Percy

“Who are you?” Percy asked.
The man leaned against Percy’s car. “My name is Magnus. Magnus Chase.”
Percy looked up from the ground and stared at him. “You’re related to Annabeth?”
Magnus nodded.
It made sense. Same blonde hair and same grey eyes. He carried himself the same way just more masculine. He brought back so many memories.
Percy could hardly look at him. “What is it you want?”
Magnus nodded, “There is someone you should meet.”
Magnus turned to a car parked about 60 feet away and motioned towards it.
The back door opened and a girl stepped out. It was the same girl from the aquarium. She moved towards Percy and Magnus as if she was calculating her every move. She was so much like Annabeth.
She reached Magnus and hid behind his leg and looked at Percy. This time Percy noticed more about her eyes. There was a hint of a dark sea green in them. Percy suddenly connected the dots.
“Is she my…?” Percy asked looking at Magnus.
“Daughter?” Magnus finished. “Yes, she is.”
Percy knelt and looked at her. “How?”
“When Annabeth came, and lived with me for a year and a half. She found out she was pregnant when she got to me. Annabeth gave birth and shortly after she returned to your camp to try and defend it. Sadly, we know what happened next.”
Percy thought back to that day.

*10 years earlier *

“Annabeth go!” Percy yelled.
He shoved her away from the Big House as it exploded. The blast threw them forward. Percy smacked the ground as Annabeth landed next to him.
Percy looked up Half-Blood Hill. Percy could see the people coming over the hill. Small little lights erupted from them. The ground around them started coughing up. The people were shooting at them.
Percy jumped up and grabbed Annabeth and pulled her with him. The bullets kept striking the ground around them. They ran for the cabins.
Percy knew they would have to warn the campers. If not, they would all die.
As they neared the cabins something happened. There was a rumble and then an explosion shook the ground. Farther down the path of cabins a few exploded and then more and more. Percy could see a huge group of men jogging from the beach. Behind them large landing boats carrying tanks were getting closer to the beach. They were firing as they approached.
Percy couldn’t see much but he could clearly see the American Flag on the side of the tanks. The US military was attacking Camp Half-Blood.
Campers started running from the cabins as the tanks kept raining down on them.
“Get to the woods! Head for the rendezvous point in Texas however you can!” Percy yelled.
The campers dispersed in all directions. The only people to come to Percy was his closest friends.
Jason and Piper came. Along with Malcolm from Athena. Katie Gardner from Demeter. And the least expected was Clarisse.
“Ok. Here is the deal. I’m going to try and sink as many boats as I can. You all need to deal with the ground troops. Go!” Percy yelled.
They all ran off. Percy turned to Annabeth. “Go help. I’ll see you soon.”
They kissed and Annabeth ran off. Percy headed for the beach. As he neared the water he screamed and water shot from the beach and washed all the troops off their feet. He ran straight past them and dove into the water.
He swam under the boats and threw out his hands. He concentrated and felt a tug in his gut. He could sense the tidal wave moving in and sweeping the boats onto their side. Percy watched the tanks splash into the water and begin to sink.
He shot to the surface and launched onto the beach. The troops were gone.
He could see fire coming from the cabins. Percy sprinted towards them.
As he came upon the cabins he almost fell onto his knees. Every single cabin was burning and his friends were all being herded into a circle. A man was standing in front of them. He was holding a large celestial bronze mace with spike on the ball part.
He was swinging it around like a baseball bat.
Percy had no idea who he was but he wanted to know. Percy attempted to sneak forward but two hands grabbed him from behind.
He was smacked on the back of the head and he went limp. He was drug over to his friends and thrown onto his knees right in front of the man.
“Perseus Jackson.” The man said. “I supposed you don’t recognize me. You shouldn’t, but oh do I know you.”
Percy looked up at him. Something was strangely familiar. He racked his brain going through all his adventures and he finally settled on one.
When he and Beckendorf had blown up the Princess Andromeda Percy had thrown a demigod in pajamas down a flight of stairs. Percy had assumed he never made it off, but apparently, he had.
The man smiled, “So you do recognize me. Good Percy good. My name is James by the way. I guess you never figured that out.”
“Why are you doing this?” Percy asked. “What is going on here?”
James laughed. “After I escaped that ship I took a step back and watched the Titan war unfold and then the Gaea shit. And well, our kind is dangerous. Very fuckin’ dangerous. So I went to the president and told him about our situation and he granted me command of a regiment. So here I am, ready to wipe you all out. Now I know that some of the demigods escaped, so if you would like to tell me where, I’d appreciate it.”
Percy just looked him in the eyes. James smiled and looked at the others. “Would any of you like to tell me where?”
Nobody said anything.
“Well, shit. I was hoping to do this the easy way.”
He turned to his troops, “Two of you grab that red haired girl and bring her here.”
Two troops ran forward and grabbed Clarisse by the arms and pulled her right in front of James. He smiled at her.
“Well sweetheart I would like to say that this won’t hurt. But it’s gonna hurt a lot.” James addressed the entire group. “This will happen to you all until someone gives the other camp up.”
He raised his mace over his head and paused. “Anyone wanna talk? No? Well, here we go.”
He grinned and brought the mace down.

*present time*

Percy was brought out of his thoughts by a pop and a grunt. In front of him blood squirted out from a gunshot wound in Magnus’ chest. The girl screamed and Percy grabbed Magnus and pulled him and the girl behind the car.
He yanked the door open and put Magnus inside and threw the girl in with him.
“Put both your hands on the wound and press!” Percy yelled slamming the door.
He jumped over the top of the car and slid into the driver’s seat and gunned the engine. They shot backwards and into the street and towards the factory.
