Vesta's Child (Discontinued)

Chapter 7

-PERCY AGE FOURTEEN-

"Why are we going to the school?" Percy asked and Artemis gave him an apologetic look,

"Zeus ordered us to capture two children of Hades." Percy scowled, it was no secret that Percy detested the king of the gods. Zeus didn't even know that Percy was alive or that he was currently staying with the hunt. Percy strongly disagreed at the thought of bringing his siblings to Zeus for he knew they would die because the god was a paranoid jerk that thought killing children was fun.

"We can't send them there! He'll kill them just for being a child of the big three, just in case they try to take his throne." He spat and fiddled with the guitar necklace. The necklace could transform into a beautiful golden guitar that could shatter an enemies ear drums easily, or could calm people and make them joyful. Apollo had given him the weapon for his fourteenth birthday and it was probably one of the best presents he's gotten.

"Percy, I know but it's an order." He glared at the ground angrily until someone cleared their throat, the two turned around to see Pluto standing there. Percy smiled widely,

"Hey dad." The god of death smiled at his son and gestured for him to follow. He walked out of the moon goddess's hearing range and looked at Percy seriously,

"You can't let your siblings be captured by Zeus, once you get a hold of them send them to me." Percy was excited at the thought of being able to save his siblings from the stupid god of lightning's wrath, but he then paled.

"Artemis will kill me! And then Zeus will find out about me...fine. I'll do whatever it takes to save them, their family." Pluto smiled at his son but began to worry about Zeus, what if he tries to kill Percy as well? He thought nervously but stopped once he saw Percy's knowing smile,

"Don't worry dad, I got an idea." He smiled and knew to never doubt his son.

-LINE BREAK-

Percy pulled up his hood and crouched in the bushes beside Zoe. Alpha stood at the ready as well as the other hunting wolves. Artemis could sense the monster and warned her hunters,

"Be ready to fight, there's a powerful monster here." Zoe saw Percy's eyes gleam with anticipation of the upcoming battle. But she didn't realize that it was anticipation to save his siblings. He unsheathed his hunting knives and turned to the wolf pack,

"You guys wait until I give the signal to attack. It is better if the enemy underestimates our numbers. Alpha and Zoe, you guys are with me." Zoe nodded while Alpha spoke up,

"Yes! We're gonna kill that stupid monster!" Percy's team was the group that Artemis sent out first to try and destroy the monster. They stepped out of the bushes cautiously, Zoe with her bow and Percy with his knives. Alpha had his teeth bared and his hackles raised as he walked along side his master. They heard a scream and saw a manticore holding a blonde haired girl by it's tail, two demigods tried to fight it but the monster was to strong, two other demigods, which he realized were his siblings, watched the whole thing in shock. Percy realized that he knew this monster and Zoe aimed her bow to fire,

"STOP!" He screamed at the top of his lungs and everyone froze to look at him. He took this moment of distraction to unnoticeably shadow travel his siblings to the underworld. He then stepped forward and grinned at the manticore,

"Thorn! Man I haven't seen you in a while!" Thorn looked at him in confusion before realization struck him,

"Percy? Is that really you? My have you grown! How are things?" Everyone starred at him in shock as he and Thorn met in the middle and began conversing,

"Pretty good, never thought I'd see you here though. School is a horrible place to pick up fast food, I mean have you seen what they serve for lunch?" Thorn chuckled at Percy's joke and Alpha's jaw dropped,
