Chapter Sixteen
"He is the other brother"
I inhaled and let out a sigh. I really was excited to have a sword, I'm a really big fan of medieval weapons but I just noticed that there is a weight in this sword.
Annabeth walked by Sky and said in a soft tone, "Is it that you're afraid of taking away lives?"
I replied, "I don't like the idea of hurting others."
Percy said, "Well, that's normal I don't like to hurt anyone either…"
I replied fast, "That's not it! It's much more than that."
I waited a bit to continue, it was a short pause.
Sky said, "Please, tell us."
I continued, "When I hurt someone, I feel pain too. It just hurts, when I killed that Cyclops I felt the pain, I tried to ignore it and act like nothing happened. But it hurts." I took my hand up to my heart. You could feel the beating growing faster.
There was a low echo in my head saying, "I'm sorry."
I responded with my mouth instead of my mind, "What did you say Percy?"
Percy replied confused, "I didn't say anything."
I asked, "Then, who said I'm sorry in my head? It sounded older and sad."
Annabeth said, "Poseidon?"
Percy slowly said, "Yeah, it must be dad. But why would he say sorry? What did he do?"
Everyone looked at me.
I said, "It's has to be a curse, if I inflict pain I receive it back as punishment, what other reason is there?"
Sky puts her hand in my shoulder and said, "It must mean that you can't hurt others and that's a good thing."
She stopped and gave me a hug, she said "It's not a curse, it's a gift."
Annabeth later added, "It must be that Poseidon doesn't want you to hurt anyone, he cares for you that much, Right?" She looked at Percy.
Percy said, "I don't know, but maybe there's a reason why he gave it to him?"
Annabeth added, "You said that you could walk on water…"
She looked at me and said, "Correct?"
I replied, "Yeah."
Sky lets me go.
She continued, "And you can talk to Percy the same way gods talk to their children."
I said, "I guess so."
Sky looks at Annabeth, "What are you trying to say?"
Annabeth replied, "Nothing, I was just speculating, maybe I'm wrong."
Sky said, "You think he is a minor god?"
Annabeth agreed, "Yeah you just saw it yourself, he's pretty powerful, but monsters wouldn't go after gods even if they are minor gods."
Someone's phone started ringing, the ringtone was Barbie's song. "I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie world…"
Percy laughed and said, "That must be the lamest ringtone ever."
Annabeth started laughing so hard she was crying.
I laughed and went after the sound, it was next to Annabeth and Percy. As I got close to them, I found out the sound was coming out of Percy's pocket.
I laughed again and this time it was harder than before.
Sky laughed and said, "Percy that sound is coming from your pocket."
She kept laughing.
Percy reacted to what she said and looked for his phone. "What? I don't have a ringtone like that."
Annabeth said, "I messed with your phone while you were sleeping and changed some stuff."
She was laughing even harder now.
Percy found his phone and took it out, it looked like a little girl's phone. It had lots of fake gems and it was painted pink, the background photo was a red heart with a picture of Annabeth.
It was hilarious, all of us were laughing.
Percy said, "What the hell happened to my phone?"
Annabeth said, "It looks cute now."
Sky said, "That's so cute, can you teach me how to do that?"
Annabeth said, "Yeah, it's really simple, why do you want to try it too?"
Sky replied anxiously, "Yeah."
I'm a little afraid of her now. Wait, I didn't bring my phone to the camp, I remember I left it at home. I'm relieved I left it home.
Percy took the call and said, "Hello, who is this? I don't have my contacts so I have no idea who it is."
Percy reacted, "Oh hey, how you doing?"
Sky said, "Must be someone he knows."
I said, "Yeah, probably."
Annabeth got close to me and whispered into my ear, "Can you hear what he is thinking or saying?"
I said, "I guess I can try."
Annabeth said, "Thank you, he keeps getting lots of calls and when I ask him who it is he doesn't tell me."
Sky said afraid, "You don't think he's cheating on you?"
Annabeth replied, "No, but if he if cheating on me he knows what's coming, still I think it might have something to do with my birthday present."
I felt relieve cause it would end badly for him, I said, "Sure, I'll try."
I used water this time, there was a small puddle of water next to Percy and I turned it into a tube that went to me and next to Percy's head. He might not notice it if he's occupied.
