(The amazingz Percy peoples)

So we had a little run in with a couple demons who really wanted my head on a stick and worshiped Nico.

Even that confused Nico.

So as Nico worked on some research for that I decided to make a call to Keri. My moms friend from back before I was born. My mom always told me if I ha a spirit or demon run in or anything supernatural to call her.

So that's what I did. At the time we were in Oregon. and she lived close to where we were so it worked out. I met her at a diner. She was my mom's age. Reminded me a lot of Jason and Thalia for some reason.

She asked my ID and I asked here an right person.

And she hasn't seen my mom or talked to her really in a little over 20 years.

So like Im 19.

And when I say I'm her son.

" Sally doesn't have kids." Keri told me. " Leave."

" You have had no contact with her in over twenty years." I said. " How would you possibly know if she had kids or not?"

" I know she would never hook up with a god." Keri told me. And her eyes go black solid. A demon. " Demigod."

" Now a lot of you want me dead." I said. " But why do you guys praise Nico? Tell me."

I don't know why my mother and Paul were in Oregon.

" Never." Keri's voice came out this demon. Hissing at me. " Why don't you just ask him. Ask your boyfriend. I'm surprised you didn't figure it out anyway. But of course you don't. You don't even realize your own weakness when it stares you in the face, after all."

" Shut. Up." I bare through my teeth as she pissed me off and by now I can tell my mother has recognized me along with her best friend and Paul sees me. And they can sense the tension and the anger between us. " Who. Are. You."

" Oh, Percy, Percy, Percy." She taunts me and with some damn force smashed me against the wall and I had a plan. I can do that, too. I can play that game if she wants. " You know I've heard a lot about you. Down in hell. They talk a lot about you, you know. How many people you killed. How much blood held on you. How everyone calls you a hero but right down to it all you are is a cold hearted, selfish, asshole son of a hellish bitch. Your mother may mean a lot to you. But your dad, Gabe. What do they mean to you? You dad means nothing and you know that. One visit every so often because maybe a war was going on. He doesn't care about you. Hell, he never did. Neither did Gabe. How bad he beat you as a kid. How bad you cut because of him. What he made you do to yourself-"

She passed the fucking line just saying his name and she ended up against the other damn wall.

" Shut. The. Fucking. Hell. Up." I bare at her and leave the diner.

Got back to the hotel.

" Anything useful?" Nico asked me.

" Well Keri's out for an option." I said. " Demon got her. "

" Anything else?" He asked me.

" Well I guess my parents are in town." I said. " Probably followed me here and are going to be here in under 20 minutes. You?"

" Okay so I guess there's still a Di Angelo family line somewhere in Italy." Nico told me. " And same thing going on there. They're hunters and yet say Lucifer or as we would know him as, Tartarus is rising and bringing the apocalypse with him.And fast. As soon as the 66 seals are broken he rises. And they're down to 20.

" Any clue where this goes down?" I asked.

" Exactly." He said. " The Doors of Death. Same ones we shut two years ago."
