You can't- You can't just give up!" Luke said to the monster- I thought it might be some kind of giant- that had lifted dream-me. “I don’t need your help to save him.”, Faster than I would have thought a person could, she snatched a bronze knife out of her bag and blocked my shot. The girl and half the monsters lunged for me, and I sighed with relief as the smoldering, toxic air of the room was replaced with cold, clean darkness. "Yeah, right. I'm not like the gods. "What are you trying to prove? People got hurt, and you nearly killed yourself!”. I stared at Luke in shock for a moment, searching for any trace of a lie. I have to get her back." They were after his scent. “Bianca, you were passed out for eight days. ", "We got some nectar into your system while you were asleep, and you seem to be doing much better," another girl said. The Goddess of the Hunt took a deep breathe, and I could tell she was trying to keep calm. We already have the boy, but he’s not.. cooperating. A female voice, from behind the door I had my ear pressed against. Chiron did, too. "Just listen, Thalia. I was glad Thalia didn't ask why. If she went to him straight from the Labyrinth, if he's had her ever since- who knows what kind of thoughts he's been able to put in her head. We followed the girl's directions up the mountain, toward the center of the dark clouds. After so much had happened in such a short amount of time, no one was in the mood to talk. The giant's hand raised with a green glow in it ready to hit Annabeth. I know you care about the people there. "Percy's-" I got shakily to my feet. "There will plenty of time to talk about the details after we have her in custody.” Luke said. "I don't care about a war. Zoë began to shoot at the General, and Grover played something on a set of... well, I wasn't exactly sure- one of those pipe things Peter Pan used. Luke Castellan sent you to find me.” I tightened my grip on my weapon. Thalia paused for a long moment, before continuing, "You've been a loyal Hunter since before I was born, Phoebe." The day I ended up facing five monsters at once, a big thing that I thought was some kind of reverse-sphinx bit me in the side. I was looking at the Hunter with skepticism at this point, but still allowed her to lead me farther back, to the largest tent of them all. Something like I'd never experienced before, a feeling that wore on me throughout my body and mind. I asked incredulously. "Soon there will be more. She hadn’t been claimed yet.”, Luke nodded. she said. "We'll surveil the ship to get a more exact layout and location before we make any moves.". As I walked, I thought of why the shadows had taken me down here. All of our other dates had been interrupted by campers *cough*The Stolls*cough* or by monsters. "There's no way. I tuned out everything except my own crying. “She and her brother are the children of Hades. "Whatever it is, I'm not interested." “I mean one minute I’m talking to the camp leaders. He looked into my eyes. She seemed to have showered, and her curled blonde hair hung loosely around her face. Her eyes glinted. The daughter of Athena was left behind. Medusa's body does not dissolve as the heroes take the pearl and head. "We're doing this for people like her, people like me and you and every half-blood on this ship who's been discarded, and forgotten, and hurt by Olympus. Help me. And he is the acclaimed writer of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books and their sequel Heroes of Olympus series. I didn’t care that much. We don't know for sure he's dead, I told myself. I'm going to get you out of here, I swear. I heard about what you did at Camp Half-Blood. I heard Zoë's voice as I sat up. You've been sitting here for almost an hour. I want to do something,". After a few minutes of staring, I walked out of the ruins and down onto the curb. Thalia asked. I hesitated for a minute, but groaned and started walking in her direction. I crossed my arms too, and looked away. 'One shall be lost in the land without rain'. I was still sitting in the same place I'd been when I talked to Zoë, except now the only people here, as far as I could see, were Thalia and I. Our hands were entwined together and I was leaning into him. No! Imagine that, but with searing heat. I found you passed out on the floor looking like you were dying,” she said, “I would have been fine,” I said, standing up and brushing myself off. Her hair fell around her shoulders, and flashed back to it’s normal blond color. They have succeeded in holding off our forces. "Tell me.". Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. My dream self remembered, too- I got flashes, indirect memories of exhaustion and fear and blinding whiteness, all accompanied by a friendly-toned and almost chastising voice. I braced myself for the worst, and blurted out the first thing that came to mind: "I'm so sorry Thalia, I was wrong and I know you have no reason to b-", "Oh, thank the gods," Thalia said over my rushed apology, coming out from behind the table and meeting me in the doorway with a few long strides. I saw a faded road sign reading 'Five Miles To Los Angeles'. I opened it and saw an address scrawled in spiky cursive. They were probably keeping him close. Thalia looked away, and covered her face with her hand. My muscles screamed in protest, but a spun around and tackled the source of the voice. AU:"Make me fall for you one more time, Perseus Jackson. 