OKAY. READ THIS BECAUSE IT IS IMPORTANT! Very much so! Okay, well, I couldn't come up with a single way of how the gang defeated the dragon that guards the tree up there in the garden, so I thought, since I didn't want to ruin the story with a lame story, I'd just give you a quick summary of that.
People got hurt.
All righty then! That's your quick summary. :D Sorry about that. I'm just so pathetic sometimes… T.T Please enjoy the rest of the story, which is way more interesting than the summary. Trust me. I apologize again for a really crappy summary there… But, I'll just say that Atlas showed up and whisked them away to a little cell! DUN DUN DUUUUUUN! -crickets- … Nevermind. Please read on.

Chapter Ten: Let's Ride the Sun!
I woke up to familiar territory. The air was hot and smelled like someone was burning hair or rubber. I felt sore all over from moving and blocking. I felt a few cuts sting with my sweat. I was tempted to fall back to sleep when I heard loud yelling and a roar of agony that sounded way too familiar.
Adrienne.
I forced my eyes to open, finding my eyelids to be really heavy. I blinked a few times, holding the side of my head to find out I had rolled off a mattress that was neatly placed on the floor. I grimaced, holding my head for a second to steady myself as I got to my hands and knees. The yelling was getting louder and it sounded close by…
"You guys are sick!" Lolita was screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Shut up, girl, or you'll be next." Atlas's voice snarled back. Just hearing his voice, I bolted to my feet, ignoring the searing pain that flooded through them. I had lost my boots and the hot jagged rocks didn't feel all that nice on my bare feet.
I went to the large metal door that was left partway open. I was about to open it, but I noticed someone standing in front of it. I immediately recognized him as Epimetheus…
My dad.
He looked entertained by something across the room… My eyes landed on his entertainment and horror shocked every nerve in my body, which made me throw open the door faster than I could speak.
Adrienne was struggling greatly under the weight of black rocks… The sky. She was sweating profoundly, letting out sharp gasps of agony. Epimetheus had whirled around, his eyes locking on me.
"Ritz… You're awake." He deadpanned. I scowled at him, keeping my hand clamped over a wound in my hip.
"I've been awake! What the heck is going on?" I demanded. Epimetheus was going to answer, but Atlas cut him off in a smart-alecky tone that by far beat my dad's or mine.
"You're about to be grounded for life." Atlas retorted, folding his bulky arms over his chest. I glared at him and was about to return a comment, but Epimetheus covered my mouth quickly. I pulled away, wiping my mouth.
"Guh, don't touch me! You better let my friends go before I-"
"Before you what? Kill us?" Epimetheus challenged, glowering down at me. For a second there, I felt really small. Like all he had to do was smack me and my brains would splatter at Adrienne's feet. I kept my mouth shut instead, looking over at my friends, whom were all occupying a very uncomfortable looking cage that was built into the wall.
"You really need to keep track of your girlfriends, brother," Atlas snickered as he fiddled with a ring of keys around a finger, "You have a brat of a child there…"
"Bite me!" I blurted, which earned me another threatening glare from Epimetheus. I cringed in spite of myself. Why was I scared of him? I wasn't scared of him on the phone… It was easier to back talk him when he couldn't see me…
"What're you guys planning to do?!" Nox demanded impatiently as she leaned on one of the bars of the cell.
"It's none of your business." Atlas retorted harshly, gripping the keys in his fist after he twirled them a bit. Epimetheus rolled his eyes, then looked at me sternly. Were dads supposed to be that scary? I was almost afraid he'd kill me on the spot…
"We need to talk." He stated, making a grab for my elbow, but a new voice broke into the room after the slamming of a metal door.
"Tell her now, brother," Prometheus said as he strode across the room, "If you're planning on telling her anything, do it now… Menoetius can't wait. He might as well be the Titan of impatience for all we know."
"I know that…" Epimetheus grumbled, looking more like a pouting five-year-old than an evil Titan. This time, he did grab my arm and haul me into the next room. I stumbled a bit on my bad leg, then caught myself to watch my dad lock up the door. I watched him uneasily.
