We left pretty much straight after what he said. We took a train, because we needed to get to Hollywood. I bonded with my roman half, and Annabeth gave me a spare change of clothes to change in. I was a little confused as to who was actually here. Like I knew these people were part of the prophecy, but I still didn't know them. "Annabeth, could you introduce me to them please?" I whispered to her. Her eyes widened. "Oh, yea. Right this is Amanda Miller." She said as she pointed to a strawberry-blonde teen. "Hi." I greeted. "Oh, Hey! Are you Zeus' kid?" I nodded. She gasped. "Now way. So am I!" I laughed with her. Annabeth then introduced me to the rest. Jacob Graham, was a son of Ares. Catherine Rush, a daughter of Aphrodite and Zach Cooper, was a son of Hades. Though they all know their parents as ZEUS= JUPITER, HADES= PLUTO, ARES= MARS and APHRODITE= VENUS. It took a while to convince them otherwise. I exchanged a look with Nico that said 'So far so good. No monsters yet.' Note to self, do not ever think that. Ever. We were still about 45 minuets away from Hollywood, when then train started to make a horrible noise, like it was breaking down. The driver managed to get the train onto an emergency line and signal that the train was out of use while someone checked it out. I was looking out the window because we were over a river on a bridge. Yay. I turned back to see a dracanae behind Nico a couple of rows. I whispered to the rest, "Get off the trian now. Casually though. Do not attract any attention." They nodded. We went up to the staff and said "Excuse me, can we get off? I called my mum and asked her to pick us up." He looked unsure but he let us. We left and managed to get away when the dracanae caught up with us. We were, luckily, hidden enough so no-one else could see us. Then the battle raged on. I counted and, in total there were easily, at least 15. There were 8 of us. Outnumbered. Mind you, we had quite powerful people on our side. Most of the dracanae were focused on me, Amanda, Nico and Zach. Because we were kids of the big 3. I had 2, so did Amanda, Nico and Zach. The rest went on to Annabeth, Percy, Jacob and Catherine. I dodged a few strikes, when I felt the ground crack. I saw Nico sucking up the souls and banishing them once-more and Zach's heap on the floor from using to much power. I was battling with Amanda, when I looked at her and raised my eyebrows a few times. She looked at me and shook her head. I yelled and a bolt of lightning shot down and wiped all of them out. Amanda eyes widened and she gaped at me whilst Nico helped me blast down the dracanae. It was soon over. I didn't know that using lightning bolts used up that much energy. Nico obviously felt the same, because both he and I paled considerably. I had to lean against a tree, because my eye sight had gone fuzzy and the world spun. Nico just sat on the floor. Annabeth and Percy and the rest soon came over. Annabeth gave me some ambrosia and so did Percy to Nico. My eye sight soon returned to normal. I blinked a few times and I could see properly again. Soon we were on our journey to Hades once more. After a while, my feet started to ache. "Isn't there anyway? Anyway to get there faster?" I winged to no one in particular. "We could travel by dolphins?" Percy suggested. Everybody was so tired to argue so we walked over to the nearest river which was about a 15 minuet drive, and Percy did his little thing and soon there were 4 dolphins. Percy summed up everything to the romans, whilst also saying that it is 2 per dolphin. Me and Nico on a soft grey one, Annabeth and Percy on a pinky-grey colour, Amanda and Zach on a pure silver one and Catherine and Jacob were on a young dolphin. About 10 minuets later the dolphins started to squeaking and Percy said "This is as far as they go. They said they are too near the Styx." We all patted them and gave them sugar lumps. Nico lead us to a hill, where he chanted "Underworld, open to me." Soon a small hole appeared in the ground and Nico jumped down. I followed in last after everyone else. Soon we fell down on the lifeless ground. Nico lead us to a really dark palace. Hades' home. We got close to the doors, when they creaked open. We walked in cautiously, to find ourselves face to face with sleeping hellhounds. We itched around and saw Persephone. Nico stiffened when he saw her. She did the same. "Why are you all here?" She asked us. Nico looked like he was contemplating on what her head would look like on a spear. So I answered instead. "Uh, we need to see Hades please. It's to do with the prophecy." Persephone nodded and lead us to an all dark throne room. Hades was arguing with another lady. Demeter. Goddess of the harvest. We walked in and bowed. Demeter scoffed and announced "These kids are too skinny. They need cereal."
