Your getting closer and closer! Keep guessing, you can have more than one guess in a review, just not all the gods, you can guess two or three but no more, or you can do more in separate reviews! Keep guessing, this might be your last chance after this chapter!
To Echo xoxo:
Glad you like it keep reviewing, and maybe try a guess! But no cheating!
Oh come on guys! No one wants to guess!
This is your last chance, in the next one it will most likely tell you! Keep guessing, and maybe try Jinx as well!
If you can guess either Jinx or Lucillia's Parentage you get your own scene or question answered!
Okay here it is!
Chapter 10
Frank's POV
When I didn't answer she laughed. Hard. Before it made me angry, but now the anger wasn't coming, and I was relived. When I looked up at Jinx she had a sympathetic look and walked over to me. She put her hand on my shoulder and the anger drained away completely, there was still jealousy, but it's from sadness now. Jinx smiled,
"Better?" she asked,
I nodded,
She smiled again the faces Ares, "It's not nice to toy with your children's emotions"
I looked at Ares, my Greek aspect of my father, and scowled,
"I told you it would be fun" Aphrodite squealed, "just watching the triangle was fun enough, but the jealousy was a fabulous idea!" she said to Ares,
Everyone groaned, but I saw Hazel actually let out a sigh of relief,
"I thought you were changing then, Frank"
I smiled,
"Sorry I had to do it that way, Buddy, but you have to let all the emotions out to get the manipulation off" Jinx apologised,
"It's okay" I said,
She smiled, "now, hopefully you all know who I am" she said,
We all shook our heads,
"We thought that obvious, when Zeus kept asking" Percy said sarcastically
"Oh...I thought he was joking with how all the demi-gods here act... oh that is so annoying" she groaned, "the fates are so slow!" we expected a crash, earthquake or something, but there was nothing, "anyway" there was a bronze flash around Jinx and when she stepped out her hair was longer – just above her waist – and was now a beautiful bronze, she wore the same sheaf of armour as Sophia, but bronze, and a bronze staff twisted like a branch around a grapefruit sized violet orb at the top of it. "I am Jinx, Lucillia's Lieutenant of the Army" our mouths dropped, we had been talking – and criticizing – Lucillia's Lieutenant. "Now!" she stomped her staff on the ground, it echoed through the room "please tell me who you have seen Lucillia save"
"Leo, Hazel and Jason" Athena answered,
"Wow, they really are slow" she waved her staff and a similar screen to an IM appeared; only it was tinted bronze at the edges.
Lucillia was in the forest with Sophia. They were in a clearing wearing the same armour, Lucillia's was gold.
"You know the plan, Sophia?"
"Charm. Collect. Charm. Get out."
"Correct"
"Where are they?" Sophia asked agitated
Lucillia shook her head in amusement "and you wonder how why everyone knows you're a daughter of Athena?" Lucillia laughed
"Are you sure about this?"
"You're not getting out that easy" Lucillia laughed,
"Why can't you do it?"
"What are they talking about?" Percy asked Jinx, but she just smiled.
"You're not a virgin, Sophia" Lucillia laughed again.
I saw Annabeth and Athena's eyes go wide as saucers and Percy trying to hold in his laughter, but I think so was everyone else.
"Yes, but I have a boyfriend!"
"As do I" Lucillia retorted,
"But-oh I give up!" Sophia yelled
"A daughter of Athena giving up?" Percy mocked.
Lucillia laughed "Ha!" she yelled,
Sophia scowled "Where are they?"
Jinx smiled as if she knew a secret.
Out of nowhere a guy with crown curly hair and blood-red highlights – but also had flecks of black when you looked – and warm brown eyes jumped down. Then beside him jumped Jinx, in the same outfit as she had on now.
"About time!"
"Once a daughter of Athena, always a daughter of Athena" Jinx joked to the guy,
"Ha. Ha" Sophia mocked "Where's-"
At that point a guy with black hair and eyes jumped down from the trees, he looked a lot like Nico only he was taller, by looks of it older and his muscles were more defined and bigger.
