Genevieve Jackson the child of the sea- (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

...

(hello the parts belonging to Percy's POV. belong to the original first book -The Lightening Theif. This is where the Percy's world was first created by Riordan. Only the parts related to Percy's sister are my Creation.I did this purposely to make my work more interesting and Convincing for the readers of Percy Jackson.☺😊 )

[Percy' POV]

We walked in our apartment. Smelly Gabe was in the living room, playing poker with his buddies.(Smelly Gabe was the name given to Gabe Ugliano - our step-father.) The television blared ESPN. Chips and beer cans were strewn all over the carpet.

Hardly looking up, he said around his cigar, "So, you're home."

"Where's my mom?"

"Working," he said. "You got any cash?"

That was it. No Welcome back. Good to see you. How has your life been the last six months?

Gabe had put on weight. He looked like a tuskless walrus in thrift-store clothes. He had about three hairs on his head, all combed over his bald scalp, as if that made him handsome or something.

He managed the Electronics Mega-Mart in Queens, but he stayed home most of the time. I don't know why he hadn't been fired long before. He just kept on collecting paychecks, spending the money on cigars that made me nauseous, and on beer, of course. Always beer. Whenever I was home, he expected me to provide his gambling funds. He called that our "guy secret." Meaning, if I told my mom, he would punch my lights out.

"I don't have any cash," I told him.

He raised a greasy eyebrow.

Gabe could sniff out money like a bloodhound, which was surprising, since his own smell should've covered up everything else.

"You took a taxi from the bus station," he said. Probably paid with a twenty. Got six, seven bucks in change. Somebody expects to live under this roof, he ought to carry his own weight. Am I right, Eddie?"

Eddie, the super of the apartment building, looked at me with a twinge of sympathy. "Come on, Gabe," he said. "The kid just got here."

"Am I right?" Gabe asked.

"Fine," I said. I dug a wad of dollars out of my pocket and threw the money on the table. "I hope you lose."

"Your report card came, brain boy!" he shouted after me. "I wouldn't act so snooty!"

I slammed the door to our room, which really wasn't our room. "Percy what's wrong. What exactly happened in school. Please will you tell me", my sister asked with concern. During school months, it was Gabe's "study." He didn't study anything in there except old car magazines, but he loved shoving my stuff in the closet, leaving his muddy boots on my windowsill, and doing his best to make the place smell like his nasty cologne and cigars and stale beer. Ginny would come there only once at night to sleep. I wondered how my sister managed to sleep there and moreover tolerate him day long. Poor girl !
.
"Nothing much", I dropped my suitcase on the bed. "You are hiding something from me ", she asked me suspiciously. "No nothing....". "Is Smelly Gabe treating you well? ", I asked ."Hmm as usual " , she replied her face falling.

Whatever had happened in school today was terrible.The mysterious vanishing of Mrs Doods....As I thought that, my legs felt weak. I remembered Grover's look of panic-how he'd made me promise I wouldn't go home without him. A sudden chill rolled through me. I felt like someone-something-was looking for me right now, maybe pounding its way up the stairs, growing long, horrible talons.I shuddered violently.

" Percy!", Ginny shook my shoulder , her eyes raised with concern, her voice merely in a whisper. I was just going to tell her about what had happened in school when the door suddenly creaked open......
