Chapter 4: Bad Luck
-Back at Olympus-
NORMAL POV
The gods had 'invited' or more like commanded the deimi-gods in charge of the cabins to come to Olympus, and the Prateors too from Camp Jupiter. Everyone was on edge as they sat down in the throne of the gods. The gods on the other hand, were quite puzzled. Which is probably normal, if it was Hermes trying to plan another prank or Aphrodite trying to decided on a new couple or what to wear.
Zeus coughed to get everyone elses attention and espically Drake who was complaining, which the gods really want to kill, even Poseidon ( well a little). They all went silent after Annabeth slapped Drake's head to be quiet, only if there was a snooze button on his head to make him quiet or better yet a 'Shut up' button, which Hephateus wanted to try.
" As you know, deimi-gods have been arriving at both Camp Half-blood and Camp Jupiter, mostly telling themselves being saved by Mystogan, or A.K.A. Mist, and Luna. Mostly from being killed, or being found nearly dead."
The deimi-gods looked at each other. Jason raised his hand.
" Do you know who they are?" The gods shook their heads.
" That's the problem, as much we are thankful to them, we don't know who they are." said Athena.
Drake scoffed. " They can't be all that good." the gods glared at him, which frankly isn't good if you don't want to be burnt like a crisp like an over-cooked BBQ.
" Well, we've been trying to get anything on them, but..." said Artemis.
Apollo raised his hand, which is surprising, since he always listen to his Ipod.
" Actually, I'm getting one of my daughters to see if she can get anything on them." Both the gods and deimi-gods turned to him.
" What?! WHY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING SOONER!?" yelled Zeus. Hera and the others tried to calm him down.
" I did it at the last minute! besides she usually finds some like that easily." said Apollo.
On cue, they heard running and saw a girl with black hair but was brown when light shone on it, and brown eyes running toward them. She looked like about 18 years old and she was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, a red t-shirt over it that had nice graphics on them, with a black vest, and demin pants. Everyone watched as she ran and tripped on her own shoes, as she started to roll and hit her head on a column. Will and the others ran to her. She raised her hand and yelled.
" I'm okay!" she got up and rubbed her head. She was sweating.
" Sorry I'm late! Ran into some hell hounds, and had to take care of some errands." she said.
The deimi-gods turned her head.
" We haven't seen you in Camp before." said Annabeth.
She looked up and squinted her eyes, Annabeth blinked and saw her face blank. Was she imagining things?
" Well I never made it to camp for a long time until I was 15 but that was a short while before I had to leave on some bussiness which I ain't going to tell , then after I turned 16 in August, I left camp to go and take care of my family." she said with a smile, as she finished it in rapid speaking.
" Audrey, have you found anything?" everyone blinked.
" Wait she's a daughter of Apollo?" said Leo. She turned to Leo.
" Yes I am, never guessed with this hair and eyes? and no they aren't fake, they are real." she said before anyone asked.
Drake started to drop his mouth. Audrey turned to face Apollo.
" I kinda found something but it was hard to obtain, seeing who I had to get it from..." she muttered.
Everyone blinked, but she sighed.
" What's wrong?" asked Hermes.
" It destroyed itself, when I stepped outside of the elevator. " everyone just stared at her.
" What do you mean?" she held up her hand and they saw burnt marks, flesh charred, and wrapped.
Everyone gasped, and some had to cover their mouths from hurling.
" I was trying to bring out the disk but, when it started to destroy itself, this happened. I'm sorry." everyone nodded.
" Unfortunaetly we did not get the footage that we wanted but however we feel Mist and Luna, are not dangerous." said Zeus.
" Why is that?" said Thalia.
" Because, they have been givving punishment to those who were harming the other deimi-gods." said Athena.
" What do you mean?"
" Normally the furies would track those who have go against the gods, and dealing with high crimes, but since they are all over the world, it's hard. " said Hades.
" But, since 3000 year ago, Hades told us that the numbers have dropped, and some say it was caused by Mist and Luna." said Hera.
