A new enemy (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

multiple POV's

Gaia POV

My son is scarey. He's tall and has his father's eyes. I can't believe he actually convinced me to spare so many of the demigods. We're going to have a talk when I'm done.

Percy's POV

"Where did everyone go?" I ask Annabeth.

"I don't know." She replies.

"Can you give a good guess that doesn't involve harm of any kind?" Jason asks.

"No"

Kronos' POV

How did Tartarus do that. Astrlee's rude, witty and persistent. Not to mention persuasive. Earlier he convinced me to cut myself with the dagger. I don't even remember what happened. Tartarus won't even teach us how to train the boy.

"Dosen't Tartarus' human form look a lot like Astrlee?" Krios asks me.

"Now that you say it, they do look quite similar."

Piper POV

The 7 (minus Percy Annabeth and Jason), Rena, Magnus and Thalia are all chained against the wall. It's been almost 2 days since we've woken up and the only thing to come in here was an emposa with some goop that she called food. Where is everyone else?

Astrlee POV

"What's on your neck?" Solisse asks.

"Nothing." I try to lie my way out of it.

"I saw it earlier." Molly unhelpfully adds.

"Tilt your head back a bit?" Solisse asks.

"I'd rather not." I admit.

"Why not?" Nico asks.

"Because I don't have to." I tell him.

"I'll just wait until you fall asleep to check." Solisse tells me.

Solisse POV

"Astrlee!" We hear a girl yell in excitement from down the hall. She sounds young. Lee seems happy to hear her.

"Come in Kori." He tells her. A little girl around the age of 6 comes running into the room and tackles Lee who's knocked flat on the bed where he's sitting.

"You are here!" She yells in excitement. He laughs a little.

"Yes Kori, I'm here." He tells her while sitting back up like she wasn't there at all.

"Why did you come this time?" She asks.

"The same reason as always." He tells her.

"How long are you going to stay?" She asks him.

"For a few days." He tells her.

"That's not enough time." She tells him then looks at us. "Who are these people?"

"Solisse, Molly, Nico this is my little sister Kori." He tells us.

"We didn't know you had a little sister." Molly says.

"You also didn't know I had actual parents until a few hours ago." He tells her.

"True." She admits. "That's why you disappear sometimes? Isn't it?"

"Yeah, this is my family. I can't leave them." Lee tells us.

"Mommy wants me to tell you that uncle Eros is coming for a little while." Kori tells Lee. Nico looks quite scared that he's coming.

"You should go meet him at the door." Lee tells her.

"Aren't you coming?" She asks him.

"I can't come. But you should still go." He says.

"He's scary. I'm not going if you're not." She tells him. "He's only nice to you."

"He's not that bad." Lee tells her.

"He looks like you but with green eyes and wings!" She screams in protest. That's sweet. She really loves her big brother.

"He's family, you have to be nice." He tells her. "You already got dressed up. You should put your nice dress to use." It's true. She's wearing a forest green dress that matches her eyes and her long dark brown hair is done in a braid. Her eyes have little flecks of red that matches her nail polish.

"Mommy dressed me up and told me to stay with you though."

"Ok then you can stay here." He tells her. "But when Eros comes you can't run away like last time. It took a week to find you."

"Yay!" She yells and everyone else laughs. Lee picks her up and puts her beside him on the bed. Even when they're sitting down you can tell she's significantly shorter. "You 2 are pretty." She tells Molly and I.

"Thank you. Your very pretty too." I tell her.

"Normally daughters of Nix share some of her appearance but you 2 don't." Her words take us by surprise. Lee smiles at our confusion. He's a lot happier when he's with his family.

"Kori can tell who you're parents are. Isn't that right Kori?" He asks the little girl beside him who nods then turns to him.

"Kronos and krios don't like me." She tells him.

"They don't like me either." He tells her.

"But they're your parents?"

"Not all parents are good like mom and dad." He tells her.

"But Eros likes you, so do your other parents?"

"Yes they do." He confirms her assumptions.

"So why don't kronos and krios?"

"They're different, don't worry." He tells her.

"What happened?" She asks him out of the blue pointing to his neck. She looks worried for her brother. Everyone looks to him because we all want to know the answer.

"Nothing that you should worry about." He tells her.

"Was it daddy again?" she asks him.

"You shouldn't worry." He tells her and she emidietly looks like she wasn't worried.

"You're a very observant girl, aren't you?" Nico asks.

"Yes I am." She says proudly. "How's your boyfriend?"

"How did you know that?"

"Like you said, I'm very ob-observ-observant." She struggles with the last word but gets it in the end. Nico still looks shocked. "So how is he?"

"I don't know." Nico tells her.

"Ok." She tells him. There's a knock on the door. Lee stands up with Kori who hides behind him. She doesn't even reach the bottom of his ribs. Lee turns around and crouches down to her height.

"Stay with Solisse, ok?" He tells her. She nods and comes to hide behind me as he stands up again and walks to the door.

"Astrlee, Kori? Are you in there?" A male voice asks and Nico pales even more, if that's even possible. Lee opens the door and a guy who looks exactly like him but with wings walks in followed by Tartarus.
