World War Three is back! May I say, I love this story. Maybe it's just what you feel when you just start a story. I don't know. But I am pretty sad ;( No one reviewed last chapter. I just got tons of story alerts. Please review!

Percy's PoV.

Darker and darker. Faster and faster. That's what the bubble was doing. Annabeth was fine, but I could tell she was freaked out from the darkness around her. I, on the other hand, was outside of the bubble. My hand was still holding her hand but I had to be outside to see where to go. If you haven't already guessed, we are going to see Poseidon.

A black wall slammed my face. I heard Annabeth yelp. I looked around and realized that we were at the palace. But I couldn't see any forms of life. Even the lights were off. Where was everyone?

"Percy! Are you ok?"

I went back inside the bubble. "I'm fine. We just reached the palace. No one is inside. I'm wondering what happened to them…"

"Go to the throne room."

"But-"

"Percy! Get your butt to the throne room!"

"Sheesh, ok."

I went outside of the bubble and dragged Annabeth to where the throne room should be. The halls were deserted. Even in the kitchen, no one could be seen. Some things looked like they had been resting there for days. The food that looked like it was being chopped was growing mold. How could I have not known about this?

We entered the throne room. I gasped, if you could gasp underwater. My father's throne was knocked down. My father's most prized possession, next to his trident, the whirlpool, was broken in four pieces on the floor. Chunks of the palace were everywhere. Clubs and swords littered the ground, so we could tell they hadn't given up without a fight. It looked like a mad firework had gone off inside the throne room with everyone in it. My father was nowhere to be seen. Even some dead… I won't go into detail. My father's palace had been attacked, and no one has been seen.

"Percy? Are we there yet?"

I went inside the bubble. I knew some tears were streaking down my face, but I hopped that they wouldn't show.

"Are you ok? Why are you crying?"

"Annabeth- my father was attacked. His throne was toppled. Dead people- dead citizens of my father are out there!"

Annabeth put her hand on my shoulder and hugged me. She began to cry too.

"Why are you crying?" I asked her.

She pulled away and looked at me straight in the eyes. "They have come here too."

No.

No way.

This cannot be happening.

"Percy calm down. We have to leave. There might be people-"

"There isn't. My eyes are heat sensitive. There is almost complete darkness, except for the dying heat of the… honored citizens."

Annabeth wiped a tear from my cheek. "Don't worry. We will figure it out."

She stood there in silence for a moment, and I could tell that she was thinking of any tiny possibilities we might have. Her eyes widened with a mixture of many emotions.

"Thalia."

I almost jumped at the name. Thalia was with the Hunters of Artemis when the camp was attacked, could she have made it out?

"We have to save her." I said.

"But where could she be? We have no idea."

I smiled to Annabeth. "It's the basics. Have you heard of whirlpools?"

Remind me to never take Annabeth swimming again. She did not like the idea of a whirlpool.

"Percy! We are going to get ourselves killed!"

"It's not Charbydis! Would you let me explain?"

She stopped thrashing. "You have one minute."

"Ok, well, my father taught me this last year. He said the whirlpools have a huge significance in Greek mythology. He showed me the power I had over them. They act as portals. Any child of the sea could use it. All I have to do is be in the whirlpool and think of where I want to be. It will take me there from the mist in the air and I will land where I want to be."

"Can it work for thinking of people?"

"I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it will."

"Will it work for me?"

"As long as you are touching me when we are transported, then you are fine."

She grabbed my hand and smiled. "Where is the nearest whirlpool?"

My smile faded. We would have to use the 'practice' whirlpool because the one my father uses was shattered on the floor. "Um, you're not going to like this, but it's the toilet."

"No, I'm not going to like this, but I'll do it if we can get to Thalia."

"Ok, let's go."

I led her down a few hallways to the nearest bathroom. It seems as if they didn't attack anything but the throne room. The door to the bathroom was open, and I stepped inside with Annabeth. Thank the gods the toilet wasn't in use. I stuck my foot in the bowl and grabbed Annabeth's hand tightly. I flushed the toilet and thought long and hard about Thalia. I thought about how I had rescued her from the tree. I remembered the Titan war. But my focus was on one memory. When Thalia decided to become one of the Hunters of Artemis. I could feel the whirlpool suck my foot in and my world turned upside down like I was on a rollercoaster.

We were in a clearing. The tents were littered on the ground, and it was obvious that they were attacked. No one could be seen. Even Lady Artemis was gone. I picked up a broken sword on the ground. It was made of… gold? The hilt of the sword had been broken off. Many others like those littered the ground next to broken arrows. I collapsed on my knees. Thalia and the Hunters had been taken. My last chance of hope was gone.

I felt a hand on my back and turned around to see Annabeth pointing in the trees. One tree was rustling very much. Something was in there. I drew Riptide. Annabeth took out her dagger. The rustling stopped. Then huge fits of laughter could be heard. A figure in a parka came out and ran at us. I hefted my sword.

