Change is inventible
But the choices we make can change everything
[The final chapter in the Songs of Nikai series! I hope you all enjoy it! Well, actually not the FINAL FINAL chapter, you see I'll be doing another Songs of Nikai involving their kids…]
Summary: This year, as Kai knows, will be anything but normal. Half-bloods simply just never seem to have time for 'normal'! The new great prophecy seems to loom mysteriously over everyone as it lurks in the shadows, unavoidable and unpreventable. As if the stress of the prophecy isn't enough. Kai, as we all know by now, is defiantly, not the most agreeable person, but as she attends high school being attacked by eleven monsters a day and surrounded by annoying oblivious mortals, the world just seems to have it in for Kai this year. With new friends and new allies the prophecy awaits them all. Meanwhile, old enemies and creatures are gatherings while Kai, and the others are stuck in a dreaded place called High School, worrying about that late essay, or at least six of the seven are. Some, *cough* Kai *cough* don't give a crap whether she gets an F or an A on a pop quiz. Her main worry is what she's having for dinner… -_-
::Chapter one::
::Live like we're dying::
I was currently holding a, well deserved, grudge against my damned centaur brother. Who has currently enrolled me in HIGH SCHOOL! Of course, normal kids my (appearance wise) age would be in school. But I've already graduated college five hundred times too many. Yet, still the centaur insisted. So, here I am listening to some boring lecture…actually, I wasn't listening at all, I was actually listening to my ipod…
I was walking to my next class when I saw it…;outside was a cannibal giant…oh joy. I ran out and, drawing my dagger, killed the monsters by now half the kids were watching me, it most likely looked as if I was holding a gun and had just killed some really ugly person. I sighed and snapped my fingers…and they went on with their oblivious human lives. Poor them. Day after day, living their boring lives. Then again, for the past month I've been living that life so I guess that makes me a hypocrite. I headed to math…I hated math.
Mainly because it was the one class I didn't have with Nico and it was all so CONFUSING with all the numbers swirling around me. Talk about a migraine. Despite my dyslexia the teacher STILL expected me to know all of it. Of course, the ironic thing is, I did. I've had to learn all this crap OVER AND OVER! After living as many life times as I have I could perform an appendectomy flawlessly for Zeus's sake. After the years of politics, which half the classes I slept through, I could run a country if I wanted to. Yet, here I was sitting through another lecture of algebraic expressions. The good thing was some of the variables were in Greek. I was still sitting listening to my ipod…
After math was gym…which I refused to participate in, who knew a girl who could take down Kronos could be so crap lousy in a game of lacrosse? So, instead I grabbed my back pack and headed to my apartment. I told Nico and the others I'd see them later. From there I headed home and plopped on my lazy boy sofa. I sighed, contemplating what I wanted to do in the time I had, while I waited for Trent, Zane, and Nico to return…
I signed online, and logged onto you tube. As I began singing along to Live Like We're Dying by Kris Allen. "Sometimes we fall down, can't get, back up.
We're hiding, behind skins, that's too tough.
How come, we don't say, I love you, enough?
Until it's too late, it's not too late.
Our hearts are hungry, for a food that, won't come,
and we're all, staring down the barrel of a gun.
So if your life flashed before you,
what would you wish you would've done?
Yeah, we gotta start looking at the hands of the time we've been given.
If this is all we got than we gotta start thinking
if every second counts on a clock that's ticking,
gotta live like we're dying.
We only eighty six four hundred seconds in a day to
turn it all around or to throw it all away
we gotta tell em that we love em
while we've got the chance to say,
gotta live like we're dying." I sang when suddenly my iphone rang…
I checked, Annabeth Jackson. Mrs. Jackson, I shuttered, that's gonna take some getting used to…I answered, "KAI!" Annabeth's voice shouted through the phone.
"No, this is her evil twin…Kai 2" I said sarcastically as I heard her sighed irritated, I could visualize her rolling her grey eyes.
"SERIOUSLY KAI! THIS IS SERIOUS!" She shouted, as I rolled my eyes and shot a guy on Halo then paused again.
"Kinda figured that out by all the yelling, or do you always yell like this?" I mumbled sarcastically.
"ENOUGH WITH THE SARCASM! Listen, you Grandfather, is reeking havoc over all of San Francisco! I just flew in with Percy from San Francisco, FIVE storms!" Annabeth continued to shout.
"My Grandfather, and here I thought he was an angel…" I muttered, "What do you mean? He was castrated millennia ago…it's probably just Zeus throwing a godly tantrum because Potheidon thtowl hith pwetty pony." I told her sarcastically.
She sighed and said, "It's not Zeus…it's Uranus…" To storm or fire the world must fall…At the moment, I was kind of leaning towards fire. Would I rather we swept away by an uncontrollable vortex leading to Zeus knows where or burn to death…hmm, tough decision.
"Oh Gods…" I groaned, "Here I thought I'd finally have a normal school year." I heard Annabeth scoff.
"Face it Kai, normal just doesn't want you." She said, "Go get Nico, Trent, and Zane, meet the others at camp half-blood." I was already packing…
"So, any idea what the 'fire' part's all about?" I asked her, "Either way, it sounds hopeless." I said, "So I really don't see the point." I could imagine her rolling her eyes again.
"The point is that this is your guys' prophecy and either way your going to have to do SOMETHING about it." She told me hanging up. I drove to the school, gym was almost over, they were all in the locker room. As I walked into the locker room half the guys began screaming.
"What?" I asked then I realized, this was the boy's locker room. Oh well, "Nico, Trent, Zane, grab your stuff, we gotta go." I said as they all looked at me with jaws practically hitting the floor. It smelled like sweat, farts, and beef jerky in here. In the girls locker room it always smelled like a variety of perfume.
"Honestly, have ANY of you heard of air freshener?" I shouted as they all just looked at me as if I were medusa. I noticed Nico, Trent, and Zane's faces were all red.
"What?" I asked as Nico sighed, his shirt was off and he had a six pack. As he directed me out of the locker room, and began laughing.
"Honestly Kai, that's the BOYS locker room. Wait for us outside next time, will you?" He asked smirking,
I was pacing around when they came out.
"FINALLY!" I shouted, as I told them what Annabeth told me.
"Basically, I began hearing Darth Vader's theme song so I looked around and found my iphone, I saw it was Annabeth-" laughs "-and answered, she shouted my name checking if I was there, I said-"
"MAKE IT SIMPLE!" Trent shouted.
"OKAY! Jeez,…" I thought, "Um…prophecy…?" I said simply…
"NOT THAT SIMPLE!" Zane shouted,
"WELL WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME! YOU GUYS ARE UNPLEASABLE AND DO NOT SAY THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" I shouted, I sighed and said, "Basically, Uranus is being a jerk and as the prophec-iers or whatever you want to call us, it's our job to help, so we gotta get a move on and get to camp half-blood pronto, νωρίς, noris, YAGATE!" I said in different languages, as they nodded.
