Epilogue
Five years later
Percy sighed, leaning back in her lounge chair as she soaked up the sun and ignored the splashing and laughter of others in the pool and around it.
"You're drink, Madam." Percy opened her eyes, just in time for her to see the lust that was in the waiter's eyes at it looked at her body. Percy quirked her lips in amusement. She wasn't offended, she always enjoyed the lustful looks sent her way, although her children could do without it. They all got increasingly uncomfortable at the thought of their mother being attractive to others. And her sons got overprotective, especially when they heard men and some women asking her out on dates.
"Thank you, kind sir." She winked at him causing the man to blush and walk away, peaking back over his shoulder at her as he continued to work.
Rebekah and Freya, whom were sitting on either side of her sunbathing while the boys played in the pool, scoffed. "Mother, i love you, but please, stop flirting - no matter how little or big of an amount it is - in front of me. It nauseates me." Rebekah said. Percy smirked at her youngest daughter.
"Dear Rebekah, i, just like the rest of you have needs, and if poor mortal boys want to step in and fulfill those needs, I'm definitely not going to stop them."
Calls of protest rose from all of her children as her sons had finally emerged from the resort's pool and gathered around them, sitting on the end of the three lounges. "Mother, why must you torture us?" Elijah asked exasperated. Five years of being a reunited family had gotten her middle sons to loosen up and became even less bloodthirsty. They still had the occasional enemy that came out of the woodworks, especially because of the four that had been active the past thousand years and because of Percy's own deeds; although she never told her children when there was a godly problem as she didn't want to put them in even more danger then they already were to begin with from their run-of-the-mill ones.
Flashback
After the Mikaelson Ball, the Scooby Gang had discovered that the Wickery Bridge and the sign had been made of white oak and had tried to kill Finn when he had been wandering Mystic Falls with Henrik. Finn luckily with the help of his magic and Henrik's surprisingly strong ability to manipulate water, proving that he was indeed a very strong Legacy of Poseidon, they were able to stop the white oak stake from entering his heart. But the result of the attack ended unfortunately with Matt Donavon dead when Finn lost control because of Elena and Stefan attacking his newly risen little brother. His wild blast of magic had instantly snapped Matt's neck right before Matt pulled the trigger on his crossbow and he was no more.
Stefan, knowing when to cut his losses, was kick to grab Elena and whoosh out of the alley they had been fighting in, leaving the two Mikaelsons and the dead body of Matt Donovan. That wasn't the end of it however. The Scooby gang kept trying and trying to kill them all for no reason until the Mikaelson family had a vote one evening after another failed attempt by their enemy.
"I am tired of the constant attacks, of having to look over my shoulder to make sure that one of those pathetic children aren't lurking with a white oak stake. This time they have gone too far. They attacked Mother and were actually able to stab her. The only good thing is is that that doppleganger wench and her blonde friend aren't skilled in the art of killing vampires or other supernatural beings and missed." Rebekah said from where she was leaning against the doorway. None of them leave the house by themselves now as the very few times in the beginning that they had, they had been surprise attacked by the gang and almost killed. Rebekah more often then not was paired with Kol, Klaus with Elijah, Finn with Freya, and Henrik with Percy.
Percy dragged her hand down her face from where she was sitting in between two very protective sons, Klaus and Elijah with Kol and Finn hovering behind her with Freya and Henrik sitting on an adjacent couch. She had been lucky, at the very last possible second as Caroline had pushed the stake into her chest, she had vapor travelled back to the Mikaelson Manor and into the lap of Finn whom had immediately fed her his blood after pulling out the stake.
"Nik, I know that you want the girl's blood for your hybrids and that Stefan used to be a friend, but..." Freya trailed off. All of Percy's children was watching her in concern and hadn't let her out of their sight besides letting her go to the bathroom since she had been attacked the night before.
Percy reached over and grasped her middle son's hand. "Nik, if you truly want the girl's bloodline to continue, then it is simple. Get the girl, drain her of vervain, and compel her to forget about the supernatural, kill the Salvatores, the witch, Caroline, all the supernatural creatures around here. And then have Freya, Finn, Kol, and I place a barrier around the town of Mystic Falls that kills anyone that tries to enter the town if they have supernatural blood and also so that the doppleganger can never leave, nor her descendants as their bloodline will be unknowingly bound to this town for the next five hundred years until the next doppleganger is born."
They were all silent, watching their brother and son think. Then he smirked at his mother. "Well i see where Kol and I have gotten some of our more creative ideas over the years. Let's do it. They all die tonight, no mercy."
And that was the end to the Scooby gang, all but one dying, the doppleganger would live until she was late into her seventies and would die of heartbreak when Klaus removed the compulsion from her mind.
End flashback
Percy smirked at all of her children as she stood and stretched her body. Percy was adjusting her hat and people watching as she heard her children conversing with each other when it happened.
Sea green eyes squarely met those of liquid gold, making her breath whoosh away. Her mind immediately at the feel of an almost magnetic pull towards the man whose eyes did not waver from her, reflected back on a conversation she had had with Freya, Finn, and Klaus all those years ago after they had defeated Dahlia.
"You truly believe in that soulmate nonsense?"
"I do. All of the demigods and other soulmate pairings I've met have said the same exact things. They've all said that as soon as their eyes first met, they felt a type of pull towards each other that grew stronger whenever they were apart as they felt urges to find the other. They said that when they first touched, it was like nothing they could ever describe. They just knew immediately that they were meant to be together. And yes, some have fought it, fought the match that Cupid, Aphrodite, and Fate made but they can never resist it. The love for each other is like an inferno. And once you meet that one, you'll be complete."
The man was a few inches taller then Percy's own 5' 11" frame. He had dirty blonde, almost brown hair and a muscular build that drew many an eye. He was sucking on a sucker and there was a huge bag of them sitting next to him on his side table, and a growing pile of sucker wrappers and other empty candy wrappings in a trashcan. Even from across the pool, Percy could almost taste the power that seemed to emanate from him in waves.
"Mum?" Henrik asked concerned touching her arm, drawing her attention away from the man although she kept him in her sights out of the corner of her eyes.
"Yes, sweetie?"
"What's wrong? You just became very tense." By this time all seven were paying attention but luckily none had noticed what had happened or who had gotten her attention.
"It's nothing to be worried about, sweets. Now, if you'll excuse me, dear children, i have needs to scratch," she half-lied, already turning to head to the other side of the pool where the man was now standing and obviously waiting for her.
Kol caught her wrist gently. "Be careful, Mom. And do give one of us a call if you run into any type of trouble."
She patted his hand and kissed his head. "I will, dear, don't you worry. Now relax, my children, we are on vacation."
He released her after a small smile and Percy didn't even notice that her children didn't return to their previous activities but were instead watching her.
Percy finally reached the other side and came to a stop right in front of the man who immediately took her hand, causing a shiver of pleasure to shoot down her spine, and kissed the back of it.
"I have been waiting a long time for you," The man told her. Over the smell of the chlorine, she could smell an overwhelming amount of sugar, candy, and oddly enough, mischief, if mischief even had a scent.
"I guess we've both kept each other waiting long enough. My name is Persephone Sallydottir. And you are?"
"I go by a couple different names Trickster, Loki, Gabriel. But you, dear Persephone, may call me whatever you like. Because you are mine, as I am yours."
Percy smiled and surprised the man by reaching up and looping her hands around his neck, bringing him down the few inches separating them still and pressing their lips together. Percy sighed into the kiss. This was her other half, this was her Gabriel. The missing piece of her soul. One last thought popped into her mind when he deepened the kiss, she hoped her sons didn't kill or maim him.
The End
