Percy
I walked to the beach right after the meeting and saw Poseidon sitting down. "Hello, Lord Poseidon."
He turned his head to me and looked at me with no emotion. "May I join you?" He quietly nodded as I walked down and sat next to him.
Silence. "The tides are picking the pace." He looked at me. "It...it does that when I get tense." I raised an eyebrow. "Why is that? Why are you tense, I mean?"
He sighed and stared at the waves. "I had a son. His name was Percy Jackson. He-" I cut him off. "Died during the end of the Second Giant War. I was there."
He looked at me, shocked. Then rage. "Were you the one that..." I shook my head. "No. I didn't." He turned calm.
"What doesn't feel right is that..." I looked at him weirdly. "Hades said he never felt his soul enter The Underworld."
I nodded. "I know where he is." Poseidon abruptly stood up and shook my shoulders. The tides grew fiercer. "Tell me!" I shook my head.
"He doesn't want me to tell." He looked angry, then glum. "Alright..." He muttered then had a determined look on his face. "I'm gonna get the information out of you, though." He said while walking towards the sea. I laughed. "Good luck!"
I walked back towards the camp when a blonde girl punched me in the face. "Ow! What the?" She had an utter look of rage. "Tell me where he is, now!" I looked at her dumbly. "How do you know that?"
"Poseidon sent an message to me. NOW, TELL ME!" She tackled me and started punching my face until Luke interupted. "Woah, what's going on here?"
She looked at him, clearly annoyed. "He knows where Percy is! And he won't tell me!" Luke chuckled. "Haha! And why do you ask him where he is and not me?"
She stood up. "You know where he is?" He shrugged. "Sort of." She grabbed at his collar. "Luke Castellan, you will tell me where he is now." She said grimly. Luke chuckled and faded into darkness. "If you can catch me!"
Annabeth started sprinting around, trying to catch Luke. I chuckled, until a voice penetrated my mind. Back, now are you, Percy Jackson? I recognized the voice. Kronos. The voice chuckled. Yes. It is me, Jackson. I stumbled around. You won't have any time to prepare, hero, so listen up. An army of monsters is coming your way. All of you will die. If I could see that dude, he'd probably be sneering.
The voice left my mind. I ran toward The Big House and towards Chiron. "An attack is about to happen. It's been planned by Kronos." As if on cue, a voice shouted, "Attack!" I whirled around to see a horde of varying monsters.
"How the fuck did they get through the fucking barrier?!" I heard a voice from my left. It was a Jack from the Ares cabin. He was constantly slashing through them.
I cursed. "Shit. They managed to get through the Labyrinth again, didn't they?" Chiron looked shocked. "How did you know that?" I ignored him and joined the fray.
Annabeth
How dare he!? I couldn't believe that Luke had known where Percy was and hadn't told me! He made faces at me as if this was some game.
"Why do you want to know where he is, hmmmm?" I cursed. "He'll help us in the war. And partly because I love him." I whispered the second sentence. He heard me and said, "Oh, what was that?" I sighed. "Partly because I love him. Okay, happy?" I said angrily. He looked at me expectantly. "Ok, fine. Mostly." He still had that expectant look. I scowled. "Fine, fully! Now tell me where he is!" He laughed and ran off again.
We were running around a tree when a scream came from my left. When I looked, an Aphrodite girl was about to be killed by a hellhound.
I knew that even if I ran at my top speed (which wasn't even a lot, judging by our perspiration) that we wouldn't be able to save her.
Suddenly, an arrow sprouted from the monster's head. It fell to the ground, dead and laid there for a couple of seconds before it disintegrated.
I turned around to see Luke with a crossbow. He scowled. "Not even here for a day and Kronos's forces are already here. Nay, not even an hour." He muttered.
We ran down to the girl who was still on the ground. She was wide-eyed and I couldn't blame her. She pointed behind me and when I looked my eyes nearly bugged out.
A horde of monsters came spilling out of the old Labyrinth entrance. The Assassins were already up and fighting, including Luke. A flurry of demigods and monster mixed. An assorted number of various ranged weapons sailed over my head.
Reluctantly, I unsheathed my knife and joined the fight.
Percy
I hacked and slashed, slaying at least one monster with a quick movement of my sword. I threw throwing knives, impaling some dracanae onto trees.
