Undercover (PJO/HoO Fan-fic)

Chapter 2- Clover

My wrist buzzed. I held up my hand, and Malcolm, another Athena kid, lowered his sword. I touched the spy watch and a screen popped up. A recording.

"We are going to let the Romans tear apart Camp Half-Blood instead of spreading out sources thin by attacking it and when th-"

Gaea's voice stopped. Why?

"Octavian, let our eavesdropper in" I froze on the spot, and apparently, Tyler had the same idea. The door flew open to reveal an empty room, just the blood thirsty Octavian in view.

"Well," Octavian said, grabbing Tyler's wrist, "We've got a spy."

My breath caught. The image flickered, then disappeared, leaving only Malcolm and I alone in the arena. I exhaled and it came out as three or so different puffs, as if I were on the bridge of crying, which I was. I threw down my sword and raced out of the arena, Malcolm calling for me to come back.

I burst through the front door of the Big House and called,

"Chiron!" I ran down the hall and almost tripped over the centaur (in wheelchair form). He held up his hands,

"Woah my dear. What is the problem?" My mouth tasted like iron.

"Tyler..... he.... he's been found." Chiron's face hardened. He wheeled his chair into the office, which was heavily guarded with paneled metal walls, bulletproof windows, and overall a pretty secure place. Chiron went over to the computer and logged on. He scrolled through his downloads and pulled up a video. He spun his wheelchair around to face me.

"Clover, please watch this video. It.... will help." He rolled out of the room, before I could ask any type of question. I looked at the computer and bit my lip. I sighed and opened a fold up chair that was leaning against the wall. I scooted closer to the screen and clicked on the play button. A picture of a boy popped up, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He was slightly taller than i was, but you couldn't tell since he was sitting down. He had well fit arms, because being a demigod keeps you in shape. His name was Tyler Jackson. Percy Jackson's brother. (A/N- I know a lot of people have wrote about Percy having a brother/sister, but hey! We liked the idea!) How he was related, i had no clue. Tyler had been friends with me ever since I had come to Camp Half-Blood. He was.... well, like a brother to me.

Tyler waved at the screen, in the annoying way he does things. (which was a complement!!)

"Hey! If you're watching this, well, I am guessing I am in some really deep trouble," he shook his head, obviously unhappy about it,

"Anyway, if Chiron decided to show you this video, well, like I said, deep trouble." Tyler twisted in his chair trying to keep himself busy. Stupid ADHD, I thought, Always gets in the way of things.

"So...... yeah. I have created this plan, something I call, The Amazing Plan! Dun dun dun!!!" He laughed at himself, and I couldn't help laughing too.

"So the plan is that...... you have to go on a quest to save me! Yeah!!!" Tyler waved his hands in the air sarcastically.

"I am about to die, so I am guessing I DO need saving, but it shocks me to think that I, the great Tyler Jackson, would EVER need to be saved. I mean, seriously! I have been taught by the best people to do this job! How I would get discovered, I have no clue, but there you go. You got my complaining." Tyler straightened in his chair, and faced the screen head on all serious like.

"I have created a group of people who are able to go on this quest. If you name is not on it, then I am sorry. Find a person on the list to do it." In the bottom left hand corner, a little image popped up that read, PRESS HERE FOR LIST. I was about to move my mouse to click on it, but Tyler, on the video, raised his hand,

"Ah ah ah! Don't click on it just yet. I still have some explaining to do." I sighed and sat back in the uncomfortable chair, and Tyler did the same thing on the video. Creepy....

"Now, if I have been placed in the dungeons, then it is impossible for me to get out. It is unnaturally secure. Not even gods can escape from the prison. Gaea herself is using her power to keep every monster, demigod and god imprisoned there, since it is in her domain. The ground." I looked at my feet and shuttered. Another creepy thought.....

"Anyway, to get me out safely, or at least I hope so, you will need to get me above ground level. If Leo is still working on the Argo II, great! Use that to bust me out!" I sighed and put my head in my hands and rubbed my temples. Leo had left at least a week ago with the rest of the seven on the quest to stop Gaea, so the Argo II wouldn't be any good.

"If not..... well, pegisi would be nice." Tyler added. I sighed and looked at the ceiling. Why did Blackjack have to eat those donuts? (LONG STORY) He and the rest of the pegisi had flown off, unable to find. Nope, they weren't an option either.

"Whatever you use, make sure I am above ground when you rescue me. Okay, you may now click on the list. In advance," Tyler leaned in close to the screen, "Tell Clover that I will be just fine." And with that, the screen went blank. The little box for the list was still there, taunting me to click on it. I blinked a couple times, then moved my mouse and clicked on the box. A Windows document popped up with a list of names:

1 Percy

Nope, he was on the quest....

2 Annabeth

On the quest....

3 Grover

Unable to find.....

4 Rachel

Unable to lead a quest, and I thought Tyler would know that. Huh.....

And at the very end of the list was

5 Clover

I sighed with relief and read the note on the bottom:

If any of you are available to take up this quest, please do. Choose who you may, but you must be one of these five to lead the quest. Thank you, and good luck!

I wanted to cry, but I had to keep my head high. Being a demigod was hard, but you had to stick out out and not get killed. My favorite quote always made me want to do better: "All you need to save the world is Wisdom and a Mechanical Pencil." I smirked to myself. That was MY quote. I created it. I stood up and turned off the computer screen. I folded up the chair and looked out the window. The strawberries were still baking in the sun, the sounds of the forge echoed across the valley and the lava wall crashed in the distance. Camp Half-Blood was my home, along with more than 100 kids. If I failed to rescue Tyler, it could mean the end for everyone, maybe the entire world. I turned away and walked out of the room, determined and scared.
