Chapter 3: A Forbidden Quest
Disclaimer on first chapter
Percy's Point Of View
"Missing? My father is MISSING?" I yelled in disbelief.
"Yes Percy, he is missing, nobody knows where he is,"Zeus said
I looked at Athena she too looked shocked at the news but kept her cool.
"I need to go find him!" I yelled.
"No!" Zeus ordered, "I have already sent half-bloods to go find him."
"Who might they just be? Better not be a newbie camper!" I snapped.
"I think you may know them, Thalia, my daughter, Grover and Annabeth."
Before I could reply Athena butt in.
"What? I didn't approve of this father! I don't want my daughter saving...him!"
"Well my decision over rules yours Athena! You should know your placed in the Council!" he snapped.
She turned pale and looked down at the floor.
"I want to look for my father myself! As it is my duty as his lieutenant and as his son..." I said, my voice faltering as soon as I ended the sentence.
"NO!" Zeus boomed, "Since I have already sent half-bloods, looking for him will violate the Ancient Laws"
"But you sent me looking for your Master Bolt while also sending Hermes, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, and Athena," I argued.
"That...was different!"
"DIFFERENT? YOU ARE DARN RIGHT ITS DIFFERENT! THIS IS A LIVING BEING THAT THING WAS AN ITEM!" I said furiously.
"DO NOT RAISE YOUR VOICE AGAINST ME, BOY!"
Grrr! I wanted to say "Screw you" but he is Zeus, I held back.
"Now I just summoned you here to tell you the news no go back to your..."
Just then an image appeared through a mist. It was Annabeth.
"Percy! Help! We found Poseidon but we are now being attacked! Help us!" she said pleadingly with tears in her eyes," We are at..."
The image stopped and faded. Me and Athena had a shocked expression.
Athena's POV
"My darling daughter!" my motherly side thought.
"I guess she didn't join the Hunters..." my logical side reasoned.
"Be quiet logic! My daughter is in trouble! This is all Zeus' fault!"
"Be careful of what you think"
"I need to go back to my palace, father," I announced, with a flash of smoke I was back at my place and sat in my library with a huge headache.
I will save my daughter, if it is the last thing I do!
Percy's POV
"I think I should go back too, uncle, to think about things," I said.
"Very well," he said.
My uncle looked calm but I could sense he was troubled.
I went back to my palace, as I like to call it. I wanted to go and search for my father but I knew I shouldn't.
"Just do it! You know the real reason why you want to go save them!" my heart said.
"Don't do it! If you do you will violate the Ancient Laws!" my brain warned.
"Do it!"
"Don't!"
"Do it!"
"SHUT UP!" I yelled, "I will do this, for my father."
Though I said that, I knew part of me knew that the real reason I wanted to save them was because I still had feelings for Annabeth.
So I planned to sneak out of Olympus to go save them, forbidden or not.
At exactly 1:00 AM I took my backpack full of supplies and I opened my window and looked down at Manhattan.
Suddenly a flash of light appeared behind me.
"Well, what are you doing in one in the morning?"someone said in a matter-of-fact tone.
I turned around to see Athena starring at me. She was wearing blue skinny jeans, a white long sleeved shirt, and a gray jacket.
"I...uh,"I stammered.
"No need to explain, I am coming with you, despite being forbidden by my father."
"Well ok..."I muttered.
We looked down at the city and jumped.
Me: Please read and review.
Percy: Yes please do
Me: Why are you being so nice?
Percy: Because I'm your friend
Me: Um...even though I made you walk the United States with 999,999 pounds on your back?
Percy: ...
Me: Oh and make sure you vote on my pole in my profile just click on my pen name in the top. (Poll closed)