"Hey, you know, I didn't mean any of the mean things I said before…" I began, but Epimetheus only gave a small laugh. It sounded a bit forced, but it was something to make me stop talking. He turned to me, running a hand through his ponytail as he sighed.
"All right… I think Prometheus gave some things away at that point…"
"Yea… You're trying to bring Menoetius back from Tartarus." I stated with a frown. Epimetheus shrugged as if I had just told him I had a bad day at school as he leaned against the door with his arms folded.
"You wouldn't understand… You don't have any siblings… Or at least I hope not." He added under his breath. I scowled.
"You don't even want me here, do you? You just wanted to get us out of your way because we're going to tell Zeus what your plan is." I responded icily, forgetting about my cuts and clenching my fists. Epimetheus frowned, studying me for a second.
"The original plan was to just bring Menoetius back so our little quad was complete… So Kronos' previous army could be reborn a bit later on… Unfortunately, Prometheus caught on to a little piece of information. He kept saying that I had a kid. I didn't believe him. So, I let him do whatever he wanted. I let him go destroy the elevator in the Empire State Building."
"Nice work." I commented dryly. He shrugged again, pushing off the wall.
"He didn't want the Olympians to know. If they found out I had a kid, they'd use it to destroy Kronos' army. I still didn't believe him, even though he said he saw you at that dinner party back in Chicago. I don't think I even believed it when I was carrying you back to the hotel."
"Same here." I admitted, relaxing only a little bit. Epimetheus gave a smile, but it was short lived as a thought occurred to me.
"I don't get it, though. Percy and I were given a prophecy before we left for Olympus… After that, we weren't allowed in because apparently Prometheus ruined the elevator to prevent me from going to Olympus… I've met Dionysus, Hermes, and Ares. None of them knew who I was… If the Olympians don't know, why would it have mattered?"
"… Who said they didn't know? I'll admit. Ares might not have known because he's the broken light bulb of the bunch, but Dionysus and Hermes are pretty smart… They probably already knew, but decided against saying anything… They probably wanted to see if it was true. This plan really turned into a jumbled mess, to be quite honest… It's hard to keep you from the Olympians when you're traveling with their children."
"Is that why you tried to get rid of them with the manticore? You tried to kill Erato, Alex, and Nox?" I demanded angrily. Epimetheus frowned as he continued to study me.
"Not me. Prometheus. It's like I said before… I didn't even know you existed until only a day or so ago. I didn't believe it until I saw the resemblance."
"Huh?"
"Between you and Cherry, er, your mother." Epimetheus mumbled, looking a bit embarrassed. I shifted uncomfortably too, avoiding his eyes completely.
"Whatever… Look, what if I promised to stop meddling? Will you let my friends go then? Please?" I tried, although, I had a feeling that Epimetheus was going to refuse. He gave me a funny look.
"You get along with them?" He asked. I blinked owlishly at him. What the heck was he talking about?
"Of course, I get along with them! They're my friends!" I cried in disbelief. Epimetheus looked grim again and turned to open the door, but I stomped my foot.
"Hey! You didn't answer my request!"
"I thought it was a question."
"For a Titan, you're pretty dumb." I blurted, then went quiet as Epimetheus stopped messing with the lock on the door. He looked at me sharply.
"Hold your tongue, Ritz. I'm not as smart as Prometheus or Menoetius, I'll grant you that, but I know what I'm doing. I'm a scatter planner. I do things out of order and I do things at the last minute."
"I figured as much." Another death glare landed in my direction.
"I'm not letting those kids go. They're going to convince you to go against me and your uncles." He snapped, then slammed the door shut with a loud locking sound following. I was so angry as I fumed.
"GAAHHHH!!! IT'S MY UNCLES AND I!!!" I screamed stupidly.

Anger was still boiling in my blood as I sat fuming on the mattress in the room, listening to my friends yell from their cell outside the room. Being anger was wearing me out, though. It made me sweat even more, so I traded my jacket and Gorillaz t-shirt for a black tank top and a pair of khaki shorts. Why was it so hot?
It wasn't like the place was volcanic…
Just when I thought life was over and not worth living, my door opened and I leapt to my feet, hoping something good would happen, but Prometheus came in instead. I glared at him, wishing I had my sword so I could land a few blows worse than his vulture scratches.
