Percy Jackson: Battle of the Creators

Chapter 12: The pursuit

Leo's POV

  I ran as fast as my legs could take me. I got to tell Chiron about creepy Annabeth and Piper in the woods. Even when I thought of them, I shivered. I totally need some coffee. Ain't use to 'em like that. I need to get to Chiron ASAP...... Uh oh. I definitely did not want to be in this situation right now...

Abbadon's POV

  "So, what can I do for our commander? Isn't he suppose to, you know, prepare for the mission?" Ethan asked as I took a seat across him. I sighed, "I know, but this is important too. Can you answer honestly to my questions, Ethan? Please, I need to know the truth."Ethan grudgingly nodded, his face full of curiosity.

  "Ask away. I'll try to answer them if I know the answer to it. But let me guess, it is something about your memories right? Why is it hurting so much to remember, or why can't you remember much about your past life?" Ethan's response made me stop my thoughts and stare at him, wondering how does he know. Oh right, memories, Ethan.

  I composed myself and just nodded. Ethan poured a cup of tea for himself and gestured to my cup. "Tea?" Before I could answer him, he had already poured it into my cup. I sipped my tea, and waited for Ethan to explain to me.

  "Right, how do we begin? Ah, remember the time when I asked you for help? I told you that something was making Squad Omega lose their memories, right? It was some sort of deal, but what I don't get is even though you died, you still had your memories and they faded over time. The others lost their memories almost immediately..."

  Ethan paused for a while to sip his cup. I tried to process what he had told me so far. "Wait a minute, if that is so, why do I feel pain when I remember something?" I asked, desperate for answers. Ethan paused for a while before shaking his head. "I have no idea. Sometimes a person with power over something have very little control of his power, for example, your water powers. As they often say, the sea doesn't like to be restrained. This applies to your power too, as you draw your strength from the sea. The more you keep it tight on a leash, the more destructive the power will be."

  We both stood up as I was going to leave the room. Ethan shook my hand. "I'm sorry that I can't help much." I shook my head, "You did your best, Ethan. Now, I need to prepare or else Chaos will force tp me again. I HATE forced tp." Ethan laughed as I said that. He knew what I was talking about. Forced tp is basically being teleported without your consent, and it feels like you have been compressed to tiny particles before expanding again at your destination. Now, I gotta get my stuff.

Leo's POV

  I was trapped. Again. Dark vines snaked down my body as a tightly woven plant-net hung me upside down. I'm slowly brought upright to face the beautiful dark Demeter counsellor. She had a strangely enticing dark smile tugging at the corners of her pale face. The smile seems to pull me in, drawing me in. The more I look, the more deeper I fell into her spell. Although I knew that was happening, I can't stop looking. "So beautiful..." I heard myself mutter out. The Demeter camper smirked. 

  I heard someone else enter the clearing. Beauty Queen, I thought. "Hey, EK, could u like give me some more of that juice? I need it. Thanks." Evil Piper (Can I just call her EP?) drank some juice and I felt her aura increase. No matter, I was more focused on that Demeter camper, Katie's smirk. 

  EK spoke, and now I'm entranced by her voice. "Listen to Piper, Leo." Obediently, I felt myself turning to EP, I caught my breath for a moment. I still wasn't used to seeing Piper...not Piper. Gone was the beautiful girl who didn't want attention. In its place is a girl who will do anything to have the attention she wants.