I heard Hazel take a sharp breath at the sight of him.
"Never mind" Sophia said
"Am I last?" he asked
Sophia was about to answer when a figure swooped past her and Lucillia, causing them to shriek. When the figure turned.
I think all of us were a little scared when we saw the figure.
He looked exactly like Percy only he didn't have the grey streak, but had blue highlights in his hair,
"Destan Calder! If you ever do that again I swear to the gods I will kill you!" Lucillia shouted,
Destan smirked, "it's too tempting" he chuckled.
Sophia looked the most angry, her eyes were aflame, "you stupid Poseidon child! Do you have no brain!"
"As I said before, once Athena, always Athena, doesn't like Poseidon children"
At this Sophia froze and went deathly pale, her eyes went hollow and pained.
"Jinx!" Lucillia snarled,
Jinx looked to the ground in shame,
"Perhaps we should get on with the mission"
"Mission?" I asked
"Protection, Lucillia found another demi-god another one that was special"
Everyone set off with Lucillia and Sophia frowning at the back, "perhaps I should do it" Lucillia suggested
Sophia looked at Lucillia "you don't mind?"
Lucillia shrugged "I'll get punished for you."
We all gasped, "Punished?" Piper asked,
Jinx smirked, "not in the way you think"
I think all of us wore confused expressions or cocked our heads,
"Their impossible to separate those two, always been the best of friends, but their like Yin and Yang, so different but inseparable, especially with Lucillia so loyal" Jinx said cheerfully,
"Oh the horror!" Sophia said sarcastically, "thank you"
"It's okay, I understand what you're going through...although I don't understand why you don't take my energy and bring them back now"
"Because you do too much for us! The least I can do after all you have done is let me supply all the energy"
"What are they talking about?" Jason asked,
"Restoring olden souls past away"
"You mean, like reincarnation?" Hazel asked
"Sort of"
"Yes, but would he want you to get hurt?"
Sophia didn't answer, she looked at the floor guiltily.
"We have arrived." Lucillia said as her outfit changed into simple faded jeans and a black tank top.
"Are you sure?" Sophia asked again,
Lucillia waved it off, "I don't mind"
Sophia narrowed her eyes, "perhaps you should change form?"
Lucillia sighed "it's been a while since I've seen a random mortal. If I changed form, it would be a demi-gods parent and Kronos would recognise me with-in seconds"
"KRONOS?" We all shouted,
"Kronos was never after you, he was trying to draw Lucillia out of hiding, for Gaia, Lucillia was seen as the only obstacle, until he fought you" Jinx said looking at Percy,
He blushed, what was it we didn't know? Percy has defeated Kronos?
"But we had a secret weapon" Jinx smirked,
"What?" Athena asked,
Jinx winked at her, and said nothing.
"I have to protect this one, Sophia"
"Why?"
"Because I will not let another one be tortured!"
"Tortured?"
"The first was forced to harvest jewels by her own mother."
Hazel.
"The second was taken from his family."
Jason.
"The third...is still lost."
Leo.
"The other is having to live with an atrocious step-father."
I didn't know who that was but I saw Percy clench his fists.
"And worse I can't do anything for them."
Sophia looked to the floor, "I apologise, I should be more sympathetic"
Lucillia nodded and walked to the front of the group, the guy with red roots narrowed his eyes,
"What are you doing?" he snarled,
"The plan" Lucillia said smoothly as if it were usual,
"And why are you dressed like that?"
"You expect me to flirt in armour?"
His eyes widened, this giving Lucillia a moment to run past him, at super-human speed, out of the forest straight to a...mall.
"The guys head snapped to Sophia, "What is she doing?"
"Taking my place since Miss. Big Mouth here-" she japed her thumb at Jinx "-made me depressed" Sophia answered,
Jinx burst out laughing, "Oh this is going to be good" she said clapping her hands.
