Percy Jackson Annabeth Chase meet the Fallen C10
Annabeth swam to the surface after the fall into the base, she knew not to panic even as she fought against the current she was rewarded with fresh air as her head hit the surface she gulped in air, looking around to see the night sky. She saw movement and recognised the others so she made her way to shore when she got there she coughed and laid down on the stony shoreline.
"You could have told us it ends with a waterfall." Arianna was saying.
"You all survived." Sam replied
"Yes I see you did." An unknown voice stated making Annabeth look around she looked at Sam who looked just as confused but the others weren't they did not look impressed to see whoever it was that spoke. Annabeth followed their line of sight they were all looking up. Annabeth tensed, There up in the air was an old man wearing a cloak with wings. These wings looked more like bat wings she knew these were not Furies seeming it was a man it seemed he was not talking to Sam or herself but the others.
"Now really is not the time." Arianna stated
"Now is the perfect time. You will receive judgement." He stated that was when Annabeth noticed that there was not just one old flying man but several.
"Who's the bat freaks?" Sam asked "no way are you a vampire?" She added looking around the others looked uncomfortable.
"Silence!" The man shouted as another one moved forward with a rock he swung it at Sam's head she caught his hand and the look on her face it sent chills even down Annabeth's back.
"You should not have done that." Sam stated her tone held a dangerous edge to it.
"I..."the man did not get a chance to say anything else she grabbed his collar with her other hand and tossed him, he tried to right himself with his wing but it did not work he sailed until he hit the water with a large splash. Everyone was standing there in a standoff.
"Oh I want to keep her." Arianna stated
"You!" Sam stated pointing to the man that had spoken. "I don't care a fig of who you are or what you think your business with these kids are but I am warning you once. Move along." Sam stated her tone held an edge one Annabeth did not recognise.
"This is not your business." The man stated
"I am making it my business. I did not just go hiking for nothing. It is almost dawn I suggest you leave." Sam stated making Annabeth look at the sky, she was right they had been inside that cavern the whole night.
"Do you really want to fight?" Sam asked "you have attacked me, by rights I can act against you. Do you want to see who will win?" Sam asked Annabeth saw the confusion on the others faces, technically she was also confused who were these flying creatures and how did Sam know them?
"This war does not concern you, you cannot protect them forever." He stated before they turned and flew away.
"Who are you?" Daniel asked
"Better question is who are you? Why were the scale after you?" Sam asked "exactly what trouble are you in? Why do you need the sphere?" Sam asked
"You know the scale?" Gabbe asked
"I ran into them a couple of times." Sam shrugged
"Does that mean...are you?"
"I am a little offended you don't remember me. Then again I am meant to be forgotten." Sam stated with a shrug. "Come on lets head back to the cars, before they decided to come back." Sam stated she walked ahead of them the others shared a look with each other Annabeth had started walking Arianna grabbed her arm stopping her.
"Are you like her?" She asked
"Like her how?" Annabeth asked back
"How well do you know her?"
"As well as anyone knows someone I guess." Annabeth stated
"Do you know the scale?" Arianna asked
"Those old men with wings? No..." Annabeth stated moving over to Sam.
"So the scale...what are they? I take it they are not male furies."
"No, it is complicated."
"Then simplify it." Annabeth retorted
"They are angels." Sam stated
"Those old creepy men are angels?"
"No, the people behind us are angels those creepy men as you put it, they are watchers of sort. Meant to watch over angels and mortals alike to keep the balance."
"Hold up, the people behind us? Arianna and the others? You mean them?"
"I said it gets complicated." Sam replied "Do you know of the Fall? How one angel rebelled and god tossed all these angels out of heaven."
"The fallen?"
"Yes, so you have learnt some of it?"
"Not really I mean I have been a little busy with the Greek side. You know training to fight monsters to survive."
"I know. Considering you are only 16, I don't expect you to know everything. Hell I am way older than you and I am still learning. My point is angels exist and its..."
"Complicated?"
"Exactly." Sam smiled only for it to drop she froze and tilted her head. Annabeth knew that look her hand dropped to her dagger.
"Where?" She asked she could not sense a monster. As she looked around she saw the cars up ahead.
"Hey why have you stopped?" Roland asked only for all hell to break lose. They were attacked.
