Chapter I
J.T.
I Do a Bit of Stalking and Gravity Takes Some Effect
Piper was watching Jason from afar.
He had been avoiding her lately and I honestly think she was trying to stalk him, but she claimed otherwise. So, I was, essentially, stalking Piper as she stalked Jason. She obviously had no idea I was there, that was kinda the whole point, but I was still hiding pretty far away.
I'm J.T. by the way. Or, really, J.T.T. James Troilus Treble, son of Apollo. My mom's Taylor Treble. I know, right? Yeah, it's not that impressive. But it helped her meet my dad.
Anyway, back to our story. After staring at him for what felt like forever to me, Piper took one last look at Jason and ran up the hill. I stared at her, then glanced at Jason. He shrugged and I nodded to him respectfully, then smoothed down my fiery red hair, adjusted the strap of the guitar case slung across my back, and followed Piper up the hill.
At the top of the hill, Piper looked around (I hid in a bush), and entered the cave that held our camp's oracle.
"Rachel?" Piper called out, her voice echoing across the cave.
Rachel ignored Piper and addressed me, which confused Piper even more. "James Troilus Treble, son of Phoebus Apollo, step forward to receive your prophecy."
Rachel's red hair flared like fire and her green eyes glowed as I slowly stepped forward.
"J.T?" Piper asked backing away. "What are you doing here?"
I ignored Piper, hoping that if I didn't look at her, she wouldn't make the connection that I had been following her. Green mist flowed out of Rachel's mouth and she spoke in a voice that seemed to come from everywhere, yet from nowhere at the same time.
"The fire, the beauty, and the sky shall raise;
The child of the one who was locked in the cage;
The son of Zeus must follow the song;
And the stars will return to where they belong."
Rachel collapsed and Piper and I got the heck out of there. Panting, we ran down the hill.
"What was that?" Piper gasped.
"Strangest prophecy I've ever heard," I admitted. Piper nodded in agreement.
"Let's not tell anyone," I said.
Piper looked up. "Why not?"
I shrugged, but she seemed to understand. We went down to the cabins and acted like it had never happened.
It was hard though. Whenever Piper and I saw each other we would exchange glances that basically said, "You didn't tell anyone, right?" "Of course not." We'd get some pretty weird looks, but it was worth it. We tried to avoid Chiron as much as possible as well. He might've tried to get the truth out of us. Everything worked pretty well for awhile. Until one day.
I had been completely minding my own business. I don't even remember exactly what I'd been doing. I sat in the middle of the clearing by the cabins, probably playing something on my guitar, and just as I started the song, a shadow passed over the sun and when I looked up, something very strange happened. A girl on a pegasus fell from the sky.
A/N: Sorry it's short. Next chapter's longer. Hope you liked it!
