Hey this is my third fanfic. My first one I am still updating, the second one I deleted, while this will be my crown story. Well, if that's what you want. Because this is totally original. Oh by the way, HOO never happened. This is post- TLO. And it is completely changed.
Percy POV
I sighed. Living in the wilderness alone was sure boring. Me, the five-year-old hero of Olympus. Now, I know what you're thinking. Five years old? I am supposed to be eighteen.
Flashback
"Kronos! Submit! You will never win!" I yelled.
Kronos had taken over Luke's body, while Annabeth, who had been dating my half- brother, ever since he arrived, Grover and my useless half- brother Charles (No offense to any Charles' reading this) had fainted. Now, it was Kronos and I alone. He charged at me, and raised his sword above his head. Big mistake. I fired a bolt of water, and when he sliced through it, I pierced his heart. He fell to the ground, stunned. I grinned. His curse of Achilles had been burned off. I then started chopping him like crazy. He dissolved into a huge pile of sand, then when I thought I was done, he started reforming. He sent a bolt of energy at me, and I dispersed him with water. The damage was already done. I shrank down, pain erupting from my bones as they shrunk. I looked down on myself. I was a toddler. (Now, I know what you're thinking. He's five. But In TLO, he was sixteen. Two years have passed. Kay?) I ran behind Artemis's throne, and could only watch as the gods arrived and my friends woke up.
"Charles, what happened?" Poseidon asked.
"I fought off Kronos myself! Then I made him die. My friends here" Charles glared at them, "didn't help much, and Percy got disintegrated by Kronos." That backstabber! My friends couldn't protest as they blacked out before us. Poseidon's eyes filled with happiness, and roared, " Charles, I always knew you were good! You are my favorite son!" Zeus smiled, and boomed, "I always knew you were better than that Perseus!" As the gods drifted to their thrones to repair them, Artemis frowned and hesitated. She then drew her bow and pointed it at my general direction.
"Who is it? Come out!" She commanded. I had a sudden urge to do as she asked, but I knew Charles had turned the gods against me. Why would I want to do what Artemis says? I don't love her, do I? If I revealed myself, the gods would blame me for hiding and kill me, but if I ran…
I ran to the edge and jumped off. Artemis rushed to the edge, and peered over. To maintain my 'toddler' disguise, I stuck my tongue out at her. Her face showed ultimate fury as she stared at me plunging to my possible doom. ( And for those perverted people, no he was not naked. Artemis would not have stared, would she. Let's say his clothes magically shrunk.) I suddenly heard a voice in my head.
'Percy, this is Chaos.'
'The Chaos?' Wow.
'Yes…'
'Hello, sir…'
'Will you accept my blessing? If not, you will end up a very messy spot.'
'Yes! Hurry up!'
I suddenly grew small miniature cute bat wings and felt more powerful.
'Chaos! Why do I have cutesy wings!'
'Well, they were supposed to be scary, but you're a toddler.'
I shut Chaos out and spread my wings and landed in Manhattan Park (I don't live there I just thought of it). I guess I have to start living on my own now, or be vaporized.
End flashback
So here I am, living in the wilderness. Alone. I trained so hard, I am better at sword fighting and can shoot a bulls eye with a bow. At first, monsters tried to attack me, but with Chaos's blessing they learned to run far, far away. Shame. I liked their company.
'Hey Percy, how are you doing.'
'Fine, a bit lonely.'
'Well, not anymore. Someone's going to find you.'
'What!'
'Awww, don't worry, in your five year old form they won't know you.'
'Why can't I use my powers to turn back?'
'Your not powerful yet.'
I ran into my tent and started packing. Why, of all the times, did they have to come now?
Thalia POV
"Phoebe, have you noticed the distinct lack of monsters earlier?"
"Yeah, its like something powerful that scares the monsters is living here."
