The Siren's Call

Chapter 9

Percy's POV

Darkness once again flooded my senses. I tried to blink, and when I did I saw something strange. I saw a girl a few feet away from me, her back turned to a river. She was talking to someone. "Hallie, could you go downstream, and get some berries for dinner." A woman's voice called.

My head turned. A woman melted out what looked to be a Willow tree. She was a nymph. "Okay mom, I'll be back by sunset at the latest." the girl replied. She finally turned around picking up a basket. This was Hallie. She looked to be about 15. Rather than now when she looked to be about 22. She was dressed in an ancient Greek chiton. Where were we?

Hallie began walking, and without my consent time zoomed forward. I was now below the surface of the water. I could hear Hallie's footsteps. She was humming to herself. Even now her voice was beautiful.

My body moved. I looked down, this was my dad's form. Wait this was a memory wasn't it. I was now rising out of the water. Hallie turned to the sound of the water. "Lord Poseidon, what can I do for you?" She said while bowing.

"I came to see you of course." My father's voice said, while I stepped out of the water. No, No, NO this couldn't be good. "Me, what could I possibly do for you?" Hallie started backing away. "You are quite ravishing, I'm glad I caught you alone." My fathers body advanced, inching closer to Hallie's. "My Lord, I'm flattered really, but I must be going, and you have a wife, maybe you should be returning to her."

I suddenly had control over the memory, or at least my fathers body and voice. I backed away from Hallie. "My apologies, Lady Hallie I'm not sure what came over me if you allow me to escort you home?" Hallie slowly nodded. I beckoned her forward, reading the way.

I tried to keep a good distance away from her. We were a few feet from her home. The sun was just setting. "Hallie, I am incredibly sorry for what has happened today. Please I'm in your debt, if you need anything call for me." Hallie bowed her head. "Thank you, Lord Poseidon, I hope I will never have to be in your debt." With that she walked towards her mother.

Darkness surrounded me once again. Hallie was in front of me once again. I just stared at her. "Percy Jackson, you never seem to amaze me out of all of Poseidon's children this has been the most unique answer and reaction." I was confused. "What do you mean?" Hallie summoned a couch. She sat down and beckoned me to do the same.

I sat down next to her. "What do you mean exactly?" Hallie smiled. "I've seen dozens among dozens of Poseidon's children; barely a fourth of them had passed my test. You were one of the few who had passed. Yet I've never seen someone who said I was in their debt, that I could call upon them for anything." She patted my leg.

"Thank you, my mother taught me to do what I see right, what I felt was gonna happen, that felt like the only right thing to do." I looked down. Hallie sighed and got up the couch disappeared from under me and I fell on my butt. Hallie chucked and helped me up. "Now, it's Jason's turn, you may either watch from the sidelines or once again go through Poseidon's point of view again. Make your choice, he begins soon." 

A/N: What memory will Jason expirence. Also how is everyone enjoying this sofar?
