"What do you mean she's gone!" Percy roared in outrage as he paced back and forth. He ran a hand through his hair nervously and clenched his jaw. It was night time and Zoe, Phoebe, and Percy were having a quick meeting by Zeus fist. Phoebe looked at her brother sadly while Zoe put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He stopped pacing and looked at Zoe with slumped shoulders,

"We have to save her, we have to do something!" Zoe sighed,

"I know, Chiron has issued a quest for tomorrow. I have picked you, Phoebe, Bianca, and Thalia." She said Thalia's name bitterly which made Percy raise an eyebrow,

"What's wrong with Thalia?" Phoebe groaned and started mouthing, NO! But it was to late,

"She is far to clingy and annoying-" Phoebe held her face in her hands while Zoe droned on about why she didn't like Thalia. Zoe's real reason was because of how close she and Percy had become, but she made up several excuses as to why she didn't like the daughter of Zeus. Percy's eyes widened at all the reasons as he listened carefully...truth be told he started to space out and began to wonder the real reason Zoe didn't like Thalia, she was babbling and this made him instantly know that she was hiding something.

"She's great friend, and why did you pick Bianca? Just curious." Percy cut off Zoe who huffed and rolled her eyes,

"Gee I dunno, maybe it's because she's great with a bow and hunting knives. Or that she wants to be in the hunt and you've taught her how to shadow travel." She scoffed sarcastically making Phoebe snicker. Percy rolled his eyes and looked at Zoe worriedly,

"What's the prophesy say?" Zoe took a shuttered breath,

"Five shall go west to a goddess in chains,

One shall be lost in a land without rain,

The bane of Olympus shows the trail,

Campers and Hunters combined prevail,

The Titan's curse shall one withstand,

And one shall perish by a parents hand." Percy paled and looked at Zoe helplessly,

"We are not bringing Bianca on this little trip." He said trip as if it was the most disgusting thing in the world. Phoebe looked at him sympathetically,

"It'll be okay Perce, we'll protect her." He let out an exasperated sigh,

"But Phoebe, she hasn't mastered her shadow travel powers completely! What if she gets stuck and can't get to us because she has problems with her powers!" He started playing the role of worried big brother and it made Phoebe smile,

"Percy, your a great big brother. Bianca is tough, she'll be fine. Not to mention you'll be there to protect her!" Percy ran a hand through his hair and started pacing again,

"One shall perish by a parents hand...Five shall go west to a goddess in chains. Zoe! We're going to Mount Othrys! He has Artemis in chains, he's going-"

"to make her hold the sky." Zoe finished and Phoebe looked at them wide eyed,

"That was creepy, you guys just did one of those twin things." Despite the situation, Percy couldn't help but chuckle at Phoebe while Zoe looked at them angrily,

"Artemis is going to be forced to hold the sky and you two are laughing about twins!" They both looked down in shame,

"Sorry Zoe." They said in unison before Phoebe cursed in Greek,

"We did it again!" Percy held back a laugh but immediately turned solemn once he thought of his eldest sister in the hands of the titans. Phoebe saw this and did so as well and Percy wrapped an arm around her. Zoe looked at the two sadly for the hunters missed Artemis. Percy held out his free arm and Zoe embraced him as well and they stood there in silence as they thought of the difficult quest before them. Zoe buried her head in the crook of his neck making the son of Pluto blush. He rested his chin on her hair while Phoebe leaned her head on his shoulder. This is what a family is, people you can count on and trust, no spoken words are necessary for them to understand how your feeling. Percy thought as he stood there with his sister and best friend.
