Chapter 9:

Sorry for the late upload guys! I had many things this week. My tests for the end of the year. I'm finally over with it. The school year was fun. I enjoyed this year. Anyway. I'm just going to write, guys, we can do better, tell me what you think of this story, tell me what you think I should improve on, or add to the story. I am also starting a new story! I'm doing it after this one first though, don't want to add anymore pressure on myself. The story is still about Percy and Annabeth just different story format and stuff. I'm just writing it and then I'm just going to post them. It's smart for my opinion. I don't know .Anyway, CHAPTER 9

Frank's POV:

"Lads! Let me speak!" I yelled. I've been sitting there listening to them tell me that this plan I had was suppose to be a great one. It was, I hated the idea, but got any other better plan? I turned to them and they were waiting for me to explain. I sighed.

"Well?"

"Gods not even a second you can't shut up!" I chuckled. Jason closed his mouth.

"We should join Kronos..." I said softly that they couldn't hear me.

"Mate speak up I can't hear you, sounded like you said we should join Kronos" Luke chuckled along with Jason. I stayed silent. They are going to hate me for this. I can't tell them that if I join Kronos, then he'll let me go and I'll free them and we can make an escape plan. It's risky.

"Your're-! No, Frank. Did Andy get to you?! Gods, that's by far the most horrible idea I've heard" Jason yelled. I flinched. Luke nodded.

"No! I'm not going along with this, Luke?" So far so good. Just say no.

"I agree, I'm out of this. Wait, you want to join him? You're betraying our King" Luke said. I ignored his comment and tried to focus back on the real plan.

"Fine, don't join with me. I'll do it alone" I gritted through my teeth. We stayed silent for some time. I looked behind me and saw Jason and Luke whispering things to each other. I tried to eavesdrop into their conversation. They looked at me and laughed. I frowned.

"What are you guys talking about?" I finally asked. They turned to me and and smirked.

"Nothing you'd know of, Traitor" Jason gritted through his teeth. Luke sighed and faced the other way. I sighed and sat there. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Gods!

"Frank, what has gotten into you?" Luke whispered. I hate lying.

"I just think Kronos can lead us to the victory we want"

"WHY!? Kronos is the enemy here! You are making the biggest mistake ever" Jason said. I can do this, hold it in. Don't tell them.

"Gods, first Andy, and now, y-you" Luke stuttered. I shivered, I am nothing like Andy. He's the traitor here, I'm just trying to get us out. I slumped in my chair. You'll thank me later, just watch.


Andy came in with the same two guards. He grinned and walked towards us. He must have noticed the silence and chuckled.

"Well, you three are mighty quiet. Quiet as a mouse" He grinned. Luke and Jason smirked.

"What happened? Well, anyways I wanted to let you know, Kronos is going to be seeing you three soon. Make you work for him-"

"He doesn't need to see all of us, just two" Jason said glaring at me. Andy raised his eyebrow looking at me then at Jason.

"What are you guys talking about?"

"One of us decided it's best to go with Kronos on this one" Jason gritted through his teeth still glaring at me. Andy walked over to me. He went on one knee and met my face.

"Is that so?" He said grabbing my chin. I looked at him straight in the eye. I need to be believable.

"Yes, Sir Andy. I think Kronos is the one to lead us to victory. If these two idiots, don't think so. They are truly not worth your time" I gritted through my teeth facing Luke and Jason.

"Someone has gotten that through their heads" Andy said grinning as he got up and snapped his finger. The two guards came toward me and untied me. Once I was free I stepped towards Luke and Jason and gave them a glare. I'm so sorry, it's the only way though. I balled up my hand into a fist and punched Jason. To make it seem I wasn't joking. Luke tried to see if Jason was alright.

"I'll have you two know, I wasted my time and life following Fredrick, all this time Kronos was who I was meant to serve" I grinned. It doesn't feel like a win if I punched my best friend. I looked at Andy who clapped for me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and smiled at the sky as we stepped out. I looked down. He took a deep breathe. I heard the door close and being locked behind me.

