grinned sheepishly.

"Nah, you hunted most of it..." Percy humbly answered. Phoebe rolled her eyes at Percy. 'This male is too... Humble...' Phoebe thought. Then Phoebe jerked up alarmed. "Oh gods... Oh no..." She mumbled again and again.

Percy worriedly asked her what was wrong and she stared at him in the eyes and replied, "I just remembered that part of the bet was also whoever can cook the best! I can't cook anything! I always burn the food! I'm gonna lose 20 drachmas..." Phoebe wailed.

Percy stared at her, determination in his eyes. "No, you won't lose, I swore I'd never cook again but I'll help you to cook just swear on the river Styx to not tell anyone that I cooked the meal!" Before Phoebe could give a smart comment about boys not being able to cook any better than she could, Percy ran into the woods and came out with some leaves.

Gaping, Percy chopped up all the meat and leaves. He cooked the meat and in minutes, he placed all the food on the table. "Remember, I did not cook any of this," Percy winked at Phoebe as he walked to a chair.

Clearing his throat, Percy shouted loudly, "WOW! Look at the amount of food Phoebe caught and it smells amazing!" Slowly, one by one, the hunters came out the tents with the same surprised expression before dashing to the table and gobble up the food.

All the hunters, Artemis and Annabeth complimented Phoebe's cooking and the amount of animals she managed to catch. Just as she was about to tell them it was all Percy, Percy looked at her with a lopsided grin and winked at her.

When Thalia came out, she was so shocked, she stood there as they finished the meal.

"I believe you owe me 20 drachmas," Phoebe giggled as she walked past Thalia towards the archery range.

As she walked to the archery range, Phoebe passed by Percy, whom she gave a high five. "Thanks Master Chef," she whispered as he raised up his eyebrow cheekily. "Master Chef? Me?" Percy grinned as he dashed towards Annabeth who was calling for him.

Laughing, Phoebe strolled to the archery range.

-FLASHBACK END-

Phoebe's P.O.V
Just as I finished my flashback, I heard Percy shouting excitedly while waving his arms like a little kid, "YO! PHOEBE! Come here!"

Dashing towards him with my arms open, he embraced me in a hug. As we finished hugging, he ruffled my hair as I pouted. "How'd you two get so close together?" Thalia asked with her hands on her hips.

At the side, I saw Annabeth looking a bit jealous. "Relax Wise Girl, we've only got a brother-sister relationship, besides you know you're the only one for me," Percy cheesy comment did not make Annabeth look any better but Percy stood in front of her.

Placing his hand behind her head, he leaned in to kiss her. They lovingly kissed each other, I mean I'm no Aphrodite girl but they were the best couple probably in the whole universe.

But guess what?

Apollo had to ruin the moment didn't he?

"PERCY ANNABETH! Glad to see you two! Has anyone told you about the music competition rules? No, they didn't, did they? So basically all Head counsellors in each cabin HAVE to participate! Great? Okay great!" Apollo said in one breath.

Percy stared angrily at Apollo. If looks could kill, Apollo would be dead right now with knives poking out from every part of his body.

"What did you say?" Percy barked at Apollo. Apollo trembled under Percy' glare before realising all the campers were looking at him so he straightened up and loudly replied, "I said all head counsellors in each cabin must participate in the competition! In every category as well!"

Percy roared as summoned a hurricane around him as he took out Riptide, his sword, and began attacking Apollo fiercely. Apollo screamed like a little girl, again, and he didn't even have enough time to block any of Percy's attacks.

"STOP! STOP PLEASE!" Apollo pleaded Percy and gave Annabeth a look. Sighing, Annabeth put a hand on Percy's shoulder and muttered some words into Percy's ear. Percy calmed down but not before shooting Apollo another glare that made him shrink under.

When we saw Apollo clearly, we gasped. He was beaten even worse than the time when all the hunters attacked him. Apollo was bruised black and blue. We expected him to start chopping Percy up into pieces but instead, he sighed and snapped his fingers, making all the cuts disappear.

All of a sudden, Apollo frowned and started nodding his head. "Alright, okay, good..." People near him heard him mutter under his breath before turning to everyone.

"CAMPERS AND HUNTERS! THE MUSIC COMPETITION BEGINS NOW!" Apollo announced as he spread out his arms. Suddenly, we were in the centre of the throne room in Olympus. The gods shrunk down to normal heights and began to hug their children and having conversations with them. But most of the children were shocked by the throne room.

The throne room was beautiful. It was decorated with white marble columns, a huge chandelier attached to the ceiling and the walls of the throne room were changing every minute. One second it would be the adventures of Hercules, that vile male who cheated Zoƫ Nightshade, our ex lieutenant of the hunt.

Seeing Hercules, all the hunters, Artemis and Percy gritted their teeth.

The next second it was Achilles and his heroic acts. Most importantly, his heel. The list when on and on. Some modern demigods like Jason Grace, Piper McLean, Leo Valdez, Annabeth Chase, Nico Di Angelo, Will Solace, basically all the demigods and hunters who helped in the titan war or the giant wall.

Finally, it came to Percy Jackson. The wall did not show about his past, unlike all the others but it showed all his heroic deeds. Compared to the other heroes, demigods and hunters deeds, his were the most. The wall didn't even have enough space to show all the heroic deeds so his time on the wall was longer than others.

When the hunters and demigods saw this, everyone stared at him, mouths wide open while he blushed uncontrollably and tried to hide his face.

"OKAY ENOUGH CHIT CHAT!" Zeus bellowed. Zeus nudged Apollo and Apollo walked to the front and snapped his fingers.

Behind him appeared a huge stage with a screen on the stage, colourful flashing lights and red curtains. We all found ourselves sitting in cinema red velvet chairs, each row higher than the first.

Popcorn and drinks appeared in front of us and Apollo flashed onto the stage with a DJ like booth in front of him. "Let the music competition begin!" Apollo spoke into his microphone and cheers were heard.

That's a wrap for Chapter 4! Again, thanks for the amount do views! Y'all are the best. Be sure to subscribe and check my story every now and then to see if I update the Chapters! Again, leave some suggestions at the comments section for songs the demigods should sing! Peace out, HeroesOfOlympus

OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. I love the concept and your writing is really good as well! I love diving deeper into Percy's character and revealing more of his past. You're doing an amazing job! I'd say a sequel to this would be cool but it depends on how this ends. Thanks so much and can't wait to see what's next!
