Hey guys. I went ahead and just rewrote this story with more details, including some of Vanessa's former life. Also I will only update once a week (school is getting hectic.) and it will most likely be on a Friday's
Block. Thrust. Spar. Block Thrust. Spar.
I had been doing this pattern with my fellow commander for three hours now. Also, let me introduce myself. My name is Vanessa Dream. (Do not make fun or I will come after you.) I am a general in Lord Chaos Army. Well top general actually. Yes, it is the Lord Chaos, who created the universe and The Void. I have been here for about 230 years more or less. I was not much at first. A skinny girl with no muscle and was use to people following my orders. However, I was quickly told that that is not how it works. I trained and trained and trained and trained some more. Uh-oh I feel I flashback coming.
Flash back
It was 1775 and my family and I were playing a board game called "Sorry". I did not know how in the world to play it but I tried. Little did I know that was the last time any of us would get together to play a board game. After an hour of that torture, I was to baby-sit all of my younger brothers and sisters.
Felicity came up to me and asked me to play with her and Elizabeth, Molly, and Jenifer; I complied, but watched the boys carefully. James, Jasper, and Carlisle were playing with toy ark Mother and Father had given them for Christmas. I sighed quietly, I was always stuck watching my brothers and sisters. I know I should be grateful to have grown up in a palace, have my own house cleaners and everything, but I never have to have my own friends. However, as I had been taught I never complained. I just kept my emotions bottled up. After about three hours of "playing" with my bothers or sisters, Mother rushes in with tears stream down her face and looking panicked.
"Mother what is wrong?" I asked.
"Run and hide with your bothers and sisters, protect them at all costs-" Mother never did get to finish her sentence. People with guns came in and pointed them at us. The one that was the leader shot Mother.
"Mommy!" All the younger ones yelled. They rushed forward. Two guards suddenly rushed behind me and held me as I watched all my brothers and sisters get shot one by one and die in front of me.
That is what use to be my life. I was taken, tortured, and starved by these people that was until Chaos found me. Now I am eternally grateful to him. One of Chaos messagers, or as I like to call them errand boy, came up to me. I paused my fight while he told me the message.
"Lord Chaos would like to see you, Vanessa."
"Okay tell him I will be there momentarily." I explained what happened to person I was fighting and he understood, and went to find someone else to fight with. I had never gotten over how beautiful everything looked here. The buildings and everything looked exactly like chaos. Black with white stars all over it with planets and everything too. I was at Chaos office before I knew it. I knocked, waited a few seconds then heard Chaos say
"Enter." He looked up and saw it was me. He was also holding an I pad( ?) in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Ah, Vanessa you're here."
"You requested my presence, Lord Chaos?"
"Yes I need you, Captain B and S, Nightshade, and Castellan to go and retrieve someone for me." Chaos said, with a look that I knew well. My team and I were going to retrieve someone we used to know then.
"Who are we retrieving?"
"Oh you will be retrieving Percy Jackson." My mouth flopped open.
"But why do you want him he basically living life on Earth."
Chaos seemed to be thinking how to word what he was going to say.
"Percy got a brother a few months ago. His brother, Justin got a quest to go kill medusa, he succecced, and when he got back, everybody forgot about Percy. His mom and step dad and two siblings that were 4 months old were killed in a fire. Then when he went to go tell Annabeth, his ex-girlfriend, the sad news and he caught her cheating on him with Justin. Oh and did I mention his dad took way his powers gave them to Justin, made Justin Poseidon's cabin leader and the leader of camp?" I was in shock, after all, he had done, and they treated him like that. "Oh and top of that Percy isn't Poseidon's son, he's my child." I must have looked ready to faint but I got over it and said,
"When do we leave and why do we need four for this trip?"
" Well, I sense Percy will come a lot quicker if he sees some of his own friends, and he'll be more comfortable with his own friends, and you will leave as soon as you are ready and here"- Chaos tossed me a I pad- " use this to find him." I took it, nodded and went to find my friends.
Of course, they were all fighting in the Arena, but they were fighting with them selves. Good I did not have to break up any ones fight except theirs.
"Castellan, Nightshade, B and S, we have a mission!" The word mission got their attention.
"What is the mission this time?" S asked.
"Oh, you'll like this one; we are going to retrieve someone you used to know." I responded.
"Who?"
"Percy Jackson." All the others gasped.
"But, why him, I mean-""Why does Chaos want to ruin his life-"
"Isn't his living life ever since he defeated-"
"Why would he want to join-?"
Everybody was asking questions at once. I had know Percy as a camper but I had been brought back to Chaos base by Chaos when he went to get the Golden Fleece.
"Okay, hold up. I am going to tell you what chaos told me." I told them the story Chaos told me and when I was done Nightshade fainted.
"Someone have her awake before we leave in an hour."
I turned on her heel and went to pack.
