Chapter 2

3rd Person POV

(A few years before the first chapter)

Zeus had not been feeling all right. Not at all. He felt different. He thought of all that had happened recently over the two wars. He could not help but feel that it was all because of dumb luck and two extremely powerful demigods that they had won. Olympus would be in serious trouble if the two demigods in question decided to betray Olympus. He had a strange feeling that the two demigods in question would if there was another war. He was the king of the Gods after all. He controlled their puny lives. He would not allow the upstart Percy and his sidekick Annabeth become a threat to Olympus when he was king and could stop it. He would put an end to any threat to his throne. He would kill. More importantly, he was ready to kill.

He would have to carry out the killing in absolute secrecy for if Posiedon and Athena or any of the Gods on the Council were to fine out, they all would do anything to kill him. They were all ignorant to the threat that would arise to the rule of the Gods. He was going to save them.

He would kill only the upstart Perseus, and if everything went according to plan, Annabeth would be imprisoned for life for murder. As he walked out of his room in Olympus if you looked closely at the shadows, you could see them slowly recede and if you happened to have a very, very good sense of hearing, you could hear soft maniacal laughter from deep within the shadows.

Camp Half Blood

3rd Person POV

Annabeth couldn't find her dagger anywhere and she was not one misplace her belongings. She was worried that she had lost the her Drakon Bone dagger, the only relic she had of her sojourn in Tartarus that she was any day willing to forget, but that sword held more meaning than that. It showed that in even the most inhumane of places, humanity and peace would always exist. However feeble it be it would always exist.

Coming back to the point, she was feeling really, really frustrated. She just hoped she would find it else, she would have to ask Chiron for another dagger. A dagger that would be meaningless to her. Annabeth was trying hard, but nothing seemed to cheer her up. But that was until she remembered her date with Percy. They would be going for a picnic near the creek after dinner. They would have about an hour all to themselves and she couldn't help but smile. A smile that turned to a grin and eventually into that extremely happy face that she pulled only when she thought of Percy.

You could hear the entire Athena cabin groan together as Annabeth's face went from frowning to normal to smile to grin to what the Athena Cabin called the Percy Smile. That just meant that Annabeth was happy now. She wouldn't murder anyone from the Athena cabin for trying to talk to her.

Malcolm went up and told her "Don't murder me! But Percy told me that he was looking for you and asked me to tell you, if I found you, that he wanted you to go the Beach at your usual spot after dinner."

"Okay, I know that ….. But have any of you seen my dagger?" She asked as she started frowning again.

"You know what? We all are gonna go to the archery range." Malcolm said and then pointedly told Annabeth "Percy is in the Arena."

That was that. Annabeth ran off in search of Percy while the Athena cabin set off for archery.

Zeus POV

Dinner had just gotten over. Annabeth was on her way back to her cabin to dress up while Percy went towards the beach. The other campers went off for the campfire.

Percy had just reached reached the beach when I decided to put my plan in action. I willed myself to look like Annabeth and made sure that her Drakon Bone dagger was safely with me, and set off towards Percy. I saw his eyes light up at the sight of me. I knew that he had no suspicions at all. I just went and sat down near him and put my hand on his. He then gripped my hand tightly and turned towards me. He was about to kiss me and I pulled away.

"Annabeth, what is wrong with you? You have not been yourself lately. Did you find your dagger yet?" Percy asked. I tried my best to look like I was tired and said "Just tired, that's all."

Now was the perfect time to kill him. He was totally distracted. "Oh! Percy, I did find my sword. You see, it is right here." I said as I pulled out the dagger swiftly and stabbed him with it. "Annabeth…." He tried whispering her name, while failing miserabley. It ended up as a groan.

"Annabeth, you fool, I'm Zeus and as for Annabeth, she too is going to die. She is going to die a really, really painful death unlike you. Sayonara Percy!" I said as I stabbed him again and again, repeatedly in the stomach. I could feel the life go out of him. I had killed the last threat to Olympus. I was not only the King, but now officially the saviour of Olympus as well. Satisfied, I made sure that there was no one around here anymore, made sure that the dagger was extremely bloody and then walked away calmly. Once outside the camp borders, I flashed away to Olympus thinking about what I would say tomorrow at the council.

Annabeth POV

I walked towards the beach and saw a girl walking away from there, while smiling sadistically as if she had killed someone, or pulled a prank. I decided to follow that person. I slowly and stealthily closed in the gap. That girl did not belong to camp. I had never seen that face anywhere. She slowly turned around as if to make sure no one was following her and I hid behind a nearby bush.

I finally recognised that face. It was one I saw every time I looked into the mirror. It was me. I was utterly shocked. I saw that girl slowly walk out of camp and just before I was about to confront her, she changed into a male. To be specific, she changed into the King of the Gods, Zeus. I wondered why he had disguised himself as me. I was about to go and confront him, but he flashed away.

I still had to meet Percy at the beach. I started to walk back towards the beach but the thought of Zeus disguising himself as me still ran rampant in my mind.

Meanwhile, deep in the forest, you could hear the shadows gently chuckling to themselves (This happens at night (if you have already forgotten), so there are plenty of shadows).

That,s that

How was it?

I hope it was better than the last one. I have already started working on the third chapter so it should not be long before it is published.
