Chapter 3- Bianca's POV
"Is she still alive" A voice says.
I sit up.
"Oh thank the Gods you are still alive" Annabeth says smiling
"Where are we"
"A mall" Percy says
Wait...NICO
"Where's Nico!" I yell A few people glance at me.
"He was taken by the fury" Annabeth says looking down
"No, No" I say shaking slightly "We have to get him back!"
"We are going to the Underworld, that's where the furies reside"Annabeth says
"Where's Grover?" I say realizing he is not here
"He went back to our camp. We sent him to tell Chiron about you two and what's going on" Annabeth says
"And we also got you this."Percy says pulling out two daggers, made of a black metal
"It made out of Stygian Iron. It can kill the monsters you just saw."Annabeth says
I take them and slip them into the sides of my pants. I. Pull my shirt down over the top of them.
"Thanks" I say
"Now can we go rescue my brother" I say
"Sure but we need to explain our quest to you" Annabeth says
Percy and Annabeth tell me about the lighting bolt and Percy's Mom . When they finish telling me about the quest we climb into a cab and head to the underworld.
We get out of a cab in front of a recording studio.
"This" I say pointing to the building "is the underworld"Annabeth nods at me. We push open the door.
"Can we go to the underworld." Percy says"Now why would I let three Demi-" he stops when he sees me
"Why didn't you just say you had her with you" He says pointing at me "Follow me"
He leads us to an elevator. We walk in. Soon the elevator seems to be moving forward instead of down.
"Are we still going down." I ask
"I don't think so" Annabeth says worried
The walls give away to show a river flowing underneath us. Various objects, old dolls, broken toys, lay on the banks.
"What is that." I ask
"The river Styx" Annabeth says
The boat hits the shore. We walk through a doorway. It opens up into a large area with three tunnels. One leads to a brightly lit place. The second leads to a field with hundreds maybe thousands of people walking, sitting, and just standing. The thirds leads to a pitch black area. I could hear screams in the distance.
"Hades palace is at the end of the second tunnel" Annabeth says
"Then that's what we are doing." I says walking
We reach the gates of the palace. I push them open. Percy and Annbeth follow behind me. A person stops me. I pull out my dagger and stab the thing in the chest. It erupted into flames. I back away surprised.
"These blades catch things on fire" I ask.
"No" Annabeth says
Weird.
"Let's keep moving" I say
I push open the two doors.
"Where's my brother" I say "Oh you shouldn't be so rude" Hades says
"And why is that, hm" I say
"Well, you should never be so rude to your father." He says smiling wickedly
Nico's POV.
I watch my sister fall into the ocean below me.
"No" I scream
Percy will save her.
Wait... What. Why would I trust him so quickly. Well he did save your life.
The world starts to ripple. Suddenly I'm in a jail and no longer dangling hundred feet above the Pacific Ocean.
"Lord Hades wants you to wait here." The thing says
Bianca, Annabeth, and Percy will save me I'm sure of it.
Bianca's POV
My father. He is my father. Great.
He still smiles wickedly at me.
"You-u can't be my father" I say
"And why is that, my dear." I glance at Annabeth and Percy.
"Because you're a horrible person" I say back "you can go to he-"
"First off don't anger the gods, and second we are already in hell" Percy whispers in my ear
"Are you really Bianca's and Nico's Father" Annabeth says
"Yes, daughter of Athena" He says
"Then you didn't kill Nico" she says
"No, but think of this as a incentive. You three will find my helm of darkness or Percy's mother and Bianca's brother will be killed, girl" Hades says
" You would kill your own son!" I shout tears rolling down my face
" You have twenty four hours, be gone." Hades says
Annabeth leaps forward and spins me around her eyes shut. There was a flash of light behind me. She lets go.
"Never look at a god when they disappear." Annabeth says
"Why, respect or something" I say "Because If all the gods are like that then I wouldn't"
"It will kill you" Annabeth says
Oh well then
"So what's a helm of darkness"
"Hades item of power" Annabeth says
"Like Zeus' missing lightning bolt" I say nodding my head
"The only thing is, Where would we even find that at." Annabeth says
"Who knows but it's not down here." Percy says pulling out 3 pearls
"What are those" I ask
"Percy met his father while you were out, they'll bring us to the surface." Annabeth says
Percy hands out the pearls.
"So, how do we use these" Percy says
"I have an idea"I say
I throw mine at the ground.
Why is nothing happening. Come on co-
A bubble surrounds me pulling me to the surface.
Well shit
I float towards the jagged roof. I hit the roof and... Float right through.
Hot damn
I appear in the ocean and the bubble pops. I swim towards the surface. Percy pops up next to me. Then Annabeth.
"Your almost as stupid a Percy." Annabeth says smiling
"I worked didn't it." I say smiling back