"Frank, Welcome to Kronos. Your new Family" He said as we walked away from what I noticed was building filled with explosives.


Percy's POV:

I walked out of the castle and was about to go to the barn to take blackjack for a ride. Then Thalia called my name. I was halfway down the stairs of the castle, I fixed my suit as she caught up to me. I stopped and turned to her. She was wearing a black and white dress. Not a gown. Just a dress.

"Hey Thalia" I said buttoning my suit.

"Percy, I've been looking for you everywhere. Can we take a walk? I have something I need to ask you" She said.

"Actually-"

"Walk" She demanded.

"I have time" I quickly said and held out my arm and she looped one arm around mine. We walked down the steps listening to the sound of birds chirping and squirrels going up the trees. I chuckled. She looked at me her face confused.

"Is there a reason you're laughing?"

"I'm not laughing, I chuckled. I chuckled because of how the time is funny"

"How so?"

"There is many pain going on, deaths, lies, and the earth is just showing the sign of happiness, while there's a war going on"

"And?"

'How is the world fine, when everything around is not?"

"That's pretty deep thinking" She said and pursed her lips, "I guess, it's just us who make the time horrible, when it's not even suppose to"

"I guess" I Sighed. We stopped walking near the pond. We sat on a near by fountain next to the garden.

"So, what happens to be that you needed to talk to me about?"

"About You"

"Me?"

"Yes, I feel like you're not telling me everything..."

"About what?" I chuckled laying my hands on my knees.

"Why you were out in the middle of the nigh?t"

"Thalia, that's personal-"

"Don't give me that crap"

"I can't tell you everything-"

"Yes, you can. I trust you with the things I tell you-"

"What have you ever told me?" I said crossing my arms and raising my eyebrow, with a grin on my face.

"You know, the time when- or when I- when You-...Oh shut up!" I uncrossed my arms and chuckled.

"Fine, but promise not to tell Annabeth. She'll kill me"

"What did you do to her? Did you kiss another girl?" She glared at me, looking ready to kill me.

"No! I would never do something to her like that. Ever. It's something the king told me"

"Wait, The king?" She said sitting up, I nodded sadly. I sighed shaking me head, while looking down.

"It's the reason I'm doing this" I told her everything, letting all the stress from my mind go. I trusted her with the things I told her. I know that she won't tell anyone with I told her.

"You didn't tell her any of this"

"I did, it's just one detail I left out"

"What?" She said leaning in close. I looked at her straight in the eye.

"I'll be that town boy again, away from you, from the castle. Annabeth"

"You're doing this because he said that? Percy I'm sorry" She hugged me, I returned it. I'm glad she didn't slap me. I already got that earlier in the morning.

"You'll tell her soon, right?" She said. I shook my head.

"I can't, I don't want to lose her"

"Percy this is big, you'll lose her either way if you don't tell her. You may think your helping, think again. It's just hurting her by not telling her" She said breaking the hug looking at my eye.

"I know-"

"I can't stand to see you two apart. Tell her, or I will. You know I will" She got up and walked away leaving me there having something to think about. I looked at the sky, why me?


I walked back over to the castle with my hands behind my back, I went over to the king's room. I quietly made my way there, I saw a few guards taking their breaks, they were laughing and drinking wine. When they saw me, they gave me a death glare. Have they not gotten it through their thick heads, I don't work for Kronos. I ignored them and kept on walking. I though back to when I told Rachel to meet me at my room. When I had told her to meet me at her room, she panicked. I was confused by that, she could be hiding something. I mean sometimes my room is dirty, I don't panic when someone wants to come to my room, I just clean the place up. Some of the times... anyway, she is hiding something. When Annabeth told me to be careful, it set me off kind of. What could she be hiding. I won't get too much into it. I trust her, she isn't hiding anything.