Everyone widened their eyes. Audrey crossed her arms and leaned against a column.
" That doesn't mean they're good." said Drake. Audrey laughed.
" It also means they aren't bad." she retorted.
Drake glared at her and tried to point her neck with his sword but soon he found himself kicked at a long distance. Everyone watched. Drake got up and growled at her. Audrey stood up and put her fist on her hip. He charged at her who just side-stepped, and tripped his legs. The gods tried not to laugh. Drake charged at her with full anger, but she side-stepped again. She kicked his legs, momentarally leaving him in the air, before she arched her leg kicking him in the stomache. She curled her hand before hitting his chin, as she sky-uppercuted him, and kicked her legs as she pushed him to a column. Everyone gasped. She grabbed his neck, as he tried to break free.
" Pathetic." she said. He widened his eyes.
" With that attitude, you would die instantly in battle." she let go of his neck, as he started to cough. Annabeth ran to him. She began to walk, her shoes echoing in the room, toward Zeus. She bowed.
" I'm sorry for my actions before." The gods looked at each other.
" Rise." she did and Apollo gestured her to come and stand with him. She did. Apollo scooped her up and placed her on his throne, her feet dangling.
" On other bussiness, Hermes, Apollo have you found anything about Perseus Jackson?" they shook their heads, everyone went slumped.
" Hades?" he shook his head.
" He's not in the underworld, no matter how many times, me, my daughter, and my son went through looking for his soul." Nico and Hazel's face went down.
Drake laughed.
" Who cares about that weakling?" suddenly he felt himself pinned to the wall, as arrows locked his clothing high in the air.
Everyone stared as they saw Audrey, Artemis, Thalia, and Apollo holding a bow. Audrey hung her head back.
" Would you damn shut up?" she said in a different voice.
Everyone stared at her. The room darkened a little. She stood up, and everyone shivered.
" You are a such a damn stupid,rotten,idiot,impecile,low,ugly brat." she spat.
Everyone remained silent, as they had amused faces.
" You think you are all mightly? Well you aren't." the room rebrightened again, and she sat back down, as she blinked.
" What the hell just happened?" she said, confusingly.
The room was silent before Zeus coughed again. "Well, we shall continue remain finding him, and deal with the problems."
As everyone began to leave, Audrey began to walk slowly, looking at the deimi-gods.
Annabeth's POV
I was sitting down after making out with Drake, looking over some plans. Recently our camp has become more lively since we'e been getting more campers. What puzzled us, was when they got here, they told us they were all saved by people named Luna and Mystogan. Mostly from near death experinces. Though no one really knows who they are, they've been the talk of the camp.
I walked over to the Big House and found Chiron sitting at his desk with a troubled face.
" Chiron, what's the matter?" he looked up and rubbed his eyes.
" Ah Annabeth! It's just the deimi-gods talking about Luna and Mystogan, and the gods trying to find Percy. "
I gripped my hands. " Also we've been asked to do a quest, or more like a job." I widened my eyes.
" There has been a large increase of monsters in one place, that've been threatening deimi-gods and mortals, so we've been asked to take care of it with the Romans. " I nodded.
So that's how we were on our way to a part of the city where mortals don't go, much. With me were, Clarisse, Malcom, Will, Jason, and Drake. Everyone was walking far away from Drake and me as much as possible as we walked toward the abondaned warehouse. Drake stopped us when he pointed to a girl with black hair, that was also blond at the end, with blue eyes. She was about 18 years old and was about my height. She was sleeve-less, red checkered skirt with chains, black shorts, and boots that reached to her knees. She was wearing a cloak with long-sleeved gloves that left the fingers free. She was carrying a weapon, which I couldn't make out and had a sun and moon clip. Her hair wa in a pony-tail, but one piece of her hair was left free. We got our weapons out and walked toward her. " Man she looks hot." muttered Drake, I glared at him. She turned around to look at us then looked around.
" Hey." said Drake in a flirtarious voice. She looked at us and looked at us, Her cloak instantly covering her body.
" Yes?"
" What is a pretty girl like you doing here...?" I slapped his head, and cleared my throat.
