Chapter 6 is up! Artemis will come in this chapter! I do NOT own Percy Jackson and the others. Percy's POV

"Make her stop!" Nico and Thalia yelled at me with their hands covering their ears.

"I'm trying! She won't stop!" I yelled back, trying to get Zoe to stop crying.

Please shut up, I thought. I rocked her around in my arms.

Bianca was in her crib watching us with wide eyes and was laughing at us.

"Is she hungry or what? Does she need a diaper change?" Nico was frantically looking around for her pacifier.

"Over there! Near the crib! No, the other one," Thalia screamed at him while pointing at the pacifier.

"I found it!" Nico jumped with joy and handed it to me. I quickly put it in her mouth and she sucked on it.

We sighed with relief.

She finally stopped.

"Now that she stopped we should really go, Percy. The funeral's in 30 minutes! We're going to be late!" Nico reminded me.

I got in a suit and put a tie on. Nico wore a suit too and Thalia had a black dress on. But she didn't complain.

I got Zoe and Nico got Bianca. We got a cab and left. It was a really quiet ride.

Thalia was staring out the window, Nico was fiddling with his hands, and I was just watching everyone.

When we arrived, everyone else was there already. We sat down.

"She's here, you know? She's standing right next to you." Nico whispered next to me, obviously talking about mom. I turned to my right and saw no one.

Then I realized that I couldn't see her. She's . . . dead. Only Nico could see her.

Lucky.

"Peerrccyyyy," Grover came over and gave me hug.

"Thalia told me everything. You ok?" He asked with concern.

I tried to smile but it came out more as a grimace.

BOOM!

The building behind us exploded. People were screaming and they swarmed out.

Gunshots were heard all around and I didn't see my friends anywhere.

"Guys! Where are you?" I pushed my way through the crowd. Where did Grover go to? People pushed past me and I ran.

"Thalia, where are you? Grover?" Then I saw a little girl crying over at a corner.

I ran over to her when I heard a gunshot. I felt pain all over me and I heard a scream.

Then I realized it was me.

Nico's POV

I ran around searching for Percy then I froze. My blood went cold and shivers went down my spine.

"Nico, why did you stop?" Thalia was by my side.

"Percy. I-I feel him dying." I whispered so low I could barely hear myself.

Thalia froze.

"What? That's not possible! He has the curse of Achilles, remember?"

She muttered talking more to herself than to me.

"We have to find him. Quick." We went separate ways so we could find him faster.

"Percy! Where are you?"

Where are you?

Thalia's POV

Where is he? I looked around frantically. Kelp head, where are you?

I just lost Sally; I'm not losing him too.

"Don't worry Zoe. We'll find him." I told her. I held her tight, scared I might lose her in the crowd. She whimpered and cried a little.

"Thalia, there you are!" I turned around to see Luke.

He was sweating and looking around.

"Luke, we have to find Percy." He nodded and we searched for him. Then I spotted him.

He was unconscious and bleeding badly. We ran over to him and turned him over.

His eyes fluttered open and coughed up blood.

"Percy we're gonna get you help. Hold on." I promised and helped him up.

There weren't so many people now and we found all our friends.

They looked at Percy and gasped.

"What happened?" Selena asked, not liking what she sees.

I shrugged and said, "I don't know. We have to get him help but I don't think the doctors can do anything."

I felt helpless right now. My friend/cousin was dying and I couldn't do anything about it.

Then Luke spoke, "The gods can help him." We all stared at him and I slowly nodded.

"We have to go to Olympus."

The empire state building was not far.

It was getting dark and there weren't a lot of people.

Clarisse, Rachel, Selena, Beckondorf, and Chris said they'll wait outside.

I told Rachel to hold Zoe and Bianca for me.

Nico, Grover, Luke, and I brought Percy in. I went over to the desk manager and said, "We need to go to Olympus. It's urgent."

"There's no such thing as Olympus, little girl." Now I was getting mad.

Little Girl?

"Look here! My friend is dying and the gods won't be happy to see the savior of Olympus dead." His eyes widened and glanced at Percy.

He gulped and handed me the key. I snatched it from him and went in the elevator.

Percy was breathing heavily and was really pale.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened and we got out.

"We're here, Percy. You're going to live." Nico said even though Percy was unconscious.

I stopped at the golden doors that lead to the throne room. I hesitated and opened the doors.

Everyone stopped talking at once and stared at us.

Poseidon turned pale when he saw Percy.

Artemis raised an eyebrow.

Ares looked bored.

Athena looked happy.

Apollo looked like he knew this was going to happen.

Hermes beamed when he saw Luke.

Hestia looked concerned.

Aphrodite was fixing her hair.

Hera didn't care

And father just stared at me.

I held Percy tight. I was trembling and I was cold.

I gulped and took a deep breath.

"Save him, please." I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

Review nicely and I'll let him live. Thanks for reading!

R&R please!
