Disclaimer: I do NOT own PJ&O. Do you think I would be creating this if I did? Hell no.
Penelope's POV
Mom told me that I would be perfectly safe at Camp Half Blood; that absolutely no harm could come to me while I was staying here.
Yeah right. If she could only see me now.
I crawled all the way to the top of the hill, remembering the fights that I somehow found myself in on my way here. I successfully defeated the Minotaur and the Furies. The fight that I did not win, however, was against my step-father. He was probably still chasing me at this moment.
I collapsed on the ground at the top of the hill. I just could not go on any further. My muscles ached. My limbs were sore and my body felt like it was shutting down. I began to sob, hoping that someone from camp would eventually hear my cries.
Help finally came after what seemed like hours.
It was a pretty blond haired girl with knowing gray eyes.
Annabeth's POV
When I awoke in my cabin, I heard someone crying in the distance. I carefully walked out, trying not to wake my brothers and sisters, and followed the noise. It led me to the top of the hill on the edge of the magic border. Lying on the ground at the base of Thalia's tree was a girl who looked to be about my age. She had very long, straight, dark hair. She was bloody and covered in bruises and cuts both deep and shallow. When I looked into her eyes, I could tell that she was very terrified of something or someone.
I sat down on the ground next to her and said, "Hello. I am Annabeth. You are safe now. Let's get you to the house." She attempted to get up herself but fell down once again. It looked as if her left arm was broken. I helped her to her feet being careful of her left arm. I wrapped her right arm around my shoulders and together, we walked down the hill and into the house gradually.
I laid her down carefully on the couch, getting her as comfortable as I possibly could and yelled, "Chiron!"
He wheeled in and asked her, "What's your name, dear?"
"Penelope. Brewer." she breathed just before she closed her eyes.
"Annabeth, wake the Apollo cabin." Chiron demanded.
I nodded and walked towards Apollo's cabin to wake up his children.
I thought silently to myself, "Thank the gods he has a lot of children. We will need all the help we can possibly get.
Paige's POV
A voice said, or more like yelled, "Wake up! This is an emergency!"
I slowly awoke and said, "Annabeth?"
"Yes. Chiron needs your help."
Together, we woke up my siblings and walked into the Big House. Chiron was in his wheelchair next to the couch. We walked over and created a circle around the couch. The demigod looked very fragile with her numerous bruises and wounds.
I whispered to her, "It will be alright. Your pain will be gone soon."
Each of us touched a cut or bruise to heal. We closed our eyes and concentrated on healing. Through my closed eyes, I could see that familiar gold light emanating from our hands.
After what seemed like only a few moments of healing, Chiron said, "Good work, children of Apollo. You may now go back to your cabin to rest."
I whispered for only the demigod to hear, "May the power of Apollo be with you." and gave her one last boost of healing magic before following my brothers and sisters. Most of her bruises were gone and cuts healed, leaving only a pink scar.
The youngest of my sisters, Aimee, asked me, "Do you think she will be okay?"
"Yes, Aimee. Now quit worrying."
"What if-"
"Aimee Nikol Smith, you are beginning to sound like an Aphrodite child fretting about their looks. Now let's get some rest. I am quite sure that Chiron will want us again in a few hours."
Percy's POV
I awoke to commotion coming from the Apollo cabin. I managed to stumble out of bed and stop Annabeth in time to ask her what was going on.
She quickly answered, "I found a demigod by Thalia's tree. She is injured badly. Chiron is not sure if she will make it past today."
Despite her protests, I followed Annabeth into the Big House. She just rolled her eyes at my stubbornness.
All of Apollo's twenty million children were surrounding a couch. Even though the healers looked extremely tired, they were concentrating on healing. A soft, golden light was emanating from them and surrounding the girl.
Chiron said, "Good work, children of Apollo. You may now go back to your cabin to rest."
The Apollo kids walked out of the house toward their cabin to sleep, with one hanging back for a moment to tell the demigod something. I recognized her as Paige. Chiron wheeled next to the girl and Annabeth sat on the floor next to Chiron. I stood behind them both.
When I looked at the girl, I felt…connected to her somehow.
As soon as she opened her eyes, I instantly knew why she seemed so familiar to me.
Penelope's POV
When I awoke once again, I saw Annabeth and the man in the wheelchair who asked me for my name just before I fell asleep. Standing behind them was a teenage boy.
I could recall a soft voice telling me that, "It will be alright. Your pain will be gone soon." and, "May the power of Apollo be with you."
Annabeth handed me a cup of something and I was hesitant on drinking it at first. She convinced me that it would aid in the healing process and I drank it slowly, savoring the taste. It tasted exactly like my mother's warm pumpkin bread straight out of the oven. This reminded me of home which made me feel even better because I really missed my mother.
"How are you feeling, Penelope?" the man asked.
"I feel much better now." I answered and sat up.
"Remain down, Penelope." Annabeth commanded.
Then I knew what she meant. I instantly felt light headed and if Annabeth and the man had not have helped me lie back down, I would have fallen back down onto the pillow.
"I hate lying still." I mumbled.
"Percy, could you please keep an eye on Penelope?" the man asked.
"Sure, Chiron." Percy answered and Chiron and Annabeth went into another room.
When I looked Percy in the eye, I felt as if I knew him from somewhere but I was quite sure that I had not met him before today. Something inside me told me that I was wrong with this statement.
After a couple of minutes of awkward silence, Percy said, "I will be right back."
"Thanks for the warning."
Percy returned only moments later, as promised, carrying something in his hands.
Apollo's POV
"Why the smiling face, brother?" Artemis asked me.
"I feel a prophecy coming on."
She nodded, urging me to continue, and by now, everyone on Olympus was listening to me.
"A Big Three will have two children, a daughter and a son.
Together, they will lead a battle. Lives upon lives will be lost before it's done.
Couples will result of Aphrodite's work.
Things will be different from what they were.
A little girl's life will be at stake
With great powers still to wake."
Aphrodite smiled at the mention of her name.
Zeus said, "I do not think it is time to tell the demigods of this prophecy. Not yet anyway."
"Just say the word, Father, and Rachel will tell them."
Artemis said, "Yet another one, brother?"
"I think I will just keep this one in my head…"
"What is it of?" Hera questioned.
"Well…a certain uncle and sister of mine will not like this one very much…" I answered.
"Continue my son."
"Dating a rival is neither good nor bad.
It could make some quite mad.
In the case of two specific demigods,
It is good. Nothing will be lost."
I looked over at the uncle and sister I was referring to and saw that they both were very mad, as I had predicted.
Annabeth's POV
Chiron and I were standing in the kitchen of the Big House and he asked me, "Do you have any idea whose child she might be?"
"Not the slightest clue."
"When Penelope is up to it, we will place her in the Hermes cabin until she has been claimed."
"Of course, Chiron."
Percy came in at that point and said, "Annabeth, Chiron. I know who her parent is."
"Who?" I asked.
"Come and see." Percy teased.
Ugh. He knows how much I hate surprised. Then it dawned on me where she belonged.
How could I have been so stupid?
