Aj: Hiya people of Earth and people from other planets. So, before anyone kills me before not updating, here is my excuse. I was taking a break from fanfiction because of all of the horrible stories people post on here and then they complain that they aren't getting enough reviews. There are really good authors on here, like Avenging Angels, but others just want popularity for bad clichés. So I'm writing a tutorial to avoid it and make it better for people so I don't have to keep taking breaks from this site. Even though I'm not one of the best on fanfiction, I think I'm in Middle Class so check it out on my profile. Oh yeah, there's also another chapter below.

Olympus

Fang was forcibly pushed into the gleaming throne room of Olympus, which he had come to feel familiar in, by some of Kronos' goons. Fang couldn't help but notice gold stains on the throne room tinged with purple. Fang mentally smiled smugly, knowing that something had happened to Dionysus. It served him right for torturing the flock to make Max go on the quest. The quest that she would never return from.

Fang wanted to blame someone. He wanted to feel a burning rage at someone because he lost her and didn't know how to get her back. Fang blamed the gods at first; they were the ones who sent her in the first place. And then he blamed Percy for not being able to save her; of course it had nothing to do that he might have been a tad jealous of Percy when he was with Max. Of course it wasn't. But Fang couldn't help but think it was his own fault. Maybe if he had talked to her when she tried the night before she turned into Kronos things would have been different.

Maybe he could have sensed something was wrong in her voice. Of course he would have, they knew each other better than anyone in the world. Fang didn't remember when everything went straight to hell. Maybe when Kronos was released from hell, maybe before then. All Fang knew, was that he was going to get Max back…and Kronos was probably reading his mind right now.

Fang glanced to see Kronos smiling knowingly and sighed. Of course he had been reading his mind. These immortals are worse than Angel. Nothing was private anymore, even with the strongest mental blocks. Fang glared at Kronos, but it had no effect.

"And you wonder why I'm going to kill all of you pathetic humans. You need someone to blame and you blame yourself. Humans want anger in their lives for no reason. Just give up Fang, she is gone forever. And she's in Tartarus right now getting the humanity sucked out of her." Kronos cackled. Fang froze, feeling as if he was punched in the gut.

Fang had suspected Max had been trapped somewhere, but he had never even considered her being in Tartarus. She had been forced into taking Kronos' place and was enduring torture worse than he could imagine. No mortal is meant to endure that torture. What would happen to her if she did manage to be restored control? Would she even be the same Max? Or would she be mentally insane and broken.

Fang was furious.

"Get her out!" He yelled with such force that anyone would have listened. Anyone except Kronos.

"And if Maxie does get control back, to kill me she would be killing herself and would just get sent back down there with me for company."

Fang knew what Kronos was implying. He had been right. Max was gone, no matter what happened. If Kronos lost, Max lost too. That was when a silent tear that was almost undectable slid down Fang's cheek. It wasn't Fang's fault; it was Kronos'.

Fang was so distracted in his thoughts that he didn't notice Kronos firmly holding his scythe in hand and gold eyes glowing even brighter than usual.

"It's begun." Kronos whispered maniacally just as Percy, Thalia, and the remaining flock burst in and sounds of war were heard from outside.

"Not if we can help it!" Percy yelled.

Max

I was weightless in a sea of agony. I was reliving my most painful memories and fears while I felt like I was being stabbed in a million places. Where was I? What did I do to deserve this? If I screamed, the souls would go inside me and feed on my humanity. I wanted to scream though. I wanted to cry like a baby. I wanted to be normal and never have to deal with this again.

That would never happen.

"My family isn't an actual family. I know that. But we love each other more then a family could. If gods could die, would any of you give your lives for one of your family? Do you care about each other enough that you would do anything for any of your family? I thought so. Hera, if all of you are considered the perfect family then I would never want a perfect family. And if you still want to split us up then why don't you ask what they would choose. You or me." I told all of them.

It seemed like it was years ago when I made my speech to the gods. I never knew how much I knew I would sacrifice to save the people I care about. And even as I'm being tortured, if I had the chance to do it all over again and choose to save myself instead, I wouldn't have changed a thing.

"I told you we should have left while we had the chance! Now we've been sucked in and they're trying to find any way possible to keep me as far away from you guys as possible."

"There's always a plan." He said hopefully.

"Not this time Fang. They're more powerful then anyone we could have ever dreamt of. If we try to leave they'll find us now because we're some priority and they'll always know where we are. They could kill you in a second!" I sobbed.

"This sucks!" He shouted, punching the white pillar.

"I know! I told you we should've left. You didn't listen though and now we have to break up or you die. After this happens you're going to break your promise and the flock will split up!" I yelled back. Understanding flashed in his eyes that I knew this would happen and that's why I was trying to leave so much.

I had thought then that by now we would've gotten out and been together again. I knew now that that was our last time together as more than friends. I wanted to resent the gods and blame my torture on them, and it was partly their fault, but right now, all my hate was reserved for Kronos and my torturer. If I ever got out of this, then I could go back to hating the gods' guts.

He abandoned you and betrayed you. He broke his promise to you. He said he'd never ever leave you again—

You're lying!

His new flock consists of five other hybrids. Two are boys named Holden and Ratchet and three are girls named Kate, Star, and Maya—

How is this affecting me exactly? He can be around girls, I ground out, if you can ground out something mentally.

Maya has been known by another name that perhaps you'll recognize—

You are an extremely poor father. Even worse than Jeb. At least Jeb didn't eat his kids and possess his daughter.

She used to go by Max 2. Your clone that tried to kill you. And he treats her exactly like he would treat you, possibly better.

That was it. I stopped fighting and let him take over.

I didn't know if he had been telling me the truth, but I had a sickening feeling that he was. I trusted Fang with all of my heart, but it wasn't my heart that was suspicious, it was my gut.

A smell other than blood and decay started to fill my nostril's and like a rocket I was being propelled out of Tartarus. I was going faster than I would have been able to with my super speed, which is insanely fast. That was when I noticed that somehow, my wings were back. I couldn't help it, I whooped and hollered in joy and did a (awful) victory dance while I was still being flown to god knows where.

The smell was becoming stronger and stronger as I was being shoved through the air and I recognized it to be Mcdonald's. I didn't know why though. And I didn't know where I was going. All I knew was, I was the first mortal to escape from Tartarus. I was going to brag about this forever. That is, if I survived.
