Forbidden Love
Annabeth POV
It's been a year since the war with Kronos. 1 year and everything has gone terribly wrong. The campers at Camp Half Blood have turned against each other. The camp has split into two sides. Friendships are broken, relationships are ruined, fights are happening everyday, blackmail is popular, and the love that the camp once held, is gone. And it's all because of the prophecy Rachel Elizabeth Dare spoke.
-Flash Back-
It was one of the coldest Decembers ever. One night everyone was sitting around the campfire singing and laughing. Couples were holding hands and enjoying the night. Percy was next to me with his arm around my waist. He kissed my cheek and smiled at me. But we were interrupted when Rachel's eyes started glowing an eerie green and the fire almost burned out. Mist soared out of her mouth as she spoke one of the most shortest and puzzling phrophecy the camp has ever heard.
"Friends become foes for whatever goes. Till fireflies die and the moon is in the sky, they will say one last goodbye. They will turn in the end to a place they can not mend"
The fire began to build a little as Rachel went back to normal and turned a bright shade of red when she saw everybody looking at her.
"What? Oh. Did it happen again? What did I say?" She said as she looked around for someone to answer her. But no one did.
We just finished one bad prophecy, we didn't want another one to begin. Just then a firefly(A/N: I know some people call them lightning bugs also) Flew directly into the flames of the fire. Everyone started to look at each other and the whispering began. the fire turned a blackish gray. The air was thicker now. Like there was something just lurking over us. Everybody looked worried and some even scared.
Percy looked at me and we both knew something bad was going to happen.
-End of flash back-
Now 6 months later it's June and everything has gotten worse. Normally right now, if it was any other summer, I'd be in a good mood. I would be finally coming back to my home, I would be seeing all me friends, I be getting to train the new campers. I would get to see all of my siblings and Chiron. But most of all, I would be happy to see my boyfriend, Percy Jackson. I haven't seen Seaweed Brain since Christmas because of the move. You see I was originally suppose to live in New York, but that all changed with me father.
My father hasn't liked Percy at all since the end of last summer and he didn't want us together because since Percy was the son of Poseidon, he attracts more monsters, meaning more danger for me. My father got a really good job offer back in San Francisco and we were right back there by the end of fall. Having a long distance relationship isn't the most ideal, but it's better than nothing. Though Percy and I make it work. It's hard at times but he always knows how to cheer me up. But this summer isn't like any other summer.
This summer the Blood War is going on. That's what us campers call it. The campers think that the prophecy is talking about the camp. That the campers are going to kill one another, so they took sides and made alliances. It's kind off like the cold war I guess you can say, only worse. The campers have turned against each other, splitting the camp into two sides. On one side the cabins of Athena, Zeus, Ares, Hermes, and Aphrodite have an alliance. We have the brains, power, strength, stealth, and love.
The other side is made up of the cabins of Poseidon, Apollo, Dionysus, Hades, Hephaestus, and Demeter have made an alliance. They have power, skill, tricks, skeleton armies, weapons/tools, and deadly poison ivy. Hera, Artemis's cabins don't belong to either side, since they have no campers. It seems the two side of the camp hate each other. Everyday fights break out, and the more they break out, the more violent they get. Camp Half-Blood is a full out battle ground.
Not all the campers believe the prophecy is about the camp though. Not all the campers want to fight, but some have been turned blind with hate. Chiron's tried to get the camp to stop fighting, but every time he tries it just gets worse. The gods don't even interfere. It all seems so pointless and stupid to me though. I knew this was going to affect my relationship with Percy. I mean, after all he's on the other side. I know Malcom and the rest of the camp is going to through a fit at me and him. But we're not the only ones still together. Travis and Katie are. So are Silena and Beckendorf. And many others. Their all just keeping it secret and on the down-low. I think Percy and I will have to do that.
Camp Half-Blood has lost the love it once held. It's not home anymore. It's a battle ground. A battle ground that can't be saved.
