"Come on you three, wake up, you do want a warm shower right?"
Jason opened his eyes, sun was shinning in though the windows, Leo was trying to fall back asleep, his face twisted as the boy shouted again
"Get up! It's our time to use the showers and we don't want the water to run cold, then after breakfast we have a cabin inspection"
Leo groaned and sat up, his curly black hair in his eyes, he rubbed his face with his hand and looked over to Piper who had got up and sat on his bed
"We'll be over there in that round building" The boy said, pointing out the door. He left
"They is NO way on earth I am getting in the shower with boys!" Piper said
"Well go in with Leo, he's not male" Jason laughed.
Leo looked at Jason, they had went swimming together at school a few times but take a show with him? It looked like Jason was thinking the same
"Leo, you're quick, go look and see if these showers have doors" Jason said
Leo got up and walked out the door but he came back in
"Guys, they are people coming out of the trees" he said, but Jason walked with him to the shower room
"Quick look" Jason said
Leo peered in the room
"They have doors but they small" he said
"Than, we'll wait till everyone's finished" Jason led the way back to the cabin. Piper was waiting at the door
"We'll wait a bit" Leo told her, she nodded
"Where do we go for breakfast?" Piper said, looking around. As they didn't know they followed a group of people back into the main camp, the people in the group didn't look too friendly.
The leader turned and blocked the way, forcing Piper, Leo and Jason to stop
"Ohh we have new campers, do you know what we do to new campers? Their heads meet the toilet" The leader was a girl, about 19 she was very ugly and had muscles to match a man
"You know what they should do here? Exercise programs, maybe you will drop a size or five" Piper said, eyeing Clarisse's size XXXXL t-shirt
Clarisse pulled out a spear and aimed it right at Piper, she jabbed it near Piper's stomach but Jason was faster, he reached into his pocket and took out his coin, flipped it and his golden sword was cutting up the spear before it hit Piper.
"What! That was my third spear you punk" Clarisse ran at Jason fists aimed at his head, it felt second nature to raise his sword up and he slashed at the girl, she fell back with a cry of pain as the sword bit into her.
Her cabin mates ran at Leo and Piper, before any of his friends could get hurt Jason raised his hand; he felt a wind rise up and knock them all over
"Jason" Leo cried in shock "Where did you learn to do that?"
The cabin got back to their feet and carried the girl to the main house, she had a deep slash in her stomach, her blood was gushing out all over the floor
"I don't know, it was like yesterday when I saved Piper, I floated in the air" Jason flipped his sword and in mid air it changed back into a coin
"Where did you get that from? It's a magic item, no doubt your father gave it to you" a bossy voice accused
Jason turned to see the girl from last night
"I don't know who my father is" Jason told her, she just looked back at him with her gray eyes
"My mother is Athena, goddess of wisdom, don't lie to me, I know that you are lying, you do know who your father is"
"Seriously, what is your problem?" Leo asked her "its Annabel isn't it? Last night you attacked me with a knife and now you are claiming Jason is a lair"
"It's Annabeth and he is lying, he knows something about Percy and he's keeping quite about it" Annabeth glared at Jason before adding "Chiron wants to see you now"
She pointed over to the main house, Jason put his coin back into his pocket and walked to the main house, Leo and Piper followed him
"Chiron wants to see him alone, you two will go get breakfast" Annabeth pointed to an outdoor building, to Leo and Piper it looked like loads of picnic tables inside a gold and white marble building
"I'll be ok, go save me a seat" Jason called back to them, he walked up to the centaur
"You wanted me?" Jason didn't know if he was meant to call him Sir or My Lord
"Yes" The centaur called Chiron said "Please sit down, I want to talk to you"
Jason sat on the little white chair, looking at the man
"I just saw what you did to Clarisse and I would like to see that coin please" He held out his hand
"She deserved it and it's mine, your not having it" Jason felt an unexplained hatered to this man and he didn't trust him at all.
"I don't want it, I just want a look please" Jason narrowed his eyes and looked into the man's, they looked honest enough
"Very well" Jason took the coin from his pocket but kept hold of it, than put it in his pocket again
"You've seen it now" he added sourly
Chiron was annoyed at Jason's behaviour but he ignored it, he tried to read Jason's mind but to his surprise it was blank, as though he was blocking Chiron out
"Jason…You are sure you don't know who your father is?" Chiron asked, examming Jason's face for any sign of a betray of emotion
"I am sure, can I go now? My friends will be worried" Jason stood up and Chiron nodded to say it was alright to go
Jason had entered the dinning pavilion before Chiron spoke again
"What do you think of him?"
The air flicked next to Chiron and Annabeth appeared next to him pulling off her cap
"Hiding something"
Dionysus walked out the big house and sat next to Chiron
"The boy tensed up when you asked about his father, did you notice?" Dionysus opened a can of Coke
"Yes, I believe the boy to be hiding something too, also I get the feeling I've seen him before today, he is not who he says he is"
Annabeth looked from Mr D to Chiron
"But who is he?"
"Annabeth dear, go get some food, you will be hungry if you don't and you wont be able to concentrate if you are hungry" Chiron smiled at her and she knew it would do no good to argue but she tried
"Chiron please, who is he?"
"Go along now Annabeth" Chiron said, Annabeth knew she had to leave but as she walked over to the dining pavilion she was thinking of the conversation
Back at the main house Dionysus turned to Chiron
"The gods shall be informed about the boy being here, I shall get back to you when they make a decision"
Chiron nodded and started a game of cards with the god
"He can act very well; he seems to have convinced the other two with him that they're his friends"
Dionysus places a few cards down on the table and collected a few plastic coins
"Do you think the boy and girl are in on it too?"
