I have updated this morning and I finished the chapter sooner than expected. Here's a treat!
Disclaimer found on the prologue
Percy was standing near the lake. He seemed to have been in deep thought.
Percy's summer was going to an end. Soon he would have to go back to Goode to study. But how will he help if he was at the safety of his house? Would the murderer get him there too?
Percy's mom would have an episode if she were to find out about the murderer. But is it all worth it? Risking his life to catch the murderer? Or should he go back to school and be safe? He just wasn't so sure what he wanted anymore.
"What should I do...?" he whispered to the wind.
"Oi, fishface! What are you doing there?" Thalia shouted.
That shocked Percy out of his thoughts. "I should be the one asking that. What are YOU doing here, pinecone face?"
"Lady Artemis gave me a week off." Thalia smirked "Why aren't with your wisegirl?"
Percy blushed. He tried to stutter out something.
"Anyway, back to business," said Thalia "What is this rumour about a Half-blood Hunter?"
Percy had nearly face palmed. He forgot to warn Nico and Thalia. But seeing Thalia knew he need only warn Nico.
"Thalia you have to get back to Lady Artemis he could target you!" Percy warned, forgetting an essential key factor.
"Percy..." Thalia said, seeing Percy trying to encourage her to go back "I can only be killed in battle. If he were to target me, he couldn't kill me."
Now that's when Percy face palmed. "I forgot..."
"Course you did, it's because you head is full of kelp."
-Line Break-
Trinidad woke up to the smell of blood. She shot out of her bed faster than you can say the capital of Spain. She quickly entered the room where she smelled the blood and gasped at the scene.
-Line Break-
"Hey everyone." Thalia greeted, once she joined the meeting.
"Thalia! I didn't know you were here!" Annabeth said, hugging her best friend.
"¡Ayuda! ayuda! sangre! ¡Está muerto!" Trinidad screamed as she ran into the room.
"What? Calm down. We can't understand you."
"¡Está muerto!"
"Who's dead?" Leo asked.
"This is what I called the meeting for," Chiron said, sadly "Theodore Ra has been killed by the hunter."
-Line Break-
"We can't just sit here and watch as our children get murdered!" Ares shouted.
"You actually care for your children?" Hera asked, surprised.
Ares just growled, not wanting to anger his mother.
"For once Ares is right, father," Hephaestus started (Ares grumbled at the background) "We can't just sit here and do nothing, when we have all the power in the world to stop the murderer.
"Our children have been killed before, what makes this time so different from the others?" Zeus asked them.
"Father," Athena said "If I may?"
Zeus nodded. "This time is different because then they died because they were on a quest. Now, there's someone after them. And they don't even know it yet."
"They do know it. Some don't."
"That's why we should help them."
"You know what would help them, cereal. See if that murderer had enough cereal he wouldn't be on this murder spree." Demeter said. Most of the gods and goddesses groaned.
"According to law, we cannot interfere with our children's lives."
"Can't we just ignore that rule-" Hermes started
"Yes, Hermes seems to be good at that."
"And help them for once? So they don't feel abandoned." Hermes recalled sadly about Luke and how he felt abandoned by him. He didn't want any of the demigods to feel that.
The gods and goddesses watched as Hermes sadly.
"Still, we cannot interfere."
"CAN YOU JUST LET US HELP THEM ALREADY!"
"AS I SAID APOLLO, WE CAN NOT INTERFERE WITH THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN! AND THAT IS FINAL!"
-Line Break-
"Hmmm… Even the gods of Olympus are getting restless." He looked at the sky which was rumbling with thunder and lightning.
"Even the old sot is getting restless."
The strawberry plants were going haywire. He clicked his tongue, and odd habit he hadn't been able to destroy.
"I'm sure they would like to hear this." He clicked his tongue again. He left with an envelope tucked underneath his arms.
-Line Break-
"Bright cold silver moon. Tonight alone in my room. You were here just yesterday." A boy with brown hair, blue eyes with glasses sang. He was strumming a red guitar.
"Slight turn of the head. Eyes down when you said. I guess I need my life to change. Seems like something's jus-"
"DIMITRI!" a blond, grey eyed boy shouted. Dimitri sighed.
"What is it Malcolm?"
"Have you seen Annabeth? I need to tell her something."
"I have not Malcolm, and can you not see I am a bit busy?"
"Er… Yes, busy." Malcolm stressed on the word busy. "Well, thanks!" Malcolm left, mumbling about how the son of Apollo only cared about music and basketball.
Dimitri continued to play the song.
-Line Break-
'Why bother trying if this is what would result? Give it everything you got, you pathetic half-bloods
ZG'
"Who do you know that has the initials ZG?" Annabeth automatically asked.
"No one…" everybody answered.
"What do you mean? There has to be one! The initials here are ZG!"
"What do you suppose it could mean…?"
"We can only guess." Chiron said
"Maybe he made a mistake…?" Leo asked. All of the counselors were thinking about that.
"No Leo, though he's only made three murders he seems meticulous enough not to make a mistake."
"Then what could it mean Annabeth?"
"I don't know, Percy, but I can't stand not knowing anything."
Percy smiled. "Aren't all Athena children like that?"
"Shut up Percy." She started smacking Percy.
"OUCH! Stop hittin- OUCH! THAT REALLY HURTS. NO SERIOUSLY! IT'S STARTING TO HURT!"
Everybody laughed, relieved to have a comedic relief from all these stress.
-Line Break-
A boy clicked his tongue. "Here's the envelope you wanted."
"You need to stop that habit of yours, Evion."
"Well, sorry. I grew up with it." He stared at the figure in front of him.
"What are you going to do after you finished with your revenge? Why now of all times?"
"Let them catch me. Make them do whatever they want. I don't really care. I can be at peace after that. To your second question, I needed to perfect everything I got."
Evion clicked his tongue. "You're really ambitious."
"I need to be…"
"Good luck then."
-Chapter End-
The song Dimitri sang was Tongue Tied by Faber Drive, which I do not own