Percy had been dead for 2 years. No one stopped to mourn him but his still- loyal friends, Chiron, Apollo, Hermes, Hestia, Hades, Artemis, and the minor gods. Not even Poseidon. I knew that Percy had defeated Kronos cause I was stuck under that statue, and I could hear them yell. Charles had gone silent, which he never does. So, he was either knocked out, or had duct tape on his mouth. It was probably the first. But Percy, he was shouting like crazy. Then, Kronos yelled in pain. Percy must have killed him. But, Percy then started screaming in pain. He must have died. No one believed me but the hunt.
We suddenly stumbled into a clearing where there was a tent. We took our bows out.
"Who's out there? Show yourself!" Phoebe yelled.
A little five-year-old walked out, fear in his eyes. When he saw us he looked panicked, but then ran away. I ran after him. This little guy can really run. Finally, I caught up with him. He was surrounded by monsters. As he took out a pen, I realized with a shock that it was Percy's sword. I could not let him die. I needed to know if Percy was alive.
Percy POV
Thalia chased me around, and I had to cross the monster boundaries. In an instant, monsters surrounded me.
"Hello there, Kiddie." The monster smiled. Oh no. Thalia ran into us. With a shaking hand, to disguise myself as a normal kid, not Percy Jackson, I took out riptide. I heard Thalia gasp. Great. Way to blow my cover, monsters. I moved into a ready position. Suddenly, Thalia rushed in front of me and began slaughtering the monsters. Silver arrows flew past me and disintegrated monsters. I charged into a whole crowd, and sliced without a care in the world. Monsters ashes flew past me. I only wanted to get out and run. Unfortunately, Artemis caught up to me and grabbed my hand.
"Where are you going, boy." She hissed at me.
"N-nowhere, miss." I stuttered, still getting over the fact that Artemis was holding my hand. I hope I wasn't blushing.
"You're coming with me."
We walked back to the hunter's camp. Artemis's eyes narrowed as she glared at me.
"Where did you get that pen?"
I thought fast.
'Chaos, can I send thoughts?'
'Yes, why?'
'Nothing.'
"It fell out of the sky, ma'am. I took it and it spoke to me."
"Give it back. That was from my dead friend." So she considered me a friend, huh? I was pretty sure I was blushing like crazy now. Come on, I don't love her… and if I did, I'm too young… and if I aged to before, would she love me?
I passed her Riptide. I concentrated really hard, then sent her a mind message.
'Give the boy Riptide, Artemis. He needs it.'
She gasped, dropped the pen and stuttered, "P-percy?"
I grinned, and picked up the pen. The hunters arrived back, and examined me. I stared at them. I had a feeling my wolf glare wouldn't work so well. Artemis regained her composure, and asked me, "Who are your parents?"
I thought fast. "My mom died when I was 3, miss. My Stepfather killed h-her by pushing her down the s-stairs. I never knew my dad. Mum said he died while protecting us from gangsters. Who are you?"
Artemis looked at me with pity, then said, "Come with us. We'll take you to a safe place. Its called camp- Half Blood."
I sighed. I would have to go back to camp? Fine. I went back to my camp to pack. It was night, but I couldn't sleep.
As the sun rose up, a chariot appeared. Apollo's voice rang out. "Hey little sis. Who's the lil' kid?"
Artemis glared at him. " Just take us to camp."
After we boarded the bus, I sat down. A sharp object poked my butt. I yelped and jumped up. On the seat was a thumbnail, with a note that said, 'From the hunters'
They laughed like crazy. Two can play at that game. I gave them my best wolf stare, which surprisingly they flinched at. I raised my hand and shocked them with lightning. Zeus will probably kill me, but who cares? They started to smoke and get up, wanting to kill me. I took a lesson from younger, or older I guess, me. I grabbed the wheel from Apollo and swerved. The hunters yelped in surprise and was tossed into their seats.
"You guys remind me of Grover…" Oh shit.
"You know Grover?" Artemis's eyes narrowed. Crap.
