Percy Pov
After Olivia left, I went back to teach the younger kids. The kids were in two groups of six. They are doing a good job of the sword technique.
"Alright, class dismissed," I said
The group of kids put their swords down and left the arena. Whew! I'm glad that's over. I went back to the Poseidon's cabin. It's been a while since I spoke to my father. Maybe, I'll visit him with Olivia one day. I opened the door and found Tyson there.
"Hi! Big Brother," Tyson said
He came up and hugged me. I hugged him back.
"I missed you, little guy," I said
"I missed you too," he said
"Olivia would be happy to see you," I said
Speaking of Olivia, where is she? I thought she told me that she was going back to the Poseidon cabin, but she's not here.
"Who is Olivia?" Tyson asked
"She is a daughter of Poseidon and a granddaughter of Pontas. I thought you meet her already because she was in the cabin." I said
"When I got here, I didn't see anyone there," he said
"Come on, we are going to look for her," I said while exiting the cabin with Tyson.
First, we went to the Big house to ask Chiron, but he said he haven't seen her. Next, we went to the Archery, but we didn't see her there. Then, we went to the Hades cabin and knocked on the door. We waited until Nico opened the door.
"What do you want?" Nico asked
"Hey Nico, we were wondering if you saw Olivia anywhere?" I asked.
"No, I just got back here and found Isabella missing. Do you know where she went?" Nico asked
Isabella's missing too. What is going on here?
I shooked my head.
"Oh well, I have to find her by myself then. Bye," Nico said.
He was about to close the door, but I stopped him.
"Wait! Why don't we go looking for them together?" I asked
"Fine," Nico said
Tyson, Nico, and I went to the Athena's Cabin. Why did we go there? Well, its because I want to ask Annabeth something. We knocked on the door and waited.
"Do we have to ask your girlfriend?" Nico asked
"He has too because he's a Seaweed brain," Tyson said
"Only Annabeth gets too call me that. Besides, she might know where Olivia and Isabella went." I said
Malcolm opened the door
"Percy, if you are here to see Annabeth, then I'm sorry to tell you that she's gone," Malcolm said
I frowned.
"She left a few minutes ago with a daughter of Hades and Poseidon," he said
"You mean that Olivia and Isabella passed by here," Nico asked
Malcolm nodded
"Thank you! Malcolm," Tyson said
"Your welcome," Malcolm said
We left Athena's cabin. So, we know that Annabeth went with Olivia and Isabella which means they are not in Camp Half-Blood. But, where did the girls go?
"Umm...Percy, did you check the note in the Poseidon cabin." Tyson said
I stopped and give Tyson a look
"What note?" I asked
"There was a note on your bed. I think it was from Olivia or someone. Maybe, that will give a clue to where she's gone." Tyson said
He passed me a paper from his pocket. It was a bit crumpled, but I could still read it in Greek.
I started to read it out loud to the others.
Dear Percy,
If you read this letter, then that means I left the Poseidon cabin. I'm going back home to see my mother again. Don't worry about me because I'm going to be fine. Besides, I learned from you, so I think I can defeat the monsters. I had fun helping you train the younger kids. If I come back safe and sound, then I want to have a rematch. If I die during my trip, promise me you'll move on. Also, I hope you have a wonderful time with your girlfriend. What else I'm forgetting? Oh yeah, can you tell Tyson that I said Hello?
Love,
Olivia Jackson
"We have to go now," I said
We went to Thalia's tree and shadow travel to Manhattan. I hope the girls are there.
Annabeth's POV
The bus was taking so long to arrive. So, while the girls and I were waiting for the bus. I saw three boys coming over to the bus stop. They kinda look familiar to me.
"Don't those three boys look familiar to you?" I asked Olivia and Isabella
"What boys?" Isabella asked
I pointed at the three boys and they are coming really closer now. The girls looked at the three boys.
"Oh no! Percy is coming when I specially said to him not to follow me," Olivia said
"And he's coming with Tyson and Nico. I wonder how did they know we were in Manhattan." I said
"Nico did tell me that the shadows can travel you to where the person that is closed to you," Isabella said
Huh! I don't understand but I understand at the same time.
"Hey, guys! Thank goodness you girls are still safe." Percy said standing next to us.
"Well, I can't believe you followed us when you weren't supposed to seaweed brain," I said
Percy was about to say something else but the bus arrived finally.
We went inside the bus and went on our way to Jamestown, Virginia.
"Tyson, would you care to explain how did you guys know that we were at the bus stop?" Isabella asked
"Well, to be completely honest with you, I don't know," Tyson said
Hmm... that's interesting
Olivia POV
I can't believe that Percy followed me. I wrote to him in a letter to not worry about m, but he came and followed me. Oh, how I want to just slap him upside the head.
Once, we get to Florida. Percy and I are going to have a little chat about NOT FOLLOWING ME BECAUSE I CAN PERFECTLY HANDLE MYSELF AND I DON'T NEED YOU TO MAKE SURE I'M SAFE ALL THE TIME.
So, anyways we are traveling on the bus to Virginia with the boys who joined us.
It was a pretty long ride and it is going to take us like three days to get there, but if we take an airplane (which I can't go to or else Zeus is going to use his lightning bolt to electrocute me) it's going to take a few hours to reach there. As long as there's no monsters on our path we should be fine right.
WRONG!
Because I started to hear noises in the bus.
"What was that making noise?" I asked the others.
They shrugged their shoulders
Okay, I'm just jumping to conclusions about a monster inside a bus. I heard the noise again, but this time the demigods heard it too. We drew our weapons.
