Vesta's Child (Discontinued)

Chapter 14

"What do you wanna do today scamp?" She frowned and smacked his hand away playfully. She combed through her hair a couple of times before becoming deep in thought,

"I just want to spend the day with you and Nico."

Percy and Nico spent the entire day with Bianca swimming, fighting, going to amusement parks, watching movies, eating junk food, running around, dancing, and hanging out. It was the most fun the siblings had had in a while. It seemed as though Percy, Nico, and Bianca became closer then ever before as they spent many hours together. When the day was over Percy was sad he had to leave Bianca, he then brightened when he thought of seeing Zoe. Once they left Elysium Hades confronted them and gave them both hugs. He wasn't mad that his kids had broken the law to see their sister, he apologized for not being there once she died and explained that he was busy taking care of a serious problem. Percy nodded in understanding and didn't question his father while Nico glared at the ground, of all the children of Hades/Pluto Nico held the worse grudges. Hades felt bad about leaving his sons to mourn without him, he was about to speak but Percy beat him to it,

"Sorry, can we continue this conversation later? I've got somewhere to be." Hades eyebrows shot up at Percy's impatience, his son was always patient. Hades then smirked,

"Meeting a lady friend? Lemme guess, Apollo hooked you up?" Percy rolled his eyes while Nico looked appalled at his father. Hades grinned at his sons and slung an arm around each of their shoulders,

"Let your old man give you some advice, I am quite the charmer! I guess it's time to have that little birds and bees conversation." The brothers mouths dropped open comically and Percy quickly shadow travelled out of the underworld. Nico tried to but appeared two feet away since shadow traveling was the hardest thing for him to do. Hades calmly walked up to his youngest child and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder while repressing a smirk,

"Well Nico, when a bird meets a bee-"

"I HATE YOU PERCY!" Nico cut off the death god by screaming but Hades quickly resumed the conversation knowing it was torturing his son.

"Dear gods that was terrifying, I'd rather kiss Aphrodite." Percy grumbled and shuttered at the thought of kissing the over eager love goddess. He chuckled at the thought of Nico being trapped down there while their dad gave him the talk. He walked through the woods and saw Zoe sitting by the lake, the moon shined brightly over head and Percy approached her without making a sound. He was late and prayed she wouldn't be mad at him, but knowing his luck she probably would be. He sat down and bumped her with his shoulder,

"Hey Zoe." She gave him a sideways glance, maybe she isn't mad. Percy thought optimistically before she gave him a rough elbow to the stomach. He hunched over and tried to regain his breath while she glared at him,

"Your late." She hissed and anger boiled through her while he clutched his stomach,

"S-sorry, v-visiting Bianca w-with Nico." He wheezed and rubbed his now sore stomach. She felt guilty and her expression softened, he was visiting his dead sister with his little brother and she hurt him for it. She embraced his hunched over form,

"I'm sorry Percy, I'm glad you got to see your sister. You'll have to take me sometime." He straightened and gave her a peck on the lips,

"Will do!" She smiled and leaned onto his shoulder. They sat there for a while just enjoying each others presence. With Percy's ADHD he began to get bored as he twiddled his thumbs, he wondered if Artemis would spar with him anytime soon. Thinking of his eldest sister made him wonder if she would let him be with Zoe, speaking of Zoe he felt they needed to be with each other more. He started thinking of fun things to do when an idea worthy of Mercury appeared.
