The Lightning Thief Annabeth Chase Novels & Stories

His hand rubbed my arm encouragingly. “He’s right. You need this,” Jace acknowledged and kissed me delicately on the forehead. “We’ll stay with you the whole time.” They were crazy to think I wanted a chance at getting electrocuted. I thrashed until it was useless and pressed my head on Jace’s chest. “It’s coming,” one of them said. I wasn’t sure who due to the clash of thunder. The sky was once again illuminated with lightning, and I saw the bolt hit the waterline. Electricity ran over the water until it hit us, and my whole body tensed up.

I had almost run out of his study room when I remembered the main purpose of my untimely 'visit'. 'No, I wasn't going to back down now until I get what I want,' I mentally encouraged myself while gathering every last bit of energy I had left to face the fuming Greek god. In my 'unfortunate' state, I realized that the woman beneath him seemed to have stopped moving. Flashes of what could have happened to her ran through my head, and I shivered in fright.

Zephyrus’ POV I went inside Annabeth’s house, hoping to get some lead on Lena’s whereabouts. Annabeth gestured for me to sit on a couch while she sat opposite. Under the dim light, I saw the bright, highly reflective crystal ball on the table, the size of a grapefruit. I sat down, watching her work on the crystal ball. She lighted two candles on either side of the obsidian crystal ball. With her half-closed eyes, Annabeth placed her hands on the orb, muttering some chants to create a perfect scrying spell.

It was as if the air itself was encouraging her, urging her to go further. Thunder and lightning were next. Marissa closed her eyes, focusing on the energy in the atmosphere. She could feel the static electricity crackling around her fingertips. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a bolt of lightning, watching it dance through the sky before crashing down with a deafening roar. The power was exhilarating, and she reveled in the thrill of it, knowing that each strike made her stronger.

I grounded out. Thorne shook his head. “You claim you want to protect Lyra, then you must know that the blade is made specifically for her. It doesn't matter what you believe. It is real.” I rubbed a hand over my face and rolled my eyes. “Fine. Let's say that blade is what they say it is; I still won't sacrifice Lyra to keep myself safe.” “She is a Chimera,” Thorne bellowed. “She is a creature of the ancient. You have no idea the kind of powers she wields.”

declared the Warlock God, Zythorath. Suddenly, the weather changed; thunder roared and lightning crackled across the sky above them. A bolt of lightning struck the secret chamber where they were conversing. Everything in the room began shaking and falling to the ground, but Zephyr managed to escape the lightning strike that burned everything around him. "What just happened?" Zephyr murmured in disbelief, his frantic eyes surveying the devastation unfolding around them. "You fool!" the warlock God, Zythorath, growled, his eyes burning red with fury. "Why didn't you tell me that they were true mates?"

He kissed my cheek, and I ran to tell mother everything about my day. Darkness fell over the dream, and I felt a dark pull. My heart rate quickened; my breath deepened. There was a dim light in the distance, so small I couldn’t gauge how far away it was. I walked and walked, and the light barely changed. I began to panic and felt like I was drowning. A box appeared around me and started filling with water. I couldn’t break the glass; the water was being pumped in through a pipe too big for me to block with anything. Then a light turned on, and in front of the box stood Claire, Lucas, and Dan. I began to lift with the rising water. It wasn’t long before the box was almost full, and I took my

A beast lunged at me but I drove my hands through it, ripping out its bloody heart, squashing it in my hands. “La requiem ut gar luzik…” Another witch began to chant, conjuring up the forces of nature to attack me. The sky roared loudly as the clouds parted, sparking with electricity. From the sky a single powerful lightening struck at me. I groan, feeling the burn that dropped with the thunder consume me. There was a smirk on the witch’s face, but it was soon dispersed as my eyes narrowed on her, sparking with rage. I redirected the witch lightning through my fingertips, sending the thunder back to her and her other associate. They both burn as their screams fill the night air.

Just as soon as she dropped the call, her phone dinged and it was a message from Jeremy, the video he promised to send. She clicked on it and began to play it. “Hello Everyone, I’m sure you don’t know me but I’m Annabeth, Annabeth Covey, Elizabeth Thatcher’s Step sister, ….” The video began. Meanwhile …. Victoria Island GRA 8:00am …… “Hey mom,” Nimi greeted as he walked into his house. “Welcome home son, how was your day?!”

He noticed my pain and softened his voice, “Nerin, my love, I know how painful this is for you. Just remember one day they will once again bow down to you as Queen. You know they are under the control of your Aunt, and right now our other kingdom is being attacked, and the light power in you is all the weapon we have to stop this.” A few tears escaped and ran down my cheek. Xipher is right. I have to do something; Mom cannot hold the shield for long. I nodded then began to summon the light. I started lifting from the saddle and into the sky. I felt the best advantage point was high above the castle, so I rose up and over. Once I was in position, I summoned more power and began to spin. I rea
