Chapter 3
Petunia opened the door to get milk from outside when she realised there was a basket with a baby in it. She quickly got the basket , looked around to see if there was any neighbour of hers. She rushed inside with baby in the basket and realised there was letter in it. She was reading the letter when Vernon came down stairs.
" What's wrong Petunia, why is there a baby in the house?" he asked. Petunia who was crying silently to not to wake Percy and Dudley up replied:
" You know my sister Lily , she got killed with that wretched husband of hers!"
"Apparently she had a son, whose in the basket right now."
Vernon who wasn't used to see Petunia cry was silent for a moment , trying to comfort his wife. He asked " Is he one of their kind? If he is I don't want Dudley to be them too."
when his wife calmed down. Petunia who was cooking at the moment replied
" He is but I think if we don't talk about IT it might dissapear?"
At that moment Dudley started to cry so she went to take care of him leaving Vernon and Percy behind .
When Perseus is seven
Percy knew that there was something that made him different than others. For example when he was five , he turned his teacher's hair blue or that time where he swore that he saw a man with one eye. He also knew that he wasn't a easy kid, having Adhd and dyslexia. He knew that the water healed him, and even if there wasn't water he still healed faster than others. Percy was smaller than the average but he was also faster and more agile. He could read Latin easier than English but he didn't know why.
One time when Dudley was chasing him with his "gang" he stumbled upon the library . Knowing Dudley wouldn't step here he quickly hid behind the shelves . When they were gone he checked where he was . He was in the Mythology section that wasn't what shocked him . It was the fact that he could reead one of those books without it making the words swirling around . He quickly looked around and grabbed the book not realizing it was greek. He became fascinated with some of the myths and some disgusted him. He wondered
" Why would the gods do that "
" Oh thank the gods I wont have to fight with it"
" That's cool, I wish I was able to do that"
When he finished the book it was already noon. He hadn't realised the time . He rushed to home , thinking
" Oh gods , Aunt Petunia is going to kill me"
He forgot that they were going to America tonight. Vernon had been promoted and the company needed him for external affairs. Of course they didn't want to take Perseus with them but they had no other choice. They were packing as he went inside.
"Boy ; go grab your bag ,take your clothes." yelled Vernon angrily. Percy grabbed the bag he readied before rushing out to go inside of the car .He was about to sit when Vernon pulled him by the collar.
" You will not cause us any trouble, do you understand boy?
If you make any trouble or any of that freaky business then there will be a punishment waiting for you. "
Percy , who just wanted to go, replied :
" I understand uncle Vernon. " . Vernon let go off Perseus as they headed to car.
They arrived to airport bur Perseus was starting to feel uneasy. Of course he didn't tell anyone about this even if he did no one would care. Something in his gut was telling him this flight would change his life and he didn't know it yet. While they were in the plane he felt anxious but tied it to the fact he was riding a plane for the first time .He slept for the rest of his flight .
He was awoken by Dudley yelling in his ear. Perseus told Dudley that he was awake and that there was no need for screeching like harpys. He was pretty sure harpys were better than Dudley but he didn't tell him that. Before Dudley could reply the plane landed and they grabbed their bags.
They went their hotel in New York and settled in. Vernon and Dudley quickly went for the buffet , Dudley was eating like a pig and Vernon was complaining about Americans and their food . Petunia found a way to make Perseus feel suffocated as he didn't want to be stuck in a room with her screeching, he quickly went to buffet. He grabbed a plate and served himself some food since it was included in the price they paid. He sat across Dursleys as he didn't want to be seen. It was close to midnight so they headed towards to their room.
When they woke up Vernon was at the meeting , so Petunia took Perseus and Dudley to visit monuments . Dudley saw dessert and wanted to try out and Perseus had to use the restroom so he informed his aunt that he was going to use it. His aunt gave a nod although he wasn't sure if it was a alright I know you'll be there or go I don't want to deal with you right now nod .
He went to restroom and he saw a blonde girl who had hammer and two teenagers , a boy with blonde hair and a dagger and some gears (?) and a girl with a sheild and spear. He thought he was hallucinating as the blond haired girl attacked the guy and the guy disarmed her. He saw the teenagers assuring the blond girl and gave her the dagger. That's when he decided to speak
" What's up with those gears and why are you guys hurt ?"
They looked at each other and they were whispering to themselves. He could only make out " demigod" " clear sighted" .He was about to ask more but the blonde girl spoke first.
" Do you have Dyslexia or Adhd ?" And Perseus was shocked , he didn't know how they knew about it so he nodded.
" Is there any problem with it? " he asked slightly offended since the the girl spoke rudely. The blonde guy asked
" Did something happened to you that you couldn't explain ?" Perseus nodded his head again.
The kids glanced at each other and nodded . Black haired girl spoke first.
Alright there is no way to soften this so I'm directly telling you , you are a demigod, the Greek gods exist, all those myths were true. "
