Chapter 15

Before you read this chapter please note I DO NOT own any songs I use. 

Nico's pov

As everyone was heading to bed, I found myself thinking about that girl Penny and what she had said. Maybe she was right, maybe she is Percy's sister, a child of Poseidon like which could possible considering Lord Poseidon, Percy and Penny have the same eyes.

I got to my cabin, got ready for bed and I got into bed.

Maybe I should give her a chance. I'll speak to her in the morning about it.

And with that I fell asleep.

Switch point of view to Penny.

As soon as my head hit to pillow I was sleep.

I dreamed that I was in my dad's palace. There was that his wife and his three godly children. Trident the two tails who doesn't like me, Kim goddess of violent sea storm and one more girl whose name I did not know.

'Hello.' I said nervously gaining their attention.

'So it's true.' Trident said sizing me up.

'Yes.' I said glaring at him. 'I'm happy with myself.'

The queen of the sea just looked at me.

'You make a very pretty girl.' She said before turning to her husband. 'Excuse me my Lord.'

'Yeah I've got things to do too.' Trident said waking out the his mother.

'Hi Kim and I don't know your name.' I added looking at the quite girl.

'I am Rhode, goddess of calm waves and sea road.'

'Lovely to meet you Rhode.' I smiled.

'You as well now if you would excuse us.' Rhode said pulling Kim out of the room.

'Persephone I think we need to talk.' Poseidon said.

'Okay dad.' I said nervously.

Once it was just me and him. I plucked up my courage and asked: 'What's up dad?'

'I wanted to talk to you about how I am going to claim you.'

'Oh.' I relaxed. 'I don't think I thought about it. Maybe I can get into a fight using the water that's how you claimed me last time.'

'Any other ideas? I rather not use the same reason twice.' Dad mused.

'Okay so maybe I do something with the lake.' I offered.

'We think of something but in the meantime I wanted to talk to you about your singing, I have no club you could sing that well.' Dad smiled proudly. 'And I'd love to hear more.'

'Do you have a request?' I asked with a shy smile.

'I do, I want to hear one of your original songs.' Dad grinned.

'Oh well, which one?' I asked thinking about which song he might ask me to sing.

'Good kid.' Dad said. 'Just a minutes I want to call everyone here so they can hear you.'

'Umm ... Okay.' I said hoping my stage fright wouldn't setting in.

Ten minutes later the court was filled with many dolphins, sharks, merpeople and family.

'Everyone we are here to hear my child sing.' Dad shouted.

The music started and I began to sing.

Six school in six years

Been kick out of every place

Everything I ever do is wrong

Never find where I belong

Everybody on my case

The same old story

The same old song

"Don't act up, don't act out

Be strong"

I keep my head down

I keep my chin up

But it ends up all the same

With "Pack you bags, Percy

You're always to blame"

I never try to do anything

I never mean to hurt anyone

I try, I try to be a good kid

A good kid

A good son

But no one ever will take my side

All I ever do is take the fall

I swear, I swear that I'm good kid

Guess I'm good for nothing at all

Gabe was a world class jerk

Dad was never there

There only family that really mattered?

Well, she vanished into the air

And now I finally find a haven

Someplace safe, where I say

Till it's

"Pack you bag, Percy

Now go, go away!"

I never try to do anything

I never mean to hurt anyone

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Yeah, Percy that's a good one

But no one ever will take my side

All I ever do is take the fall

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

Guess I'm good for nothing at all

All you get are bad grades

And a bum rap

And a bad rep

And a good smack

And no friends

And no hope

And no mum

She's taken away

I swear never stole anything

I never meant to hurt anyone

I swear, I swear that I'm a good kid

A good kid, who had a bad run

And all I need is one last chance

To prove, I'm good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone

I'm good enough for someone

One I was done just like at camp there was deadly silent.

'Oh come on.' I said. 'I'm not that bad!'

'Where do you get a song like that?' Trident yelled.

'It's the brain-child of an assigning for my music class and my creative writing class.' I replied quite proudly.

'Is that your only song?' Kim asked.

'No and all my songs are based on what happened when I was 12 with the lightning bolt fiasco.' I said a little nervously.

'Can we hear more?' Rhode asked.

'Maybe another time.' Dad answered for me. 'I'm afraid it's time for Persephone to woke up.'

There was a lot of grumbling and disappointed ohhs.

'Bye everyone.' I yelled out happily.

But before anything else could be said I woke up.