"Oh relax, Taylor, the least of out worries is that she's flirting with someone twice her age" Sophia giggled,
"Technically isn't she about 20 times his age?" Destan asked,
The Nico-clone laughed "probably about 1000 but oh well" he smirked,
"How old is she?" Leo asked,
Jinx shrugged, "Quite a few millenniums I suppose."
Taylor's face became more and more redder as he got more angry, "Ash"
The Nico-clone, Ash, looked up,
"Shut up!"
Ash did a fake salute "Sir-yes-sir"
Sophia rolled her eyes "men. Whether it's being possessive or stupid."
"We are not possessive!" Percy yelled,
Jinx raised her eyebrows at that.
"Come on, the plan is in motion" Sophia commanded
"What makes you the boss of us?" Destan asked.
"He acts just like a son of Poseidon." Athena commented
"You will have to change your perspective if you want to meet Sophia, never mind Lucillia"
"Because I am the second-in-command you are just a protector!" she snarled,
"Sheesh" Destan held up his hands in surrender,
Sophia's armour changed into jeans and a silver tank top, Jinx's outfit turned into a navy tank and indigo jeans, the guys had only just realised none of them had tops on so they manipulated shirts out of thin air, they patrolled the outside of the mall. The image switched to inside the mall where Lucillia was walking around a sunglasses booth, when suddenly a blur appeared and jumped onto Lucillia's back and squeezed her to death.
We were all worried until we figured it was a younger Piper. We all turned to see her blushing,
"I remember this" she mumbled "it's blurry but I remember"
Jinx smiled "we begged Lucillia to let you remember her"
I saw Piper smile at this, but then frown "it was all real, I thought it was a nightmare?"
Jinx frowned,
"Nightmare?" Jason asked,
Piper didn't answer she was shaking and tears were falling down her cheeks.
Lucillia laughed and, slowly, managed to coax Piper to let go, Piper looked about six here. She started screaming in Lucillia's ear "Lucy! Lucy! You're here!"
Piper blushed as everyone 'Aww'ed.
Lucillia's beautiful laugh echoed through the mall as Piper's dad came over – at least I think her dad, he looked like one of those actors from a film I think all the girls were obsessed with – he smirked at the picture "good to see you again, Lucillia"
"You too" she replied still hugging Piper, "how have you been?"
"Good, you?"
Lucillia shrugged "what about you Piper" she asked, the little girl who was now grasping her leg,
"I'm all alone"
Piper blushed even more; "Aww" Jason cooed putting his arm around Piper "revenge" he smirked.
Lucillia tutted "have you not being paying attention to your daughter, Tristan (A/N is that his name?)"
Piper's dad smirked "haven't got the beautiful wife to be ready when I get home and look after Piper during the day" he winked at Lucillia,
Lucillia giggled.
"Oh My Gods is she flirting?" Hazel asked bewildered,
Piper looked like she was going to be sick,
Jason laughed "oh this is great payback!"
"Do you want me to look after her for the day, you seem busy" Lucillia said sympathetically,
"Sure, thanks"
Lucillia nodded and walked off with Piper in tow.
"Lucy?"
"Yes?"
"How come daddy calls you 'Lucillia'?"
Lucillia smiled, they had stopped walking and where now by a fountain, Lucillia picked up Piper so she could sit on the fountain, Lucillia kneeled on the floor so she was eye level with Piper "only special people are allowed to call me Lucy" she said,
Piper smiled "am I special?"
Lucillia's eyes were sparkling with love "yes you are, Piper, very special"
"Lucy, are you my mum?"
Everyone's eyes bulged and they looked at Piper, she was tractor red and not meeting her real mother's eyes.
Lucillia froze, "why do you think that, Piper?" she frowned
Piper looked down "my dad said my mum was really pretty...and you're really, really, pretty, and dad likes you and you say I'm special"
"You are special, Piper, never forget that!" Lucillia suddenly looked angry "your mother was selfish, she is selfish! She left someone like you! That makes her evil! Promise me, Piper! If you ever meet her! Help her, do what she asks! But don't let her control you! Do not turn into her puppet! Fight for what you think is right! Not what everyone else tells you! For we are nothing without our own choices." Lucillia hugged Piper, and Piper clung to her chest crying "don't be afraid" Lucillia cooed kissing Piper's head, "I'll always be there to protect you, I'll always guide you, okay?"
