Well, HI! I don't know whose Pov you wanted, so I'm going by Alex's Pov! For some of you who don't know, Palex will not get back together. Yet. So keep that in mind, Will you? Enjoy!
Alex's Pov
I admit that I have been a little hard on Percy. But does he seriously think that I will just let this go? I guess he did. But I paid little mind on that. I can't just pretend there was nothing going between us. I made myself concentrate on my footing.
We were following tracks of oil (supposedly of Alcyoneus).Jason, Piper, Christy, Percy, Jade, Aaron crouched down and I followed their example. We were hidden by a crumbling, grey rock. I could see Death chained, with undead Spartan warriors guarding him. Death was not what I imagined.
Thanatos is lean and muscular, with a regal face, honey gold eyes, and black hair flowing down his shoulders. His skin is the colour of teakwood, and his wings glimmer in shades of blue, black, and purple. He was inhumanely beautiful. Not hot or Sexy, Just inhumanly beautiful. He looked like he didn't mind being Chained up. If anything, he was plain bored. Then Alcyoneus came and stood before Thanatos, blocking my view. I pursed my lips. Thanatos Chains were bounded his hands together, keeping them secure. Leo would have to be the one who burned them. That would be reasonable.
Alcyoneus ear deafening laugh brought me out of my thoughts, "Every hour, I grow stronger. Soon, these foolish demigods won't know what hit them."
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?" Thanatos grimly stated.
I know it's crazy, but I think Thanatos knew we were her. Piper, Jason, Aaron, Christy, Jade, Percy and I crawled away and just when we thought we were out of their ear-shot, we ran. We ran to the village and we stopped at a small house. The others must've heard us, because they were waiting.
"Percy, we have some bad news. Scylla has frozen all the humans, with fear. It will probably last for another few days," Annabeth informed us.
"I was worried about this. We need to rest now and fight Alcyoneus," Percy planned.
We all nodded and went into any house and just slept. I took off in a rundown, little house. I piled wood on the fireplace that was there and left it burning. I couldn't stand the cold. I snuggled in the blanket that I took of the bedside table and drifted off to sleep.
Christy's Pov
I woke up to Aaron, peering at my face. I understood. It was time. I grabbed my rucksack, without an explanation and trudged outside. Everybody was ready and not really eager to go. I could see why. We were more or less, inviting ourselves to death. We dawdled on the path that we took yesterday. I couldn't say I was really happy. We halted at the boulder that we hid behind, last night. Joe stood aside, not seeming to realise that he was exposing himself. But Alcyoneus did.
"Heroes of Olympus. You have arrived and in such big groups. It will be such a shame to kill you now, altogether," Alcyoneus sinisterly laughed.
I glared at Joe (As did the others).We got in our positions and so did Joe (Hiding).It all happened suddenly. The Spartans attacked and we basically defended ourselves. Well, what could we do? The Skeletons just kept on reforming. Luckily, Nico was slowing down the reforming of the Warriors. I glanced at Leo and he got the message. I now it worked, but I couldn't believe it. According to Percy, only the fire of life could burn the chains. I couldn't worry about that. Leo's Fire was working and that's all that mattered. He sped over to Thanatos and began burning his chains. Now we just need to handle the Dead. I kicked one in the chest and stabbed the guy in the heart. I quickly sliced another in half, before it tried to kill Alex in the back. She sent me a smile full of Gratitude. Leo finally burned off the last chain and dead no longer began reforming. Good! I was getting tired. Now just one more task to take care of. Alcyoneus.
"YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT ME!"Alcyoneus roared.
But we had to. Frank morphed into a humongous eagle and I made strong portal, with the help of Jade. Frank swooped through in grace. One after the other, we filed in the portal. We were now in Canada. Now, Alcyoneus could fail the request of his mother. Frank dumped Alcyoneus on an iceberg. Hazel raised her hands, attempting to kill Alcyoneus with her energy. With a bloodcurdling scream, Alcyoneus was destroyed. We piled back into the Portal, totally exhausted.
"You have succeeded the first part of your quest. At each step, you will be tempted to redraw from this quest. Do not fail for the sake of Olympus," Thanatos said, when we all stood in front of him.
