Olympus at Stake

Chapter 6 The day of Mental Pain

We all met up at this hall that seemed to be packed with giant people. They all seemed like they were royal. I didn't know what was happening.

"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! WE HAVE GUESTS!" someone yelled louder than your ears can take. They instantly stopped and looked at me. They were in shock.

"Well, well, well, little Jeffrey Woods. Who brought you here?" asked the guy who told them to shut up.

"I, um, was on a quest and I got taken away by him," I answered pointing at Poseidon.

"I see. Were you alone?" He asked.

"No Sir. My brother and my friends came with me," I said nervous as a dog when his master was home.

"I am Zeus, you may call me Uncle Zeus. Come here my little nephew," Zeus said excited to get a hold of me. I slowly walked closer and he picked me up with his giant hand.

"You seem upset. Am I correct?" he whispered.

"I'm confused. Poseidon said that I needed to have the amulet but I don't know why," I whispered back.

"That was my next question. We need it to save us all. Kronos will come and kill us all. He wants that amulet. It's the only way to save Olympus. Don't give it to your father or Kronos, understood?" he said.

"Yes, Uncle Zeus I won't let you down," I said starting to leave.

"Before you go. You need to let your friends out," Zeus said throwing me the keys. I caught It. It was gold with diamonds on it.

I walked to the dungeon and they saw me. Mathew looked worried when he looked at me. I opened the cell door and they all ran and gave me a hug.

"Dude what took you so long? What happened to your arm?" Michael said putting a plaster on it.

"I was pulled by Poseidon to the main area. Where all the gods go and have meetings and well I talked to Zeus. I didn't g-" I answered getting interrupted by Ingrid.

"So we are in Olympus already?" Ingrid said.

"Yeah I didn't believe it either," I said.

"You knew why didn't you tell us?" She said angrily.

"I didn't," I answered.

"Yes you did I can tell by the face you have!" she said trying to get me to tell the truth, which was already told to be fair.

"I SWEAR I DIDN'T KNOW!"I yelled back at her.

"I'm sorry. I'm just starving and tired," Ingrid said crying. I gave her a hug, which made her smile.

"It's okay. By the way we can go now if you like?" I said holding her hand and began to walk toward the exit. It was a long way out of Olympus. There was a lot of turns, like a labyrinth that goes on for ever and ever. Everything was white, even the furniture, walls and my clothes seemed like it too.

We finally left Olympus and my legs were exhausted. It was like three o'clock and we still didn't get any sleep. I knew we should sleep so I got my sleeping bag out. Mathew turned around and ran to me.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm going to sleep," I said yawning when I said sleep.

"Guys bedtime!" I yelled to the others.

"We're almost there. Why now?" Ingrid asked.

"It's three o'clock. I think now is a good time to sleep," I said giving her an evil look that she loved when I did it. We all got in our covers and started to sleep.

My dream was weird. I was in my room at my house and I looked in the mirror. I didn't see myself like I look now. I saw me looking like Hades. I had his hair, his eyes and the evil smirk he always has. I knew that if I had tried to move away it wouldn't work. I couldn't stop looking at my reflection. I was about to try and move when Ingrid woke me up yelling.

"Get up! We need to go now! They're after us! Your father's minions are here for you!"

"Okay I'm up lets go," I said packing my stuff into my bag as fast as I could. They were half way to us when we were done so we started to run. We ran for what seemed like an hour.

We were back at camp ready to tell our adventure. Samantha came to us.

"I can tell you are tired. Why don't you sit in my cabin and tell me your story," she said with an evil smile.

"Why would I do that?" I said giving the look back.

"Jeffrey I'm going to mom okay?" Michael said giving me a hug.

"Bye brother!" I said as he left.

"Jeffrey and his friends are back! We shall have a celebration for their return! The party will be tonight. Tomorrow we shall have capture the flag!" Drone said smiling at me. I ran to him and he slowly walked closer. I was about to talk when my father yelled at me.

"Get out of that stupid camp and come home with your father. You can stay there and be stubborn, or come home and be a real demigod," I collapsed to the ground and my brain was being annoyed by the voice of my father mocking me.
