Chapter 2: The War; Part 2

Annabeth P.O.V.

As I ran off to join my other friends I knew already that I was never going to make it. As I was sprinting I noticed Nico meet my gaze. I must of looked weak with desperation written clearly on my face.

However hopeless I know it is part of the way is better than nothing. I'm running whilst fending for myself, blocking, slashing, twisting and stabbing away all those who are in my path. I let my body go into a sort of auto-pilot as I began to make my movements automatically.

"I could do it." I thought.

"I could really do it." I repeated, only stronger this time with more confidence. I started to fight with new found energy. Eventually I realised that the army of monsters had me cornered. I had two options.

A) Jump off the cliff and into the water below, risking death by rocks or Polyphyrion, Giant of the Sea. Certain death.

B) Face Gaia's Army alone get cut off from the others. Possible death and torture.

"Option B it is then" I decided in my head before getting into a stance ready to face the monsters. As I did this monsters had already charged, determination now mixed into their usually cold and hateful eyes.

Swiping in an arc at the first line of monsters I cut through all but two, obviously catching with surprise. One Hellhound and a Venti were the only ones in the front row to survive.

I sidestepped as the Hellhound pounced, then stabbed it's now exposed back disintegrating it almost immediately. I then kicked the dust off the ledge and then whipped around only to meet a fist to the face and then be disarmed.

"Your luck is up puny demigod. You are unarmed and cornered. You are dead." The Venti said whilst tossing my knife into the army behind him. Just as he finished saying this, a small spark went off behind the small army that had broken off from the others to come after me.

Instinctively I closed my eyes and then heard a Whoop-BANG.

"There here." I thought.

Thalia P.O.V.

I'm Thalia, Daughter of Zeus the King of the Gods and Lieutenant of The Hunters of Artemis

I was feeling two emotions very strongly right now. Among other things, Nervousness and Frustration washed over me, not allowing me to think of anything else.

I knew about the Second Giant War that was currently going on right now on another part of the globe. I was Nervous because I had friends fighting in that war and I couldn't stand it if they got hurt. As well as this, they are fighting for the fate of the world. I was Frustrated because I, along with everybody else who wanted to help, couldn't even watch due to the Ancient Rules about not interfering with the prophecies.

Right now I'm inside the training area for Archery, bow in hand and trying to take my anger out on the targets set up all around me.

"Stupid Ancient Laws." I , Bulls-eye.

"Stupid Gaia." Bang, split arrow.

"Stupid Quests." Bang, Bulls-eye.

"Stupid Giants." Bang, split arrow.

"Stupid monsters." Bang, Bulls-eye.

"Stupid-" I was brought out of my thoughts by a sudden spark given off to my right. On an instinct I turned away and closed my eyes. When looked back I saw none other than Artemis Goddess of Virginity, The Moon and The Hunt.

When I saw her I smiled hoping for some good news about the battle everyone knew they were watching. She turned to me and I saw worry in her eyes before she noticed me and it disappeared immediately making me wonder if it had really been there at all.

"Lady Artemis, is everything alright." Artemis nodded before saying,

"All is fine Thalia, but round up the Hunters and tell them to meet me in the Dining Forum. Make haste." She told me before I turned away and she flashed out. I went on to carry out my job. As I was running I ran into Pheobe.

"Pheobe, Artemis needs us to meet in the Dining Forum and quickly, she seems to be in a hurry today." I told her and watched as her face morphed into one of sympathy and care.

'Well I do hope everything is all right. OK, I'll head down and tell anyone I see on my way." She told me.

"K. thanks Pheobe. See 'ya." I called out to her once more before running off to find the others.

(Time Break)

Five minutes later all the Hunters had been gathered and moved into the Dining Forum from all of their previous activities, such as hunting, sharpening knives and arrow points, laundry, resting and wrestling (daughters of Ares).

As everybody finally settled down Artemis stood behind the podium used for all announcements. I noticed once again that, though she tried to hide it (and hid it well I might add) worry and fright were evident in her eyes.

"Thank you everyone for gathering so quickly. The news I'm about to share I share with a heavy heart as the danger is high. We must aid in the fight against Gaia. We have been ordered by my father Zeus to help the other demigod's against Gaia and her kin."

"Does that mean that the Camps will be helping as well?" I asked hoping that we will be able to give more reinforcements than15 immortal teen girls with bows, no matter how skilled we are.

"No they still cannot. Father fears that a consequence to high will be dealt if we had them help. He believes that the Gods, apart from me, are the only ones breaking this rule as you girls, like myself, are not bound to the Ancient Laws like they are. However even one of the Camps is far too risky."

There were murmurs of agreement as well as some of my sisters saying stuff like;

"Wouldn't want to face the wrath of the fates…" and similar stuff being said. I then took the opportunity to speak up.

"Lady Artemis, if this is what Zeus wants us to do, to help our friends fight, then we must honour it. I think that I speak for every single one of the Hunters here when I say that it is time to make a stand. Right girls?" I called.

"Right!" They yelled back at me.

"When Zeus called on will we be remembered as the warriors who just stood and watched?"

"NO!"

"Will we make our final stands. Will we come together to rid the world of evil once more. Will we fight for freedom?!"

"Yeah" They shouted back in return to my little pep talk. Now you could describe the Hunters of Artemis as bubbling with excitement, full to the brim with courage towards what they were about to do.

