Cold

Ch. 3

  Annabeth's POV

I couldn't believe I'm going to have work with a psychopath that murders murderers. I get that he does help people by taking them off the streets but still it shouldn't be becoming a killer to stop a killer. It's also one thing killing a monster and a completely other by taking a mortal's life. But here I was in my cabin packing for a mission that I had to go on in three hours.

I thought back to when Zeus asked Chaos if the person was Percy Jackson, Chaos didn't answer which means he knows where Percy is. Maybe he's on another planet or maybe he's with Chaos I just know that there is no way Percy is Cold. I then continued packing and getting ready for the next three hours.

I finished packing and walked to the Big House which is where we were supposed to all meet up to be teleported to Cold's base. I was the last one there and the others didn't look to happy with me even more. I looked down at my watch and we still had ten seconds left. I just closed my eyes and counted down and before I knew it I was standing in snow and it was freezing. I opened my eyes and looked around. We were all in the middle of nowhere somewhere snowy and cold.

"I think this is Alaska." Thalia said getting a jacket on.

"Hey over there is a house maybe that's Cold's place." Leo said running for it and everyone else following.

Ten Hours Before

Percy's POV

I couldn't believe it; Chaos was making me work with her. Of all the people who could've chosen it had to be her. I know I have a picture of her in my house but that was there for me to remind myself why I do what I do.

I thought of ways I could disguise myself but decided to just screw it and have them know who I am and more importantly who I've become thanks to them. I decided to get bedrooms ready for them since they'd be staying with me. I had one room reserved for Jason and Piper because I'm not a total ass, I had another room for Leo, Nico, and Grover, and a room for Annabeth and Thalia. From what I've picked up is that Thalia hates Annabeth for what she did which gave me the perfect idea of rooming them together.

I then went down to my secret base under my house and started looking at the data that I had collected from the volcano and earthquake. I did pick up some odd essence from the earthquake and it was powerful almost like Chaos powerful. I then searched for what godly beings had that kind of power, I have a whole database of gods and mythical people/monsters. It ranged from the Norse, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians and even Chinese but they were a bit tougher to work with. Over the years I have learned that it's not just us Greeks and Romans. There are Norse gods as well and Egyptian gods as well, I have worked with both and honestly I prefer the Norse.

Anyway I searched for someone who had that much power and it narrowed my search to Chaos, Nyx, Ouranus, Odin, Loki, Buri, Apophis, and Order. I knew for one thing it wasn't Loki or Nyx because they were not a threat anymore. It also wasn't Ouranus or Apophis because they didn't have the power to rise again and do this. It definitely wasn't Buri, Odin, or Chaos so that just left Order. I clicked on Order's folder and pulled up everything I had on her. There was no photo since she could turn into anything she wanted. All I had was that she was once married to Chaos and that they brought balance but she wanted to rule with an iron fist and Chaos didn't. She started killing innocents on almost every planet Chaos had created. Eventually they had a falling out which led to a battle which led to her defeat and banishment to the Zero.

I scrolled through just to make sure I had nothing else and then my perimeter was breached. I switched to my security cameras and saw Leo running up to my house, I disarmed everything and watched everyone come up to the door. I didn't see her at first but spotted her running up behind everyone. My blood started to boil but I let it all go and opened the door.
