Chasing Aegaeon: A Percy Jackson And The Mortal Instruments Crossover

Clary POV~ The Threat

     A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was suffering writers block and then got really really busy with school and stuff so I was unable to update. But, I am back now, and I have hopefully improved my writing. So, let's continue!

      I was pacing up and down my bedroom. I had just called Alec, Izzy and Simon to Jace's bedroom that I shared with him. I was terrified, I had some terrible news to deliver and I wasn't sure how they would make it. Jace already knew, of course, so he was trying to calm me down.

     "Clary, By the Angel! Calm down, and just tell us what you wanted to tell us," Jace said.

    "You're right," I struggled to find a way to ease into the conversation, "Calypso threatened to kill everyone I loved unless we stopped the quest to find A." So much for easing into the conversation.

    "What the actually fuck? When I find that bitch-"Simon yelled in rage. Izzy tackled him into a hug to calm him down.

    Alec was silently shaking. His fists were  clenched. During the adventures we had shared, Alex had become my brother. I could see the veins in his forehead popping in frustration. 

    I was sweating with nerves, I honestly would've rather she threatened my life. The thing I hate most is when I am the cause of the deaths of the people I love most. When Simon lost his powers  to Asmodeus, I felt like the whole world came crashing down on me. It was my fault we were even in Hell with Simon. If I hadn't dragged him into the whole Shadowhunter thing, we wouldn't have been there with him. 

     "Clary, I know what you're thinking. We will stop Calypso, but we might have to break it to the others in order to help us win this war." Jace said. My emotions must have shone on my face. I wanted to curl up into a ball and block out the world. I knew breaking the news to the others was the best idea, but I was scared. Leo wouldn't believe me, Jason and Piper were Leo's best friends, so they were unlikely to believe me, and Percy and Annabeth may be a little more rational, but it's not like I had any proof that Calypso actually did threaten me.

    Jace pulled me onto his lap, and slowly rocked me back and forth to calm me down. I started sobbing quietly into his shirt. Alex walked over to us and pulled both of us into a hug. Slowly, Izzy and Simon also walked over and took part in our group hug. We held each other for what seemed like hours.

   "We need to find a way to prove that Clary's telling the truth," Alec said.

   "Yeah, and I think I know a way," said Izzy, "Piper can do this thing, it's called charmspeak. She can will someone to do whatever she pleases. We could ask her to charmspeak Clary into telling the truth about this situation."

    "That is a great idea Iz!" I exclaimed. I sighed with relief, we had a plan which made me feel better.

     The next day, I pulled Piper aside and told her to meet me in my room after we ate. Leo made us the most delicious pancakes ever. For some reason, Percy's were blue, but I figured it was better not to ask. Diligently, right after breakfast, Piper came to my room to talk. When she entered, her eyes widened. All of my Nephilim friends were there with me. 

   "Am I being interrogated?" She asked nervously. 

    "No not at all, we just want a favor from you," I said. I proceeded to tell her about Calypso and her threats. As I predicted, I saw disbelief written on her face. Then, I proceeded to tell her about our plan of her using charmspeak. Reluctantly, she agreed, and started speaking to me in a sugary sweet voice. 

     Suddenly, I felt a wave of drowsiness wash over me. Everything went hazy, and my eyes glazed over. I faintly heard some mumbling, and I think I was talking, but I couldn't say for sure. Just as suddenly as it started, it stopped. I felt alert, and my shadowhunter senses were on all the way. 

    "Did it work?" I asked.

    "Oh yeah, it worked," Piper said, her eyes wide. 

     "Piper, how do you propose we tell the others?" Alec asked, biting his nails.

      "I think we should tell Percy and Annabeth first, I can break it to Jason, and we should hold off of telling Leo," Piper replied, looking worried.

      That night, Percy and Annabeth were invited to my room. I was pacing the floor, when I heard the door knock. I walked over in four long strides, and opened the door.

     "Hey guys! Thanks for coming, I need to talk to you," I said, ushering them in.

     "Yeah, for sure, what's up?" Percy asked, as they settled on my bed.

    I told them all about the threats, and the charmspeak. Both of their faces showed various ranges of emotions. It started off as disbelief, then went into confusion, then anger. Percy looked especially angry, which made me wonder if he had problems with Calypso. I didn't dwell on it though, because I was really relieved that they believed me. I wondered if Piper succeeded in telling Jason. Now, the struggle would be to tell Leo, without having our heads being burned off.