"What do you want?" I demanded coldly. Prometheus gave a weak smile.
"You hate me, don't you? Even after I tried to protect you and help you find your father?"
"Oh, right… Thanks for ruining my life!" I spat sarcastically, kicking the side of the mattress. Prometheus sighed.
"You have Epimetheus's temper…" He mused more to himself. I shuddered at the thought of being compared to my dad. He was just a stubborn… Stubborn… I wanted to swear at him so badly, but couldn't find anything that fit right…
Too much of a variety.
"Why do you want to help the Olympian demigods, Ritz?" Prometheus asked suddenly, as if he were a doctor. I frowned at him over my shoulder.
"They're my friends. Uh-duh."
"But why? Titans obviously have a natural hate for the Olympians… I'm surprised neither of you have gutted each other yet."
"Well, I've thought about it with Alex a few times, but that's only because he's a flirtatious little troll." I muttered dryly as I kicked my foot against the rocky floor. Prometheus scanned me up and down slowly, tilting his head as if he were still fascinated. His glasses slipped down his nose before he pushed them back up, a sad smile crossing his face.
"Maybe Epimetheus's fears are correct… Maybe you are turning on us to join the Olympians."
"No! I mean," I paused, glaring at him for tricking me into getting angry again, "I meant… I don't take sides. It's not my thing. If I do that, I'll have enemies at every corner. Ares already wants to fry my butt for being a smart mouth. Not to mention, I have to make promises to my side, which I probably can't keep. And I most certainly can't turn on my friends and the people who actually DIDN'T try to kill me."
"Ahhh, but Ares did, did he not? And what of his daughter, Clarisse?" Prometheus tried, making me twitch with fury.
"He doesn't count! He's the god of war, for Hades' sake! He LOVES fighting and so should his offspring! I'm only thirteen-years-old! I can't choose sides now!"
"… Are you saying that because you are caught between the fear of your father and the bond you have with your friends?" Prometheus mused, watching me carefully behind his wire-rimmed glasses. I blinked, staring at him blankly as I pondered that.
Sure, I was scared of my dad. Who wouldn't be? I mean, he's about six foot five and I'm only five foot one and a half. He's more than a foot taller, just like Prometheus, only my dad… He had a scarier look to him. He looked as tough as Atlas, only without the rippling muscles…His evil radiated almost as strongly as any evil guy, maybe even worse.
"I'm not turning on anyone," I began carefully, "But that doesn't mean I can't interfere. I have only one thing in mind and that's to help my friends. Whether it get my dad in trouble or not. Just because he's an all powerful Titan doesn't mean he has enough power to make me choose left over right."
"If that's how you feel… You seem to be intent on keeping your ideals the way they are… I just hope you know what you're doing." Prometheus sighed, tilting his head a bit as his neck popped. I twitched at the sound, then frowned at him.
"Why do you care what happens to me? I'm just a stupid demigod." I muttered. A smile spread across Prometheus's face.
"I am your uncle. I really don't think it's a good idea for the Titan legacy to die along with its holders, don't you?"
"I guess… If you care so much, why won't you help me let my friends go?"
"I can only do so much before I get irritated myself. It still irks me that you favor the Olympians over your own blood, but I won't try and change your mind any further. I can see now that it's hopeless."
"You're right about that… Now let me out of this room before I cut my own head off."
"With what?" Prometheus challenged my suicide note. I shrugged and held up my hands to show off my black painted fingernails.
"I'll claw my head right off. Now let me out of the room, at least. You can't really think about keeping me cooped up."
"… If you do me a favor."
"Guh, what's that?"

I was sorry I asked… Prometheus made me change out of my torn up and shredded clothes, trading them in for something much fancier and cleaner by far. It really reminded me of the chiton that the Ancient Greeks wore; only he gave me a pair of black leggings to go with. Not my style, but it was a lot better than my dirtied clothes.
Prometheus led me out of the room into the main room, where Adrienne was still struggling greatly. Red began to paint itself onto her face as the pain grew in her body from holding up probably the heaviest thing since Dionysus's big butt…
"Ritz! What are you doing?" Nox asked quickly, grabbing my arm when I went by the cell. I paused, frowning at her before I thought over my words.
