Percy Jackson and The Ghost Girl

Chapter Ten: The Sixth Day

Later that night after dinner, I went to the campfire, then to bed.

I haven't seen Michaela since her little stunt with the Stolls. I wasn't worried, she was a ghost, and she can take care of herself (if what happened to the Stolls is any conciliation).

It was weird how fast she left, (right when I started laughing) maybe there is a reason she's cautious, she seemed scared to be revealed. Like her life depends on staying hidden.

The walk to the dining pavilion just felt short. I keep thinking about the possibilities.

But, my biggest question is, what is she hiding from?

Michaela is running from something, most likely from her past.

As I sat down in the dining pavilion, a flash of light came. Or flashes of light.

Once it died down, the Olympians, plus Hades and Hestia stood in the middle of the open pavilion.

As many started to bow, Zeus with his master bolt, thundered, "WHERE IS THE GIRL?!?" Staring straight at me.

"What girl?" I threw back easily.

It looks like a vein is about to pop, Zeus is beyond angry.

Before Zeus can speak, my dad steps in. "Perseus, we know you can see a ghost. Where is she?" I gap at him, I have never heard him speak with so much venom.

"What did she ever do to you?" I ask, looking at the gods in front of me, one at a time.

"She was banished to Tartarus." Athena sneered.

I stood up. There is no way Michaela deserves Tartarus.

"You don't believe them?" A little voice next to me asked. Knowing it is Michaela, I will not look at her. For her own safety.

"What did she do?" I demanded again, not caring that they could kill me. They have to go through me to get to her.

My father steps forward again, and moves in front of me. "She killed many of your half siblings." He stated, like that will solve everything.

"Okay. How does that prove anything?" I'm trying to see what he's trying to get at. I know she didn't kill anyone, I can see her kind nature. It makes me wonder if she is a Daughter of Hades. They make it seem like she's a demi-titan.

I don't know if I regret standing up for Michaela, or not. Maybe if I didn't stand up for her, everything would have been fine. Who am I kidding? It would've still happened.

"There will be a meeting with all the demi-gods of both camps, and the hunters tonight. If she isn't there..." Zeus left the threat hanging in the air, as he spoke after a few silent minute of the Olympians shock disbelief.

And, they simply left.

With that, my life got more confusing, chaotic, and painful.
