Percy Jackson Betrayal

Chapter 13

I'd advise you to go back and read the end of the last chapter since you might be confused after such a long wait. Now that that's been said, get nice and comfy because this is quite a long chapter.

"What are you doing here?!" I hissed, looking around to make sure no one had seen her or was snooping in.

"Well, aren't you pleasant?" Hemera said, huffing and crossing her arms. She sat cross-legged on the hood of a yellow GTR. "I came here to help you," She said, standing up. "And don't worry, I made sure no one had seen me or could hear us."

"You're insane!" I whisper yelled.

"Hey! Only slightly unstable, not insane." Hemera said, narrowing her eyes.

"And you just admitted it," I said, shaking my head and turning around to see if I could find out where we were by now. "If you're here to help, what do you plan on doing?" I asked.

"Ah, that's the thing, Erebus might've come up with this whole idea. So, don't look at me like I'm insane-"

"You are."

"- when it's all Erebus' doing, okay?" She finished, sending me a glare. I scratched the back of my neck, turning back to her. She had an eyebrow raised and her arms and legs still crossed, sitting on the hood of the car. I nodded.

"Good. I need you to introduce me as your sister and say that I am here to help. They think you're Erebus' son, and they'll think that I am above the laws when you introduce me as your sister." She said, an open-mouthed smile now present on her face. I stared back, straight-faced.

"No? Okay, I'll just make it so that you'll be the only one able to see me. Seeing as my domain is Day, I can just blend into all sources of light and can bend the light around myself, they won't be seeing anything of me." She went on to explain her plan seeing as Erebus' was stupid and I couldn't help but nod.

"It would work, but what are you trying to do?" I questioned further.

"Ugh!" She threw her hands up. "Why do you ask so many questions?! You need my help dealing with the asshole that Artemis is holding up, making sure that he doesn't meet with Gaea. You don't have an ounce of your previous power, and I know that as soon as he sees you, Chaos will know everything." She explained and realization dawned on my face. I had connected all the dots upon seeing Atlas and the images that had filtered through my vision when the Oracle of Delphi had spoken the prophecy.

"You are a genius, Hemera! How could I be so stupid to not realize that?!" I exclaimed, still in a hushed voice. She flipped her platinum blond hair over one shoulder with her right hand.

"I know I am." She said with a dazzling smile.

"I'll let you have your moment, this time, Hemera," I said, walking past the car she was sitting on. She hopped off it, following me. I started heading to the floor below, whispering to her to make sure no one saw her, she nodded and I just trusted that she did so.

I saw Thalia sitting in a hot-wired Mercedes, a slightly angered face, I looked towards Hemera, seeing her raise an eyebrow to the electric blue-eyed girl.

"Don't look at me, no one can see me other than you," Hemera said, stepping back with her arms raised.

"Perfect." I breathed out. "Thanks for the help, 'sis'!" I said sarcastically. I then walked over to the car, knocking on the window. Thalia looked at me, eyes slightly narrowed, I narrowed my eyes back.

"Please? I'm bored." I asked. I saw her sigh with her head down, reaching over and unlocking the door. I got in the car, pushing Hemera away when Thalia wasn't looking. I felt a connection open up in my mind.
