Chapter 1
The curly red head leaned against the wall for support, breathing heavily. It wasn't every day you ran from a teenage boy possessed by an evil Titan lord.
She was trembling and tired. Sliding down the wall, she glanced at the others.
The stormy gray eyed, curly blonde girl had her head in her hands and her knees were pressed tightly against her chest. If you looked close enough, you could see tear drops falling onto her knees.
The curly red head, Rachel, turned her head uncomfortably and instead focused on a boy a away from the group.
He looked to be twelve, but in reality, was in his seventies. With black, untidy hair and completely black clothing and dark eyes, Rachel had to resist several temptations to call him emo.
His mood swings didn't help her cause.
Her gaze slipped away, before she actually did call him emo, and landed on the next person.
Sea green eyes and messy, brown hair made up the son of Poseidon and Rachel noticed his depressed aura. She moved on, wishing she could somehow lighten the mood, but didn't dare bother. She didn't want to end up with more enemies.
She observed the last two of the group.
Dark skinned and taller than the others, was a cyclops named Tyson. He didn't seem too hurt by the teen's betrayal and Rachel assumed he didn't know him as the others did.
The last was Grover, the satyr with small horns sprouting under his mass of hair. He looked mournful and Rachel couldn't tell if it was because his friend was possessed or if it was because the Lord of the wild had faded. Probably both.
Rachel stood observing the group like this for several minutes, until the son of Poseidon, Percy, stood up slowly. Checking over the group (Rachel noticed he stared at the blonde longer than she liked), seeing they were just shaken, said in a slight shaky voice , "We need to get going. Find a way out to warn..the camp."
Rachel closed her eyes, while everyone snapped out of their depressed state and stood.
When Percy made sure everyone was ready, he looked at Rachel and She nodded, before leading the group.
Rachel followed a golden light, one that was non-existent to the others, and hopefully a way out.
It was simple to Rachel, left, right, left..Rachel was at ease. Glad she was useful.
Despite everyone's exhaustion, they managed to walk for quite a while, Percy encouraging the others.
They were doing fine, no ambushes were led on them and Rachel was sure they could get probably make it to the center after a night's rest. Until they came across cross roads.
Rachel had no problem with cross roads, after all, the labyrinth was full of them, but the two paths in front confused her. She stopped and after arguing with herself for several minutes, she decided to just tell Percy.
"Percy? The two paths..their both lit."
It was silent and Rachel could see Percy wasn't expecting that. She waited patiently for an answer.
"Choose the brighter one."
It didn't surprise Rachel when the curly blond, Annabeth, spoke up. Considering Annabeth is a daughter of Athena and more intelligent then all of them combined, she took her advice.
She focused back on the paths. If she wasn't busy panicking, she was sure she would've noticed how one path shone brighter than the other.
Without time to hesitate, Rachel went down the right path, the group following behind.
They were twenty minutes in, when it came to a dead end. Rachel felt like just giving up right then and there. She wasn't nowhere as good as Percy at leading.
She leaned on the dead wall, only to recoil in shock when the wall moved away from her.
"Percy! Tyson help me, The wall is loose."
Much to Rachel's relief, they wordlessly joined her. She explained what happened and she watched as she saw Percy's eyes brighten.
They pushed on the wall and Rachel was quickly filled with hope and she pushed with eagerness.
It loosened with Percy and Tyson's help and Annabeth, Grover and Nico joined soon after.
They managed a crack they could all fit through and Rachel was filled as the small crevesse shed some light. Standing back, they admired their work, Percy breaking the silence.
"I'm going to check it out. Stay close behind."
He slid into the crevasse, Nico going next, followed by Grover. Annabeth next and Rachel last. They heard the faint grunt as Percy made it through the narrow crack at the end. Everyone followed and Rachel heard Annabeth gasp after making it through.
Rachel moved fast, falling out of the crevasse and being blinded by the sudden light.
Stumbling, she stood up and her mouth went agape when her vision cleared and gave way to hundreds of people at four tables, some standing with sticks pointed at them.
Annabeth snapped out of it first.
"Percy, This is most definitely not camp."
Me: Ta da! Anyway...that's the end of chapter 1!
Nix: Hoped you enjoyed! Hehe
Me & Nix: R&R!
