Hey guys, I kinda messed up. Lol. I forgot how to post chapters. I uploaded them but didn't post them. Pls don't hurt me. Hehe... Also, I am too lazy to change the authors notes. Lol. I am really sorry!
This was supposed to be posted a while ago as well as ch. 4 I feel really bad. Sorry guys:(
Sorry peoples it's kinda really late. Whoops! In my defense I had over 6 projects to do-literally. So without further ado, let's go mates!
Then Artemis flashed away to find out what Ares wanted Athena for. She wondered what could be important enough for Athena to leave in the middle of a council meeting. She had never done that before.
Artemis could still hear her family arguing as she flashed out.
ARTEMIS
"Athena...Athena... Athena"
The sound echoed around an empty palace. Artemis was confused. Athena almost never left her palace. She only left for council meetings, emergencies, and some… well… extenuating circumstances. But nobody had told the world they were better than Athena at something or defiled another temple…? Right? Right? Artemis pondered for a moment. She finally decided that no, nobody was that stupid, so Athena must be doing Ares's task.
Artemis then went to the gardens. Athena wasn't there either. Artemis then flashed all over Olympus, everywhere Athena could be. She was nowhere to be found. Artemis was very confused now. Athena never even left her palace much, and Olympus almost never. If she did now, then she really must believe the task is important.
Artemis then went back to Athena's palace. She would wait here until Athena came back. And if she didn't come back, she would go find her
One hour later
Athena still wasn't back. Maybe Ares lied to them all. Maybe all his new power came from joining with his grandfather. All the gods and goddesses knew Kronos was rising but Zeus and Poseidon, who care more about bickering over petty matters. No one knew or much cared with what Hades knew but Athena, Ares, or Artemis herself. But if Ares had joined Kronos, where is Athena. Did she go into a trap, believing Ares true? Is Ares going to pick off Olympians one by one? With each thought Artemis got more worried for Athena and angrier at Ares. Artemis then hurried out to try and find Athena.
On her way out she runs head first into someone who was trying to get into the palace. She let out a small shriek and punched forwards. Almost immediately, her hand was caught. She flung her other hand and it was deflected. As she went back for another hit, she heard him talk.
"Stop! It's me!"
She recognized the voice as Hermes. His speed was the only thing that saved him from a concussion. She narrowed her eyes at him and was about to lash out at him
"It's about Athena!" Hermes suddenly said. All of Artemis's anger suddenly drained out of her. She became worried.
"What's wrong?" Artemis asked.
"She is missing, we got a call for assistance from her." Hermes said.
"Did you tell the others?"
"They were too busy arguing to care. Zeus literally said she'll escape, she's smart, or supposed to be."
"Did anyone seem to care?"
"I don't know, but you were the only one not on Olympus other than Ares. He left a bit before the call, saying he had godly business to attend to. Zeus tried to stop him, but you can guess how much Ares cared. I'm off to go find him now to tell him."
Alarm bells went off in Artemis's head. Ares left right before Athena went missing. Maybe Athena was captured by Ares. Maybe Kronos had her right now! Artemis ran off, throwing a few drachmas at Hermes.
"Hey! There's no need to pay!" Hermes yelled. Artemis ignored him.
"Whatever", Hermes muttered, pocketing the drachmas as Artemis rapidly disappeared towards Olympus, jumping over clerks and younger gods and goddesses, "I might as well keep it, and it is my first tip in millennia."
Percy
Falling. Fast. Percy screamed, his body going into shock. Colors everywhere, whizzing, flying, bursting. His small body couldn't take the stress. Dark spots blinked in his vision. He started to go unconscious. The last thing he heard was the woman screaming "Grandson!" before his vision was overcome with the inky blackness.
BLOOPADEEBLOP
Percy groaned.
"My head," he thought feeling tired, "Where am I?" He looked around. He seemed to be on a bed. He sat up, wondering why he wasn't dead. The room wasn't lit well. The walls looked...pink? He let out a groan. He hurt all over, not just his head. He saw a desk next to his bed. It had what looked like cookies on a plate, next to a note reading "EAT ME". He thought for a moment. He decided that if he was actually alive, and someone saved him, they wouldn't kill him now, right? After he ate them he felt better. He let out an appreciative sigh but stopped when he heard footsteps. He quickly laid down again and pretended to sleep. The door opened.
"I know you're awake," a female voice said. Percy opened his eyes and sat up. All he could see in the dark doorway was a pair of cold, calculating, grey eyes.
Bum Bum Buuuuuum! Again sorry for the wait. Advice is always wanted! I will try to get you the next chapter soon. Goodbye Fellow Awsomerers.
