Chapter 1

The Quest

Katie's pov

"Hey, Katie," I hear a voice yell and I swivel away from the healthy looking tulips that are sitting in front of me. "Yes?" I call out hesitantly; if it's Travis or Connor I don't want them within 20 feet of me.

But as I turn around I see black wavy hair and sea green eyes that always remind me of my little pond outside my Alabama home.

"Hey… Katie… Chiron… wants… you….immediately." Percy sits down next to me and pants. He must have run all the way here, I reckoned.

"Well, what is Percy?" I say gently, knowing his sides and lungs must be burning. He looks at me with a pained expression and for a second I don't know if it's because of the running or the news Chiron is going to tell me about. But Before I can ask, he interrupts me.

"So, how's Franklin high school treating you?" he asks. I want to ask about why he changed subjects, but this is really like the first conversation I have had with the "hero" of the camp as people call him, and well, I'm curios. So, I play along.

"Um… well… it's hard and boring…" I stammer.

He smiles and says, "Yeah, I probably shouldn't have asked an ADHD and dyslectic kid about how school is going, but really I meant, how the kids are."

"Oh." I say, feeling stupid. "They're nice, kinda, well, really they're judgmental, but ummm, they can be nice sometimes."

He nods as if he completely understands, which, I remember, he probably does.

"Yeah, people can be like that. Just remember that it's not really you that has the problem, it's the people that can accept you. Because I think your nice, and have this glare that could probably bring the Minotaur on his knees, which I think is pretty cool, by the way."

I try to scowl, but I can't help but laugh. He grins at me and stands up. He holds out a hand, and helps me up. Then, we walk to the Big House and step in, and I see Connor, Travis, Annabeth, Chiron, and Mr. D sitting quietly around the ping pong table where we usually have war councils.

That's when I knew it was bad, that so many ADHD kids could sit so long without saying anything, but I didn't say anything either. I just slipped into the seat by Chiron and Annabeth and sat.

Chiron nodded at me sullenly and spoke, "Welcome, everyone. I have some news to tell you. You five shall go on a quest and seek…"

"WHAT!" we all yelled in unison, then Annabeth piped up "But, Chiron, you always told us quests were to be used by the ancient numbers, you know 3 furies, 3 fates, THE BIG 3!"

"I know, child, but you mustn't focus on those such details," he sighed. " I have talked to our well known oracle, and she says, well, you must all go, as simple as that." He looked around us at our shocked expressions, and whispered, "Do you want to hear you prophecy?" we all nodded slowly, and saw Rachel appear from nowhere, and we recognized the green glow from her eyes as she rasped,

The five that are chosen, shall sail towards light,

You will join some new friends you hopefully won't fight,

You may then join hands and happily rejoice,

Or you will have blood shed if you chose the wrong choice.

We all sat there stunned, new friends, I couldn't believe it blood shed? What? But, something was bothering me.

So I turned towards Chiron, and asked "Okay, nice prophecy," I was surprised how shaky and uneven my voice was, but I continued, "But why... me? Why did you choose me to go on this quest? I not very helpful in battle, I... all im good at is growing flowers and eating cereal? I mean I kind of get the Stolls, they are good at sneaking, believe me, and Percy is good with sailing, and Annabeth, well, she's Annabeth."

Everyone nodded in agreement, Annabeth didn't need an explanation, she just needed to show up.

Chiron looked at me sadly, and whispered, "Well, someone needs to save your dad right, child?"

Everyone turned toward me, but as I glanced at Percy, I realized, he already had known, he just wanted me to feel happy before I heard.

But, I didn't feel happy now. All I felt were my tears crowding at the corners of my eyes, and the lump in my throat. I had to leave. I had to escape this threshold. So, I jumped up and sprinted to the strawberry fields. But as I ran, I knew one way or another; I was going on a quest.

So, how was it? Was it good? Please review, I need answers!

Sorry, if the chapter was short, I'm new to this!

BYE!
