Hey People, I am back :O Didn´t guess that, did you ;) I know, I know I took forever to update this, but I have a Major authors block at the Moment. Then there is the point that our teachers are mean to us, writing tests nearly every day and GIVING HOMEWORK OVER THE EASTER HOLIDAYS, I mean who does that? Is it really necessary to let the students write an Essay? I don´t think so.
Anyway, after the awesome Reviews I got, I decided to update today (finally) Thanks to the new followers and Favors I got. Everytime I get a new one, or a new Review, my day gets better, so thank you :D
Soooo, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Also, someone asked if the other Olympians would act more. In this chapter, not really. But, in the future there will definitívely come some fun with them. So, Keep reading :D
Also, Enjoy :3
~ Chapter 5 ~
Annabeth pov
"Come, join me Annie" He said with his playful smirk. I glared at him for calling me that, that horrible name (AN\ Sorry to all who have this name. I just try to write, how Annabeth would act). Do you want to know the sad part? He didn´t even flinch; he seemed only more amused by my actions. Stupid boy. (AN\ She´d make a very good Hunter, don´t you think so?)
_"Don´t, for the sake of your life, call me Annie!" I shrieked. Okay, I am honest with you. It was very girly like, but don´t ever say I admitted that! "Sshh!" came the reply from a few tables away. Ups. I felt the head on my cheeks and knew I was blushing like crazy. Embarrassed, I sat down. I hadn't even noticed that I was still standing. Oh shit.
Percy of course –how could it be different?- snickered at my embarrassment. "Shut up" I mumbled, what only caused him to laugh harder. "Sshh!" Came yet again from somewhere behind the bookshelves. Now it was his time to blush. Huh? Am I wrong or did he blush a little bit golden? But this was impossible. I mean, it isn´t like he has gold blood or something. I snickered mentally at my stupidity.
It was then that something strange happened. Percy got a panicked look and snapped his fingers in front of my face. A shockwave rolled then through the air. It brought a little dizziness over me, but nothing more happened. I shot him a questioning look and raised my eyebrow. Now he looked even more shocked, as if he had seen a ghost (AN\ if only she knew… xD ) "What was THAT? What did you do?" I asked, keeping my voice very low as to not get any more attention. My brain was driving very fast, trying to solve the riddle, that was seated in front of me.
"Perseus pov"
What the heck? How could the Mist NOT affect her? I am a very powerful god- hey don´t look at me like that! It´s true! - so it definitively should have worked on her. Why didn't it? She couldn´t be one of the few people that could see through the mist, or could she?
This would be just my rotten luck. There is only a hand full of people that have this talent. Of course it would be just my luck to go to a school, where one of these few people is. Oh, and it also happens that she is one of my only friends. Yay, exactly what I wanted: someone to blow up my cover. NOTE THE SARCASM PLEASE! Thank you.
Great, what do I do now? This makes my punishment a lot more difficult. I´ll have to be very careful around her. She must be suspicious about me. Hopefully, she doesn´t think that I am some kind of monster or something like that. This would be really bad, because I don´t want her to end up in a mental hospital. Ugh, why is my immortal life so complicated?
"What did you do?" Oh, fuck. She noticed. Well, I am screwed. I was about to answer her, when someone interrupted us. Mental note to self, thank this person.
Appollo pov
I sat in my math lessons. It was sooooo boring. This hot chick was probably the only interesting thing in here. She sat in front of me and the little man in my pants… Well, you get the idea. (AN\ :O ) Hey, don´t look at me like that! I have manly desires too, you know.
I then heard a faint whisper in my head. What the…? I concentrated harder and the voice got clearer. "Apollo, get you lazy ass up to Olympus. NOW!" "Okay, okay lil´ sis. No need to shout inside my head." "Don´t call me little sis! BY Zeus godly underwear, I am older than you. I even helped mother give birth to you, you dimwit. Get this in this tiny brain of yours. Now, come. They are all waiting. Oh, and bring Perce too. We can´t contact him for some strange reason. Zeus is throwing a tantrum…" And with thsat my sis left my mind.
*sigh* I just love to annoy her. It keeps my day sunny :D . I signaled the teacher that I wanted to say something and he motioned me to go on. "Excuse me sir, but may I go to the toilet please? I don´t feel too good." I played a little with the mist, so I looked paler and sick. "Of course. You can go. Maybe it would be best, if you would go home, you look really sick." He said worried. I mentally snickered at the irony. The god of truth is telling lies that mortals believe in an instant.
Anyway, I got up and left the room. Percy, I am coming to get you.
~ Line break~
Can you imagine that my jaw nearly hit the floor when I saw him in the library (nothing new), but with a very, very hot chick? No? Well, I can. Since his last date, nearly half a century passed. Some gods, including me thought he was gay or something like that, because normally it´s just in our nature to fuck every hot girl we see. How did you thought, all those demigods came to be? Brought by the stork? (An\ I probably should explain the stork thing. In Germany, in the region I am living, many parents tell their children when they are still too young to know about sex, that babies are brought be the stork. It even gives the myth, that when you lay sugar on your window bench, you´ll get pregnant overnight in case you do "it". Don´t know if this actually works though)
Back to the topic at hand. Where was I? Oh yes: Percy and his soon to be girlfriend. (God of prophecy at you service) I cleared loudly my throat, bringing them out of their uhm discussion, and went to talk to Perseus. "Excuse me, but is it possible that I speak to you Perce? It is really important." I said, a knowing smirk plastered on my face. "You can talk to your girlfriend later. By the way, care to introduce me to this lovely lady?" I said, winking in her direction.
