A/N: Here is a long chapter for you. Please read the Authors Note at the end it is really important.
Fabian POV:
We had just landed in the clearing. Patricia and Nico threw up. Being children of Hades they don't do well with water travel. Anyway we sat down carefully to make sure we weren't seen by the teachers or students.
"Nico what was the line again?" Nina asked.
"In the tunnel you will meet."
"And we where are we supposed to find a tunnel?"
"Well, Yacker, how about the Frobisher Tunnel, down in the cellar?"
"Genius, Eddie. Let's go."
"Fabian what about Victor or amulets?"
"There is more than one way in."
We ran to the library, which took no less than thirty seconds. Nico was fascinated when I turned the book case and climbed in. We walked until we got to where the spider test happened last term. Just then Sarah jumped from Nina's arms, and ran in to a small hole. Remember the one where Alfie was trapped right before he and Amber broke up? (The first time.) Before Nina or I could run to her, Eddie, being the best uncle ever, was already inside trying to find her. Nina was shaking. Then her locket lit up. Before we could question it, Eddie called us.
"Sis, I think Sarah found something"
We all crawled in. This time it was much cleaner, less bugs, but unfortunately for Patricia plenty of human feet. There were six of us including Sarah. As we got closer a spot on the wall was glowing.
"Nina your locket."
"Thanks Patricia. Here Eddie."
She took it off and handed it up to him. A door opened. We entered and we able to stand. The room was dark and felt cave like. The only light came from Nina's locket and Sarah. She was glowing. I picked her up and kissed her head. I noticed in her hand was a small statue.
"Can you give that to daddy?"
She handed it to me.
"Hey that looks like my dad. Looks like we are on the right path path."
"Nico why don't you hold on to it."
"Yacker's right, we need to keep it we might have to trade it for the artifact"
"Very true Eddie, the line said "you will meet", so we have to keep going."
A loud crash was heard. I turned we were caved in.
"Looks like forward is the only way to go."
Patricia POV:
We merged forward into a dark room. It was quiet, too quiet.
"Does anyone else feel like it's too quiet in here?"
"It does seem as if Jerome and Alfie were planning a massive prank.
"Yeah Neens, Jerry always has a least one major flaw in his plans."
"Anyway we are looking for someone."
"Like me." Came a squeaky spooky voice. Nina screamed, and Fabian held her.
"Show yourself. I demand you"
"Very well Osirian if I must."
"Who are you?"
"Well Trixie, can I call you that?"
"No"
"I am a ghost. Lavinia Peters, daughter of Anubis. I am here sent by my father to help you. So once you leave here go to the airport. Make sure to stop at the ice cream shop"
"How do we leave"
"Oh I almost forgot, here are you tickets, Trixie, you better leave, you flight leaves soon.
We ran out of the passage. We quickly caught a cab. Once we were at the airport and all checked in, we had a little time. I remembered we were supposed to go the ice cream shop.
"Nina you coming?"
We went over to the counter. Of course we didn't actually want but, there was some reason we were asked to go. We had Sarah so we had to get her ice cream. The lady at the counter gave Nina one look.
"Chosen One."
She handed us a small cup of Ice cream.
"For the little one."
We returned just as I saw the cup light up.
"Nina the cup!"
We raced towards the boys.
"We got it, it a cup."
"Sis, that's a mini replica of dad's Helm of Darkness."
"Then we got it."
"Neen's we have to board."
We got on the plan. Somehow we got first class tickets. I think it's because of the helm or necklace, Nina sat with Fabian and Sarah, while Eddie and I sat with Nico. When we landed it was pitch black. I was about to get my phone to call a cab, when a twelve passenger van pulled up. Percy and Annabeth were sitting in the van.
"How'd you know to come?"
"Your boyfriend might have called."
We all climbed in and drove to Empire State building. Nina, Nico, Eddie, and Percy ran inside with Sarah. The rest of us waited in the car.
Percy POV:
We darted inside. In the elevator, Nina filled me in on what happened in Liverpool.
"Wow we had the crazy, and now you add creepy too."
"Shut it Perce"
We entered Olympus through the gate. Nico ran over to his father's temple. He tried to put the piece in the gate, but it wouldn't go in.
"Nico doesn't the line say Athena's daughter puts the pieces in the door?"
Nina walked over and placed the helm into the box. It glowed a sparkly black. Then the sparkle danced over the temple, which now was shiny and new. Just then Hades walked out. He looked to Nico and then to me and said, "why is it always you, nephew when the saving is needed?"
"I don't know, why is it you gods we are always saving?"
"Well played, but now go and save your father, and then your "great" uncle, or he'll be mad."
"Thank you."
"Nico tell Patricia, her twin is safe, and will be protected under Egyptian power. Treat her well Osirian, Edison son of Athena.