1 Betrayed POV: Percy Jackson (Post Second Giant War) We had finally defeated Gaea and the Giants five years ago. I think he ended up recruiting her, though. "Who attacked you?". By the time we reached the top, the sun was setting. She pulled out a hunting horn. "We'll be more powerful than the gods. "I'm here to see my brother." I cursed as I woke up and quickly realized I was not on the forest floor. Is she… is she here?” I mentally kicked myself for stuttering. People will figure it out sooner or later.". I thought about my dream. You don't mean anything more to them than the others.". "You know how to end all this. She got up to leave, and I could feel myself starting to wake up. The girl who'd rescued me from Westover with Percy, Thalia, and Grover, the one who'd been captured by the titans.... what was her name... Oh, whatever. Promise to keep it a secret. "I broke my oath, didn't I? "Are you sure you don't want us to stay?" Did he catch her? I sat with Zoë in the front, and Thalia sat in the back with Grover, who still hadn't stopped crying. And you're Luke." I entwined Percy's and my hands together for support. Zoë stared at the ground, a somber look on her face. Nice one, I thought loudly, as the connection started to break. I guessed I’d been knocked out for a while. I took about five steps back, on instinct. It is my time. Was the ground-. If you didn't go back to camp then where would you go? Time Travel/Redo. Percy and I were on our first proper date since we had become a couple ten months ago. As if my brother didn't matter. Could you give us a moment alone?". ", He wiped away my tears. Finally, Thalia hit her fist against the table and untensed. Then it started to fade, and along with it went the stinging pain of my skin and the aching soreness of my body. ", "What about you? ", "Thalia?" I watched the light the fire cast on the wall around me. She clapped her hands together. "If you need some place to go, it's not far from here. Didn't he see how upset Luke looked? "They gave up looking for you. "Fight with us. Zoë knelt beside Lady Artemis, tears streaming down her cheeks, and tugged aimlessly at the chains. We get them, and we go, and we don't let anyone know about it.". The plants won't hold them off forever." I grabbed her arm to try and pull her up, but she yanked away. It took a second before her expression went slack with realization, and turned into an evolved form of the expression I'd seen on her face when I last told her about my dream. “Yeah. I heard most of the gods don't even talk to their kids, much less give them cool Stygian iron weapons. She flipped-”, “Wait, what?” Thalia interrupted. "This is a vital mission, Pheebs. Thalia put her hand on Phoebe's shoulder. Thalia looked into Annabeth's eyes. We don't know what it is, but it's like they've got a new secret weapon up their sleeve. "It's worth the risk.". “Thalia told you where I was. Her smile gave him courage to keep walking. A large man in a brown silken suit had spoken. ", She sighed. The campers began talking about search parties and tracking. But he died." The first thing that hit me was the seasickness. I know Camp Half Blood thinks you’re dead, I know you betrayed them to join the titans, and I know-” I leveled my arrow at her chest- “I know you know where my brother is.”, The girl stared at me for a moment, then smiled again. I collapsed back onto the pillow and tried to make out the details of my dream. Zoë said, confirming my thoughts. Thalia said. Percy's Stats. "Tell me about it," I said, tracing the letters of Thalia's spiky black handwriting. And by some miracle, we reached the west coast on the morning of the day before the solstice. You've been ruled dead. I could tell she still didn't think I was doing the right thing, but she climbed back in the chariot. The rest of my belongings were still at Thalia's. I tried to think back to that night- it seemed so long ago, a lifetime ago. I could get comfortable down here. It was summer, so the scenery was more like it had been in Luke's plate than the last time I was there in person. Her black hair was cut choppy and short, and she had a silver circlet braided into it. "How..", "Artemis." Percy is named after the famous Greek hero Perseus by his mother for good luck because his namesake was one of the only heroes who had a happy ending and died a peaceful death. "Bianca!" Thalia screamed and stabbed her spear into a stray … She glanced at the chariot, then back at me. I felt my cheeks go pale. "You want to take up another quest? (Old or New) Close. I embraced Luke, sobbing into his shoulder. When I woke up, everything was still black. "Look who's here!" Bianca?" “You have a good memory. "And I'm sorry about your house. No one really needs me. I'd spent enough time resting lately, against my will. "We... we aren't going to have to, you know.. fight them, are we?" Last Updated: 2021-02-04. I wracked my brain for something to say. I stormed up to the door and flung it open. Wasn't it obvious? ", "I'm not sure. Why? Then another one. My dream-self, however, seemed to have more mixed feelings. "Percy's dead. ", Thalia tensed at the mention of Luke's name. You’re disoriented, you need to calm down!”, I struggled against her grip, but relaxed as I registered her words. I watched Thalia watch them go, and realized just how much she was putting on the line for me here. It'd be easy to think she was lying. "You might be just another causality to them, but you mean something to me. Luke pointed to something I hadn't noticed before- a pool of water about the right size for a small horse. "Bianca. But eventually you're powers will start to surface. Tortured in . "You can take your titan army, and your mountain, and your cruise ship, and shove it all up your ass," said my eleven-year-old brother, and if I were really there I'd be too happy to even get on to him for swearing. But you need to accept the fact that they don't feel the same way. "We should. Either way, it made me painfully nostalgic for those short days before the Quest, when Zoë was alive and my brother was safe and my life as a half blood wasn't that scary at all. "There she is," the voice of Kronos said, as my view was nearly faded. I woke up somewhere else. You’ve been through so much so recently, if you want to just rest-”, "No. I wanted to think that had been nothing but a normal dream, but this dream had seemed even more real then the last one.
