Chapter Three

Gods and Magicians

Saying the gods were mad was an understatement they were furious. "HOW DARE YOU! SHE IS MY DAUGHTER!" Athena cried, not believing a thing this guy says, "yes, well I am proud of you," we hear aphrodite say through the iris message and David's face lights up. "I am getting bullied by other demigods HELP ME!" He pleads but the gods giggle and laugh their heads off. David starts to whine.

As Hermes wipes his tears he says, "my son-" he stopped himself trying to figure out what to say, "you're new to this aren't you?" he asked my friend. David knitted his eyebrows, "I-I guess so.." trailing off At the end he sees Hestia, goddess of the hearth, she waves at him. "Huh?" He says out loud. Apollo sees this and asks if he's okay but he simply sneaks away and hides out somewhere. "Where is he going?" Athena questions to no one in particular. "Why do you care?" Poseidon teases. My mum's head snaps toward him and calls out, "well, because I want to know what his problem is."

"But he is my son! There is nothing wrong with him," Aphrodite says offended. I had enough of this so I enter the room and all their faces lit up. "MY DAUGHTER!" The goddess calls out, "MY blessed hero!" Poseidon roared along with Apollo also being happy to see me. I glared at my mum. "Is there something wrong?" she asked. "yes," I say through gritted teeth. "Then what is it?" Ares asks. I just had enough. "You insulted my friend." I say poorly.

"But he's a boy," she says, dragging out the boy, "yeah, he is. And your daughter is dating a child of Poseidon," I shoot back. Athena rolls her eyes, "don't remind me," she commanded. I scoff and leave. But in my head I hear his voice saying; "haha you will never find me!" In a teasing way. "Okay, do you want me to get the marauders?" I ask harshly. "Who?" He asks. ........... You just got hades house. I think

I found him With my wand and I called out, "loves!" Then in a second my four friends appear. "Hey," James greeted. "What's up," Black said. ".... bye," Peter muttered. "He should die now," Remus suggested. "No, no, no, no, no, NO," David cried while begging for his life, "Please, I was trying to escape my relatives. REEEEEE." I sigh, "okay then-" I turn to Sirius, "- the serum." Sirius takes out a bottle and makes David drink the liquid serum inside. "WHYYYYYY????????!!!!!!!" He yells. James comes forward and asks him, "where were you last week?"

"I-I was working for....for..." Then suddenly he snaps out of it. "Nope," I say. I make him drink the full bottle. Afterwards, I turn to Remus And nod to him. "Where were you last week?" He asks sternly. "I was trying t-to.." I pressure him to go on. "Yes?" I command. "..Awaken the..." He rolls off at the end but it hits me, "the titans,'' I whisper, not wanting to believe it. I shake my head. "NO," he yells. "STOP!" I take out my wand, "I hate you." "I AINT SAYING ANOTHER WORD, BUT IT AIN'T THE TITANS!" He screams. I get a little sad, "I'm sorry but if you don't tell me, I-I'M gonna have to kill you." He gets scared and yells, "YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME!" I get a bit mad, "THEN TELL ME YOU TRAITOR!" I scream. His eyes light up.

"IT'S SOMETHING STRONGER!" He shouts with fear in his voice. Sirius grabs my arm, "Nat come here." I turned toward him, "no, Black." He looked at me with sad eyes and it pained me to do it but I had to, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" And with that David dropped dead. I sob and drop to the ground "he was a-a traitor," I say between my sobs. James comes toward me and pulls my chin so I'm eye level with him. "I'm sorry,'' He says comfortingly. The other two hug me and I start sobbing even more.

Nico then comes out with the others, "hey-" he stops talking when he sees the dead body, Nico rushes forward and hugs me, then I feel more arms around me meaning that everyone else is also hugging me. Then, from nowhere, we all hear a voice in the room. "That person wasn't the real me you killed...." The voice muttered, echoing throughout the walls. I look up and see an image of David in the air. "He was an imposter of me trying to convince you not to head into the danger of something terrifying." I'm shocked. "W-WHAT?" I cried, "DAVID?? Tell me what's going on. Please.." "I will tell you where I am," He breathed. "WHERE?? TELL ME PLEASE." I pleaded, worrying about my friend. "I- I am- in...--NOOO----" "NOOOOOO DAVID!" I sobbed as the Iris message disappeared inconveniently, running out of time to talk.

"We'll find him," Nico comforted me. "How?" I will fight back.... I mean... I JUST KILLED SOMEONE-wait it's Nico. "Shadow travel," he says, blocking my thoughts. "NO!" I scream. I couldn't afford to lose two people today. "yes," he says it in a way that you would feel sorry about him. "Nico... you could die," I say as he nods his head while saying, "yeah well, if it stops the world from dying then maybe it's worth it." Then it was Annabeth's turn to feel sorry for him. "Is it?" Then James being James questioned, "hold on.. Who are you?" I shake the question off because we've got other things to focus on. "That's not important..... Let's just get some rest." Everyone agrees and nods, and as everyone is walking back I whisper, "where are you David?"
