A/N: Reminder to vote on the poll for the pairing in this story :) I recently started the new poll and since I last checked only two people voted.

I know a lot of people are hoping for Percabeth, no promises. Make sure to vote!

Also, I will not be writing much for the next while. Most of my stories are on a type of hiatus. Sorry, but honestly I have to start up the story in my head again before I can continue to write. Unless, someone knows exactly what I was originally planning to do with the story ;)

JK

Enjoy the chapter!

POV: Percy

My brother and sister weren't staying over at my place after all. It didn't make sense, they were just here! How could they have disappeared? Even worse is that I had to pretend to kill Alecto. Once you got past the fact she liked to torture people, she was actually a really nice fury. Her sisters are a bit of a different story though... they don't like anyone, and I mean it. Thank the gods that she was able to control her sister, or else I would be six feet under.

*Flashback*

I knew it was dangerous coming down here, but I was on a mission and the monster just happened to have to go down to the underworld. As if it sensed that I had a slight hesitance. My Uncle Hades had been slightly lenient with me. I could go in and out for tasks but he couldn't guarantee my complete safety. I was safe in the palace of course but not so much in the Fields of Punishment. After-all, Alecto and her sisters were down here, torturing some poor unfortunate soul.

I had only met Alecto once, and for a brief amount of time. She was called on Olympus to report the status of the tortured victims, but we never really talked at that point. I was hunted Kampe. She was a tricky things to hunt down. The huge she-dragon's scales were rock hard and her lizard like tail was well muscled. She could take me down easily, had I not been trained and had powers. But even so, I was young and inexperienced compared to many of the past demi-gods like, Theseus and Perseus.

I turned towards a statue in the field and slowly crept up to it, as I had heard a sound coming from the general area. Kampe appeared and I slashed my sword towards her head, which she blocked, and her claws came dangerously close towards my exposed chest. I cursed and pulled back, scolding myself for almost letting her get the best of me. Eventually, I defeated her my managing small blows that made her bleed out. I swung my sword and cut her head off to finish the deal and she disintegrated into golden dust. I was exhausted and didn't realize that my battle with Kampe had drawn attention to myself. And there they were.

Alecto and her sisters, flapping their wings and holding whips with a look a glee on their faces. They probably thought that I was one of their prisoners and that I needed to be tortured. I took out Riptide, cause I had put it pen form for the moment. The gleam from the blade blinded them and I made my move. Her sisters hissed and were on me in a matter of seconds. They were a fearsome duo and I had to admit, formidable opponents. Alecto however, was hanging around, looking at me with a serious expression, but she didn't attack. I was slightly surprised but was forced to concentrate as her sisters closed in. They got their weapons out now, knives. They moved with blinding speed and I was hard pressed to keep up with their attacks, especially since there were two of them. I'm sure a few more minutes and I would be forced to retreat.

"Stop!" Alecto screamed suddenly and her sister stopped attacking, They pulled back with an expression of disbelief and disappointment. "This is Zeus' boy, we are not to injure him or else the consequences will be hefty. Zeus said so himself." She turned towards her sisters. They pondered whether it would be worth it or not for a while until a shadow creped up along the fields.

"Leave" The furious voice commanded and the shadow turned into Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Alecto and her sisters hissed and left, probably going to punish some other person. "What are you doing in the fields of punishment?" He turned on me, with a serious expression, but a happy gleam in his eyes.

"Well, I seem to have gotten lost." I said, playing along for a little. "I got confused when I saw the field sign." I teased "I had imagined a much nicer field than the one that was presented to me."

Hades threw his head back and laughed. "This is why I keep you around boy" He slowed down his laughing to a chuckle now and he grabbed his arm and I was pulled into a shadow. Suddenly, we were in his palace and Zeus, my father, was pacing the room, looking calm. I knew better though, he was probably freaking out at this point.

"Perseus!" He exclaimed "I thought...I thought...I thought" He mumbled

"You thought I was what, dad?" I grinned and he scowled

"It isn't a good idea to tease your father, Perseus."

"I think it is a wonderful idea, father." He rolled his eyes and he flashed away, happy that I was safe.

"Percy" Hades said and I turned to face my uncle.

"Yes, Uncle Hades?" I said sweetly

"It is time to train with your powers over the dead again." I smiled at that. Working with the dead was always one of my more favorite powers to work with, the dead were so cool!

Well, except this one time when I was almost killed, but that is another story.

*End of Flashback*

I was thinking of possibly hurrying up to Camp Half-Blood so that I would be able to prepare everything for the arrival of Thalia at Camp. I knew that she would be coming. It was natural instinct to find the camp, especially for a demi-god of her power. Any child of the big three usually had stronger impulses.

Just like mine. Anyways, Grover was chewing on one of the pop cans that I had stored just for his arrival. Honestly, he ate so many of them, I was hard pressed to keep up my stock!

We had a museum trip today, no doubt it would be boring. I knew everything their was to know, or almost everything. Athena made sure of that. I had successfully completed her classes and might I say that it wasn't an easy achievement at all. Grover had a last minute emergency kind of thing, I don't understand satyrs at all. We were supposed to leave in five minutes to get there early, but it doesn't look like we will at this point. I didn't really care about the trip, but then again, today was the day I would be able to go to Camp, finally.

I was raised for this, I was ready to start fulfilling my destiny.

