Responses to my Awesome reviewers-

ReallyInfinity- Thank you! And I did get your PM.

Daethar4U-Pyrodas- Here ya go!

ETNerdy-girl- Thank you for bringing that up. I feel horrible for not being as in depth with all the characters, I'll try to fix it on this chapter.

I don't own the Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus series. {Though I wish I was as talented as Rick Riordan, I'm not xD}

Percy POV-

I stare at the spot where Zoë's Iris message was no more than two seconds ago. She's gone, and I don't know where she is. I don't know if she's dead right now or struggling to even breathe. I don't know. But I do know one thing, she was kidnapped because of me.

Annabeth stays silent as she watches me, probably curious as to why I'm acting like this. "Why did she flip out like that?" Annabeth suddenly asks, raising an eyebrow. "It's not like she hasn't seen two people kiss before." Of course she has to say that. She has no recollection of what she did wrong, but rather believes she is right.

"Wouldn't you like to know." I snap angrily. I'm at the end of the line with her, I've tried so many times to give her another chance at being acquaintances, but she has stomped and pushed away that chance far too many times. I officially hate her.

Without saying another word, I turn onto my heel and I storm to the Chaos cabin. Thankfully Annabeth does not follow, that's good choice for her health currently. I enter the cabin and I look for Silena and Beckendorf.

And there they are, cuddling on the couch, laughing and talking to one another. It just pangs at my already straining heart. I blink back the unfamiliar few tears as I clear my throat. The couple looks up and sees me. They have identical looks of concern and confusion.

"Meeting on Olympus now. Call the other Counselors." I order before walking out again. I hold certain power over the other Counselors due to the fact that I'm the prince. I hate being reminded that, hence my hatred towards the crown, but at moments like this, it's required of me to take lead.

I go to the Big House and I knock twice on the door. Chiron answers and his causal smile falls a little when he sees that I'm not very happy. Before he can say anything, I cut in.

"The Counselors and I will be going to Olympus for another crucial meeting. I only require you and two head counselors of your choice to come due to the limited time we have." I say emotionlessly. Silena and Beckendorf quickly make their way over as Chiron goes to retrieve the two teens of his choice.

Silena looks at me in concern and she gasps suddenly. She knows what's going on, or maybe just the gist of it. "Where?" She whispers. I press my mouth into a hard line and I stay silent.

Chiron comes back with Jason and... Oh joy, Annabeth. I barely cast a glance at the two blondes before creating a portal with the flick of my wrist. Silena and Beckendorf walk through first, then Chiron and Jason, he doesn't look me in the eye. Probably because he still feels horrible for what he did, or maybe because I may or may not be glowing a tad. Annabeth lingers back for a moment.

"Go." I whisper harshly and she steps through without me having to tell her twice. I walk through the portal and past everyone else as I stand at the center of the throne room.

Shooting a ball of bright white energy into the air, it disperses into a million stars before disappearing. The gods begin to file in slowly and the other Counselors with their respected groups arrive. Aerin and Camp Jupiter arrive last, looking bloody and devastated. Aerin and I exchange a glance, a silent communication going between us and she nods slowly. I wince ever so slightly and I look away.

"Olympians, it seems that Order has already begun his attack on Earth. Camp Jupiter has been nearly demolished and many were killed. My fellow Counselor, Zoë Nightshade, has been taken by Order himself." I say, keeping my tone cold. From the corner of my eye, I see Silena and Aphrodite exchange a glance. Artemis cries out in anguish at the mention of Zoë's disappearance, I look away from that side of the throne room in an attempt to not make eye contact with her. "This will require us to begin training immediately for this." I finish.

The entire room goes silent as everyone slowly takes in what was said. I set my jaw and I wait. But I don't have to wait long before an arrogant god opens his mouth.

"How do you know we can't take on this army already?" Ares asks. Is he serious?

"Ares," I start, clasping my hands together behind my back. "As a god of war you should know how to defeat an Aml-Law, right? Or rather do you know the weakness of a Veleno that will make sure you aren't doused in fiery poison before killing it?" I ask, raising an eyebrow and Ares visibly shrinks back a little. "I thought so." I finish and I face the other gods once more. "Are there any more questions?" I ask and when no one responds, I nod again. "Then this meeting is dismissed. Training begins at 6:00am tomorrow morning for everyone. Counselors, if you will accompany me in organizing everything." I walk out of the throne room without another word. The room breaks into quiet whispers behind me.

