A/N: Oh my Hades! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while…I just concentrated on my other stories.
Anyways here it is!
-:xXOXx:-
Recap: "Come On," she encouraged them and the next thing Camp Half Blood knew. They were running at full speed out of the safety of the Camp and back to the Wilderness.
-:xXOXx:-
Leo watched as Thalia strode through the Camp's barriers. Damn! Stupid Hunter. He blamed Jane mentally.
"Um…Leo," Nyssa called.
"What?"
"Well…you might not like this but I swear we don't know who did it," she said frantically, sobs heaving heavily and eyes already red.
"What is it?" Leo asked, getting nervous. It isn't likely for a Hephaestus kid to show emotions.
"Well…Harley, was stabbed," she exclaimed and cried more.
"What!" Leo yelled and ran back up the deck.
True to her word, Harley was there, sobbing heavily with blood gushing from his side.
"Who did this?" Leo roared, flames starting to emanate from him. The Apollo kids stepped back from him and announced, "Jane,"
"That bitch," he yelled and from his hand, a flame sprouted from nothing. He then threw it to the Hunter's direction, and he slumped.
"L-l-leo?" Harvey called, he was now sputtering up blood.
"What Harley? Do something, your Apollo's right?" he yelled frantically getting close to Harley.
"Thanks for being an awesome brother," he whispered to Leo and tears prickled his eyes. He looked around and saw that all his brothers and sisters were crying softly.
"You won't die, even if you do, we'll pull you out of the Underworld," he promised and glared at the Apollo cabin. "Don't just stand there,"
"We can't heal him," they grumbled glaring at Leo.
"Why?"
"Because our father had stated so, we lose our powers if we do," an Apollo kid said.
"Don't be selfish!" Piper exclaimed.
By now, Harley was just looking around, taking in his surroundings, his head on Leo's lap. "Thanks Leo," then his eyes closed.
"Bring me Apollo," Leo whispered then repeated again in a yell
Drew was watching the spectacle with concern and a little care. Harley was always the one that any camper could count on. And the way Leo acted, like he's a big brother or something.
She watched as Harley close his eyes, and her tears came pouring down.
"I-i-I w-w-will," Drew volunteered and contacted her mother.
Hey Drew
Bring us Apollo. She commanded.
Why? Oh!. Her mother must have looked back again in the mortal world.
I will…
"He's coming," she said and knelt close to Harley. "She took Leo's hands and cleaned it off of blood.
"Aphrodite chucked me here
I'm so mad
I was dating a chick
And I'm awesome," Apollo appeared and he looked mad.
"You," Leo advanced on the Sun God, his hammer on fire.
"Don't you dare," Apollo said and got hammered once on the head. HE fell and the Apollo cabin went to him glaring at Leo and some taking out their daggers.
"You can't just kill a God" Apollo appeared again and Leo thunked him again.
The Apollo cabin decided that enough was enough and attacked Leo but before they could, Jason, Thalia, Piper, Annabeth and Nyssa attacked them.
Jason and Thalia combined their electricity currents and electrocuted all the Apollo campers and another Apollo.
Leo shoot fire to the heavens and Piper, Annabeth and Nyssa attacked the other Apollo campers.
"You demigod," Apollo descended from the west. His eyes and skin was on fire and was looking murderous. With every step he went close, the temperature shoot off. Of Course, this didn't bother Leo but the others were.
Surprisingly, a wave of cold, clean seawater formed a wall. "Percy?" Annabeth said hopefully.
"Nope," Poseidon said emerging from the water confines and willed the water to douse Apollo.
Pretty soon, all Olympian god was there and fighting amongst each other. It was obvious who was siding with whom. Athena, Aphrodite, Dionysus, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Hermes, and Zeus were on Leo's while Artemis, Apollo, Hades, Ares, and Hera was on Apollo's. While Hestia was trying to actually stop the war, by releasing green mist and yelling that war is not the answer.
"Silence!" Zeus yelled. "Now,"
"The two guilty parties step forward. Leo stepped forward and as Apollo forwarded, he incidentally step on Harley's face.
Instinctively, Zeus, Leo, Hephaestus, Poseidon, Jason and Thalia attacked him. Drew watched as Leo stood up to a god, bravely.
He and Hephaestus sent fire, while Zeus and Poseidon double teamed and sent electrocuted water, Athena and Aphrodite, to the camper's shock, united and whisked Harley away, while Dionysus and Hermes quickly rushed to the battle scene.
"You morons," Hermes yelled and quickly chucked each of the opposing side's heads.
"Shut Up," Apollo and Artemis pinned him down with some arrows and Athena secretly, misguided the arrows.
"Retreat all of you," Leo commanded and the demigods left the battle scene. Now only the gods, Leo, Nyssa, Thalia, Drew, Piper, Jason, Annabeth, Clarisse, who to their surprise sided with Leo, and the Hunters.
Zeus shocked Hades and he sent shadows to his brother. Meanwhile, Poseidon and Athena was fighting Ares and Artemis with vigor.
"Not bad for a geeky know-it-all Athena," Poseidon grunted deflecting Ares' sword.
Artemis shoot another arrow and Athena deflected it with sheer mental power.
Hera was trying to stop Hermes and Aphrodite was trying to protect the retreating demigods.
"Stop," she yelled and everyone stopped, "I will not have my family be divided once more,"
"Apollo, Hades, heal this boy," she commanded and Harley was brought to them reluctantly by Aphrodite.
