Gaea's curse By NewWorldFiction

Chapter 6

When Percy woke up, he found a familiar mop of brown hair in his face. Shifting himself he looked beyond Katniss and noticed that the sun was poised high in the sky.

We must have fallen asleep.

For a while, Percy sat there, savoring the moment as he knew that there would be a hectic argument over Katniss' actions. However, as he took in his surroundings he noticed something, in fact a multitude of things: There was no forest canopy over them, there was a mess of charred objects from sort of blast, and to top it off there was a hover ship right over them.

"Katniss!" Percy jumped to his feet, a Riptide uncapped in its full glory.

Katniss followed in a dazed groggy scamper to her feet. "Wha..."

She stopped when she noticed where she was: The cornucopia. That means...

"Percy run!" Katniss screeched as the hovercraft's claw dived down and nearly missed the son of Poseidon. Quickly Percy took off, Katniss alongside him, into the thick forest. The hovercraft Pursued.

"Where are we!" Percy yelled as he leaped over a fallen log.

"Where in the Hunger games!"

"Wait! What! How!?"

"I don't know I-"

The hovercraft suddenly released a stream of bullets over them, the demigods heads snapped down, and they dived for cover.

Scampering behind a large boulder Percy shouted over the rat-tat-rat of the hovercraft's machine guns, "Is there any water here!"

"Yes a lake!" Katniss replied from underneath a dirt ridge.

"Which way!?"

"To the north, back the way we came!"

"Well in that case I have a crazy plan! Hold your breath!"

Katniss never got to question him as the rumble of hundreds of millions of gallons of water came over them in a massive wave and ultimately crashed into the low hovering Capitol craft. Destroyed and crumbled, the hovercraft unceremoniously descended into the ground.

"How did you..?" Katniss questioned as she crawled out of her spot.

"Son of Poseidon, remember?" Percy answered with a tired grin.

"Oh yeah..."

"Ha now how the hell do we get out of here... Well centaur's crap." Percy cursed.

"What?"

"Look." Percy pointed to the horizon as a series of ripples in the arena's force field expanded and a dozen hover craft entered the arena.

"Can you use the lake again?" Katniss asked panicked.

"I think there's no lake anymore."

In seconds the hovercraft were upon them, but unlike the hovercraft before, a craft made for the arena, he's were meant for one thing: War.

"Well it was nice know knowing you. See you in the Underworld." Percy said casually.

"How can you say that!" Katniss growled. They were going to die and he was saying cliche lines!?

"Well their craft have cooling systems... Made of water." Percy grinned as he lifted his arm and quickly slashed down to his side. The hovercraft reacted by being pulled to their since and into the ground; each one erupted into a ball of flame.

Percy once again grinned. "I-"

He was cut off by a unearthly voice. Well actually, a very earthly voice, just not a humanly voice.

Ha! This is the only beginning!

"Uh what's going on?" Katniss backed up as the ground began to shake.

"Gaea..." Percy growled.

This is my world. The ground began to crack.

What do you mortals call it... Ah yes, a dreamland. And this is my dream, but it is very much real.

A large fissure sprouted underneath the two demigods, splitting them apart.

You see, I'll cut to the chase. I cursed you and your gods and guess what it was?

"I thought you said you were cutting to the chase?" Percy asked as he paced around the ever growing crevice, looking for a way to get to Katniss.

You should know we immortals aren't as short-lived as you mortals! We can continue conversation off eons!

"Yeah yeah! Mother Earth bitch lady loves to gossip on everyone forever!"

You annoy me... But for once you can't do anything so I shall let you pass judgement for that... You see demigod scum, my curse was quite simple: all demigods that will be born and have not yet been claimed, no matter what period of time, thank my son Kronos for that, will become the populous of my dream. Every being here is a demigod from every era! And next time we rise your puny gods won't have their bastards of children to stand in our way!

"So... What if the people rise up?" Percy as quite shocked.

"I own them child of Poseidon! As much as I own this Katniss girl..."

"So who is Katniss parent! Who'd she get back to the real world!" Percy questioned.

There are some kinks to figure out... Bit in till then... You have to figure out who Katniss is. In believe you will quite enjoy the answer. Now wake up demigod, I will enjoy your pathetic attempt to stop me!

Percy woke up to the eyes of multiple people: Hunters and Campers alike.

"What happened? Where's Katniss? Where-" Percy was cut off from his rack of questions by Chiron.

"Katniss is safe. It's what happened to you guys that were trying to figure out."

Percy looked at the old centaur, "what happened."

"Well the hunter lily said you and Katniss were acting a disgusting act, which I have confirmed you were simply comforting Katniss, when you both fell unconscious. No reason at all. Why is that Percy? Do you know?"

Percy stared at him with wild eyes, "we have a very large problem Chiron. A very large problem."
