Percy Jackson: Betrayed

Chapter 9

Percy POV

Hehehe! We're flying through the night sky, towards Olympus.

Night sky? Hehehe! Reminds me of dear old Nyx!

Oh yeah! The Primordial Goddess of Night!

But the moon ruins it, don't you think?

Yeah. That reminds my of Arty. Pesky Olympian.

Just shut up for a second please!

The voices never leave me alone. They love to annoy me. They're driving me to insanity.

I look over at Nicole.

"They're back." Is all I say.

She gives me a worried look.

"Do we need to postpone the trip?" She asks.

I think about it.

What's there to think about?

Yeah! Let them see what they did to you!

You guys are actually right for once.

We're ALWAYS right!

You just don't want to admit it!

Shut up!

They laugh at me before going silent.

I sigh in relief. I finally get a moment of silence.

"Nightmare. We're almost there." Nicole says, bringing me out of my thoughts.

I just nod and speed up a little.

*On Olympus*

3rd POV

The Olympians are silent for once. They're all contemplating what Percy's return could mean.

All of them felt guilty for sending him down there, but they know that Percy will never forgive them.

They had called the camps to Olympus, but they haven't yet arrived.

No one notices the two figures, dressed in black, standing in the shadows.

"Unobservant as ever I see." A sly male voice says.

All of the Olympians shiver. That voice held mischief. That voice made you want to run and hide, lock your doors, hide everything you care about.

Seeing the Olympians reaction, both of the figures laugh. But one of the laughs sound like the laugh of a madman.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my throne room!" Zeus bellows angrily.

"You don't remember me Zeusy?" The male fakes sadness. "Oh well!" He suddenly starts giggling.

"Show yourselves!" Zeus demands.

"If you insist." The males voice echoes.

Two figures emerge from the shadows. One male and one female.

"Who are you!" Zeus demands again.

"My, my. So impatient." The male sighs.

Zeus glares at the figures.

"Very well. I am an old friend. You haven't seen me in a while. But-" the male figure was cutoff by the doors opening.

Both camps flooded into the throne room. When everyone notices the two unknown figures in the middle of the throne room, they stop.
