Chapter 14 – I see war

Sarah POV

I told Annie and Grover and we walked to the place where he fell, he came out a minute later, he was dry, way to blow your cover, he told us all about what happened, but what got me confused is the gift's, we didn't have any gift's except...Luke and Daniel! Noo Daniel wouldn't, I mean he is one of the reasons why I hate men, but still he wouldn't.

Luke on the other hand might... No I won't think that, Annie would literally hate me, but given the history, Luke hate's his dad, Thalia is... well gone and the hellhound, he didn't seem to be anywhere, he worked Percy to the bone. I still don't have enough information. Anyway, we got out of the place before people could get suspicious.

I decided we need to get a bit of information, "We need to contact camp, and we need to know how bad things are going."

Annie nodded, "Good plan,"

"We can't use phones right?" Percy asked,

I rolled my head, "No we can't, if we do its basically sending a signal saying, eat me here! I want to die!"

"So how?" Percy asked, I forgot he was new at this.

I sighed, "Annie explain, I am gonna get some drachma from my bag." I still had a bit of water, food, lots of money! And drachma! I Argh! Why did I leave my other drachma's at home? I only have a couple left. I gave it to Annie and she summoned the Goddess. Just then, we heard some hip hop music blazing maximum, it was blasting my eardrum!

"I'll be right back..." I gritted my teeth and walked closer to the car, I heard Annie and Grover coming, I knocked on the window and said, "Can you please turn it off?"

"Yeah right, it- oh look my best song, turn it up higher," he said,

I was impatient for sure, I grabbed my knife and put it against his neck, "Listen here punk! I have had a long day so if you don't turn that piece of crap off then move; I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL LITERALLY KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS! GOT IT?" I shouted and cut a bit off his skin,

Just then I heard a car squeak and saw that the car was already off and I put my knife back in place and straightened myself. I looked at Grover and Annie and they looked at me awkwardly.

"WHAT!" I was getting a bit annoyed at the moment,

"Nothing!" They both squeaked, "Let's go back,"

I nodded and went back; I heard everyone's stomachs growl and suggested we stop to eat,

"Sure, why not?" Annie said,

I saw a diner and we went in and sat down, a waitress came by and said, "What would you like?"

I answered, "I would like a coke and fries and a chocolate shake." We all ordered and suddenly the air got intense all of a sudden, I wanted to hit someone, who would want a fight so badly, Ares. Just then, a man came in. He looked murderous. The waitress came back with our food and I just ate while Annie explained to Percy who this is.

"Why don't I turn you into a prairie dog and run you over with my Harley? Because I don't feel like it." Ares said,

"Or maybe your scared Poseidon will turn you into an animal and run you over with some of his horses." I smirked, or I will hunt you down and kill you myself!

Ares eye's flashed over to me, "Listen kid, I don't know who you are," I almost rolled my eyes, obviously, "But it you don't keep your mouth shut I'l-"

I cut him off, "I'll what? Your only here when you want something done, so tell us and we will decide, Gods no need to go onto that long boring conversation," I sat down.

"Annoying aren't you?" Ares seethed, "Anyway I'll get to the point,"

He explained what need's doing and I thought about it, why would he need us doing this? He's a god, he could get it unless... it's a trap or something a god built for him. It's more likely the second one; he would find the lightning bolt more than set a trap for us.

"So who's the God?" I asked, I wanted to see his reaction; most of them looked confused,

He looked surprised, "What do you mean?"

I smiled, "Nothing, carry on."

"There's nothing else, I'll let you get onto it punk." He left and so was that war air thing.

"What was that about?" Annie asked,

I sighed, "Think about it? Why would a God? Ares himself need help from us unless it's a trap, or someone set a trap for him so he can't get it!"

"I never thought about that, your always one step ahead of me," Annie muttered, "Why couldn't you be a child of Athena? Your so smart and yet your brothers with Percy."

I chuckled, "Let's go." We walked and Annie 'borrowed' some clothes to wear, so did the others, anyway we walked in and Percy told Grover to stay back and Annie to come in. There was a big fuss about it and I shouted,

"SHUT UP! JUST PICK ONE! ITS NOT GONNA KILL YOU TO WORK TOGETHER!" I was getting a bit annoyed with their arguing, I wonder what it's like with Poseidon and Athena. Must get annoying.

"I'll wait on the other side." I went to the other side and started to wait, I turned around and saw a fountain,

"Huh, it won't hurt anyone," I thought,

I took out a drachma and said, "Oh Goddess please accept my offering," I tossed the coin into the fountain and it vanished,

"Show me Terra and Raven." I asked, there they were, and guess what they were doing, they were playing basketball, what the Hades?

"Terra, Raven," I whispered, I didn't want to get caught, still couldn't hear me because of the banging,

"Terra, Raven," I said in a normal voice, I looked behind me and saw no-one, I took a deep breath and yelled,

"TERRA, RAVEN, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE LONG ENOUGH!" Terra squeaked when she tried to throw the ball at Raven and it hit her head,

"Oww!" Raven rubbed her head; she turned to me, "Why do I always get things broken? First the chess game and now this!" She pointed to her head, "You owe me...£20 + 5 drachmas."

"Whatever, anything new?" I needed to know. Percy might be in danger.

Terra and Raven sighed, not a good sign, "Someone tried to contact him, couldn't trace him though, he was too quick."

I sighed, "Alright keep your eyes open and make sure you're on alert,"

"Got it." They both nodded,

"Bye an-" Just then a crash was heard, the connection faded, I saw Annie and Percy there and was about to fall, I saw the pool and used my powers to grab hold of them 2. I landed them neatly on their feet and said,

"What happened?" I asked and suddenly the air got tense, "In fact, don't answer that, I want to get it from the person who sent us this," I turn to Ares and asked what he was planning,

"Well it was simple punk," He said, he explained it to me and I was on the verge of yelling and at his last sentence I snapped,

"WHAT THE HADES DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING," I roared, "THAT WAS A TRAP FOR GODS! THERE DEMIGODS, WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I SWEAR I WILL LITERALLY..." I left that threat hanging.

"Whatever kid, here, you can use it as a ride. And Percy a helpful tip for you, your mum's alive." With that he left,

"Good riddance," I said and went in, I looked and saw bags, just then words came into my head,

"Do not trust the gifts," I looked at it wearily and walked towards it, I opened it and... Nothing. I sat down and looked at the sky. What was he thinking?

Finished!