I could hear his conversation, Percy kept saying, "Ok" and "Yeah that's fine"
He was talking to someone, it was a girl and there were some dogs barking, there were also people giving orders.
She said, "Don't worry, it will be done in 3 hours, tops. If you were here we could finish it faster you know?"
He replied, "I know but I can't let Annabeth find out so I took her to the camp and I think she's getting suspicious of my phone calls and…"
He looked to the right and noticed the flying water tube. He kept looking at it as if it was weird.
The girl said, "Hey, you there? Did something happen?"
Percy went to touch the tube and his finger went right through the water. I stopped concentrating, the water dispersed and fell back to the puddle.
Percy looked at me and came running. He grabbed my arm and we ran away behind a cabin.
Percy said to the girl in the phone, "Its ok, it's just my brother."
She said, "Oh, Tyson?"
He replied, "No, it's Danny."
She asked confused, "Who?"
He replied, "You will meet him soon, he's my other half-brother, he heard the conversation, I guess he knows."
I nodded as I heard him.
I said, "So you are cheating on Annabeth?"
He replied frantically, "I'm not cheating on her! I'm making her a birthday present in camp Jupiter."
The girl in the phone laughed and said, "Wow your brother is really funny, just like you."
There was a horse whining next to the girl and she said, "What is it boy? You want to see your other brother?"
He whined again and I could hear another girl next to her, this conversation was on speaker.
She said, "He's asking if he can visit the other camp and meet the other half brother.''
The girl with the phone replied, "He is another son of Poseidon."
She went right back to her phone, "Is it okay if Arion visits? He really wants to meet Danny too."
Percy said, "I heard what he said and tell him that he is not blue smurf that can do dog tricks, he really likes to insult other people." He looked at me while saying that.
I said, "I noticed."
I thought, "What kind of horse is this?"
That horse said some really bad stuff, not even I can come up with something that bad. I heard that he said, "Is he a sea shrimp?" and "Or maybe is he a talking sea moss?" there were lots more but I can't repeat those words.
Percy continued, "I guess he can come, but tell him not to give Annabeth any hints about her present."
The girl said, "Okay, we will continue as planned. Bye Percy."
Percy replied, "Bye Reyna."
I heard a loud canon or a rocket. It went right through the camp.
Percy and I looked away from the cabin and we saw Arion with Annabeth and Sky.
Annabeth said, "Hey Arion, it's been a long time. How is Hazel doing?"
The horse whined and shook his head, I understood what he said, "Fine, really fine. Do you have any gold?"
Percy whistled and the horse came running to us.
The horse talked and said, "Hello seaweed bread." He looked at me and said, "Who is the little pipsqueak?"
I said, "That is so cool…"
The horse was talking it was creepy but awesome, I was laughing since the horse was insulting us but I didn't care. Annabeth and Sky joined us.
Annabeth said, "Why is Arion here?" She was petting him.
Sky said, "He looks really majestic and cute."
The horse whined but I understood what he said, "Majestic yes, cute no way. I'm strong and beautiful."
I have no idea what does this horse have on his head, I just wanted to tell him that he is a horse, but that will not change the way he talks. Still no one else can understand him other than me and Percy. I guess that's a good thing.
The horse said, "Does anyone here have gold?"
Percy said, "I don't think there is gold here."
Arion said, "Aw crabs, I really wanted gold. So who is the little pipsqueak?"
I said, "I'm not a pipsqueak, my name is Danny."
Sky and Annabeth laughed.
Annabeth said, "Hey Arion can you tell if Danny is a god?"
Arion went to smell me, then he smelled my butt and I jumped forward.
I said, "Hey, what the heck are you doing?"
Arion said, "Smelling you to see if you are a god, but I don't smell anything different, you smell just like dad."
I said, "You aren't a dog so don't go smelling other people's butts without their opinion first."
Sky and Annabeth were having a blast, they were laughing so hard you could see they were crying.
Annabeth asked Percy, she was whipping her tears away, "So? What did he say?"
Percy replied, "He said that Danny smells just like dad."
Arion said, "So this pipsqueak is Danny."
I said annoyed, "Stop calling me pipsqueak."