"MOTHER!" Persephone exclaimed before the women disappeared into a flurry of wheat and flowers. It was silent for a long time before Hades spoke. "I know of the prophecy. I know you will want and need help. What is it?" I shifted a little bit. I didn't even realise it, but everyone had been put into different outfits. Hades place. He likes the colour black, so we were all dressed in new fancy black clothes. I got ready to answer when Nico did. "Father, we need your help finding chaos. What do you require in return?" Hades thought about it for a while. Then he spoke. "I will help you. IF, you talk to my brothers and get them to allow me to visit Olympus anytime I wish." This was a hell of a command. Zeus and Poseidon hate him! But we all nodded. So did Hades. "Very well. Now Chaos. He will probably be in a hidden god's village in New York, awakening the minor demi-titans. Just be careful. He has stuff you know none of." We nodded. "Thank you Lord Hades." I said. He nodded and waved his hand. We were then back in more different outfits. I like this outfit better than the underworld stuff. The hidden god village? Oh, I know where that is! "Hey, I know where the hidden gods village is." I announced. All of their heads snapped my way. "Where?" Amanda asked. "It's in, like, a similar entrance to the labyrinth. You place a hand on the middle of the door, only a demigods touch, and it opens."
"Brilliant." Percy announced. I chuckled and we went on our way. Unfortunately we uncovered a few monsters. 2 hellhounds, 3 Dracanae and a fury. Me and Nico stabbed and slashed the hellhounds, Amanda and Zach sliced the 3 dracanae. I was congratulating them on their luck when I felt something warm run down my back and the world disappeared in front of me.
~NICO'S PERSPECTIVE~
I was congratulating Amanda and Zach, when I saw something fly over Clarissa's head. "Alecto." I sneered. "Nico." She-It- sneered back at me. I just stabbed it in the gut with my sword and sheathed it once more. Did I forget to tell you it's name was Καταχθόνια τρόμου. Stygian Terror. I had a message or a quote carved into it. I think Bianca did it. It said Αγάπη, θα βρείτε αν είστε πρόθυμοι να βρει την αγάπη. Love, will find you if you are willing to find love. (A/N- I made that up as well!) It also had another message engraved in it. εθάνει προστατεύοντας αυτούς που αγαπάτε. Die protecting those you love. I think my mum engraved that one. I miss them both. I was about to talk to Clarissa, when I saw Annabeth and Amanda run over to a figure on the ground. I ran over as well, and what I saw made my heart do a double take. It was Clarissa. I could literally feel her life aura dying. I don't care what the others thought about my next move. "Clarissa, please don't die. I love you! Don't leave me!" I was now sobbing. It reminded me of my mum's death. And Bianca's. I was reliving it all over again. Percy put some nectar in her mouth and controlled the water into healing her. Slowly it did. Her life aura was just barely there. But it was. Percy then gave her some nectar and she woke up. She literally jumped up and glowed a faint blue and then was rested on the ground again. I looked up at the sky, to see what was a storm, die down. Zeus. I was so embarrassed by my actions, that I hid away again.
~NO ONE'S PERSPECTIVE ON OLYMPUS~
The gods are crowded around a table. A meeting. Zeus looks scared. As does Poseidon, Aphrodite, Athena and even Ares. They are worried about their children. But when Clarissa stirs, they all seem to calm down. "Why are you calming down? She isn't yours." Zeus asked. "Because," Athena starts "She is one of the most strongest fighters that they have. With her, they have more a chance of surviving." Zeus nods. Poseidon has a quick conversation in Greek. "Αδελφός, δεδομένου ότι είμαστε όλοι ανησυχούν για τα παιδιά μας, θα μας επιτρέψει να μιλήσουν μαζί τους, στα όνειρά τους. αρακαλώ? Θα πρέπει να το επιτρέψουμε.."
