Me: No Percy, you sit WAY over there. Away from them. *Percy walks and sits in his chair*
Daniel: What's wrong with him?
Tatiana: Nothing sweety, just ignore him.
Me: I don't own PJO! But on with the story! *Percy tries to stand* Percy...*Percy sits back down* Thank you.
Percy's POV
"What are you doing here, Annabeth?" I asked, trying to make my voice as cold as ice.
"I-I wanted to talk to you." Annabeth said.
"Why not on C-1? Did you not think about the great possibility we might have been going somewhere dangerous?"
"I can take care of myself."
"Not where we go, Annabeth. We go places so dangerous we were the first to go there."
"Hey Percy, come here." Lucian said.
"What?"
"The wedding's over."
"Really?" I walked back to the window and looked through it. Lucian was right. Tatiana and Daniel were about to leave. A limo was just arriving at the front of the building.
"Come on." I said and we walked around the corner to where Tati and Daniel stood outside the building.
"This is gonna be so much funny, Dan!" Tati squealed and kissed Daniel. I felt sick when I saw that.
"I know Tati. We have to hurry if we wanna make it on time."
"What about J?"
"She's gonna meet us there. Don't worry honey. Everything's gonna be fine." Daniel yet again kissed my girlfriend and they climbed into the limo. I stared at the limo's retreating figure until it was out of sight.
"So what now?" Lucian asked.
"How about one of you kill those things!" Annabeth said and pointed down the road. I followed her gaze and saw two Wendigos.
"I get the left, you get the right." I said and Lucian nodded. I turned Riptide into a sword only this time I tapped it three times. Riptide's blade that used to be Celestial Bronze was now Imperial Gold.
"What's that?" Annabeth asked.
"Imperial Gold. IG and IS are the only things that'll kill those things." Lucian said and pressed the golden button on his watch. In a split second his watch turned into an Imperial Gold sword.
"Annabeth. Don't try to help and just stay out of their way. All those things want is blood." The Wendigos were getting closer. Lucian and I charged. The Wendigo I was supposed to fight lunged at me. I dodged.
"So you got bit." I said. It was more of a statement than a question, because Wendigos can't talk. Another lunge and I dodged.
"To close." I muttered as the thing almost got my free hand. "And here I thought you only ate hearts."
I wonder...I thought as I got an idea. I concentrated as I got ready to try one of the tricks Tati had taught me. I snapped my fingers and my Wendigo froze.
"Percy." I heard a whisper.
Gods, I must be loosing it. I thought and walked over to the Wendigo.
"Adios ." I said and stabbed the Wendigo where it's heart should be, but it has none. The Wendigo turned into vapor and I walked away, heading towards Annabeth.
"You almost done Lucian?" I asked as I reached her and helped her up from where she sat.
"Yeah." With one last stab his Wendigo dissolved and he walked over to us.
"Well It's getting late." Lucian said as he stuck his hands in his pocket. He was right. The sun was already going down.
"It's a long walk to the jet." I said. He grinned.
"Plan L?" I nodded. "Awesome! I think there's one in that ally down there." He pointed at an ally down on the other side of the street.
"Come on Annie. We have a surprise." I smirked at Annabeth who scowled when I said Annie.
Lucian and I started heading down the street and Annabeth followed.
"Why are we in an ally?" Annabeth asked as we walked into the ally.
"You'll see." I started to look around. "Do you see anything Lucian?"
"No...Wait! I found it! Hurry up and touch it, Percy." Lucian said as I walked over. I found the faint blue delta and a piece of the wall the size of a door disappeared.
"T-that is not the-" I cut Annabeth off.
"The Labyrinth? Yes, it is the Labyrinth. The very same one we went in what six, seven years ago?" I said.
"How?"
"All it needed was a new life force and it found one, somewhere."
"Some thing's coming, Percy. If we don't leave now, that something might get us." Lucian said. He was near the door and seemed to be using one of the gifts Chaos gave us when we joined it.
"Come on, Annie. You know what? I'm gonna call you Annie from now on." I said and started walking into the entrance.
