DISCLAIMER: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Percy
"Nico, can't you just call him?" I said for the millionth time. Nico shook his head and took a sip of his beer.
"I haven't seen him since Bianca died, and I don't plan to anytime soon," he said. "Why can't you call your dad?"
"I did! But we have to ask all three of them, just in case," I countered.
"Percy," began Thalia. "I really, really do not want to call my father. I don't want to see him and…well, I just don't!"
"Come on, guys, what if Kronos does something? Would you rather suffer through one meeting with your dads or let Kronos take over the world."
"Let Kronos take over the world," they said together.
I sighed. This wasn't getting anywhere. I'd been trying for hours to get Thalia and Nico to contact their dads. I had talked to my dad earlier and he told me he'd be there within a week. It was almost midnight and I was on the brink of giving up. Annabeth had gone to sleep, and even the Stolls went home for the night. Luke was sitting on the floor with Thalia, and hadn't said a word since this started. He looked exhausted, and I was starting to wonder when he fed last.
"Just call them and tell them to come to Perish Creek, I talked to my dad and it wasn't a big deal," I said.
"Well your dad actually likes you. My dad would've preferred Bianca to me," growled Nico. "He actually said that to me when she died. I quote, 'It's a shame she's gone. I'd have preferred her alive over you any day.' Do you really think I want to talk to that man?"
"That was a long time ago Nico. You should talk to him."
"Just stop it Percy," said Thalia. "Your dad is coming right? Then that's that, he can tell us what Kronos is going to do with the blood."
"But what if he doesn't know? Maybe Zeus or Hades knows, I don't see why you can't just pick up the damn phone and call them!"
"Percy," said Luke. "It's okay. Your dad might know. And if he doesn't, then we'll try to contact someone else. Thalia, Nico, if Poseidon doesn't know then you have to call them okay?"
Nico nodded his head and Thalia muttered an almost incoherent, "Fine."
"At least we got somewhere," I mumbled. Pulling the beer out of Nico's hand, I drained it. "Do we have any more of these?"
"It's your house," said Nico, clearly pissed that I took his beer. I shrugged and went to the kitchen, opening the fridge. Grabbing a couple bottles, I headed back and handed one to everyone.
I held up my bottle as a toast, and said, "To beer, which I love at times like this."
"To beer," agreed the rest.
We could all drink to that.
I woke up to the doorbell ringing. I groaned and covered my ears.
"Shut up!" yelled Thalia's voice. Soon I heard feet shuffling and someone opening the door.
"Who are you?" said a familiar voice.
Suddenly I felt wide awake. Shit, I thought. He's here already? I lifted my head and looked around. Luke and Thalia were asleep on the floor. Nico was on his feet rubbing his eyes. Annabeth had been the one to answer the door, and had a surprised look on her face as my father walked in.
"I could ask you the same thing," she replied, closing the door.
I sat up on the couch I had slept on, yawning. Then I looked to Poseidon and muttered, "Hi dad."
"Perseus, it's nice to see you after so long," he said, sitting next to me on the couch. We shared and awkward 'man hug' and then his eyes moved to Luke and Thalia still asleep on the floor. He raised an eyebrow. "That's…interesting. Is that Thalia?"
"Yup."
"And the blond is-?"
"The blond is my girlfriend."
"The blond," said Annabeth, clearing her throat, "has a name too, you know. I'm Annabeth."
"You have very blond hair, Annabeth," said my dad.
"I noticed," she answered, smiling slightly. "I'll be going upstairs now."
We all watched as she walked up, then when she was gone, my father turned to me again.
"Have you slept with her yet?"
"Dad, I didn't call you here to meet my girlfriend."
"Just asking, did you or did you not have sex with her?"
Thalia and Luke, who seemed to have woken up, were stifling laughs along with Nico. I glared at them before replying.
"We have more important things to talk about other than my love life."
"Percy, did you tell him about the-" began Nico, but my father interrupted.
"Yes, I know about what happened with my father," he said, then turned to Luke. "He used your body right? You're very lucky he left after he thought you were dying."
Luke shrugged and then Nico continued, "So what is Kronos going to do with our blood?"
Poseidon's eyes widened at that, as he said, "Wait, he has your blood already, all three of you? I thought we were theoretically speaking. You must get it back immediately."
"He doesn't have my blood though, only Nico's and Thalia's," I said. "Won't he need mine too?"
"You don't understand; you're acting like their ingredients. When together they create chaos, but your blood is already powerful enough on its own. You are the direct descendants of the first vampire, hunter and werewolf. My brothers and I have more powerful blood than you three, but if Kronos were to drink our blood his body would burn to ashes. You on the other hand, are half human. Your blood is safe."
"Okay, you're confusing me, what is he going to do with our blood?" asked Thalia, her eyes wide.
"If he drinks your blood, Thalia, then he will be able to control every hunter in the world. If he drinks Nico's blood then he can control every lycanthrope. And Percy's blood lets him control every vampire. He doesn't need all three. Even one is enough."
"Why hasn't he done it already then? Nobody seems so be possessed," said Nico.
"It will only work if he drinks it during a total lunar eclipse, or as you may say: the blood moon. You must get the blood from him before it."
"He'll only keep coming back though," I muttered. Everyone looked at me. "He won't stop until he gets what he wants. We need to kill him."
"Percy, it's more difficult than it sounds. Kronos is all three: vampire, werewolf, and hunter. He has all three strengths."
"Wait guys," interrupted Luke. "Why does he want to control all the supernatural people anyways? What does he even want with us?"
"So you didn't figure it out yet did you?" said Poseidon.
"Figure out what?" I asked.
Poseidon looked me in the eye and with a voice full of sorrow he said, "Kronos will use the supernatural as an army to take over those who don't let us walk the Earth freely. He believes in an age of only people like us, where they are our servants."
I let this sink in, and then I realized what he meant. Nico, Thalia and Luke seemed to realize it too, and their eyes were wide in fear.
"When's the blood moon?" I asked my dad. My heart sank when he answered.
"In about three days."
A/N: Okay, so did you guys get that? Just in case, I'll explain: Kronos wants to take over the world and have supernatural people rule over humans. That is the simple explanation.
Anyways, I'm really cold…especially my hands. I'm amazed that I'm able to type in this weather. It must be magic…
So how was the chapter? By the way, this story will be ending soon, in about three or so chapters. That's what I'm planning but I'm not completely sure yet.
Reviews? The box is right there people…
