Percy's POV

Void stood above a crowd of wizards, all of them unfamiliar, he seemed to be urging them to do something. I frowned deeply stepping into the crowd.

"We need to take a step towards a brighter future!" Void yelled while yells of agreement was heard in the crowd. "In a few weeks the only and final battle will be held at the 3rd camp."

This was so unlike them to do this. Why would he do only one battle? Relization hit me like a truck. He's strong enough to wipe out a whole generation in one battle. This was all planned and was planned for a very long time.

"I have a source wh-Oh look here we have an eavesdropper" He galnced menacingly at me.

I woke up im clear shock. Shit, what are we supposed to do now? I rushed out of the tent we set up last night, running around the clearing waking up everyone in the process by unzipping the tents yelling like crazy.

Everyone grumpily walked out of their tents grumbling under their breaths. I started to pace dragging my hands down my face and hitting my self on the side of my head. Why did i underestimate them? Now they're one step ahead of us and hace everything planned out.

"Gods seriously?" Zoë hissed. She looked pretty funny. Her hair was everywhere and sje had bags under her eyes. Bianca who bunked with her, crossed her arms over her chest and glared angrily at me.

Well...that's the look everyone's giving me. "We need to get going." I announced running into my tent grabbing a sweater quickly putting it one.

"Why?" Thalia grumbled. Huh. I guessed being with the hunters for a couple years she learnt how to wake up early without questioning it.

"Well a little birdie told me a war is coming soon and that we better get going" I replied casually adding "You know the usual things" at the end. The group of demigods looked at me in shock still not moving "Well get going"

I squatted down and placed two fingers on the ground. I pursed my lips and looked ahead of me. We have to be here. I have this feeling that i cant get over. "I find it ridiculous that were just wandering around without a plan" Someone hissed from the group. I recognised it as Theseus. He liked plans and liked to stick to his plans, i now know why Athena fell for him in the past. He was really smart.

"I have to agree with oldie here" D.J announced. I rolled my eyes.

"I do" i snapped.

"Really what is it?" Nico scoffed. I glared at him in annoyance.

"I have you know its a really good plan" I retorted.

"Oh im totally resurred by that statement"he muttered sarcastically. Before we can argue any further Hermione hushed us and looked at the small house at the bottom of the hill.

A woman calmly walked out the house getting in a red Honda driving away. "I dont get why we came here just to watch a lady drive away" Leo frowned. Honestly neither do i. But as i continued to search the area a soft sound of yells was heard. I leaned foward make out the words.

"Help me! Someone please"

Without thinking i slid down the hill, twigs and mud slapping me across the face in the process. I came to an end with an omph. I looked up the hill to see no one followed me. Mean.

The yells were louder down here. Taking out riptide since i like that sword more even though it ruined my life, the walls yellow like people smoked in here and never opened the windows or doors. Smells alot like that aswell.

I continued to walk down the halls opening the doors which weren't locked and peeking my head through them. The yelling stopped and all that was heard was soft sobbing. I know what your thinking, just follow the noise Percy, dont waste your time. But the sobbing was coming from every room.

"Hello" i whispered. The sobbing stopped. "Hello" i said louder.

"Hello" i jumped foward turning around. A girl no older than 11 stood right behind me. Her arms and were chained, a metal sticking through her arm. I tried not gag.

"Hey are you okay?" I asked softly her dark eyes followed my every move as i gestured to her arm.

"Oh this?"she laughed softly "I had them for all i can remember"

I stepped towards her. "Do you want me to take them off?"I asked as i reached foward.

She quickly pulled her arms away glaring at me. "No,no I don't mind them"

I nodded my head slowly and steed back putting my hands up in a matter which said you win. "Whats your name?"

I looked at her in shock "Percy?" i replied in a manner more like a question.

"Jackson? My mum mentioned you." She said loosely. I frowned at her. "she said that your like a cokaroach. Killing you will make everything better."

"Kay will im going now" This girl is creeping me out.

She pouted "But mommy's coming home any second now. He'll want to meet you. We can have play dates aswell"

I shook my head slowly "Nah I'll just go" i pointed to the door behind her. Just as i was about to step around her she blocked my path.

"I said no" She hissed.

I glared at her. "I really need to go"

The sound of a woman laughing made me break contact with her. Throwing my head back i groaned slightly cause ill recognize that voice anywhere. Why does mommyhave to be her. I put on a pleasantly fake smile i turned and face the woman "Oh! Dear Circe long time no see" i threw her a grin "How's that island of yours!" hopegully still being overun by pirates. I never want to he a hamster again.

She scowled at me and growled slightly "My poor island and apprentices were destroyed. Thanks to you and that blonde girl"

I scowled slightly at her "Thats unfortunate. For you that is"

"Your dead sea spawn" Before i knew it she was throwing purple flames my direction, which also burnt like hades.

I ran to the wall and done a backflip and ducked as the wall in front of me erupted into flames. I willed the water in the location to come to my aid, and gestured them at her. She let out a small yelp as the water pushed her againt the wall.

"Did Void send you?" I hissed while making the water boil. She let out a yell of pain. "Did he?!" She laughed. She actually laughed. I froze and the water turned into mist.

"Y-you think you s-scare me" she said between laughs.I didnt say anything just gripped riptide harder in my hands.

"You think you can beat the almighty Void?" She made a tsk tsk sound. "Thats where your wrong sweetie. Void is so powerful the Olympians closed up Olympus again. Hades closed the underworld. Poseidon his kingdom gates. that has never been done before, well the Olympus matter, yes it has but the Hades and Poseidon thing, not so much"

I smiled mockingly "That's because they're cowards" She looked at me in shock while the sound of thunder was heard outside, that's my cue. Lifting up riptide i threw it to her chest like a dart, she then quickly erupted into yellow dust. I glared at the wall Circe was just leaning on. I huffed and leaned against the wall oppisite of hers.

Gods how was i supposed to find information out now? Just as i was about to leave i remebered about the little freaky girl.

I slowly turned and ran my eyes through the hall. Where did she go. thats when i heard it, running. I froze. More running right behind me. I turned around again.

"Come out" I demanded.

And she did. Have you seen those exorcism movies and how they climb those walls. Yeah. Thats what i see right now. I lifted my eyebrow and walked backwards to the door. "Yeah bye"

I slammed the door close before she was able to go out. Im not going to kill her.
