'Thoughts'

Previously on We Banished Princes zoo days

"What's Camp Jupiter?" She asked. I smiled, so she was Roman after all, usually a Roman demigod and a Greek demigod were not born near the opposing camp but there were some cases. But now came the hard part. just how were we going to get her to the Wolf House safe and unnoticed. She was way too young to go by herself like the others before her and Lupa's wolves could take weeks. I sighed. "This is getting way out of hand".

Percy POV

Remember the monsters coming in the Zoo? I do too, so when Jason brought up the problem of work I decided that it was time to pack up. Just enough for trip to the camp and back to the apartment. So for three more days we worked harder than before to show our appreciation. Then we went home for the night giving Maggie some time to sleep in a safe place before we packed up and bid a small farewell to Al telling him we'll be back before he knew it.

"Yeah, yeah just don't forget about your poor little landlord, ok?" Was all he had said. Now finally setting out the only other thing that we have to do is decide on how to get to our destination. When we left the Zoo we were leaving for good, monsters were becoming more and more common and that puts us and the Zoo in danger. As expected though we didn't leave without a tearful goodbye.

FLASHBACK

I walked up to Darius' cage with a solemn look on my face. He looked up at me from where he was currently eating. He stopped as he caught sight of my face and trotted towards me.

"Hey Perce, what's with the long face?" He asked.

I tried to send him a small smile, but it didn't last long.

"Listen Darius, I need you to promise me something."

He shuffled his hooves a bit before looking at me again. "Sure, but Perce what is this about?"

I opened my mouth and let out a sigh. "I'm leaving with Jason to get Maggie to safety and after that is done we won't be coming back, so will you please not try to runaway when I'm gone."

Darius stared in shock. " You mean you're leaving as in goodbye leaving like fun is done forever leaving?" He started shuffling around frantically and whining.

"No! I mean well kind of, but I'm sure you'll see me again soon just not for a while is all!" I said trying to calm Darius down at least a little bit so we didn't draw any more unwanted eyes than we already have. There weren't many people here this early in the morning but that doesn't mean I was alone. The other zoo keepers glanced at me curious about what I was doing. Though some tried to hide it I could still feel the stares.

Bringing my attention back to Darius as he spoke to me he says, "So you'll visit right, if I keep my promise and stay I'll see you soon?"

I thought about it for a moment before smiling.

"You bet I'll be back before you know it!"

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay then get on with your bad self don't let me- no don't let anything hold back!"

I grinned and waved goodbye as I left.

"But I'll be holding you to that promise Percy Jackson don't you forget it!" Darius yelled after me and I wouldn't forget. That's why it hurts so much to lie.

FLASHBACK END

When I woke up I was on a bus with Maggie leaning her head on Jason's right arm in the seat next to me on the left side of the bus. Unlike Maggie he was awake and staring outside the window at a flock of birds flying next to the bus. No doubt he was thinking about his farewell too.

JASON POV

I had just gotten the three little trouble makers Till, Dull and Zach out of another bind with Mike. Dan was once again scolding them for causing me trouble, while May apologized profusely for needing my help. It actually felt kind of bittersweet to me.

"Miss May." I said, stopping her in the middle of another apology.

"I'm really glad that I met you and your family. So there is no reason to apologize, to some these bonds are hard to come by." I spoke lowly. May didn't need a hint to find the farewell in my words.

She frowned. "So this is it? You're flying out of the nest today."

"Yes."

"Is it because of that girl you found?"

"Yes."

May gathered up all the hope in her eyes as if her eyes alone would make me stay.

"Will you be coming back?" She didn't say that Zach did, he had caught on to the conversation. His brothers and father silently waiting for my answer, but I know the answer I have is not what they want to hear. For the first time in my life I wanted to runaway with my tail between my legs. Because it was going to hurt all of us.

But I said it anyway.

"No."

Dull's namesake washed over their eyes and Till began to cry. I lowered my head to the ground so I wouldn't see the rest and was tempted to cover my ears then walk away.

But May is a wise bird. "Don't." She commanded and I froze.

