i do not own class of the titans
please review :)
At the moment I was sitting next to Jay on the bed, with the gang situated around us. Currently I was telling them that I did not believe it was Odie, but some of them disagreed.
"Who else could it have been Theresa?" Archie asked.
My head fell forward as I contemplated the decisions, I looked at Archie sighing "To be honest I don't know, but it can't be Odie-"
"Why not" Archie quickly asked.
"Because-because Cronus told me."
"What do you mean?" Herry asked.
"He contacted me in a vision. He told me about there being a traitor among us, but when he talked about the person it wasn't somebody he knew...He know's Odie?"
"So you think it's someone we've never met before?" Atlanta asked.
"Not necessarily. It could be someone we know, but Cronus doesn't..."
"Where's Odie then?" Archie asked.
"I don't know, but we can't say he's the one to blame until we find him?"
"Who could it be then?" Atlanta asked.
"It's someone we have to know really well? Someone we'd allow into the brownstone?" I looked around the room, there was Archie, Atlanta, Herry, Neil, then Jay beside me. I looked at Jay, then back at the missing space between Jay and Neil; wasn't Phil here a few minutes ago? "where's Ph-"
Suddenly I was standing in a dark room, a purple fog looming over me. I was in a vision. Phil stood in front of me, crouching down beside a curled up Odie on the cement floor. "The brownstone is gone." Phil told him, smirking as he said it. Odie struggled to talk against the piece of tape against his mouth. Phil stepped In front of him ripping it off "How do you feel, smart boy?"
"What did you do!" He exclaimed.
"I didn't do anything! You did..."
"I was under your control! You were hypnotizing me."
"All the same." He smirked "Did you hear about poor dear Theresa?" He asked, mockingly pouting.
Odie's eyes grew wide "What did you do to her?" He asked.
"I might have given her some poison..."
Odie was shocked, and couldn't make a word. Phil laughed "Don't worry, she'll live...if it weren't for that damn Chiron."
"What do you want with us?" He asked.
"I want revenge!"
"On who!?"
"The gods!"
Odie gulped "Why?" He asked.
"He left my mother and me...My father." He paused "He left us stranded on a street, do you know why?" He asked "Because that damned Zeus created a law preventing gods from seeing their children." He stopped, leaning against the cement wall "My father was ripped from us just like that, and we had to struggle on our own. We only had eachtother." He began pacing the room again "So while Zeus and the gods rejoiced, we had to suffer."
"But what do you want with us?"
"I see how much the gods love you people, your like their children. You got all their love while the rest of us half bloods were left to suffer."
"You mean there's more?" Odie asked.
Phil nodded "So I planned on killing what was precious to them, their dear titans" Phil spat "Knowing how close Theresa was with Posiden she became my first target. Watching your dear leader fall apart was an added bonus."
"What about the prophecy?" Odie asked "The Oracle said you were apart of it? You were supposed to help us defeat Cronus."
Phil laughed "I hypnotized him just like I did you."
"But how? Isn't the Oracle immune to hypnotism?" Odie asked.
"I have my ways." Phil sneered "Now. It's time for you to shut up, and go back to sleep."
Before I knew what was happening I was pulled back to reality, watching as Phil's figure became farther and farther away. I gasped, looking around the room I heavily breathed in and out.
"What happened? Did you just have a vision?" Jay asked, holding onto me.
I nodded against his chest "Phil." Was the only thing I could say.
Jay took the hint "he's the one behind this." He stated.
I nodded once again "He's got Odie."
"How?" Herry interrupted.
"Odie was hypnotized."
"Why is he doing this?" Atlanta asked.
"He want's revenge," Phil's words triggered my senses and suddenly I was standing, walking towards Hera's office. I slammed her office door open, glaring as I did so "Where's Poseidon?" I asked.
Hera was surprised, but soon regained her composure. She was currently sitting at her desk talking to Zeus "Theresa!" Zeus said, turning towards me "It's good to see your okay."
"Where's Posiden?" I asked once more, now glaring at both Hera and Zeus.
Hera cleared her throat, walking towards me she said "Now Theresa, what is all of this about?" she asked.
I kept my glare as I turned towards Zeus "How could you do it?" I asked him.
"Do what?" he asked confused.
"You know what I mean."
"I do not" he stated.
"You ordered a law that required all gods to stay away from their children and wives."
Zeus looked shocked "Now Theresa-"
"How could you?" I asked, this time more as a demand.
"We couldn't risk it."
"Risk what?" I asked.
"People knowing about us."
"So you created a law saving your ass, but didn't ever care to think about Phil or other half bloods?"
He nodded, bowing his head in shame "Your selfish." I spat.
"Theresa..." Jay warned from behind me, I turned to him "What? They are, and they deserve to hear it, now please tell me where Poseidon is."
Hera sighed "He's in his kingdom."
I quickly turned around, walking passed Jay and the others I didn't say anything; not stopping as I walked towards the portal that would take me to Poseidon.
