Chapter 23 ~ Percy

Chapter 23

Percy

Luckily we only have a few wounded. But they're determined to get back into action for Annabeth. They want their revenge. I gave a thin smile at their eagerness. If anything some might not come back..... Thats what getting me so down (also the fact that Annabeth is in surgery right now) so many faces won't be with us and its upsetting. As i walked down the tents checking up on everyone Thalia pulled me aside.

"Percy..... We're out numbered.... Who are we gonna be able to do this?" She looked worried. I just looked at her.

"Thalia we defeated Kronos with less than 100 campers! We were horribly outnumbered but we still beat them! We done it then we can do it now!" I strode off, leaving her in the dust. I saw Chiron with Bella and they were talking. I walked over to them. I Still wasn't too sure on Bella. It was a week ago she tried killing Annabeth now she wants to help the camp! Its weird.

"Percy.... Bella has some useful information on the Rogues that can be quite useful...." He trailed off and looked at Bella waiting for her to take over. She took a deep breath.

"I'll tell you but not here.... We need somewhere private." I nodded and gestured her to follow.

We walked to my tent. Chiron doesn't follow as he had other matters to attend to. I held the open out for Bella, gesturing for her to go first. She nodded in thanks and walked in, ducking to advoid knocking her head. I closed my eyes said a silent prayer and walked in. I walked in and she already made herself at home.

"Sure make your self at home....." I mumbled. She heard and her catty smile spread across her face.

"Oh i will!" She let herself fall back and sprawled on my bed. I cursed and strode towards her. Roughly i yanked her by the arm and pulled her up. She cackled.

"Relax Jackson!" She pulled her arm free. "I'm only kidding!" I took several steps back and leant against my chest of drawers. I gave her my 'one false move i will kill you!" look. I showed her no emotion, just hatred. She might be Chirons daughter..... but she doesn't know half of it.

"Start then Bella! We're planning for a war if you haven't notice!" I snapped. She turned to me, her eyes trying to intimidate me. It didn't work. "You don't scare me Bella! So don't try that! You don't deserve to be here after everything you've done! If you weren't Chirons daughter you would've been locked up somewhere if it was up to me!"

"Well its not is it Jackson!" She countered. "I don't regret what i've done! That Annie deserves it, she's a spawn of Athena! Whats so great about that!" My blood started boiling.

"You should regret it Bella! Considering Annabeth is like Chirons daughter!" This got her attention.

"She's not his daughter! I am! She's a decietful, slimmy, concieving BITCH! She can never replace me!"Her nostrils flared and the air got colder.

"I'm not here to argue who's more his daughter! Just tell me what you know!" I was getting annoyed.She inched towards me. I started getting wary and tried backing up. But i couldn't.

"stay away from me Bella....." I held my hands out to keep her at bay.

"I'm not giving you the information for free Percy...." She purred. "Just one kiss and i'll tell you everything....." I Began thinking.

"Promise......" I said all to skeptical. She nooded vigorously.

"I swear on the River Styx." There was a deep thundering sound. I nodded and let her come closer. She went on her tip toes and i tilted my head down. Just before our lips met, i tripped Bella. I pulled her arm back and grabbed a fist full of her hair. i hated doing this but she left me no choice.

"What are you doing!" She shouted trying to wriggle free. "You said-"

"No! You said you swear on the Rive Styx..... i didn't swear anything!" Thank you Hades! You actually taught me something. "You ever try and kiss me again i'll throw you out of camp personally! And leave you for the Rogues!" Her eyes went wide.

"No.... you won't! You can't! I'm a triator now! They'll kill me!" Her voice displayed panic.

"Then watch your steps..... I mean it! Now tell me what you know Bella!" She started talking. It was confusin at first. But by the end of it i had hope. We might be able to beat them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"When i call your name you will go stand by your leader! Then move to your designated area and stay there for further instructions from your leader!" I shouted across the crowd. Everyone was silent, waiting to see where they are going.

"Ok!" Chiron called. "Group one! When i call your name go stand by the Stoll brothers! Ok......." He read out a list of names. I watched as campers from both camps got up and moved off to the right to stand with the Stolls. It took ten minutes for just one group.

"Group Two go stand by Piper Mclean........" It went on like that. I listened and watched intensly. Watching as faces i know walk to their groups. I felt a pang of guilt as i watched people i don't know get up. I just wished i got to know them. I was deep in thought when i felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned and saw a deadpanned Mick sitting behind me.

"We need to talk Jackson....... Meet me in my tent at the end." I nodded. I turned to say something but he was gone. I frowned. That boy is weird......

