~ Chapter 6 ~

Annabeth pov

I was a little sad that Perseus had to leave, but I was also glad about it. Sure, he was a very nice guy, but he has something very strange on him. For one, there is this strange sort of aura that screams for power and dominance. It was hard to notice, but it was there. I know for sure that normal people don´t have this, but he has it and he is normal, or is he?

Then some memories from my childhood flashed into my mind. Pictures of monsters, gigantic dogs and men with only one eye were some of them. When I was little, I was almost sure that demons and monsters existed, so my parents looked sympathetically at me. But when I grew older and believed in special beings out there, they gave me strange glances, like I lost my mind. I even overheard a conversation in which they discussed if they should send me, me of all people to a mental hospital. Lucky for me, I guessed why they wanted to do this, so I stopped talking about that topic at all.

Anyway, I drifted a little off topic there, didn´t I? I was ripped out of my thoughts as the school bell rang, signaling the break for those who hadn´t free time. Still a little in my thoughts, I didn´t see the mop of brown hair and the warm hazel eyes that came my way, that is until they crashed into me.

Shit, I should´ve paid more attention to my surroundings. Now, I ran into Jenn. Great, just great. "Annie!" and here it comes. I sighed deep before I looked at my friend. "Don´t call me THAT!" I shrieked. Please not this again. Over a time, it gets boring and annoying to tell people always the same things. I was happy Perseus couldn´t call me that at the moment, but of course I had to forget about Jenn.

"Is it true what they all murmur? " She asked overly excited, an evil glint in her eyes. Well fuck. One of the worst things on this world is a pissed Jenn. You don´t want to see THAT. I shuddered at this thought. But it could get worse. You know surely that you are doomed, when you have an overly excited on, because she is annoying, cunning and unstoppable when she set her eyes on something that makes her happy. One example for that is shopping. I usually like it but shopping with her, let´s just say it´s worse than hell. And my problem was, that she currently was in one of these happy moods.

"I don´t know what you are talking about." I said a little bit confused, a very little bit of fear in my voice. I seriously had no plan what she was talking about, and I wasn´t so sure, if I even wanted to know.

"I am talking about you dating Mr. "hot and sexy" and I want to be the first one to know the entire truth. All of it!" She said, or more like demanded to know. Huh, Mr. "hot and sexy" what was she talking abo- "OH, no, no no no no no you got that the wrong way. We are NOT dating. We are just friends and this is already too much, considering the fact that we only met today." I said. Only later did I realize that what I said was very cliché. But hey, you can´t really blame me. Okay, maybe you can, but you wouldn´t do that to me, or would you?

Back to the topic, I´m drifting of it again, am I not? "Sure, whatever you say, Anna." She said, a smirk still plastered on her face. "Uhm, Jenn what subject do you have next lesson? I have architecture." She looked at her timetable and grimaced at what she was seeing. "Uhg, I have science. Anyway, have you met the other new kid yet? His name is Apollo, sat last lesson behind me. And I have to admit, if Benny and I weren´t dating, I would definitively say that he is the hottest guy around here, that is after Percy. Mean, have you looked at those blue eyes and gold-" From there on I zoned out a bit. I don´t know why, but I am definitively not a person, that gossips and drools over every new and handsome guy. Sure, I admit that Perseus was hot, but that didn´t mean that I couldn´t stop drooling over him.

"Uhm Jenn? I have to go to my lessons. Do you and Benny want to come over later? Today is movie and pizza night at my house, only my mum should be home. Dad has to work and the twins are at some friends tonight." She thought a little bit about this and then nodded enthusiastically. "That is actually a great idea. We as in Benny, you and I can talk privately about your future boyfriend then. See you!" And before I could reply was she out of my sight, hidden in the crowd of students. I sighed deeply after that. What had I gotten myself into?

Perseus pov

I arrived somewhere in the woods of Germany. While the Arty´s Hunters were seated in America, I had my troop travelling over Europe and Asia. We had bunkers and eyes practically everywhere. Especially the Sea of monsters and Germany were locations under our watch. I think the Sea of MONSTERS is obvious, but Germany not so. The reason is that at some time, people started to believe in Norse "mythology" and with this came new gods, and more important: new monsters. That made this area a wonderful training sector, which we used quite often. Yes, we. As in, me too.

I am bound by the ancient laws, that´s true, but I have loopholes, just like Artemis has some too. She is the goddess of hunting, so she is allowed to hunt with her girls together. I am the god of heroes, so I get to work with them. Ad if you don´t know, the definition of hero isn´t very exact, so practically everyone can become a hero, or is already one. You get my point, don´t you? ;) So, yeah I can practically interfere with everyone, even mortals as long as I see them fit to be or become a Hero. I love loopholes.

