Chapter 21 - Taken
*in the morning before reading*Percy stood on the balcony his hood done, and the cloak flew in the breeze, he wasn't sure what to do, he knew he would have to show himself soon as Percy. but it was going to be hard. This book they were reading was basically just about him, Kronos and their love life. He was the hero, but he'd be forsaken.
Percy also knew that he didn't entirely care what the others thought of him, because he was immortal, sooner or later they would die, and he wouldn't.
"What is bothering you?" Kronos asked, his golden eyes staring at his lover, the titan had been standing their lost on thought for hours.
"The future, its going to be different with them knowing."
"This may have happened in out time, but it is not going to happen as it did with us, they might remember what is going on, and subconsciously change things as they go. The Fates might be all powerful, but I am not being controlled." Kronos spoke and tugged on Percy's hand. "Time for bed," he smiled and lead Percy to the big grand bed.
It was dark in the room, that Kronos and Percy where sleeping in, his hands

"I will read" Annabeth said and picked up the book, it flipped to the right page, she cleared her throat and began to read.
Annabeth had quickly realised what Hyperion was doing. He'd quickly preceded to take his sword from Leo, and then knock him out before retreating to just within the tree line - Annabeth could just see him, and didn't dare to move out of the creek. The fire was still raging, but at a more controlled pace, and she realised that Hyperion wasn't there to attack them. He was there to box them in.
"Annabeth" Zeus spoke up, his voice hard and emotionless. "Continue reading," he said and ignored the glare he got from Athena.
That thought was strengthened when Piper ran into the reasonably large clearing with Jason and Clarisse behind her, and several dozen campers following them. "Annabeth!" Piper exclaimed. "Run!"
Annabeth stopped Piper as she ran by, grabbing her arm. "Don't. Hyperion's here."
Piper's eyes widened. "What? But Koios is following us!"
"Let me guess," Annabeth said dryly. "He took your weapons?" She asked nodding at Jason and Clarisse.
Jason nodded. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure he'd have killed me if Clarisse didn't come along."
"He stole my spear," Clarisse sniffed. "The bastard." She frowned at Leo who was still unconscious. "What happened to him?"
"Hyperion punched him," Annabeth said bluntly, and then raised her voice. "EVERYONE IN THE CREEK! HE CAN'T GET YOU THERE!"
The campers all scrambled to do as she'd said, and Annabeth watched warily as Koios emerged from the trees, the sword that Jason had wielded for the last year in his hand and Clarisse's spear that used to be Lelantos' on his back. He scanned the campers briefly before nodding slightly across the clearing at Hyperion.
Annabeth sucked in a sharp breath. "They're herding us."
"What?" Clarisse asked.
"Like cattle!" cackled Krios, his eyes wide with mirth.
"Hyperion and Koios," Annabeth murmured. "They're keeping us all together. The other two will be coming soon."
As if on a signal, there was the sound of shouting and Nico ran from the trees with a group of campers, completely ignoring the two Titans on the edge of the clearing as he ran straight towards Annabeth. "It's Iapetus," Nico hissed.
