EZABETH
I tapped my finger nail on my wooden desk ,carved out of the very tree that my mother gave the Athens, the historic olive tree, impatiently.
Hermes should've been back by now. I had sent him to run a little errand for me. Well actually it was a huge errand. One which might possibly lead him into being thrown into Tarturas for a few hours, maybe even days.
Looking over at A.j. I debated on whether going to the underworld myself or not. Even after Uncle Z pruswaed that the photograph sent of Edward in Los Angeles was fake I couldn't get it out of my mind. So I sent Hermes to investigate. He... let's just say, didn't go willingly. Instead I had to threaten him that I would post on Olympus Weekly that her sings the lyrics 'Dont-cha think your boyfriend is cute like me' in the shower.
It was either that or threatening Apollo to do it by sending his picture of him making an omelet naked, full round. And... Knowing Apollo, I knew at wouldn't work so poor Hermes having to put up with me and my wonderful colorful schemes.
Alright thats it Hermes is taking so long to come back. You know the motto 'if you want something done right do it yourself?' yeah I'm about to prove it, again.
Gingerly picking up A.J. who was fast asleep, I imagined myself where the enternce to the Underworld was, Los Angeles's Hollywood sign.
"Yew, yuck" i grumbled as I stepped over the endless bags of chips and broken bottles of beer. Mortals these days, do they not respect Pan at all! No wonder he's been asleep in that small damp room of his, instead of suffering in this waste with the rest of us.
Pressing my hand on the letter 'H' of the sign I watched as the ground made way and lead into a dark tunnel. "Well here we go" I mumbled, heading slowley and carefully down the passway. But not before making sure that A.J. was tucked securely in my arms.
"Hello Charon" I greeted steeping inside the small wreked ferry. I swear this boat was going to fall apart any second now! And I couldn't just pop in the underworld because the Underworld is a place beyond the gods of Olympus. No one besides those who have permission from Hades can just pop in there.
I whish I had permission, I must ask Uncle H soon because sitting in a ferry boat with Charon for about fifteen minutes isn't so appealing.
"Ah, Lady Ezabeth back so soon? And with your youngling I see. But no, she will not be joining my lord, it seems that she is one of us, congratulation" he chattered pulling away from the skeleton built dock once i put few golden drachmas in his hands. "Where to?" he asked.
"Orcus" I answered, " I need to have a word with my Uncle"
"Orcus" Charon mused. "Lord Hermes asked upon the same place earlier today, although the felo didn't quiet make out the same" he snkiered. " But then again not many do"
Orcus was were Uncle Z and Persephone live, where the main estates in the Underworld are. Not many people know that though, since mostly no one is granted access there. But me being me, well I do.
"Mil'Lady if you would be so Kind would you remind my lord that a raise might be in order?" Charon asked, once we docked at Orcus.
"I'll be sure to bring that up I reassured him, even though I had no intention of doing so what so ever.
ANNABETH CHASE; CAMP HALF-BLOOD
"Come Seaweed brain I know you can do better than that!" I teased Percy, nudging him with the tip of my dagger while sending him tripping to the ground.
"Give me some slack Wise Girl, ferocious Mrs. Fluffy kept me up all night doing her monster cat stuff" Percy whined in response. I really think he can be such a drama king sometimes. How can a cute furry little kitten scare a son of Poseidon and an almost fully grown satyr is beyon even me.
"Percy, you know there's help right? We can go talk to Chrion to schedual an appointment with a local therapist" I told him sincerely. Well as sincerely as I could, because inside I was trying not to burst into laughter.
"Ha Ha this isn't funny Annabeth, it's real and I don't need a shrink, you know that" he glared at me. But I really do think he needed to see one though, with all the crazy things his been through, Hades I may even need to see one. It's been a mirical we haven't broken down yet.
"Come on Percy, Bella's..." I trailed off. Bella. Who we now know is not named Bella.
"Annabeth, do you remember when Chrion gave us the quest to go find 'Bella' and I told you the prophecy the oracle gave me?" Percy suddenly asked out of no where. Yeah I did remember but that seemed so long ago. He's ADHD seriously gets a hold of him sometimes.
"Yeah, why" i asked confused.
"Becuase we never solved it and it doesn't make since" he thought deeply walking away, towards his cabin it seemed. I just followed him thinking. He was right, it didn't make since.
"'At Sunrise in mid fall
Will a child be born
Out of Revenge or Love
Should this child fall
Take with her the glorious days
of the Olympian reign
And leave the world in an awakened fate'
But then when the Oracle finished remember she gave me a warning something about not letting the goddess fall or something really bad as going to happen?" he recited.
"Yeah, you said that she said not the let the goddess fall or else even the Titan lord's power would not wake" I remembered.
"I think it's time to tell Chiron" he stopped, turning around to look at me in the eye.
"But I thought the Oracle told you not to!" I exclaimed. Getting the attention of the unclaimed Demi-god Angus. (A/N AND IF YOU FONT REMEMBER HE'S ACTUALLY TRITON SUCK AT CAMP)
" Are you guys going on another quest?" he asked jogging towards us.
"Why you wanna come?" Percy asked jokingly.
"No"He said but he then mumbled under his breath," I wouldn't be able anyway, it would be interfering" but I don't think Percy heard.
What was that?
"Good because I was lying" Percy smiled.
"oh" Angus said before leaving.
"well that was... Weird?" I murdered.
"I know" Percy agreed.
"Well Perce, it seems as if we DO have another quest on our hands" I joked.
"Yeah, Olympus here we come" He looked over at me before sending me a smirk and sprinting off towards him cabin. That jerk!
"Hey that's not fair"I exclaimed before chasing after him. I just hope this quest wont be as tragic as the rest, because I don't think we could afford anymore death's...

MAGGIE P.O.V (A/N remember Magaska, Alaska?"
"Nicole?" I asked stepping out of the shadows.
"Maggie?" she also asked sounding shocked. I would be to, we haven't spoken to each other since we came to America after papa died.
"We don't have much time Nikki, Luke is planning something big, and I think it has to do with your bloodsuckers you keep at camp" I told her hastily looking around for anyone that might be able to hear or see us.
Truth is that even I seem not to care, Nikki is the only one I actually care for. And we were actually happy once without papa before we came to America, no help to out MOTHER.
Sibling love runs deep, but revenge runs deeper. And I'm going to make sure I have my revenge on those pitiless gods.
So any comment? Questions? Please REVIEW! I want to know how i could improve my writing. Thanks :)
