I present chapter 4...
(Percy POV)
The room shook as we traveled. The box made a loud noise, probably the one that Annabeth heard earlier. I put my hand by Annabeth's on the railing. She looked up and gave me a smile. After what seemed like hours, the room stopped shaking. The noise died down. The Doctor walked to the doors that we came in. He turned around and started leaning against the doors, threatening to fall out of the room.
"Are you ready to see Olympus?" the Doctor asked. The woman, Rose, smiled biting her bottom lip, nodding her head. Me and Annabeth also starting nodding our heads. Ever since the Titan War, Annabeth hasn't let see her plans for Olympus, and neither have I gone. I walked to the door eagerly waiting to see her designs.
The Doctor stepped back, opening the door, revealing the Empire State Building lobby. The man at the desk, whom had reappeared after the war, looked like he was going to have a heart attack. I think the box must have just appeared out of nowhere, and I don't know about you, but that would also give me a heart attack.
"Where's the Olympus?" Rose asked. Annabeth started chuckling at Rose.
"Olympus is on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. You can't get up there by teleporting. You need to go up the normal way." Annabeth explained.
"And what's that, then?"
"The elevator, of course."
"Right, of course the elevator. Because everyone knows that."
"She's right though. We just need a key from the front desk." The Doctor informed Rose. I started walking to the desk with my back turned to it.
"I got this, alright? You guys just stay there." I turned around to find myself at the desk.
"Hello. I was wondering if I could go to Olympus. So could I have the key please?" I asked the man. He seemed to be over fact that there a telephone-like booth in his lobby.
"No mortals allowed," he calmly stated and continued with his work. I turned around to tell the others bad news.
"Also, tell that man to move his box. It's taking up too much space in my lobby." The man at the desk said. I let out a loud sigh and continued to the other people. Annabeth was talking with the Doctor and Rose. When they saw me, I think they got the idea: we weren't going up to Olympus.
After a couple minutes of silence, Rose did the most surprising thing: she started bribing the man at the desk with money. I saw her slip him another bill as he shook his head. I had no idea what bills she was passing over to him, but I knew she wasn't going to get away with it. As I saw the man reach for a button, I presumed that called security, I saw the Doctor walk over and take out his I.D. I didn't know what good that would do, but Annabeth seemed to like the idea, so I went along. When the man saw the badge, he stood up, and bowed to the Doctor. I don't know what he saw on that badge, but scared the wits out of him. He shakily gave the Doctor the key, and went to the elevator, with the TARDIS still in the lobby.
Me, Annabeth, the Doctor, and Rose stepped into the elevator, and the Doctor put the key in the slot. As I saw the button 600 appear, I remembered the first the first time I was riding up the elevator. He pushed it, and we went up. After what seemed like hours, the elevator stopped and the lights in the elevator went off. By my understanding, for the first time ever, the elevators to Olympus stopped. We couldn't get up the elevator.
I hope you liked the chapter! Please review!
