Clarrise POV

I follow Andrix out the Zeus cabin. I start toward my cabin when a swarm of campers pass by. I lose sight of Andrix before spotting him sneaking back toward the cabin. Idiot. I start to turn around when something catches my eye.

I turn to the forest where I see someone duck behind a tree. Are they watching me? I walk toward the tree line and pull out Maimer. I walk further in and see them duck away again. I raise my spear just to frighten them when I notice it gets dark. The sky is pitch black. I look around.

What happened? Is the last thing I think before something hits me in the back of the head.

Thalia POV

I stand on border patrol waiting for this darkness surrounding camp to subside. I hear a rustle beside me and stand ready but calm as I see another hunters face.

"You shift is up. You are wanted on Olympus. But first you have to get Percy and Nico and pick up the others back at The Big House," she says. I nod and head in that direction. I spot Percy up ahead and he suddenly whirls around sword in hand. He relaxes but at the same time seems disapointed when he sees me.

I relay the message and we begin walking to Nico.

"You didn't seem happy to see me," I comment. He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

"I just wish I was twelve again and they would try and attack me again," He says sadly. I nod in understanding. It has been three days since Clarrise's disappearance. She's not dead according to Nico and Hades but, that doesn't mean she is okay. I glance at Percy he has bags under his eyes. He hasn't been sleeping. I had noticed them yesterday and asked him about it all he said was:

"Dreams." But he said it with a look calm look on his face and fear in his eyes.

"Are they bad?" I asked. He either didn't hear it or he ignored my question. He paused.

"I haven't had dreams since I died," He said shaking his head.

++++

Soon Nico comes into view.

"Yo Death Breath!" Percy shouts. "We gotta go!" Nico shrugs and walks over. Percy explains what's going on and the two soon begin laughing and talking like old times. Honestly it's been a while since I've seen Nico smile. It makes me happy to be with my two 'brothers'.

"Death Breath were almost back," Percy comments.

"Great you can see," Nico says rolling his eyes and still laughing. I don't know what's so funny though, I wasn't listening.

"Well since we are almost there shouldn't you put the scowl back on your face?" Percy asks innocently before laughing. I can't help but laugh as well. Nico stops laughing and glares at us.

"There it is! We can keep walking now!" Percy says hurrying away from Nico. I roll my eyes at his antics and follow.

Ten minutes later we have gathered everyone and Percy flashes us up to Olympus. I still can't believe he is a god I mean so much has happened this week. Kelp Head a god. Going to his island and Annabeth shunning him. Will's death. Nyx messing with Percy. Clarrise is gone. And this strange darkness. And we can't go to Where Camp Jupiter used to be. It too is covered in strange darkness. I hope we finally get some answers at this meeting.

When we arrive on Olympus we all bow, minus Percy who makes us a couple couches for us to sit on. He sits in between Nico and I and Annabeth sits on the end. She still refuses to stay near him but at times they go back to their old Percabeth selves.

I glance over at Annabeth, my little sister needs to get over herself and get back with my brother even if he is a god. Wait, Annabeth is my sister and Percy is my brother. Nope that is only figuratively. In reality they are uncle and niece... I don't know which is worse.

I am pulled out of my strange thoughts when Athena begins to speak.

"I believe I know who the second evil is. Nyx is the first one as we know," She says nodding in Percy's direction and I notice as Apollo stiffens.

"Then the darkness surrounded camp. I believe the second evil is none other than Nyx's husband, Erebus. Primordial of Darkness and the Mist. As for the third I am still unsure. But if I am correct we have to evacuate camp. There darkness covers making it seem like night," Athena finishes a grim look on her face. Everyone looks at eachother before the yelling begins.

"Where will we go?"

"Leave the only safe place!"

I stare shocked at the wisdom goddess and everyone else shouts.

"Enough!" Zeus thunders. Yes thunders, my dad is a drama queen for a reason. Everyone silences.

"Are you positive daughter?" He asks Athena. She nods slowly.

"Where will we send them?" Apollo asks worry in his voice.

"We could build another camp?" Demeter suggests. The gods throw around more ideas.

"What about a place that doesn't quite exist?" Percy asks loudly. All eyes turn to him.

"What do you mean?" Athena asks. Percy doesn't answer and looks off to the side.

"Fates?" He asks. My eyes widen at the sight of the three women. I didn't know they were there. "Couldn't you make it bigger? And place Camp there? It would be hard to get to if you are the only way to get out," He says. It takes me a minute to realize what he is taking about, his island. I smile.

"Wow your smarter than you used to be Kelp Head," I say ruffling his hair. He huffs and swats my hand away. He turns back to the Fates. After a moment Lachesis says.

"It will take a while. Perseus you must help."

"In the mean time let the Campers know of your leaving. And gather those who have gone home," Atropos adds looking at us.

"It is settled. When it is done we send Perseus and he will bring everyone to Olympus. We bring you to the island."

"So we won't know where they are?" Athena asks.

"We shall tell who we decide," Atropos says.

"May we just know the name of the island?"

(A/N any ideas for the islands name? I can't pick.)

"That is not important right now. We must begin if we want to evacuate by sunset tomorrow," Lachesis says.

"Then let's start," Percy says walking over to them.

Hola!

Sorry this one took a while (compared to the others) I had to figure out exactly what I wanted to do next.

So... there is no need to kill me or send someone else to do it *cough* @Warrior_of_Chaos *cough*

Also please read my weird PJO/HOO one- shot 'Don't Leave The Boys Home Alone'.

Bye!
