ALEX?!?!

-2 days later-

[Camp Half Blood]

Quite a few things happened when I was gone, Percy blowing up the toilets, Thalia leaving for school, Percy being claimed, and Hades appearing in the bonfire. Why he chose that location? I'm not sure to be honest. But, hey he's a God, Gods are weird.

I saw the Oracle coming down from her attic. 'It's about time they get a quest' I thought

You shall go west, and face the god who has turned,

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned,

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,

And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.

That's quite straight forward but pretty vague at the same time. 'Oh well'

I can't help out since it was their quest after all. I may be able to help them from time to time but can't change anything, otherwise not only will I have a long a** talk with the fates but also other entities that could be involved, or that's what my dad said.

I followed them for a day and watched as they blew up a bus along with a couple Furies. God I shouldn't have given them the C4. They even left their stuff in the bus too. I feel like walking over there and give them a slap in the face each, but I held myself back. 'Take a deep breath. Come on. Take a deep breath' I thought to myself 'It's their first quest after all'

I continued to follow them for another day to a flower garden. 'Its so old and abandoned' before finding some statues around. 'they are too life like' I thought to myself frowning. They all showed a face of fear. 'Something is wrong' I thought before seeing Annabeth running.

'Why is she ru-' before I could think anything further I found myself looking at a woman who people would normally find beautiful. 'BUT WHY THE F*** DOES SHE HAS SNAKES FOR HAIR' I quickly turned around and ran before she could see me 'Was that Medusa?' Jeez it was creepy looking at her.

It took them a while to kill the damn woman. They cut off her head and sent her to Olympus. Either he is brave or just plain stupid. Zeus would just send a bolt down and ruin their day if he still had his Master Bolt.

I followed them for another day as Percy became a wanted fugitive somehow. Seriously, his step dad is an a**hole. His life just gets better as he fell down a cliff into the river below. I knew he would be fine. After all, water can't hurt him. I was right, he came out of the river a couple minutes later and met up with Annabeth and Grover. 'I can't watch anymore' so I came out of hiding.

"Follow me, you guys may want to eat first" I suddenly came out of nowhere and said

"ALEX?!?!" the three cried out in surprise.

I looked at them smiling "What?"

Annabeth looked at me before stating "You are the one that was watching us the entire time"

"Not the entire time" I smiled "I stopped watching you guys the moment you checked in for a Motel"

Annabeth and Percy heaved a breath of relief

"Although I caught you guys at the pool" I laughed

"ALEX!!!"

I took the three of them to a fast food restaurant for food and ordered a couple burgers and fries for them.

"Hahaha"

I watched them gobbling them down food and laughed.

"Slow down. Jeez you guys are eating all these so quickly." I smiled

I felt someone's presence coming "Don't tell anyone I was here" I quickly told them before activating a cloaking device on my body

A big man in a biker's jacket came in sitting down next to me. I frowned as I felt a sense of danger coming from him. He gave them a side quest, to take back his shield from a wither park and return it to him. Me and Annabeth knew he was Ares and he admitted it before throwing a backpack with supplies and left.

"Alex?" Annabeth called out to me

"Yea, I'm here" I told them as I deactivated the device

"How did he not realize that you were right there"

"My mother taught me and Evan a technique to hide our presence so that even gods do not realize that we were there. Of course it might not work on Zeus, Hades or Poseidon" I told them

'Something is not right about that backpack' I thought as I felt a strange sense of danger from it. I took the backpack from them and looked through the contents, finding a metal cylinder in it.