Piper nodded.
"Where we really that bad?" Aphrodite asked, slightly crying.
"Lucillia's point of view changed after the Titan war. But she still argues that she was able to look after and protect her children even when she had to help in wars and protect demi-gods that weren't even hers, and you hardly cry when your children are killed."
Lucillia pulled back "okay, enough tears" she said, wiping away Piper's tears.
"Now, what do you want to do?"
Piper's colourful eyes scanned the mall as Lucillia's phone rang,
"Hello?" Lucillia asked, looking slightly confused,
"Hello, Love" we heard through the phone, Lucillia's eyes widened, her breathing suddenly became hitched.
"Who is that?" I asked
"I recognise the voice" Poseidon said,
"This made Lucillia think worse of the gods" Jinx said,
"Who is it?" Annabeth asked
"Triton" Percy said angrily.
"What do you want?" Lucillia asked,
We heard chuckling on the phone "keep playing, you'll be a prize in my palace"
"You're insane!"
"You may think that, my beautiful mortal, but not for long."
"He thinks she's mortal?" Percy asked
Jinx nodded "she has to act like one here, he planned on making her his wife."
Poseidon looked disgusted "why can't he be more like you, Percy? He's giving the gods a terrible reputation!"
"Indeed" Jinx nodded, "but Lucillia knows not all the gods are perfect."
Lucillia looked at Piper, "stay away from me!"
"Not likely..."
"Stay the hell away from me!"
"Lucy?" Piper asked, Lucillia hung up the phone without another word,
"Yes?"
Piper looked down "I know you say you're not my 'real' mum, but I feel like you are, so can I call you mum?" Piper asked,
Lucillia smiled "of course, but not when your father's around" she leaned by Piper's ear "or if you see a man with red highlights, okay?"
Piper looked confused but nodded with a happy smile.
Lucillia looked at her phone and rung someone,
"Hello?" the voice was groggy, but at the same time commanding
"Nicole, (A/N just in case you didn't notice, from before when Jinx mentioned Breeze, this is her I changed the name! Sorry for the confusion) I need a favour..."
"Of course, Luce!" Nicole's voice was suddenly excited and more attentive,
"You still want to beat up a son of Poseidon?"
"Hell yes! I'm a fucking daughter of Zeus for crying out loud! When will I not want to kill one?" she yelled into the phone
"Shh, you can't kill him"
"Damn your kindness!"
"No, you can't kill him because he's a minor god"
"Even better! Show those stuck up snobs who's boss!"
Lucillia laughed "you do that, you in?"
"Hell yes! Where are you?"
"Nearest mall to you"
"On my way, see you there Luce"
Lucillia hung up the phone and looked at Piper, her expression went worried and pained, "Shit" she whispered,
"Luce?"
Lucillia looked up from the fountain to see a girl who has electric-blue eyes and long black, choppy hair, Lucillia breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank the gods!"
"What?"
"Kronos."
The girls eyes widened, "well it's a good thing I'm fast, what do you want me to do, kill the Poseidon spawn and help or what?"
"No! Ignore him! Hopefully he'll leave, I need you to take Piper away from here" Lucillia said grabbing Piper's hand,
"Oh no! No! You are not playing loyal hero again!" Nicole yelled,
"It keeps everyone safe, I don't care if I die, I need to protect my children"
Nicole narrowed her eyes but picked up Piper, she looked at Nicole strangely, but smiled at her, Nicole started running but turned before leaving the mall, "I'm getting Taylor!" she cried across the mall before running out, a tear ran down Lucillia's cheek.
