The Lightning Thief
discussion
Help us write a scene! (help us write a scene somewhere in the series) Read the previous and continue the scene.
"You do realize you most likely lead us into a trap right?" She asked.
(Can you guys take my Percy Jackson quiz? It's name is Ultimate Greek Geeks Quiz)
"I've got to get Annabeth back. Whatever it takes. I'm not going to leave her down there all by herself!"
Thalia smiled and continued walking. "I'm starting to think this tunnel goes straight to Tartarus"
(first time! LOVE this story so far!)
Percy ignored the joke and continued down, determined to find Annabeth wherever this tunnel led him. He put his foot out to step on the next rock and it went all downhill from there...

Literally. He slipped and went tumbling down finally landing hard against a cliff. Thalia landed next to him.
"Where in the name of Zeus are we?" she asked.
"Where in the name of Zeus are we?" she asked.
"I don't know, but considering you were the one to lead us down here I figured you might have SOME idea."
The tunnel was dark with only the faintest glow of light coming from the tunnel entrance far above their heads. Percy drew Riptide which offered a small bit of light.
"Is it possible we could be headed to the Underworld?" he asked.
"I don't know," Thalia whispered, a shiver running down her spin. "I didn't think there were any entrances than the main one and the one in New York."
Suddenly, there was a crash from above and a great roar sounded, making the walls vibrate. Rocks came showering down on them.
"Percy," Thalia breathed, "I think the monster's back."

"Percy," Thalia breathed, "I think the monster's back."
With every roar of the monster, the more debris came falling on Percy and Thalia.
Percy was running through escape options in his mind. They could stay, fight the monster and try to go up the way they came or they could find another way out. No option seemed very good.
Suddenly Percy smelled something famililar. It was the ocean. Could this cavern be under water? They journeyed so far, it was entirely possible.
"Thalia!" Percy shouted. "I have an idea!"

Percy and Thalia jumped.
Despite her confidence in Percy's plan, Thalia screamed on the way down. height were not her friend. She couldn't see a thing other than the faint glow of Riptide a few feet away and she had no idea how far down the bottom was, if there was even a bottom. Suddenly she felt Percy's grip on her arm and braced herself for impact.
They hit the water hard. Thalia was sure it would have killed her if it weren't for Percy.
"Thalia, you okay?" Percy asked.
"Yeah. You?"
"Yeah. The current's taking us away from the monster I think."
As if on cue, there was a great splash and the monster landed in the water next to them.

(I think we should go back to Annabeth she hasn't been part of the story for a while.)

Annabeth was finally free. Unfortunately, all she could see was darkness and that creepy clown skeleton that Lieon (is that his name?) left to watch her.
(yes)Annabeth got out her hidden knife inside her sleeve she had not been able to get while in chains
She debated whether she should stab the skeleton and whether it would do any good. He hadn't moved since she got there so she figured it wasn't worth it and began searching for a way to get that stupid door open.
She tried haking, using one of the clown's bones and running into the wall like she had seen on Harry Potter. None had worked.
If only Nico were here, she thought. Then again, if Nico were here I probably wouldn't have gotten into this mess at all.
She sat down against the wall of her prison.
"Think Annabeth!" she shouted. Then it hit her. "GODS I'm stupid!"
She pulled out her (I think it was) distress locator (correct me if I'm wrong).
"Nico di Angelo," she whispered.