" Excuse me, what are you doing here?" she looked at us and back at me.
" What is a son of Poseidon and a daughter of Athena doing here? Which is the question I like to ask.
" We stepped back and pointed our weapons at her. She looked at us and laughed. She waved her hand, her cloak flapping and suddenly our weapons felt so heavy that we had to drop it.
" Save your energy for a real fight." she said as she turned around, walking away her heels clicking on the pavement. Drake chased her and tried to grab her before he got kicked in the stomache by her, blood spluttered.
" Drake!"
" Damn you!" he got up and tried to control the water and hit her but she just dodged it with one step and when he tried to hit her again, she raised her hand, as the water went into million droplets.
" Not very impressive for a son of Poseidon. What a let down." she said.
Suddenly there was a growl and we looked to see a Hyrda. We gasped and we tried to distance ourselves. We ran, and when it tried to catch up to us, Drake slashed it's head.
" WHOOT!" we all screamed.
" YOU IDIOT! IT MULTIPLIES EVERYTIME YOU CUT IT'S HEAD!" he widened his eyes as the Hydra had more heads.
We tried to defeat it but without fire, we couldn't kill it. When it knocked our weapons away, and charged at us. We braced for the attack but we heard it howl. We looked to see the girl with a flames in her hand. We gasped. She looked at us.
" Stay here." The hydra launched all of it's head at her and we screamed. She held out her palm and grabbed the fire as it became a flaming sword. She swung it at the Hyrdra's head, defeating it. It began to rot, and the smell was horrible, we backed away from the acid. She knelt down and began to take some of the acid.
" Careful! It can kill you!" warned Will.
She bottled the caps and put it in her cloak. She held out her hand and muttered something, soon a bright light surronded it, dragging it away. She turned toward us and walked right past us.
" Don't die." she said. Drake raged with fury. We all resumed back to our misson and we found the warehouse. We began to sneak it and saw thousands of monsters in one warehouse.
" Oh gods... that is a lot of monsters..." muttered Malcom.
" We gotta get more back-up!" said Malcom, we nodded. We began to quietly sneak away until Drake just charged at one of the monsters. It roared and soon we were surrounded.
" DAMN IT DRAKE! YOU ARE THE MOST STUPIDEST DEIMI-GOD EVER!" yelled Clarisse.
I mentally agreed with her. We began to defend ourselves until when we were near to our escape, Drake kept on fightning the monsters. We were knocked away by a dragon's tail and we all landed on the floor, weaponless.
" Damn it Drake! You never charge like that into battle! Never!" I yelled.
We braced ourselves to be eaten, but until we heard it howl. We looked and saw it's head covered with arrows. A girl landed near us, and saw the girl we saw from before. She looked at us with the corners of her eye, we shivered. The monsters growled at us. She threw her cloak away, and got her sword out. It was sleek and looked very heavy, and sharp. It was desgined like a Katana but the handle was different, it looked like an english noble sword, but it was clearly not western. She pointed at the monsters.
" Stay here and don't move, or I wil kill you." she threatened.
The monsters charged and she began to charge. She did spirals, slashes, jumps and kicks, and was almost like it was on a show. A monster began to charge at her in the back as she was fending off some hellhounds but then there was a metal chain around it's neck. We looked and saw a boy with black hair and purple eyes. He looked almost beautiful, he was grabbing the chain and yelled. He did a 15 feet jump and twirled the chain, carrying the monster and slamming it on the ground. It howled before it stopped moving.
More monsters began to charge at both of them, and they did spirals. They grabbed their hands together as they jumped to one side, the monsters colliding into each other. A girl with black hair with hair dyes and purple eyes appeared and shot out her hand. Flames shot out, eliminating them.
" Let see... Emprosias, Hellhounds, dragons..." we spun to see a girl with brown hair and green eyes.
