I'm glad I got some new reviewers that was nice so here goes chapter 4.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Percy Jackson series or the heroes of Olympus series. I don't own Greek mythology either.
Chaos P.O.V.
I had just finished training Percy. When I arrived, I went to my office to check up on my troops. In order to see how well their missions were going. To my surprise I had just lost 20 soldiers. That was odd and who would dare to go against my forces, and just kill them? That made me angry, because my army was not big but they are all trained warriors. Had it been a trap to send them in the house?
There mission had been to search a house. There were a lot of mysterious deaths occurring in that house. Who ever went in so far, hadn't come out. But to have my soldiers killed was not something I could let pass by. There was most likely fowl play at hand here. Not wanting anyone to interrupt his thoughts he went to his room and closed the doors. Only four people were allowed to enter his room unless he decided otherwise. Myself, Perseus Sophia, and the cleaning maid.
I started thinking of all the planets I'd created life and mortals on. Earth was the only planet ruled by gods, who thought of me as a myth since the beginning of their time. The rest though I watch over and send my soldiers to. So as to keep peace, discipline and order in. Everyone knew not to mess with my soldiers. It wasn't like they blended in or anything. My soldiers wore black capes, with whatever color of trim or lining they wanted.
All this anger was being bottled up inside him. Not even having a clue or idea as to who might have done that. Deciding it would be best to try to calm down, I sat down on a hair and closed my eyes.
There was a knock at the door, that just fuelled his current anger.
"WHAT" I yelled, who ever knocked gave a small scream of surprise. There was silence, whom ever was there had better say something soon.
"Come in" I needed to have a word with them. I don't like it when someone has my attention and then decides not to say what they were about to.
"Ok" she said in a barely audible voice.
I had my back turned to the girl.
"I do not like when people are about to tell me something and then change their mind!" I was shouting but not as loud as before.
I turned around and noticed it was Sophia who I was yelling at. She looked about ready to cry. Now I felt guilty, she was obviously scared.
Nodding Sophia said" yes lord Chaos won't happen again."
Oh no she hadn't called me lord in a few years. Ever since I told her not to.
I felt my heart tighten I had never felt like this before. Then one tear slipped from her right eye. That just made me fell even more guilty. Because first I made her cry, second she had a present in her hands. I also noticed a piece of paper in her pocket. She ran out of my room tears streaming down her face. Why did I do that, why hadn't I looked to see who was there before yelling?
Sophia P.O.V.
I had been having a bad day so far. So I wanted to talk with Chaos, because a half sibling of mine was just killed. So far I was trying to stay strong and not cry and I was doing pretty well, on the inside I was devastated though. They had another half sibling of mine and wanted me to go to some address to get them. It was on a distant planet and I needed permission to go there.
But I suspected a trap so I wanted to ask Chaos about it. We had I think become good friends. I would listen to him when he needed someone to talk to or just let off steam. I would voice opinions or just comfort him. He did the same with me and I thought we had grown close. Then when I was on my way to Chaos my boyfriend broke up with me. It was so terrible, but I just put on a face of indifference. I would not let him see me in pain. I played it off cool and said bye, turned and walked away. Now I took a longer route to Chaos' room for some reason I had a feeling to check his room first.
Then when I got there he yelled at me it hurt me. But it wasn't the whole reason why I felt like crying. Why was today such a retched day for me? So I cried and after the first tear slipped by, Chaos looked guilty, as if he was the only reason for my tears.
They started slipping by and I left not wanting Chaos to see. I ran into the room, jumped on my bed and cried. Percy tried comforting me and I tried to stop but it was all too much. They said I had two days then they would kill my sister. Then they would go after another one of my siblings and do the same thing over and over again until I went there. That's when Percy gave up trying and left. I didn't have the energy to do anything but cry, so I couldn't follow. That's when I felt strong arms wrap around my shoulders. Whoever they were sat down next to me. I looked up and found it was Chaos comforting me. I hugged him and cried onto his shoulder. Once I could stop crying I would tell Chaos about the day.
Chaos P.O.V.
It surprised me that Sophia was crying on my shoulder. After I had just yelled at her, causing her to cry. Yet here she was forgiving me and crying on me. I hugged her back and put her head on my other shoulder. After a few minutes passed she was able to stop crying, some tears would still go down her face but they were silent tears.
Sophia looked at me and started fumbling with the bottom of her shirt. "I'm sorry for crying on you." What! Why was she apologizing to me, like I minded (as if).