Okay, back to the topic. I looked at my surroundings and noticed that I was little farther away from camp than I thought. Ugh, me and my coordinating skills. They led me to walking around in a forest. At least I could feel the auras from the warriors, so it wasn´t that hard to find them. As arrived, I wanted to be as quite as possible and play some pranks on them. Now and then, we did this to each other, just for fun and to keep the boredom at bay. Like the Hunters were they immortal. One or two were even older than a few gods, like Artemis, Apollo or Ares. It was good having someone around who was immortal even before they joined, like Nicolas my Lieutenant. They understood the advantages and problems of living forever better than the younger ones.

It also helped immensely that some were at least mentally adults, so the younger ones had someone to look up to and care for. They needed it. Like this little nine year old boy we found last week in another forest, somewhere in France. He had so much fear in his eyes, it was heartbreaking. But my older boys cared for him, heck even I fussed around him like a mother hen (but don´t say I admitted that!). His name was Jonathan. He had brown, messy hair and warm chocolate brown eyes. He was very tiny for his age, but we guessed it had to do with the problem, that he spent the last two month living in the woods.

I was happy that I could see them that soon again, but I also knew that I couldn´t stay long. Tomorrow I would bring them to Artemis, so she could take them with her and her Hunters. And for that, I needed to prepare them. As I was about to seek into camp, I sadly tapped on a twig. The cracking sound wasn´t very loud, but the happy talking in the camps, that was there a few moments ago stopped at all. Great, now they heard me. Hopefully they won´t attack before they see who it is. Sadly (again), some arrows came straight my way. Lucky for me, I was prepared for this and caught some of them in between my fingers. As the archers realized that it was me they were using as target, they stopped shooting bowed their heads. Deep silvery blushes could be seen on their cheeks. I chuckled lightly at that.

"What a very nice come back. I am so happy to see you too." I said sarcastically. By now, all tents were empty, so before me stood a total of 20 boys and young men. A little mop of brown hair clutched itself tightly on my left leg, which I recognized instantly as Jonathan. "You are back" He whispered into my pants. I chuckled a little and lifted him up in my arms. "Yes, it looks like it." I whispered back to him. He and some boys in the front laughed lightly at this, others cued.

"Boys, I know we just finished a hunt, but we have a new mission from Olympus. I would normally tell this to you all, but I want a word with my Lieutenant and the councilors. They will tell you later, what you need to know." I shouted, now speaking to all of them. Some groaned at that, sad not to be in the meeting, others just looked worried. They knew that if I wanted to talk to the "leaders" privately, that something major was going to happen or that big problems laid ahead.

I walked to my tent, Jonny still in my arms, and entered. "Do you have to go again?" A very quiet voice asked me. I set the little boy down before I looked him straight in the eyes and gave him a reassuring smile. "Yes, but don´t worry Jonathan. I need you warriors for something very big. I´ll say more in a few moments, when the others arrive, but I´ll tell you something. I won´t be with you on this mission, and I want you to be strong and keep watch of the others, they are not allowed to do something stupid. You are a big boy, aren´t you- so you have to watch out for the others, okay?" He reacted to this just like I thought he would. He stood a little taller and puffed his chest out. A few seconds ago, he looked like he would cry, but now he seemed like a little version of a proud leader. I couldn´t be more proud of this little one. "Yes, of course Percy. I am a big boy after all." He said. I nodded at him, and the next moment, the others came walking into my tent and sat down.

"Okay, now that you all are here, I would like to inform you what that al is about. It has come to the attention of the gods that some very powerful beings are travelling all over America, leaving a path of death and destruction behind. Normally the Hunters would take care of this, but we fear that they are not enough. The warriors are being sent to aid them. I expect all of you at your best behavior. I know that you don´t like this one bit, but neither do they. Am I understood?" I finished sternly.

I saw that most weren´t what you could call happy with this, but they nodded all none the less. "Good. Sadly, and this is the worst part for me, am I not allowed to accompany you. I am very sorry for that, but I can´t change it. It is only for your safety. And now, tell the others and then go to sleep. We leave tomorrow morning one hour before sunrise for New York." I finished this. They did like this less and less, but it was set and I couldn´t change that. I hushed them out of my tent, telling them to rest.

That night I laid in my bed, thinking if I would see them all again, or if we would miss some of us after this mission. I surely hoped not, I wouldn´t want to deal with another death. I saw way too many in may long, immortal life. Sometimes, my old friends were cruel. I lost much in my life, but I also won things. Maybe, for once could something end the good way, couldn´t it? It could happen that all of my boys came back, healthy and alive, at least I hoped so. With all these thoughts running through my mind I drifted into a short, but peaceful sleep.

That´s it for this chapter. See you hopefully soon.

Until next time
