Explanations
Nico had stopped wolfing down his cake long enough to tell me what he knew.
"When I was in the underworld, I did some research in his, my fathers' library,"
I cut him off. "You were in his palace?!" I asked bewildered. He shrugged and continued.
"Anyways, I found a talisman that mother earth had had made after Kronos had taken over." He paused, taking a bite out of the cake. "It stated that whoever had the scythe of Darkness in their hands, would have absolute power, among immortal and mortal. It possesses the power to dispel anyone into eternal darkness for all of eternity with no way of escape. Oranous had the scythe but when he was defeated, he hid the scythe," He paused. "He was a smart man, if Kronos, of even any of the titans had control of the scythe…" He shuddered.
"So you're telling me that I have to find the scythe, keep it out of Kronos' clutches until my 16 birthday, and I still have to find it first?" I asked. He nodded
"Basically, but there are 2 catches." I mentally slapped myself in the head. There always has to be a catch, doesn't there?! I thought.
"Ok," I prepared myself. "What are they Nico?" I asked.
"The first one is that once we dispel Kronos, Luke, his body, everything, will be gone with him since he technically his Kronos now." I stared blankly at him.
"Nico," I said. "Why would I care? I mean he tried to kill me about, oh, I don't know, 10 times? The only person that cares about him, still, is…" I stopped.
"Oh crap…" I said. He nodded. "She'll try and stop you, you know."
Anger rose up in my chest. Annabeth wouldn't, would she? I mean she cares about the gods and me more then she does Luke, right? I realized then and there, that I didn't know if I could trust the one person that I thought that I could trust. Damn goddess of love!
"She won't stop me; she can't stop me from doing what I was born to do, even if it means I'll have to kill her precious Luke. She and her stupid love mean nothing to me, all I have right now is to save the world, even if it mean's not saving Luke." Nico actually smiled at me, smiled!
"Noble," He said. "Very noble indeed. You would do anything to save what you love, even if means hurting yourself in the process, very noble indeed."
"What's the next catch?" I asked curiously. "Well, you see, in the talisman, it also stated that it was at the end of the universe, were the sun meets the horizon. It's at mount Tam." My eyes widened in shock.
"Are you kidding me?" I groaned. "Great, it's my birthday and I have to go to camp, consult the oracle, go back to camp, and tell my best friend I'm gonna cast the dude she's in love with into eternal darkness, wow this is going to be such a fun summer!" I said sarcastically. Nico glared at me. "Go and get packed, we leave in 20 minutes." I sighed and went to tell my mom.
After I told my mom every thing, she understood obviously, and told me to do what I had to do to save the world. I thanked her quickly and went to my room to pack. Nico was waiting outside. I pulled out a musty backpack and put in a change of clothes and a canteen of Nectar. I looked at my nightstand and took out a picture of me, Annabeth, and Grover last summer after the Sea of Monsters quest. I smiled at the sight. I quickly crawled out the fire escape, careful not to run over the baby moon lace.
After me and Nico were down the street, we checked if the coast was clear and summoned the cab of damnation. It was silent, other then the screeching of the tires of the bickering between the grey sisters. Once we were at the hill, I paid and we walked up the hill. I said a quick Hi to Peleus, the dragon guard of the Golden Fleece. We came down to the Big house and saw Chiron in his wheel chair, but with a cast on his leg.
"Chiron," I said. "Nico," I said motioning to him. "Found a way to dispose of Kronos, permanently." He looked at us then said,
"Come in children, come in." He motioned for us to sit down. We obeyed.
"Mr. diAngelo, what have you found out?" Chiron said referring to Nico.
"While I was in the underworld…" He began. I wasn't paying much attention, no scratch that, I wasn't paying attention at all. I was too busy thinking about how I was going to break it to Annabeth. I sighed and told them I was tired and that I would catch up with them later. They nodded, like they were saying they understood, as if! As I was heading back to my cabin, something, or someone grabbed me and put a hand to my mouth. As a reflex I grabbed the persons hand and twisted it behind their back. I heard the person scream, "Ouch! Seaweed brain! What's your problem?" I knew that voice all too well. I let Annabeth go and said, "My problem? My problem?! You're the one who grabbed me!" She was taken aback.
"And do you want to know what else my problem is?" I was getting angrier. She opened her mouth but I cut her off. "My problem is I have the world on my shoulders and I'm 15 years old! My other problem is that I have to find a frikin' scythe of darkness and cast the Titan lord into eternal darkness. And do you know what my last and biggest problem is?!" I was so angry I couldn't control my words. "My problem is that the girl that I'm in love with is in love with another guy that I have to also send into eternal darkness!! THAT'S MY GODS DAMN PROBLEM!" I just realized what I said and mumbled. "Oh crap…"
Annabeth looked at me, I couldn't tell what she was thinking but it was safe to say she was freaked. She got over her intense shock and asked me. "What was that last part?"
"Uh, I would rather not repeat it." She smiled at me and said. "Then show me…" She leaned in and we kissed.
A/N: Ok, I'm sick right now so that's why this is so suckish. Please R&R, I had to make them kiss, it makes the lukepercyannabeth tension thicker because Percy's gonna become bitter with the fact that his girl may still love Luke, but no worries, you'll see soon what I mean. 1,090 word without bold parts. Again R&R
