Islands of Guilt

Annabeth-

"But wasn't there another Shadowhunter who went missing like Luke did at the Uprising for the Circle?" Isabelle asks her brother.

"That is correct... Fredrick... Chasebird! I remember reading about him in mother and father's files--" Alec says, but he's interrupted by the scream that escapes my lips. I thought I had controlled my panic attacks, but this one was unexpected. I hated things like this, that I never would think would happen. That's the main cause of the attacks, other than spiders. Alec and Isabelle look at each warily.

"I-I'm sorry," I state, my voice wavering,"That was unexpected. I just.. remember looking through my dad's things for a pen, and finding a little box of things with that last name in it. A ring, a stick thingy, and some other weird things."

"It's fine...Let's just see Magnus before that happens again," Isabelle says. Just then, her head turns, along with mine and Alec's. The reason, was the sound of heavy running and breathing from that general direction coming towards us, and a dark figure speeding like a riptide. Another two followed, not as fast, but attempting to reach the main one.

"Who is that...?" Alec's voice is a bit questioning. Well, his question was answered right when the figure bumped into me, but holding me in a protecting position. "Annabeth!" Percy. It was Percy. He must've heard my scream and thought I was in need of trouble. "My damsel in distress! Are you alright?" He truthfully sounded worried.

"Damsel in distress my ass," I whisper under my breath. His hand was over my head, against his chest, and his body blocked me from seeing the Shadowhunters. I lift my head up to look at Percy, his sea green eyes were dark, like that sea was facing a storm. My voice was a bit scratchy from the scream when I say, "I'm okay. I promise. Are you okay?" His sweet smile reflects on me, "Yes. I'm okay. I thought you were dying or something."

A squeal of joy comes from the one and only Isabelle, "Oh you guys are so cute!" The other two figures that were behind Percy, finally catches up. One was short, Latino, and had wild curly brown hair and eyes. The other was average height, pale as a ghost with ink-black hair and eyes, with the grass behind him turning dead, the flowers wilting. He was a Son of Hades for sure. The other...Hephaestus, due to the tool belt and oil stains on his shirt, along with the tinkering hands.

"We found something we think you'd like to see," The Hephaestus child says. Then he notices the Shadowhunters and noticeably glares. "You too."

The Son of Hades interferes, "Sorry about him," he says to the Shadowhunters, then turns to Percy,"It's the Starkweather kid."

Notes

Sorry it took so long to update! I've been SOOOOO stressed with moving to another city in April, getting Saturday school, and everything is changing. I'm going away from my friends, my school (which I'm saying is the only school I've ever liked), my family, and lots of chances I can maybe never get again. So I've been trying to try out all those chances, and fit it all in a two month period. But I guess I do get to look up to being in a house for the first time in my life rather than an apartment. Also I'm going to Greece next summer and maybe Rome!!!! Well, it may be a while till the next update, and now you all know why. So Happy early Valentines Day ('u')/ Hope you have someone you love to spend it with (unlike me, I plan on eating tons of chocolate, watching netflix, and maybe a little regret about life. the usual saturday c:)
