The War Of The Gods

Chapter Seventeen

~Leo~

“Why is it always death!?” Leo exclaimed to himself. Something was fishy about that ‘Hel’ and Leo didn’t like it. “Hey Hel!  Wanna tell me how to get out of here before you leave?”

“You already know” a voice boomed through the cell, it wasn’t Hel though.

“Um, no I don’t otherwise I would’ve already left and who are you?” Leo snapped grumpily. He was tired of the dark, oh wait, fire. He lit his palm ablaze, yet he still couldn’t see who had spoken to him. Leo glanced around him to try and find some sort of door, the only one he could find was large and metal with a large padlock and chains. Would’ve been fine if he had his handy dandy tool belt, but noo.

“Use your brain” they chuckled, their laughter bouncing off the walls.

“Okay, this’ll take a while.”

~Annabeth~

“You’re a monster!” she cried as she pounded on Loki’s back. He had slung her over his shoulder and his grip was too strong. They were in Asgard, terror spread through Annabeth as she saw all of the gods in suited armor.

“You’re going to watch all your friends die. You will watch the light leave their eyes as we head into battle” Loki hissed.

“Brother!” Thor called out,  Loki cringed.

 “Yes Thor?”

“Why do you carry a demigod girl on your shoulder? Shouldn’t she be with the others?” Thor asked   crossing his arms.

“No, she has a ‘special’ place where she needs to go. Besides, she needs to meet someone” Loki said.

 “Okay. Well, we go to war with the Greeks at dawn” Thor said suspiciously.

 “I hate you all” Annabeth snapped, “You kill my boyfriend and then turn him into someone else! You Norse are monsters!” Loki started to walk away towards the boy named Asmundr. In other words, towards Percy. “Percy!” Annabeth screamed, she slammed her fists into Loki’s back as hard as she could, although it only made her fists hurt due to the fact that he was wearing armor. Looking into his eyes, he saw that they were the same blue as Reyna’s were, meaning he was under Loki’s control.

“Asmundr, be a dear and take this girl to the others” Loki sighed, handing Annabeth over to him. He nodded and spun on his heels turning down a dark hall.

 “Percy! Look at me, it’s Annabeth!” she cried, he didn’t flinch. “Percy, I swear to every god I know, I will slap you across the face if you don’t look at me!”

“Stay quiet” he snapped in a voice that was not Percy, not even human. Annabeth struck him hard in the back of the head.

“Do not tell me what to do. I don’t care who you are” she snapped back.

 “Ow! That hurt Annab-“ his face went hard again.

 “No! Percy! It’s me you idiot! You almost said my name!” Annabeth cried, Percy stopped in front of a door. “Percy!” he opened the door and basically tossed  her inside and slammed the door.  “PERCY!” she screamed, pounding the doors with her fists as hard as she could.

 “Annabeth?” she heard Leo whisper behind her.

 “Yeah, it’s me, Leo” she sighed, sliding down the metal door. “This sucks” she complained, leaning her head back on the door.

“Well, aren’t you butterflies and sunshine!” Leo chuckled, “I don’t know about you, but having company is much better than being in here alone. Or with that Hel . . .”