"Don't leave this place with regret Jason that is not your way and you know it. Look up."

I did but instead of the disappointed faces I expected I got teary smiles. I was confused and my face must have showed it because Dan shifted his talons abit.

"We always knew that you were going to leave one day I mean nothing last forever. In fact we once knew a kid just like you." Dan admitted.

"Wait a minute, you mean another child or Jupiter?" I said excitedly, I had believed I was the only one.

"Yeah and here's the thing, she had the same last name you have. She told us to keep quiet until her friend came by to give him a message. Though her dad was Zeus the counterpart of Jupiter."

"I can't believe it... hey what was her name and the message? I know who it's for."

Dan was going to answer but May stopped him.

"We will tell you if you promise to come and see us again. No exceptions."

I sighed. "I'll come back to visit I promise."

"Okay, her name is Thalia. She said her friend was a demigod like her but he was taken. She said that something wasn't right and that a strange power appeared after he vanished. She wants to find him and bring him back home safely." Dan said.

"The friends name what is it?" I already knew but I needed to make sure.

"Percy Jackson she said."

"Right thank you. I have to go, but I really meant what I said I'll miss you guys a lot."

May and her family gave me a bird hug before I turned and left. As I met up with Percy I found myself in the place I hated most. My regret.

When I met with Percy at the gates I could already tell he made the same promise I did.

"Are you ready?" He asked. Maggie standing beside him holding his hand.

"Let's just go before I change my mind. It's a couple of bus stops until we reach Sonoma Valley and I would rather get there sooner than later." I replied.

He nodded and shouldered his and Maggie's bags we were walking to the first stop when I remembered the message.

"Hey Percy," He turned his head to the side to face me. "Did you ever meet a girl named Thalia?" His eyes lit up a bit at the mention of her name.

"Sure did she's my cousin and now that I think about it that makes her your sister. We used to get in all kinds of fights at camp but we were close before she joined the hunters of Artemis."

"My...sister, she came to the Zoo once and according to Dan, left a message saying she was looking for you. She says something weird is going on and you are part of it because when you vanished the strange power appeared."

He looked at me curiously. "They don't think I caused it do they?"

I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders." I'm not sure Dan didn't say, sorry."

"That's okay, but to tell you the truth I rather have nothing to do with it at all. I'm in no shape for another prophecy leading to a bigger war. Not again."

His hands briefly tightened before easing up. Maggie and me both looked at him with a bit of concern. Only I know what he is talking about, but Maggie only eight years old could still sense his discomfort. I also didn't feel like fighting another war for the gods, I mean what would be the point? They kicked us out on the curb and they fight well enough on their own. Still I worried over Camp Jupiter and the few gods kind enough to help us.

We didn't speak another word until we were on the bus leaving for the home I was banished from.

3rd person POV

A man dressed in a simple black jacket and blue jeans sat in the back of the bus. He gaze was set at the backs of two teenagers a few seats in front of him. He briefly wondered if they didn't know that there were monsters on the bus mixed in with the few mortals onboard. He quickly dismissed that thought though when the raven haired leaned over and whispered something to his blonde friend. The blonde then proceeded to bring the small sleeping girl next to him onto his lap and tighten his hold, but gently as not to wake her. The other boy smiled a seemingly mischievous smile and started to sing.

Slit the throat of reason and reality

Cut myself and scream for their insanity

Welcome to this nightmare that will never end

Great attraction of his twisted master plan

The man couldn't believe it the boy's singing was driving the monsters crazy. Left and right they were either killing themselves or each other, it was madness. His target was literally driving everyone insane! Somehow though he and his other target are not being affected. Maybe it was a good thing he forgot his hearing aid. Snapping his attention back on the raven he had finished his song and in his wake left nothing but golden dust. The bus finally came to a halt and the remaining passengers got off for next one. As he watched his targets disembark a feral grin crept up his face. This millennia's recruits were going to be interesting.

Kitsue: Yay finally done! But you know it really would be faster if people review more often, you know. Anyways I also don't own the opening song for Deadman Wonderland. KN out!