I knocked on the king's door and it was slightly ajar. I knocked again, this time it opened fully. The king sat there with Annabeth sitting down beside him near the fireplace. A guard had let me through. I walked him, nervously. They turned to me, Annabeth gave me a small smile. The kind had his leg crossed over the other and his hand on him chin just staring into the fireplace. He snapped his fingers and the guard slid a chair next to me. The king looked at me his eyes sad.

"Your Majesty. Princess" I bowed at both of them. I really wanted to kiss Annabeth. I couldn't though. She just rolled her eyes at 'Princess'

"Hey Percy" She smiled at me and opened her arms. I went over and hugged her. I pulled away and looked at the king. I sat down and fixed my suit. They looked at me in an odd way. Something was wrong.

"Percy, the potion. Where is it?" The king asked me. My heart stopped.

"W-What? The Potion?"

"Yes, when we got your body they checked all over you to see if you had anything and they didn't find anything. Did you not get it?" He said putting his elbows on his knees. I shook my head.

"I don't know sir, I thought maybe you had it"

"I don't"

"Argh! I already set up a day with Rachel, what am I suppose to do now?" I said, I looked at Annabeth who was trying to follow me and him in the conversation.

"You need to cancel it. We can't risk it. Forget the information, we'll find another way" he said. He looked at Annabeth.

"Sweetie, get everyone into the big room. We need to figure out another plan" She nodded and got up. She looked at me and knelt beside me.

"Percy, it's okay" She whispered to me, "Maybe it wasn't going to work" I shook my head. I let them all down. I failed the king, Annabeth, my friends. She started to make her way to the door. Her dad followed behind her. I still sat there. I got up and turned to the king.

"No!" I yelled. They stopped and turned to me. Annabeth had a worried look on her face. The king walked to me.

"Percy, it's done. It's over. Forget it, okay this wasn't your fault. We'll find another way" He said his eyes filled with sadness.

"I can find the potion. I won't let you down"

"Percy that's enough!" Annabeth said raising her tone. I looked at her.

"Stay out of this" I said.

"No, Percy you need to stop, or I will-" I stopped the king. I looked at him straight in the eye.

"Or you'll what, make me a town boy again! You've threatened me with that one before, why don't you just make me that town boy again, huh?! You would be happier if I was. No longer in your presence" I yelled. Then I shut up. Annabeth turned to her father.

"What did I just hear? You're making Percy a town boy. Making him suffer like he did before" She said pointing to me. I stepped in.

"Annabeth, no you misheard-"

"Stop! You've hurt me enough with these lies you're telling me..." She looked at me, then back at her father.

"You always told me to tell the truth, always! But not once do you do that yourself!"

"I'm sorry Annabeth"

"No, I've had enough. Dad, enough of this. Percy could get hurt with these things you're telling him to do, worse he could die. You want to save your kingdom, I get it. Just think of the person you're putting in danger" She said and walked out. I looked at the King. He looked at me. I stood there in silence afraid to be the first one to speak.

"Percy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it when I said any of that. I could never betray your father like that. I told him I'll take care of you for the time that he's away and I will" he said. I looked down and nodded.

"You may go" He said. I looked up and walked out. There was nothing to say. I had to talk to Annabeth. She was right. I have been lying to her. Of course I had to go and mess things up. She probably doesn't want to be with me anymore for all that pain I had caused her. I guess, she was right if she broke it off, I had been the one who ruined it all. I guess that was how it ends for me and her. I didn't want it to end. If she wanted to, then I understood.

Leo's POV:

I approached the entrance to the village and saw that the sun was beginning to go down. I made it. Just a couple more walking and I'm there. I just wish I had Frank's bag. Then I would have evidence. Gods! I hate myself. I walked into the village and saw people making their last spend and walking on home. I just wish I had a home. I never really had anyone. Never. I always took care of myself. Until Chiron took me in and helped me to becoming a Knight. I was good. Just always clumsy. Like right now. I bumped into a girl and she fell down dropping her things. I looked at her.