"I don't know… I can't really let you guys out right away," I explained, Nox's impatient look making me nervous, "If I do, Atlas will make you guys into dodge balls before we could ever make it to the exit, wherever the heck that is. I need more time…"
"Is it time or are you just trying to suck up to daddy?" Lolita demanded. I shot her a harsh glare, clenching my fists on the cell bars.
"I don't need his approval for anything. When I see the right opportunity, I'll let you guys out. Now just isn't the time." I protested angrily, but she as well as the others looked unconvinced.
"Ritz… Are you sure you're thinking about letting us out?" Erato asked, glancing at Prometheus, who was watching silently from his post by my door. I scowled, pushing back from the bars.
"You guys are just a bunch of impudent little snots! I will let you go, I promise! Even if it gets me killed, I'm letting you guys go! And that goes double for Adrienne!" I snapped, then whirled around to see Adrienne looking at me past her sweat with an unconvinced look. I was tempted to go over there and shove her to the ground, ready to take the weight from her back, but the look Prometheus told me if I did that, my friends wouldn't live to see tomorrow.
"I'll prove it." I muttered, then brushed past Prometheus, who gave me an eerie stare as he followed.
"Where're you going?" He asked sternly, like he was expecting some guy to take me out on a date. Gods, he was more of a father than my father was. At least, in the tone of voice.
"I'm going to find Epimetheus so I can order him to let my friends go!" I snarled at him viciously, shoving him off my side as I went toward the only other door in the room. Prometheus sighed, pushing up his glasses on his nose.
"If you do that, he'll get angrier than he already is. My brother's temper is about as bad as-"
"It's not as bad as mine!"
"If you really think you can confront him by yourself like you did earlier, I wouldn't be surprised."
"What's that supposed to mean?" I snapped as I whirled around to face him. Prometheus studied me closely, his piercing eyes going as far as to lock on my own. I saw his pupil dilate visibly, hiding the bluish colored iris.
"You're as scared of him as any smart person would be… You won't be able to tell your father what to do…" He warned me slowly. I scowled.
"I can try."
"Good luck."
"Thanks." I opened the door and found myself looking at a nice long stream of corridors. I hissed past my teeth and whirled to find Prometheus wearing a very unfitting smile that he was horribly failing to hide.
"I hate you."
"Yes, we covered this."
"If I can't find him, I'll make him find me… Adrienne, your shift is up!" I yelled, shoving past Prometheus, whose expression grew pale and horrified.
"You can't hold that up! Epimetheus-"
"Can bite me!" I finished angrily and approached Adrienne carefully, avoiding her trembling form under the weight. I was hesitant, then reached up, pushing on the black boulders.
"I got it!" I snapped, bumping Adrienne with my hip. She easily collapsed to the floor and that's when I realized I made a big mistake. The weight almost crushed me as soon as Adrienne's help left. My legs felt stiff and achy already as my arms wobbled. I suddenly realized why Atlas tried to trick people to carry his burden!
The sky was so heavy!! That didn't even COVER the feeling of agony that tore up and down my body as I clenched my teeth. My body was already sore from fighting to get up the mountain and not to mention sleeping on a hard mattress!
I heard a loud scream echo in the room and that's when I recognized it as my own. I hadn't realized I was screaming past my clenched teeth until I felt like my throat was dry.
To my immediate relief, Epimetheus did burst into the room with Atlas and the manticore that had attacked my friends and I on the train to Chicago.
"Ritz?!" Epimetheus sounded both furious and surprised at the same time as his eyes locked on me. I quivered under the weight, ducking my head a bit to avoid my neck from craning back to look at my weight. Better not to look at it, I figured…
"Let my friends go…!" I seethed, but it sounded hoarse and ragged. Epimetheus heard me, though, because I could see an angry vein bulge in his forehead as he glared at me. I could practically feel the intensity of rage as his eyes stilled on me. Atlas was looking at me a bit perplexed, but said nothing as the manticore snickered.
