Chapter 3
Sorry it didn't upload yesterday. D:
I ran. I ran and ran, until I reached the edge of the crack in the ground. I was terrified. My brother, fell in. I fell onto my knees and slapped my palms on my face, and let my tears out. Behind me, the tons of campers stood there in shock, watching me.
Percy made his way towards me, and knelt down, put his hands on my arms and pulled them off my face and whispered, "It's alright. We'll get him. I promise."
With him saying that, I felt a bit better. But, I still didn't like the fact that my brother is in the ground. Maybe he just got sucked in the Underworld. Hopefully. I don't want to believe he's dead. He's alive. I just know it.
We had a meeting that day. And since Nico wasn't there, I got to go.
"Chiron, can we please have a quest to rescue my brother? Please?" I begged.
"If we, do, I am not going to the Underworld. Just no." Clarisse complained.
Chiron thought for a second. "Maybe. I just can't let you go to the Underworld, just like that. You could be killed." I pouted. "But, I'm a daughter of Hades! I can go! I know my way around! My dad's the Lord of the Underworld, for gods' sake!" Chiron shook his head no.
Percy lifted a finger. "Chiron, please. We have to go down there."
"We don't even know if that's where Nico went!" Chiron slammed his hands on the table. "No! You can't go. It's too dangerous. I don't want anyone dead." I pouted even more, and stood up, with everyone staring at me, and marched out of the door, without being excused. I just left. Like, that.
That night, I lay in the big house guest room, by myself, alone. I thought. I wanted to get Nico back. My father probably has done something bad to him. You know, how my father doesn't like Nico, even if he does something nice for him. It made me mad. I wanted to go. Chiron was never like this. I frowned.
After everyone in the camp fell asleep, I grabbed my bag, which I made sure to place some nectar and ambrosia, and headed to the gate. Right when I stepped out of my cabin, I half-screamed.
"Percy? What are you doing here?" I asked, him, while he smirked.
"No. The question is what are YOU doing here, walking out of the big house in the middle of the night? Hm?" He asked.
I punched him the arm. "Go away." He laughed softly, making sure no one heard him but me. I frowned. "I said, go away and leave me alone." He laughed even more, and I frowned even more, and walked away. He ran after me. "I'm coming too."
"No you're not." I complained.
Someone tapped me on the back, and I immidiatly turned around. "Not you too."
"Oh, c'mon! You need our help." Annabeth pointed out, while Percy smiled.
I nodded. "Fine. But, if both of you are dead, it's not my fault." I laughed along with Percy and Annabeth, and we slowly walked to the crack. Annabeth looked down.
"Woah. That's de-!" Annabeth shrieked and got sucked in. I quickly looked at Percy, our eyes growing large, my mouth about to scream. Percy quickly covered my mouth, remembering everyone else is asleep. He looked down.
"Percy? Per-" He got sucked in. I held my breath, grabbed my backpack, and placed it over my shoulder, and jumped.
I landed in a garden, filled with flowers. A few distances away from me, Annabeth was standing helping Percy up. I looked around. Yep, this is deffinatly the Underworld. The crowd of souls in front of us. I turned around, Percy was walking toward me, and held out a hand. I took it, and he helped me up. Just then, I noticed we were right in front of Hades' home. A big dark structure in front of me.
"Um, Percy, Annabeth, I wanted to ask you something about the prophecy." I said. They nodded.
"What?" Annabeth asked.
"When you guys were saying how the prophecy came together, you missed a line" I sighed. "One shall be lost in the land without rain,"
They exchanged glances, thinking, as their eyes grew big. "W-we did. But, n-no one was lo-lost in the land without rain, or the desert." Annabeth stuttered.
Percy had a blank expression, his face turned pale. "Then, the quest isn't over."
