Jeanne's POV
I woke up in the back of the pick-up truck, my head hurts I can't seem to remember what just happened. I looked around to find Percy, Jr, Joan, Nic, Elle and Khinei knocked out unconscious. Ugh why can't I seem to remember something important?
I try my best not to wake them up as I got out of the truck, a familiar voice surprised me, "Jeanne, you're finally awake."
I turned around instantly with a knife in hand, "James Koock? What are you doing here?"
"I don't know, it's like I've just gotten out of the Casino, I wake up there at the pick-up truck too, but ... It seems like I can't remember something. The last thing I remember is that i told you I'm Poseidon's son."
Oh, now I remeber that part but the others are pretty much all a blur.
"Then we're complete?"
We turned around to find Khinei, it seems like she's awake too.
I frowned and she translated,
"The Big Three children are complete. We can now go to the Underworld then to Atlantis then at Mt. Olympus, everything will be fine."
I smiled thinking then that everything will be fine~!
"If the Underworld is what you're saying," I said with a smile on my face, "Then you just found the right person to travel with~!" I then gave them a wink.
We all laughed but something whispered in my mind, things I can't understand, but I know is important.
The others soon wake up and we told them the plan to go Underworld. We all high-fived! Then we heard a dog bark.
"Cerby!" Percy screamed as he went to give his pet Cerberus a hug, "We're gonna go strolling in the Underworld and give daddy's ol' butt a kick."
Then Cerby barked in agreement.
"We're going to Hollywood baby!" Jr screamed and that's where our trip started.

We decided to go to Hollywood's hotel and stay there for the night. Everyone easily got into sleep but not me. I prefer sleeping in a tree. I went out for a walk in a nearby lake. It was peaceful and quiet. Crickets were chirping in the trees. A nice place for me to take a nap in dark night.
I jumped onto a branch (which I almost slipped down, epic fail) and there I decided to take a nap. I closed my eyes and when I was about to succumb to my tiredness, I sensed a presence nearby. It's not an ordinary presence. Not mortal or demigod.
"Oh please... don't let your father see what's under your skirt, Jeanne" a deep voice said below. There I saw a man with shaggy black hair in a black t-shirt in a black pants. Because of his sudden presence, I flinched and fell down from the branch, hitting my back first.
I shook my head from the sudden impact and quickly rose up. I had knives on my hands instantly. "Are you really going to fight your own father, Jeanne?" the man in black asked with his head tilted. "Father?" I said, "No way... Thanatos, my own father is right before my eyes..." I cannot believe he is here. Something tells me something bad is what he is going to tell me.
"Why are you here?" I asked, my eyes narrowed as i lowered my knives. He took a deep breath and exhaled. His pitch black eyes stared into me.
"Jeanne, truth to be told, Apollo sent me here," he answered.
"Why? Apollo.. I mean Lord Apollo must be crazy for asking you to see me..." I said, "I mean... things will get messy in here right now..." My father smiles yet his smile fades away.
"Apollo told me one of his prophecy..." my father explained and so I listened carefully, "He was too busy to be here so he asked me to pass it to you. He told me that one you called a friend shall be a deceiver to all of you... That was all he said"
Iza, one of them will be like ... Iza....
I put on my thinking cap. 'One you called a friend shall be a deceiver to all of us'... I thought for a moment and my light bulb lit up.
"A traitor..." I mumbled, "Surely that I would accuse James first...." "Why is that you must blame Poseidon's son?" my father asked.
'Why is that you must butt in to somebody's accuse?" I said sarcastically. I chuckled but I stopped. "Sorry... Thana- I mean... Father"
He smiled for a moment. Then, I noticed a bunch of butterlies swirling around him.
"I must go now, Jeanne" he said, "Lord Hades and my brother, Hypnos must be wandering why I am not in the Underworld by now. Also, in my opinion, the person you least expect will surprise you in the end..." the butterflies soon engulfed my father's appearance and then...
POOF!
Father's gone. Once again, another traitor will rise. I must hurry to tell this to everyone.
I turned around only to find James looking at me with shock.
Gods of olympus... that means he heard everything???
