A/N: I do not own anything, it all belongs to Rick Riordan, and I own whatever you don't recognize.
Raziel's POV:
I can't believe that just happened. I paced back and forth in the meeting area, while the others were getting strapped up with their weapons. "Azrael did you make contact with the others?" I asked, strapping my sword across my chest.
"Yes," she answered, pulling on her boots. "They all are looking for her as we speak. I just got informed that she's not in Texas."
"Okay," I turned to face everyone, they all were suited up. "Alright, we're splitting up. Azrael, Sadrine, Thrones, Zephron, Cuba, Valca, and I are taking New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Bronco, you and your group take New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Taroni and your group take to Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire. Praxoi you take your group to Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. Azrael on our way contact base, and send them to the middle of America, Alaska and Hawaii. We all here will meet up at the Canadian border, then split up and search there. Everyone be safe. If you find her, send an I.M."
My group and I went outside of the cabin, it was still dark and everyone at the camp was still sleeping. "Okay we're splitting up once more. Zephron and Valca you two will go to Delaware, Thrones and Cuba, you two take Pennsylvania, and Sadrine, Azrael and I are going to New Jersey. In three hours we will meet up in Washington D.C. and search together. Okay let's move out people."
"Are you okay?" Azrael asked me. I nodded my head yes.
"I say we check out Newark, Trenton, Camden, and Atlantic City, they seem more likely they will hold her at." Sadrine said. "They like to be around a lot of people and they are populated."
"I agree with Sadrine," Azrael piped up, taking his hand.
"Alright," I spread my wings, and pushed off the ground. "Come on, that's not going to be the only places we're checking."
Four in the Morning
We are currently searching in Montreal, Canada. We haven't find Londan just yet, all the other groups reported that she wasn't where they are currently stationed or anywhere else, which I hope Londan is in Canada. We were looking at a abandon hotel, the others were saying that they wouldn't be a abandon hotel because they would want to be in luxury. I beg to differ; this seems like a likely place, we wouldn't expect them to be in such a rinky dink place like this. They were moving out, but I just stared at the building, hell even Azrael didn't believe me that they would be there. I admit that hurt, but I don't expect my sister to agree with everything I say, but I do expect her to have my back and at least check it out.
I moved closer to the hotel and started examining the ground for black puddles that belong to the shade walkers. As I moved closer, I saw large black puddles with some droplets, like they were pacing, most likely guarding. I walked up the sixteen stairs, and pressed my ear to the door, I didn't hear anything. I unsheathed my sword, and pulled on the door opened, it creaked a little. I only opened it enough so I be able to slip in and won't make that much noise with opening the door opened wide open.
There were a lot of black puddles over the main lobby, but there was no sign of life or the shade walkers. I continued my way in the lobby, I checked behind the desk, and then I walked further behind the desk and walked straight into a cob web. It got caught in my wings, and I shook it off, but it still feel like it was still on me, I checked my wings, they were fine. I continued my way back, and didn't see anything, just black puddles. I saw a door, I pulled it open, it looks like it leads to a cellar, and I checked my belt for a small flashlight. I grabbed the tiny flashlight, and pressed the button on top, it was only a small light, but that was fine with, I don't need a big light. I descended the stairs quietly, sometimes stopping if I hear a noise and continued my way down once I checked it out.
I made to the bottom of cellar, I turned right from the stairs and continued to go straight with a few curves here and there, but I didn't see anything. I got to a dead end, I turned my flashlight to the left of me, and saw I make shift large cage. I examined and concluded that Londan was here, her dagger laid in the middle of the cage. I was just about to go in to retrieve it, but I thought better of it, it may be a trap. Though I should go in to retrieve it, so I can show them that she was here. I backed slowly into the cage, bent down and grabbed the dagger. Once I stood up straight I was looking into the eyes of one of the princes. He looked confused and frustrated.
"Where is she?" He growled out.
"What do you mean?" I clenched the dagger tightly into my fist. "I should be asking you the same thing. Where is she?"
"I came here to sneak her out," he growled. He really needs to stop growling it's really irritating. "Where did you take her?"
"One I don't have her, I just got here. Two, if I did have her why will I tell you where she is."
"Maybe because I'm actually good, and I want to save my mother Dark Angel."
"Now you don't expect me to believe that do you?" I questioned him.
He frowned, then cocked his head to the side, "You have to get out of here, my brothers are coming, they will take you for a prisoner and most likely kill you since she's not here. Follow me."
I don't know why I listened to him for, but I followed him anyways. He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me closer to him, oh wow. The sensation felt a little weird, like my ears feels like it's about to pop. When I moved my face from his chest, my face was burning, we were away from the hotel.
"Your group is around the corner looking for you," he told me. "If you don't have my mother, and we don't have her, someone else have her. I don't mean you any disrespect –"
"Raziel," I told him my name.
He smiled, "Raziel, maybe one of your Dark Angels took her, I'm just saying. I can we contact each other if we find any information about my mother's whereabouts."
"I do not trust you –"
"Prince Zophshik," he volunteered his name. "Understandably, I can prove that you can trust me. " He grabbed my hand, "Close your eyes, it won't take long, just a few seconds."
Again I don't know why I listened to him. I saw flashes of him trying to stop his brothers and him being punished for trying to stop them. I opened my eyes, "How do I know if this is true events?"
"They are," he insisted. "I can prove more to you, I have sent to you, but you should really go, you don't want your group to see you with me."
"Thanks for saving me," I said, as I watched him walk away.
"It's nothing," he smiled back at me. "I prove to you and the Dark Angels that I am on your side."
I nodded my head okay, some part of me wants to really believe what he says, I don't know why I care so much. I jogged around the corner and saw my group, I whistled.
They turned around, and ran to me. "Where have you been Raziel? We've been looking for you," Azrael said to me, bringing me into a hug.
"I went inside the hotel," I showed them Londan's dagger. "I told you she had to be there, but she's not there no more, no one was there. It's the princes' headquarters, or it was their headquarters."
"Sorry we didn't believe you," Azrael spoke into my hair. "I could have lost you Bambi."
"I'm fine Thumper," she giggled. "I have something really important to tell you in private."
She nodded her head okay, "Later, once we have gotten some sleep, I'm sleeping with you tonight."
"Alright," I hugged her tightly.
A/N: Sorry for the long update, I still have writers block, I'm trying to make the story be longer, and my ending may be different than I planned. I hope you guys like it. Do you guys have any ideas who the traitor is? No it's not Azrael. This may not be a Raziel/Percy, Percy won't be with Annabeth if I do decided not to pair him with Raziel.
