The Threat
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO
Annabeth
I was in the kitchen about to flip a pancake, when suddenly I heard someone cough behind me. I dropped the pancake and yanked out a knife from the set beside me. I whirled around with the knife in my hand. I saw an Iris Message with Chiron the centaur looking at me. I hastily put the knife down with an embarrassed look on my face. "C-c-chiron what brings you here?" I asked.
"Annabeth my child the gods have asked that everyone is to report to Olympus immediately, including you." He said with a sad look in his eyes.
I scowled at him "Just because the kids know about their heritage, and I still live in the borders of camp doesn't mean I have to take part in the functions." It was true that the kids knew everything about their grandparents and the Olympians, they knew everything except what really happened to their father.
"Annabeth the gods have said it is mandatory that you especially is to attend. They said you can bring the children."
"Why are we needed?"
He sighed and in a worried tone "There has been information of a new threat come to Olympus in 2 hours." With that he swiped his hand through the message and I sighed turning to discard the ruined pancake.
"Mommy are you burning breakfast again?" asked Pearl rubbing her eyes.
"Just one sweetie, where's your brother?" I asked putting on a phony smile.
"He's still asleep, who were you talking to?"
"No one now go get your brother up and get dressed. We're going to see your grandparents today, the fun ones."
She was already out the door with I mischievous grin on her face when I told her to get her brother up. Gods she reminds me a lot of Percy. I thought, and it was true, but Luke was the one who reminded me the most of him. Thinking it about it gave me a heart ache, as I turned my attention back to breakfast I heard a scream of surprise. I smiled to myself as I heard more screams of delight.
"Pearl! how dare you, you are so going to get it."
"Mom told me to, come on we're going to see the cool grandparents today."
With that the shouting stopped and I heard a bunch of clambering coming from the other side of the house where their bedrooms were located. In a matter of minutes Luke was downstairs and at the table with an expectant look on his face. I laughed "You have your fathers appetite, and his ability to sleep through a hurricane."
"Don't forget being able to summon one." he chided digging in to the pancakes that I put in front of him.
"Not without my help of course brother dear." said Pearl walking through the door with her favorite blue dress on, and blonde curls tied into a ponytail.
"OK now you two hurry up we leave in 30 minutes." I told them while running upstairs to finish getting ready.
One Hour Later...
We walked into the throne room and sat in between Athena and Poseidon. They had come over their differences when the kids were born, and Poseidon insisted that I call him Dad so I did. Everyone was here, so Zeus called the meeting to order.
"Now I know you are all wondering why we have called this meeting. The answer, we have received information that Tartarus is rising." He paused as an eruption of questions and chatter to sibling and friends. I sat there frozen as my kids looked at me for an explanation, but I was too stunned to do anything but sit there.
Suddenly a portal appeared and a woman stepped out with four figures with hoods on. It seemed that there were two girls and two boys. The woman spoke and immediately "Hello Olympians, campers, and the children of heroes, I am Chaos creator of the universe. I have heard of my sons rising and I am here to offer the assistance of my four best warriors and Commander." The four people, the warriors was my guess, were looking around smiling at everyone. I couldn't see what they looked like, because their masks were hiding their faces.
"Where is your commander I only see four people, who I am assuming your warriors?" asked Athena curiously.
"He will be here after he takes care of a few... things." said the boy on the far right snickering. The other warriors seemed to be holding back laughs, but the boys were failing terribly. I realized that the boy who spoke, that his voice sounded very familiar. My thoughts were interrupted when one of the girls turned to the other boy and yelled "Charles Beckendarwf, what did you do to him? You know that if he finds out you did, or even helped to do whatever you two did to him, then he will make your life living hell."
"Oh come on Silena, you know he likes us to much to do anything to bad."
Silena, Charles? Could it be? I asked myself, but before I could I could voice these questions Clarisse stepped up looking at the two and whispered "S-s-silena, is it you?" The girl looked up and smiled pulling off her hood, and there stood Silena Bouerigard. Before anyone could react Clarisse pulled Silena into a bone crushing hug. Silena smiled and hugged her back. Everyone was speechless as the boy pulled his hood of showing the man we suspected he was. Charles Beckndwarf smiled and waved. No one moved, then the other two pulled off their hoods to revel Zoe Nightshade and Luke Castellen. Suddenly everyone started to bombard them with questions. "How...When did this..." seemed to be very popular questions. I saw Hermes, Artemis, Hephestis, and Aphrodite hugging their children. Chaos looked at everyone with happiness in her eyes. Then we saw another portal open up and someone yelled so loud that everyone went silent.
"Who did it, because I swear on the river Styx that they will get the worst training I can give till the day they die!" Out stepped a man with his hair sticking up in every direction you could think of. The four supposed dead heroes and Chaos started laughing so hard that they were rolling around on the floor. The man looked so mad, but then started laughing too, "OK, so let me guess Luke you switched my shampoo, and Charlie you broke my alarm clock?"
"Y-y-yes we did, we couldn't resist, you were so happy coming back that we just had to ruin the fun of it." Luke said with tears running down his face.
The man who had just walked through the portal had black hair a tan and... Oh Gods I thought, his eyes were sea green the eyes of my love Percy Jackson. He looked around and smiled at everyone, a mischievous grin, and then he looked at me and it spread into the biggest grin of all. "Annabeth, I've missed you so much Wise Girl."
"Percy..." was all I could manage before I blacked out.
