Chapter 14

        Hanna's POV

        Rebekah and Aaron were late for breakfast. Rebekah's eyes were red like she'd been crying and Aaron looked like he had just won a fight. I wondered what happened.

        "What's up?" I asked Rebekah after breakfast as we walked to our morning activities.

        "He found out about my mother," She whispered. Rebekah's mother was a touchy subject for her. I had never met the woman and didn't want too. Rebekah didn't talk about her often but I knew she didn't like the gods and was trying to convice Rebekah to help defeat them.

        "Is he going to tell Chiron?" I asked worriedly. Rebekah wasn't a spy, but as soon as the camp heard about her mother she would be treated like one.

        "No, but he is trying to convice me to help them or he will tell." Her words shocked me. Aaron was on the enemy's side? 

        "Aaron is a spy?" I said only to be shushed by Rebekah.

        "Be quite. You seriously didn't guess that yet? He had a mission to get rid of Percy and he succeded." Rebekah didn't let me see her face, but I know she was still getting used to the fact that her brother was dead.

        "Well then who is this enemy we will be fighting?" I said wanting to change the subject.

        "Kronos," She whispered," there is to be a meeting in the big house soon."

        Before I could ask her how she knew this Annabeth came in to call the counselours to the big house. 

Annabeth's POV

        After breakfast one of the Chaos soldiers called a meeting and Chiron told me to summon the other counselors that had left for thier activities.

        When I had finally rounded everyone up, just as I got into the meeting room, one of the soldiers, Storm I think , started talking.

        "We are pretty certain we know who the enemy is," I know I couldn't see her face, but I swear she looked nervously at someone, I couldn't remeber his name. He was still wearing a mask though so I know it wasn't one who had revealed themselves last night.

        "Who is it?" I asked curious like always.

        "Kronos, he has gotten enough power to wake again. For some reason he is even stronger than before which is why we are here." The guy Storm had been looking at a few minutes before said. At the name of Kronos, everyone in the room erupted in questions.

        For once I was silent. I was looking at the man who had just spoken. His voice sounded familiar, but I couldn't place him. It was getting really annoying.

        Storm and a few other people tried to answer a few questions and get the room in order. I think I was the only one to notice that mystery guy had left the room. I thought about following but decided to stay and come up with a strategy to defeat Kronos.

Luke's POV

        This whole war was my fault. If I hadn't joined Chaos's army then we wouldn't be in trouble. Storm and I didn't know exactly why Kronos was stronger than last time, someone powerful must be aiding him. The million dollar question was who? Who would like to see the gods overthrown? The gods had been getting better since I died. I tried to shake the thoughts out of my head and realized I was on the beach.

        A few feet in front of me was a girl. I remembered that she had been sitting at the Poseidon table. looked like Hurricane had a new sister. Curious about if she was like Percy or Aaron I sat down beside her. She jumped when she saw me.

        "Sorry," I told her," I'm K."

        "I'm Rebekah, Is your real name K?" She asked curious. So far she didn't seem like a jerk but Hurricane said Aaron didn't at first.

        I smiled,"No, but I don't like to use my real name much, or my full code name."

        "Is it Krono?" Rebekah asked. I was surprised. How did she know my name?

        "How do you know my name?" I asked suspicious.

        "It is your name?" She then got a weird look on her face. I didn't fail to notice she hadn't answered my question.

        "You didn't answer my question. How do you know my name?"

        "I had a dream about you and a girl called Storm. You were talking about Kronos."

        " But Per- I mean Hurricane, put a protection spell over the cabin so no one could see us in a dream or iris message. How did you get pass it?" I asked truly shocked now.       

        "Who is Per?" She asked immeadiatly jumping on my mistake. Every now and then I accidentaly messed up and said people's old name. I decided to tell the truth, or at least some of it.

        "Percy, he used to be a soldier of Chaos." I said remembering Ghost talking about how Hurricane had a sister that was extreamly upset to hear of his death.

        "Is Percy still alive?" She asked excitedly. For some reason I was a little reluctant to not tell her the truth.

        "No," I lied instantly regretting it when I saw her face. 

        "My son is dead?" I turned around and saw Poseidon. He looked even worse than Rebekah. Still I didn't hesitate to tell him Percy was dead.

        I noticed he left without looking at his daughter. I could be wrong but I got the feeling they didn't have a great father-daughter realationship.

        "Hey, It's okay, He would have loved to know he had a sister," I said hoping to get her to stop crying.

        "Not a sister like me," She muttered under her breath so low I almost didn't hear it. I decided I wanted to get to know her. She seemed like she needed a friend.

        "Would you like me to tell you a story about him?" I asked.

        She looked up with a smile, she was going to be fine. Even though she would never get to meet her brother, and I could tell she had been hoping to for years.

        "Yes please," She said leaning on my shoulder. So I told her stories of missions Percy and I had gone on together, and stupid ones of times when I stole his ice cream and I had to hide until he got some more. Some times Percy acted like a little kid.

        I don't know how long we stayed on the beach, her head on my shoulder, me telling stories, when we heard someone clear their throat. Turning around we saw her brother looking very annoyed.
