REVIEW AND ALERT IT! THANKS TO ALL MY NEW FOLLOWERS!
people who review will be mentioned :)
I hopped into the cab and sat between Percy and Annabeth. Grover had shotgun. We were all panting and sweating. I wiped my sweat off with a bandana I packed.
When we all settled down, we arrived at a diner and we went in. We all looked at a map of Washington D.C.
"Alright, the Smithsonian is...here..and we're..here! Not that far." Annabeth smiled. We all nodded.
"Alright, so, we staying at a motel for the night?" Percy asked. We all looked at each other, shrugged then nodded.
We were talking to each other when the news came on,
"There's been said to be some sort of massacre at the Smithsonian Museum. 5 security guards who were guarding the basement were found dead. Police officers don't know how but are still investigating the matter."
We all gasped at the news,"Man, Hecate's there alright." Grover whispered, eating a napkin.
I ordered us milkshakes and we all sipped them quietly. I looked at the clock, it was 3:00. We all got out and went to the Smithsonian to investigate. There was caution tape everywhere and nobody was allowed inside. We all stopped and looked at each other, deciding how to get in.
We went around to the back, police officers, but they were too busy talking to each other or to reporters. We climbed and broke a window, jumping in.
WHen we got inside we began running around, trying to find the basement. We rounded a corner, then saw 1 police officer and I stopped, too late, the officer saw us. Annabeth and Grover split up from us and hid in another room. Percy and I panicked and went inside some random room.
Man, it was a fricking closet, a small one at that. I ran in and he ran in and shut the door. When he turned around we were so close our chests were touching. We both looked at each other for a second then blushed and looked away.
I giggled,"Why is this closet so small?" He looked around for an answer and smiled, he grabbed something off the shelf and it was a duster,"It's for cleaning supplies." I sighed, we were too close to sit down so I was pushed up against the wall, and Percy was pushed up against me.
We heard the police officer and froze. We held our breaths when he walked by. We let our breaths out, I tried not to breathe to much because of the awkward position we were in.
The door flew open and we both stared wide-eyed. We were relieved when it was Annabeth and Grover. "You two! No time for 7 minutes in heaven, we got a dagger to find!" She pulled us out as we were blushing 10 shades of red,
"We were hiding!" I whispered defensively and she put her hand up, "Enough with the excuses, let's go! The officer ran that way, now's our chance!"
We ran to the basement door. I stopped everyone and they ran into me, I pointed to the card slot, one that only employees had.
We sighed and I thought, "Let me try something."
I put my finger on the slot and concentrated, Percy messed me up by putting his hand on my shoulder,"What are you doing?" I put my hand up, signaling him to back up and wait.
I concentrated again and I shocked the card slot, the light went from red to green and I opened the door with a smirk on my face. "Us, 1, Officers, 0."
Annabeth high-fived me and we ran in.
Annabeth then gasped and stopped us, "Cameras! Severa, come here." We all backed up against the wall the camera was on.
Annabeth pulled me over and put my finger on a blue wire, she nodded and I shocked it. The camera turned off and we all exhaled,"Phew." Grover breathed.
We continued walking and Percy sighed, frustrated. There was a gate with a camera, no card slots, camera.
"It's a camera, employees put up their cards and the person in the office will let them in." Annabeth explained
.
I crossed my arms, great, now what? "How do you think Hecate got in?" I asked, Annabeth crossed her arms and scrunched up her face, frustrated,"Magic." I nodded and took a deep breath, damn it.
We heard footsteps and panicked. Percy got out his sword and I had an idea...I thought about what Lucy told me about my eyes,"Wait, guys, go hide, let me handle this." They all looked at me like I was crazy but hid anyways.
I waited and, like I expected, the police officer came down. I smirked. I walked calmly up to him and he pointed his gun at me, "Stay where you are, miss." I smirked and stopped, I stood there and he came up to me.
Okay, Severa, show time.
I closed my eyes and opened them, putting power into my stare, I saw how bright my eyes shined on his face as my eyes glowed a piercing blue.
I smiled, it was working.
*Annabeth's POV*
What was she doing? I saw her eyes begin to glow a piercing bright blue and gasped. Sh-she was hypnotizing him! But how?
