How the Sky fell for the Sea

Things get closer...

A/N - Hey peeps! It's about time I updated again, for a while I wasn't actually quite sure where I was going with this story but inspiration struck and I now have a new flow. To anyone who is reading this story even though I took a long time to update - thank you! I'm not sure when I'll update again but hopefully it wont be as long as before.

I'll start doing dedications and shout-outs again next chapter. Enjoy!

"I'm not so sure about this anymore." Percy whispered, whether it was to himself or to the vampire by his side he didn't know. Percy had had a plan. His tantrum had left him angry and inspiration had struck. Revenge. That's what he'd wanted, only now he wasn't so sure. It wasn't him. It wasn't in his nature. But then he remembered what the redheaded warlock had said as she turned up at his door in a hurry. 'Just trust me', 'I'll talk to the others later but we have to act now'. Rachel barely had time to explain to Tyson before Percy invited Octavian over to their house.

By now they were far enough from his house that they were nearing camp borders; if they walked any further nobody would hear the screams. Octavian's screams or his own, Percy didn't know. He didn't know why he was whispering, perhaps it was his common sense warning him of the nearby danger. He'd known of the danger before he'd left; he wasn't stupid. It's just now...now I'm wondering if it really is worth the risk. I know Octavian doesn't actually have a cure, but that doesn't mean he can't help me get it. I just hope Rachel knew what she was talking about.

"Nonsense!" Octavian huffed, "I promise you, the cure for your mate is just through there." That's a lie. Percy knew it.

Though Percy was aware of Octavian's deceit, he missed the way Octavian's lips curled into a sinister smile; he missed the way Octavian spat in disgust when talking about Percy's mate; he also missed the foot Octavian casually placed in Percy's way causing him to trip and fall. Yelping in distress, Percy tumbled through the forest until he came to a halt at the foot of a desolate castle. His head hurt; His legs hurt; His whole body hurt.

"Percy, you know, I didn't really want to do this. Yes, I hated working for that disgusting excuse of a werewolf, Kronos, but at least he had the right idea. Power. Immortality. I have both of those things yet I don't have the respect nor the blind loyalty those filthy mutts seem to have for their Alpha, Jason Grace. You wolves have lived in peace for far too long, it's about time that they lose something dear to them. And no, I won't be taking your memories Percy Castellan-Jackson, I'll be taking your life."

We'll see about that. Percy let loose a yell that held all his heartbreak, anger, determination and swept Octavian's feet from underneath him. Unfortunately, vampire speed made him quick to recover and Octavian launched himself at Percy. Percy saw the attack coming and shifted into his wolf, blocking the first fist while dodging the second in one fluid motion. I'm not just a useless omega Octavian. Vampire vs Werewolf, lets see who wins.

"Are you sure this was a good idea Rach?" Hazel asked.

"Of course," Rachel answered as she helped remove the strong glamour from Tyson's face, "besides, the plan went without a hitch."

"We just need to hope that everything goes well on Percy's end." Hazel concluded, smiling hopefully at her mate. Frank grinned back pulling his girlfriend closer to him; things were starting to look up.

"Well done," Rachel grinned, her attention turning back to Tyson, "You held your glamour so well!"

"A little to well." Leo grumbled from across the room.

Piper laughed, "You're just saying that because you got scared when you thought it was real!"

"Hey!" Leo defended quickly, "You believed it too!"

"That's called acting numpty," Piper giggled, "Besides, I wanted to see how you'd react."

Leo huffed indignantly but smiled upon looking at his brother. "I'm so proud of you little guy." He said to Tyson.

"Thanks big bro! Are you going to tell Ella what a brave boy I was?" Tyson asked eagerly.

"Sure Ty." Leo laughed and watched as his brother ran off to where May and Ella sat with an array of arts and crafts on the kitchen table. May hadn't exactly liked the plan but she'd agreed to go along with it provided she was able to look after her other children.

"Okay everyone, listen up!" Reyna announced as she walked in the room closely followed by Annabeth. "You all know your jobs, although most of them have been completed by now. All the innocents from the Titan pack seem to be settling in nicely - even the fae and vampires seem to be getting along with our own pack members. We were worrying for nothing. As to the other matter at hand, well, Hera is with Jason at the infirmary. Nico and Will are also there as well because just a few a hours ago Will went into labour."

"Wow, congratulations to them!"

"To think of it, Nico and Will as parents!

"The pups are going to be so cute!"

"I'm sure they will be," Reyna smiled, "So Nico clearly won't be back for a while but that's okay. Everything else should be sorted. Hazel and Rachel have been working together to prepare the potion for when Percy gets back with the final ingredient. How are you girls doing with that?"

"All is good," Rachel answered, "but to be honest the base of the potion is really simple, the thing that is actually going to give Jason back his memories is the ingredient Percy is bringing."

"He left just over an hour ago, how far away is it?" Piper questioned.

"Remember," reminded Frank, "Percy doesn't actually need to go to a specific place, he just said that so Octavian wouldn't be so suspicious. All he needs is to do the deed."

"Do you really think he'd do it? Kill Octavian?" Hazel asked. "Something like this is so unlike him."

"It has to be in order to work for the potion," Rachel mentioned, "The whole main ingredient is the evidence of an act that goes against ones very nature. It could be anything a tear, a hair, a drop of-"

"Blood?" Annabeth filled in.

"Yeah, blood." Rachel said grimly.

"So do we know when Percy will come back?"

"No," Reyna replied, "I don't know...I don't know."
