I sat on the sand, my head in my hands. This was my fault, all my fault. Percy would die, if he couldn't find me. I wiped my eyes, sniffling, then fished around in my pocket, finding a few drachmas. I was going to iris message three people. My birth mum, Percy and camp half blood. I created a rainbow, easily, and threw the first drachma in.
"Oh Iris, goddess of the Rainbow, please accept my offering." I said 'Sally Jackson' and the address. Slowly she appeared. "Mum?" I asked softy, she jumped then turned to me.
"Peri! Where are you? How's Percy?"
"I'm on an island. On a quest. Percy's on one. But we're fine, Percy's just left me. But we're fine mum." I sniffled and wiped my eyes. She frowned, sipping a blue drink. Why did mum and Percy always eat and drink blue stuff?
"What's wrong, dear?" She asked worriedly.
"I knew this was gonna happen. I couldn't stop it." I cried, then ended up explaining everything about the quest. Even about snogging 'Luke'.
"You what with your grandfather, in your exboyfriends body?" That's what she didn't understand? That we snogged? Gods.
"Snog, mum, it's English for kiss." I shrugged. She sighed but nodded.
"Can't you shadow travel?" She asked softly. I nodded. "Then use that to get on Percy's or Luke's boat! Or to find Grover!" Why didn't I think of that? I cracked a smile.
"Thanks mum, I miss you." I said softy.
"I miss you too, make sure your brother doesn't do anything stupid." I nodded, laughing.
"Tell Annabeth that, mum." The message faded after that. Then I did the ritual again, for Percy. I saw Percy, he was crying and Annabeth had a arm around his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry, Percy." Annabeth said quietly. I smiled, sniffling.
"Oi, idiots." I said, Percy shot up and looked at me.
"Peri! Oh, gods, I'm so so sorry. Are you o-" I cut him off.
"Mum sends her love, asks if your okay. And said I should take care of you, heard that Annabeth. Take care of the idiot. Now, I can shadow travel to you. Where are you?" I questioned. Percy frowned.
"I'm not an idiot!" He cried in protest.
"Are so, baby bro. Now I'm gonna iris message camp. I'll find you, I'll either be with you or at camp. I swear," I said softly. Percy nodded.
"Okay. But if your not?" He asked, sniffling.
"Camp or you. O-or, if Luke finds me, with him. But know, I won't go intentionally. Only by force." He nodded.
"Okay, I love you." He said, wiping his eyes.
"I love you too, be safe. Don't die." I warned, before the message dissolved. Then, with my final drachma, I repeated the message for the big house. Chiron and Mr D appeared.
"Persephone." Chiron nodded. I smiled.
"Chiron, Mr D." Mr D nodded, sipping his diet coke. "So, you've probably heard about what Luke is doing?" I asked. They nodded. "Brilliant. Well update, Annabeth and Percy are okay. They've just left this island, I'm stuck here. Wait! You're not mad I left?" I asked confused.
"Rather but it was a quest." Mr D said, his voice the kindest I've ever heard it.
"Right, so, Tyson is missing. Percy and Annabeth think he's dead. But I would be able to feel it, he's not." I assured them. "Oh and I snogged Kronos, in Luke's body. Don't ask, but Kronos is taking over Luke. It's only for a while, but it's happening." I said, they nodded and sighed.
"I'm going to Olympus." Mr D mused. Chiron nodded.
"Persephone, be safe, and make the right chose." He said, before I could reply. He made the message go. I rolled my eyes, then looked around. Time to leave, I thought as I saw pirates. I thought about Percy.
"dad, please, I need to find Percy. Just let me shadow travel to him." I mumbled, then shadow traveled. It was a blur, I was sure I was walking on water at one point, but I landed on a boat. But I didn't know who's. Please don't be Luke's, I prayed to the gods. I squeaked loudly, feeling a hand touch my shoulder, then turned, that's when I saw a super hot guy. He was tanned and had the typical California guy look, that most girls hoped Americans looked like.
"You okay?" He chuckled, I rolled my eyes quickly.
"Who are you?" I asked, he grinned at me.
"Apollo. I'm your cousin."
"Never." I mumbled sarcastically. He smiled and sat me in his car.
"So, your hades daughter? I preferred Thalia, Zeus' daughter." I growled lowly.
"Who is Thalia!?" I snarled. Apollo chuckled.
"In time, kido." He ruffled my hair. I glared at him, fixing my hair. "So, Persephone, your future seems good." He mused. Right, god of prophecy.
"Whatever, why am I here? I need Percy." I whined.
"Half brother and cousin right?" He raised an eyebrow.
"What next? You're gonna complained that I snogged and dated Hermes' son?" I raised an eyebrow back, Apollo chuckled.
"You're alright kid. You old enough to drive?" He questioned.
"I should be fifteen. But I'm fourteen. It's complicated." I replied, causing him to smirk.
"Get in the car. Here's an ID." We swapped seats and I jumped as the engine roared, slipping the ID in my pocket.
"Bloody Americans." I mumbled, if in England I couldn't drive until I'm at least 17. Apollo chuckled.
"Tell me about it." I rolled my eyes.
"you sound American, mate, you look American, you've been here for the past few century's. I'm calling you an American, Apollo." I replied.
"Geez, I remember you English being nicer." He chuckled and ruffled my hair, as I began to fly/drive.
"I've been annoyed by to many Americas, while at school, not to mention sorta in the job description of a child of hades to be not as nice." I grinned, he laughed but nodded.
"Point taken." He turned on the radio, and I drummed my fingers against the wheel. I sighed softly and turned off the radio, hearing an old song. Somehow, after a twenty minute drive, we was at camp.
Declaimer- I only own Persephone.
So, what will happen at camp? I'm thinking of making the next chapter an overview of the next few days. Then go to Titan's curse but keep it as the same book. And then, peri doesn't go on the quest but stays with Nico and stuff. But that's an idea. Give me a few of your own if you like. Or an opinion.
