Percy's POV

I stepped into the room and kneeled before him, for which he growled at me for.

"Percy you know not to kneel in-front of me, I don't like it, and you are my son." He said and I grinned looking at him.

"That's exactly why I do it," I said and he sighed, "Do you have any news I might need to hear or am I here because of how my first mission on the surface went?" He thought about it and conjured up a paper before making it float down to me, and I smiled.

"Really that's all?" I asked and he nodded, "I am going to kill these too quickly, there are truly no other assignments you have for me?" His face was blank and another paper appeared underneath. I slid it from under the small pile and put it on-top.

"Really, you have a legitimate demigod child?" I asked looking father in surprise. The black-haired, reddish eyed boy holding a poker stick in a rather un-gamely way towards someone off picture, I looked into the background and I saw that there was a cyclopes sitting near, but it didn't have any weapons and seemingly reacted as if the scene was normal. I read the info and subconsciously started pacing:

Daniel Groode (15) and Amelia Grand (14).
Stepsiblings by different women both of which are good friends in Mortal world.
Cyclopes Guardian (since birth) - Gladius (104)

Then it listed their high-school and other things that weren't as important and my head snapped back down to the two names not one.

I looked at the picture again and saw the silhouette of a girl with the same jet black hair same as the other boy but she was facing away from the direction of the picture, so I couldn't see her face. Then I looked at the area and I scoffed, of coarse they had to be in Vegas. They couldn't just be in Florida or California, no they had to be in Vegas and more than likely in The Lotus Hotel like Nico was.

I looked at Tartarus and smiled, "Now this is a good mission. I'll be back within a couple weeks or so." I flashed out leaving Tartarus just before he could tell me something else. I was really excited about this one and I decided to go after the bunch of Empusa first. I shifted into my wolf form and went to the spot they had gathered before heading off in one direction not even bothering to be careful of their tracks.

Just being the reckless, stupid creatures they were. I found them just as they entered an abandoned warehouse and when I stepped inside and saw them with their weapons out and pointed at me. When they saw that it was me they hesitated and it was a big mistake as I ripped out their throats and clawed them to dust not too soon after.

"Enjoy your stay in the arena useless scum," I scowled before shifting again and speeding off towards my next set of prey. I arrived at the Lotus hotel just as the moon began to peak out from behind a few clouds and shifted human again. I was going to go around acting like a pet or a stray animal but I figured that the roads would be slightly faster and took to the streets acting like a car. The glamour did its job and no one but the occasional teen and a few children noticed me.

I got to the front doors and the agent standing at the front didn't notice as I walked past him and slipped through the open the door. Once I was in the building all of the agents and waitresses subconsciously avoided me due to my aura looking or walking around me as I searched the place for the rest of the night.

Once I saw that they weren't there I walked out to the street, pulling out the sheets of my previous missions. I seperated the completed ones and burned them out in the open knowing that no one would be able to see what actually happened and would just assume that it was cigarette ash. I looked over the pictures again and decided to do something that I had been practicing for a while. I walked into a nearby hotel instead of running blindly down the street again and went into their main bathroom.

I touched the picture before placing the scene out like a 3d map in the room and I walked through trying to see anything that I might. I couldn't just go around the girl to see her face eyes, or skin, and I tried. So I just looked around the surroundings and face-palmed once I saw that they were in a bowling place. I focused more and the scene started to play out, and though it had no sound it was good enough as I saw the two kids get in a step fathers red SUV, and speed off and out of sight. The Cyclopes running to the front entrance dropping the pretzels he had in each hand. I came out of the 'vision' state and
walked out of hotel before shifting and taking to the roads again.

I first headed to the bowling place they were at to see if I could find anything useful. I immediately went to the pool area ignoring the shivers and fear of the monsters within the place as I looked around. As I walked past each one they sighed in relief and continued with what they were doing but still kept me in their sight.

I only knew I was in the right place because I smelled the scent of the cyclopes that was supposed to be watching over the two. My vision snapped to his figure and he shivered as he felt my gaze on him. I stalked up to him as he slowly turned around. Then he raised his hands in fear and innocence and I came to a stop not three feet from him.

"I-I didn't do anything I swear," he was going to say more but I froze his mouth shut and grabbed his head, "that's the problem" I growled before dragging him forcefully from the building. The other monsters around us were watching in awe and fear as I dragged the Cyclopes around by only his head and whispered their condolences. I pinned him against the wall of the building once we were outside and caused a large dent into the side of the place.

"I am not going to kill you. As long as you tell me where they are you stay alive." I said and his face contorted with confusion before his gaze turned to that of steel and his mouth remained closed. I forced him to kneel and put my knife away pulling out a sword
instead and pointing it at his head. He remained silent and looked at me with such a fierce determination that I almost felt bad for the guy failing his job.

"If your going to kill me then do it, I promised to protect them and I am not going back on my word.I protect those kids from people, no things like you. Things that just want to kill them, and I will die so they can live, especially from the likes of an assassin like you!" He roared and I was shocked. Shocked at the fact that he would do anything and give his life to protect the kids. Even from the one that was the second ruler of Tartarus and it's prince and heir, even if he didn't know that himself. I sighed and lowered my sword. I put it back in its sheathe before backing up and falling back upon nothing. The earth rose to form a chair from the asphalt as I rubbed my face with a hand.

"I'm too tired for this," I said groaning and his eye narrowed with confusion, he slowly stood looking to get away but I looked at him again with my Wolf glare. He froze in place and if it wasn't for my hearing I'd have thought he was dead. "I'm here to get the two to our father dumbass. I admire your determination to protect them both but I am their older brother, and have had a long day"

"Y-you're their brother?" I gave him a lazy thumbs up and continued to rub my face, "I thought I felt a similar connection between you and them but I don't know you and you are far more powerful than any normal demigod." He said and I stood up from my chair, let it be a mystery as to how an chair made completely from the road beneath it came to in the middle of the night.

"Okay once more I am not here to kill them," I said, "I swear on Chaos and the River Styx that I have no intentions of killing or harming my younger siblings." I said and thunder sounded.  The shadows around me swirled before everything went to normal and he sighed in slight relief slight anxiousness and I stuck out my hand. He took it and I helped him up from where he's fallen. Then I saw him look at the ground in guilt and shame.

"Well where are they?" I asked not particularly wanting to track them all that way back along the road. I saw him sigh again and then he told me the address that they lived in, and that he couldn't do anything to help them. I frowned, why would he say that last part. I shifted and allowed him to climb onto my back before shooting off their scents. Of which I got a whiff of thanks to the Cyclopes. Not soon after I was at a cabin built by a small lake with their own private dock. I dumped the Cyclopes off from my back and went to the front door to knock first.

Thanks for reading and I do want to say something now that I am rewriting this story.

I have realized that this may be more of a mature story than I first imagined, but the only thing I am really featuring is abuse and the dark moments that come with it. As well as torture, gore, and a few other things.

So if you guys think that I should add the mature tag please say so here

If you think I'm fine please comment here.

Revised: 2-28-22

P.S. - I will never have sexual abuse nor sexual moments. I want to keep this story in a moderately decent area of viewership.
Sadly this means that next chapter may be EXTREMELY modified.