She was wearing a black sports jacket with a hoodie, dark green t-shirt, and shorts that reached to her thigh, ripped slightly, and boots. She was writing into a notebook. A monster charged at her from her sides. We gasped and tried to yell at her, but she looked up and there was a oricana. She put it to her lips and began to play. The ground began to rise and we were in the air, she began to play a different tune. Huge vines appeared and wrapped around the monsters. I looked and saw a Chimera, Telekhines, and a monster with two heads, a body of a serpent, but wings and feet of a bird.
"Hm... a Amphisbaena. They're not suppose to attack people..." she waved her hand and the Amphisbaena was raised to her face. We gasped.
" Are you crazy?!" yelled Clarisse.
She brought the instrument to her lips and played a calming tune. The Amphisbaena, stopped snapping at her as it softly rubbed its head to her arms. She petted it before putting it down. She removed the vines, and the ground went back down. She pointed at the monsters and the Amphisbaena began to attack them. A bunch of dracanes began to attack us but were instantly vaporized. We blinked and saw a boy with brown hair floating in the air, holding a sword, that was in a plain wooden handel and sheath. He was wearing a headband with a piece of metal on it, and his face was covered only revealing his eyes. He was also wearing a black t-shirt, with demin jeans, with chains on the side, with a saddle bag. He dropped down, and reached into his bag. He took a bottle out and threw it at a bunch of monsters and they turned to cute fluffy bunnies.
Soon there was no monsters left, other than the Amphisbaena who was eating a cookie that the brown haired girl was holding out. We gasped at them, there was a lot of monsters yet they managed to take them down... I looked and saw Drake fuming. Jason got up and walked over to the girl we saw on our way here. She grabbed her cloak and put it on. She put the hood back on before turning back to Jason. He held out his hand.
" Thanks for saving us from our irresponisble companian. My name is Jason, son of Jupiter." Her companions stood next to her.
She held out her hand to take his. She shook it gently.
" Your welcome. It's better for you to leave as soon as possible, monsters will stream in after they get a whiff of their companions death." she nodded.
" May I ask your name?" she opened her mouth but suddenly the ground shook.
We all went down to the ground but the mysterious people remained still and looked around, totally calm. Soon behind them, the ground began to crack, and they began to run pulling us with them. We stopped far away and we gasped as we watched a giant come out. He had brown hair, and had a beard. He was quite different from the giants we fought from the past, but he was like a human. He was wearing greek, roman and a mixture of Eygpitian armor, in his hand was a sword. He looked at us, and we got our weapons out that we retrieved as we were running.
" Tityos..." muttered the girl with the cloak. I gasped.
" Who...?!" said Drake.
" Son of Eltra, son of Zeus. He was hidden away in the deep ground from Hera, but he grown so huge, that he broke out of his mother's womb."we gagged.
" He was raised by Gaia, and he tried to rape Leto, Apollo and Artemis mother. He was killed by them and was totured in the depths of Tartarus the same punishment of Promthemus." explained the brown haired girl.
The girl in the cloak, backed away slowly.
" I have to check the other places... if he's here, thousands of monsters are going to barge in to support him. " they nodded and she began to run.
Tityo's roared.
" Foolish deimi-gods...! You have offened me by defeating my foster mother Gaia!" he roared.
Everyone began to go in battle positions. We heard explosions and howling. Tityos began to attack us and we dodged it. We began to attack but of course Drake began to attack first, and put us in danger. We were all thrown back in one place, and we all yelled 'oof'. Soon spikes of earth rose and trapped us. We gasped. He laughed.
" I shall destroy you and help waken Gaia once again." I gulped.
As we were about to be killed, he roared as flash of energy hit him. We looked and saw Audrey standing right in front of us. She was wearing a black t-shirt, with white sleeves under her shirt, and was wearing demin jeans and black converse. Her hair tied into a pony tail. She was panting and had several scratches bleeding slowly. She slipped on her gloves and was holding out a huge dragon teeth sword that was really broad. She turned to us
." Hold on for a moment!" we nodded, but Drake tried to break out by slamming himself.
