Annabeth's POV
Gods, Olympus was beautiful. I was humming to myself as I strolled to the throne room and trotted across the long bridge. I needed to ask Zeus for permission to start the construction of the Nyx temple. I came to a stop in front of the throne room door; it was painted a glowing gold and was about seven feet taller then I was. I saw a glowing light sneaking out from under the door and decided to stop and listen to the meeting. It would be rude to walk in uninvited. It sounded more like a war than a meeting.
"You are not killing my son!" A familiar voice screamed. I couldn't quite place who it belonged to.
"Neither are you killing my son." A said voice as cold as ice.
"Killing my daughter and her friends is not right, after all they've done for us you can't just kill them off like a bunch of monsters. Even though I don't like that sea spawn of yours." My mother's voice said in a calm manor.
Wait, daughter? Sea Spawn? Friends? They must be talking about Percy, Nico, Thalia and me. I assumed that the cold voice was Hades, and the familiar one Poseidon. Hold on, they want to KILL US! My mother would never let that happen. I need to see this, I thought as I peered through a crack between the double doors.
"Your daughter, Percy, Nico, and Thalia, were mentioned in a prophecy that could over throw our power. Even though they weren't the ones who were said to overthrow us, they were mentioned so we have come to the conclusion to kill them." Apollo explained in a cocky voice.
"Zeus what do you have to say about all of this?" My mother asked.
"I need some time to think about what we should do." He said looking pained while sitting on his throne.
"You would betray your own daughter?" Poseidon asked.
"If that's what has to be done to insure we keep our power, I will have to."
"Aw, my favorite couple will be killed. Oh well, there will be a new one in a decade or so." Aphrodite said, solemnly.
"No one will say anything about this to Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, or Nico. I will send out the message to Chiron to tell them to come to Olympus, where we can kill them properly." Zeus explained.
"There will be no killing of my son if I have anything to do with it." Poseidon said.
"Fine, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis trap him— somehow." Zeus demanded
"I guess you have to take me down too." Athena said.
"Really, Athena, you aren't wise enough to see this is the right thing to do?" Zeus asked.
"It isn't the right thing to do."
"Well, Hermes and Ares get her." Zeus commanded.
The two gods put up a good fight. Unfortunately, it wasn't long 'til they trapped Athena and Poseidon. It wasn't a fair fight. I mean, it was two against six. I watched in horror as they dragged my mom into a golden cage. The other Olympians also imprisoned Percy's dad. They lay solemnly against the floor, adjacent to each other, knowing that they had lost the small, decisive battle. Zeus smirked.
Hades stood beside Zeus. The god of the dead looked austerely at his caged family.
"Well, Hades will you return to the underworld and not speak of it? I will find you if you do." The lightning god warned.
"I will return to the underworld, but I will help my son somehow." He said before disappearing leaving a cloud of wispy, black vapor in his wake.
After that, I ran back to my office and grabbed a golden drachma off my messy desk, and I ran outside to the sparkling fountain. I threw the drachma in and said, "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accepts my offering, Percy Jackson, Camp Half-blood."
Suddenly, I saw Percy cleaning his cabin at the last minute for cabin inspection. He was wearing a dark, green v-neck that made his eyes pop and show off his muscles. He had that effortless beauty that pulled every girl in—including me.
"Hey, Seaweed Brain," I said, making Percy jump three feet off the ground.
"Gods, Annabeth, couldn't you have waited until I saw you instead of scaring me all the time?"
"Where's the fun in that?" I said while smiling innocently.
"Well, whatcha need?"
"Oh, I have to tell you something important. You might want to sit down."
"Okay, what is it?" He said looking confused as he sat down slowly on his bed.
"The gods want to kill Thalia, Nico, you, and me. I heard them talking in the throne room today. Athena, Poseidon, and Hades stood up for all of us, but Zeus and the other gods wouldn't listen. Athena and Poseidon are trapped in cages because they refused to listen. Hades returned to the underworld to watch over the dead, but he swore he would help his son though." I said, explaining quickly.
"Why do they want us dead?" Wondered Percy aloud.
"They mentioned something about a prophecy and the overthrow of power, even though the prophecy didn't say we were the ones doing the over-throwing. They just want to kill us because we were mentioned."
"Thalia was just kicked out of the Hunters this morning, could that have something to do with it?"
"Probably, so she's back at camp?"
"Yes, she got back four hours ago."
"Do you have any idea why she was kicked out?"
"No clue."
"Is Nico in the Underworld or at Camp?"
"At Camp, but Chiron sent him on an errand to grab some extra dish soap for the kids on kitchen duty. He should be back soon."
"Good, we will need his help. Also, he should be included because they want to kill him too."
"Okay, so what do we do from here?"
"Grab Thalia and meet me at the Empire State Building in an hour. Don't tell Chiron you're leaving, sneak out. Take my car because yours is still in the shop. The keys are in the Athena cabin on my desk. Iris message Nico when you get there, and tell him to meet us there. Tell him not to shadow travel, he can take his car."
"Stay safe, I don't know what I would do without you." He said sweetly.
"Me neither, Seaweed Brain," I said before disconnecting. My plan wasn't much, but I hoped it would work.
I heard that there was an elixir that enables you to be undetected by the gods. If we retrieved it, the gods wouldn't be able to locate us. The problem is I have no idea where the elixir is. Hopefully, Hades will help us and give us the location of it or something that will help us find it. Now, all I had to do was wait.
This is my first fan fiction story that I haven't thought about deleting, so no flames please. CC is appreciated. I'm looking for one or two own characters, so you can PM me or send me a review if you would like me to use one; I'll send you the form. The characters might seem a little OCC, but it should get better as the story goes on. Review, please! I'd like to thank my bestie, LoveGreenEyes001, because she edited it this for me.