"Well isn't that a pretty picture" Lucillia turned slowly to come face-to-face with a random man, but his gold eyes were impossible to miss, "just like you always were, Lucillia, too loyal for your own good" Kronos smirked, "you'll never win"
"Why is that?" Lucillia asked,
Kronos chuckled; he took out Backbiter and slashed at Lucillia.
Piper's POV
I felt like screaming and that's exactly what I did, "NOOO!" I yelled at the video, almost collapsing,
Lucy brought up her arm and Backbiter hit it but it bounced off her and made a clanging noise as if it had hit a shield, Lucy smirked, "you're going to have to do better than that!" she brought out a golden dagger and stabbed Kronos in the shoulder, the movement happening faster than the speed of light. The dagger pierced Kronos, but she didn't take it out she left it in and took out more daggers from hiding places I couldn't see, pretty soon all his body had daggers or poisonous darts sticking out almost everywhere. "Please give me a challenge, Kronos, I thought people were scared of you, I thought people were meant to tremble before the mighty Kronos" her voice was dripping with sarcasm, Kronos scowled at her, then suddenly the building of the mall began to shake as if there was an earth quake, people started screaming and running out of the building, Lucy scowled, "What a coward you are! Depending on your mummy!" Lucy waved her hand and the shaking stopped.
"Where did she get this power?" Athena asked bewildered "she just stopped one of Gaia's earthquakes without barely lifting a finger!"
Kronos narrowed his eyes to tiny slits, "this is impossible, you can't be this powerful, my mother rains dominance over you!"
Lucy let out a laugh, it shook the building as she tipped her head back, she smiled at Kronos, a smile mixed with pride, accomplishment, madness and evil. "You should always study your enemy, Kronos" she snarled laughing again, "do not tell me you had the nerve to challenge me without knowing who I am" she laughed, the building shook again, but it wasn't Lucy, Lucy sighed "you really are a coward" she sated as his essence disappeared, "I hope I do not see you for at least another millennium otherwise I will be out for blood. More revenge than I crave now!" Kronos was gone, his form and essence shredded to pieces again, but as Lucy turned a pillar fell towards her, it was moving faster than it should but a force pushed Lucy out of the way. Lucy lay only a few metres from the fallen pillar, but the sight she saw when she looked up scarred her. Taylor was under the pillar, blood pooled around him, his eyes closed, not even his fingers were twitching. "NOOOO!" Lucy screeched, emotion pooled out of her as she grabbed Taylor's head and laid it on her lap. She cried, golden tears falling onto the floor, the mall was now empty of people,
You foolish girl. We heard Gaia. We heard her laugh. Don't tell me you cared for this thing. She laughed again. He was a foolish, love-sick son of Ares, he was nothing! Lucy's eyes went blood-red and were instantly filled with anger as three words escaped her lips "He was mine" she snarled and let out an ear piercing scream that shook the building violently, the glass everywhere shattered, everything was falling everywhere, there was nothing that could stay still, the floor was littered with debris and piling higher every second, the lights swung around and crashed to the floor in a pool of sparks, water from the fountain pooled around Lucy's feet.
The image vanished as we saw the building crash down on a heart-broken Lucy...
Lucillia's POV Child of (last chance guys, guess who her parent is and you get to choose a scene or ask a Question)
Something was wrong. They never took this long. Jinx had an excuse, she might still be waiting for the demi-god to arrive, and I knew my Lieutenant liked to fool around. But Sophia...I had sent her on the journey a week ago, she never took this long, she hated to be away from the sea. The sea was her only connection. Something was wrong. They were taking way too long. The prophecy was a dangerous one, Jinx had not heard it yet. I sighed. It seems I must visit Camp Half-Blood again...
Whelp there it is! Okay guys! This may be your last shot! Guess who Lucy is! Or if you want you can guess Jinx! Have a go! Remember if you win you get to ask a question and I'll answer it in the chapter, or you can have a scene e.g. Percabeth or Jasper ect.
I'LL TRY AND UPDATE NEW WEEKEND!
