Hey guys! Thanks for all the review and such for the first story! Don't forget to review on this one too and let me know what you think. As the Title of the new story states, it has been five years since Percy's last words. And so you all know you may notice some language 'issues' this chapter because it does have some cussing. If you all are offended please tell me and I'll stop doing it. I find that the cussing is necessary for it though. You'll see soon.
It has been five years to the day that I was given my car, right now it is in the form of a crotch-rocket motorcycle. A (insert name here) the reason why? When I woke up this morning I felt like riding a bike so I did.
It's been five years since I found out that Calypso upon her release from her island traveled to New York to find me. She came upon my mom's and my old apartment to from an old phone book that had my mom listed as Sally Jackson. She found out from the new apartment leasers that my mom had remarried and moved to a larger apartment.
She found my mom's new apartment about three weeks before my visit and my mom let her know that I would be back from 'vacation' in a few weeks. Calypso ended up staying with Paul and my mom for those weeks and surprised me when she saw me. Needless to say she's one of the family now.
It actually works out because Calypso has opened up a florist shop down the road from the apartment and whenever my mom needs a baby sitter for my half-sister Jessica, Calypso or Cali as Jessie calls her is a great baby sitter.
To answer your questions she and I aren't dating yet. It's been rough the past few years due to my training and when I help train the demigods, Clarisse especially. I have little time for dates because even though gods can be multiple places at once Hestia has demanded I not do that for a while. Not really sure why but anyway.
Today is the sixth year since I became a god and like I did the previous five years I went to camp to relax. However, relaxing is the furthest thing from my mind as I dodge yet another knife that is aimed at my neck.
"Good Clarisse, but remember…" Dodge again, "To fake the strike and counter…" I swing my knife to block another strike at my ribs, "My block. Don't just go straight for the strike." I say while having a 'friendly' competition. I say it like that because it had been friendly until she cut a part of my hair. I got a little sensitive about it last year and started growing it out. It was to my shoulders until she cut it. Now a chunk of it is three inches shorter than the rest.
"Stop trying to teach…" Clarisse dodges a strike from me, "me Jackson!" She must've lost concentration because I saw my opening and disarmed her. Then, with the speed of a wolf I flash my knife to her neck. She laughs and slaps my knife away and wrestles me to the ground.
Somehow between our wrestling and random punches I end up on top and grab riptide from my pocket and try to un-cap it. However, she has expected this and she knocks that away too. So now I am basically straddling her in front of camp with our faces mere inches apart. I realize our positions and just how 'excited' I am which she must notice by now and get up to walk away.
It's not the first time this has happened either. Clarisse and I duel every Saturday normally and it's a battle until the other quits. Since she is now under my tutelage instead of Chiron's now she is technically my only student. She still sleeps in Ares cabin but during the week I have work outs for her which consists of many long runs in the Appalachian Mountains. She has slimmed down quite a lot from her normal figure to extremely attractive. Not that she was ugly before but let's face it, the fact that she outweighed me in muscle mass was weird.
Now she has long lean muscles, which while we fight I can feel the power behind them. Every time we clash swords I get to feel her strength.
Anyways about three months ago I noticed that I actually found myself attracted to Clarisse. Which is weird, I have an overprotective Matron that I think I love, a girl back in my mom's home who I used to love, and Clarisse who all but hates me most of the time. Let's not forget about the girl who disappeared years ago either. I know she's alive because of my connection with Nico. I can use his power to see the dead. Confused?
Well about three years ago I noticed a pattern. Whenever I was with Apollo's children or Artemis' hunters I became better at Archery. When I was around Ares' children I became stronger and sounder in battle. When I was around Athena children, the little I was I became quicker in mind and thought more clearly.
I compare this godly power to X-men's Rogue except I don't hurt demigods. Hestia told me that as the God of Heroes I will have the ability to 'absorb' some of their powers. Not only can I get stronger but when I am around the children of other Gods and Goddesses the demigods become better and stronger as well. You see I strengthen them as much as they do me.
So this is why Clarisse can sometimes get really close to beating me in duels, her strength becomes scary strong and she tries to overpower me. When this happens I tend to 'cheat' and use one of my other godly powers.
Anyway all that to explain that my love life? Weird. My godly life? Difficult. Family time with the mortal or godly side? Nonexistent.
It's a difficult battle between training, training, training, and oh yeah training my wolf as well.