With a swirl of black mist, Thanatos disappeared. That was probably the only time ever I would get an audience with Thanatos. But I wasn't complaining. With the last bit of strength, we almost managed to make it back at the Argo II. Almost. We stopped dead our tracks, when we saw a blazing, orange fire. Someone was waiting for us. But who? Percy ushered us behind another boulder.
Jade's Pov
"...Tonight, we will officially pronounce my heir. My pride and my Joy has conquered and deceived many, for the good of Vampires all around the world," Said a familiar voice.
Alcester. He's found me, yet again. With his Heir. But I don't know his heir. So I guess I should be kind of glad. This could be vital information. I couldn't help but think why I haven't I ever met this vampire. Why hasn't he hunted me down, yet?
"Show yourself!" Alcester commanded his heir.
And so he did. His heir had a pale, white complexion and black eyes. He looked about 18 or could have even passed had flowing black robe. The crowds roared. His eyes skimmed over the crowds and settled on me. His eyes were dead on me. Seth? And soon we were encircled. By Vampires and Werewolves. What was this? They weren't friends. Or at least they weren't. Clustered around the edges were various creatures. Mythological creatures. Greeks. A feast. We were their feast.
"I am so pleased to have you witness this celebration," Barracuda sneered.
Anger flared up inside me. First they let me find Alcester's Heir and then round my entire friends up (not including Joe).Another thing, I couldn't believe was also; Barracuda Dijon and Alcester Villarreal. Not to mention the Oh-So-Handsome-Heir: Seth. Seth Villarreal. No one could forget that.
"Have you figured out that we are allies of Gaia, yet?" Alcester said to my face.
"No. But I wish I had," I said, all too calmly for everyone's liking.
They stared at me. Probably wondering if I was even real. Here we were, surrounded by blood-thirsty Animals (?), and I was perfectly at ease. From the Outside, I seemed perfect, right? To everyone around me, I was an ordinary girl with friends and family that I'll shout at, cry over and hug. But I wasn't. They saw themselves, I was a foster child. A silence was the only music. I've heard it so many times, with Vampires. And Leo just had to break it.
"I don't get it," Leo said, confused.
All heads turned to Leo. Their eyes, flaming like fire. A soft smile replaced my anger. Clueless Little Leo. Alcester and Barracuda noticed my change of expression. As did all of my friends. I could see the gears in their minds working.
"It's Okay, Repair boy. I don't get it too," Piper cut in.
"I don't think any one does," Alex eyed some of the Vampires.
"What is this outrageous game, you are playing with us?" Barracuda demanded.
"The game were playing is how weak, upright, snotty and disgusting you are," Percy put in, nicely
All the Greek monsters, vampires and were wolves growled in frustration and fury. Laistrygonian's and Kampe edged nearer to us. Empoises strike dazzling smiles at the boys, dazing them. Too late. The Empousai lunged at Frank, but Hazel thought quickly and stabbed her with her Sparta. That was the only beginning of the fight. Overhead, Vampires circled all around in the night. Wolves' howled, pleased to finally hunt. I took a step back. The Greek Monsters advanced. Suddenly, my whole life flashed before me. I was fighting for my life, watching my friends die and ding myself. It was all under a second. But that couldn't be it. I had to save my friends. I gave Jason a look. He understood. Jason floated in the air a little and picked Leo up from the collar and whizzed to the Argo II. No one payed much attention to that.
Except Kampe, Barracuda and Alcester.
My plan was simple and Life-Threatening. Not the best combination, I know, Okay? But times like this you need to do something totally extravaganza and wicked, Err, I mean, unsafe. Half the Werewolves circled us. Their hunger overtook themselves. They took a wild grasp at Christy and Percy kicked the werewolves out of the way. I cleared my throat. No one noticed. Not including the werewolves and Vampires. I cleared my throat a little louder. Everyone took one glance at me and ignored me. I JUST WANT A LITTLE ATTENTION? This time I gave them a full coughing fit! To Frank, I made a little creature with my hand. He nodded. He understood. What a relief! To everyone's amazement, Frank morphed into a full-size eagle, enough room for at least 12 people. Perfect. I pushed Christy on board and then stumbled on myself. We had to get the wizards to safety, right? That's when everyone and I mean everyone knew my little plan. So much for secrecy.
"Come on," I yelled at my dumbstruck friends.
