Chapter 4
Thalia POV
The fighting goddess's voices grew louder by the moment. There was another flash of golden light.
"This war isn't a joke, Jinx!" Athena screamed.
"I think I know that! My daughter was taken if you don't remember, dearest Athena!" Jinx yelled back. Percy and Annabeth glanced at me.
I'll tell you guys later I mouthed back to them. I checked out from under the table and saw that the coast was clear. I motioned that the coast was clear to Percy. He nodded and started army crawling towards the stairs. The fighting goddesses didn't notice. Percy finally disappeared from sight and was successfully up the stairs. Annabeth and I looked around and then ran to small hallway leading to the garage.
"Get the van" I whispered to Annabeth. She nodded and slipped into the garage. I watched the goddesses fight as I waited for Percy.
"She's my daughter! I don't care if there's a war going on! I'm going to get her back no matter the cost!" Jinx yelled at Athena. Athena's eyes blazed and I ducked as a blast of energy came off of her. I quickly pulled myself back up and hid behind the small wall once again.
Suddenly, Percy was right in front of me. He had one girl in each arm and Annabeth's invisibility cap in his right hand. I took Piper and we both slipped into the garage. Percy hopped in the passenger seat while I sat in the back with the girls. Annabeth slammed on the gas and we shot out of garage. Golden light followed us down the street. I watched as a final blast of golden light filled the sky and then all went dark. I turned back around and watched the road in front of us. I listened to the soft breathing of the twin girls on either side of me.
Somewhere in a dark land, uninhabited by humans
Jinx POV
I hated this land. So barren and cruel. I kicked a skeleton out of my way, noticing that it was a lion's bone structure. I shivered and continued walking. Darkness attacked me from all around. I knew I was easy to see because of all of this damn white that I was wearing. I wished that I had brought my bow, but Poison had forbade it. I forced myself to remember that I was doing this for the well-being of my family, but I still shivered. I felt a presence in my head.
"You're pathetic" The presence whispered and disappeared.
"Poison! Come out!" I called into the darkness surrounding me. My voice echoed and I felt like someone was watching me. I knew someone was watching me. Goosebumps rose on my arms. Suddenly, my body turned against me and I was on my knees. Poison seeped out of the darkness like her name suggested. She wore a strapless black dress that ended just above mid thigh and looked as if it were made of shadows. A silver armor underbust corset accented the dress and Poison's cleavage. Poison wore a battle helmet fashioned to look the head of a dragon except it was open-faced. Her black boots went up to her knees and were made of dragon's hide and laced with hair from unicorn's silver mane. The poor unicorn's horn dangled from a silver chain around her neck. I always felt small next to Poison. The thing that scared me the most though, was her sword. Silver and fire blackened, it looked gorgeous, but I knew that it could turn into an immortal-killing scythe in seconds.
"It's about time you came, Jinx." Poison said, batting her lashes in a way that seemed intimidating.
"I thought I was going to have to kill one of my best spies." Poison continued.
"Well, I'm here" I spat out. Poison looked at me weirdly.
"Did my little spy just spit at me?" Poison asked, like a mother talking to a disobedient child.
"No." I replied, hastily. I said it so fast that I almost choked on my own words. Poison smiled nastily.
"Do remember what you're doing for me, Jinx. Betraying the gods." Poison said, drawing out her words to make mental scars. She turned her head so that her vibrant purple eyes glinted and her wavy brown hair could be seen from underneath the helmet.
"You betrayed them as well." I gasped out, trying to save my sanity.
"Dearest Jinx. I was never a goddess. When I went to live with the Titans, they transferred me over. Calling me a goddess is an insult and only a way for Zeus to further tighten his grip on everything." Poison said. My mouth opened and closed repeatedly. I struggled to keep up with her.
"Close your mouth, you coward." Poison spat. Her grip on her sword tightened. A vision of the frightening scythe flashed through my mind. Poison regained her nasty smile.
'Now do you have something important to tell me or are you just wasting my time?" Poison snarled. How I hated that bitch.
"The Olympians have moved away from their base in the Underworld. They're looking for the escaped Titans and you as well. I dropped a hint that they were headed for Greece and you to Rome." I told her quickly.
"Is that all my little spy has for me?" Poison asked in that mothering voice again.
"Yes! Now give me my daughter back!" I yelled at her. Poison glanced up.
"Which one?" She asked, venom dripping off her words.
"What do you mean? You have more than one!" I exclaimed. Poison rolled her eyes and spun on heel. I stood up and started after her. Suddenly, she spun and thrust her hand out. I was forced backwards by a wall of air.
"Being you have failed to choose, I will choose for you." She said and disappeared into the gloom. I struggled to get up, but the air held me down.
"I want all my children back, bitch!" I screamed. Poison walked back with Elizabeth thrown over her shoulder.
"Nope, only one for now. I've got to make sure that you stay loyal." Poison said, throwing Elizabeth down on top of me. My beautiful daughter was covering in her own Ichor, dirt, and grime. I stroked her hair and Elizabeth slowly began to wake up.
"Mom?" She asked in a small voice. Elizabeth looked up and saw Poison. She screamed and tried to squirm out of my arms.
"It's ok!" I exclaimed, clutching my daughter, "She's not gonna hurt you anymore." Poison rolled her eyes and shifted her weight to one leg.
"She tortured me! She did the same to Hope and Raymond too!" Elizabeth sobbed into my chest. I felt my eyes widened and my breath caught in my throat. She had Hope and Raymond too? I felt a tear slip down my face. Poison smiled as soon as she saw.
"Well if the sob-fest is over, I'd like to get on with my life." Poison spat. I looked up and smiled evilly. Poison looked at me weirdly.
"Someone's here. And they're not a Titan." She said, quietly. My smirk grew bigger.
"Attack!" I yelled, suddenly. Gods and goddesses ran out of the darkness. The yelled and screamed angry battle cries.
"I knew you were planning something." Poison said as her sword turned into a scythe. Titans rushed out of the darkness and the barren land became a battlefield. Poison was currently occupying herself with three minor gods. She laughed evilly and brought down all three gods in one sweep. Ichor flew everywhere, but none seemed to get on Poison. Poison swept her hand behind her. Raymond and Hope suddenly ran out onto the battlefield.
"Say goodbye to your children, Jinx dearest." Poison said. Poison swung her scythe and both of my children collapsed in a pool of Ichor. I couldn't tell whose screams were louder; mine or theirs. I helped Elizabeth up and we raced over to them. They were still alive. I looked around for Poison, but she was gone. The Titans had just disappeared. I sighed and watched as Apollo ran around, tending to the wounded. Poison was going to have my head for this betrayal.
