I was seeing the battle through a TV that Hari set up with me. I really was having my heart in my mouth all the time. My son was facing dangers far worse than I ever thought. I knew he would face challenges, being a demigod. But to face so much... I was really angry with the Moirai. Why couldn't they give him peace?!
Coming back to the situation, we were kept under protection in the Big House. Me, Paul, Estelle, Amanda and Nelson were kept in safety. Amanda required more protection, since she was not alone.
"Sally! How did the war go today? Did Justin survive?", She asked in concern. Justin had injury on the first day which was half healed.
"Yes. He survived. Until Percy is around, he will not die so easily. My son will die before Justin does.", I said. I was proud that Percy is such a selfless chap, but being a mother, I would want him to survive. Call me selfish, but that is every mother's wish; to see her son or daughter survive.
"Good. I really want to tell him the good news.", she said. I agreed. This news was a big news. We wanted the war to end quickly. We were praying to Poseidon so that he could protect our children.
"Sally. Need anything?", Thalia asked. She was tasked with protecting us along with a small group of Hunters.
"No. I am fine. Where are the others?", I asked.
"They have gone to the battle. I am the only one who is remaining.", she said.
"Take us there.", I said. She snapped her head back in disbelief.
"What?", she asked in disbelief.
"Take me to the war. I want to see Percy.", I said more clearly and slowly.
"No. Sorry. Not possible. You all are safe here. If you go there, they would have another problem to solve. If Percy or Justin see you there, they would freak out. Please.", Thalia pleaded and I relented.
"MOM!!", I heard Percy scream!!! It was my Percy. I know this voice anywhere and everywhere.
"THALIA!! I bet it was Percy!! See what is the matter.", I said. She nodded reluctantly and went out of the enchantment. After a few minutes of eerie silence, Percy dashed into the room, his hands injured and bloody.
"Percy! Where is your Riptide?" I asked.
"Dropped in the battlefield. Hasn't returned to my pocket yet.", he said quickly. I nodded.
"Quick. Mom, Paul. Take Estelle While I escort Amanda, Nelson and you to safety of the camp.", he said.
"But Hari said that no one would know about this enchantment and we would be safe.", I asked.
"Some traitor revealed the place to the enemy. Hari felt something wrong and sent me to check. And I was ambushed by the enemies. All my fault. Had they not followed me, then they wouldn't have known the place.", Percy said.
"Don't be sorry Percy!! You did not do it intentionally!", I said.
"Actually. I did.", was the last words that I heard before I lost consciousness.
When I regained my consciousness, I laid on a damp cold floor. I woke up and got a migraine. My head was throbbing and I haven't felt something like this ever. When my eyes refocused, I saw Paul and Nelson sprawled onto the floor. Estelle and Amanda were missing.!!
"Paul! Paul!!!! Wake up!!! WAKE UP!!", I shook him violently as he woke up with a jerk.
"Where?! What!", he gasped for air before regaining his senses. He looked at me before hugging me. I felt calmer.
"Thank God you are here. What happened?", he asked as he looked around the damp cell. It had nothing except for bars.
"Estelle?", he asked in fear and concern.