"Percy! Is that anyway to treat a cousin?"

My eyes went wide. "Thalia?"

Thalia took off her hood and glomped Annabeth and me in a hug.

"I was so worried! Those people came for us! I wanted to fight along side the hunters, but Lady Artemis told me to hide!" she looked behind her.

"Jason, can you come out?"

A sandy blond haired boy appeared from the bushes. His bright blue eyes were wary of us. He hand a purple shirt on with armor on top. He held the hilt of the broken sword on the ground.

"Thalia, are you sure this is ok?" he asked.

Thalia put an arm around his shoulder. "It's ok, little brother."

"Little brother?"

Thalia sighed. "I have got some explaining to do."

Thalia showed us a few pillows that were leftover from the attack to sit on. We sat down, but I was vaguely reminded of when Bianca chose to be a hunter, and Annabeth disappearing.

"Let's start from the beginning. The Hunters and I were hanging out here to do, well, hunting. Phoebe said she heard something and went to look outside of the clearing. She came back, but she was tied up and being led by some army. All of us raised our bows at once, but a wolf appeared in front of us.

The wolf said, "Do not attack us, Hunters of Diana."

We were all confused, because we were the Hunters of Artemis. Lady Artemis stepped forward. The wolf smiled.

Lady Artemis said, "Lupa. It is a pleasure, but I am in my Greek form right now. "

"We understand. Our camp was attacked. We could not find any of the Olympians so we came to find you," Lupa looked behind her shoulder. "Praetor Grace! Give us a status report!"

A blond boy, about sixteen of seventeen, stepped up with a scroll. "100 were kidnapped. Six are reported dead. That leaves fifteen of us remaining."

While he was talking, I saw his upper lip move. He had a crescent scar on there. I walked slowly up, and began to touch it. Now, I know this is kind of stalkerish, but you will understand why I did it.

Anyways, the boy jumped back in surprise. He yelled, "Are you insane?"

My eyes didn't come off of him. "Jason…?"

He looked surprised. "How do you know my name?"

"Jason," I repeated. "Jason!" I took him in a huge hug. "Jason, do you remember me?"

He shook his head no. My heart went down.

"Jason! I'm your sister, Thalia Grace. Don't you remember?"

Jason looked at me with uncertainty. But his eyes widened in surprise. "Thalia…"

He took my in a huge hug and I began to cry. It's not like you get to see your long lost brother everyday.

Lady Artemis whirled around, even though nothing could be heard. She looked back at us and took Jason and me by the arm. She whispered to us, "Hide. You guys are children of the sky. Use it as your advantage."

Jason and I were still pretty confused, but we did what Lady Artemis asked for. Jason immediately rose in the air, and I cried out. But it turns out; children of the sky can do that. I rose along with him. We hid in the air and among the trees. I kept looking down at the battle below us. Some guys in military uniforms had arrived. They were fighting Lady Artemis. When she tried to use her Olympian powers, they wouldn't work. She had to fight on instinct, and without her Olympian powers, she lost easily. Lupa began to fight, but she was no match for them either. The soldiers took everyone away, except for me and Jason."

"This still doesn't explain about him," I pointed to Jason, "being your brother."

"I was getting to that, Percy!" Thalia looked back at Jason, "Would you like to tell this part of the story?"

Jason nodded his head. "After the fight, Thaila and I stayed in the tree for what seemed like hours on end. We weren't floating anymore, so we had time to talk.

"Where have you been?" She asked.

(!) "The Legion. The demigod camp, you know?"

She looked at me weirdly. "You mean Camp Half-Blood?"

"Camp Half-Blood? What's that?"

"You mean…. Who is Lupa?"

"Our director, leader, head, just about everything to us."

Thalia thought for a few moments. Her eyes kept wandering to my scar. "Jason, I know we have the same mother, and supposedly the same father, but who is your godly parent?"

"Jupiter, of course. Lady Diana just told you we were children of the sky."

Thalia's eyes widened and she almost fell out of the tree. "Jason…. My father is Zeus."

"You mean Jupiter?"

Thalia slapped me upside the head. "Get this in your head, little brother!"

"I'm not little! I'm older than you!"

Thalia laughed. "I'm immortal. I have been one day away from sixteen for the past five years. Back to topic. Your daddy is Jupiter. My daddy is Zeus. What does that tell you?"

"That our dad likes to change his name?"

Thalia face palmed her face. "Let's put this in easier words. Your dad is Jupiter, which equals Rome. My daddy is Zeus, which equals Greece. You show up and talk about the Legion. I show up and talk about Camp Half-Blood. Do you understand?"

I nodded my head. "There's Roman and Greek demigods and they have separate camps."

