Annabeth's pov
It has been several months after the giant war ended and several months since we put Gaia back to sleep. I headed to Percy's cabin to ask him if he wanted to do something during free time. I was about to knock when I heard several voices coming from inside the cabin.
"So will you three help me?" said a male voice. "Will you help me to raise Gaia."
"Give me one good reason why should help you Kronos." Said another male voice. I recognized the voice. It was Percy's.
I gasped. What was Percy doing talking to Kronos?
"Because the gods never cared about the three of you. If I remember correctly the gods tried to kill you several times.
"You're right Kronos… you will see what we can do." Percy said.
Kronos laughed. "I cant wait."
Then it went silent.
"Gah I hope Kronos… call again. If he does I will give him a piece of my mind. Said another male.
"So what do we do Percy?" Asked a female.
It took me a while but I was able to recognize the other two voices. They belonged to Nico and Thalia.
"We don't tell anyone of this conversation. They don't need to know anything about this."
I gasped and ran. I kept on running until I reached the big house. "Chiron, Chiron." I shouted.
The other campers turned their heads and looked at me like I was crazy.
Chiron ran out of the big house and Chiron quickly followed. I closed the door and locked it. I ran into the room with the iris message fountain and paced around. Chiron followed me in. Mister D was already in the room and he looked bored.
"What are you doing here Annabeth?" Mister D asked.
Chiron looked at me worriedly. "Annabeth child what is wrong?"
"Chiron, Iris message the Olympian council right now. Don't forget about Hestia and Hades they need to know this too." I quickly said.
"Hear what Annabeth? I can't just call the Olympian council without a reason." Chiron said.
"Please Chiron just do it." I begged him.
Chiron must have heard the urgency in my voice because he took out a drachma and threw it into the mist in the fountain. "O Iris goddess of the rainbow, please accept this offering and show me the Olympian council and hades and Hestia.
Just as Chiron finished speaking 13 faces appeared in the mist.
"What is it Chiron?" Zeus asked. He sounded a bit annoyed.
"Annabeth." Chiron said.
My mom's face changed to serious when she heard me name. "Annabeth? Did something happen to my daughter?"
"No nothing happened to me mom." I said as I walked in front of the Iris message.
"Daughter why did you call the Olympian council? You know you shouldn't call the Olympian council unless it is an absolute emergency." My mom said.
"It's Percy." I quietly said. The gods looked at each other worriedly.
"Percy?" Poseidon worriedly asked. "What about Percy? Is he alright? Is he hurt?"
"It's not just about Percy. It's about Thalia and Nico as well." I said.
"Did something happen to our children?" The big three asked simultaneously.
"They…They." I felt my throat tighten up as I tried to hold back my tears and sobs.
"Annabeth what did they do?" My mom asked. Everyone one in the room and the iris message just stared at me.
"Annabeth tell us." Zeus shouted.
I felt all my anger and hurt of being betrayed by the children of the big three I couldn't help but expressing my feelings. I could feel the tears pouring out of my eyes and I was aware the gods were looking at me shocked.
"They are thinking of helping Kronos." I shouted. I collapsed in the nearest chair and cried.
After a little while I looked up and saw that everyone's faces were full of shock and disbelief.
"Annabeth how did you come to know this?" Chiron asked
I quickly told them about my visit to Percy's cabin and what I heard from the outside.
"This is some disturbing news Annabeth. But this problem must be dealt with. Ares, Artemis, Apollo bring Percy, Thalia and Nico to Olympus. Demeter, Dionysus you help them. I have a feeling they won't go down without a fight. Ask them nicely first and if the refuse then force them. Hephaestus give them celestial bronze handcuffs. Annabeth, Chiron you gather all the campers. Athena you transport/teleport all of them to Olympus, after that Athena go to camp Jupiter and bring them all to Olympus as well." Zeus said.
We all nod our heads in agreement. Mister D whipped his hand through the Iris message and it disappeared.
Mister D unlocked the door and leaves. I knew he was going to find Percy so I followed him. As we neared the Arena we see the children of the big three talking and laughing.
Dionysus stopped and looked at me. "Annabeth stay hidden. They cannot know."
Wait did Mister D just call me by my real name. it doesn't matter I understood what mister D said. They didn't need to know who snitched on them. I nod my head in agreement and hid behind a nearby bush.
Mister D stood in the middle of the path. He had his arms crossed across his chest. I have never seen Mister D act so serious.
As the children of the big three got closer Mister D signaled them to walk over to him. "You three get over here."
Percy, Thalia and Nico looked at each other confused but they walked over.
"Yes Mister D what is it?" Percy asked.
"We need to talk to the three of you." Mister D said.
"We?" Percy asked, confused.
Suddenly there were four flashes and Ares, Artemis, Apollo and Demeter appear.
Artemis and Ares appear next to Mister D while Apollo and Demeter appeared behind the children of the big three.
"The three of you need to come with us to Olympus right away." Mister D said.
The children of the big three slowly backed away but they stopped when they saw Apollo and Demeter. Quickly they had their back against each other. I saw their hands twitching as id waiting to grab their weapons.
"Why do we have to go to Olympus?" Percy asked.
Mister D grumbled. "We can't tell you here. We will tell you once we get to Olympus."
"We won't go unless you give a reason Mister D." Percy cautiously said.