The first comment made them both blush, the latter deepened (whose name was still hidden from me) but had on Perseus the wished effect: Jealousy was clearly shown in his face.
"She is not my girlfriend" yet, I added in my thoughts to his comment. "but anyway, this is Annabeth. Annabeth, this is Apollo, my annoying twin brother." He gestured with his hands. I smiled on her a genuine, but not flirtatious smile. "It is nice to meet you Annabeth. I wish we could talk longer, but we have family problems and Perce here" I bumped his arm " is as much needed as I am. We really have to hurry. Arty sounded really worried." The latter part I directed at Percy, looking expectantly at him. He of course got the hint and nodded.
"I am sorry Annie" at this name the girl sent him a glare that could make Hades´ furies shiver in fear. I think it´s needless to say, even I flinched a little bit. "but I have to go. See you tomorrow?" He offered her. To the last part she smiled at him and nodded, the glare lessening quickly. "Enough talked, lovebirds. Perce, we really need to get moving." I gestured with my hands that we really had no time to lode.
He nodded, waved at Annabeth good bye and went in the direction of the door. I ran after him, but not before making a kissing motion in the girls´ direction, causing her to blush again. A soon as we were out of side, we teleported to Olympus. I wore a really big, knowing smile, to which Percy only, even if playful glared. After the bright, us engulfing light faded, we were gone.
~ Mount Olympus, Throne Room ~
I hate Apollo sometimes even more than Tartarus- been there, done that- because he can be really annoying, when he wants to be. *sigh* Anyway, we arrived in the middle of the Throne room. All the other gods were already present. Athena had a sad, fearful expression, Artemis looked concerned and Poseidon seemed very tired. Wow, it has been roughly a day since I was gone, and here is already a bad mood.
"Perseus, Apollo, finally you´re here. There is much we have to discuss." This surprisingly came from Hera. "Yes, my wife is wright. Please go to your thrones." Zeus added. Even his voice sounded tired. "Zeus, why have you called this meeting? Has something bad happened?" I asked. Mentally I scolded myself. Of course had something bad happened, otherwise wouldn´t the mood be down to Hell.
"Yes Perseus, indeed it has. Athena, if you please …" She got the hint and nodded. She then began explaining. "We have noticed that there is a strange group of demigods or maybe even demititans that is travelling all over the world. Normally, this wouldn´t be a problem at all, but with the given circumstances, this could get really bad." She said. My brain was working very hard. Why would a little group like this build a threat to Olympus?
"Don´t think too much about it. I am going to tell you." She directed to me. I motioned for her to go on. This was very serious, hopefully this wouldn´t end like the last war we fought…
"I don´t know exactly, why they are doing what they do at the moment, but I´ll tell you as much as I know. This group we were taking about, isn´t very large, maybe 10 to 15 members. This is nothing compared to the Hunt in numbers, but in skills, they are nearly unstoppable. Their goal, as much as I can tell is to make chaos and destruction. They travel from city to city and leave many dead mortals, demigods, satyrs as well as other creatures behind. Brutally murdered, I might add. Children are slaughtered, and young teenage girls taken as slaves, for what, you really don´t want to know." She said, the last part being only a whisper.
"We need to stop them as soon as we can. Artemis and her Hunters are already trying to catch him, but all attempts for now failed. I thought that maybe, it would be best to unite our special troops, Artemis maidens and you warriors to stop them. It also would be best, if only one god would accompany them. Two gods would radiate a strong aura, strong enough to be felt by the prey."
I thought about the new information. Many lives were in danger and I agreed. This needed to stop. But on the other side, my warriors were not too font of girls, neither were Artemis´ Hunters of boys. To unite them could also end very badly. "I mostly agree with your plan, but the Hunt has to agree with it as well. My warriors will follow my command, even if this means to work with girls. I would suggest Artemis to travel with them, as I want my punishment to be over as soon as possible. Also, the Hunters wouldn´t follow the command of a male, even if the chosen one was a god."
Most understood what I was saying. I shot Arty a questioning glance. She looked at me and then thought about me words. She seemed to find the logic in them, because she nodded in understanding in my direction. "I get what he is saying, and I agree. I´ll unite the groups and hunt these people down. When I found them, I shall bring them here." The silver eyed goddess, which I considered my sister as well said.
"I think this is reasonable, father." Athena agreed. "We shall vote. Everyone in favor?" At this, all hand rose in the air. It was decided. "Good, Artemis, get the Hunters ready; Perseus, you´ll talk to your warriors. Meet tomorrow morning and then begin the Hunt. After you left them, you´ll go back to the school, understood Perseus?" He asked, looking at me with a glare. Should I be impressed by this? Nah, I´ve seen worse. When I nodded, he seemed satisfied. "Good, everyone back to your duties. Council dismissed." With that, Zeus and most of the gods flashed out of the great hall.
"I think it would be best to meet at sunrise at the gates of central Park. Don´t be late." The remaining, silver eyed goddess said. I struck my tongue out at her, causing her to roll her eyes, but I could clearly see the playful smirk, that made its way across her face. "See you tomorrow, Arty." I waved at her, and then I too, flashed away. A talk with my warriors was awaiting me. Oh joy.
Aaaannddd cut. That´s it for today. I hope you like this chapter, even if it´s reather boring, but like I said, auhtors block. I just recently found my inspiration again. So, again sorry for the Long wait.
See you next chapter