POV:Zeus

I was furious, absolutely furious! How dare someone take my children that I had brought to Perseus! How could someone even do that? Perseus and I were right around the corner, now suddenly Thalia is with a son of Hermes and a daughter of Athena. Jason, my heart gave a little squeeze, poor Jason. I didn't know where he was but once I find out who took him, they won't be able to escape the wrath of Zeus! But tell no one that I care about my children. I don't need this information getting out to my enemies... even though they know about Perseus, but then again he can take care of himself.

Assuming that I will be able to find said person. But I think my chances are quite good, after all Perseus will no doubt help me with the task and I was King of the gods. How would I not be able to find him?

Perseus, was about to go on his trip to the museum and Alecto was by my side, for a rare moment in time before Hades appeared. The darkness, kind of creped me out sometimes, especially when the shadow came closer to me. I flinched a little, but not enough to notice. Hades was grinning as if he knew that I was uncomfortable, but he didn't comment.

"Brother" He greeted and I nodded. I focused on the image of Perseus in the museum. I could see Alecto pretending to attack him. I could see Grover and Chiron watching from the sidelines, listening to what Alecto said. Everything went according to plan. I was satisfied. Grover had taken Perseus and was rushing him to Camp Half-Blood. I knew that he would be safe, although generally he can take care of himself. I was still worried and I clutched the arms of my throne when Perseus was attacked by the minotaur. I knew I didn't like minotaurs for a reason.

I had to restrain myself from breaking the ancient laws in order to save Perseus, even when he didn't really need any saving from it.

I glared at it the entire time and Hades was grinning, obviously enjoying my struggles. I nearly hit him over the head in frustration but I decided against it. I didn't want anymore enemies than I already had.

Perseus blacked out, like a normal demi-god would do after the fight and Grover dragged his body passed the Camp borders. The campers were in a havoc trying to heal him. The sons of Apollo were undressing him, trying to heal the stab wound. Usually, Persues would get hurt from this level of monster but he was trying to play a helpless demi-god that didn't even know his godly parent. I had to give it to him, he was a talented actor.

He would wake up with a head ache but it would be worth it. I prepared myself for his claiming. I was worried about Poseidon though. I didn't want Poseidon to claim the child before, after, or at the same time as me. That could cause a huge confusion with the demi-gods at the Camp. Confusion wouldn't be helpful at this point in time. I needed everything to go smoothly. I missed my lightning bolt. I missed the thunder and lightning. All I see now a storm clouds, no thunder or lightning.

Hades was glad, but he wouldn't be glad if someone took his helm of darkness. I bit my tongue and kept silent the entire time. I only released my breathe when Perseus woke up. A girl was sitting next to him. I had seen the girl before but didn't really know who she was. I could really see her properly, the image got a little blurry. It was time to sleep, there was only so long I could go without sleep.

I flashed to my palace and fell asleep quickly, glad at the moment everything was going along perfectly.

POV: Hecate

I was stuck, strapped down to this table. This stupid table! I can't believe that someone had the guts to kidnap me. I was in Tartarus anyways, I expected to be murdered for my actions, but I wasn't expecting to be kidnapped. I didn't even know the reason why I was kidnapped! The person refused to tell me anything. I don't even know his name. What is with gods in Tartarus? Has Tartarus made their minds go crazy?

I missed Bob, I can't believe I am saying this, but I miss him so much at the moment. If only I didn't get angry and leave, then he could save me and then I wouldn't be here, with this freak, strapped to a table.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked again, for what seemed like the millionth time. I was greeted by silence once again. I could see him grinning though. I was getting unnerved now. I had hoped that Bob would forgive me and save me already but life isn't fair and he obviously didn't want me anymore. I was devastated.

I struggled to get free of the chains that kept me to this table but they seemed unbreakable. I had no idea they had this kind of technology in Tartarus, but I had to agree it was impressive. Not many things can keep a god imprisoned. I hated that it could though.

The man moved, from his once statue like demeanor and I was scared. I didn't know what he was going to do now. He took out a needle and stabbed me with it. I felt searing pain, before blacking out. All I remember before blacking out is a bunch of red eyes, staring into the depths of my soul.

*Hour passes*

I didn't know where I was. All I could see was darkness as my eyes struggled to adjust to the lighting change. When they adjusted enough for me to see, it was obvious I was in a cell. The thick bars of the cell filled with some ancient magic that I couldn't break out of. I knew this, magic always leaves a trace. Being able to control magic always left me with a expert understanding of how to identify magic. Unfortunately, I never got to teach Perseus any of this. I supposed when I got, if I did, I would then be able to teach him later. I just hoped it wasn't too late. I knew I never should have trusted Kronos.

"Argh!" I heard a voice yell. I was shocked, I thought I was alone in here. I moved closer to the edge of my cell, trying to get a good look at whoever was at the cell opposite me.

"Bob?" I said, stunned.

"Hecate?" I smiled and nodded

"Bob, I'm sorry for yelling at you and getting angry. I never meant it." I said quickly.

"I know." Came a strained reply

"Why are you here? Can't you just flash out?" Bob looked stunned for a moment and then he was gone.

He appeared on the other side of the cell and he unlocked my cell using some kind of key.

"I stole it from the guard when he wasn't looking." He explained. "I can't believe I never thought of that before." He said, obviously annoyed. I nearly face-palmed, but thought better of it. He was my savior after all.

"Thank you." I said and I leaned in and planted a kiss right on his cheek. I saw him blush but he turned away from me. I felt hurt but didn't allow it to show on my face.

"Let's go" He said and lead the way out of the prison. I didn't understand his behavior but I shrugged it off and followed him, obediently. We were walking for a while until we found the exit. It almost seemed too easy...

"Don't think I would let you go so easily." I voice came from behind me and I spun around and she was there.
