Chapter Twenty-Four
Night POV
I woke up with a start, jerking myself out of the recurring nightmare I have been having for days now. Looking around my room to make sure I was really wake I saw a piece of sealed paper on the pillow next to my head.
Sighing, I hesitated before grabbing it and breaking the seal and opening the letter I knew was from my Father.
My Love,
Im sorry for interrupting your day but I have an important mission for you and only you! I have intel that tells me that Percy is boarding a plan that will leave later today. I want you to watch over him and protect the plane, you know how Zeus gets.
Love, Your Father
I released my breath in a rush, not realizing that I was holding it. Getting up I forced myself to take a shower and get dressed and prepared, because if I didn't start getting ready I would've shut down.
Taking a deep breath before opening the door I walking into the common room and stopped in front of my door. Clearing my throat to get everyone's attention I began talking, "Good morning everyone."
A chorus of "Good Morning Night"s was heard except, of course, from Ben who said "Good Morning M'Lady."
Rolling my eyes at Ben I continued, "I have important news but first I want us to al have breakfast together."
Not giving any of them time to object I pivoted on my heel and stalked out of my room, leading them towards the kitchen. I smirked slightly as I listened to them all get up and follow me obediently.
Taking a sharp right the instant I stepped out of the common room then another right I lead my Knights up two fights of stairs. When we all got to the top of the stairs I took another sharp turn, a left this time and stopped in front of an old fashioned door.
Pushing open the door, palm flat on the door due to there being no knob, I walked into the humongous kitchen. Walking around the island that took up enough space to hold 12 people I said, "Everyone take a seat."
Walking over to the refrigerator I pulled out milk, eggs, and bacon. Then I moved onto one of the many cabinets that hold every food you could ever want or imagine and pulled out flour, oil, baking soda, and chocolate chips.
Next I took out a pan, bowl, and whisk, and turned on the stove putting the pan on and spraying Pam onto it. Putting all my ingredients into my bowl I started to mix i them together until the batter is smooth.
Taking out another pan I, again, turned on the stove and sprayed Pam on it. I then opened the packet of bacon up and started to separate them, getting ready to put them in the pan.
I was about to start putting the batter into the pan when Lacey's voice piped up, "Night do you want help cooking the bacon?"
I turned around and gave a small smile to her, "Yes thanks Lacey, if you don't mind would you also crack and beat the eggs?"
"Of course Night anything to help." She replied as she got to work.
Giving her another smile I got to work making the pancakes, cooking them all a golden brown color. After stacking the pancakes into two different piles, chocolate chip and plain, I put them in the middle of the island.
Going back to the stove I helped Lacey with the last of the bacon, put it and the eggs on separate plates and put them on the island also. Looking at Hunter and Archer I asked, "Guys would you mind getting plates and silverware fore everyone?"
"No problem Night." Hunter replied with a wide grin then bounced off with her brother being dragged by his wrist.
After helping them pass out plate, forks, and knives we al sat down and started eating. Well Julianna, Lacey, Hunter, Ben, and I started eating, the others seemed to attack there food viciously.
Smirking into my food we all ate in relative silence until after 10 minutes I finally started talking, "Okay everyone I have an announcement!"
Instantly everyone paused in their eating, Mason even had a fork halfway in his mouth, "I am going on a mission," Chris opened his mouth, "Alone," Giving Chris and everyone a pointed glare I continued.
"I am going on a mission alone today, I will be leaving in a couple minutes. You all have the day off so have fun, but be careful and at least try to do something semi useful."
I was again about to continue but Lacey's had shot straight up, "Yes Lacey?" I asked with a small sigh.
A small blush graced Lacey's cheeks, "I was wondering if I could use the forging room?"
"Oh Lacey of course you can! I know I promised you you could but we have been so busy and I am sorry." I reply with an apologetic look.
"Its ok Night I just had this idea and it has kinda been driving me crazy." Lacey ends with another blush.
"Ok...now if we are done with the interruptions," Raising me eyebrows I looked at Mason and gave him a look, "Then back to my mission, I will be leaving in a few and afterwards we will all be going on a mission."
Cheers cut me off making me glare at my Knights which made them all clamp their mouths shut and stared at me with wide eyes.
"Good now I expect all of this cleaned up and I want no trouble when I get back ok?"
"Yes Night" Was said back, of course with the exception of Ben.
"See you soon then." With that I swiftly stood up and started making my way towards the Entryway.
Like always there was no sound in the hallways, except this time there was the thud of my combat boots hitting the black, shiny floor. Finally making it to the Entryway after endless twists and turns.
Taking a deep breathe I opened the door and jumped through, closing my eyes as I fell. Grunting softly as I landed I straightened up, took a look around, and shadow traveled to Percy.
PERCY JACKSON PERCY JACKSON PERCY JACKSON I DONT HAVE A OBSESSION
Landing in the private air way that will be taking Percy, Frank, and Hazel to Alaska I quickly took cover as I saw Percy driving like a maniac as Laistrygonians chased them. Heaving a sigh I started to take out giants and their cannonballs alike.