Thankfully Hades left right after that.
"Nina, Eddie that was Hades, Nico and Patricia's father."
"Wow"
"So looks like we are up to Poseidon."
"We exited the building and go back in the car."
"So?" I got in and kissed Annabeth on the cheek and sat down next to her.
"Well Wise Girl looks like your Seaweed Brain is getting his Seaweed back."
"Great, but I don't trust you alone, in England."
"Annabeth you want to take my place? I'll sit this one out,"
"Are you sure Patricia?"
"Yeah why not, besides I have a twin who needs a talking to."
"Sis am I being dragged along?"
"Yup"
"Perce are you friends coming over or are you going to their house?"
I looked back at my friends and said, "Well, what should we do?"
"How about we go to your house, and if we end up sleeping will figure it out then."
"We do live next door so Fabian and I won't have a hard time dragging our girlfriends next door."
In the end we didn't stay, we did go to England. Nico had flashed us all there, and then he and Patricia went to find Piper.
"Percy what your line again?"
"Which one, Wise Girl is my hottie or…"
"What?"
"I'm kidding"
"No you're not"
"Will a kiss make you feel better?"
"Percy the other one."
"Fine, 'By the sea you will plead'"
"So where would the closest sea be?"
"Not sure, we might have to ask."
I looked to Fabian. We laughed.
"We have three children of Athena and they need help."
"Well Seaweed Brain, we are looking for your domain, water, who's the dumb one now?"
"You are also forgetting that none of us have our powers, and we are all Amercians."
We all turned to Fabian who was trying to keep from Nina's eye.
"There is only one way to get in without being noticed. School starts in 10 minutes so we need to figure this out soon."
"Eddie dad won't be available for a while. We need a way to sneak in. I have a plan. Follow me."
Nina POV:
We got in a cab, and drove to the shopping center. We went in to Dramatic Arts. It's a store that sells everything you need for a school play, and other costumes and supplies. Lucky for us no one was there except the manger.
"Hey, Tiff can we use the back room?"
"Why not Neens."
We entered.
"Now Chosen One will you explain?"
"Yes. So basically we need a fake identity. This is just so we can pass through the school, and around."
"What kinds of clothes are we going for?"
"How about typical but not to simple?"
"Nice idea Wise Girl."
I went to get Tiffany. She came in with a large bucket of stuff.
"Ok, Nina you good?"
"Thanks."
"So, for Sarah we'll leave her the way she is. So Fabian let's start with you."
Fabian sat down on the stool. I placed a bald cap on his head and placed a dark wig on his head. I made his put blue colored contacts in. He changed into a tee, and button down shirt left open. For Eddie I did the same just I darkened his face slightly. For Percy I gave his a red wig, and made his hair slightly spiky. He wore a three button lose top. Annabeth I straightened her hair and put pink streaks through the back. She wore a tight blue tank top, and leggings, with combat boots. I darkened her eye lashes and did her makeup Patricia style. For me I just put on a pretty, light brown, ringlet wig. I then put a few of the curls half back. I wore a tight pencil skirt and a single sleeve top. I looked about twenty. I looked professional.
We left the room and got a cab to the school. Of course when we got there it was close to ten and my dad was teaching. Eddie and Percy were outside if they needed to stop a monster. Annabeth, Fabian and I walked into the school, and we went to the science lab. The bell rang. My dad opened the door and all the students walked out. We entered.
"Dad."
"Nina?"
"Yeah can we talk?"
"I have another class in a minute."
"Fabian will sub."
"Fabian?"
"Yeah why not I am highest point average of the grade."
"Sure let's go to my office."
We walked down the hall, Fabian stayed behind.
"So Nina, what's up?"
"We are looking for the closet lake, or river."
"Do you know where we might find one?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Annabeth."
"Sorry. Anyway, the closest lake would be you know in the forest, how it gets very damp in one area? Well if you go further there is a small lake."
"Thanks dad."
"Now before you go I must give you something."
He handed me a locket. On the outside an owl was engraved. Inside was a picture of him, Fabian, and Eddie.
"So you know we are always on your side."
We left and within five minutes, Fabian was out front with us.
"So did you find water?"
"Yeah we're going into the forest"
We quickly ran deep into the forest. It was getting really muddy and swampy. We were getting close. I saw the lake. As I got closer I realized that it wasn't there. All of a sudden it started to thunder. Rain poured down and the wind blew. Fabian and Eddie took off their cardigans and wrapped them around Sarah. It got really cold and dark. I sat down, Percy and Annabeth were right behind me. Percy walked into the water. It turned a red color. Annabeth pulled him out. I started to cry. This was getting crazy.
"Why. We need to save the gods. All we are do is trying to help them. Please help me, and keep us safe."
Then a light blue glow came from the center of the lake. Help was on it's way.
