After reaching Emma and Will in the cellars, Jason and the others dressed like guards, pretended that they were taking them to an execution. They took a few short cuts that exited the castle and started running towards the woods taking off the blue guard jacket, helmet, and gloves. His sister led them to where they set up camp, as they explained how they found out about her father.
When they arrived at the campsite, there was a large man in sight dressed in black holding a large iron dagger, kneeling in front of the tent that was made up with tree branches. The man slowly got up to his feet and turned around, it was Zeus. Oh sweet mother of god. This isn't going to end well.
"Well, well," he said in his thundering voice, "the two people I have been expecting the most." he motioned to Will and Emma.
"What are you going to do to us?" Emma asked fiercely
"For now, I just want to talk." he replied simply
"Talk about what?" Jason asked firmly
"Well, I know that you all know that the sword of Olympus wasn't actually stolen,
and that I sent you both on a wild goose chase, hoping to get you both eliminated." "But you don't know the full story, so here it is. There is a prophecy told by the most ancient prophet of all time called Maximinus. He has told me that someone from my bloodline will reach a point in their life where she will discover my plan to kill the other gods and the most powerful hybrids, and absorb their powers to become the most powerful being of all time. When they reach this point they will become powerful enough to overpower me and kill me, but not alone he or she needs help with the person she trusts the most and the love of her life, which would be you William. But Emma is the most powerful, so if she dies the threat to my plan is eliminated. And the best part is that no one will believe you If you tell anyone." Jason balled his hand into fists getting ready to fight at any moment. He saw the others get ready too.
"If it's someone from your blood line, couldn't it be one of your siblings or god children?" Emma asked.
"It could but since the day I have laid eyes on you my dear, I have sensed a powerful energy coming from you. And I knew it was you who was destined to kill me."
"Then why did you kill my mother?" Emma asked
"Because she found out about the prophecy and my plan, she called Alynafae, but by then I had already had her on my side. And knowing that your mother, she wouldn't back down until I was destroyed, so the only way was to kill her." he responded as if it was obvious.
"And to keep you in the dark." Zeus added
"But I have recently noticed that it is too risky to let you live, my love. And since William here has broken the promise he made saying that he wouldn't tell you anything. So that leaves me no choice but to do what I promised, which would be to kill you."
"NO!!" Will yelled but it was too late. He already threw the dagger to the center of Emma's stomach. Jason felt his heart stop beating for a few seconds before he advanced towards Zeus. When Jason reached him, he had already teleported out of there. When Jason turned around he saw Emma still standing, she pulled out the knife and fell back in Will's arms. He caught her and they were both on the ground with her lying and bleeding out on his lap. Jason stood there motionless not finding the strength to walk over to his dying sister. Their friends stood behind Will all too shocked to do anything either. Will started sobbing into Emma's neck, begging her to hold on. But she assured him everything would be okay.
"Hold on please! It will all be okay."
"It's okay. I'll be okay." she assured him
"I can't take your pain away."
"It doesn't hurt." she said with her last breaths. And she was dead. Will was sobbing in her chest. His best friend and love was gone because of him. Jason's sister was dead, only the family gone. Jason somehow found a strength deep inside him to walk over to Emma. he dropped down and laid his head on her knees. And started to sob.
Emma Darhk was dead