She smirked and I watched closely. She walked up to him and whispered something, but it didn't sound like her-well, it did, but it sounded like 5 Severa's were talking at once, he gave her something and she told him something else.
The officer nodded and he went upstairs robotically.
*Percy's POV*
Oh my gods! I've never seen her look so...powerful...it was actually really hot.
Her eyes were still glowing as he went upstairs. I felt myself being pulled into her gaze, not like how I usually do when she looks at me, but as in she was controlling me kind of way. I looked away before I got too far.
She ran to me, her eyes back to normal, "Sorry, Percy! Can you hear me?"
She looked at me with her big, beautiful blue and gold eyes and I was pulled into her gaze again, but this time, in a different way. I snapped out of it and nodded,"Yeah, you almost hynotized me there!" Not that you don't already hypnotize me, but nevermind that.
She nodded and hugged me, then she helped me up. Annabeth ran to her, "How'd you do that?!"
Severa laughed, "It's a nereid thing."She winked and we all smiled and then our smiles faded when we saw the gate.
Severa put a finger up and went up to the camera. She waved me over and whispered in my ear, making me shiver a bit, "Answer his questions in a deep voice." I nodded and she pulled back and put the card to the camera.
"Hello officer, here to do some investigating?" The intercom said, Severa nodded at me and I cleared my throat, making it deeper,"Yes sir." There was a buzz and we opened the gate. Everyone went in and ran from the gate.
Severa put the card in her pocket and we began looking around for anything that'd lead us to Hecate and her little group of god hating bitches.
*Severa's POV*
We were walking when we heard whispering. We hid behind a crate and peeked over. I saw a woman with pure, jet black hair. She was in a white dress with a belt with 2 daggers and 1 sword on it.
"I don't care who you kill, just do the job and get the dagger! I need it before her birthday on June 13th! If I don't get it by then, then her blood's process will already be complete, and she will no longer be the key to Tartarus."
Hecate was talking to 5 men, I'm guessing assassins. They looked pissed at her but they couldn't do anything about it. "Yes, Lady Hecate." The one on the right said. She left with a satisfied nod and then she disappeared into dust.
One guy groaned,"I hate working for this lady, she's always pissed." Another guy nodded in agreement, "Yeah, and I feel bad for that Severa girl who's getting sacrificed."
My eyes popped out of my head. Did I hear them right? IT WAS ME IN THE PROPHECIES? And what would happen on my birthday? WHAT BLOOD PROCESS?
Percy rubbed my back as he saw my pissed off looking face. I couldn't stand it anymore, lightning struck out of nowhere, exploding the crate that was hiding us. The men looked in my direction and their eyes widened.
"I have questions and I expect answers." I growled.
I didn't realize it, but my eyes were glowing, not a bright blue like they did when I was hypnotizing someone, but a dark blue, like I was pissed off.
The men backed up, scared shitless I'm guessing. I walked towards one in the middle and put my sword to his neck,"What blood process?" He shook his head,"I'm not saying anything."
I pressed the sword to his neck and saw blood trickle out, "I said..what blood process?" I put venom into every word and he actually looked scared. Another man put a gun to my head, "I suggest you back off princess."
"Severa, back off, don't do anything stupid!" Percy yelled.
The men looked at where my friends were hiding and pulled out their guns.
Okay, I was tired of this shit. I surrounded myself in lightning and then pushed it out, making everything around me explode and fly back.
The men flew back about 100 feet and landed with agonized sounds.
*Percy's POV*
I closed my eyes and concentrated, I sensed water pretty close to the museum. I couldn't see it, but I could smell and feel the water. I felt a tug at my stomach as I made it come to me.
Soon enough, water busted through the doors, wiping out all the men.
When I stopped, all the men were knocked out cold, Severa was wet, but she was already drying. Annabeth and Grover were soaked though.
Annabeth was ringing out her hair and Grover shook the water off like a dog.
*Severa's POV*
I was dry by the time I reached one of the men who was coughing. I put a sword to his neck and leant next to his side and whispered,"Tell me what happens on my birthday."
He coughed up blood,"Blood...becomes...pure." That was his last word, then his eyes rolled up in his head and his body went limp. I got up and stomped back to my friends, cursing under my breath.
"What just happened?!" Grover yelled.
I turned towards him,"I intend to find out."