Jason pulled and when he failed he electrocuted him. He fell to the ground, paralysed. Tityos roared and tried to squish Audrey. She jumped on his arm and began to hit him, causing him to bleed. She was moving so fast that Tityos couldn't get her. Frustrated, he began to rise his arm and slam at us. We screamed. Audrey turned to us and soon she had a huge canon in her hand. She held it and began to shoot bullets of energy that were big as a truck. He roared and slammed Audrey. She screamed. She fell to the ground, blood pouring. I covered my mouth.
" AUDREY!" yelled the other group, they began to try and break the cage. Tityos grabbed her and grinned.
" Daughter of Apollo...? PERFECT! I shall deal with you to toture Apollo and Artemis! " her head was bleeding and I began to panic.
Suddenly a flash of lightning was shot out and slashed his arm off. He howled in pain. Audrey began to fly, and a man in a cloak that resembled the sky changing, caught her. He flew gracefully down and landed down as if he was flying. He put her down and felt her forehead. I saw his heads and his eyes were constantly changing, so I couldn't see his face. He walked over to Tityos who glared at him.
" You...! " the man had a celestial bronze sword, that looked almost riptide but it wasn't.
It began to sparkle energy, and it began to bigger. We all watched in amazement. He held out his hand and a wave of air shot out, toppling Tityos. He fell to the ground. Audrey was there beside him, with difficultly. He put an arm around her waist, and they both began to fly in the air. She positioned her canon, and it began to charge. The man let go and began to dive at Tityos. He swung his sword, a slash began to send blood flying. He howled. The man flew aside as Tityos tried to grab him. The canon was shot and it hit his hand. His hand began to burn, his skin turning to ashes, as it began to spread.
" Noo...!" soon, he was just ashes and was blown away by a strong wind.
The man grabbed Audrey as she began to drop, and they both landed safetly. The cage began to crumble. We ran to Audrey who was panting heavily. Will began to work on her as fast as he could.
" It's no good...! We're gonna need heavy back up!" he yelled.
The brown hair girl crotched down next to her and began to play a tune. Plants began to grow and began to touch her wounds. It began to glow as her wounds began to heal a little. She stoppe playing, her face pale. The boy with brown hair, held her. The other girl placed her hand above Audrey's body and began to speak rapidly. Light began to glow, and her blood began to leak slowly.
" I've slowed her injuries possibly enough time to heal her." I watched in amazement.
" Stop gasping in amazement!" yelled the man. I jumped.
He carried her protectivelty. Suddenly wind began to envelop us and we all closed our eyes. When we opened them again, we saw the Olympians staring at us in shock. The boy with the black hair got Audrey from the man as he stepped back. Audrey began to sweat. The gods saw what's wrong and instantly went to their human sizes, as they ran up to us. Apollo looked super worried as he touche her forehead. Hestia came over and whiffed up a bed as the boy put her on the bed. " What happened?" said Zeus.
" T...it...yos..." said Audrey weakly. Everyone looked shocked.
Audrey looked at them with a weak grin, one of her eyes closed.
" He...kinda...insulted...you dad... and... Artemis... do...you...think...I...can let him get away with it?" Apollo softened, as he kissed her forehead, so did Artemis. She walked over and knelt down. She took her hand and rubbed it softly and gently.
Soon he began to treat her and soon she was bandaged and was safetly breathing.
" We have to get rid of him..." said Poseidon before he got cut off by the man.
" That won't be nessceary Poseidon. He has been dealt with." we all looked at him.
Now without the monsters and about to be dead around us, I realized he was about 18 years old, but looked young. With the cloak on it was hard to see his face, only revealing his bottom face.
" How...?" asked Hermes.
Athena had a certain look on her face, but stopped as she touched her head. I looked at her worriedly.
" She and I worked together." Audrey chuckled
" Hey did you get a look on his face? He was like ' oh my gods! what the heck?'." The man tilted his head a little and smiled.
" Are you gonna be okay?" she got up steadily and walked over to him. She held out her fist.
" We're deimi-gods, if we don't recover from this, when can we?" she grinned.
He smiled and did a fist. She and him, moved their fists, as if as a high-five. The other group got up and walked over to him.