"Ritz, if you think for one minute that this little game will make me let your worthless Olympians go…" Epimetheus began, but I screamed to cut him off.
"Guhhhh!!! Let them go, please! I promise to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't destroy any of your plans! I promise! I promise! I swear on the River Styx that I will make sure they don't interfere! Now for gods' sakes let 'em go!" I screamed as sweat trickled to the floor. I also noticed a nice trickle of blood dripping from my fingernails as the boulders crushed them.
Epimetheus was silent for a moment, his eyes wide before he locked his eyes on the manticore, Mr. Callahan.
"What're you standing there for, you ugly little troll?! Take that weight from her! NOW!" Epimetheus roared so loud it almost shook the entire cavern. Mr. Callahan squeaked loudly, but look hesitant steps toward me, like he was afraid to take the weight. I would've run if I were him, except Epimetheus's viciously cold glare was locked on him like a sniper rifle.
Eventually, Atlas gave him a hard shove and he stumbled, catching the weight off my shoulders. Immediately, I slumped beside Adrienne on the ground, breathing hard as I gave up trying to stand.
"You're making a mistake…" Adrienne groaned as she struggled to her hands and knees. I cursed out loud, ignoring Epimetheus's disapproving scowl.
"You are too. By not getting out of here, now scat!" I snapped, shoving her as best I could. Prometheus had already let my other friends out, but they were too stunned to run too.
"Are you guys stupid?! GO!" I shouted at them. That seemed to snap them back to attention. Lolita darted in, helping Adrienne to her feet carefully with Erato's help.
"What about you, Ritz?" Alex asked quickly, his eyes watching me as I struggled to my feet.
"I'll catch up, just get out of here." I whined impatiently, falling back onto my knees as my body quivered. Alex didn't look like he was going to budge one bit. I was right within the next few seconds because he turned to the others.
"Get out while you still can. I'll take Ritz and drag her back!" He commanded, but it sounded like he was really serious. I tried to comprehend why he was doing it, but I had no time as I coughed up some dust that had flown into my lungs. Lolita, Adrienne, Nox, and Erato seemed convinced on leaving and took off toward the free door while Alex darted to help me to my feet. I could hear Mr. Callahan roaring loudly in pain as the Titans glared at him, daring him to move and crush Alex and I.
"So, that's the way you want it, huh?" Epimetheus asked at last, frowning at me. I saw a very dangerous glow in his eyes as Alex held me up against his side. I reflected his expression, nodding.
"Yea… I'm not giving up on my friends, not in a million years. The only reason I'm even tolerating you in the same room with me… Is because I'm not going to lie and say I'm not scared of you when I am." I admitted, shrugging the best I could with sore shoulders.
"You're still a smart mouth… Get out of here before I change my mind and decide to make you stay here…" Epimetheus snapped at me angrily, his bright eyes twinkling in the torches that hung around the room. I forced a smile.
"I see where I get it from." I replied as best I could without freaking out about his angry look as I pushed off Alex's side to take off toward the door. Alex was right at my heels to catch me in case I fell.
The last thing I heard before I slammed the door shut behind me was Epimetheus yelling at me.
"DON'T YOU GO MESSING AROUND WITH BOYS, YOUNG LADY!!!!"
"Did he just say what I thought he said?" Alex asked me as we sprinted down the corridor toward the maze of other halls. I grumbled under my breath, cursing whoever built the hallways.
"Do you think the others got out fine?" I asked, diverting my attention to the empty halls we kept running through. Alex shrugged.
"Probably… If they can do it, we can too!"
"Don't get happy little elf on me because I got some bad news." I muttered. Alex looked at me with a raised eyebrow as we turned another corner.
"What's that?"
"Well… Er, nevermind. Let's just get out of here."
"But-"
"Look, I see light!" I exclaimed, cutting him off and pointing. He looked up as bright sunshine exploded down the hall. Eagerly, we ran toward the light, but totally didn't pay attention to the fact that there was nowhere to stand once we got out there!
The floor completely vanished from beneath us and we hit the rocky surface of the side of the mountain. I would've laughed how it looked like a cartoon and I think Alex would've took, if we hadn't of been tumbling to our death. Within a few seconds, my body slammed into a really hard boulder that was perched some few feet down the side of the mountain. All the oxygen blasted out my lungs and it didn't help that Alex slammed into me.