"We can't give you a reason Perseus." Artemis said. "it is to important and well it's not for the ears of the other demigods. Thalia if I must then I am ordering you to come with us to Olympus."
Thalia shock here head. "I'm sorry my lady but that is an order I must disobey. Percy is right we won't go to Olympus unless you give us a bloody good reason. Besides why would five gods come and tell us that we need to go to Olympus unless there is something terribly wrong going on."
"You better come with us right now demigods." Ares angrily said.
"There is no way in hell we are going with you Ares." Nico angrily said.
"It's lord Ares to you Punk." Ares growled.
"I am warning you three. Come with us right now or we are going to have some trouble." Mister D slowly said, as if he was trying to contain his anger.
"Well you can tell the other gods that we aren't going. Come on guys lets go." Percy angrily said.
The demigods that watch the whole scene gasped. They just walked away from the gods like it was nothing. I watched as the gods expressions grow really dark.
"If you three won't come with us willingly then we will force you." Mister D growled.
The gods walked closer to the demigods. The children of the big three huddled close together and had their back against each other. Ares, Artemis and Apollo ran at the children of the big three. Ares charged at Percy, Apollo charged at Thalia and Artemis charged at Nico. Dionysus and Demeter summoned up vines. Percy and Nico quickly drew their sword while Thalia pulled out her bow.
Apollo fired several arrows at Thalia but she countered them with her own arrows. So Apollo made his bow vanish and he summoned up two hunting knives. The blades were covered in fire. Thalia dropped her bow and drew out her hunting knives as well she summoned up electricity and charged her daggers. They charged at each other. Thalia quickly dodged and blocked every attack. Thalia raised her hand towards the sky and lighting shot down and hit Apollo square in the chest and sent him flying into Ares. Apollo jumped to his feet and charged at Thalia again. Thalia raised her shield as Apollo brought his hunting knives down at her. Thalia and Apollo jumped apart and just stood there staring at each other. Thalia had blood running down her arm and Apollo's shoulder was dripping gold ichor.
"Thalia please don't make me do this." Apollo quietly said.
Thalia's eyes angrily flashed. "Don't make me do this! You attacked me remember."
"Just come with us to Olympus."
"No, I'm not going anywhere with you. Give me a damn good reason why we should go with gods that attack us." Thalia shouted. "Go away and leave us alone."
"I'm sorry Thalia but you're coming with us to Olympus." Apollo charged at Thalia, Thalia jumped to the right and tripped Apollo, she shrunk her shield and pulled out a second hunting knife and charged with electricity. While Apollo was getting up Thalia threw the knife into his leg.
"Gah" Apollo screamed. "You'll pay for that Thalia. Apollo ripped the dagger out of his leg and threw it into a nearby tree.
Apollo was losing, Thalia was an amazing fighter for a moment I thought Apollo would surely lose. That's when the vines appeared. The vines wrapped around Thalia's legs, noticing the vines Thalia quickly aimed at the vines. Seeing his chance Apollo quickly jumped at Thalia and knocked her out.
Like Thalia, Percy had the upper hand against Ares. Ares was all about brute force so Percy used that against him. Percy quickly dodged each attack and hit Ares whenever he got the chance he also had a thin coat of water around him so all his wounds healed. This also increased his power which gave him the advantage. Like Apollo, Ares looked like he was losing. The god of war was covered in cuts and leaking gold ichor all over the place. This played a toll on Ares. He was getting weaker.
"I'm impressed Percy." Ares said. "You have skill, it's too bad that they won't help you now." As Ares talked to Percy vines snuck up behind Percy and grabbed him. One vine grabbed Percy's sword while the others wrapped him up and pulled him to the ground.
Nico was having some difficulty against Artemis. Probably because her hate for men fueled her attacks and made her vicious. But Nico made a comeback when he broke Artemis's bow with his sword. Artemis stood their shocked for a quick moment. So Nico took advantage of this he quickly moved forward and slashed at Artemis's face. The power of the attack made Artemis fly back. Gold Ichor, the blood of the gods flowed down her face from a cut just below her eye.
All the demigods looked at Nico in shock.
"Artemis!" Apollo shouted.
"I'm fine Apollo." Artemis growled. "You will pay for what you just did boy."
I watched as Artemis turned into a mountain lion and pounce at Nico. Artemis pinned down Nico down while Demeter and Dionysus had vine wrap around his arms and legs. Soon the gods had the children of the big three pinned down. The gods were kneeling next to the children of the big three, fastening their hands behind their backs with celestial bronze chains.
I stepped out from behind the bush and looked at them
Percy looked up at me. His eyes were full of pain and confusion. "Annabeth." Ares picked up his sword and knocked Percy out with the butt of the sword. Apollo and Artemis did the same to Thalia and Nico.
They deserve this. The gods picked up the children of the big three and flashed away. I quickly looked away and felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn my head and saw my mom. "Mom" I cried. I turned and hugged her. My mom quickly returned the hug.
"Annabeth I'm so sorry. This should have never happened to you. I'm sorry. "My mom softly says.
I felt tears gathering up in my eyes. This time I didn't try to hold them back. I cried into my mother's shirt. I cried for about five minutes before I gather myself together and turned towards the demigods, who just stood their stunned from what they just witnessed.
