Chapter 7 The Resistance

The surprising Leader

Annabeth's mind was reeling. Threre was a resitance, against the Roman Empire? Honestly it wasnt that surprising, after all this was Greece. The previous home of the best scholoars and warriors, not to mention carftsmen. She had to admit it was probably unavoidable for Greece to rebel.

What actually confused her was the revealation that one of the men let slip; A women was incharge of this whole operation. To Annabeth women were equels to men of course, that wasn't the astonishing part, the problem was, in most of the world men were held superior; so how was a women in charge of this?

While she was mulliing this over Nico spoke his mind. "Why would you inprison us right away? We haven't even done anything-in fact we're all fugitives from Rome!"

"Yea!" Hagan cut in, "What right allows you to do this? If anything we are on your side, some of us are even former slaves!"

A large man walked to the bars of the cell. "well you see," he said, "We can't verify who you are, plus the boss always says 'when someone new arrives let me interogate them before anything else, I'll decide what to do then'. So you see we are just following orders no matter how pure your intentions are."

Annabeth shared a look with Percy, "we understand-however, we must meet with this boss immediately after all we have better things to do then st around here all day…" As she did this Annabeth casually pulled out her knife and started to inspect it.

As she hoped that semmed to surprise the men, they didn't expect her to have a weapon, much less threaten them.

"I'm afraid we can't help you yet miss, the boss is on a mission collecting intelligence from the local military, it could take the whole day,"

At that very moment a few soldiers burst through the doors. "Everyone!" one of them yelled, "Shes here, look alive!" Finally Annabeth thought, now we'll get some answers. And then a women walked in.

She was tall around the height of king Zeus, with brown hair curling down to her mid-back. Her face was hard, a stern expression with a bit of boredom, but the surprising thing-Peircing grey eyes. They mirrored Annabeth's just as calculating-just as inteligent. It unnerved her, where had she seen this women before? It was somewhere in her past… But where?

Dyalan Faced Octavian. "Ok I helped you get rid of Thalia what else do you want from me?" The Pale man chuckled, "That? If I am to be emperor we need to get rid of Jason to."

"Fine, but how do I do that?" Ocatvian smiled coyly. "Ohoho, you think that you are doing this? No, no, no. I'll handle this, then maybe I'll let you go."

Dylan let out a sigh of relief as Octavian left the room. All this work for one mistake. What could he do to stop Octavian? Probably nothing, but if something comes up Dylan would be the first to take advantage of it!

Back in the throne room Zeus was annoyed. His son Jason had fled Rome. Why would he do that? Surely he knew that Zues wouldn't banish him as well, right? But he knew why, it had to do with that girl, of course it did.

Octavian entered the room. "My lord, is something wrong?" Despite his tone Zeus knew that he didn't have honest intentions, Octavian never did. He decided it was best to lie. "Of course not Octavian" he said forcing a smile "Everything is fine I was just about to call the royal gaurd to send them after Jason." Octavian smirked, "Really evrything is fine? We both know you're troubled King Zeus."

"The boy, Perseus-Hes alive and you have to pay for it. And now with Jason gone too, your bloodline will leave the throne forever I'm afraid… You know that girl she's a traitor, clearly working for the resistance. Mark her head for a price and then, Jason will be found and cn be contained. Nothing to worry about then eh?"

The women wlked past the line of soldiers. "Men we now know that princess Thalia is with the Hunters. We must use this to our advantage. Now can someone tell me who theese people are!"

"Ma'am yes Ma'am!" Another Man walked up from his place in the line. "They came from the tunnel and claim to be fugitives we put them in the cells until you arrived, what should we do with them?"

The mystery lady inspeced the prisinors. She saw the dark haired skiny boy who she knew to be the son of Hades, interesting. The boy with green eyes had an air of quiet confidence about him and she recognized him as the onewho defeated hercules. A young Brown haired boy stood about a head shorter then the rest with a look of a strong willed person. She also noticed a large young man in an old Roman military outfit, how odd. Lastly she saw a very familiar face, grey eyes her grey eyes. Blond hair and tall for her age. She couldn't be the villige was overthrown soon after she left…

She steeled her nerves. Nothing could be said until she was positives. "So… Fugitives eh? Give me your names and story of how you escaped, right away!" The blond stepped forward, "Before that what about the safety that you won't do anything, how can we be sure you aren't actually working for Rome? We need proof that whatever we say can't be used against us."

Both women stood firm, grey on grey. Glares exactly the same. The green eyed boy stepped forward as a diplomat. "How about this we tell you our story if you swear by the gods not to harm us. Then you explain who you are."

"Very well, explain." When the boy was done explaining what happened since he was captured she smiled inwardly. "Alright we 'the resistance' are an organization to take down Rome and build Greece up again. For now please follow my soldiers to your rooms"

When they all turned to leave she said something. "Not you Annabeth, I want to talk to you."
