《Son of the Council》Beef For Brains Gets Sally, Should I care?

"Mr Jackson," Chiron muttered, "what is going on in here?!" I could feel his surprise as it emanated around him. I smirked over at him and told him the obvious. "Well I just killed that Fury that accused John of being the lightening thief, honestly that is impossible since he is too much of a wimp to do it. So I stepped in and saved his ass as you, obviously, walked in and saw. I think that's what happed Chiron." I emphasised his true name to shock him even more, and it worked. "H...H...How do you know?" He stammered out, obviously shocked that I already knew about the mythological world. "Well my parents told me, I've known for a long time. And you thought John," I pointed to his crumpled body as he began to stir, "was the special one, you thought the one that faints at the first sight of a Fury was the one of the prophecy? Don't make me laugh." I smirked at him as he physically took a step back. Taken aback at my words, Chiron thought for a moment and told me to take John home and tell Sally to take us to camp. I looked over at John as he sat up and I snorted one final time before I picked him up by the back of his shirt and dragged him from the room and walked out of the museum.
I thought I would be able to quickly travel back to the apartment with John and make my way to camp, but apparently not. Grover ran after us and demanded that he come with us, he thought I was some sort of ancient monster so he followed us and eventually I let him set next to me. John was in the set in front of me, his teeth still chattering from shock. "You know, I am his protector and if you try and do any.." Grover began to threaten me before I stared at him with my 'wolf stare' and he immediately shut up and cowered away. Somehow, he seemed to shrink in height even more (A/N because I was told satyrs are short), as he tried to curl up into a ball. Either Grover was even more of a
scaredy-goat than I thought he was or being a son of Tartarus helped scare him silly. Amused I laughed at his fear and turned away. Through the rest of the journey I could feel Grover staring at me, his eyes boring in to the back of my head and yet I didn't feel anything wrong, just a small annoyance caused by the satyr.

It wasn't long before we reached or stop and we got off, just like before I saw the fates sat across the street but this time they waved and winked at me and then they vanished. I forgot that they were the daughters of Nyx so I guess that makes them my sisters? Honestly, that's even weirder to think about than I am related to the GIANTS! I know, weird right? Anyway, Grover stared at me and then the place where the fate were sat moments ago and had a confused look on his face. Obviously he knew who they were but he had no idea why they would be nice to me. Anyway, we approached the apartment complex and quickly climbed the stairs to Sally's apartment. As usual, Gabe's friends were round and playing poker but when they saw me walk through the door they made excuses and soon I saw them running out the door. Gane was angry that his friends left him and shouted "Cowards!" and turned to me. Oddly, he seemed a lot like Grover when he shrank away and left the room. Immediately, Sally ran over to her 'baby boy' and checked if he was all right, he was still pale from fainting earlier, and demanded me to tell her what happened. "Well he fainted after a Fury accused him of being the lightening thief, stupid I know, and then I jumped in and saved him. Oh, also Chiron says we need to go to camp so we should probably head off now." With that I walked into my room leaving Sally to gently ask John to go and pack a bag. I knew I wouldn't be coming back here so I only grabbed some socks and underwear, a pair of trainers and the memory sweets, it was then that John walked in with a dazed look on his face and packed a bag full of clothes and underwear and within a few minutes we were all walking towards the car and drove to the highway that would take us to Long Island.
Honestly, if the past few weeks before I was adopted never happened, the time in that car on the way to Camp
Half-Blood was the worst few hours of my life. John kept asking about his father *cough cough...Poseidon...cough cough* and Sally got a dreamy look in her eyes and talked about how handsome he was and how he loved John and her very much but he had to leave. She said he didn't want to but he was forced to by his 'boss' and got lost at sea. While she said this John looked at me and smirked at me, I could almost hear him saying "Hah, my dad loved me and yours left your mother and they are both dead now." I just rolled my eyes and looked out the window, little did he know I had 14 loving parents that would love me more than anyone had in the previous timeline. Except maybe Thalia. The only person I thought about through that entire journey was Thalia. Her beautiful face, her hair, her personality and her body. To think for years that I followed around Annabitch while somehow staying completely oblivious to Thalia's feelings, I'm such a sea-weed brain. I stopped my day dreaming when I felt the car stop as we came upon the forests that surround Camp, we got out and just walked past the tree line when a roar bellowed around us. Old beef for brains had found us and began his charge as soon as we saw him. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?" John screamed, sounding like he was gonna piss himself. "RUN!" Sally shouted to him and Grover as she started to drag them through the woods towards. Did she leave me!? I slowly jogged after them, not scared of the monster behind me in the slightest and watched as it approached us.

I easily caught up to the trio to the disbelief of Grover, and we saw Thalia's tree appear at the top of Half-Blood Hill. With new found hope, Sally ran faster, pulling John with her as he got into the rhythm of running. In the time it took them to get halfway up the hill, the Minotaur had caught up to us and was reaching out for John, Sally shoved John out of the way and was grabbed by the monster. As she screamed in pain, she exploded into a golden light and disappeared. "NOOOOOOOOO!" John shouted, but he didn't stay and fight the monster. No, instead he ran away up the hill and inside the border, leaving me and Grover alone. To be fair, Grover didn't know that I was trained and ready for battle so he ran off towards safety while I just stood my ground and simply pulled out my new pen, clicked it and Hell Raiser appeared in my hand. I immediately charged the beast and stabbed him through the heart, causing him to burst into dust. After that I picked up the horn and walked up to camp.
The first thing I saw was a group of kids crowded around John who had once again fainted. Honestly how was he the fabled 'Son of Poseidon' and he couldn't even look at a Fury or a Minotaur without fainting. Then I saw a flash a blonde hair knelt over him, checking his vitals. It was her. I glared over at her until she looked up and saw me, I laughed when he fell onto her ass in surprise. "Hey can someone go get Chiron, otherwise the idiot on the ground might have some problems." I said to all of them as they turned around with a mix of anger and surprise when they saw a new camper trying to boss them around. "And who are you to boss us around?" Annabitch asked me, sarcasm lacing her words.
"Well, my name is Percy Jackson and that over there is my adopted brother John Jackson."
"Ok, but still, how do you know so much about us. Since you are a new camper you shouldn't know who Chiron really is or....wait is that the Minotaur horn?! How did a new camper kill a Minotaur?!" Annabitch questioned me in shock.
"Well, obviously, my parents told me. My godly ones that is." I told her as Chiron galloped up the hill to see what was going on. "Wait, so you know who your Godly parent is? Who?" She questioned me, surprise evident in her voice.
'Moms, Dads, I think it might be time to claim me now' I called out in my mind. 'Of course son, just doing it now' they all answered in unison. Immediately, I was bathed in a dark red light as a symbol that was made up of a circle surrounded by 14 symbols appeared above my head. Chiron almost fell over in shock and looked as white as a sheet. "No.,no no no no NO," he muttered while slowly getting louder, "this isn't possible."
"Chiron," Annabitch asked in confusion, "who is his Godly parent?"
"Al...All hail Perseus Jackson, Son of the Primordial Council." He looked at me in fear as did the rest of the campers, I smirked and rolled my eyes at their reaction. As I walked away towards Hermes Cabin to see Luke, I wondered what the Olympians reactions would be to the reveal of my parentage.
A/N should I have different character POVs or just stick to Percy, let me know.