"Sophia look at me." She looked me straight in the eyes. "You have no reason to apologize to me. I should be the one apologizing to you. Sophia I'm sorry for making you cry earlier."
"You're not the whole reason I was crying, that's why I didn't want you to see me crying. Because I knew you'd feel bad about it. In reality I had more or less three reasons to cry. Today all the hurt and pain was being held inside me, and I couldn't take it anymore." Sophia said' it kind of shocked me but I could tell she needed to tell me something.
"It was because first I got this letter." She gave me the paper I had seen in her pocket earlier. Then she rubbed her arms and she blushed, a faint pink. "Then um well, as I was walking to your room. I bumped into my boyfriend, and he, um, well he broke up with me."
Now I knew she was blushing. But I couldn't understand why someone would break up with her. To let her know I was listening I nodded.
"Chaos can you please read the note, I don't want to explain it."
I read the note and it got me thinking. Why was someone targeting Sophia next?
"This address I've seen it before and someone might want you dead. I had 20 soldiers enter that house and now they're all dead. Not a single one made it out safely. I can't let you go in, I can have your siblings watched though."
"Why not I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself." She placed her hands on her hips, straightened her back more and lifted her chin a little. It was amusing to watch but I didn't let her see that.
"Because I don't want to willingly put you in harm's way."
"But I have to help my family."
"No, Sophia I don't want to let you go." She stood up and crossed her arms, at my words.
"Then have someone go with me." Sophia put a hand on my shoulder and her voice softened. She then began massaging my shoulders and whispered in my ear. "Please let me go, I don't even mind having an escort." It was so relaxing I almost agreed. But realization of what she was doing made me hold back. I hesitated but pulled away from her. Narrowing her eyes at me she turned away and picked up Perseus.
It seemed that she was trying other ways to make me agree. After arguing for another half hour I finally gave Sophia permission to go. Under the condition that I will go with her, and she has to stay close to me.
"Thank you so much I really appreciate it. This means a lot to me. But who are we going to leave Percy with?" She asked.
"I think we should leave him with my daughter Nyx."
"Nyx is your daughter, I thought you said you hadn't taken care of a baby before."
"Yes Nyx is my daughter but she's always been able to take care of herself. Along with all my other children. They were the ones who took care of the next generation. That's the way it worked for a while."
"Oh, I didn't know that." For once she showed her true emotions, confusion.
"Well let's go find Nyx shall we?" Sophia smiled and we all left to go and find Nyx.
Sophia P.O.V.
I was very excited that I was going to go see Nyx. She is so nice to me, and doesn't care that my mother is her complete opposite. We used to hang out all the time, but that was before I started taking care of Percy. Nyx didn't even know about him. Sure she'd seen me with him before but they hadn't met before. Now was the perfect opportunity, it made me happy.
But I pretended that I wasn't as excited as I really am. That's when I saw her walking, most likely to just get some fresh air. I held back from running up to her and giving her a hard hug. I just waved at her and she began walking towards us. I gave her a hug and so did Chaos and Percy.
"Who are you young one?" Nyx asked Percy.
"Percy Jackson well everyone calls me that, like mommy, but my real name is Perseus." Percy replied smiling while doing so.
"Oh ok then, what are you doing with Chaos and Sophia?"
"They're my mommy and daddy." Percy said still smiling.
Nyx stared at me a few seconds, then at Chaos.
"What you didn't tell me about this father why?"
Chaos looked at me for a second. Then him and Nyx seemed to be having a telepathic conversation. A knowing look passed Nyx's beautiful features.
"Yes I understand now but why did you come? I don't think you came to me in order to just introduce me to Percy, right?"
"Your right we came to ask if you'd be willing to watch Percy, while Sophia and I are gone."
"Gone where are you going?"
"To a house on a distant planet."
She smirked at us and asked why.
"Because we have a bit of a mystery to solve. There are people targeting Sophia and want her to go to a house. In order to get her there they are killing her siblings. That is until she goes there. 20 of my soldiers died going into that house. I want to make sure Sophia is safe and figure out who is doing this."
"Ok I'll take care of Percy until you come back."
With that we said our good-byes and then left. It made me a little sad to leave Percy. But it wasn't for long.
Chaos teleported us in front of the house. I got this weird feeling we were being watched. But I didn't say anything because I figured I was being paranoid. Chaos turned to me, and my clothes began to shimmer and so did his. When it they stopped we had black robes on with a black trim.
I looked at him but all I could see was his mouth and below due to the hood on the robe. I also felt a backpack on me.
