Hey im sorry for not updating in a while, I assumed that now that it was summer I would have more time for my stories but I have been swamped lately. So anyway thanks so much for the reviews, favs and follows I know every author says this but I really appreciate it. Here's Chapter 4
PERCYS P.O.V
We were all sitting by the campfire when Chiron ran towards us looking as calm as usual. When he reached us he said "all cabin councilors, with the addition of Katniss Everdeen have been requested to meet in the gods thrown room in Olympus."
There are rounds of gasps and moans on how non-cabin councilors want to go "ENOUGH!" Chiron yells, not angrily just our attention. Chiron yelling ALWAYS gets us to shut up.
"You will need to leave now, I have informed Argus and he's waiting for you all in the jeep."
We all start walking and I notice Katniss is trailing far behind I stop and when she's beside me I ask her what's wrong "I- what if I'm a demi-god? I don't know if I could face my … dad" I nod in understanding "most demi-gods feel that way, and if you are one of us that would be really cool. If your not" I shrug nonchalantly "who cares?" Then she does something amazing. She smiles and im left completely dazzled.
(A/N not going to do katniss pov of this little scene, 'because I want her reaction to this chapter 2 be a surprise ;)
When we got to the camp barrier I forgot about Peleus; a dragon that guards a sacred tree that my friend Thalia was once trapped in. on the tree is the golden fleece, now that's a LONG story. Anyway once Peleus sniffed Katniss he attacked. Katniss was hyper ventilating and right when she was about to be eaten she jump a long branch from … Thalia's tree.
We all told Peleus to calm down and when I helped Katniss down she wouldn't let go of my hand. She gripped it really tight but I didn't mind. We all cautiously left Thalia's tree and when Peleus was out of sight Katniss released my hand.
My hand now felt cold and empty but whatever. Katniss was shaking so I asked once again is she was okay. "Fine just being trapped in a tree… brings some bad memories." She said looking forward when she said this.
We were at the end of the path and I almost forgot about Argus. If you haven't met him he's pretty scary looking. He's got eyes EVERYWHERE. Im not being figurative but he has eyes on EVERY inch of his body. I've never heard him talk, but its rumored he has eyes on his tongue and that's why he can't talk that.
When Katniss saw him get out of the Camp Half-Blood jeep her eyes looked like saucers. Argus just smiled… I think and shook her hand. We all gasped because he has eyes on his hands but when we looked closer we saw that he was wearing gloves. Why?
It took about 5 minutes to get Katniss to calm down. The whole time Annabeth was rolling her eyes and scoffing. What's her problem? Anyway 2 minutes into the ride katniss started staring intently at Argus. In another 2 minutes we were all staring at the 2 of them wondering what's so different. Eventually Argus noticed and looked a little uncomfortable
Katniss then had a look of recognition. Then she said it. "You're an avox" she said not as a question but as a statement. At that statement Argus slammed the car to a stop and we all were slightly propelled forward. Argus looked like he wanted to object but he just looked down … shamefully? And nodded.
"What's an avox?" Katie Gardner, daughter of Demeter asked. Katniss looked at Argus with a questioning look and he just nodded. "Well, in my time if you disobey the capitol your known as a traitor and the capitol hunts you down, and forces you to work in the capitol… after they cut your tongue off"
Argus nodded. I didn't understand what Argus did wrong but I guess I never would because Argus stepped hard on the pedal and we continued driving. In a few more minutes we were in front of the empire state building. When we stepped out Katniss looked around at everything we all chuckled at how cute she looked staring at everything.
We all stopped when she had a scowl on her face. Then Katniss answered the question that was forming in all of our heads "it looks like the capitol" she let out a huff and she gestured for us to show her the way. We did and once we got in the elevator Katniss was breathing unevenly. She looked to everyone else in the elevator. (Which was just us) and said "Capitol related" she said simply.
Once we reached the top and the door opened Katniss was the first one out. Her breathing evened out and she gasped. "Its … amazing." We showed her to the thrown room and waited until the gods told us to enter. It doesn't matter how many times you save Olympus NEVER enter the thrown rooms without the gods addressing you. "Demi-gods may enter" a monotone voice said through the speakers.
Once we were all in the middle Katniss kept her eyes trained on Apollo. Now that I think about it I do see the resemblance. Maybe she is a demi-god. "Katniss Everdeen you are here to assist Camp-Half blood in a new war correct?" Zeus asked "correct" she says through gritted teeth still staring at Apollo.
"But I assume you don't know about your lineage?" Katniss averted her eyes away from Apollo "Excuse me?" "I know you are not as well educated as-" "I know what it means" she says fiercely. Everyone in the room gasped except Zeus. "I like your … spunk" he gives Katniss a knowing smirk and she takes a step back. "I will pardon your rudeness because you are a child of prophecy"
She nods and then asks a question we both shared. "Am I a demigod?" she asked "my dear-" Zeus has never said something so endearing t o any demigod before "you are the strongest, smartest and bravest Demigod of all time" we all let out a gasp.
Katniss eyes trail back to Apollo "Are… you my dad, you look just like him?" she asks shyly. Zeus answers" well, that's where it gets complicated. You see a few years ago, Apollo saw a brief segment of the future. It was of the 12 Olympians discussing a perfect demi-god."
"So what we did was put some of our powers into a tiny bottle and we decide Apollo should be the one to … insert our bloodline into your mother" I am slightly grossed out. Katniss and the rest of the campers looked grossed out too. "so what your saying is Apollo is my …dad" she said the last word with Hatred?
"Hey, katniss" Katniss looked really mad. I was kind of scared of what she'll do. "DON'T YOU 'HEY KATNISS' ME LIKE NOTHING'S WRONG! HOW DARE YOU" everyone is obviously shocked. That's when Queen Hera Intervened "Listen young lady-" "no offence Queen Hera but SHUT UP IM NOT DONE YET!" Hera looked as if she was about to kill. She was about to retort but then she gasped and we all followed her gaze to behind Katniss. It was in insane sight. There were fire, lighting, walking skeletons, waves, hurricanes, and just about every other power of the god swirling behind her.
Katniss didn't take her eyes off of Apollo. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHATS HAPPENED TO ME OR PRIM OR MY MOTHER? DO YOU EVEN CARE? NO WHY WOULD YOU, ITS NOT LIKE YOU HAD TO STARVE YOURSELF EVERYDAY SO YOUR FAMILY COULD EAT! OR GO INTO AN ARENA TO FIGHT TO THE DEATH! I'VE LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE YOU'RE A COWARD! YOU ALL ARE! YOU HIDE IN YOUR PRETTY LITTLE PALACE WHILE CHILDREN ARE DYING EVERY YEAR! YOUR ALL SELFISH COWARDS AND IF YOU THINK I'D HELP YOU-" she laughs "YOU'VE GOT A NOTHER THING COMING" she then walks out but before she leaves she say "good luck and may the odds be ever … in your favor" we were all left dumbstruck.
We all turn back to Apollo who had silent tears streaming down his face "I-I didn't know any of that, especially about her s-sister"
Once again our mouths are practically on the floor, but my instincts kick in and I run after Katniss. It feels like I've been running forever. I've searched all of Olympus and she couldn't get down the elevator could she. Only I had the key card. I reach down into my pocket and feel nothing "Damn it Katniss" I say aloud. I turn and see all the councilors and gods behind me.
"She took the elevator key card" I say. After the titan war they made enhancements on the elevator so it can take you anywhere in the world. So "she could be anywhere"
