I didn't want to do it. I didn't have a lot of my power back. But I had no choice. I was going to die. I went into the blackness. Just in time too. I was about a yard above the ground. I didn't know where to go. I thought that Chloe should get some punishment for almost killing me. But I stood in the blackness. Feeling my wounds re-heal. I came out and pictured Chloe. I tumbled into her because I came out a foot away and still had my momentum.
"Thanks for saving me, Chloe." I said. I stumbled to my feet.
"I tried." Chloe retorted.
"You tried. You tried!" I spat, "I almost died thanks to you. You were supposed to stop me. Now I had to use some of my already fading energy to not die."
"Not all of us are as powerful as you." She yelled back but then covered her mouth quick.
"What?" I asked confused. Power? What was she talking about.
"You idiot." Stryker yelled at her, "We were told never to tell her."
" I didn't mean it. She got me mad." She protested.
"The Lord specifically said he would tell her." He told her back.
"Well last I remember is the Lord was trying to take her power." Chloe pointed out.
"Are you talking about the guy we met?" I asked uncertainly.
"Stop talking." They yelled at me. Geez. Their conversation is about me so I deserve to know.
"You do know that he is going to kill you right?" Stryker asked Chloe.
"I know. I spent a week with the guy. I should know." She replied.
"You think you spent a lot of time with him. I had to share a room with the guy. And he really likes black. I a lot." He complained.
"Could I ask who you are talking about?" Blondie asked. She was standing there next to Jackson.
"The Lord." I told her. Stryker stared at me in shock.
"Who is that?" Blondie asked.
"I don't even know what you guys are talking about? Chloe, you can lift people into mid air." I yelled at them, "And Stryker. You can practically control people with those eyes of yours. Don't talk about me like I'm not here or I swear I will kill all of you." I ended it screaming.
I glared daggers at them. Annabeth looked about to faint. I saw Chloe and Stryker take a step back. Then two. Then go on a full on backwards run. I felt the world go black. The sun was covered up. There were no stars or moon. I felt myself becoming more powerful. My power coming right back to me.
Chloe P.O.V.
Gail had turned scary. Her eyes were fully black. No white in them at all. There was no light in the earth but we could see. She was screaming at us. Her hair had turned into what looked like black fire. She looked really scary. It was blackest around her.
"Gail?" I asked cautiously.
"This is all your fault." Stryker muttered to me.
"Shut up." I told him.
"The lord told us this would happen." Stryker muttered.
"I thought I told you to shut up." I told him again.'
"Why don't you shut up, Chloe? Or if you won't, tell me what you were talking about." Gail screamed at us. Her hair flared up.
"Calm down Gail." I tried to say.
"Don't tell me to calm down-" She screamed but was cut off by her collapsing to the ground with Percy behind her with wide eyes. He had a sword in one hand. Jackson stumbled backwards dropping the sword. I walked forward. The darkness was lifted slowly. I saw a bright light and looked away.
"Lord Zeus." Jackson said kneeling. I followed his lead along with everyone else.
Rise." Everyone stood back on their feet. The guy looked old with a suit on. It looked expensive, then again he was king of the gods. I held tightly to Stryker's wrist and I could feel his fear.
"We need to go. Like now." I whispered to him while the guy talked to Jackson. Zeus looked around.
"So where are the three. Oh here's one here." Zeus exclaimed seeing Gail. I saw her slightly open her eyes. Zeus kicked her side and she winced. I saw her glare at him but he wasn't looking. She stayed completely still. I nudged Stryker and pointed to Gail. He saw and his eyes widened. Zeus kicked her again and she glared daggers at him. Oh, he is in so much trouble.
"Get ready." I whispered to Stryker. He was about to ask but before he could Gail jumped up and ran. Zeus was too disoriented to do anything. She disappeared then reappeared right in front of us grabbing our wrists and we were sucked into blackness.
"Get back here brats." I could hear Zeus yell at us before all sound went away. I couldn't see thing. We stopped. I guess you could stop in the black.
"I am going to kill you." Gail yelled at me in the dark. I could barely comprehend Gail suddenly dropping to her knees. She was behind us.
"So nice of you to come." I heard a voice cackle. It was Lord Tartarus. Me and Stryker froze and turned around. He was holding Gail's wrist in a way it should never be. I could see her holding back a scream.
'GO!' She mouthed. I saw her use her wrist in a flicking motion and next thing I knew I was above ground. In a park.
"We just left Gail." Stryker voiced my thoughts.
