Annabeth's pov
I quickly jumped out of my bed when the prison alarm sounded. "Every get up." I shouted as I threw on my armor and grabbed my weapons. My sibling jumped out of bed and did the same.
"Annabeth what is it?" Malcom asked.
"The prison alarm. Come on." I ran out the cabin and to the prison. My sibling close behind me. When we reached the prison I ran to the door but stopped when I step in a puddle. I look down and see that puddle is a dark red. I look at the door and see the red liquid flowing underneath the door. "Oh my gods."
"Annabeth." Malcom called.
I turn and face him. "What is it Malcom?"
"The border patrol just called in..." Malcom replied. "they report that there is no sign of intruders or monsters and that The hunters of Artemis are here.
Great what perfect timing. "Malcom tell the border patrol to tell the hunters to get to the prison. Then call the children of Apollo, something bad happened and we're going to need them."
"Of course." Malcom replied. He lifted up his arm and spoke into his bracelet. "Border patrol, tell the hunters that Annabeth needs them to report to the prison. Tell them it's an emergency. Apollo children hurry to the prison something awful has happened and you are need."
After several excruciating minutes the hunters of Artemis and children of Apollo arrive at the prison.
Thalia ran up to. "Annabeth what happened?"
"I… I don't know the alarm went off and when I got here I found blood seeping out from under the door." I whispered. "Come on we have to find Percy."
Thalia nods and signals the hunters to follow her. I open the door and immediately we see the most horrific scene. Bodies littered the hall while the floor was soaked with blood.
"Oh my gods… what happened in here?" Thalia whispers.
Some of my sibling gaged when they saw the place and ran out. I couldn't blame them I felt like doing the same but I had to find Percy. We all drew our weapons and searched every cell and every hallway. We came up to the last hall way when I saw a familiar being lying on the floor. "CHIRON!" I ran over to his side.
Chiron weakly looked up. "Annabeth…"
"Medic we need a medic over here." I shouted over my shoulder. "Oh my gods Chiron what happened to you…" I cried.
"Annabeth." Chiron whispered. "Percy ...did this"
What? No… no Percy would never do this. He wouldn't, he couldn't. I thought to myself.
"Annabeth!" Thalia shouted. I turned and she was kneeling next to a body. I ran to her side and I saw a face that I have known for years, Nico. "He's… He's dead."
No, oh no Percy what did you do. I turned back to Chiron, who was being taken care of by Will Solace. "Will, will Chiron be alright?"
"Yes he'll be fine Annabeth." Will looked at Nico's body behind me. "Does he need any medical attention?"
A shake my head and look down. "No he's dead. Are there any others alive?"
"No they were all killed."
"What is the death toll?" I quietly ask
Will closes his eyes and looks down. "twenty nine counting Nico, Annabeth what kind if monster could have done this?"
I sadly shake my head. "No Will not a monster, just Percy… just Percy." I look around and see the children of Apollo covering up all the bodies. They have their job and I have mine. The others must be warned." I walk over to the Iris message fountain in the prison and throw in a drachma. "Oh iris goddess of Rainbows show me Reyna and Jason at Camp Jupiter." The mist shimmered and Reyna's and Jason's faces appear.
Jason looked in the Iris message and he looked really irritated, so did Reyna. "Hey Annabeth what's so important that you have to call in the middle of the night?" Jason complained.
"Have a look." I stepped aside from the Iris message so Jason and Reyna could see. Immediately they became wide awake. Their faces filled with horror. Jason threw up right there and then.
"Good gods Annabeth." Reyna shouted. "What happened?"
"An attack by one of our own, he was guarding the prisoners tonight and he slaughtered them. Every single one, he even killed Nico." I angrily said. "Jason, Reyna whatever you do, you can't let Percy into Camp Jupiter. If you see him you have to capture him."
Jason raised his hands in front of him, gesturing a pause. "Hold up a sec Annabeth are you saying Perce did this?"
"Yes... No… Maybe so… I don't know"
"The Percy that save Olympus twice, the slayer of Kronos and the Slayer of Gaia?" Jason said shocked.
"maybe, I don't know all I know is that I came to the prison and found the place filled with bodies and coated in blood."
"Great Hades how could Percy do something like that?" Reyna asked.
"I don't know. I wish I knew."
Poseidon's pov
Zeus called an emergency meeting to Olympus. Every god was required to attend, even Hades and he only was allowed on the winter solstice.
I flashed to the Olympian throne room and found everyone already there. Zeus was sitting on his throne, his elbow rested on his knee and his head rested in his hand. He looked like he was in a deep thought.
Hera saw me and nudged Zeus. He looked up, his looked grim. "Poseidon it's about time you got here. Hurry up and take your seat, there are matters that must be attended to."
I was about to open my mouth to say something but then I realized it probably wasn't the best decision.
"So brother why did you call this emergency meeting?" I curiously ask.
Zeus looked at me half angry and half sad. "I called this meeting Poseidon… because of your son."
Many of the gods were taken aback by this. "What did he do father?" Athena asked.
"He killed twenty nine demigods. Even Hades' son, Nico." Zeus whispered.
There was an eerie silence in the throne room. I looked at Hades and he was just staring at the ground. His eyes darker than normal. "Zeus you must be mistaken Percy would never…"
Zeus held up his hand. "But he did Poseidon, we have a witness, Chiron. Apparently Chiron heard screaming coming from the prison so he went to check it out and he found Percy holding his sword…"
"That doesn't mean he…" I interrupted.
"He was covered in blood Poseidon. Hades' son lay dead at his feet and he was smiling like he enjoyed it." Zeus shouted. "As of today Percy Jackson shall be hunted down. Try to bring him to Olympus, but if he attacks you… you have to kill him."
"NO" I jump out of my throne. "Brother you can't."
"As king of the gods I can. This meeting is dismissed." Zeus shouted.
Many of the gods looked around stunned before they flashed out. Everyone except Hera, Zeus and Poseidon leave. Zeus got up and was about to walk about. "Brother wait! Might I have a private word with you?"
"Fine. Hera, could you please leave." Zeus calmly said.
"Of course." Hera replied. She got up and walked away.
"Brother please do not kill my son?" I pleaded. "He means everything to me."
Zeus looked grim. "I know Poseidon I don't want to either but killing 29 demigods is going too far."
"Please let me speak to him… and if he attacks me then… then you can kill him." I choke out the last few words.
"Very well Poseidon talk to Percy, reason with him and maybe we can bring him home."
I give Zeus a small smile. "Thank you Zeus." I quickly flash out in search for my son.
Zeus's pov
I surprised myself by agreeing to let Poseidon talk to his son before he is brought to Olympus and killed. After Poseidon left I collapsed into my throne and buried my face in my hands. After a while I feel a soft hand on my shoulder. I look up and see my wife Hera.
"What do you want Hera?" I angrily asked her.
Hera sat down in her throne. "I saw what you did for Poseidon. That is so unlike you, normally it's whatever you say goes. So Zeus why did you do it?"
I sigh and searched my thoughts for the answer. "I don't know Hera, I guess it's because I am hoping." I pause.
"Hoping what Zeus? Are you hoping that Percy didn't do this?"
"Yes. I mean how could a hero like Percy killed 29 nine demigods, especially Hades' son Nico, Percy thought of him as a brother. So why would he kill him?" I turn to look at my wife. "Hera do you think I'm going crazy."
Hera softly smiles. "No I think you're doing the right thing."
I look up to the sky. "I just hope we can get some answers. I think I'm going for a walk. Good Night Hera."
"Good night Zeus." Hera gets up and leaves. After she leaves I get up and walk around Olympus trying to sort out my thoughts.
