Destiny Calls (A Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

11: Percy is an idiot. As usual.

"Do you have ambrosia?"

"Yes."

"Nectar?"

"Yes.."

"Extra rations?"

"Yes..."

"Spare arrows and daggers?"

"Di immortales, yes! Percy, stop being the annoying older brother and go back to being the stupid friend I know!" I yelled.

He gave me the sad baby seal eyes and I glared at him. "I'm pretty sure that people with silver and grey eyes have the scariest glares. You and Wise Girl should have a glaring contest."he shivered.

I smirked at him. "You want a glare? I'll give you a real glare." I shrunk into a white wolf and glared as ferociously as possible. He took a step backwards and winced. 

"You got dad's shapeshifting abilities as well? THIS IS NOT FAIR DAD!"

I returned to a normal human form. "Only a wolf. It's because Poseidon has the dormant poly-morph ability and Artemis has predatory animals. So I got a wolf."

"Still not fair."

"You can summon hurricanes. I can summon a small sphere of water. All sea creatures bow at your seas. They all like you more than Triton! I'm just the second level princess. At least your abilities are more powerful than mine."

"That's good point." By this time, Annabeth had walked over.

"Seaweed Brain, you aren't annoying my sister, are you?" she said with a fake pout.

"Well, more accurately, I am both your sister and sister-in-law, for both of you." I smirked. They both blushed as blood rushed to their cheeks.

"I'm not annoying her! I'm just being a considerate older brother!" Percy complained.

"That's for Tyson, not Thea. Thea has Thalia, and me, and Malcolm, and pretty much everyone in the Athena Cabin and the Artemis Cabin." Annabeth explained. "No blue cookies for a week."

"What? I NEED BLUE COOKIES!"

"Or would you rather no kisses?" Annabeth said cheekily. Percy immediately pouted.

"Any tips on how to survive the Labyrinth?" I said.

"One: always have someone keeping watch. Two: Watch your step. Three: Make sure that your guide is reliable. Four: Don't get yourself blown up or killed. Five: Don't go all smart on the sphinx. Six: Don't go fight monsters for fun. Seven: Don't..."

"Shut up Perce." Annabeth laughed. "He basically means 'Don't be me and be stupid.' Because that's what he did."

"Thanks, Annabeth. Bye Percy." I said, smiling. I ran off to meet Dom, Leah, Tom and Max, who were standing at Thalia's pine tree. "How are we getting to the Labyrinth Entrance? Do you even know where one is? And I am not hailing a cab, especially the Grey Ladies'."

"Nearest one would be on Wall Street." said Max, squinting into the distance. "Or that hotel thing."

"Marriott Hotel?" Leah asked. "We could go there. It's in the basement, so the Mist won't be a big problem."

"But how are we supposed to get in? It's not like they'll just let 4 teenagers just waltz into a high class hotel!" pointed Dom, his eyebrows raised.

"Dad." was Leah's only response.

"Althea, could you call the pegasi?" said Tom, who was twirling his whips around. "Tell them to bring us to the Marriott."

I nodded, and let out a wolf howl. Swan, Porkpie, Sugarcube, Treacle and another Pegasus flew in from the skies. Wassup, Silverswan. I said to my pure white pegasus. Can you bring us to the Marriott Hotel?

Swan whinnied in replied. Sure boss. Giddy-up guys, we're flyin! I jumped on to her back, while Sugarcube lowered her neck to let Leah on. Treacle took Tom on to his back, but he whinnied constantly. 

This guy is making me confused! Make him stop! Treacle complained.

"Sorry Treac. He's the son of Confusion." I replied. Treacle snorted and rolled his eyes, if that was possible with Pegasi. The other pegasus, a red bay, was licking Max, who was desperately trying to stop it.

"Thea! How do you get this strawberry monster..." the pegasus nibbled on his ear. "Ow! From licking me?"

What's your name, red bay? I asked. The horse whinnied in response.

The name is Joey, not red bay! He said, shaking his head. Get it right!

Wait, like Warhorse Joey? I replied.

No, I'm an original. I sighed, and glanced over to Dom. Porkpie was avoiding Dom, trying to run away from him. "No. Porkpie! Stop. Stay... Good pegasus! Ack! Stop!" said Dom, "Why do these creatures keep avoiding me?"

"Porkpie! Just let him get on!" I groaned.

Why do I always get the Death Breaths? First Hades's son, then Thanatos! Who's next? Melinoe's?

"Just let him. He's not all bad. He's pretty nice compared to the Ghost King." I said.

"Well, excuse you. He's only the child of the Underworld, while I'm the Child of DEATH." Dom attempted an evil laugh, only to be laughed at. "What? I'm not scary enough? Is that a challenge?"

I kept my laughter in my throat. "No Death boy. You're plenty scary, right guys?" Tom pretended to barf while the pegasi started to jump around in excitement. "Come on Pegs, lets get to the Marriott."

----Time Lapse (plus a lot of donut stops)----

"I still don't think security would let us in. We're underage! We don't look near 16. We have scary weapons. How are we even supposed to get through the metal detector?" Max was ranting as we walked in to the Hotel.

"Watch and learn, young Padawan." Dom said, and he walked right past the security measures without anyone giving him a second glance. Max looked slightly shocked, and Leah smirked at him.

"After you, sir." Leah mocked him. Max rolled his eyes and walked past the security measures, but he glanced around once in a while to make sure no one was watching. I decided to test the Mist's ability, so I turned into a wolf and walked in. Some of the mortals looked at me, and one kid even shouted 'Cute dog! Cute dog!'

"Aww, they think you're cute!" said Leah as we went into the basement. "I think somebody agrees with them. And it's so cute that everyone but her realizes it!"

"Knock it off, Kingsley." groaned Dom, hands over his ears. "Your inner Aphrodite is showing."

"Her outer Aphrodite is showing, Dominique." I argued. "Have you not realized that her mother has changed every single thing I wear into a chiton?"

"Of course! You also had different colors, like purple, blue and silver." Leah made kissy gestures as Dom spoke.

"Uh guys? Is this the Labyrinth symbol?" Max called. We looked to see the glowing Rho, a P that glowed white.

"It's changed..." I murmured. "It use to be the glowing blue Delta. Must be Pasiphaë's mark." I reached out to touch the symbol, and a door slid open.

"Are you guys ready for the quest that one of us might die in?" asked Leah with sarcastic cheeriness.

"Sure. Why not, Leah? Let's go throw ourselves in the face of danger, and probably die! Fun!" Tom replied.

"Ugh spoiler." Leah made a face. "Let's go before I decide that this is a bad idea."

Finished Trials of Apollo! :) Trials of Apollo, instead of being set 6 months after the Gaea War, will now take place 1 year and 6 months after the Gaea War according to my story, and Python hasn't gotten Delphi yet. Yet. Short-ish chapter.