I wait for the Counselors to walk out of the throne room as I fidget slightly with the hem of my sleeve. I know what I have to do, I know no one is going to like it, but I know I have to do it.

Luke is the first to walk out. My hands steady as I hide all little signs of anxiety. He smiles a little in encouragement, but I don't return it. I look away from him and towards the entrance of the Throne room. The other Counselors follow behind Luke's lead, all of them casting a concerned glance at me.

"Each of you will return to your designated groups and train them as if they were members of the Chaotic Army. If any of them refuse or complain, they will answer to me. Understood?" I ask and they all nod slowly. "Good. Like I said before, training will begin tomorrow. Good day." I say before turning and creating a portal with the flick of my wrist.

I walk through the portal without another word or glance. I appear in my room in the Chaos cabin, it's like a miniature version of my room in Paradíso and a little more messy.

"I will save you Zoë." I whisper, though she can't hear me. "Just stay strong." I set my jaw as I walk to the window.

I close my eyes and I dissolve into water vapor, traveling up to the ceiling. This isn't something I like to do around other people because only I can do it and it makes me feel overpowering and cocky. It also takes a lot of concentration to do.

I appear on the roof of the Chaos cabin and with the flick of my wrist, I have the branches of the trees near me expand out and hide me from all views while being as discreet as possible.

The bright blue sky above me shows the peak of the sun, noon ending soon as the illuminate sun glitters. It's not as calming as the stars, but it'll do. I close my eyes once more, taking deep breaths and going into a peaceful and dream-like state.

The black edges of my mind bring me under once more. And thankfully, something good does happen.

I see Oblivion first, then I see the metallic tears freely falling down her face once she spots me, or at least my dream-like conscious. Her rutilant eyes glitter as she cries.

"I am so sorry I couldn't warn you sooner, Perseus." She whispers as she wipes at her face. I walk over to her and I hug her instinctively, trying to bring her some kind of comfort.

"I thank you for warning me at all." I say softly as she continues to cry softly into my shoulder. I begin to wonder when was the last time someone talked to her like this, like a caring friend

She sniffles and stands straight once more. I take a step back to give her some space in which she smiles gratefully at me for.

"I'm sure you wish to know where Zoë is being held captive." She continues, getting right to the point. I nod and she smiles sadly.

"She's here Perseus. She is held where I have be prisoner since Order returned from his confinement." She whispers and I am lost, too many places for that to be. Noticing my confusion, she continues. "You will find us at the center of Saturn." She whispers before the edges of my vision darken again.

"I will break you out of there!" I swear before everything goes dark.

My eyes snap open once I wake up. Nothing has changed, the sun still glimmers in the sky, I can hear the laughs of pure joy as campers run around like the children they are.

I get to my feet and I vapor travel to my room once more. Once I touch the ground, I grab a piece of paper and I write a small note.

I hope they understand. I really do, but I know they can't follow me. No one can follow because they could get hurt, and I can't have that happen either.

Placing the note on my bed, along with my crown to show that it is me who wrote it, I start to grab as many weapons as I can. I strap strong but yet flexible armor on before placing two Stygian Iron swords behind my back, the cold metal stinging slightly. I still have all those daggers I brought from Paradíso in my boots so I'm good there. I also know if I somehow run out of weapons, I can use my powers.

I look around one more time before creating another portal. On the other side of the doorway I see the barren landscape with craters of black ash and left over scraps of metal. Winds swirls around the land, picking up dry land and sand and creating mini tornados.

"I'm coming for you two." I whisper before stepping through the portal.

Third Person POV-

After the meeting, everyone made their way home. Once the campers returned, they all started to talk more about Percy and their concern for him, especially his old friends.

Jason, Piper, Will and Nico were all sitting by the extinguished campfire. Nico sits a little further away from them, sitting with Will as he lays his head on the blonde boy's shoulder.

"He likes Zoë." Piper blurts all of the sudden. Jason looks at her incredulously as does Nico and Will. She sighs in exasperation. "Isn't it obvious?!" She exclaims. "Did you not see the slight hesitation in his voice? He loves her." She proclaims.