Zeus then answers with a hesitation... "ρόστιμο. Αλλά θα πρέπει να είναι γρήγορη και μην πείτε οι υπόλοιποι θεοί και θεάς δεν μπορεί να γν?ρίζει αυτό ή θα είναι πραγματικά σταυρό. Να θυμάστε ότι μόνο εσείς, Αθηνά, Αφροδίτη, Άρης και επέτρεψα στον εαυτό μου. Ο Άδης, αν επιθυμεί πάρα πολύ." Posiedon is very gratefull. "Ευχαριστώ τον αδελφό. Οι άλλοι θα γν?ρίζουν αυτό κανένας."
(A/N= THAT CONVERSATION WILL NOW BE TRANSLATED!)
Poseidon- "Brother, since we are all worried about our kids, will you to allow us to speak with them in their dreams. Please? You need to allow this."
Zeus- "Fine. But you have to be quick and do not tell the other gods and goddess may not know of this or they will be really cross. Remember that only you, Aphrodite, Athena, Ares and allowed myself. Hades, if he wishes too"
Posiedon- "Thanks brother. Others will know this none."
~END OF OLYMPUS POV~
~Nico's Perspective~
I felt Clarissa stir. I was carrying her down some Hollywood road, when I heard Amanda gasp. "What?" I asked her as I gave Clarissa to Percy. (A/N-CHEESY I KNOW! DEAL WITH IT!) "My brother, who's a movie star has a movie home around here. Can I ask him if it's ok?" I thought about it. "Depends, who is he?" Amanda really didn't want to answer. "Let's just say, he was in a really famous film realised in 2003. Think about it." I didn't get it. I think Percy and Annabeth got it though. I mentally rolled my eyes. Amanda took us to a very casual house, considering he was a movie star. Maybe he wanted a low profile. Anyway, we got outside when Amanda said her name into a name plate. "Ava. Sibling. Tasha and Mark. Mum and Dad." A buzzer sounded and Ava whispered, "He doesn't know. I'll tell him when we get in."
About 5 minuets later, the door opened and we walked in. Amanda-or Ava-walked straight to a living room. She motioned for us to follow, then she told Percy "Take her to the door with the pale blue love heart on. That's my own room. Just lay her there, to give her some time." Percy nodded and I went up with him to put her to bed.
~AMANDA'S PERSPECTIVE~
When Percy and Nico took Clarissa upstairs, I motioned for the others to follow me. I first took them to the wardrobe to get changed into something nicer. I changed into something, cute but casual Annabeth changed into a t-shirt and shorts, Zach changed into jeans and a hoodie, Catherine changed into a shirt and skirt, and Jacob changed into shirt and shorts When we were all re-dressed, I walked them down to the front room, and I went upstairs to check on Clarissa. She is my half-sister after all. My heart melted when I saw Nico and Clarissa. They looked so cute. I gave Percy a spare change of clothes. I asked him "What type of clothing does Nico like? And Clarissa?" Percy thought for a moment then said, "Nico like's anything that is Black. Or dark colours. He also likes sleeveless jackets. Clarissa like's pale colours and sleeveless jackets. Same as Nico." I nodded and found the perfect outfit for Nico then for Clarissa. I gave them to Percy and left them alone. I went into the living room and put the television on for them, and walked into the kitchen to talk to my brother. Yes. If you know what I look like, you'll know who my brother is. I walked in and hugged him from behind. "Hey." He said. His name was Thomas. Thomas Sangster. (A/N- I NEEDED SOMEONE FAMOUS TO BE THE BROTHER!)