Then everyone piled on. Including all the blood-thirsty monsters. I pushed little of the monsters of Frank the Eagle (Like?) and screamed at them, "I didn't mean you, Retards!"
I don't think they appreciated my complement. Viciously, the tried to board Frank the Eagle (My new Nickname!).Why won't they accept rejection? So I did the natural thing. I made a monster force shield. A Force Shield that does not let monsters in where you are. All the monsters within our area integrated or fell back about five miles back. A small crater was around Frank the Eagle. I couldn't help but be a little proud. Frank the Eagle made it to the Argo II, safely. Frank formed back into himself and I vanished my incredible force shield. Obviously, my victory was short-Lived. Vampires filtered in the Ago can fly, I remembered. It wasn't safe for us to fight, while Leo was controlling the Argo then again, when did I ever worry about being safe. My whole life wasn't safe.
What's the harm in this?
We had no time to talk (or even breathe); the Vampires stroke to split us up. They did. I was defending for Leo and...Myself. A vampire reached me and I broke its Jaw with the hilt of my dagger. I kneed him them stabbed him in the back. Then an empousai came up to me (How did they get onboard?) and tried to be friends with me (?), but I politely declined, by slicing her throat and giving her a huge gash in the stomach. The monster guts did not help. And finally my old friend, Seth sidled up to me. Note the sarcasm. I spun my dagger, threw it in the air and catched it again with the back of my hand. I smiled at him, when he stared.
"Let us begin," I tried to say in a Chinese accent.
And so we did. We started off, with our blades both touching. Seth did the first move. He targeted my torso, but quickly changed his decision. I stabbed at his shin, and then went for his arm. I made small scars. I twisted my Dagger with his clothing, and then pushed him. The Dagger made a bloody Gash. It could kill him. But it won't. He's too strong for that. I spun around and gave him a kick in the Jaw. I'm going all Karate on him. He kicked me and twisted my ankle. I spat in his face and elbowed him in the stomach. I really like elbowing. Seth took a wild swing at me and hooked his arm around my neck and instinctively flipped him over from my back. He wasn't even dazed. Then I saw it. A vampire was sneaking up from behind Nico. I got my Pistol out from my left boot and blew my hair out of my face. Things were going to get nasty. I aimed at the vampire, who was snaking up from Nico and pulled the trigger. And from then on I never let go. My bullets hit Vampires all around the place and I was glad that I was careful not to hit my friends.
When there was only about 6 Monsters left on board, I put my pistol back in my boot and faced Seth.
Seth told me, "You forgot to shoot me."
"No. I didn't forget you. How could I? Heir of Alcester...," I gave him a short bow and smiled.
Seth mused, "You bowed to me. Father said you never bowed to anyone."
I ran a hand though my hair and said, "Yes. I never did. And I never have. I didn't bow to you. It was a goodbye. Forever. One of us isn't going to make it. We could end this now or we could end this at the last battle of the war. Forever."
"Just like that? You're going to give me that choice," He raised an eyebrow.
I tried to persuade him. "Yes. You don't know how long I knew who you were. But it all mattered, that I knew. I anticipated this as long as you can ever know. Now it's your choice. Kill me now and go home as the hero or kill me at the last minute, like I was nothing to you and then go home as a hero."
"It's funny how you don't mention yourself, if you survive," Seth mused.
"I'll just carry on with life," I rolled my eyes.
"How ever much pleasant this decision sounds. I have to politely decline. We'll meet again. Farewell," Seth nodded at me, and then flew into the sky.
I watched him fly, until he was no more then a little speck. I carried on looking though. The others were tending their wounds. The night was cold and foggy. The sky was midnight black. I tried to remember every bit of Seth. His Black eyes. His slick, black hair. His angular nose. His cheeks, his lips...HOLD UP!
' .
I CAN'T BE. I won't be. There was only one reason why I gave him that Life or Death decision, the reason why I let him and the reason why I was memorising his features.
I was in Love with Seth Villarreal...
~Shocker! ~
Well, it wasn't, but it is for Jade. I have noticed I have made Jade's Pov longer than anyone else's. I find that extremely annoying. I do not know why. I think that I am obsessed over Jade. I always wished for a sister. I do not have any sisters. Jade would be the perfect sister. Too bad she's a OC.I will continue denying it to myself, though.
Goodbye! And Review!
