Son of Chaos (REWRITTEN) ✔️

Chapter Ten ~ I spy with my little eye...a daughter of Poseidon

Sigma's POV

Once we were out of the Big House and back into our tent, I spoke up.

"Someone in there isn't who they say they are. I couldn't pinpoint who was the spy, but they are definitely there."

"Should we interview each councillor?" Zoë asked.

"I don't know, we have to be strategic about this. If we interview all the councillors, and we don't find anyone, we might have to go through all the campers too, which means the spy could have already left by then. We also don't even know if they was a spy there, this is Lucifer we're talking about, he might have other ways to spy on us." Luke reasoned.

"Good point, but what if we walk around the dinning pavilion at supper or breakfast, that way if you sense a spy, you can just talk to everyone in that group and make it seem like you're just trying to get to know people." Bianca said.

"Good idea, that could actually work, let's do that at supper when most people will be there, then we can do it again at breakfast tomorrow if we don't find anything." I said. We all fist bumped and started to head out to lunch.

As we approached the dining pavilion, we heard hushed voices coming from behind a group of trees (thanks to our enhanced hearing).

"Are you sure this will work?" A female voice asked.

"Yes, yes! Now do as I ordered. Our Lord wouldn't be very proud if his only spy wasn't following orders." Another, more distant, voice said. This one sounded male, but it was kinda fuzzy.

"Yes Commander." The girl responded.

'Keep walking' I ordered.

'What, why?' Luke asked, everyone looked at me weirdly.

'Yeah, this could be your chance.' Infernum pointed out.

'It could ruin the entire plan if Lucifer knew that we knew about his spy. Just keep walking.'

My friends sighed, but kept walking. I know it may seem stupid, but we really can't take that chance of letting the spy get away or Lucifer knowing that we know about his spy. All our plans could come crashing down.

As we reached the Dinning Pavilion, everyone quieted down and started talking in hushed voices. Suddenly I felt a small tug on my cloak. I looked down to see a small girl about eight years old, she had wavy black hair and sea blue eyes.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Um, I'm-I'm Ruby, and I was wondering if you know where my brother Percy Jackson is? 'Cause Uncle Hades said that he's, um, that he's not dead." She mumbled while keeping her head down.

"How old are you?" I asked in a soft voice, I crouched down to her level.

"I'm eight sir." She answered quickly.

"And you're a daughter of Poseidon?" She only nodded. "I see. While I'm sorry to say that I don't know where he is."

"Oh, okay. Thanks anyways." She walked off looked very dejected. Technically I wasn't lying. I didn't know where Percy Jackson was, I lost that part of my long ago. Probably a week after I got back to my real home.

"Man I feel bad for the kid." Infernum sighed. I only patted him on the head.

Time to search for the spy.

A/N
I had the sudden urge to write.

Sorry it wasn't longer. I just wanted to get this out and over with. I have a pretty good idea on what's coming, some parts are kinda fuzzy which is why it's taking longer to get these chapters out. Though, the sooner I get to the end, the faster the chapters will come out (hopefully), mostly because I have a better idea on how it's ending.

I'm super excited for the sequel though, I have so many ideas for it! Agh, it's painful how slowly I'm getting through this book, honestly I think I like the sequel better and I haven't even started it.

Btw, the song is one of Fall Out Boy's newest song, "Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea". It's amazing and my favourite song right now.
