Past
Ash's POV
I can't believe what just happened. I stood there in shock. My Aunt Thalia had just ended her life. I stood there and watched. That's when I snapped back into reality. I saw Erin and Chris climb through a window just to fall on the ground. Chris got back to his feet quickly and walked over to us. "Has anyone seen Clarisse?" I shook my head but a girl from the group surrounding us stepped forward and said, "I'm right here." With a confused look on her face. I was confused too. She looked exactly looked exactly like Aunt Clarisse but younger. I looked to my right and saw..... the gods?
Percy's POV
I could tell everyone was confused and it confused them even more when Clarisse stepped up. Chris had ignored her. "Put your back into it!!!" I heard someone yell from inside the stone shed. "I'm trying!!!" Someone else said, angrily. It was Blaire and Clarisse. Then somebody behind the gods said softly and groggily, "What happened?" I could see Andrea and Andrew sit up. Then all the gods started crowding around them and Andrea started to scream.
Andrea's POV
I'd just woken up from this prophecy and I see a bunch of paranormal gods. Or at least I think they're paranormal. Andrew just sat there and stared while I screamed. He poked me and I shut up ready to hear what he has to say. He said, "I think they're alive." In a very hushed tone. "What makes you think that?" I wittily responded. "THEY haven't tried eating us" he said. I thought on that and realized he was right. "You okay?" One of the women asked, I think it was Aphrodite. She was beautiful. She held out a hand and I took it. "Yeah, fine" I responded. How is this possible? "I'm Aphrodite." She said, "Goddess of Love."
"Oh you're Amber's mom." Andrew said as a man with winged sandals helped him up.
"I can assure you I have many children but none by the name Amber" I was confused. Then Ash came up to me. "Hey" she said "apparently we're in the past. Like 25 years." She whispered the last part. That made sense. I looked around and realized that there were bodies, and blood, everywhere. "What happened?" I asked horrified. I had seen this in my vision. The old Camp Half-Jupiter covered with bodies. "The paranorms." Erin said, running up
"How many..." I was cut off by Erin.
"7"
"Who?"
"Cory, Zach, Amber, Frank, Thalia, Nico, and Hazel" I can't believe what just happened. 7 of my friends, my family, massacred. Then I realized one had gotten up. "Have you guys put them down yet?" I asked.
"No. Why?" Ashlyn asked. I pointed behind her. Amber had gotten up and was headed for some unsuspecting campers. Then a golden arrow went through her head. I looked behind me and saw Andrew holding up his crossbow. "You guys have done enough" I said "Andrew and I will clear the place and take care of the rest" Andy nodded his agreement and so did the others.
Surprisingly there wasn't much to be done. The bathroom had Nico and Hazel but that's it. I guess the portal shutting must have made the rest disappear. I reached down and closed Hazel's eyes. Then I shot her with an arrow. This was too much. The others had taken care of Cory, Amber, and Zach but I couldn't help..... I didn't help. I sobbed before pointing my bow at Nico. Just as I was about to let go of my arrow I heard a groan. "Don't...." Nico was alive! He was alive!! He groaned and turned over. I saw that his right arm was bitten. "Nico, your arm."
"I know. They all disappeared when the portal closed, but not before they took Hazel and bit me."
"You know what I have to do." I said with concern on my face. I got out my blade and took out my belt.
"Yeah. Just do it." He said in pain. I proceeded to amputate his right arm.
Ashlyn's POV
I was staring at a dead paranormal woman with dark hair. She was small and wearing a waitress outfit. She looked like Blaire, but I couldn't dwell on that now. At that moment Blaire and Clarisse broke through. Clarisse ran over to Chris and I saw she was carrying a baby. Somebody came up to me and she looked so familiar. "Hello. My name is Athena" I was shocked, this was my grandmother. (;o;) "Hi I'm Ashlyn." All of the other gods started crowding around me. I couldn't handle this anymore. My friends dying, me ending up in another time period, and now the impossible. I felt my throat closing and it was hard to breathe.
3rd Person POV
Ashlyn fell to the ground, her hand clasping her chest. "What's wrong with her?" Artemis asked. Just then Percy(o) (Okay guys when there is a double if it has a o in parenthesis next to their name then they are from the future.) pushed through the crowd and fell to the ground next to Ash. "She's having a panic attack." He responded. He searched his pockets for an inhaler that might make it easier to breathe. Ash was now gasping and grasping her dad's arm. "Come on. Deep breath. In and out." Percy(o) started coaching. Then Andrea came through the crowd followed by Annabeth, Clarisse, Chris, Blaire, and Nico. "Okay I'm here." Andrea said.
"Who are you?" Artemis asked.
"I'm Andrea. Daughter of Apollo" Andrea responded.
"Well I never thought he'd have a daughter." Artemis scoffed. "Well he did. Now if you'll excuse me my friend's in trouble." Andrea said, quickly turning from her Aunt. She kneeled next to Ash. Knowing that Ash believed she couldn't breathe when, in fact, she could. "Ashlyn speak."
"Why? I can't breathe." She said.
"Yes you can if you're speaking you are breathing." Andrea said, getting through to her friend with logic.
"Thanks Andrea." Ash said, realizing she could breathe. "What happened?" Andrew asked coming into the circle. "Panic attack." Andrea responded. Then, Chiron came up to them. "Okay everyone I suggest we clean up this mess, be introduced to our new guests, hold burials for those dead, and then eat dinner and go to bed." He said uneasily, everyone agreed.
