《Secrets (PJO/TW Cross Over)》Chapter 2~Panic
Advertisement
I woke up with a jolt. I was dreaming of when my mom died. I slowly got up. My body had a dull ache. I began to freak. I looked around frantically.
"Where-where am I?!" I said as I began to get up. I saw a boy, around my age, come running around the corner.
"Your okay, your okay. What do you remember?" He asked.
"Scott, Derek, and Lydia? Where are Scott, Derek, and Lydia?" I asked.
This has something to do with demi-gods. I may have known about being one, but I didn't know anything else.
"Stiles, I need you to calm down. Scott, Derek and Lydia can't come through here" The boy said.
"W-why?!" I asked.
"The barrier. Your at camp half blood." He said.
"All I remeber was driving to my dad's after...I-I have to leave. Now! People know. I'm gonna die!" I said.
"Your gonna be okay. Your safe in here. What do you know about the demi-god world?" He asked.
"All I know is that I'm 1/3 human and 2/3 god, and if anyone found out, I would be in great danger." I said.
"Well, my name is Percy, Percy Jackson." The boy said.
I nodded and gave a small smile.
"Stiles. You already knew that." I said and Percy chuckled.
"Are you done talking to the new boy?" A girl with pretty brown hair and grayish blue eyes came walking in.
"Ummmm, right here" I said sarcastically.
"Sarcastic, nice. So, how ya feeling?" She asked.
"Oh, I'm annabeth by the way." She said quickly.
"I'm okay. Little sore...." I responded.
"Your lying." Annabeth said.
"What?" I asked.
"Annabeth..." Percy said with caution.
"What is she talking about?" I asked.
They looked at each other.
"Tell me!" I yelled.
"You were ummm....yelling about your mom and crying in your sleep. We don't know what happened through" Percy said quickly.

I looked down and nodded. I knew they wanted to know how she died.
"Frontal dementia. Died 4 months after she was told. Slowly lost her mind." I said bluntly.
"This might be a bad time to tell him" Annabeth whispered to Percy.
"I can hear you. Tell me what?" I asked.
"Y-your dad has been taken. By Hades. He said that you have 10 days, now 7, to come trade yourself in or he dies." Percy whispered.
My mouth dropped open. Tears came to my eyes but I pushed them back.
"Ummm...I-I need to see my friends! I'm sorry, I have to go" I was breathing heavily.
I knew I was about to have a panic attack. And to make it worse i haven't taken my pill.
"Are you okay?" Annabeth asked.
"He's on the verge of a panic attack. Are you guys retarted?" A boy with dark skin and horns came walking in.
"A-addrenal." I said. Trying to not have a panic attack.
"Addrenal? That's for ADHD" Percy said.
"It doesn't matter now. Why is he struggling?" Annabeth asked.
"He's trying not to have a panic attack. My god you guys are so stupid!" The dark skinned boy yelled.
"Think about something else. Friends. Fam-no not family. Ummmm, we need one of his friends!" Annabeth yelled.
"They just got the wards down so they can come in." The dark skined boy said.
"Well go get them, we don't know how to do this!?" Percy said.
The boy ran out of the room.
I felt my breathing become heavier. My lungs burned. I was having a panic attack.
"Is this the panic attack?" Percy asked.
"Y-Yeah! A-am....i-gonna...d-die?" I stuttered out as I felt my world become dizzy and I slightly shut my eyes.
"No! Keep your eyes open! GROVER! GET THEM IN HERE!" Percy yelled and Grover, Scott, And Lydia came running in.
Scott and Lydia ran over to me.

"Stiles. Your okay! Count to ten with me." Scott said frantically.
"1-2...3....4-5. I-it not...working...I-I can't focas." I choked out.
"I got this" Lydia said.
Lydia sat in from of me on the ground.
"Shhhh. Your okay." She said.
She looked at me frantically. Then all of a sudden she kissed me. I kissed her back. My eyes widened and I pushed back.
I began to breath normally.
"How the hell did that work?" Scott asked.
"Worked once, would work again" Lydia said awkwardly.
"Again?" Scott asked.
"Well, remember the whole thing where my dad, your mom, and Allison's dad were going to be sacrificed. Well I had a panic attack and Lydia...kissed me." I said awkwardly.
Before Scott could answer Percy began to talk.
"Wait, are you guys dating?" He asked.
"No!" Me and Lydia said at the same time.
"They like each other" Scott said.
"No! We don't!" Me and Lydia said again.
"Stiles, you have loved Lydia science 3rd grade!" Scott said and started laughing.
"Yeah! She already knows that" I said and Lydia just smirked.
"True and I guess ever sence the nog-nevermind!" Scott said.
I don't like to talk about the nogistune. Ever sence it happened, I really wasn't myself. I still blamed my self for Allison and Aiden.
"Yeah, Lydia really wouldn't like me after I killed her best friend and new boyfriend!" I said knowing what Scott was thinking.
"Wasn't your fault!" Scott said.
"Scott, I killed your girlfriend...hell, your soulmate!" I said.
"I have no idea what you guys are talking about. But you killed someone?" Percy asked.
"Yes. It's a long story. But it wasn't his fault. He was possesed by a Japanese spirit. Yeah, it sucked." Scott said quickly trying to dismiss the subject.
"Look, I really don't want to talk about that! What about my dad?" I asked twiddling my thumbs and shaking my leg.
"Oh...I get it now!" Annabeth yelled.
"What?" I asked.
"You have ADHD...that's Why you kept saying addrenal. I feel stupid!" She said.
"Thafs because you are!" Grover said laughing.
"Yes I have ADHD." I said.
Scott handed me a pull and smimed.
"I grabbed your pills." Scott said with a smirk.
I have him a weird look and took the pill.
"So what about my dad?" I asked.
"You don't have any training. You have to talk to Chiron." Grover said.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"Right here boy" a half man half horse came in.
"What the hell?" Me, Scott, and Lydia said at the same time.
The guy who I'm gonna say was Chiron ignored us.
"Can I speak to the boy. Alone" he said in a friendly tone.
Everyone left.
"What do you want to talk about?" He asked.
"My dad, what are we gonna do about my dad?" I asked.
"Well you have no training, so you can't go. But we could send someone to find him?" He said.
"Why cant I find him?" I asked.
"You remind me of Percy. Determined...but a pain in the ass" he said.
"I run with freakin' wolves, a banshee, a kinstune, and a hellhound. I pretty sure I can handle it." I said with a sarcastic tone.
"You have no idea what Hades can do, he can go into your mind and make you go insane." He said and I just shrugged.
"I have already gone crazy once. I was possesed by a nogistune. I think I can do this" I said.
"I don't care what you think, you will not leave here. You will train. Stiles, we will do everything we can to get him back." He said.
I was mad. "Whatever." I said and I walked out.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
