What if... Kronos won the war?

Liana's Pov

"I need you to make sure that all of Charlie's ties to Camp Half-Blood are cut, I've already seen her talking with Connor." Luke said, looking at Vicky. We all knew that we couldn't trust Charlie, she just didn't seem the type to betray camp. After Luke dismissed us, I followed Vicky to Charlie's room.

"Hey Charlie?" Vicky asked, walking in. Charlie looked up from the bed, and at us. "Are you okay?" I asked, walking forward. "What do you think Sherlock? I was taken from the only people who care about me, again." She said, losing her voice at the end. "I care about you..." Vicky said quietly, looking down. "If you cared about me, you wouldn't have taken me back here." Charlie said, looking back at Vicky.

"You're right." I said, "About the gods, sure they haven't been there but honestly, I don't want to fight in Luke's war." I finished, looking between Charlie and Vicky. I don't know why I said it if I'm being honest, but it was true. So many people have already died because of Luke. Sure, I never met my mom but I had my sisters and Malcolm.

"Well it doesn't matter now. It's not like we can convince Luke to magically get rid of Kronos." Charlie said, looking at me. "But maybe we can go back to camp, sure they won't trust me or Vicky-" I started, before I was rudely interrupted. "Who said I don't like Kronos?" Vicky asked, looking at me, "Vicky shut up, no one likes him." Charlie said, looking back at me.

"Right, but what if we went back to camp, and just left here. I'm sure we could convince Ella to come too." I said, looking between them. "I don't exactly trust Ella. She did stab me, just saying." Charlie said, looking between me and Vic. "Does that matter now? We can leave here, we can go home." I said, looking back at Charlie. I knew she wanted to go home, and so did I. Going back to camp made me realize that not everything the gods did was terrible. They gave me, my family.

"Fuck it. Let's go, Vicky and I will pack our stuff, Lia, find Ella and get your guys' stuff and meet at the stern of the ship in five, we need to go quick. And before you ask, the stern is the back end, lower deck." Charlie said, shoving me out of the room. I started to look for Ella, everywhere. While I waited outside of her door, I saw Vicky give me the signal that all of our stuff was packed, we just needed Ella.

"What's up Lia?" Ella asked, opening the door. I shoved my way in and shut the door. "You need to pack your clothes. We are going back to camp, right now." I said, grabbing a duffle bag from her closet. "Why? Kronos' orders?" Ella asked, packing her clothes slowly. "No, we need to leave. I'm tired of him." I whispered, grabbing Ella's clothes and shoving them in the bag. "Thank god I'm not the only one. Where are we going?" Ella asked, opening her door and checking the hallway. "The stern, but we have to hurry." I said, running.

"It's about time. What the hell took you two so long?" Charlie asked, grabbing mine and Ella's hands. Soon enough Vicky grabbed our hands and we heard yelling. "Now where do you think you're going?" Kronos asked, looking at us. "Hmmmm let me ponder this question you have asked even though it is so obvious that we are leaving." Charlie said, raising an eyebrow.

Before Kronos got to respond, or slow time, Charlie and Vicky got us out of there. "Holy shit, I forgot how tiring that was." Vicky said, sitting down. I looked around and realized that we were in the infirmary. "Will? Nikola? Maddy? Someone? I require assistance..." Charlie said, looking out into the hallway. "Charlie what are you doing? And why are we in the infirmary?" Ella asked, grabbing Charlie's arm.

"I don't know, maybe getting help with my stab wound that you so graciously gave me?" Charlie said, walking out of the room. Vicky and I started laughing and followed Charlie out, Ella behind us. "I deserve that honestly." Ella said, looking forward. "You're telling me. Percy is going to kill you, that is if he gets to you before the rest of us, which he probably will." Vicky said, smacking Ellas arm and running ahead to Charlie.
