Maggie's Point of View
    I looked over to Rhaeghan. Rhaeghan is still in her clothes from earlier. A blue tank top that looks exactly like mine, jeans, and Converse. Good we can ran if we have to. I was still in my clothes from earlier. The black tank top, black jeans, and combat boots. I took my leather jacket off before first watch.
     "Are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded her head.
     "I just can't believe Nico would do this to us. After he broke up with you it was weird. But then this?" She said in disbelief.
     "It wasn't Nico." I faced forward again.
     "What? It was Nico. What are you talking?" She said to me. Out of the corner of my eye I saw her look at me like I was crazy.
     "It wasn't Nico." I said again.
     "How do you know?! How are you so sure? He did just break up with you." Rhaeghan exclaimed.
     "It wasn't Nico. I'm sure of it. When that person brought us here he used light to travel instead of shadows. He light traveled. He didn't shadow travel. So he is a son of Apollo. And I know only one person who would be rude to me and bring us here to Ouranos's place." I paused. "It's Jax." A laugh erupted from the shadows on the other side of the room.
    "Brilliant! You really are a daughter of Athena. You're a genius, sweetie!" Jax came over to me. He touched my cheek when he said sweetie.
     "Get away from me you traitor!" I said.
     "Me? A traitor? No you're confusing me with yourself. You're the traitor. You left me for that Italian idiot!" He yelled.
     "Don't talk about him like that!" I yelled.
     "I don't care any how. The only reason you're here is because Ouranos needs you." He explained. The two boys came in again and grabbed us. We walked, more like were pushed, to a stone center outside in a garden.
     "Maggie!" Ouranos turned around and walked towards me.
     "What do you want?" I asked angrily.
     "Well. If you're not willing to join my army then I'll make you." He explained.
      He was only a foot away from me. I could smell the air before a lightning storm. Which makes sense. He was the original god of the sky. I laughed.
    "And how are you going to do that?" I asked still laughing.
    "I won't laugh Maggie. Remember I'm in your mind. Right now I can control the mind. Both your minds." He finished with a look of utter amusement.
    "Okay." I said. I had stopped laughing as soon as he said that.
    "Oh look who's not a brave hero after all." Ouranos mocked me.
     I got away from the goon holding me. I was about to punch Ouranos then my body turned around and I fought the goon behind me.
    "Rhaeghan help!!" I said.
      She turned around and started fighting the goon behind her. But she had a look of horror so I assumed she was in the same predicament. After both of the boys were on the floor, Rhaeghan and I stood in front of Ouranos as if waiting for orders.
     "You can control are movement but not our speech. So our friends will know it's not us." I said. I was still not able to control my movements so my voice and body language didn't match.
     "Not a problem. That's what eidolons are for." He turned to the two spirits next to him. "Make sure even if I'm not moving them you are."
     Then a darkness over came me. I don't know how long I was possessed but it felt like centuries. I know it's impossible but it felt like a very long time. I could feel my body move but I couldn't see or hear. At one point I was fighting somebody. I could tell by the way I was moving. And by how fast I was going they were good. No. Great.
      After the fight I knew the other opponent had lost. I felt the darkness leave my body. I caught my balance before I fell. What I saw before me was horrible!!

            Nico's Point of View
     We traveled through the shadows to Mount Olympus. Hazel held tightly to my one hand. Annabeth held tightly to my other. Once we got to the front of the building the throne room was in Annabeth led the way. She did design the place after all.
     She led us through a series of hallways. We finally stopped in front of fifteen foot doors. It took all of us to push them open. All the gods and goddesses turned their attention towards the demigods. Poseidon and Hades looked worried. Percy marched right up in front of Zeus.
     "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SISTERS?!" He yelled. He looked angry.
    "Poseidon, you have more then one daughter?" Zeus pretended to be shocked. He was trying to change the subject.
    "No. Only one." Poseidon said quietly.
    "Then your son is delusional." Zeus said.
    "First off! I'm right here! Second, YOU know I mean Maggie and Rhaeghan!" He shouted again.
    "Where are they?" I asked calmly.
    "We don't know!" Zeus said.
    "CUT IT WITH THE BULLSHIT AND TELL ME WERE MY GIRLFRIEND IS!!" I yelled. Everybody jumped, even Percy.
    "I told you we don't know!" Zeus said. He was nervous.
    "If you don't help us, you will be sorry. So I'm going to ask one more time. Where are my sisters?" Percy said calmly. All the gods and goddesses looked at Zeus and each other.
    "Okay fine. She is in Italy." He continued to tell us where. We zapped back on to the boat. We were only a half hour away from the place.
    Once we got to the place we went to ,the garden with a huge stone circle patio, we went in search for the patio. When we got to the patio Maggie and Rhaeghan were there with Ouranos. We walked towards them. Once we got close we saw their eyes were gold. No iris. No pupil. Just gold. When they spoke we knew it was eidolons. I had to fight the one in Maggie. It was good at fighting. We fought for a little bit until I felt a sudden pain.
     I fell to the ground. I looked at my stomach where the pain was coming from and saw a foot long cut that was bleeding badly. I heard a gasp and turned to see Maggie with her hand over her mouth. She kneeled down beside me and held me in her arms.
    "I'm so sorry, Nico. I did this. I did this to you." She had tears running down her face.
    "No, Maggie. This wasn't you. This was someone controlling you." I said through shallow breaths.
    "By the way I know it wasn't you who handed us over." She said.
    "Good. And believe me, I don't want to break up with you." I laughed which caused more pain.
     By now everybody was around us.
      "What should we do now Maggie?" Percy asked.
       Maggie stood up and walked about ten feet away.
     "I'm sorry guys." She paused. "But this is my fight."
      All of the sudden we were in a sphere of water. I looked around.
     "Percy we have to get out and help her. She's going to get herself killed." I said.
     "I'll try." He moved some of the water so there was a small hole. A bunch of light flooded in and blinded us.
     "She has layers around us. And no one here except her can control light."
      She just marched to her own death.