I sighed and willed water to go out of my body. There was a tug in my gut as I froze a couple of monsters. I heard a gasp behind me. I turned around to see the pale son of Hades. He looked at me, shocked. I mouthed, Later. He nodded and started fighting again.
I looked at the army and sighed when I saw a figure walk slowly out of the entrance. Hyperion.
He walked out, a look of pride in his eyes. "Haha! All of you are within our grasp. Do you surrender?" You could hear a pin drop over the silence.
Then I walked forward. His eyes narrowed at me. "I don't think you'd want me to send you back to Tartarus, do you Hyperion?" His eyes widened and he snarled.
"I got stronger. This is payback for what you did to me!" He barreled towards me, sword in hand. I smirked and leapt over him, twirling in mid-air.
When I landed, he had stopped and turned around. He ran to me and tried to hit my side. I parried and sliced him on the chest.
He stumbled back and held his chest. Ichor was pouring out of it as if it was a waterfall. He growled at me. He let go of his wound and summoned a harsh ball of light on his free hand.
He waited for a while and threw the ball at me. My smirk grew as I simply caught it and threw it aside, killing a bunch of monsters.
He was wide-eyed. "Impossible!" While he was gaping, I took the chance and threw knives at his stomach. He clutched it in pain. "This is not over. I will strike you down."
I stuck my tongue out at him and quickly drew a knife and threw it. It hit directly on his face. The crunch echoed throughout the battlefield as everybody, monsters and demigods alike, looked at him. He stretched out his hand before he crumbled into dust. All the monsters suddenly started retreating.
We healed the wounded demigods. No one died. At least, not yet. I got strange looks by demigods, some of fear and some of admiration.
I sat down at the beach, where I had met Poseidon this morning. "Beautiful, isn't it?" I heard a voice from behind me. I hadn't even looked back and I knew it was Annabeth.
I sighed. "Yeah. Poseidon's keeping it special for something." She regarded me coolly. "I-I'm sorry about earlier. It's just that-" I cut her off.
"He got slain by Omega but his soul never entered the Underworld." She nodded. "How do you know about him?" I sighed again. "He...he was one of the best of our soldiers." It wasn't a lie anyway. Just not the complete truth.
"Is...is he okay?" I looked at her. She had blond ringlets of her hair dropping down onto her face. Her grey eyes showed sadness. "He's on a mission. He says he misses you."
She had tears going down her cheeks. She smiled faintly. "Tell him...tell him I love him." I nodded and walked away, trying not to distrub her.
As I walked away from the beach, Luke appeared from the trees. "She's heartbroken." I nodded. "I know. I told her he was on a mission." He nodded.
We heard the conch shell, signifying dinner. I grinned at Luke, my stomach rumbling. I ran to the dining pavilion and saw all the campers staring at me. Zoe, Silena, Beckendorf, Alpha and Omega joined us.
Omega sat beside me. "The second battalion is arriving in approximately 10 minutes. Make it quick." I nodded as the Olympians appeared.
I quietly walked in front while everyone stared at me. "I would like to make an announcement. We aren't the only Assassins to come here. There is a second battalion coming in." Everyone gasped.
Cue mist from forest. There were about 40 people walking out of the woods. I pointed to them because nobody had noticed. "And there they are." Bianca grinned at me and rolled her eyes from underneath the hood.
I beckoned the casualties of the 2nd Titan War in the front. "I would like to reintroduce you to these people. Of course, some of you know Bianca di Angelo." A few gasps including Hades, Artemis and Nico. Nico was crying while looked at her.
She smiled sadly at him. "Michael Yew, Castor Gemini, Ethan Nakamura." I continued on until there was none left. There was no more space on our table so I snapped my fingers and another one appeared.
After dinner, Zeus made an announcement. "Attention, I was told recently by Poseidon that the Assassins of Chaos know the whereabouts of Percy Jackson. More specifically, Theodore." Everybody looked at me. Nico looked at me more expectantly than the everyone else.
Luke chuckled and said aloud, "Oh we know, alright. We know." Poseidon's eyes grew stormy. I shrugged. "I know of him." His expression grew. "Tell me. Now." He demanded.
I shook my head. "He does not want to be revealed and I will respect his wishes." Luke looked at me weirdly. "You sure about that?" I nodded.
Cue a lot of people raging at me.
A/N: I'm super duper sorry for submitting this late. Writer's block bit me in the ass and my exams are coming up. I will probably have less time to update. Anyway, bye.
