I came back into consciousness the pain shot through my body again. I felt something escape through my lips. It was a scream. I screamed from all the pain from holding the sky for hitting the rock, and from everything else that has happened in my life. When my scream finally subdued I looked around me. 
To my left Percy was fighting a but of monsters killing them one after another trying to get to me. To my left Lucas was battling two harpies. Directly in front of me Artemis was waking up and making her way over to me.
My eyes began to shut. My body would move no matter how much I tried or how hard. When I breathed in and out it felt as if they had broken of cracked. A single tear ran down my face. I thought about how Percy would react if I died. Even worse how would Marry react? More tears ran down my face. I couldn't die not yet not hear I kept telling myself. With all my strength I sat up.
"Willow!" Percy shoted
"Hey," I croaked out
"That was so stupid," he said making me laugh but stop due to my damaged ribs
"Here eat this," Lucas said handing me some ambrosia
"Thanks," I said
"Why did you do that?" Lucas asked
"I knew I had to, so I could help Artemis," I said
"How did you get him to hold it again?" Percy asked
"I played on his ego making it seem that it was light, he hated that I could hold it easier than him," I said
"Smart," Lucas said
"Were is Artemis?" Percy asked
"Right here," she said
"Oh" Percy responded
"Thank you, child," she said to me
"Your welcome" I sadi
"Should we head down the mountain?" Percy asked
"Yes," I said
"Okay let's go," Percy said. He helped me stand and all four of us headed down the mountain.

~Time Skip~
We got to the bottom of the mountain. Once we were down there I immediately wished we hadn't. There was another army and their leader was Orion. 
My dream started to play in my head. An army led by Orion all of us fighting. Then I attacked him and got hit into a tree.
"Willow, are you okay? You look like you saw a ghost" Percy asked me

"Ya I'm fine," I said snapping out of it"What do we do know," Lucas asked
"Fight," I said. Grabbing my bracelet I felt the weight of my quiver and bow resting on my back. 
"Ok," Percy said pulling his pen/sword out of his pocket
"Let's do it," Lucas said getting his bow ready
We snuck over and killed the monsters that weren't near the rest. We all agreed to have a side. I took the left, Lucas took straight, Percy took right, and Artemis was gone. The monsters saw Lucas first then looked all around at us and attacked.
A hellhound came at me. I slide under its and sliced it with my dagger. It turned into gold dust right over me. First monster down a hundred more to go. As I fought an arrow hit the tree right next to me. I turned and looked at Orion who was knocking another arrow. I ran at him and stabbed him in the foot.
"You think you can defeat me, child?" He bellowed looking at me
"No. I know I can" I said confidently
"Haha," he laughed. I ran to the tree next to him and climbed it as fast as I could till I was out of sight.
"Were have you gone demigod?" He asked
"Here," I said jumping off the tree with my daggers ready. I landed on his neck. I lifted my daggers and stabbed him in the neck and tried to summon lightning but nothing came.
"Father please" I pleaded. I tried again and this time, lightning came and engulfed me. Pain shot through me feeling like I was being electrocuted. We both fell.
When I hit the ground black dots came backfilling my vision. When they finally cleared I could see Orion moving. He recovered quickly reaching for his bow. He knocked and arrow and aimed it at Percy.
I changed into a cheetah and ran as fast as I could to Percy. At the last moment, I changed into myself and jumped in front of him. Everything happened in slow motion. The arrow shot Percy trying to shove me out of the way but failing and the arrow passing through me. I fell onto the ground with the arrow in my stomach.
Right after the arrow flew through the air Orion turned to gold dust. Percy was at my side with me in his arms.
"Willow, Willow" he cried
"it's okay Percy," I told him
"No, it's not," he said as Lucas joined us
"What happened?" he asked
"She jumped in front of me as Orion shot the arrow" Percy said
"Stupid girl," Lucas said
"What do you mean?" I choked out
"That was meant for Percy, not you," Lucas said
"What?" Percy asked stunned
"This whole thing was coming and Orion asked me to join and lure you here. I did and then he was going to kill you, Percy. But stupid Willow got in the way" Lucas said
"You betrayed us," I said
"Yes," he said as my mind went to the prophecy. "one will betray them all". It was Lucas.
"Howe could you?" I said
"Easy The gods don't care about us and he did. I joined him to take over the world," he said.
"But" Percy started
"I would chat more but I have to go," he said whistling.
"Bye," He said as his pegasus came and they left.
Percy grabbed his backpack and grabbed some ambrosia and then a bandage and pulled the arrow out. I let out a cry of pain. He feeds me the ambrosia and then wrapped up on my stomach. He stood up holding me bridal style and then he called our pegasuses. When they came Percy set me on mine, and then went and got on his.
When we were in the sky my eyes started to get heavy and close. I laid my head on Midnight and started to close my eyes.
"Willow doesn't close your eyes," he said
"I'm really tired though," I said
"I know but keep them open for me please" he pleaded
"I'm only going to take a quick nap," I said closing my eyes
"No" but it was to late I had already closed them falling into an alternative universe.
