Hey guys! How's it going? I'm pretty wonderful myself, if not also completely sleep deprived. Thanks for asking! :) Thanks for all the reviews last chapter! I'm sorry Valentine's Day seemed to suck for nearly everyone. Only a messed up person breaks up with someone on Valentine's Day. That's just not cool. Its one of those unspoken things you're supposed to never do. (I can't think up an example right now, but there are others.) And if you're single and don't even have a crush or something, and you're not in elementary school, Valentine's Day does really suck. Oh well onto a new topic now! I'm sorry the war and stuff isn't really going on yet. I'm trying really hard to keep the ball rolling, but I get caught up in all these little things I want to do... I really need to make more restraints for myself next time. Try a more detailed storyline map. (More detailed as in planned out. Not more stuff.) Stuff to keep in mind. Anyways, I own nothing! But please enjoy this chapter. :)

Percy's POV

I leaned heavily on my cane, pretending I needed it to stand. "Fine. I can help you with a problem, if you want."

Midnight narrowed her eyes at me. "What problem could you possibly help with?"

I rolled my eyes. "Chaos's heir, Raven, is missing. Everyone knows that," I stated, pretending it was old news. I knew that they had been trying their hardest to cover up their tracks, and having me say that they were wrong would shake them up and allow me, a "commoner" to "help".

Midnight gasped. "That's impossible!" She looked at Chaos. "No one knows that but a select few!"

I tsked. "Well, I doubt you included me in your select few."

Midnight glared at me, sure I was bluffing my way through this. Luke looked at me with a new light. Chaos stood up from behind his desk.

"You wish to help us," he clarified. "Do you know where my son is?"

I pretended to ponder this for a minute, when of course I knew where his son was. After a second, I said, "I think so. Point me to a map and I'll probably be able to point him out."

Midnight might have still looked suspicious about trusting me, but Luke looked giddy and hopeful like a schoolboy promised he could have a treat if he was good at the doctor's office. Chaos led me over to a large touchscreen map on a wall, the two following in our wake.

My adoptive father stared at my sunglasses and frowned slightly. "You might want to take those off so you can see the display."

"No, it's alright. I can see just fine."

"I insist," Chaos protested politely.

I had no choice but to take off my sunglasses then. It would seem suspicious if I didn't, and I wanted the opposite of that.

I turned to the map, my blue eyes taking it all in. Luke deflated slightly when he saw my eye color; no doubt he was hoping I was Raven. I could fool even my best friend...

A second after viewing the map of the city, I asked for one of the palace. Chaos snapped his fingers and one appeared on the screen. I pretended to analyze that one too before I spun around and gazed at my audience. "I know where he is," I announced.

"Where?" They all exclaimed in one simultaneous shout.

I turned back to the wall and smirked once I knew they couldn't see my face. Reaching a tan finger up to the map, I tapped the room nearly labeled "Chaos's Office".

"He's right there."

The three looked around the room, expecting Raven–me–to pop out of the shadows and shout "Boo!" When Raven didn't make a sudden appearance, they turned on me.

"He's not here," Luke stated, obviously confused.

"You lied!" Midnight accused. Chaos said nothing, either positive or negative.

I shook my head. "No I didn't."

"Raven isn't here," Luke repeated.

"Yes, he is," I argued. "He's right under your noses."

They all looked around again. I sighed. "He's right in front of you."

Their frowns came back to me. "I don't see him," Midnjght growled. "Where is he?!"

I spread my arms wide, putting myself on display. "Right in front of you."

"You're not..." Midnight started, but I began to change my appearance before their very eyes. First, my almost-brown hair darkened until it was inky black, it's normal color. Then my eyes slowly reverted from their blue hue to the usual green color, a shade somewhere between my former seagreen and an evergreen.

"Raven!" Luke exclaimed, rushing towards me and wrapping me in a manly hug.

"Raven!" Chaos shouted as well and scooped Luke and I up in a group hug. "I thought I lost you," he whispered just loud enough for me to hear, since his mouth was near my ear.

"Never, Dad," I whispered back.

I smiled at him and Luke once we broke apart. However, I wasn't sure how to react to the emotionless stare from Midnight.

Then she slowly began to walk towards me. "Midnight..." I started, but she interrupted me. I was expecting some form of physical abuse and I was not disappointed.

Quickly, Midnight punched me in the gut with all her strength, and that was a lot of strength from training with Chaos's army. Then she kicked me in the shin, causing me to double over from the gut punch and the shin kick.

When I was at my most vulnerable, Midnight came in for a hug. She rested her chin on my shoulder. "Never do that again," she threatened lowly, so quiet I almost missed it. Then she said, "And stop calling me Midnight. That's a code name. My name is Zoë."

I smiled softly into her long black hair. "Okay, Zoë."

Hey guys! Next update will be Saturday (five days). It's school vacation week, and I don't know if anything will randomly pop up. So I'm gonna take that night just in case something does pop up. Then I'm not screwed over with getting it done with just three days. Sorry! But see you Saturday! :)