I quickly followed Percy and the others onto the plane, redirecting the two flaming cannonballs that were aimed at Frank Zhang as he was getting on the plane. Keeping my head down I jumped onto the plane as the door was being closed.
Using a trick I have been perfecting for weeks now I used the water molecules in the air to hid me from any eyes like a glamour. Slinking into the plane I took a seat close to the questers so I could hear what they were saying.
Percy-my Percy-was telling them about the memories he is getting back also about the Greek camp, "There's another camp-Camp Half-Blood."
My breath caught for a second at the sound of his voice, Gods fucking damn it focus Night! Givingmymy head a little shake I tuned back into their conversation all the while making sure to keep the plane ride smooth.
The daughter of Pluto was talking "...If Octavian found out-"
Frank interrupted her, "He'd declare war."
Ugh Octavian I have to make sure he dies soon, I thought as I rolled my eyes and sneer. Turning back to the three's conversation I listened as Frank finished speaking and Percy started explaining why he was there.
"Your friend Jason-I think he was sent to my camp. In my dreams, I saw a demigod that might have been him."
Good job Perce, I smiled at him even though he couldn't see me and steadied the plane as it hit some turbulence.
"But, jeez-Greeks and Romans have a long history of bad blood."
Why thank you Frank Zhang for stating the obvious problem here.
"That's probably why the gods have kept us apart this long."
Again with the fucking obvious observations, this is why you guy need my Knights help, you can't find out the most obvious clues we send you. Do you get the whole plan now?
I saw Percy nod as he said, "I mean, I trust you guys. I hope you trust me. I feel...well, I feel as close to you as to any of my old friends at Camp Half-Blood. But with the other demigods, at both camps-there's going to be a lot of suspicion."
Well at least Percy is starting to ge-HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE!
I watched as Hazel retracted her lips from Percy's cheek and my vision slowly turned red while I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Giving myself a good mental slap as the plane shook a little I started concentrating again.
Sighing at myself I sat back and tried to relax minutely, getting ready to hold the plan steady until Alaska.
TIME SKIP TO THE END OF THE FLIGHT TIME SKIP COMING THROUGH
Sighing in relieve as the plane landed I gave Percy another long look taking him all in. Then I quickly stalked off the plane and shadow travelled to the warehouse so I could get my Knights.
Swiftly walking out of the shadows I ran up the stairs to the second level before jumping straight into the giant window. Landing in the Entryway I practically ran towards our wing of the castle.
Barging (gracefully) into the common room I saw that everyone was their doing their own thing. Except Mason and Julianna who looked like they were two seconds away from doing each other.
Everyone but Mason and Julianna turned to look at me as I began to talk, "Okay everyone! We have to hurry, hurry, hurry! Go! Go get your armor on! We have to make it to Tantalus before Percy, Frank, and Hazel!"
All of them were in their rooms and changing before I even finished my little word vomit. Then they were all out and ready before I could even think about sitting down while I was waiting for them.
Staring at them for a second before I snapped out of my stupor and turned right around and made my way to the Entryway. Not pausing as I got to the door I opened it and jumped through, quickly followed by my armored Knights.
Landing on the second floor of the warehouse I waited as all my Knights landed and formed a semi circle in front of me.
Smirking at them I held out my hand and said, "Well? Who's ready to go to Alaska?"
The last thing I heard before we shadow travelled out was my Knights joyous laughter. Laughing myself as we all stumbled out of the glaciers shadow I straightened up, "Okay, Okay now you guys wait her until they come and I will make sure they are safe."
They all nodded back seriously except for Mason who was bobbing his head up and down so fast I thought he was going to get whiplash and also smiling widely. Giving them my own nod I jumped back into the shadows and landed on Percy's train.
Willing my armor and noticeable weapons away I swaggered into his compartment and up the stairs to the top of the double decker and sat in a seat relatively close to Percy and the others.
Seeing Percy all choked up almost made me blow my cover by making me want to start hugging him and run my hands through his messy, raven black hair. Sighing I leaned back and almost didn't notice when the Gryphon took Percy.
Glamouring myself I jumped out of the crashing train and commanded the air currents to hold me and and push me towards Percy who was dangling in the Gryphons talons. I watched as one of Franks arrows pierced the Gryphons neck and Percy dropped.
Choking on a gasp I quickly raced after Percy and tried to soften his fall, though I couldn't do anything about the pine tree. Biting my lip I sighed in relief as Percy got up and started fighting the Gryphons with Hazel and Frank.
Taking out my crossbow I sneakily helped out, taking out gryphons that any of them injured but didn't kill. Following them as they ran towards a Hyperborean giant I tried my hardest to make sure the giant didn't sit on the idiot son of Poseidon.
I then followed them as they trekked across the land before arriving at a gas station where they took a rest, well Percy and Frank rested Hazel promptly passed out. Letting out a big sigh I too fell asleep leaning against a tree.
I woke up a little before the gas station opened at watched as Percy explained they were apart of the train wreck and them get breakfast. I watched slightly hungrily but it was okay, I was taught how to survive days on end without food.