The wolf on my ring is no longer named Luna, her form changes depending on who is wearing the ring. For me, the wolf is male and his name is Tidus. However, if Artemis were to take the ring Tidus would turn back to his female form and adapt to her mind. Tidus is probably the only normal one nowadays in my life and he can change his sex. See what I mean by weird?
Anyway I walk away from Clarisse in front of the other campers and walk from the pavilion to the beach and the water. Water still calms me unlike anything else. I dive in fully clothed knowing I can 'will' myself dry at any moment.
I let the cool water 'calm' me down as I wade under the water. That's when I hear the *Splash* from someone's feet rushing in the water. I know who it is already. Clarisse La Rue. Knowing that she won't settle down until we talk I go back to the surface.
"What the hell Jackson?" She yells as I pop out of the water. Her glare tells me I messed up.
"What'd I do now?" The glare intensifies.
"What did you do? We were in the middle of a duel and you got up and walked away!" She said throwing her arms into the air.
"I was done fighting you. You've gotten better." I lie, she knows I don't 'give up' unless I've hurt her or something is wrong.
"Bullshit! When we were rolling around my thigh brushed you and you got a hard on. Don't quit fighting out of embarrassment Jackson." What was left of my dignity, is now gone. I try to think of a lie but nothing comes that makes sense. Then I think about it.
"Hold on, the fact that I quit is what bugs you? Not the why I quit but the fact that I did?"
She laughs and says, "Prissy, it's not like I don't know what 'it' is. I'm twenty-two now and have had my fair share of flings with guys at bars and such." She laughs and then says, "You're just the first one to be embarrassed that I noticed."
I made sure that the only thing I looked at was the lake water. "I'm not embarrassed Clarisse, it's the fact that I'm not sure how you feel. I can't date someone that doesn't like me. Plus, even if you did it'd be inappropriate because I'm instructing you." I finally looked at her and I saw a face. Not one of anger but of sadness.
"Why not Percy?" her voice was so unlike Clarisse. It was soft and frail, even though Clarisse was thin muscled now she never appeared soft. Right now I wanted to hold her, but again that'd be inappropriate. So instead I put an arm on her shoulder and she tried to smile at me.
I knew this would have to be gentle for the mood but I needed to stay firm about this. I used a nickname I came up for her once. No one else had heard it but us. It was special. "Clary, I do feel for you but right now with me being so busy I don't think it'd be fair to you."
She looked at me with anger and swam through the water to me. While hitting me she yelled, "Why not! You're a god Jackson! Start acting like one and stop being such a freakin pussy about it. If you want me then take me, if you don't then stop dicking around with my feelings!"
I looked at her at first with hurt. How could she say that? I would never hurt her like that. Then I thought about it, She's right. I need to start standing for what I want. And right now I want her.
With that I pulled her towards me with the currents from the lake. I lifted her chin towards mine, she wasn't crying but she was close. Without any more hesitation I kissed her. I know it's weird, I mean Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon and God of Heroes with Clarisse La Rue, daughter of Ares? Weird but at the moment I didn't care. I was in bliss and while kissing her I teleported us to my somewhat bigger room on Olympus. And that night I lost my virginity to Clarisse La Rue daughter of Ares, my apprentice.
After it was all said and done she got off of me and fell back on my bed. She moved so her head was on my shoulder her hand on my bare stomach. "You know Jackson, we didn't use protection. And well I'm not on the pill."
I apparently wasn't catching whatever hint she was trying to drop because she kept giving me this look. It said, 'Come on Prissy, you can't figure this out.'
Then it hit me.
Oh shit…
HA! So Percy had his first time with Clarisse. Weird I know! But please don't hate me for it! I just had to give a little love for Clarisse she's one of the characters I feel doesn't get enough love. Plus, Clarisse and Percy will cause drama down the road. Also you'll notice that I made mention of powers Percy didn't have but he now does.
For one he can control his 'full god' ness he isn't dangerous towards mortals in that sense. He can also teleport whenever he wants. His power about demigods is that he can use a demigod's power and multiply it. Like Apollo is the god of Prophecy and his children may have that gift now Percy has that gift and he makes the gift stronger for himself and the demigod.
Tidus is the new wolf, looks the same as before but is now full grown. He changed appearances for Percy, due to the fact that Percy is his owner and master; Luna changed into Tidus to fill what Percy needed.
I will have many different things in this book. For one there will be a war started. Two, Percy will have multiple flings in this book and I will go into details in one shots. Including one I just posted of when Percy met Hestia as a god for the first time.
Thanks again! Review!