"Well then girls, I thank you for your bravery as risking your live is a big task I'm asking you to do. You have done this so willingly and for that I thank you." Artemis said to us the worry had long since disappeared in her eyes, now filling them is a look of determination.

"Be back here in one minute and then be ready for war" She told us as we all ran off in a hurry to grab our weapons to help the demigods from the Prophecy of the Seven.

When everyone returned, geared up and ready to go Artemis made the final look-over to make sure everything is perfect. I quickly run over my equipment in my head;

Light Armour, ideal for Archers

Hunting Knives

Bow

Quiver filled with Arrows

Aegis

That made up the Armour and weapons that was carried into battle by the hunters, minus Aegis, my personal shield. As soon as Artemis looked over me being the last one in the line of Hunters, she gave a curt nod to us all, signalling that she approved of our equipment. Then she snapped her fingers, teleporting us to the battle grounds in Greece.

Teleporting gives off a weird feeling, as if you are being lifted off the ground, then get sucked into a worm-hole like thing that begins in your stomach, so you sort of look like you're collapsing into yourself. After that you can't breathe for a couple seconds and then it all happens again except in reverse.

This all happened in a matter of seconds and soon enough we had appeared about 4 metres away from the edge of a cliff over-looking the ocean. That was the first thing I noticed, the second thing I saw when I looked up was extremely intimidating.

Before us marched the largest Army of monsters I have ever seen. Thousands had lined up and were fighting their way towards the base of Mount Olympus. They were being held off by what I could make out only as a dragon of some kind blowing fire and causing havoc. Every now and again, you could notice something spiking up out of the ground. Above the Army air was blowing and causing a gale storm.

The third and final thing I noticed was the smaller group of monsters that had broken off from the others circling around a single demigod about 200 metres on our left.

"Lady Artemis, look, over there. One of the demigods has been cornered. Looks like a female." Pheobe yelled over to Artemis.

I continued to watch in horror as the girl was disarmed and being pushed back towards the edge of the cliff. Artemis started sprinting towards the gathering and we all followed.

I was becoming rather scared now, because the closer I got the more I couldn't help but feel like it's someone I know and the only people I know on this Quest are Percy, Jason and Annabeth.

As we got closer it was clearly obvious that this was a girl by her long hair. So if it's not Percy and if it's not Jason, that means it has to be…

"No, Annabeth." I screamed and she turned to face us, with terror clearly visible in her normally strong and confident eyes.

We had just got into firing range and immediately Artemis had her bow in hand. Then she ordered us to attack.

"Hunters of Artemis, FIRE!" This got the attention of all the monsters as their heads shot up as she yelled it. Then an entire volley of arrows shot and then another and another.

Quickly enough all the monsters in the first few rows vanished instantly. As soon as she was freed shot off to her dagger and started swiping away at monster after monster.

The monsters didn't stand a chance because of our sneak attack. Within minutes all that was left was a pile of dust and since I had my powers even the dust soon disappeared.

As soon as they all were gone I ran over towards Annabeth and engulfed her in a hug. I heard her wince ever so slightly and then took a step backwards. I noticed then that she looked feeble and weak and didn't look like she could do much more in the fight.

"Annabeth. Oh Annabeth are you alright. Of course you aren't what am I thinking. You look hor-" I started saying but was cut off by Annabeth making a smart retort.

"I may not look good, but you don't smell to great either Thal's." She said back with a smug smile on her face. For a moment I feigned a hurt and upset expression. Then we both, despite the situation, burst out laughing. Then Artemis came over and we were brought back to reality, where we were fighting for our lives and those of others as well.

"Thalia, regroup our Hunters and prepare to charge on our remaining foes. Do this and when we are ready, then I will call for the rest of the Olympians to come forward." She ordered me before walking off to prepare and scout for vantage points.

As soon as she had walked off, I turned back to Annabeth who told me that she wanted to fight.

"Are you kidding Annabeth. You are obviously extremely injured and it's easy to see that it hurts you to walk."

"But I'm-" Annabeth was about to say, before I interrupted her, rudely of course.

"No buts Annabeth. Buts are for sitting. I am your best friend and I will not let you go out into a fight like this." I told her in the strongest voice I could muster.

"No Thalia I will not step down this time-ough." Was the last thing she said before I knocked her unconscious.

"I'm so sorry Annabeth but it had to be this way." I whispered before placing her down in a secluded spot before making my way over to the already assembled hunters.

"Hunters of Artemis, attack."

And that concludes Chapter 2. Thanks for all those who have taken the time to read this.

I would like to extend another thanks to all those who have followed or favourite me or my story at some time or another.

Furthermore I would like to extend a huge thank you to the only two people who reviewed, you have no idea how good it makes me feel to receive these reviews. Erebos and PercabethWithoutADoubt, both of whom have taken the time to write a report.

However the biggest thanks I would like to give would be towards PercabethWithoutADoubt who is the only one to offer any suggestions as of story characters as I asked for in the last chapter.

Important

I need one more Bad guy and this one will be the prick to replace Percy at camp Half-Blood. This guy won't be like the usual replacements. He, for story purposes will actually be an equal match for Percy. However his behaviour, standards and character will be opposite. What are your ideas.
