The Awakening: Chapter 7

Annabeth's P.O.V

Josh shouted from the ground as Niobe flew me through the air. She didn't need to tie me up with the golden rope because I didn't have the same power as him. Niobe just encase me in an invisible layer of shield.

Then, she put me down, somewhere in the woods where there's a think layer of mist. I could swear that this is Las Vegas, where we are on a quest to rescue Josh's mom.

I tried to fight my way out, but it seems that there is no way out.

Once we land, Niobe removed the layer of shield to let me out. Niobe pushed me out from the air and I landed face first on the ground.

I looked up and saw a girl with weaving threads. This could be the Fates themselves, holding the strings of life.

But if she's one of the fates, why isn't she with her other sisters? What happened to her sisters?

Then, I realized that this woman is not one of the fates. It's Arachne, the woman whom Athena turned into a spider.

I knew that Arachne really wants to take revenge on Athena, but she knew she's a goddess so that she couldn't take revenge directly. She would need to take it on her daughter.

"And now!" Niobe announced, and she turned to Arachne. "Would you like to enjoy the show?"

Arachne smiled. "I would love to."
