"Told me what?" Little Percy started to look weary now.
'Is he nervous?' Percy wondered, 'of course he's nervous, why wouldn't he be? A strange guy just showed up one day asked him about his life history and then offered to kidnap him….wow I sound like a weirdo.'
"Well you see little Percy I am technically your….ah...let's see here Pan is Hermes's kid, Hermes is Zeus's kid, which would make Hermes my cousin...ah… oh forget this! I'm your cousin, there, let's keep this simple."
"Wait, you're my cousin?!"
Percy nodded, "yup, on your dad's side."
"You know my dad?!" Little Percy jumped up and was on his feet, "who is he?! Where is he?!"
Percy shrugged, "I don't know where he is, no one does. But I do know who he is. His name is Pan, the greek God of the Wild."
Little Percy blinked, "my dad….is a god?"
Percy nodded, "yup. And that makes you a demigod kid."
The child of Pan looked at Percy in amazement, "bu-but that's impossible! I can't be a-be a God!"
"I said demigod kid," Percy repeated, "there's a big difference between a god and a demigod. And yeah, you are. Tell me mini me, have you ever felt...I don't know, different? Like does words confuse you? Have you ever felt unhappy sitting in one place, away feeling like you needed to jump around and do thing?"
Little Percy's eyes went wide as he nodded, "yeah but I was told that was because I was, dys-dys, ah dys-"
"Dyslexic, yeah we all are," Percy said sighing, "it's both a curse and a blessing, believe me, one time I mistook dog for god and believe me I pissed off a lot of people because of that."
"B-but I can't be-wait, my dad is goat?!"
"Half goat," Percy explained, "he's basically a Satyr, half man, half goat. A little more on the goat than man, and I should know, I had one for a roommate for a year but did that guy smell like wet goat a lot."
"But how do you know I'm a demigod?"
Percy shrugged, "it's a gift i got from my dad,"
Lie successful!
"Basically I can sense out people like us and tell who their godly parents are."
"But how I be a demigod?" Little Percy asked still skeptical, "I can barely beat off my cousins!"
Percy sighed, "there's a lot more to beginning a demigod than just being able to kick ass, sure it's a huge part of it, but still just a part. And as for proof…..well let's see, son of Pan so….. Ah ha! Okay how about this, have you ever felt connected to the forest? Like does being in one make you stronger?"
Little Percy thought about it for a few second before nodding, "yeah, I do. Plus I some times when I hide in here Justin and Greg can't find me, sometime I'm right in front of them and they can't see me!"
Percy nodded, "that's your divine side protecting you mini me. Your dad was the lord of the Wild, so places like this would in fact help you because it is part of your domain."
"Cool," the other Percy said with stars in his eyes, "wait, are you a demigod Percy?"
Percy smiled and nodded, "yup," he got to his feet and slowly pulled all the water from the air towards himself forming a trident, "I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon."
Little Percy was practically drooling at the sight of the water trident, "that is so cool!"
Percy smiled and released the water weapon, "so mini me, tell me, do you want to come with me and see the rest of the family?"
"There are more of us?!" He asked excitedly bouncing on his feet, "how many?!"
"Around 100 or so," Percy said trying to remember, "but probably more."
"And you guys would let me join? Just like that?! And I don't have to pay anything"
Percy nodded, "yup, you are family after all."
The moment Percy called the child family it looked like he would die from happiness. He looked up at Percy and nodded, "I want to come with you! But...my aunt and uncle probably won't let me."
Percy smiled, "they can try, but I doubt they could stop me."
"I don't know, my uncle is a pretty good lawyer," Percy said before sighing, "he wouldn't let me go and do anything fun. And my aunt would freak out if she even thought I was leaving town."
Percy scratched his chin, "hey Percy, do you actually like them? Your aunt and uncle I mean?"
Little Percy shook his head, "no, my uncle doesn't like me and my aunt's mean. My mom was got all my grandpa's cash, and after she died it went to my aunt on the condition she could only use it if she was taking care of me. So she kinda puts up with me, but no I don't like her at all."
Percy nodded and for the first time noticed the kids clothes, it was very fancy looking and looked like it was made out of very expensive material.
"Okay then kid, want to run away with me?" Percy asked with a smile.
"But my aunt-"
"Relax mini me, I doubt your aunt and uncle can do anything when it comes to us. We demigods have the Gods backing us up, and you are extra special, you have the entire wildlife backing you up."
Little Percy's eyes sparkled again with hope, "you're serious? This isn't a joke right? You'll take me away from them?"
Percy smiled, "yup."
Immediately the little boy tackled Percy and enveloped him in a hug. "Thank you," he whispered.
Percy smiled and patted the boy on the back, "no problem kid. Now," he broke the hug, "do you have anything you want to take with you? Anything at all?"
Little Percy looked thoughtful before his eyes light up, "yeah, I have a few things I want to take."
Percy nodded, "okay then, let's go to your house. You go in and start packing up, I'll be waiting outside. Grab what you need and get out of there without anyone looking."
The kid nodded, "right, but ah, how are we getting to this camp?"
Percy smiled, "leave that to me, oh and before we start," Percy said as he placed a hand over the kid's bruised eye. He then activated his healing skills and used 500 Mp to heal up all the wounds the kid received.
"Wow!" Percy said blinking his eyes repeatedly, "you can heal people?! What else can you do?"
Percy smiled, "kid I could make you a list."
The two Percy's then walked out of the forest heading towards town. They quickly walked towards the residential area filled with rows of houses that looked identical to one another. Personally Percy hated it, and the way little Percy grumbled at the sight of them told him that he hated it as well.
They walked to the 14th house on the right, it looked the same as all the others, Percy didn't really know how little Percy knew that this one was the right now.
"My room is up there," the son of Pan pointed to the window on the roof to the right, "and I think my aunt's home so if I go in there and she sees me, she might start lecturing me again. I kind of ran away in the middle of breakfast."
PErcy nodded, "sneaking in isn't a problem," Percy then picked up the little kid with one arm and jumped high enough to clear the ground floor and reach the roof.
"This is so cool!" Little Percy shouted.
"Quite mini me!" Percy hissed as he slid down the roof and reached the window. He then pushed just enough of his earthquake vibrations into the window frame to loosen the latch on it causing it to swing open.
Percy entered the room and dropped the son of Pan off. "Just give me a second and I'll get everything," Little Percy said as he grabbed his bag and began flying through the room picking up things left and right.
