The Darkness Is Coming

My Cousins Did WHAT?!

Nico POV
I shadow travelled to camp cautiously. The Apollo kids were on my back constantly, at the request of Will, who had gotten injured pretty badly in a fight last week.

No Sun Spawn in sight. Good.

I sauntered through the camp, ignoring the nervous looks I got from the campers. I went to the Athena cabin.

"Hey, is Annabeth here?"

"Nope, she went to Olympus a little while ago. Something about a trial for two demigod guys who killed two others. Piper McLean went too."

"Thanks." Uh oh. If Piper and Annabeth were at Olympus, where were Jason and Percy?

I checked both their cabins, finding no one in either, although it looked like they had both slept in Jason's.

Suddenly I felt two lives fading on Olympus. Wonder what's ha-OLYMPUS! Annabeth and Piper are up there!

I began to run. Out of Camp Halfblood, down the road. I had to get to Olympus.

You're a son of Hades, moron. Shadow travel.

Oh yeah. Duh.

I shadow travelled to the main plaza of Olympus. Zeus wouldn't care if I was trying to save lives would he? Apparently not, I wasn't blasted out of the sky.

As I ran towards the Olympian Throne Room, two familiar boys ran out the doors. They glanced at each other and nodded.

Jason leapt into the air and disappeared in a bolt of lightning.

Percy was engulfed in an explosion of sea water, and then was gone.

I frowned in confusion, still trying to piece together what was going on.

Okay, so Annabeth and Piper are here to witness a double trial of two demigods who killed people.

I feel life forces fading, obviously Piper's and Annabeth's, since I knew they were here and Jason and Percy just left.

And then there's exactly that. Jason and Percy just left. Why were they here? Supporting their girlfriends? Being extra witnesses?

A cold feeling seeped into my chest. I shook my head, hoping it was anything but that.

Weak coughing came from the still open Olympian doors. I felt the leaving life forces returning, so I went to go make sure.

Annabeth and Piper sat in the middle of the throne room, both coughing up mixtures of blood and spit. They were soaking wet, but winced when they moved. Electrocution?

The gods were all soaked, except Poseidon. The god of the sea looked like someone had just run over his pet for fun. I wondered why.

"You guys okay? What happened?" My voice carried impressively in the huge space.

"P-Percy and J-Jason....they got jealous! Th-they killed..." Piper wasn't able to finish her sentence. Crying uncontrollably, she pointed to two bodies next to Zeus' unoccupied throne.

"Names?" I asked quietly.

"Alex and Mason. Alex kissed Annabeth," Aphrodite pointed to the one corpse. "And was touching her. Percy stabbed him."

"And the other guy?"

"Mason. He was playing spin the bottle with the Aphrodite cabin. Jason must have seen Piper and Mason kiss, because the next thing everyone knew, he'd collapsed." The goddess of love shook her head sadly at the two corpses.

"Sir, wha-My Lord!" A nymph rushed in, looking concerned.

"Melanie, please inform both camps immediately that Jason Grace and Perseus Jackson are banished and have been sentenced to death for the murder of fellow demigods and attempted murder of their girlfriends and the whole Olympian council." Zeus spat.

Wait, what?

[A/N TREMBLE IN FEAR AT DARK PERCY AND JASON! Basically, only Nico and Thalia can stop them. Dun dun dun! This chapter is rather short, but I'm falling asleep while writing it and I wanted to get it out TONIGHT, so ya'll just gotta deal.]