"I'm so sorry" I said helping her up. She wiped the dirty things on her dress and started to pick up her stuff. I helped her putting them back in her bag. I looked up at her. She was beautiful. Her hair was an amazing hair color. Caramel.

"Hey, I'm Leo" I said holding out my hand. She smacked it away.

"Next time look where you're going?" she said and walked away. Someone called her from a small house.

"Calypso, come on hurry up!" They said waving her over. Calypso started to run in that direction. Calypso.


I run across the bridge leading to the entrance of the castle. Under the bridge was water leading out into the ocean. I need to find someone. The only person I know is Percy. Wait, what if he's still unconscious . No, that was two weeks ago. He could be awake. I spot the doors being guarded by two men. They spot me and their eyes widened. They set down their spears and run over to me, I tripped on the torn piece of my pants and stumbled to the hard stone floor. They catch me and try to help me up.

"Sir Leo. You're back. How?" One of them asked picking me up and getting me on my feet. I gulped and croaked, "Sir Percy, where is he? I need to speak to him...Now" They looked each other then back at me and nodded. One of the guards asked the other to call Percy over to the big room. They lead me to the big room, which was a room for important meetings with the royals. I sat down in a chair and fixed my clothes, I don't know why. One of the servants brought in a glass of water and placed it in front of me. I grabbed it quickly and drank it. I gulped it for a long time. I heard a smirk and I placed the glass down. Percy stood In the doorway arms crossed. He grinned. I got up from the chair and ran to him and hugged him. He patted my back and laughed.

"Leo? How are you here?" He smiled. I didn't smile back. He dropped the smile and told me to sit down. I sat beside him my hands laced together.

"We were tricked" I said.

"What? What do you mean by tricked?"

"You know how there's a spy. Well that guy Andy told us there were two. One for information. The other to kill you or harm you"

"Kill me?" He whispered and looked at me again. I nodded sadly.

"Andy was the spy..."

"Hold on! Andy!" He jumped up and ran his hands through his hair.

"Percy, let me explain everything that happened" I told him about Frank's plan and what we found out. I couldn't tell him every detail. I couldn't remember it all. I told him about our meet up and how there was a prophecy. I told him how me, Luke, Jason, and Frank found out about Andy. How I lost the bag and how they were all still back there. Percy stopped when I said Luke. I thought he was going to kill me for not being able to save him. He just stayed quiet.

"How are we going to get back there and save them?" he asked, I blinked. I thought quickly.

"I was able to escape from the back of our tent, took 2 days to get here. So I came from south. The easy way to get there is going south. There's a weaponry two tents away. Should be able to get there quickly and easy" I said. He nodded and came over to me.

"We're going to get ready. We need to save them"

"Think Percy. Their army is strong. I know they made us fight against them. It's no Joke mate"

"Okay, we'll tell the king all of this tomorrow. We meet back here and talk about a plan to get them back and beat Kronos once and for all"

"Percy. I'm going to be honest. I don't think this is a good idea. Just walking up there and fighting..."

"We'll train" He said. I shook my head.

"That's not what I meant. I mean it's Kronos territory... We could easily get beaten" I said.

"Fine. We'll fight near the ocean, first to retreat loses and never comes back. Our weaponry is behind us, we could equip easily" He snapped his fingers. I nodded my head at the idea.

"Yeah that could work. Just go back there and get equipped. We know that, but they don't" I grinned. He grinned and patted my back.

"Get some rest mate, tomorrow is a big day. I'm so glad you're back"

"Good to be back. That place was pure torture"

"I bet" He chuckled.

"I think they knew we we're planning all of this when we came, because of Andy"

"It's the past mate. Now we need to focus on finding out that Prophecy and who the other spy is in this building" Percy said, "You need rest. you know where your room is right?" I nodded and he let me go. I walked up stairs and the first thing I'm doing is taking a warm hot shower and eating and going to bed.
