Chapter 4: A Trio Go On A Quest And We Meet The Di Angelo's

Standing in the doorway was Bianca Di Angelo

"Bianca!" Luke cried

"Wait how do you know Bianca?" I asked confused

"everyone does Percy." Luke said

"Bianca Grace daughter of Zeus, head counsellor of Zeus and Luke's friend for five years." Bianca said "and who are you? You acted like you know me."

"yeah." I said "you do seem quite familiar I'm Percy by the way, Percy Jackson son of …. "

"so an undetermined?" Bianca asked me sympathetically

"yeah." I said "something like that."

"well hope you enjoy this quest because it could be the last one you ever go on kid."

"we'll see." I murmured smiling at her.

We stood in silence for a few moments before Chiron broke the ice and asked us "well shall we be off then we can only take you as far as Brooklyn you know then you're on your own."

We got into Brooklyn about half an hour later and we got out on Argus' van. He shot us a look that looked lime he was trying to say "good luck you'll need it."

"well." I said "We've got two days to do this then."

"why so little time?" Luke asked.

"because Mr D gave me a note only allowing two days." I said

"well then let's go get on a train." Bianca said and with that we headed towards the train station after a train headed for Los Angeles where we knew Annabeth and Hades must be waiting. Of course it could also be two different people….

Annabeth's P.O.V

"so the heroes are coming after us. Hmm. Very well we will allow them to reach us and in two days we will destroy them!"

"m-ma'am.." a new voice stuttered.

"what is it Nakamura?" I snapped at him

"it's j-just." stammered Ethan Nakamura the 14 year old son of Hecate " what if they get here and manage to stop us?"

"what!" I roared my eyes flashing murderously "you believe we can be defeated?"

"n-no." he whimpered "but still we should have insurance."

"and so we shall Nakamura." I stated "and to do this you must release project 1."

"b-but Annabeth we swore never to use that you know how dangerous it is."

"yes it is." I giggled "and that's why it will stop the half bloods as soon as they reach us if not sooner besides they can't stop project 1."

"why m-ma'am?" Ethan stuttered.

"you'll see oh you'll all see." I shrieked

Luke's P.O.V

We arrived in St. Louis and we got off the train with an hour to spend how we wanted before we had to get on the train to continue towards Los Angeles

"I-I'll stay here." Percy muttered "I've had bad experiences here."

"very well." I drawled at him annoyed at his cowardice "I'll go with Bianca and explore a little."we walked away with Percy telling us to be careful and we headed towards the Mississippi river.

We were walking past an orphanage when Bianca told me to stop.

"what is it?" I asked suddenly on full alert for monsters

"two half-Bloods possibly quite powerful are in there." she said "Can't you sense them?"

"yes I sense three powerful beings though not two." I said

"monster?" she asked nervously

"I tried to sense the third being again "monster." I confirmed

"well let's give them a house call." Bianca replied smiling as she led the way into the orphanage.

We walked in and asked if there were any unusual kids here.

"why?" asked the girl behind the counter. She had headphones in her ears and was chewing gum. You know a typical teenage rebel attitude girl.

"because they might be useful to us for a..T.V show." Bianca said immediately.

"oh you must mean the Di Angelo's" she said "come with me I'll show you them."

"thank you." Bianca said smiling sweetly at the older girl.

We walked up two flights of stairs and were told to go into the far room as the girl left an angry looking, fat, balding man rounded the corner and asked who we were

"I'm jenny and this is Steve we're new here." Bianca stated to the angry looking man.

"well I'm watching you." he growled and he shuffled off into his room.

"I think that's the monster." I said to her and right on cue an ugly hideous two headed beast with wings covering it's long snake like body and fangs dripping with poison and ooze with talons that looked sharper than steel and stronger than Titanium.

"well hello demigods." the monster crooned "thought I wouldn't sense you?"

"what are you?" Bianca asked shocked at it's appearance.

"why dear…" the beast started "I'm a snedjil."

(AN: a snedjil I just made up on the spot and is not anything to do with mythology)

"oh I remember you." Bianca said "you were defeated by been stabbed anywhere on your body once with celestial bronze."

"yes dear." he crooned "I may be weak to your weapons indeed weaker than most monsters but I am agile and cunning so you might as well surrender to me now before I destroy you."

"never." Bianca whispered and in one strike she leapt aside as the monster dived at her and she stabbed upwards the celestial bronze ripping into the monster.

"no!" he screeched as he was ripped apart his essence returning to Tartarus.

"Well let's go get those kids." I said

We went into the room and saw two kids. One had dark hair and blue eyes whilst the other one had olive skin and dark eyes.

"who are you?" they asked scared at the sight of our swords

"we won't hurt you." I whispered

"it's alright." Bianca said "we're here to take you with us to safety from monsters."

"Really?" the one with the olive skin who was younger asked "you'll keep us safe from those mean monsters."

"sure." Bianca laughed "what's your name kiddo?"

"Nico." the boy said

"and who are you?" I asked the girl

"Thalia." she said "Thalia Di Angelo."

Twenty minutes later we had reached the train and we met up with Percy. We told him the story about the monster and the kids and we sat on the train as it pulled out headed for Los Angeles.

"so." Bianca said

"well." Percy said

"where are we-" Nico started

"-going?" Thalia started

"to the lord of the dead and Annabeth." I spat bitterly.

Preview of chapter 5:

"what is that?" Bianca asked in disgust at the human like beast towering above us

"well." Annabeth said whilst looking at Luke's lifeless form on the ground with disgust. "this is project 1 say hello."

I felt rage building in me. Suddenly golden energy flowed from me and blasted into project 1 and in a wail of anger it exploded.

"w-what is this?" Annabeth roared

"power of Kronos!" I roared unsure where that came from "come to me!"

And with a wail it enveloped Annabeth and she and I as one burst into golden light and disappeared…