One hour later everyone was in a group. Leading the groups was. Chris and Clarrise as one, Lacey and Reece as one, Frank and Hazel as one, Leo and Reyna together, Piper on her own, Jason on his own, the Stolls together and Katie on her own. All eight groups had about eighty campers some might have more. All in all everyone was in a group. Nico, me and Thalia don't have a group, as we're children of the Big Three we're leading. Jason didn't want to lead and neither did Hazel so they became a battalion leader. I turned to Nico and Thalia.

"I'll be ten minutes i just need to check on something." They nodded and carried on talking. I walked right to the otherside of camp, trying to remember which one was Micks. I felt a hand on my collar and roughly pulled me back.

"You alone?" Mick's gruff voice whispered. I nodded. I turned and looked at Mick. In one week he's changed. His short brown buzz cut was now hanging by his ears. He had a few scratches from the brawl he had with a few rogues. But most of all his brown eyes seemed vacent.

"Dude..... you ok?" Its weird but i do care. He nodded.

"So much pain..... everyone is innocent......" He sighed. "Anyways..... I've been snooping."

"Where exactly?" This boy is very mysterious.

"Around the Rogue camps..... I've found a way to defeat them and not risk any lives Percy." I was abit outstanded. One because he found a way to fight but not risk lives, and two its the first time he's called me Percy and not mean it in a harsh way.

"I'm actually curious.... so how?" I sat down, resting my elbows on my knees and leaning forward.

"How what?" I rolled my eyes.

"How did you find this out and how can we go about it?" I said intrigued. He looked at me dumbfounded.

"Your actually willing to help..... even if it means risking your life?" I nodded.

"Anything to keep my camp and the ones i love out of harms way then i'm all up for it! Heck at this point i'll turn cannibalism if it keeps them safe!" Mick let out a soft laugh.

"You cannot tell anyone else.... this will stay between the two of us and no one must know we're going to the rogue camp ok?" I nodded, serious face on. "Ok..... Before they captured Annabeth i was already there looking for weak points in the camp. I've been there for years and i've only just found the weak point."

"Which is where?" Our voices where still in hushed whispers. Even though everyone was on the otherside of camp, we need to still be careful.

"In the heart of the camp is their power supply." I just stared at him, confused. "For those of them have have powers it gives them a chance to rest and rebuild energy in seconds! We detroy that they're defenceless."

"I get the feeling that its not that simple though?" I closed my eyes waiting for bad news.

"Its not....." He grabbed a piece of A3 paper that was rolled up. He unrolled it and it showed the base of the rogues camp. "Here and here...." He pointed to two 'X' on the plan. "These are camera's. With the right equipment i can disable them from the power box here....." He pointed to a rectangle closes to me. "Here, here and here........" Pointing to just out side the plan. "Is were one rogue is stationed. By the exits there will be a group of them, monitoring who comes in and out. They aren't the problem the problem is theres guards every five meters. We need to get past them to get into the camp......" It went on for a few hours when the conch horn sounded for lunch.

"After lunch get some rest..... we'll head out two hours after dark."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After a amazing lunch i went back to my tent and rest. I lay awake for a while. But after a while i felt my eye lids get heavier and i started drifting off into a sleep. Where i had the weirdest dream.

I woke up and found myself in a desert. What i was doing here i don't know. Then i realized it wasn't a desert i was layed out side the Parthenon. I got up and looked around. No one was anywhere...... that was until i heard marching.

I turned and my heart dropped. Spreading out before me has got to be the most massive army of rogue demi gods i've ever seen. Thousands, were marching towards me. I remembered i was in a dreamwhen they didn't shoot me. I turned my back and stared at the Parthenon. Something or some one was inside there. What ever it was it must be important. As if i commanded it i was suddenly inside.

No sooner than i was in there, i felt power. Not just any power, this type was speciel and ancient. I turned in a full circle and stopped when i saw what it was. It was a bow.... not just any bow this one seemed different. The person holding it had their back to me. They pulled the string back and a arrow made of light formed. I stared in awe at this magnificant weapon. The person holding the weapon turned round.

Standing there infron of me was the person i least expected. She held the bow with such ease and care, like she's always been able to do it. Then she started talking.

"Their going to be here soon..... and when they are i won't be and the Epirus Bow will be with us....." The building started to shake.

I bolted up right. Standing infront of me was Grover. He looked worried. He's grown since the last time i saw him. But no matter what he's still my G-man.

"Grover?" I rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

"Hey Percy....." I got up and we hugged. I looked at him with a serious expression.

"Grover..... have you heard of the Epirus Bow?"
