The Fates of Good, The fates of Evil Chapter 9, a Percy Jackson and the Olympians + Kane Chronicles Crossover fanfic

Chapter 9

*Sadie's POV*

The next morning I woke up at around seven thirty. This was good me. Usually Carter had a hard time pushing me out of bed at nine. I was quite proud of myself. Finally, I had done something right. I was up bright eyed and bushy tailed before anyone- that's when I realised. Carter, Percy, Annabeth and Walt were all standing ready to go staring at me intently.

"You could have woken me up when Walt got up at least!" I complained as I started to stand up and pull my bow over my shoulder. Next to me, Walt was the heaviest sleeper.

Carter and Annabeth exchanged smiles.

"You snore." Annabeth said before turning abruptly and marching outside.

Walt, at least had some sympathy for me. He handed me my quiver and helped me pull on my jacket which I had used as a pillow.

"Thanks." I say as I double check I had everything.

We left the hut and I blinked in the bright sunlight. Annabeth was talking to Percy who had already been outside on guard. When they saw me though, they jumped up from the ground.

"Come on. Train leaves at 12 and we've got a long walk." Percy told us.

Oh come on. How did he know that? He had told me last night that he had lived in New York all his life but still. I couldn't see ADHD Percy memorising the bus schedule.

I shrugged. It didn't matter if Percy was right or wrong. The faster we got out of these eirry woods the better. Most of last night the wood had been filled with roars and even scarier human snarls. I knew who they hunted.

We walked at a brisk pace. Annabeth about twenty metres ahead scouting. Carter walking behind everyone else protecting our backs. The walk was long and tedious. When we finally reached the road I could have knelt down and kissed it. My blisters had blister. Plus I was starving.

We walked another few kilometres down the road until we reached the bus stop. Just in time. The bus pulled up smoothly in front of us. Unfortunately the stupid ratting driver wouldn't let us get on without money.

Annabeth was not impressed. Let's just say the man's nose will never look the same again. And they call me spontaneous.

So in the end we ended up walking down the road again. Eventually we were picked up by a Ute. There was only room for three in the Ute so Annabeth and I ended up sitting on the back tray. Yes. It was illegal but the driver was going to drop us off just outside New York. Besides the walking probably wouldn't been just as quick.

We were walking across the bridge back into New York when, yep you guessed it another thing went wrong.

"Is it just me or has that car been following us?" Percy mutters to me. I slowly twist my shoulder to one side and gulp. A dark blue hummer was gliding right up beside us.

"Urrh yes. And um bad news, it's stopping! "

All of us stop walking and draw our weapons. The backseat window wound slowly down revealing a teenage girl with long brown hair. She's wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans.

"Annabeth. Sadie. If you would like to take a seat?" She said.

I looked at Annabeth. She has a weird look on her face. She seems to be thinking really hard.

"You can trust me. I'll explain if you just get in the car. I will not discuss business with them." The girl in the car waved her hand at Percy, Walt and Carter.

Annabeth nods slowly. "Okay."

The door opens and I climb in after Annabeth.

I know hummers are spacious but I didn't think they were big enough to fit a full sized lounge room complete with weapon area and boxing ring.

I stare at the girl with brown hair. She has a kind of glow and I know exactly what this means.

"Okay. Just say it. Which divine being are you and why are you trying to kidnap us?" I ask.

Annabeth slaps my arm. "Sadie! This is Lady Artemis, goddess of the hunt and wilderness."

"If she's the god of the wilderness why is she driving around in a hummer?" I ask rubbing my arm.

Artemis smiles knowingly. "I must admit it feels strange but I needed to bring it to you. "

"Why, my lady? " Annabeth ask.

This isn't fair! Annabeth had been at Camp how long? She'd probably taken a 'how to deal with goddess class.' She was really making me look slack.

"As you know Annabeth, I vowed never to have kids. The other gods have been weakened. When all of their children became possessed by the fates they concentrate their power on saving their children's souls. Hestia and myself are e the only two goddesses who can help you. "

That makes sense. "So…" I prompt.

Artemis smiles but I know she's resisting the urge to strangle me. "So I'm giving you the car. You'll need transport to save us all." Artemis bowed her head as if listening to someone. "I must go. My father calls but are warned Annabeth. The possession spell affected my huntresses. I cannot save them but you can."

With a puff of slivery powder, Artemis disappeared.

Annabeth looked at me for a spilt second then yelled "I bags driving."

Chapter 10:

Annabeth's POV

The boys weren't very happy with me driving the hummer. Percy argued that it was 'the coolest thing he had ever seen." Whilst Carter whined "it's a classic." And Walt kept pointing out 'technically I'm the oldest."

Sadie didn't seem to mind. She just lounged in the back.

"We need fuel." I announced a few hours later. I pulled into the next service station. It was old and dingy but we were in the middle of nowhere again and this looked like our best bet even though it was called "Rusty's".

I made Percy stand and fill the tank and handed Sadie the fifty dollar note Artemis had left in the glove box.

"You go and pay."

I shouldn't have let her go on her own. I had a responsability to protect her but surely she could handle paying for the fuel. I was wrong. I knew I had made the wrong decision when I heard Sadie's voice gradually grows louder than a scream and an explosion. I jumped out of the car and ran into the station followed by the guys.

Smoke filled the tiny shop. I covered my mouth with my shirt and ran to the counter. I knew what the problem was immediately.

"Fire Sprite!" I shout.

The sprite was dragging Sadie into the kitchen. She wasn't moving and blood trickled from her forehead.

The sprite had red skin. His arms were long and bulged with muscles. As I yelled he looked up and saw us. Sadie was flung to the ground.

"Be careful! He breathes…"

He blew a strike of flames towards us and I doge to the side. "I'll distract. You guys go get her" I urgently whisper to the boys.

Drawing my dagger I ran and pole-vaulted over the counted. The spite was obviously shocked because he didn't char grill me to pieces.

Too bad he recovered from his shock. He swings his arms and mange to double hit me in the face. I grunt but slash out with my dagger.

He roars grabs my arms and pinned them to my side. Walt comes to my aid diving down low and stabbing the fire sprite with his sword in the knee. I fall as he grabs his knee.

I see Percy edging around the fight.

I need this to go on just a bit longer.

"Walt hops from one foot to another creating a harder target. I do the same.

"Hey Pepper breathe? Your food smells like cow poo! I'm going to complain to the bureau of service station hygiene.

This mad he real made. I ducked to one side avoiding roasted Annabeth. I come up kicking as hard as I can then jump back and tag team Walt and carter.

Percy picks Sadie up from behind the sprite.

"Walt! Carter. Let's go! "I shouldn't have said that. As we started running the sprite finally noticed Percy. He followed us out to the hummer. Percy had thrown Sadie in the back and was starting the engine. I throw the door open desperately and tumble in. Walt follows then Carter who ends up falling on me.

The sprite raises his arm to smash the car. Walt pulls the door shut just as Percy puts his foot on the accerlator and the fire sprite swings.

THUMP!

"Dang it!" The three boys all say at once as we swerve onto the main road. "This car was a classic"