Apollo waved his hand and Harley breathed once more. "Leo," he said breathlessly.
"Harley," Nyssa said and enveloped him into a hug. "Now, where is the Apollo spawn?" Aphrodite and Athena snarled.
"You don't care!" Artemis and Apollo said shielding the frustrated girl from view.
"I swear to the river styx, that you will never find love, never," Aphrodite cursed pointing at the three. Green and pink mist spewed out of her eyes and mouth and the sky rumbled.
"You slut," Jane yelled, her black hair shining and took out her dagger. She stabbed Aphrodite with her silver dagger and she keeled. She had not expected that move.
"You have been ruining my life ever since," she yelled twisting her dagger and Aphrodite coughed blood.
Piper and Drew ran to their mother and sent Jane flying away with a flick of their hands. "Mom," Drew said shakily.
"It's ok, I'm alright," she said and Piper cried. The Aphrodite cabin ran to their mother and once they got a look of her they stood up wiped their faces and faced the 5 offending gods: Apollo, Artemis, Hades, Ares and Hera.
All their faces were hard and for once they all agreed on the same color of hair and eyes, black.
Their nostrils flared and attacked as once, a magical scream that threw the 5 gods from their feet.
"This is disrespect," Artemis sneered and shot one camper.
The Demeter Cabin yelled as the camper keeled over. "You slut," Demeter yelled appearing.
She healed the camper and motioned to her kids to follow her. The campers stood up but before they could attack, Father and Daughter collided.
"You worthless scumbag," Clarisse yelled.
"You worthless daughter," he spat and Clarisse recoiled for a little. Instinctively, Chris
appeared and stabbed Ares on the back.
"So weak," he muttered before disappearing, only to appear back to his side.
Aphrodite spewed up more blood. "Oh dear," Demeter said and Hestia arrived.
"Let there be peace," Hestia said and fire spewed from behind her. Fortunately, the gods relaxed, except for Apollo, and Aphrodite.
"Apollo, heal Aphrodite, without poison, might I say," Hestia commanded in a sweet tone that promise bitter revenge if he does not comply.
"You poisoned my son," Hephaestus lunged at Apollo after he healed Aphrodite. Right now, Harley was kneeling over spewing out blood and green liquid.
"Let there be war," Annabeth yelled and attacked.
Artemis and Athena fought for dominance with swords while Apollo and Hephaestus got a stand-off of heat and fire.
"I also have control over fire," Hades said and helped Apollo. Unfortunately Ares was nearby. "ME too," he butted in and the three defeated Hephaestus.
Poseidon threw his net at the two and Hades turned into a shadow. He appeared holding a dagger down Zeus' neck, while Apollo was freed by Hera, and Ares dissolved.
Hera's eyes glowed as Zeus shocked all 5 gods.
Poseidon, Zeus and Hephaestus tagged team and defeated Hera's magic powers who was being aided by Hecate.
"Oh my," Leo said as all the demigods retreated to a safer distance. He took Harley in his arms and Aphrodite whisked them away.
"There, Hestia and Demeter will keep you safe," Aphrodite said spewing up more golden blood.
"Mom," Drew kneeled down.
"You've been a good daughter, but I'm so sorry if it doesn't turn up the way you wanted it to…But remember Love is what keeps the world around…Live, Laugh and Love…never forget that…I love you" these were the last words spoken by Aphrodite before getting mortally wounded by Apollo's arrow.
Her body glowed pink and her last breath was gone.
Piper and Drew cried hard, hugging each other. No matter, how much they cried and pleaded, they couldn't get their mother to wake up.
"Please Mom," Drew cried. She had been the best mom ever.
"Mom, please wake up, I'll dress up for you…I'll even go shopping with you," she cried.
The other Aphrodite campers were advancing again on the battle field but Hestia had conjured up a force field.
"Let us have a go at them," they said viciously.
"No," Hestia said, appearing in her 8-year old form.
The Aphrodite group calmed down a little. "I can always adopt all of you," Hestia said wistfully.
Just then, they watched as Artemis stabbed Athena on the leg with her sword. Hestia immediately vanished and took her.
"Why don't they go all godly form?" a camper asked.
"Do you want us all to die?" Annabeth snapped, she was getting worried.
Athena and Hestia appeared and Athena screamed as she saw Aphrodite.
"Oh my…no," she said.
To their surprise, Aphrodite began glowing again and she was brought back to life. She breathed again and smiled.
"Athena," she said and laid down Athena on the plant bed, Demeter conjured.
"How?" Athena asked.
"Later," she said and Athena flinched, she had lost too much Golden Ichor. "I'm dying, Aphrodite, and because of my heritage, it's permanent,"
"no," tears prickled Aphrodite's eyes again, "They need you, haven't you always said to me that logic is much more needed than love? Because Love can be subdued,"
"Aphrodite," Athena started.
"It's you who has to go on, they need you," Aphrodite began pouring her own vitality to Athena.
"No, please!" she began struggling but Aphrodite just pinned her down.
"Win this war, for me," she said and a pink glow emanated from her. When all the light cleared up, Athena was standing in full armor and full strength while Aphrodite was dead.
Her mother is dead. This news hit Drew straight to the chest. The mother that she knew before, the one that spoilt her, the one that kept her from being eaten, the one that loved her.
-:xXOXx:-
A/N: This is so dramatic and full of action, if I do say so myself…Poor Aphrodite.