Huffing at Percy and the two Romans as they got into the mans truck I an besides it, out of site. We finally stopped a few miles out of Seward, or I stopped and their truck broke down.
I saw the muskeg at the same time as Hazel, quickly wrapping my whip around a tree and holding it I jumped after Percy, glamoured, seconds before Hazel. Creating an air bubble around my head I grabbed Percy, knocked him out and did the same.
Putting my mouth next to his ear I started whispering to him, "It's okay, it's gunna be okay Perce. I got you, I got you my Percy. You, and everyone else, will be okay."
Having my whip curl around my arm I pulled myself and Percy up to Hazel, who seemed to be in some kind of trance. Shaking Percy into awareness I let go of him and made sure Percy was gripping Hazel's ankles before pulling myself to safety.
Percy POV
I heard Hazel's warning to late as I was sucked into the earth with my next step. Panicking. I was panicking. I thrashed around and tried to claw myself out, before realizing that it wouldn't help so I stopped and hoped that I will be saved.
I felt a body next to mine before I was hit on the head, hard enough to knock me unconscious. I was aware enough to hear the husky female voice telling me it would be okay.
"It's okay, it's gunna be okay Perce. I got you. I got you my Percy. You, and everyone else, will be okay."
I liked the voice, I wanted to hear more, I wanted to see the girl who it belonged to. But the next thing I knew I was gripping Hazel's ankles and we were being pulled out of the sink hole by Frank.
Night POV
The next couple of hours were a blur, I got back to my Knights before the questers got here. We watched as Frank started break Thanatos's chains with his firewood. We watched as Percy and Hazel fought the dead Roman demigods.
We were able to help a little with fighting the Roman soldiers but we all had to be extra careful that they didn't target us. Then we followed The demigods and the giant, Alcyoneus, out of Alaska.
We all watched as Frank Zhang beat up the giant as an elephant, "Why an elephant?", we all ignored Mason. Then we watched as Frank and Hazel road on the horse Arion back to Percy then to make their way to New Rome.
"Good job guys." Was all I said to my Knights as the two Romans road off (into the sunset)
"Thanks" They all said really casually.
"Yea, now we just gotta get to New Rome and help them out with the army and Polybotes." I said to them, giving them a tiny smirk.
Several groans were heard and I smiled apologetically, "Sorry guys we gotta help the Fourth Cohort."
I heard a couple of sighs along with some "Fine"s and one "Yes M'Lady"
"Leaving so soon?" A deep voice called from behind me.
My Knights all drew their weapons and spun around but I signaled them to put there weapons down, "Yes Death, we must go help the Roman demigods." I said as I turned around and put my hands on my hips.
"That is truly too bad, I wanted to catch up with you, my Knight." He replied with a smirk on his beautiful face as his wings flared slightly.
"Aren't you supposed to be at New Rome also?" I ask him as my eyes roam his barely clothed form.
"Yes but like I said I wanted to see you, I barely saw you at all on the glacier." He said with a small pout that made Julianna and Lacey let out a dreamy sigh.
"That was the idea Thanatos." I say with my own smirk firmly in place, "Now if we are done my Knights and I really must get going."
"Of course, I will see you at the battle field." His wings stretched out and he was about to leave when he called out, "Oh yea and Night?"
"Yes?" I ask with slight impatience.
"Call me." Death says after he looks me up and down and licks his lips. With that he takes flight and is soon out of my sight.
"Holy shit." Exclaims Julianna from behind me.
"Yea" Is all I say before getting to business, "Okay lets go!"
Then we shadow travel away to New Rome just as Percy uses the Eagle to destroy the giants center line, "Alright now, I want three of you-Hunter, James, and Julianna-helping the elephant."
I help up my hand, "Please no arguments, now I want Archer, Lacey, and Ben helping the Lares on the eastern flank. So that means Chris, Mason, and I will be helping the Fourth Cohort. Move out!"
We all separated and started covertly helping the demigods by killing Cyclopes, gorgons, and any other monster we could kill. After a few minutes the Amazons came and started helping the demigods.
I gave Queen Hylla a small smirk and winked at her before disappearing once again into battle. As the battle subsided my Knights and I stayed in the back of the circle that was surrounding Polybotes and Percy.
But we all soon dispersed as the Bane of the Sea God shook hid head and basilisks flew out of his hair, "That is disgusting!" Julianna, Mason, Hunter, Ben, and I muttered while the others nodded in agreement.
"Come on guys lets go, we are done here." I say, slinging my arm around Chris.
"Thank the gods! Im exhausted! How can these demigods do this!" Exclaims Mason dramatically as he hangs himself over Julianna.
"That's why we are here, Mason. This is why I brought us all together." I say to all of them, "Now lets travel back I could use a good bath, I have monster dust fucking everywhere."
Yo! I hope you liked it! Hopefully I will get the next chapter up soon! Oh and if you guys want to help me out and tell me where you want Night helping out please either include it in your review or PM me.