Chiron remembered the elfish boy's blank eyes and the temper of the girl
"I don't know, I am sure The Mist has clouded their eyes but they could be acting"
"I will let the gods know of them too, if the gods choose to kill them, three less demigods, you could look cheerful about that, Chiron"
"I am thinking of Hermes, another lose for him" Chiron muttered, looking through his cards and laying three down on the table
"Hermes has this thing for producing demented children" Dionysus picked up Chiron's cards "He'll get over it"
Dionysus stood up and vanished
Dionysus appeared on Olympus, he had been summoned to a meeting of the gods, he walked up to the highest building, outside were two men
"Mother Rhea let you get eaten, you know why that was?"
"Yes, she didn't want father to eat something as horrible as you!"
"No, she loves me more"
"She will never love you more than me, you are weak, she didn't want you in father's stomach as you would never come back out again"
"You would not be here if it wasn't for me"
"I would have gotten them out, without your help"
"Really what with? Father's ribs?"
"Hello father, Uncle" Dionysus said to Zeus and Poseidon
"You're late" was his father's answer.
Dionysus walked inside the room, inside were twelve thrones, he grow until he was five meters high, he sat on the twelfth throne, next to him the throne on his left looked empty, the one next to it a young boy sat grinning across the room to his twin sister, next to him was Ares, than Hephaestus than two empty thrones, Hera sat on the throne next to Demeter, Aphrodite and Athena to her left. Artemis sat on the last chair on the female side, she had a disapproving look on her face but her face softened a little as Apollo called across the room
"Artemis, Mother Leto loves me better, she just told me" and he held up his I-pod, all the gods smiled apart from Hera, whose eyes flashed at Apollo, who fell silent at once.
The doors reopened and Zeus came in followed by Poseidon, both gods looked quite happy again, Zeus sat down in the biggest throne and Poseidon in a throne that looked like a fisherman's chair.
Zeus looked around the room to make sure they were all there, his eyes stopped briefly on the eleventh throne.
"I have called an emergency meeting as a problem has arisen; the problem as I have learnt from Dionysus is now at Camp Half Blood"
Zeus looked at Dionysus, who nodded
"We believe that is to say me and Chiron that the boy is dangerous, you all should know what he did by now, however he seems to have got some friends with him to. I don't think I need to point out what happened last time a dangerous demigod got friends on his side"
He stopped and looked to the empty throne next to him as though he was waiting for something, when nothing happened he went on
"The two friends of his are Leo Valdez and Piper surname currently unknown as she wont tell us" Dionysus said Leo's name slowly and turned again to the empty throne
"I believe we should stamp out the problem right now" Dionysus said coldly
"Well I don't" Artemis stood up off her throne and looked at Zeus
"Father we have proved before we should not judge our heroes until they do wrong, remember Percy, a few in this room wanted to kill him and he turned out to be a hero, we should not kill Jason, Leo or Piper unless they show themselves to be a danger, I will not see these young heroes come to harm"
She sat back down
"The thing is Jason has proved himself to be a danger Artemis" Poseidon told her
"Yes but Leo hasn't" Came a dull voice
He had been curled up on his throne but slowly he sat up and put his hand on his head as though he had a headache.
So much change had come over Hermes he was almost unrecognizable, his skin was white and his blue eyes were red and dull, his black curly hair was the same but now Hermes looked no older than fourteen, his caduceus fell to the floor as he brought his legs up and he put his head into his knees, a change had happened to his caduceus too, the snakes didn't move, they lay on the floor all their scales dull and white. It looked like they had died.
Zeus looked at his son with sympathy, Hermes shouldn't really be here but as the gods have to vote he had to be there.
"We shall vote on the matter" Zeus said the the room "All in favor of destroying the demigod called Jason"
All hands went up apart from Artemis and Hermes (who didn't move at all)
"Very well, the demigod will be sent for"
"All in favor for destroying the two other demigods who may be helping him" Zeus said "I repet. May be"
Hermes stomach clenched, he didn't move to look
All hands went up apart from Poseidon, Apollo, Artemis and Hermes
"The two demigods will also be called for, you will all help bring them in, even you Hermes. This meeting is over"
Zeus stood and walked out, slowly the room started to empty apart from Hermes who didn't want to move, he wished he could die but it was impossible, gods don't die, he would go on like this for ever. He felt a little sorry for the demigod who was his son, as he had been sentenced to death for something he may not do, but he has never meet him, this demigod wasn't Luke after all.
His eyes watered as he remembered Luke's body in the hands of the fates…
"Come on, you can't stay here"
Someone was tugging at his leg; he slowly dried his eyes and jumped down next to Apollo
"I'm fine" he said
Hermes picked his Caduceus off the floor and it turned smaller, he stuck it in his pocket and walked out before Apollo could say another word.
Outside was Dionysus, Hermes felt anger rise inside of him and he ran at Dionysus, knocking him over and tried to strangle him
"Stop that at once!" Someone shouted, Hermes felt a electric shock and rolled off Dionysus at once, panting for air
Dionysus stood up
"Now I know were dear Luke got it from" He laughed as Hermes made to attack him again but Zeus held him back
"It'll be better this time, you'll get to say goodbye to Leo" Dionysus continued to provoke Hermes "Why did you strangle me for? Oh yes, I forgot, you've lost the will to live and your powers have broke…didn't that happen to your other son Pan? You're not a good father at all dear Hermes, maybe you should crawl back to your mother Maia"
"You get back to the camp" Zeus shouted "Send the demigods here tomorrow"
Dionysus grinned evilly at Hermes before returning to camp to deliver three death sentences to Chiron.