" You better go, there's something stirring around." she said in a serious voice.
They nodded before the man rubbed her head. They began to walk away before they disappeared into thin air. We all gasped. Jason and Will ran over to where they disappeared.
" They're gone." Audrey slumped down before grabbing her stomache. We all ran to her.
" Don't force your self!" she looked at them with a grin.
" I'm good..." she got up and swayed a little.
" Who was that...?" asked Hephateus. She looked at them. She raised an eyebrow. The gods blinked, as if they understood.
" Wait who was that bastard?" said Drake.
The next them we knew, he was in the air, upside down.
" What!?" Audrey was staring angrily at him. She got her sword and rammed it in the leaned on it, with her arms crossed. I got angry with her and got my dagger at her. I threw it down at her, and I got her in the shoulder.I widned my eyes as she didn't dodge it. She looked up at me, and I let go of the dagger as I staggered back. She stood up and put her hand on her forehead and hung it back. She sighed and growled. She looked down at me.
" For shame." she said. I blinked at her." Tch... if Percy was here right now, he would be soo disappointed."
We opened our mouths. She grabbed the dagger out of her shoulder, with an ugly sound and threw it down.
" Wait you know where Percy is?" said Poseidon.
Audrey moved her shoulder and got out a piece of cloth as she bandaged it.
" Ya duh. I've known where he was all the time." she said it plainly.
I stood up and grabbed her shoulders. She glared at me.
" Do you where Percy is?! Where is he!?" in a blink of an eye, I was kicked and landed where everyone else.
I coughed out blood. I gasped as Audrey pointed a gun toward me. I gulped. She looked at me, with angry eyes.
" Why does it matter to you..." I opened my mouth to speak.
" The girl who was he was his love of his life, and was about to propose to her with the hard-worked permission of her own mother..." I widened my eyes.
" but was making out with his own half-brother." I shut my mouth as I cried not to cry.
" The back-wretched, unloyal, horrible, dirty, girl that betrayed his own pure heart. After you hurt his heart, he was never talked to..."
Jason, and the others looked down. Audrey looked at him with softened eyes.
" Well not you guys. All of you guys were on duty, it couldn't be helped." she said.
She turned to me and shook the gun.
" Tch... I forgot you were immortal." she said.
I widened my eyes as I felt bullets in my body. I screamed. The gods tried to pull her back, but I felt myself burn. They stopped and my mother tried to help me. Audrey broke free and kicked my guts. I coughed, and cried.
" Percy!" I cried out.
" HE'S NOT GOING TO HELP YOU!" she yelled. I widened my eyes.
She stabbed me with my own dagger and impaled my leg into the floor. She began to walk away angrily. Poseidon and Apollo stopped her.
" You've gone to far!" yelled Poseidon.
" Says the father who forgot all about him, and never told him about his own sibling." he widned his eyes and stepped back. She spun to face everyone.
" besides... Percy told me to do it." everyone dropped their mouths.
" You're lying..." I said. She shook her head.
" Nope. You've seen how he deals with the people he hates..." I gasped as I remebered. I gagged. She turned around before leaving out the door. Apollo followed her before putting hand on her shoulder.
" Audrey..." she turned to look at him. " I forgive you... but why can't you tell where he is?" she grabbed his hand.
" He doesn't want to be found. He was sad, hurt, tired... he was about to kill himself... but he was saved... he doesn't want to face them again. Do you want to pull away from his happiness?" we all looked at her.
" If You Love Something Let It Go, If It Comes Back To You It's Your,If It Doesn't, It Was Never Was." quoted Audrey. She turned to us, her eyes brimming with tears.
" It's the same, you broke his heart, and he left. If he did come back, wouldn't he have done that years ago? but he didn't. Therefore it isn't yours to decide, it's him." tears began to fall down, and we were shocked. She got her sword and began to walk away... tears falling down our eyes.
" Go back with Drake, see if he and I care... " she said. Drake fell down and he went back to me, and I cried in his shoulders.
" He loved you. He truly did. Why didn't you hold onto it?"