"He did remind me of when Annabeth went missing around the time I was first brought to camp. Before he went on that quest, he was always anxious and a little hesitant around saying Annabeth's name." Nico adds and Will nods in agreement. Jason and Piper exchange a look and the son of Zeus knows Piper has something else to say.

Piper sighs before speaking up again. "I think Annabeth is regaining her feelings for Percy rather than staying loyal to James." She says.

"Well that asshole deserves to be deserted." Nico mutters and Will looks down at him in concern. Ever since Percy disappeared, Nico hasn't stop beating himself up over it. Only Will could calm him down when the son of Hades went into an emotional rage. Will gently kisses the top of Nico's head before looking over at Jason and Piper.

"I think Percy will be able to choose who he'll give his heart to." Will says and the two of them nod in agreement while Nico doesn't move.

Before anyone else can say anything, Annabeth and James appear. James sits down and pulls Annabeth down beside him with a little force. Nico and Will exchange a knowing glance, not even looking at Annabeth or James.

"What are you guys talking about?" Annabeth asks and when no one responds to her, she shrinks back a little.

"I have to go talk to my dad." Nico says, standing up and completely ignoring that Annabeth even spoke. "I promised him that I would visit today." Will stands and hugs Nico before the son of Hades turns to leave.

"Leaving so soon?" James asks sarcastically. "You like to spend more time with the dead than your own boyfriend." He snorts at his own joke, but Nico stops dead in his tracks.

"What did you say to me?" Nico asks in a deathly calm tone, his back still to them. Will looks at Nico in concern as do Piper and Jason. Annabeth looks down at her feet, not saying a thing.

"I said you spend more time with ghosts rather than living people. Seems a little creepy don't you think? Then again, you are the son of the creepiest god on Olympus. I almost feel bad for Will, then again, he is just entertaining you with a pity party." James continues, not even noticing that the air around the group has dropped at least 5 degrees.

Nico turns around again and everyone except James cringes a little at the sight of his eyes. They were darker than normal and radiating death and hatred. Will stands to go and comfort his boyfriend despite what James said, but stops when he sees what Nico begins to do.

He shadow travels to right in front of him and swings a harsh punch right to the nose. Blood flows rapidly down James's face.

"Why you little-" James grunts before throwing his elbow right between Nico's eyes. Nico simply moves his head to the left to avoid getting hit, a bored expression on his face. Nico then grabs James's wrist, twists it into an odd angle and judo-flips him onto the ground, breaking James's wrist in the process. James cries out in pain and alarm as he crashes to the ground.

"Insult those I love one more time and not even Apollo himself will be able to heal you." Nico growls and in response, James spits some of his blood right in Nico's face.

"You have no power over me you damn ghost. You-" Before he can say another word, a ray of sunlight blinds him and a swift kick to the head knocks him out. Will barely pays anymore attention to James before facing his angry boyfriend. Nico stays silent as he looks down at the unconscious boy.

"Don't listen to him, he has no idea what he's spouting." Jason says, but Nico doesn't make any indication he heard him. Will places a hand on Nico's shoulder and the two exchange a glance. Nico then hugs Will tightly, burying his face in Will's shoulder.

"Get your boyfriend and leave." Piper snaps at Annabeth, who glares at Piper before crouching down to try waking up James.

"We just wanted to say hi." Annabeth mumbles angrily before helping up the slowly stirring James and leaving.

There's a silence in the air as Nico slowly regains his composure. He eventually pulls away from the hug and looks up at Will gratefully.

Nico kisses his cheek before saying quietly "I really have to go now. I'll be back tonight." He promises and Will nods. Nico waves goodbye to Piper and Jason before shadow-traveling away.

"Even when he knows Percy is alive and well, he is still agitated." Will sighs before sitting down. Piper pats his shoulder sympathetically.

"It isn't your fault, Will. It's James that's causing him to be like this. Since Nico was the first to lash out at James for what he did, James picks on him the most." Jason says and Will nods in agreement.

"I'm just concerned for him. I want him to be happy again." Will says quietly, putting his head in his hands in frustration.

"And you can do that by being you. He loves you for your personality and everything else. Even if it's only for a few minutes, make him forget about the bad times by making him laugh and smile. Only you can make him do that still." Piper says and Will nods before standing up quicker than ever.

