Percy's POV

I am so mad! At the fates! At my life! We finally settled down and now our lives are yet again put at risk, now our kids' life's are at risk! I clench my fists; my nickels turn white. Blood drips from my palms, from where my nails cut my skin. 'breath in, breath out' I tell myself as I feel a panic attack coming on. The last time I had one was a month after Tartarus, bad memories started to cloud my mind.

Annabeth took my other hands that she wasn't already holding. My vision started to clear and after a while I start to calm down, I then realised everyone was staring at me worried, apparently, I didn't hide my fear and anger as well as I thought I did.

Panting I ask "what did it say? The prophecy?". Surprisingly it was Grover who started to recite the prophecy. After he finished, I stare at my feet, the words repeating in my mind.

Too shocked to speak I look to Annabeth, she thought for a while before speaking up. She looks at me "This could be about us, but It could also be about the kids". I think for a moment before panic kicks in. "what are we going to do?" I say ignoring our visitors, my mind on my kids and my kids alone.

Annabeth looks sad but determent "we tell them". "WHAT! Annabeth, we wanted to give them a normal life!" Annabeth's looks into my eyes, storm meats ocean. "it's the only option. You and I both knew they wouldn't have a normal life. We knew the past would catch up to us eventually". I knew she was right.

I look to Grover "what do you think we should do G-man?". Grover looks at me surprised of what I was asking him. "I-I think it's really up to you Perce. But I think to keep them safe you should tell them.  We could bring them to camp to keep them safe." Grover had a point.

I slowly stood up and walked to the bottom of the stairs. "Lucas! Sunday! Can you come down here?" I yell up. I hear footsteps before they both step out of their rooms. My ADHA starts to act up and my hand start fiddling. As they came down the stairs, they looked confused, and I don't blame them, its not every day three beat-up strangers come to their house.

I sat them down in-between Annie and I. Sunday looks over to where Nico, Will and Grover were seated. Lucas noticing her discomfort spoke, "so are you going to tell us who they are?". He looks expectedly between me and Annabeth.

"um these guys are some of our old uh friends from America" Annabeth said. Will stuck out his hand in Luke's direction "I'm Will" he said smiling. Luke grabbed his hand and shook it hesitantly "Lucas Jackson, you can call me Luke". They all seemed slightly shocked by his first and last name, especially Grover.

Luke didn't notice and continued "And that is Sunday, my sister." he said jabbing a finger in Sunday's direction. Sunday was looking nervously at her hands, fiddling with the ring Annabeth and I got her. Nico introduced himself and then Grover.

"so why are they here?" Sunday said quietly, she doesn't really like strangers. "They are here to take us to America for a bit" Annabeth said gently. "WHAT! REALLY?" Lucas said excitedly. "Why!" Sunday said suddenly alert. "Well you see your mother and I had a... rough childhood, and we made many powerful people angry and..." Annabeth stopped distracted by memories.

"you see your mother and I are..." BANG! Suddenly I was on the floor, stars danced in my vision. After the dust cleared, I noticed the living room wall hand a giant hole in it and standing right in the middle of it was... you guessed it! The Minitour! Yay!

Quickly I pulled out my trustily pen from my pocket, quickly uncapped it and there stood my celestial bronze sword, Riptide. I charged, the monitor roared. I leaped forwards and slashed at his legs. I managed to get a hit, suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my leg.

I am really out of practice is all I can think as I look down at my cut leg. The minitour had cut it with his axe. Behind me I heard a yell, as Annabeth charged at beef brains. Together we were a wurlwind of bronze and bone sword. Slashing at the monster that had just destroyed our living room.

I had forgotten how beautiful Annabeth was when she fought, her eyes filled with determination hair flying. After a while I made the final blow to his heart the monitor had fallen and crumbled to dust. We walked back into the house.

"well, well, well. If it isn't the great Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase" we both slowly turn around to see a familiar face standing in the ruble of our house. "Kelli" I say my tone, sharp and serious. "Oh, Percy still as charming as ever." Kelli purred. I hear a yelp and look to where Annabeth was sanding. Now she was further away, a knife held to her neck.

"let her go!" I yell glaring right at the Empousa. "Percy that is only the least of you problems" Kelli said and three more Empousa came into view. One holding a dazed Luke at claw point, the other was struggling with a flighting Grover and the final one holding an unconscious Sunday.

My panic doubles when I see my kids, and tripped when I see both Will and Nico knocked out on the floor, tied by ropes.  "What do you want? Why are you here?" I ask. "Haven't you heard the prophecy?" Kelli asked. "Tartarus sent me to come and get you and miss chase here".

Why am I not surprised! "no!" is all I say. Kelli did not look surprised by my answer "oh ok in that case you are free to go... not!" she laughed "kill them" she called over her shoulder to the Empousa holding my family, and slowly walked away. "No! Stop!" I yelled in desperation. Kelli turned around slowly gesturing her Empousa to stop.

"I'll make you a deal" I say. Kelli smiled "and what is this deal of yours?" Kelli asked as if she knew this would happen. "I-ill hand myself in and come willingly. If you don't kill ANYONE in this room" I say. "That's no enough" she slowly raised her hand ready to give the kill order. When Annabeth yelled "how about Percy and I both come willingly, then would you make a deal?". "It's a deal" Kelli smiled. "Annabeth you can't..." before I could finish my sentence there was a huge pain in the back of my head and the world when black...
