Chapter 4

(Carter's POV)

"What do you mean you we are going out? We have to find Sadie and get out of here! There is absolutely no time to waste, Carter!" Zia said annoyed.

Carter sighed deeply. "Well, Zia I was hoping that maybe that this guy Percy could help us. I mean he seemed just as concerned as we are and I think that he could help."

"This is not like you." Zia argued back, "You usually do not ask for a stranger's help."

"I know but I need to find Sadie. She's my sister and pretty much my only family besides Amos."

Zia stared a Carter for a while "Ok. We will go. But first, did you noticed anything suspicious about the boy?"

Carter tilted his head a little in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I mean was there anything about him that threw you off."

"Ummm... well yeah. He had an aura that was different. And he smelled a lot like the ocean. Why?"

"Because Carter, we are in the middle of Rome and there are..." Zia suddenly stopped talking.

"There are what?"

"There are..." She took a deep breath. "There are rival gods here. Roman gods."

"You mean such as Jupiter and Venus and Neptune and..."

"Stop! You don't have to say them all! But yes, gods such as them. The House of Life and these gods must be separate so that we don't end up fighting."

Carter had to think about this for a little. If they did end up fighting, that could mean HUGE trouble for the House of Life and he didn't need any more trouble right now.

"But I think we should go." Zia said interrupting Carter's thoughts.

"Seriously?"

"Yes. I want to find Sadie just as much as you do, Carter"

"Ok then. I guess let's go have a meet and greet with the neighbors."

(Percy POV)

Percy was walking back over to the hotel the Seven were staying at, The Eurogarden. It was just outside of Rome but fairly easy to walk to. Leo said it would be the perfect place to hide the ship for a couple of days because of all the trees and greenery. What was even better was the fact that there was a lot of Mist so that they could hide it away from mortal eyes.

Percy wouldn't say that agreeing with a guy he had just met and asking him to meet him so that help could help him find his sister (and hopefully Nico), who was somewhere within Rome, was a bad idea but he figured that he decision wouldn't sit well with Annabeth.

And for the first time in his life, he was right.

"Are you crazy?" Annabeth asked, slightly angry. Well, take that back. She was furious. "You don't even know this boy. He could very well be a monster. And even if he wasn't and could help us, we don't have the time. We need to find Nico and start heading our way towards Greece. what were you thinking?"

Percy sighed deeply. "I don't know. Maybe he could help us find Nico. We need all the help we can get right now, Annabeth."

"I understand that but he doesn't even know what is actually going on. He's just a mortal."

"To be honest, I don't think he's a mortal."

"And what makes you say that?" Annabeth questioned with her hands on her hips.

"Because Annabeth, he had an aura around him. It wasn't necessarily Greek or Roman, but..."

"What do you mean it wasn't Greek or Roman, Percy?" Annabeth asked, interrupting him.

"What I just told you. I don't know what type of aura he had but it was powerful."

"And you think because of his aura, he's going to help us find Nico faster?"

"Yes. Now I told to him come over here around five."

Annabeth started pacing back and forth, "Yes. I remember you saying that."

"His girlfriend is coming with him too."

Annabeth sighed in furstration. "Ok," She looked at her watch. "Right now it's 4:30. I guess I'll go get ready for them."

"Me too. And thank you for trusting me for once."

"Yeah, Yeah, whatever. I just hope you are right about this."

"Trust me. Everything will be alright," Percy Kissed Annabeth on the cheek. "Now let's get ready for a meeting with some hopefully new friends."

A/N: the next one will be posted either today or early tomorrow. I promise. c:
