A new enemy (Percy Jackson Fanfiction)

Aiden Luna

I'm Home. Finally! The first thing I do is go looking for Hunter. I've had a weird feeling since the quest started. I race up the stairs and literally run into a force field. I fall on the ground and can hear Amazons laughter.

"Hunter, it's working!" She yells. I still don't see him. Maybe that's the point. A few minutes later the force field lowers and I run into the hall. I look around and no one's on the floor. I decide to go downstairs and find someone to talk to. I find that all my cousins just push me aside today. I can hear people talking in the training room so I go in. No one noticed me so I decide to watch. Hunter's giving 2 kids a lesson on throwing daggers. I notice that Solisse is holding crunches. They're obviously not her's. Hunter finishes explaining and throws 7 daggers consecutively. Then I notice that they're speaking titan. He signals Solisse over and she gives him the crunches.

"Hunter!" I yell and run over to my brother. "What happened?" I ask after giving him a hug.

"I hurt my leg. Go find Amy. I'm busy." He tells me. Sadness washes over me. My own brother dosen't want me around. I go find Amazon. She's in the throne room. Every time we're here this is where she comes.

"Why is everyone so grumpy today?" I ask her as I take a seat next to her.

"Gaia's having the garden tours today witch include castle tours. Hunter's the most upset about it. He's trying to train 2 kids and doesn't want people taking pictures. Apparently ever since he got here every time he's seen someone takes a picture and he doesn't want anything to distract the kids." She tells me.

"That explains it." I tell her.

"So how was your trip?"

"Not worth it to just talk to you."

"Rude."

"Princess."

"Snob"

"Wolfy"

"Dim" she says. That hit a nerve. We sit in silence for a minute.

"What happened to Hunter?" I ask Hopefully.

"He got hurt."

"I could see that." I tell her then the doors open to show a group of tourists. They come in and start taking pictures. Amazon and I decide to leave for the training room. When we get there a knife flys just over our heads.

"I think that's enough for now. Gaia will kill me if we hurt one of the visitors." He tells the kids who run off. "Sorry about earlier Aiden. I'm just done with people caring."

"Are you ok?" I ask him. Even if he was a jerk, he's my brother.

"I will be." He says

"Can we get away from the tourists?" Amazon interrupts.

"Where can we go?" I ask them.

"Why don't we stay here? We can use magic to block the door." Hunter suggests.

About one hour into the 6 hours of tours everyone but Gaia finds refuge in the training room. We're all just talking to one another. Amazon, Hunter and I are sitting on the couch in the room and people just keep coming. Hunter's talking with Maria when something happens.

"Astrlee?" Maria asks him. Tartarus looks over then quickly comes. When I look at Hunter his eyes are glowing and now have a ring of silver at the outer edges of his irises. What's happening? Tartarus pulls him into a hug.

"No, no. They're gone." I hear Solisse say as she makes her way over. Suddenly Hunter clenches his jaw and cut start appearing. Solisse grabs his hand.

"Can we do anything?" I ask her.

"Nothing." She says solemnly. The small cuts keep appearing for a few minutes. Then a really bad cut slowly appears on his front from left shoulder to right hip, then another one makes an X. Everyone in the room has tears in their eyes. But before anyone can think Tartarus is gone with Hunter and Solisse. They're quickly followed by Amy and Maria.
