Prologue - Occupational hazards


"Six hundred-floor."

The guy who was reading a magazine looked at me like if I'd just scaped from a psychiatric centre. How pathetic, he always do the same.

"I'm sorry, girl, but there's no six hundred-floor.

I got closer to the bar and I frowned my eyebrows.

"I have to go to the six hundred-floor where there is the Olympus, the house of the gods, the home of the drama queens that don't know how to do anything by theirselves." I said sighing.

I had had an exhaustive day. I had been the whole morning in Camp Half-Blood training and doing like I was having fun, while I planned the hypothetic death of everyone that surronded me. Occupational hazards.

The reception's guy let me enter and go up in the elevator to the Olympus, in the heights of the Empire State Building.

I cleaned my camp's orange t-shirt and I tied my blonde hair.

Then I went to the gods' room.

The first thing I saw when I entered was my friend and mate Piper McLean, who was arguing with her mother, the goddess Aphrodite.

Then I noticed the gods that where in their thrones. In that moment, there only were is that place Zeus, Poseidon, Athena and the bovine queen.

"Yes, that stupid mortal won't bother us again, Chase's work." said the last one, while Athena, my mother glared at her.

"I can't belive you are obligating my daughter to waste her talent by working like a vulgar hitwoman." protested the wisdom goddess.

Zeus denied with the head and mumbled: «We are not obligating her»

I almost bursted out of fury. I didn't want to be there. I didn't want to kill innocent people. But, did I have another option?

"As that person was saying," I said, pointing mockingly at Hera. "the mission is done. Will I have a rest or do I have to murder anyone else?"

Zeus told me that I could have a rest, at least untill tomorrow. Wow, such a long vacations.

Piper came and waved to me. She had tied some feathers in her hair, as she always do when she come from a mission.

"Hey Annabeth, do you wanna go to the cinema tomorrow? They finally let me to relax for a time." she suggested me.

"I suppose I will be able to go, maybe Thalia and Nico will come with us." I answered.

Suddenly I heard some growls behind my back. I turned and I saw how Zeus and Poseidon were arguing, but I couldn't hear about what.

I ignored it and I went to the lift with Piper by my side.

"Annabeth, they have already told Reyna to join us." said Piper,  short-spoken and a bit sad.

I was perplexed and I waved my head to recover myself.

I made a silent question and Piper answered with a simple «Hylla». I nodded and I prayed to Hestia, the only god with a real heart, to take pity for Reyna Ávila Ramírez-Arellano. I hoped she didn't have to be in our situation.

But sincerely, there were only a few demigods that weren't recruit yet.

I was the first to be recruited followed by Thalia. A shot time after that Nico joined. Clarisse LaRue. Piper. Leo Valdez. Will Solace.

We were all assasins. Occupational hazards.

So I'm traslating my fic cause I want and cause I can akdjjakalals

Please correct any mistake because in some parts I used Google Translator and we all know that that doesn't work well 😂

That's all, you English readers.