Thalia nodded her head, but I could see a tear slip from her cheek. "I just hope they are ok…"

I didn't have to ask, I knew she was talking about the people at Camp Half-Blood."

Annabeth gripped my hand tightly. I knew she was thinking about the people that were at Camp Half-Blood. Silent tears streaked from my eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Thalia asked.

"Thals, we were the only ones, that we know of, to escape from Camp Half-Blood." Annabeth said.

"What happened? Who are these (!) freaking bastards that attacked us? Why, if I ever find them, I'm gonna…"

I took Thalia's hand. "Thalia, calm down. If these people can fight a god and win, don't think you can fight against them too."

Thalia's gaze hardened. I could tell this was a touchy subject for her. She ripped her hand away from me. "Explain. Now."

I sighed. No arguing with Thalia. I explained the details of the kidnapping, fighting, and deaths that we saw. She even teared up when she heard about Travis and Connor. When I told her about my father's throne room, she threw a rock at the nearest tree.

"What do they want with us! How can these mortals control us?"

"That's what we are trying to find out. But when we were trying to escape, this guy, I assume the leader, told us that our 'kind' had terrorized them for the last time. He said the destruction on Manhattan was billions of dollars. And Thals, you are going to be unhappy to hear this, but Nico is on their side."

Thalia stopped throwing rocks. She turned around and glared at me. I flinched. "Why would I be unhappy? Sure, it's stupid to do. He is like Luke. And if you haven't noticed, I'm a freaking Hunter of Artemis!"

Annabeth glanced at me. I'll get it out of her later.

I nodded. "It's ok. Calm down. But if they can win against a god, I say we get out of here."

"Why?"

"I'm Percy Jackson. They are sure to notice that they didn't get me. I'm the one that caused the most destruction in Manhattan. Besides, I'm sure they can track us down. We have to go someplace that they would least expect it."

Annabeth thought about it for a moment. "Kansas."

"What?"

"Kansas. It's a landlocked state. It's right in the middle of the country. They will expect you by the coast. It's where your powers are stronger."

"But they would understand that we want to go where they least expect it, so they will go to Kansas."

"Then they will expect you to go to the coast because you thought of this. Look Percy, this can go on forever. Let's go to Kansas."

Jason shrugged. "We could go to Mexico. The Mexicans will hide us."

Thalia shoved him. "Shut up. We are going to Kansas."

"But how? I'm sure we can't get there by car without them knowing."

Thalia glared at me. "You are such a Seaweed Brain. Do you know where we are now?"

"No…"

"Colorado! That's right next to Kansas!"

"Hitchhike? I don't feel like walking through a whole state."

Annabeth's eyes lit up. "What about that whirlpool travel that you do?"

"I can't do it often. If I do it more than twice a week, I'll drain all my energy."

"But we have to leave before tomorrow!"

"That's the problem. How are we going to?

I thought hard. My brain probably overloaded, but I kept thinking. Could we shadow travel? No Mrs. O'Leary or Nico. Could we fly? Zeus would blast me out of the sky… unless…

"Blackjack." I said.

"Will he respond from this far away?"

"I'm not sure… GROVER!"

"But he was probably kidnapped along with everyone else."

"He wasn't! He was at a school in Connecticut! I can use the empathy link. It's nighttime, so it will probably show up in his dreams."

"Do it! We don't have all day! I mean night."

I closed my eyes and focused on Grover. Grover… Listen to me… Camp was attacked. If pegasi are still there, bring them to Colorado. Details later. Hurry!

"Did it. I can only hope Grover listened."

Thalia broke down and cried. I couldn't expect it. She was the tough one, the rock. She couldn't be crying. But she was sobbing her heart out.

"Thals, calm down. It'll be alright."

She looked up quickly with her face red with tears. "No it won't!" She screamed. "We will be on the run FOREVER! These people are ruthless killers! I SAW THEM WITH MY OWN EYES KILL ONE OF THE HUNTERS. Do you know how sick that is? These people can defeat GODS," she wiped a tear from her cheek. "There's no hope," she said in a small voice.

Annabeth seemed outraged. "THALIA GRACE! Don't you dare give up! You're the one that always tells us to keep going even when the times are tough. Do you know how many times I wanted to give up on the run? ALL THE TIME. You kept me going. Now its my turn. Think of World War Two. The Jewish people had to go through this but ten times worse! Six million people died! If you think this is tough, think of them. They made it through. This is World War Three," she punched her fist into her hand. "Let the fights begin."

Uhmm, hey guys?

1- The Legion is what I named the camp in my other story

2- I have been using this word alot xD I'll try harder not to

Wow. When I wrote that ending, I almost cried. The Holocaust is a touchy subject for me. Oh well, I like writing about it. Or maybe it's just Anne Frank. I read her biography when I was really young and I am traumatized for life. xD I'm trying to make this VERY emotional.
