Percy and the Moonstone

Chapter 2: The Gods Plot My Death... Again

Annabeth's POV

Percy just stormed out of here and he looked pretty mad. I guess you couldn't blame the guy. I mean the prophecy was clear enough to know that Percy was going to plan to destroy Olympus. Then again what if he already has. What if the next time I saw him he was leading a group of rouge demigods to destroy us.

No don't think like that.

"Annabeth please go get Percy. I believe all of us have a few questions for both of you." Chiron said his voice still sounding uncertain.

I hesitated for a couple seconds. Percy looked really mad.

Finally I got up and walked in the direction Percy was heading. I found him near the lake.

"Percy..." I said.

He didn't look up. He was looking at a bottle in his hand.

"Percy I know your mad-"

"I'm not mad Annabeth," he said, "I just for once want to stop being the savior of Olympus or the guy who could bring it down if his heart desired."

"Your not that guy. For all we know this could happen centuries later." I tried reasoning.

"It's not and you know it." He said still looking at that bottle.

"Percy what's in that bottle?" I asked.

"Don't know. It's a gift from Poseidon. He gave it to me during the Titan war. Never drank it."

I didn't say anything. It was obvious the bottle was full. I wondered what it was.

"Percy come back to the meeting," I pleaded.

"Why? So you guys can accuse me of taking down the gods and argue about whether or not I should just be killed!" He said his voice getting louder and angrier with every word.

"Thanks...but no thanks," He said getting up and walking to the bottom of the lake

Percy's POV

I was at the bottom of the lake staring at the bottle. I wondered what it would do? I don't even know why I had brought it out now of all times.

I decided to skip dinner. What was the point? Rumors would start soon enough and I would be seen as nothing but a traitor.

I looked at my watch, Tyson made me a new shield, to see it read 11:47.

I made my way towards my cabin. I fell asleep almost instantly.

In my dream I was in the throne room. The gods were arguing as usual.

"He is my son!" Poseidon yelled. Oh goody they were talking about me.

"Nonetheless we will vote. It is the only fair way. The boy either lives or dies fighting here at Mount Olympus." Zeus said calmly.

I glared at the gods, the immortals deciding how, and when, I am to die.

"All those against the ruling?" King Drama Queen, I mean Zeus, asked.

I saw three hands rise: Poseidon's, Athena's and...ARES?

Look at that! He loves me after all! But still Ares, the god of war and hater of a certain son of Poseidon, doesn't want to see me dead?

"Very well," Zeus said, "It has been decided. Perseus Jackson is to be killed."

Hades spoke up.

"If you don't mind me asking... what has the boy done wrong?"

Nobody spoke. Poseidon broke the silence.

"Brother has a point! My son has done nothing!"

Zeus got mad. "It has already been decided."

"Athena...the plan?" Hephaestus turned to the wisdom goddess.

"We invite the seven, Sally Jackson, Thalia, Nico, Grover, Chiron, and Rachel to Olympus, we say they are receiving gifts for there efforts."

My mother? They were bringing my mother into this?

Poseidon was thinking the same.

"Why are we bringing Sally into this?"

"She deserves to be there, all of the people will be told of our true plan before they arrive." Athena answered, "We will make them promise not to tell Percy. When the time is right, when he least expects it, we attack."

Wow! For someone who voted against it she seemed to have this planned out already.

That's when I woke up.

Walking out of my cabin I went towards the dining pavilion. The whole place went silent as I entered. It wasn't long though until the place erupted into whispers.

I ate my breakfast acting as if I didn't mind. Afterwards I went over to Annabeth.

"Hey Wise Girl," I greeted, smiling at her.

"Seaweed Brain," She smiled back but although she hid it well there was pain in her eyes.

"Any more prophetic dreams?" I asked casually.

"Nope," Her voice shook only slightly, "You?"

"Course not," I laughed and went into detail on a dream about me finding Nemo. I didn't show how annoyed I actually felt.

Out of all the people wouldn't Wise Girl tell me?

She laughed at the dream and then went off to train some of the younger campers.

I decided one thing right there. I was going to forget my friends, who were about to betray me, and I was going to train...hard.

I looked at the bottle on my dresser on the other side of the cabin formulating a plan. I focused and I felt myself dissolve. It didn't hurt at all.

I looked at the bottle and closed my eyes. When I opened them I was standing near my dresser.

Well... most of me.

Pain shot through me. My leg was still on my bed. I focused and my leg dissolved into mist.

When it reformed it was attached to my body and I couldn't fell any more pain.

I was going to need more practice.

Annabeth's POV

I thought about how cruel the plan was. I can't even warn Percy.

It was supposed to happen in five months. In that amount of time we would be done fighting Gaea and they would 'reward' us. (A/N this takes place after the son of Neptune. Leo never attacked New Rome and the seven went to Camp Half-Blood to prepare for the battle)

I hoped Percy survived the ambush but for that to happen he would have to know about the attack which he wouldn't.

Perseus Jackson is marked for death.