"Nico di Angelo," she whispered.
((I think that was the name))All Annabeth say was a pale lump. Then the image crealed and she saw Nico, but he looked terrible, like he'd been poisoned.
(Wow more posts! I must catch up! Give me a sec and then I shall write something)
(yes it is distress locator.)The scene before Annabeth shocked her. Nico was sitting in a bed, looking sick and very pale. By his side was.... Rachel. "-learned something about the Oracle," he was saying. "It is very important, and that's why I came. You are in danger-" he froze when he saw Annabeth.
"Nico I need help"
Rachael, now alert, turned to see who it was. She breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw it was Annabeth, but her eyes widened like two golden drachmas again when she saw where Annabeth was.
(Which?)
"Nico," said Annabeth weakly, "I know this isnt the best time, but I am kind of outside the gates of Tartus and I would prefer not to die today."Nico's eyes widened. "Tartus? Why are you there?"
"Your dad and this guy named Lieon-"
"LIEON?" Nico paled.
"I'm stuck in Tartarus. Lion, Hades's son, your umm half brother, trapped me"
Erin wrote: "(I'm confused on that last post.)"(which one?)
"Lieon?" Nico said again.
"Yes, why?"
(whoa wait, hang on. I though Annabeth was imprisoned by Hades and Lieon. when did she go to Tartarus?)
(Lieon is the god of Tartarus))
(well, they were holding her at the gates of Tartus, and that's where she is. If she was in Tartus, she would be dead.)
(nevermind, but when did Annabeth go to Tartarus? i thought she was just imprisoned by Hades in the dungeons)
((No, becouse the god was keeping her, so the monsters couldn't get her.))
(it explained it in a certain comment, hold on let me find it)
(I'm confused too))
(comment 209, i think. Lieon threatened to throw Annabeth into Tartus if Percy didn't get the sword, which is what he is trying to do now with Thalia. Annabeth is stuck at the gates of Tartus, which is where she was being held captive. And now Nico and Rachel are talking to her using her distress locator. Make more sense?)
(Ok, back to the story)"Well, Lion is the god of Tartarus, and he sent some monsters that almost killed me"
"I know," whispered Nico. "And if Lieon really is down there, you need to run. Now.""Why?" said Annabeth.
"Because Lieon wants to kill you."
******************************************************
(okay I understand now. gotcha)
Percy and Thalia were set adrift somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. They'd been out there for what felt like forever. Percy's powers somehow kept them floating and dry but it was awkward for Percy to be holding hands with Thalia. If Artemis saw me now, she'd probably turn me into a squirrel or something, he thought.
"So, we are looking for a sword. In the middle of the ocean," said Thalia.
"Well, there's land there" she said, pointing.
"Well," Percy said, "It's our best shot. I say we go for it."
"And risk meeting something worse than what was back there? We need a better game plan."
"We're floating in the middle of the ocean Thalia. How do you suggest we do that?"
"And risk meeting something worse than what was back there? We need a better game plan."
"We're floating in the middle of the ocean Thalia. How do you suggest we do that?"
"How aboiut you explore, and I stay in the water, that way if something eats you I can leave safely.
Percy rolled his eyes. "Fine, we both go."
Closing his eyes and focusing, Percy willed the water to carry the two of them to the island by wave. Normal sixteen-year-old kids probably got places by car or bus or train or walking, Percy thought, I travel by controlling water with my mind. It was one perk of being a demigod.

"Uh, Percy?" said Thalia. "Yeah?"
"I think we've got a problem." she pointed. "Somethin' big that looks like heck is coming toward us."
****************************************************
"What?" Annabeth exclaimed. "Why would Lieon want to kill me?"
"Well, first off, he's really evil, and supported the giants, second, Athena humiliated him so bad, Tartarus was the only place he could hide"
"Oh."
"Get out of there, Annabeth."
"There's just one small problem..."
"What?"
"I can't. He's got me trapped here and I can't get out. That's why I need your help. Please."
Nico looked at Rachel.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"I don't know. Chiron said not to let you go anywhere for at least 24 hours. You're not strong enough."
"Get out of there, Annabeth."
"There's just one small problem..."
"What?"
"I can't. He's got me trapped here and I can't get out. That's why I need your help. Please."
Nico looked at Rachel.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"I don't know. Chiron said not to let you go anywhere for at least 24 hours. You're not strong enough."
"Um, long story-""You know, I would love to hear about that," interrupted Annabeth, "but someone is coming! Bye!" and with that she shut it off.
(mysteries we will need to uncover by the end of this story:1. What Nico was explaining is dangerous to Rachel
2. Why only Percy can get the sword
3. The powers Hades thinks Annabeth has
4. And some others I can't remember. Just keep these in mind)
