Percy Jackson, Cousin of Black

~VI~

Don't play fake

Clarisse stomped through Hope of Olympus. Everybody, Roman and Greek quickly went out of her way, avoiding her. When Clarisse was on a rampage, everyone knew to avoid her.

"Chase!" Clarisse screamed. She had been away when the ceremony took place. Only hearing now that Percy was betrayed by his friends. Clarisse didn't care about the rest of the seven. And she told everyone she hated Percy. But behind her back everyone knew they had a mutual respect for the other. Always willing to help if needed. You could even call them friends. Not close friends, just I-tell-you-hi-every-morning friends. But even she had said that Percy was strong. She would follow him into war, because they would succeed.

And let's say she never really liked Annabeth because of Ares - Athena.

Annabeth turned around on her heels when she heard her name. She hoped it was someone who would have news about the whereabouts from Percy but she felt disappointed and a little fear when she saw Clarisse. A red glowing aura around her.
"Yes Clarisse?"

"Oh don't play sacred Miss Know-It-All. What did you do to Percy?" Clarisse backfired. Her eyes promised a painful death if she didn't get an answer soon. Annabeth took an small gulp.

"I did nothing Clarisse, why would you think I did something?" She acted like she didn't know a thing. Oh, how Clarisse wanted to scratch her eyes out and to throw her newly fixed spear through her stomach.

"One, Percy didn't show up for our weakly training. For two weeks.
Two he promised he would be on our team as soon as capture the flag would begin and he never breaks his promises.
Three, no one has seen Percy for more then three weeks."

"He's with his mom, the poor lady had to miss him for 8 months." Annabeth turner towards her blueprint ones again with a little smile on her face.

"We did so too, besides his mom would have at least made him contact us. Tell me the truth Malakas! (*)"

"How dare you call me that! I did not do anything wrong!"

"Don't listen to her Clarisse." A new voice said. They looked around to see Thalia, sitting on the table, feet on the chair in front of her, sharpening an arrow with a silver dagger. The hunters stood behind her. Bows in the hands and gazes focused on the daughter of Athena.

"Thals! I'm so happy to see you!" Cried Annabeth. A smile portrayed on her face, but her grey eyes showed her insecurity. Thalia switched her sky-blue eyes from the arrow in her hand towards Annabeth. Her gaze was cold, no emotion except anger in it.

"Don't call me Thals. You got Percy sent away, banished from Olympus, nearly killed, because you wanted to show everyone you were the best. You didn't believe me, nor Percy, nor Nico nor some others when we said that Percy was innocent, that he never ran away. Because you wanted to be recognized as a hero and made a Goddess. Because you wouldn't believe you fought an illusion." Her voice was like daggers, slicing through Annabeths skin. Cold, nearly a whisper and yet loud enough for the whole pavillion to hear.

"We did fight the real Gaea, Percy ran away, he was a coward!" Annabeth knew faking it wasn't going to help anymore. Thalia had been there, and she and Nico were the one Percy saved.
Only trying to get her to see she wasn't in real danger. Annabeth would not let Thalia get into real danger.

"Prissy is a lot of things, but no coward. Where is he?"

Campers had come to watch while they were going back and forth. Even Chiron stood there, Dionysus was called to Olympus, so he wasn't here.

Thalia's eyes stared blankly at Annabeth. She couldn't believe how much the girl has changed, but then when they were younger, she remembered Annabeth always trying to be the best, not always on the correct ways, but she had thought Annabeth had became better.

"Where is he?" A new camper asked, merely a child. She arrived right before the war. She was a child of Hermes, her name was Cyelle. Percy was the one who saved her, he was a brother to her.

"They don't know." Hazel answered. She and Frank had just arrived. She had asked for forgiveness. Nico and Thalia were willing to forgive her, if she could prove it. Hazel knew that, she was glad for the opportunity, she know she should have known better.

People turned towards her.
"We went towards his mom's home but some old lady opened the door. She told us the previous inhibitants had moved and that their son had left just a few moments prior. Following a letter."

The campers were silent. Nico had appeared next to Thalia. They looked at each other.
"Sally's brother!" They shouted out together. They went towards the pont, the campers following them.

When they arrived they saw them looking mad at the rainbow.
"Iris is buzzy." Thalia told them.
Hazel reluctantly stepped forward.

"Maybe we should try Fleecy."
Nico made a go on gesture.
"Fleecy, do me a favor, show me Sally Jackson London."

The rainbow shimmered and the saw a dark room. A few people were sitting there. A woman and a men with red hair, a man with huge scars and short brown hair, a man with long black hair and some features they also recognized in the woman beside him. She had pink hair. And then there were Sally and Paul. Sally also looked like the last two.
The woman with the pink hair turned towards them and gasped. She nudged the black haired man.

"Merlins beard, who are you?"
The others turned around.

"Thalia, Nico, how are you doing?" Sally smiled at them. They smiled back.

"Do you know where Percy is?"

Sally's smile became tight, lips pushed together, her eyes dark and sad.

"Yes." Was the answer. Camp could breath again. Reyna and Rachel smiled at each other, glad he was okay. "But I'm not going to tell you, he told me everything. He made me a list of people who could know. Pm me back at sundown, alone and I will tell you who you need and where you can find him." She swiped her hand through the veil and the image disappeared.

The campers looked grim. This was after all their fault.

Whohoo, two chapters to brighten your day. To thank you to stay with me.

The mood did get heavy...
Sorry about that.
