AN: In the last chapter I called Orion Ouranos and that was wrong so sorry about that! Sorry this took so long…. Life's a bitch.
I finally woke up. I slowly opened my eyes and I was greeted by the sight of a beat up Alex being led out of a room. She had two black eyes, bruises all over her face, and she was cut up. I struggled to get to her, but I had been tied up with chains to a chair.
"ALEX!" I cried.
"Our "savior" awakes," chuckled my father.
"Fuck off," I retorted.
"Now is that how you want to treat your father?" he replied.
"Yes!" I spat and hacked a lugie at him and it hit his eye, "and so is that."
Orion turned bright red and stalked off, probably trying not to kill me. I looked over at Alex and she had nodded off to sleep. I began to try and untie the knots that bound me, but to no avail.
"That won't work," I heard a weary voice say. I looked in the direction the voice came from and I saw a beat up Thalia, "I already tried that."
"But are you the son of the goddess of the moon when the moon is shining right down on you?" I asked, nodding towards the open windows and the full moon.
She shook her head and I got back to work. I began to pull and twist the rope, trying to get it to bend to my will. It began to fray, giving me a small ray of hope in my otherwise shit-filled life. Finally the final thread in the rope gave way and I freed my hands. Then I began to work on my legs as Thalia cheered me on with her eyes.
I, finally, freed my legs and I was going over to work on Thalia when I heard voices. I froze and did a deer in the headlights impression and then looked at Thalia.
"Go hide!" she whispered urgently, "wait for the right time."
I jumped over the couch and landed with a small thud on the ground. I dropped down to the floor and rolled under the couch, covering my spot with a dropped pillow. When the men came in my heart beat so hard that I thought they could hear it from across the room.
"So then he said- wait where is the kid?" he exclaimed panicking.
"That's not funny," his partner complained.
"That's no the joke you idiot!" the first guy snapped, "Orion's kid is gone!"
"He is going to kill us!" the other man shouted.
"Now why would I do that?" I heard Orion ask, "Is it because my son is missing? Well, go find him!!"
I heard the men frantically searching the room. They were upending furniture, pushing stuff aside, and asking Thalia and Alex where I was. I heard someone sigh heavily, walk to the couch, and sit right above me. The couch pushed down as he sat down and it stopped an inch before hitting my head.
I slowly began to slide out from under the couch. I ended up right behind my father, ignoring the two giants searching the balcony. I slid a knife out from my back and put it right up against his throat. My father shot a quick glance at me and then he began to laugh loudly.
"Shut up or I slit your throat," I threatened quietly. He didn't quiet down and when I tried to slit his throat a force pushed my knife away.
"You cannot kill me," Orion taunted.
"Watch me," I muttered and I threw two arrows at Thalia that cut through her ropes and freed her.
He stood up and his twin swords appeared in his hands again. He charged me, but I quickly deflected his slashes and jabbed between his arms for the kill. He slashed down on my arm and cut through my armor. I jumped back, wary now. I threw my knife at him, but he dove out of the way.
Orion seemed to know my moves before I even made them. I feigned an attack at his left and slashed at his right arm, but his sword was already knocking me away.
Get in the moonlight, A voice whispered in my head, he will not be able to penetrate your mind with your mother beside you.
I decided that I couldn't hurt so I jumped over the couch and rolled into the light. Now when I threw my arrow at him he did not move out of the way in time and it stuck to his arm. He looked at me in surprise and I felt a force pounding my mind. Orion looked at me in frustration and tried over and over again.
I was about to throw another arrow when I noticed that red blood did not come from his arm, but Ichor, the golden blood of the gods. Giants only had red blood not Ichor.
"Ouranos," (AN: Now you know why I called him Ouranos!) I muttered angry that I had not realized Ouranos was using Orion's body until he had his own.
"It took you long enough young half-blood!" Ouranos replied, "Now come out of the light and stop letting your mother fight your battles."
"I'm a half-blood you're a Titan! I think it evens it out," I exclaimed and loosed three arrows heading straight at his head.
His sword cut all of the arrows in half and he began to advance on me. Instead of running away I did the stupidest thing in my life, I charged him. He laughed when he saw a small half-blood running at him, but I dodged past his sword and cut him in the leg. Ichor flowed out, but it didn't seem to faze him.
"Cut him in the heart!" Alex screamed. I looked over at her and I saw that she and Thalia were fighting off two giants.
I lunged at Ouranos's chest, but he was wary of me now. I tried again and again only to be hit down by his swords. This time I threw on of my knives at his head and he swerved to avoid it, but I was already sprinting at him. I jumped up and brought my knife down onto his chest.
