Sam POV:
After hanging out a little longer at Percy's house, we hit the streets. There was a street fair going on down Columbus avenue, so, being with Kara, we were all dragged into to it for some "quick shopping" but we all knew that Kara's "quick" was about an hour too slow. It was a nice day and the sun was shining, so I didn't mind too much as she pulled us through the crowded fair. Plus, the smell of the food was to die for.
"Sam, Sam! Look at this!" Kara cried excitedly. "They have little voodoo dolls. You should get one for Nico."
"Haha very funny." He grumbled.
"Hey, look." Annabeth pointed over to another stand. "They're dipping fruit and marshmallows into chocolate."
"Come on Nico, let's go get some." I grabbed his hand and pulled him with me.
The rest of the afternoon went something like that with me eating, Kara shopping, Percy and Annabeth pointing out stuff and Nico moaning. As we walked away from the fair, Percy's phone rang.
"Hello?" he asked once he answered it. "Hey, what's up?...Wait, who?...Now?...how many are there?...How long do we have?...ok, we'll be right there." He snapped the phone shut quickly and then turned to us. "Kronos and his army are coming."
"Now?" My eyes went wide.
"Right now." He shoved the phone in his pocket. "We have about an hour to get back and get ready."
"How do you know it's not a hoax?" Nico asked. "It may be a Stoll brother prank."
"Chiron just called." Percy's eyes were hard. "It's not a joke."
"How do they know what's happening?" I asked.
"They have a secret spy in the camp that even I don't know about." Percy said. "Chiron said you would never suspect was on our side."
"Let's not stand around and talk." Kara started walking back in the direction of the van. "Let's go."
Mo POV: A little earlier…
Apparently they didn't find it necessary to kill me immediately, oh no, that would be too nice. They felt it easier to torture me first by not killing me quickly. All I could think as I sat in that cold dark jail cell was, when am I going to die? I was scared. I think the worst of it all was not knowing when I was going to die but knowing I was going to die in general. I sat in the darkest corner with my hands around my knees wondering if I was ever going to see the daylight again.
"Mo." I suddenly heard a sharp whisper from a familiar voice.
"Garrett?" I whispered back. "What do you want?"
The outline of his face suddenly appeared in the darkness. "I'll get you out of here."
"Oh, so you didn't hear?" I hissed. "I'm a spy, Garrett. I don't love you. I lied so that I could protect my friends."
"I know."
"Then why are you helping me?"
"No, I mean I knew the whole time." His voice was impatient. "Look, I have a plan. Just listen-"
"You knew!"
He threw his hand through the bars and clapped it over my mouth. "SHHH!" I could feel his eyes penetrating into mine. "Yes, I knew. Look, I'm not who you think I am. I'm on your side, I'm the spy that's been sending messages to Chiron."
I stared at him blankly for a second and then my mouth dropped open. "You're a good guy?"
He nodded solemnly. "A good guy with some really bad news. Kronos is launching his attack on the camp today."
"Today?" I hissed.
"Yeah. But I have a plan to get you out of here. I'm going to suggest that we take you along so that the 'traitors' who have been on our land will try and save you. But what Kronos doesn't know is that I'll let you go."
"That would have been a perfect plan if I hadn't known." The voice of nails on a chalkboard sounded behind us. "Truly brilliant Garrett."
We both froze in fear. Now what?
"I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I have to lock you in the cell with Mo too."
The same Demigods from before gabbed Garrett from behind, unlocked the cell door and through him in beside me.
"I do have to say Garrett, that idea could work for me." Kronos's eyes glowed in the dark. "I'll give you an hour to reconsider joining me and then I'm afraid I'll have to kill you along side Mo, except it will be in front of her friends. Good bye till then" With that, He and his guards marched out.
"Well this sucks." Garrett said after we were completely sure he was gone.
"Just a bit." I was shaken. "Plus, I'm not used to you being not a douche bag."
"Some people say my acting talent pwns all." I heard him snort.
"I have a question. If you knew, why did you keep trying to kiss me?"
He chuckled. "It was fun to mess with your head."
"I take what I said back, you are a douche bag." I elbowed him in the side.
"Not completely though."
I sighed. "No not completely."
"Good. At least I can die and know that I'm not a complete Douche."
Sam POV:
The camp was running around preparing for battle as we drove in. we immediately were pulled into the insanity and suited up for battle.
"Good luck out there." I looked up from setting a catapult to see my half sister Amanda and half brother Jay.
"You too." I smiled. "Good luck."
They nodded and then walked away. All my other friends came by to wish me good luck, too, many of which had just recently learned that I actually hadn't betrayed the camp, even Nick had come around. Nico had already come around and kisses me good luck and the only one person that hadn't come was Kara.
"Do you remember the suggestion Mo gave us?"
I turned to see Kara standing behind me. "Yeah, I do."
"We should use it."
My eyes went wide. "Kara! We haven't even tried to see if it works or not!"
"Trust me it will." Her eyes burned into mine. "I have a feeling."
"THEY'RE COMING!" the call came from above.
"Good luck Sam, see you on the battle field." She closed the opening of her helmet and hurried off to her battle station. This was it, the start of the final battle.
