the chaotic twins

things couldn't get any worse for them..... actually scratch that, they can. Luke and Zoe had gone to carry out what Percy had asked only to find that they couldnt leave. it was like they were trapped on earth. "percy! we cant leave, theres no way to get her to the safety of your father."zoe shouted over the scrambling campers. percy growled and looked towards the monsters nearest thalias tree. "the campers wont be able to keep this up forever." percy muttered before shouting "shes trying to wear out the campers. she wants the fight to end sooner than later. zoe protect artemis! luke! gather the others, defensive plan, plan 27 A." nodding luke ran off gathering the team and getting them into position. once in position each member cast a spell only they knew around the area sealing it off from the attacking forces. for now the camp and its campers were safe. "gather the wounded and move the dead to the amphitheater we'll deal with that after the war." percy said watching as nico was carried towards the healers.... but frank and hazel were carried in the opposite direction. grabbing Octavian percy whispered "take shifts gaurding and laying you spells over each others so that way we have several layers of the spells in place in case one is lost." octavian nodded in understanding and ran to explain to the others.

artemis did not look happy when percy returned to the cabin. "what do you mean i cant go out there?!?!!? he could be hurt and need help!!!" percy looked and say zoe getting the lecture of a lifetime and decided to intervein. "artemis im fine leave zoe alone... shes only doing her job." artemis whipped around so fast even percy was slightly frightened by the movement. pointing an accusing finger at him she growled out "how dare you leave me there without waking me!!. how dare you try to send me away to be safe!!.... my place is here you stupid son of a barnacle!!!" she was nearly in tears when she slapped percy. who actually turned from the force of the blow. "dont you ever do that again......... please just... dont" she whispered hugging him tightly. percy looked up when he heard snickering and glared at zoe who got the hint and left.

"so he wants to play the game this way?" order thought aloud as she watched the monsters attacks become useless against the new barrier. "no matter i'll just.... take care of things myself... reminds me of the good old days" she said with a wicked grin as she dropped from the sky effectively shattering the barrier that stopped her monsters from attacking. all movement had stopped as everyone stared at the new enemy in stunned silence. grinning wickedly order started to slash through each demigod that came to fight her... but she could never land a killing blow. it was as if there were some kind of resistance to her movements. not thinking anything of it she continued until her nephew opened the door of his cabin to see the destruction she was causing. and faster than most people could blink a dagger was sent flying straight at him. but it never hit its intended target.