"Why do I have a robe and backpack on?" I asked slightly confused.
"The robe is going to let us be less noticeable in the shadows. The backpack is just in case anything happens and I can't help you when you may need it." He snapped his fingers and a lot of weapons appeared on us. There were knives, throwing knives, daggers, a sword, and a bow and arrow.
"There are also some weapons in your backpack. I am talking in your mind because someone may be listening or watching."
"Ok good so you also feel like we're being watched?"
"No not really and why didn't you tell me you thought we are being watched?"
I shrugged "I figured that I'm just being paranoid."
"Well now is not the time to argue so let's go in."
I put my hood on and waited for Chaos to start going. He was still then tucked my hair into the hood.
"Your hair is going to make you more noticeable."
The house seemed so cozy I liked it at first. Then I remembered what had happened here and that feeling was gone. All of the sudden I got this chill go down my back. I turned around really quickly and screamed. Chaos turned around too and seemed to be staring at the strange kid or whatever it was in front of us. It had grey skin and really big yellow eyes. It's eyes were three times bigger than my eyes. It had the body of a little boy who hadn't eaten in a while.
"What is it?" I whispered to Chaos.
"I'm not sure it certainly isn't one of my creations."
"What you didn't make it what if this is the thing that's been killing people?"
"That wasn't me but the people who did this are in the house. They don't know about me but they might know you're here because of your scream."
It was talking to us and that sent shivers down my spine.
"Ok but what are you and how can you understand us and talk?" I asked the strange creature.
"I used to be a regular boy but those people came here thousands of years ago and killed my family by doing experiments on us. I was the only one who survived but I am stuck looking like this now."
"I'm so sorry for you , that's terrible."I said.
"It's ok there is no need for you to apologize." It replied to me.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Agatone my name means good and kind."
"That's a nice name Agatone."
"Thank you."
"Agatone can you help us get away from the people in this house, and have you seen a girl who looks like me but younger with gold eyes?"
"Yes I can help you and I have seen where they keep the girl, follow me."
He led us to another wall that had pictures and decorations on it. He turned all of the pictures and pulled a gold vine decoration, and then pushed on the clock that was on the wall, and the wall turned. It seemed complicated that was good because that way it wouldn't be easy for the people to get in. Agaton continued walking through the corridor and turned left than right and we walked into a small room.
"Why were you following us earlier?"
"Because you seemed to be good people and I was hoping that maybe you could help me get back to my original state. Also you might be able to make those people leave my house."
"Where are we, why have you taken us into a room?" Asked Chaos and I noticed it was the first time he talked directly to Agatone.
Agaton didn't reply he only walked over to one of the walls and pushed a brick. A map of the house rolled down from the roof.
"Here we are these are the seceret passage ways. This is the room they like to go into and just sit and talk. Over here is where your friend is."
"Actually she's my sister, well half sister we have the same mother."
"So you brought us in here to show us where they are at, but are you going to help us get there?" Chaos asked.
Agatone only ignored him and showed us a safe route on how to get to my sister. But I was also curious if he would lead the way or just let us do it on our own.
"Agatone are you going to lead us there?"
He seemed to be having a war with himself. He looked up at me and I smiled at him.
"Please you know this house better than us can you lead the way?"
"Ok I'll take you there but you will have to kill them or they will go after you again."
"Thank you so much we really appreciate your help." I said.
He lead us through the corridors with Agatone in the front, me right behind him, and Chaos at the rear. I started wondering why Agatone only spoke to me, why not Chaos as well?
We finally arrived in another room and sitting on a bed hands tied behind her back, feet tied, and a piece of tape on her mouth was my sister. I felt tears of joy sting at the corners of my eyes. She turned and looked at me and her eyes grew big. I was about to go towards her when Chaos put a hand in front of me. He started stepping on certain places, and ducking a few times then he got to my sister, picked her up and brought her over.
That's when the doorknob started to jiggle and someone came in and closed the door behind them. In a second they had a knife in there throat. They fell and Chaos made the body disappear and we went back into the tunnels. As soon as we were in I took off the ropes on my sister and made the tape disappear.
We hugged and then she had the same things on as me and Chaos.
Traveling a little longer we came upon a room filled with people. I began firing arrows along with my sister, while Chaos was throwing daggers. In a matter of minutes they were all dead.
We went through the entire house and killed the rest of the people. When we finished Chaos did a spell on the boy and turned him back to his regular self. He thanked us and we said our good-byes and returned home.
