Thanks for all the reviews/favorites/alerts. I'm soo sorry for not updating for more than a week but I just wanted to make this along chapter so forgive me! ILY all!
PS: In the last chapter where they found the Motel 6 they were already in London BTW I have no idea if there are Motel 6s in London. Also Annabeth is a bit OOC in this chapter she is a bit more girly but still fierce.
Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson except for the plot I do own :)
Annabeth's POV
I was standing in front a dark cave, surrounded with trees and bushes. There was a steely cold voice inside my head trying to persuade me to betray my friends and join the dark side. The voice said "My name is Jason son of Hephaestus," the voice said son of Hephaestus like it was gum stuck on the bottom of his shoe. "I was one of the last survivors from Kronos' side. Now that I have your mother's notebook I can easily use one of your mother's contraptions to bring down Olympus forever." "Jason" said.
I could see the silhouette of a tall figure coming out of the cave, I realized it was Jason so I pulled out my dagger just in case it came to a fight. He had dark skin and mysterious indigo eyes (AN just think of Blaise Zabini from Harry Potter). I felt a surging emotion of hatred flowing through me. He smiled.
"Annabeth I know that your side will lose with me as leader."
"No, good always beats evil, I know because last time you lost and who says you won't lose again?"
He laughed "If you are wise you will join our side."
"I will never do that."
"Suit yourself but be warned Annabeth your mother's notebook my side will be unbeatable."
I felt Thalia jump up and down on bed shouting "WAKE UP SMARTASS!" repeatedly.
"I'm up, I'm up!"
"Ok now get ready and meet us down in the lobby in 30 minutes with your luggage and whatnot so we find the damn guy!"
"Ok."
I went to the bathroom took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and blow dried my hair. I put on black skinny jeans, a plain white tight t-shirt, a black flattering vest, and gray ankle boots. I put on some lip gloss, eye liner, and mascara. For my hair I just put it up in my usual pony tail.
I went down to the lobby which was surprisingly fancy for a Motel 6. Nico and Percy were already there with their stuff, I wonder why Thalia took so long because usually she's the first person down when we're meeting some place. But whatever.
Percy gave me a kiss good-morning as usual.
"Guys! Get a room! Do you seriously have to do that in front of me?"
"Oh come on Nico I bet that you will be like me and Annabeth and be doing couple-ly stuff in no time." said Percy
Nico just mumbled "Whatever."
We sat on the couches and waited for Thalia. It was ten minutes later and I started to get worried. "That's it, something isn't right, usually she takes only five minutes to get ready, but now is just ridiculous. I'm going to check on her." I said as I shot out from Percy's arms and walked to my room. There I found Thalia still picking out clothes and muttering to herself.
"Uh Thalia?"
"What? I'm trying to find a outfit that makes me look good!" she hissed.
"Here just wear your black skinny jeans and converse, I'll let you borrow one of my tops." I said as I handed here a blue tube top with ruffles going down the middle.
"Thanks." she blew a sigh of relief. She changed into the clothes I gave her and put on the same makeup I did. She took her duffle bag and we went down to the lobby together.
"So what happened?" the boys asked us.
"Wardrobe malfunction." I said simply. They just nodded of understanding mostly because they probably didn't want to know the details of everything. Nico kissed Thalia good-morning and Percy and I turned away on purpose. "Last night I had a dream and I know who took the notebook." I said. "What was the dream?" Nico asked. I told them the dream quickly and quietly because we don't want any mortals to listen to our conversations, I swear mortals eavesdrop like Hermes kids.
"Wow so let's find this Jason guy and hunt him down!"
"But first we should probably find out where his little operation is."
"Wow Percy you sounded actually smart for a second there."
Thalia smacked Nico upside the head for that little comment.
"I'm going to message Chiron to find out if Jason is in this area of London." said Thalia.
Thalia's POV
I took a drachma and went to the bathroom for which also had a shower in it which I found quite odd but oh well we are in London. I turned on the shower and the sun coming through the window made a rainbow.
"O' Iris goddess of the rainbow please accept my offering." I said
"Chiron, Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill."
"Chiron?"
"Thalia is everything alright?"
"Yes we were just wondering if a son of Hephaestus named Jason is in this area of London."
"Yes but what does that have to do with anything?"
"Last night Annabeth had a dream and Jason is the one who stole the notebook."
"I see. Well our British spies informed me that he is currently plotting his attack in the Buckingham Palace."
"Thank you Chiron, we will try our best to stop him."
He nodded and with that I broke the connection. I made my way over to my impatient friends.
"So? What did he tell you?" asked Thalia anxiously.
"He said that this Jason guy is in the Buckingham Palace." I replied.
"Alright then let's make a move on!" Nico exclaimed.
Thalia's POV
We asked the front desk where the nearest bank was so we can get 600 dollars changed into Euros which left us 800 dollars for the flight back to camp. The manager said the nearest bank was around the block.
We walked around the block and there was a huge massive bank before us. Gold letters on the front said Anbk foj Ladnengs. It took all of us severalminutes to decipher the letters, it turned out it said Bank of England. Before we entered on the door it said
Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in return.
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there. (AN: Ring a bell? It's from Harry Potter when he enters Gringotts!)
Wow, that's creepy. We entered and went to the 'Exchanges' section. "Hello, how can I help you?" said a girl about 23 at most. She was perky, had blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. "Um hi, we need to make 600 dollars changed into Euros please." I said smiling the fakest smile ever. She got out the Euros and took the 600 dollars we gave her and handed us 6000 Euros (AN: I don't know how the currencies work so don't blame me if I got it wrong.).
We walked out and hailed a cab. As soon as we got there we payed the fee and exited. Annabeth started babbling about the architecture. We blocked her out of our minds as usual when she does this.
There had to be thousands of tourists here. Everything was all jolly until a voice behind us saidd "Well well well. We've been expecting you."
Oooh suspence. Again I'm super sorry for not updating quickly. BTW this chapter is the longest out of all! 1,501 to be exact.
