The Lost Sword of Olympus

Chapter 8: The Thief

"Yes, they believed me," she said, "they completely bought the bait about it being someone at their school. They are completely clueless, don't worry." Alynafae said. Emma's jaw dropped to the floor. She looked at Will with wide eyes and saw his expression mirroring hers.
What the bloody hell is going on! She thought frantically. They waited for Alynafae to turn the corner and disappear out of sight, so they could see who she was talking to.
They entered the room, stealthily, and grabbed her Firefly. Emma tried to open the magical phone but it was locked and needed a six-digit password combination to unlock it.
"It's locked." Emma mumbled.
"No kidding." Will said, as he snatched the Firefly from her hand. She watched over his shoulder, confused, as he hacked into it.
"Here we go." he said quietly when he finally unlocked the phone. Emma scrolled to her most recent call. The name of the contact was written as "My love" with a bunch of cheesy emojis.
"Call it. We will never know who it is without calling it." Will reasoned. Emma pressed the button and it rang 3 times before picking up.
"Hello? Alynafae? Did you butt dial me again?" said the voice on the Firefly. Emma and Will looked at each other not believing their ears. The voice was Zeus. She hung up the phone, and it fell from her hand. She started feeling a little light headed. And felt Will's hand under her elbow helping her sit down on a chair near the makeup stand.
"Put her head between your knees." He said, kneeling down in front of her. "It's him. It's my father. But why?" she asked, after she recovered herself. "I have no clue. But we will figure it out" he comforted her. They heard a
screeching cackle behind them. It was Alynafae.
"No you won't! Not if I have anything to say about it." she growled at them
"GUARDS!" she yelled, and 5 huge fairy guards came in, they were dressed like a nutcracker doll come to life, except instead of wearing red, they wore blue. "take them to the cellars."
The guards grabbed them to take to the cellars but they started kicking and fighting.
"Let go!" Emma screamed.
"Don't touch her! Will yelled. As they continued to fight. One of the guards pulled out a needle and injected it into Emma. And she fell into darkness.

When Emma woke up, she was in a filthy metal cage. Lying in the middle of the
cage. There were bones all around the cage.
"Finally, you're awake." Will said. He was sitting in a corner of the cage. "How long have you been awake for?" she asked.
"Never went under." he responded. She gets up and goes to sit next to him.
"Well, now that everyone is conscious," Alynafae said, "have a nice time enjoying the rest of your lives stuck in this cage." she turned around to leave when Emma asked
"Why? Why are you doing this?"
"Because I love him!" she shouted, "he has every reason to do what he is doing and I support him."
"What exactly is he doing?" Will asked harshly
"Now that's none of your business." Alynafae said in a mock sweet tone, and left. "Great!" Emma said sarcastically, "My psycho aunt is crazy in love with mysociopathic power hungry father, and we are stuck in a cage with no way of getting out and no idea what the bloody hell they are planning. Awesome this is just awesome!" Emma slumped down to the floor and put her head to her knees, trying to figure out what to do.