"Um as I recall none of us are mortal, so you just lead us to certain death." Annabeth said when the entrance closed.
"Wrong Annie. Lucian is a mortal, plus everyone on our forces can navigate through the Labyrinth. There is no need for us to worry, but the S.E still affects you so don't wonder off."
"Oh." We kept walking until the tunnel we were in split into two tunnels. I saw the right way to go but I stopped.
"Uh Percy? It's this way, let's go." Lucian said as he stopped in front of the left tunnel.
"Listen, Lucian. Someone's coming from down there and it's not a monster." I said as I stepped in front of the right tunnel. I could hear a female voice humming, and it was heading strait for us. After a few seconds you could hear the soft click of heel.
"You think it's one of our forces?" Lucian asked.
"There's only one way to find out." I said as I pulled out my pair of sunglasses. But before I could put them on a voice was heard.
"Percy?" It was Del.
"Hey Del. You almost done with your mission?"
"Yeah. I just have one murder left."
"Good, we'll see you later."
"Bye, Percy." Del said and headed down the way we just came from.
"On word!" Lucian said and started down the left tunnel. I chuckled as I shook my head. Annabeth followed and I followed her.
********************AT BASE*******************
I walked into my room without even bothering to turn on the lights. I kicked off my shoes and laid down. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out.
Unfortunately I didn't have a dreamless sleep.
I felt like I wasn't touching the ground. And I wasn't. I looked around and it looked like I was on a platform, but...I was in the air. I was surrounded by the blue sky and the clouds.
*"These wounds won't seem to heal. This pain is just to real. There's just to much that time cannot erase." I whirled around and found Tatiana laying on the very edge of the platform, singing.
"Tati." I whispered. I tried to move towards her but the platform moved. It moved forward, and if I moved to much Tatiana might fall.
"Tati, move away from there! You might fall!"
"Didn't they tell you? I've already fallen, so has Jade. He says we're waiting for one more. We need the power of three not just two." Tatiana said.
"Get away from there!"
"I've already fallen Percy." Tatiana said and she slipped of the edge of the platform
"No!" I yelled and ran to were she fell. The platform didn't move. I looked over the edge and saw Tatiana falling, but I couldn't see the ground.
*"No one's here and I fall into myself." Tatiana's voice sang in my head over and over again as she fell.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I made sure I was in my room. I let out a sigh.
Haven't had a dream like that since, that time. I thought. But something Tati said still bothered me.
"He said we're waiting for one more. We need the power of three not just two." She said. One more what? Who are the three?
I checked my bedside clock. 6:55. I sighed.
I might as well get out of bed and get dressed. I thought and got up.
***********LATER**********
"Percy!" I heard Lucian's voice behind me. I stopped and turned around.
"What?" I said when he reached me.
"Chaos has something he wants you to see." I nodded.
"Lead the way."
At Chaos' office it was only me, Lucian, Sarah, Lilith, Zeth, and of course Chaos.
"Lord Chaos." I bowed, then walked over to my seat between Sarah and Lucian.
"I have called you all here, because I have something you must see." Chaos waved his hand and a screen appeared in front of the table. The same man that took Jade's communicator appeared.
"Hello, Chaos and company. I am sending this as an invitation. I'd like to have a word with you, Chaos and your five best fighters. Make sure to bring Jackson and Lucian. I have a surprise for them." At that part Chaos made the screen disappear.
"I want you all to be ready to go by two o'clock. I want each of you to be armed and ready in case this is a trap. Each of you will take your own jet. I will announce where we are going at the meeting point, which is the take off area where the jets are at. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Chaos." Everyone said.
"Good. I'll see you all at he meeting point at two o'clock sharp. Meeting dismissed." With that last thought Chaos disappeared in a flash of black.
"I really don't like their kind of surprises." Lucian said.
"Neither do I. It can't be good."
I hope you girls are okay...where ever you are. I thought as I headed home to get my stuff.
*Guess the songs and you'll get a preview of a future chapter.