"I have an idea. But I need to get started now before he gets back from being with Hades." He grins brightly before hurrying to his cabin. Jason looks at his now grinning girlfriend and chuckles.

"You know exactly what he has planned, don't you?" He asks and Piper nods, having one of her rare Aphrodite moments. Her kaleidoscope eyes glittering brightly as a grin splits her face.

"You'll see soon enough." She laughs and Jason opens his mouth before being cut off by a loud, shrieking voice.

"YOU IDIOT!" Someone screams. Piper and Jason exchange a look before trying to find the source of the screaming. They see campers making their way towards the chaos cabin, so they jump up and follow.

Jason pushes his way to the front with Piper following close behind. They see that the door to the cabin it wide open and inside is a little unnerving.

Beckendorf holds Silena's wrists as she attempts to start hitting things again. There's a note crumpled in her clenched fist as she tries to break out of Beckendorf's iron grip.

"That idiot! He went to find her! That idiot!" She shrieks as tears tumble down her beautiful face. Her eyes flicker from neon green to storm grey to charcoal black over and over before finally settling on a deep velvety purple. She finally stops putting up a fight and collapses in Beckendorf's arms, sobbing. Piper grabs Jason's arm and drags him inside the cabin before closing and locking the door.

"People were staring." Piper whispers and Beckendorf nods in understanding. Silena continues to cry into Beckendorf's chest as he holds him.

"What happened?" Jason asks quietly and Piper listens intently for the answer.

Silena sniffles as she opens up her clenched fist, the crumpled paper falling out of her hand. A gust of wind stops the paper from falling and Jason picks it up. He smooths it out and reads through the note. It's most certainly Percy's handwriting, but maybe a little more regal and neater than what Jason was used to seeing.

I had to go find her. But I can't tell you where I'm going, I can't risk anyone else being hurt. I will be back, I promise.

-Percy

"H-His crown was right by it." Silena says, giving a watery chuckle. "He hates that crown with a burning passion."

Jason and Piper both smile a little, knowing how he hates being overpowering. They look at Silena and their smiles fall once more.

"That idiot." She mumbles again. "He'll do anything to protect those he loves." The steady stream of tears start to slowly stop, but Silena doesn't move away from Beckendorf.

"I knew it!" Piper shrieks before turning bright red and clamping her hands over her mouth. Silena giggles a little at Piper.

"I was waiting for you to pick it up." She whispers. Beckendorf and Jason exchange a confused look before looking at their girlfriends. Piper sighs and shakes her head.

"What did Percy do when Annabeth was being dragged into Tartarus?" She asks Jason.

Not really getting it, Jason answers, "He fell with her."

Piper nods. "And that was pretty much suicide, right?" Jason nods again. "What is Percy doing now?" She asks.

"Going to save Zoë." He says and she sighs, this boy is going to be the death of her.

"He is going to Order's headquarters, which is equivalent to just shooting himself in the head." Silena makes a small whimpering sound and Piper looks at her apologetically before facing Jason again. "He does these things out of pure love Jason. He loves Zoë, though he may not realize the true extent of his feelings for her." She says and realization dawns on Jason's face. Beckendorf was slow to catch on, but not as slow as Jason.

"So do we go to help him?" Jason asks, a tinge of hope in his voice.

Silena and Beckendorf shake their heads profusely. "We learned a long time ago that one should never go put themselves in danger for Percy's sake, even if it was a slight risk. Luke once went after to help Percy when he was going on a secret mission to assassinate someone and Percy blew up afterwards. 'You could have been killed!' 'Do you know how much everyone would worry if you got kidnapped?!' 'I would have never forgiven myself if you got hurt!'" Silena starts mimicking Percy's voice, repeating what he shouted at Luke. Piper and Jason raise an eyebrow at this, but Beckendorf just nods as he remembers listening to the two fight right outside the castle as it was pouring rain. Percy didn't want to disrupt everyone as they slept, so he took it outside, little did he know that everyone was watching.

Silena finally quiets down from all her mimicking. "So that leaves us with one choice." She says.

"And that is?" Jason asks hopefully, like a little schoolboy.

"That we sit here and hope for the best."

Aaaaaaand done XD I am very tired at the moment so bye bye for now! Luv ya guys!