I didn't wait for anyone to follow me as I opened the portal. Stepping through it, I instantly knew where I was. I was in the room I found Zeus playing cards with Poseidon in a few months ago. Posiden was laying against the pools edge, his back facing away from me.
"Poseidon," I said, catching his attention "I need to talk to you."
Poseidon smiled "Nice to see you again Theresa, is everything okay?" he asked.
"Your son." Was all I said.
His eyes widened as we swam towards me "Is he okay?"
"Hera hasn't told you?" I asked him.
"Of course not, we were banned from seeing them."
I sighed, while walking towards the pools edge sitting in front of Poseidon "He's been with us for about a month." I told him.
He looked at me confused "Why?" he asked.
"A prophecy was made by the Oracle. Phil was supposed to help us defeat Cronus.
Poseidon smiled "I knew he was meant for great things."
I sighed once again "He's turned evil Poseidon. He wants revenge on the gods for taking you away from him."
"What?" he asked, surprised.
"He hypnotized the Oracle into making the prophecy. He was trying to get closer to us I guess, and he did. He burned down the brownstone, kidnapped Odie, and almost killed me."
"That's doesn't sound at all like Phil." Poseidon told me.
"He's angry Poseidon, anger can make the nicest person evil."
He was quiet for a few minutes, contemplating everything I had just told him. He looked at me with dread in his eyes "I did this to him." he said.
"No Poseidon." I was quick to respond "Zeus did this, you had no choice."
He nodded "I could have set them up with a better life. You know I left them on the streets, stranded right?" he asked, his big blue eyes boring into mine.
I nodded "I know that," I told him "and you would have, if you had more time with him."
"I had time." he said.
I didn't say anything, because I had nothing to say to that. We sat in silence until he began to talk "You know," he said "If I was given a second chance, I would have changed everything." he paused, trying to come up with what he was going to say next "I would have stayed, even if I had to face the consequences. I loved him so much...its the worst decision I have ever made."
"Why don't you tell him this?" I asked.
"He would never believe me-"
"Your right about that father."
Quickly I got into a fighting stance, standing in front of Phil "How did you get in here?" I asked.
He smirked "Nice to see you well again Theresa; spunky, and as tough as ever."
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I've come to get something..."
"Why are you doing this son?" Poseidon asked from behind me.
Phil's smirk turned into a sneer "I'm doing this for revenge." he said walking passed me, now standing in front of Poseidon.
"Why son?"
"I'm not your son anymore! You decided that after you left me"
"I had too-"
"You didn't have too, you could have stayed!"
"There were consequences..." Poseidon told him.
"If you loved us that much, you would have stayed and taken the consequences."
"Phil-"
Poseidon was cut off when Phil held out his hand, silencing him "I'm done talking to you," he said "Now I want what I came for." Phil turned towards me "I want you Princess."
I growled "You'll have to kill me first."
He laughed "hm, that's very tempting" he said.
"I would never willingly go any where with you. You tried to kill me."
He lifted one eyebrow "It's true, but I wasn't really asking." Before I knew what was happening Phill had grabbed my jaw, pushing me against the wall. Poseidon tried to attack him, but was stopped by a wave Phil had summoned; which threw him against the wall, making him unconscious. Phil turned towards me "Look into my eyes." he said.
"No..." I whispered, trying to pull my head out of his grasp. I turned away avoiding his eyes, but he was too strong. My eyes connected with his, he smirked "Say that you love me." He said.
As much as I tried, my eyes wouldn't turn away. I was under his trance "I love you." the words were out of my mouth before I could even register what was happening. It was like he had taken over my body, and all I had control over were my thoughts.
He laughed "That's a good little princess...now say that you need me"
My mind was reeling, and all I could think of was stop, don't do this, just pull away.
"I need y-"
"Get away from her!" was all I heard before Phil's hand had disappeared, and he was being thrown over Jay's shoulder. I fell against the wall, regaining my body back; I looked around the room. Poseidon was laying unconscious against the wall, and Jay was currently beating the living day lights out of Phil.
"Jay!" I screamed "Stop, you'll kill him"
Jay stopped, turning towards me as he glared. If looks could kill, this would be one of the times. He was angry, and I knew I would be getting hell when we got back.
"Your not a killer" I whispered.
Taking my distraction as time to get away, Phil pushed Jay off of his body. Getting up, he walked as if he were about to fall backwards. He pointed at Jay "This isn't the end," he said "I'll be back, and next time she'll be coming with me."
Jay growled "Over my dead body."
Phil smirked, and in a second was gone. I ran towards Jay, grabbing at his shoulders I looked at him "Are you okay?" I asked.
He nodded, looking at me "Are you?" he asked starring me up and down. His eyes were still glaring which meant he was still very angry. I consciously sighed, tonight will be a long night. He got up, grabbing my hand he started dragging me towards the portal he had come through "Where are we going?" I asked.
"Were leaving" he said sternly.
"What about Poseidon?" I asked.
"We're leaving." he said once more, this time as a demand.
I decided not to say anything. I didn't want to piss him off more than he already was.