"Who's making that noise? Come on and show yourself." Nico said
"Well Well Well, if it isn't the children of the big three and the daughter of Athena. What a surprise? I wonder where you six our going." A voice said
"Show yourself you coward and it's none of your business," Percy said
The voice showed itself and it was Euryale one of the gorgon sisters
"Euryale, What are you doing here?" Isabella asked
"I'm here to kill you of course. I want to get revenge on that sea spawn for killing my sisters and me. Oh, look the sea god had gotten himself another child. Great, I kill both of you quickly." Euryale said and charged.
She used her claws to try me and Percy to shreds, but we dodged it. Nico and Tyson tried to help, but there was a group of monsters blocking their way. How did the monsters get there? I don't know
Isabella and Annabeth were too busy fighting the hellhounds. It's like a monster battle except the mortals were going on there day.
"Olivia, pay attention especially when you have a gorgon who wants to kill us," Percy said
Percy and I keep on fighting the gorgon for about an hour. Slashing, and dodging the gorgon attacks.
"I'm surprised you survived this long Daughter of Poseidon, but I think you should give up now or else something bad will happen to your mother," Euryale said
I stopped, while Percy kept on fighting the gorge.
'What's going to happen to my mom, if I don't let the gorgon kill me.' I thought to myself
No! I won't let that monster pr my grandfather take my mother. So, I attacked harder than ever. Until Percy and me finally defeated Euryale. She dissolved into golden dust.
I looked to my left side and I saw my friends covered in gold dust too. I guess they defeated the other monsters too.
Note to self: Never jinx anything ever again
"Thank the gods, that is over with. I thought we were going to fight them forever." Annabeth said
"Good, now we can focus on taking Olivia to see her mother and Isabella in Florida," Tyson said
We sat on our original seats before we had to fight the monsters on the bus.
I'm glad the fighting is over. I can't wait to see my mother again, but I have to see my stepfamily again. I hope my mother finds a way to get rid of them. If not, then I'll have to stand up to them.
Isabella POV
I'm kinda worried about showing Nico where I live. I never showed him where I live. I told him my mom, half-sister, and half brother was electrocuted. But, mostly I'm worried how will Percy react if he found out that Olivia was sexually abused by her stepfamily.
I sit next to Olivia and start to have a conversation with her
"Olivia, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked
"Sure, What is It, Isabella?" She said
"Well, it's about Percy," I said
"What about him?" She said
"You know that we're going back home right," I said
She nodded
"You know that Percy, Tyson, Nico, and Annabeth are coming with us to make sure we're safe," I said
She nodded again
"It's just that I wonder how will they react if they found out about you being sexually abused by your stepfather," I said
"SHE IS WHAT!" Percy said
Great, I forgot they are right in front of us.
Percy looked at Olivia. Actually, the demigods looked at Olivia in shock
"You never told me that you were abused or sexually abused by your stepfather," Percy said
"Would you care to explain how did you told Isabella, but not us," Annabeth said
"Why did you hide it? You should've told someone else about that." Tyson said
"We could've have helped you," Nico said
I'm starting to think that I should've waited until we were alone to talk about it to Olivia.
"Listen, guys, I'm fine nothing to worry about. It's was just a few groping and that was it. It was nothing serious. So, can we please forget about this." Olivia said
I wonder if her mother knows about that.
But, I decided to drop it and glaring at Nico, Tyson, Annabeth, and Percy hoping they would drop it.
"Okay, we would forget about this," Percy said
4 hours later
We finally made it to Jamestown, Virginia. I have enough energy to take Olivia to Florida.
"I have the energy to take us to Florida now," I said
"Same, I have enough energy to shadow travel to Florida," Nico said
"Except, that once we shadow traveled to Florida. Nico and I are going to be tired. So, I hope you're ready." I said
They nodded their heads
"Everyone hold hands," Nico said
We hold our hands before we started to shadow travel,
"Is it going to be terrifying?" Olivia asked
"Yes, " Tyson said
"Don't worry we'll be fine" Annabeth said
"As long as we hold Nico and Isabella's hands and don't let go or else we're going to get lost," Percy said
"Alright, Here we go," I said
We looked for a shade in the trees and shadow traveled to Florida. It was cool shadow traveling again.
Once, we reach Florida, I started to feel like my energy was drained out of me.
"Is everyone okay?" Percy asked
"Fine," I said while feeling like I needed to take a nap
"Never better," Annabeth said
"Good," Nico said
"Terrific" Olivia said
"Frightening" Tyson said
"Since we are fine so let's go find Olivia's mother," I said
"But, first we need to take a rest. Because I can't go on like this." Annabeth said
We all agreed and looked for a place to sleep. Once, we found a place to sleep, we said good night to each other, and went to bed. Alright, tomorrow we are going to be on our way to find Olivia's home and meet her mother. While I have to show them where I live in case they asked me.
I fall into a deep sleep.
Percy POV
It's morning time. So, that means we can get going to find Olivia's mother. I can't wait to see her mother and maybe find her stepfather. So, I can give him a piece of my mind. But then again, Olivia's stepfather is kinda like my stepfather Gabe, but he never sexually abused me.
I walked out of the building only to find out my friends and my half-sister waiting for me outside.
"Wow, you're a heavy sleeper. I thought you would be the first one to be ready." Olivia teased
"Whatever, let's go," I said
We started walking around the neighborhood and it was a very simple town.
"So, where is your home, Olivia?" Annabeth asked
"Oh, we're almost there. It's only two blocks away from here." Olivia said
After, walking two blocks. We saw a nice house. It was a normal house nothing special.
"Is this your house Olivia?" Annabeth asked
"Yes, it is. It's home sweet home." Olivia said, "Come on let's go inside. I hope my mom is at home."
I feel like Olivia is worried about something.
