Here's the next chapter, guys.
Ch. 5- Captured
On Olympus
Zeus just received the news about Trevan's death as well as the two runaways. This is serious news so he decided to call a meeting for the gods.
Once everyone was seated in his or her throne the meeting began.
"I have called this meeting here today to discuss some, ah, important matters," Zeus announced. There was some whispers going around but Zeus ignored it. "If you haven't already heard, well, there has been a death." Again there were some chattering, but Zeus silenced them. "The death of Trevan Biskit, son of Poseidon."
"WHO WOULD DARE KILL MY SON!?" Poseidon boomed, enraged.
"Calm down brother. The details aren't very clear, but it seems that a sudden flash of lightning killed him," Zeus explained as best he could.
"YOU KILLED MY SON, ZEUS?"
Zeus was furious with Poseidon's assumption. "What!? NO! I would never kill another demigod."
"You li…" Poseidon started but was interrupted by Zeus.
"Moving on to the next matter. It appears that both Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase have disappeared from Camp. Though they suspect that they have run away together for some reason."
"Oh that's soooo romantic!" Aphrodite exclaimed. "They must have gone on a date!"
"Possibly. But one thing is troubling me. Why didn't they tell anyone? Why sneak away?" Artemis spoke up.
"Maybe they wanted some alone time. You know, without anyone else knowing," Apollo suggested.
Athena shook her head. " I think my daughter is smart enough to let at least Chiron know about them leaving, just so that their disappearance doesn't cause a ruckus."
"I think Athena is right. They wouldn't go anywhere without at least letting Chiron know," Zeus agreed. "I order you all to find Percy and Annabeth, and capture them on sight. Bring them back here and we will discuss these matters with them. All who agrees?"
Every god raised his or her hand.
"Ok then. Meeting adjourned." With that, all the gods flashed out of the room in a bright light.
Annabeth's Pov
That idiot. He always goes charging in. I ran out a bit after he did and tried to help him. That was a big, and I mean very big, mistake.
Percy stood ten feet away from the camp. Instead of being sneaky he was shouting taunts, which really angered the Icegons. Now all the Icegons were getting up and making its way to Percy.
Percy threw one water spear at the nearest Icegon. When the spear got within five feet of the Icegon, it turned to ice and pierced the monster right between the eyes. Slowly, it turned to gold dust.
Now since Percy got the attention of all five Icegons, he was surrounded. I couldn't just stay hidden anymore.
"PERCY!" I shouted and threw my dagger at one.
Percy whirled around in surprise. His eyes grew wide and shouted something but I wasn't able to hear it. Then he pointed behind me. I wasn't swift enough and the Icegon swept my legs from beneath me. On my way down I hit my head on something hard and everything went black.
Percy's Pov
"Annabeth!" I cried. I threw a couple more spears at two Icegons blocking my way. They went down in a pile of gold dust. I ran to Annabeth's side.
"Hey. Annabeth! Wake up!" I shrieked. She was still alive so I was fine with that. The thing that worried me was the lump on the back of her head. It was the size of a pebble and really red.
Anger welled up inside me. "You will pay!" I yelled. I charge the rest of the Icegons. Throwing one spear at one Icegons mid section, I then rolled to my right and threw two spears with such accuracy that they punctured the eyes of another.
I was so focused on everything in front of me I never noticed a last Icegon sneak up on me. It then released a heavy chained net on top of me.
Flailing around, I tried to slice through the net. With no way of escaping I calmed down and just laid there, breathing heavily.
"Perseus Jackson," the Icegon boomed. "You will be coming with us."
"What about Annabeth? Are you taking her as well?" I was curious and a bit worried.
"What of her? She has nothing to do with this so we will leave her right there," the Icegon replied as if Annabeth wasn't important.
"But…" I trailed off. They must have drugged me because my sight was getting blurred, my mind was all jumbled, and I was loosing consciousness. Annabeth. I'm sorry.
"Good night Perseus Jackson." Then I lost consciousness.
Annabeth's Pov
I first noticed the throbbing pain in my head. I groaned. "Percy. Where are you?" I called out.
"Nowhere near here," A voice answered, which sounded nothing like Percy.
I bolted upright, and was rewarded with an explosion of pain in my head. I screamed and clutched my head.
"I wouldn't move around too much if I were you. You received a pretty hard blow."
I turned towards the voice. "Clarisse."
"Sup Wise Girl."
"The only person who deserves to call me that…"
"I know. Seaweed Brain," Clarisse said in a mocking voice.
"Tsk. Where is he anyway?" I asked, looking around.
Clarisse looked down. "Sorry to say this but, umm, I couldn't find him. Who or whatever did this to you must have captured him."
"Must have! They did! Why didn't you stop them?!" I screamed.
"By the time I got here you were the only one here! Lying unconscious on the ground!" countered Clarisse.
"Whatever," I got up and started walking away.
"Where're you going?"
"I'm going to look for some clues." I walked to the hill where I last saw Percy. The only things I found were piles of gold dust.
"Huh…" I sighed. I was about to turn back when something caught my eye. There were giant footprints. Next to the giant footprints were marks in the hill, kind of like when you drag something. Putting two and two together I came up with one answer, Percy was captured.
