"Phew... we're safe..." I said. Percy smiles happily and pulls me into a tight hug. I laugh happily as I return his hugs.

-Power Awakens-

Y/N P.O.V

"Let's head back to camp now..." I said, smiling at my friends. They nod their heads in agreement. We turn around, only to see a spear pointed at us... well, at me.

I glare at the person as I realize who they are. "Luke" I said. He smirks at me. "Well well well... thank you for making my job a lot easier, sis..." he said. "Don't call me sis!" I said. "We have the same father... so?" He said, looking at me with an amuse grin. I just roll my eyes at his words.

"Now hand it over..." he said, out stretching his arm for the Golden Fleece that Annabeth is holding. "You want the Fleece? You're gonna have to go through me" I said. I reach inside my pocket and take out my expandable staff.

He burst out laughing as he saw my choice of weapon

He burst out laughing as he saw my choice of weapon. I just look at him with an emotionless expression. His friends soon joins in, laughing along with him.

"Really? That's your choice of weapon? A staff? What makes you think it can do damage on me?" He said. I roll my eyes and turn towards a rock. I swing my staff, shattering the rock into tiny pieces.

I turn back to look at him, to see him staring at me wide-eyed. "You were saying?" I said, smirking at him. He blinks at me, then stands on fighting stance.

Then we start fighting. I lost my footing and two of Luke's men caught me, they hold my wrist on each sides. Luke laugh at my defeat as he walks towards me.

"You're strong... but not strong enough..." he said, patting my cheek softly. I just growl at him. This is the times where I wish I have mom's ability to turn people into stone.

Tyson lunges forward as he tries to help me. But he got shot in the chest with an arrow. He stares at me. I can see the pain reflecting in his eyes.

"Tyson! No!!" I screamed as he falls backward and down the cliff. I clench my hands into a tight fist. I won't let my friend die in vain. I WILL avenge his death.

"Come on Percy... is the Fleece more precious than your girl? Hand it over... and I'll let her go..." Luke said. One of his man walks towards, pressing a knife on my neck. As two of them holds my hands from either side.

My hair is down, covering my face. Then I can feel myself turning. My hair turns into snakes. I look up at the person holding the knife and glare at him.

He lets out a gasps as he turns into a stone. I look at the others as they back away, looking at me wide-eyed.

"M-Medusa!" One of them screamed, pointing at me. I glare at him and he turns into stone as well. "I am not Medusa... I am... in fact... her daughter..." I said.

But I can feel exhaustion coming. My eyesight starts to get blurry. Then I turn back into my normal form. I pant heavily as I try my best to stay awake.

"Y/N! Watch out!!" I hear Percy screams as he try to break free from the grip. I turn around, only to see a bat hitting me on my face. The pain is too much that I lose my consciousness completely.

Time-skip

Percy P.O.V

They tie us up against a pole. I turn my head to look at Y/N. Her head is down. Now everyone knows her true identity.

I turn my head to look at Luke. He stands on a on top of a stage. "Finally... My Lord... you will rise once again..." he said. "Don't do this, Luke!" I screamed. He just ignored me, and cover it with the Fleece.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I can see Y/N moving slightly. "Percy?" She said. "Y/N..." I said, out of relief.

Y/N P.O.V

I know that I have open my eyes. But no matter how hard I try to look. It's pitch black. "Percy... why is it so dark?" I said, panic begins to rise inside me. One of my fear is to lose my sense of sight.

"They blindfold you Y/N. They're worried that you might turn more of them into stones..." he said. I relax a little, feeling glad that I'm not actually blind... that my eyes are covered in handkerchiefs.

"Since I can't see... can you tell me what's going on?" I said. "Luke just place the Fleece on the Titan lord's remains..." he said. "We have to do something then! We can't waste anymore time... or he will rise!" I said. "We know Y/N... we just don't have any ideas" Annabeth said.

"Well... you're the leader, Percy... so?" I said. "Uhh... since when? And who pledge me to be the leader?" He said. "Since now... I nominate Percy to be the leader..." I said, raising my hand. "Me too..." Grover said. "So am I..." Annabeth said. "Clarisse?" I said, since I haven't heard her said anything. "Fine... I also want Percy to be our leader..." she said. "Great! Thank you..." I said.

"So? Percy?" I said. "I got it..." he said. Soon I can hear his clipping sound and the sound as it turns into sword.

I flinch when I feel hands on my head. Then the handkerchief comes off. But I still close my eyes. "Hey... it's okay. You can open your eyes, Y/N..." Percy said. I shake my head at what he said. "No! I don't want to risk turning you into a stone..." I said.

"It's going to be okay... you're in your normal form now..." he said. "But..." I said. "It's okay..." he said, reassuringly. I open my eyes slightly. "See it's okay!" He said, smiling at me. I smile and wrap my arms around his neck.

"Um... I hate to ruin your moment... but we have to stop Luke from resurrecting the Titan lord..." Grover said. "Oh right..." I said, pulling away from Percy.