"Agh… For Hades' sake, Alex…" I whimpered in pain, cringing. Alex groaned himself, pushing himself up around me.
"Sorry… I tried to stop…" He mumbled, scanning my face. I scowled at him, shoving him back a bit as I managed to catch my balance between the boulder and the side of the mountain.
"After this, I'm going to take a long hot bath and sleep for a year." I complained, leaning on the boulder for more support. Alex gave his trademark sly grin.
"If you'd like, I could join you-"
"You know, flirting with me on the side of a cliff isn't smart because I could just, you know, push you to your death." I grumbled. Alex suddenly seemed very interested in trying to get safely back to earth.
"So, how high up do you think we are?" He asked casually. I peered over his arm and let out a long wail of horror and ducked back by the boulder between Alex's arms, shuddering.
"Ohhhh, gods! I couldn't even see the bottom!! Oh gods! Why me?! Why couldn't I have been a good little demigod and hide back at Camp Half-Flood?!"
"Camp Half-Blood." Alex corrected kindly, grinning the entire time. I scowled, then sighed to relax as best I could. I didn't like heights all that well… And falling wasn't a great talent of mine, so there was no way I was going to jump.
"What'd we do?" I asked at last, exasperated as the cool morning wind whipped around us as heavy clouds hung around us, covering up the last of the sunlight. Alex shrugged lightly, then grinned at me again.
"We could free fall-"
"What did I tell you about making comments like that? Do you WANT to end up road kill that fell from a bazillion feet up?" I demanded. Alex got interested in something else now, but this time, it was something useful as the sun began to shine past the clouds.
"Is it just me or is the sun getting closer?" He asked, his eyebrows going up in surprise. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head.
"You're delusional." I deadpanned. Alex blinked and squinted.
"No, I really think it's getting closer."
"Quit it! You'll go blind if you keep staring at it like that!" I snapped, slamming my fist against his chest uselessly. He took that chance to grin at me.
"You wouldn't want me to blind so I could see you?"
"Your death, maybe!" I snarled, but that's when I noticed the sun really was getting closer! Within seconds, a nice red little car pulled up along side us. I'm not going to lie when I saw the guy sitting in the driver's seat. My heart fluttered as Apollo sat up straight, tossing off a pair of sunglasses as he grinned.
"Hellooo, demigods! Welcome to the Apollo Express. Leaving for Camp Half-Blood in the next five seconds. Need a lift?" He asked with a flirtatious smile. I couldn't stop a smile from crossing my lips as well as a warm blush that definitely wasn't caused by the sun; his car.
Alex looked a little annoyed, but relieved at the same time and dragged me into the back seats to settle in.
"How did you know to come?" I asked, leaning up to watch him start up the car. Apollo grinned lazily as he replaced his sunglasses.
"Easy, my lovely half-blood. I see all and know all. It's what makes my sister jealous." He bragged and we took off. I leaned back in the seat, watching Apollo the entire time. Really, it's not that hard to keep a gnat's attention span on Apollo because he was drop dead sexy.
There. I said it. Apollo was probably the number one most handsome god I've met so far with Hermes taking up second place. Seriously, anyone who'd been with Apollo before has GOT to be lucky.
"And since I know all," Apollo brought up slowly, his tone changing to something more serious, "I also know that you're the daughter of Epimetheus." An eerie silence hung in the car as I shifted uncomfortably.
"I really rather not talk about it, Lord Apollo…" I mumbled. Alex nodded quickly to agree.
"Yea. Let's just save that for another time. She just got done holding up the sky and getting beat up on the side of a mountain." He agreed quickly. Apollo grinned at us in the rearview mirror.
"All righty…. Ahh! I have a haiku for that little adventure and it goes something like-" I didn't get to hear his legendary horrible haiku's for Alex covered my ears, rolling his eyes at Apollo's annoying haiku. However, a grin was still on Alex's face. It was the last thing I saw before I slowly slipped into a comfortably warm sleep on the sun…
