Well here you go, the second installment in the wonderfully screwed up lives of Mia and Claire. This one will hopefully tie up most loose ends and whatnots from the last one.

Prologue

Last summer two girls had just found out that they were siblings…twin sisters to be exact. They found out that there was a huge prophecy concerning the fate of the world that involved them. Where were they now? Well our story starts on separate sides of the country. From there our story will progress.

Claire

I punched the back of the Cyclops that was carrying me off to become his dinner. He was muttering to himself that he needed to check his Dijon mustard stock because you couldn't apparently eat descendants of the gods without it. He had smartly taken my sword and my knife so I was basically defenseless.

"Put me down." I tried to demand.

He let out a thunderous laugh, "And why would I do that?"

"Because I know your master and I'm pretty sure that he wouldn't be very happy if you roasted me with Dijon mustard." I said.

"You know my master?" he asked.

"Yes I do and I know for a fact that he wouldn't want you to eat me but he would want you to send me to him." I lied.

He put me down, "Well then who is my master?"

"Seth Jackson, I know him personally." I said.

The monster gaped at me, "You know Master Seth?"

I nodded, "Indeed I do and I know that he has a bounty out for me and my sister."

The Cyclops looked at me, "How much of a bounty?"

"A million drachma reward for whoever brings me and my sister to him." I said.

The Cyclops considered this for a moment, "Really is that so?"

I nodded, "That is absolutely the truth."

He rubbed his chin in contemplation, "So if I send you to him he will reward me?"

I nodded, "All you have to do is clap your hands and say Guido."

"Guido?" he asked.

I nodded, "Guido."

He grinned and clapped his hands I made a grab for my weapons just as he said Guido and a huge Pegasus swooped out of the sky allowing me to land on his back safely. Camp came into my view awhile later and of course waiting for me on the hill was James.

I landed Guido on the ground and James ran out to hug me, "You're safe."

"Yup completely safe no harm done." I smiled.

"I got an IM from Mia while you were gone; the Hunt is planning on stopping in today." James informed me.

I hadn't seen Mia in months. Mom and dad hadn't either. After all the shit that went down last summer Mia decided to hunt down Seth and try to convince him to come back. Nico had been trying to work with Mia because he found her worthy of his time but instead she ran off to find Seth.

I missed talking to Mia every day but I think she needed a little time away from camp. She hadn't touched a sword since last summer and mainly resulted to using her bow and arrows or her spear. She was broken, almost empty inside. I could tell just by looking at her. I knew she feels like she's failed Seth and let him down.

That was another thing that worried me. Seth wasn't planning anything at all lately. He hadn't done anything to raise and attack or try to even take over camp. We received the prophecy on our birthday which was the day after everything happened. Rachel kind of just spewed it out while we were opening our birthday presents. I was living with my mom and dad now but I still got to see Rachel quite often. Grover and Juniper would stop by and see if we had heard anything from Mia.

James wrapped his hand around mine and we walked down to the Big House together where Chiron was sitting there playing cards with Mr. D as usual. He said that we needed a break from thinking about this prophecy. He was hoping that if Mia could convince Seth to come back that maybe the prophecy would unravel and cancel itself out. Personally I doubted that. I knew that it was going to happen he didn't see Seth or hear what he said. Well honestly I didn't but Mia did and it had her shaken up.

"Claire you've made it back safe." He smiled.

I nodded, "I couldn't find anything that suggests he has an army moving towards camp."

"Nothing at all?" he asked.

I looked at Chiron, "No there was nothing at all that suggested an army. There was just a big stupid Cyclops."

"That's troubling; he has to be planning something he's working with Ethan. There's some form of revenge waiting for us." Chiron said.

Mr. D looked up from his Diet Coke, "Well Camille did you find anything worth while or did I just send you on a frivolous quest?"

"There was nothing sir and my name is Claire." I said through gritted teeth.

"Well then you didn't look hard enough." He snorted and went back to looking at his hand of cards.

"Dionysus I'm sure Claire did everything to her abilities to detect anything." Chiron said, "Claire why don't you go relax try to contact your sister."

Mia

"You were really stupid to come out here looking for me Mia."

I looked into his green eyes, "Well I came out here to offer you something."

Seth looked at me, "And what would that be, to come back with you and live happily ever after?"

I thrust my shield at him knocking him over, "No I came to offer you something if you returned."

"Returned so I can do exactly what my grandparents tell me to do? So I can do what they've always done to their heroes. Butter them all up and use them only to cast them aside until further notice. Is that what you want Mia?" he asked.

"No Seth. I want you to come back to camp where we all love and miss you. I want you to be there with me through this whole prophecy thing. I want you there because I care about you and these people don't!" I said.

"Mia you don't get it do you?" he asked.

"Get what Seth that you're being ridiculous?" I asked.

"That they're only using you. They wouldn't care if you died because of this prophecy." Seth sneered at me.

Seth was my best friend, or that's what he led me to believe last summer when I met him. In actuality he was just a cold hearted jackass who lied to me about everything.

"Seth please just come back with me, they'll welcome you back." I pleaded.

"I'm sorry Mia what they want isn't right. What I want should've happened a long time ago. This should've been done centuries ago." Seth said.

"Seth I don't want to be enemies, I want to work with you in the woods on the same stupid defense moves. You need to come back they just want to use you and then toss you aside when they're done with you." I begged.

Seth looked at me and shook his head, "You're so easily swayed Mia."

"These are things my dad is telling me. He's told me what it's like, he's told me how they are." I said my voice was trembling.

"Say I do come back with you; I still think that someone needs to put them in their places." Seth said.

I lowered my spear and shield and Seth lowered his sword. I didn't move but he took a step closer to me. He took another step closer to me cautiously and stood there. I didn't know if I could trust him so I had my Swiss army knife at the ready in my pocket if I needed it.

"Well then you don't have to, just be there for the people you love." I said.

Seth looked at me his eyes looked pained, "I don't think there's a way for me to get out."

"There always is Seth all you have to do is come back with me." I said.

That was when I woke with a start in my sleeping bag. I could hear something rustling around my camp. I grabbed my spear and waited for a moment to see if the rustling would stop. Unfortunately it didn't so I charged out of the tent only to find a boy with dark eyes staring back at me.

"Well I think this means that they want me back at camp then?" I asked him.

He grinned, "That's why they sent me here Mia."

I hugged him it had been ages since I had seen Nicky. Nico had introduced me to his family at my birthday. His wife Riley was really close with my mom and a bunch of my friends' moms so my mom was happy to see her. Nicky was their second son who happened to be my age.

"How did you find me?" I asked.

"My hellhound followed the scent of your Wonderstruck all the way from Seattle." He chuckled.

I could see his hellhound puppy Rebel chewing on a stick on the forest floor. Nicky looked exactly like his father and when I say exactly I mean it.

"Wow I think I should probably switch perfumes then." I laughed.

Nicky smiled, "Maybe you should. We need to get back to camp ASAP."

"Why is something wrong?" I asked.

Nicky shook his head, "Chiron wants you there for a meeting."

I nodded, "Do you mind helping me out here?"

Nicky shook his head, "Of course not."

Soon enough I was back at camp where Claire was waiting to give me a huge hug. She squealed when she saw me, "MIA!"

"Hey Claire….can't breathe….hugging too tight." I barely got that out.

Claire let go of me and smiled, "I'm sorry it's just I haven't exactly gotten to see you since our birthday."

"I know I'm sorry about that." I smiled.

"Come on go get settled we have to go to the meeting." Claire smiled.
