Hey guys me and my friend Andy came up with this idea after he told me about his dream he had of Apollo. Long story short he had a dream about Apollo trying to molest him. Anyway here we are two hours later typing the first chapter of Athena's Forbidden Sea.
(Adam's POV)
I was leavening the dinning pavilion to go back to the Hermes cabin where all the unclaimed demigods go. As I was walking I remembered that Chiron had asked to see me after lunch so I turned around to walk all the way back and on to the big house. I went to walk in to see Grover chewing nervously on a napkin.
"Hey Grover what are you doing back so soon?" I asked him
"I bumped into a demigod out in New York and I think you might want to meet her." he told me pointing to a black haired grey eyed girl
(Alex's POV)
Stupid Lizzy and her rules.
"You can't be out of bed this late now go before you get kitchen duties." she told me
"But I….." I went to say only to be cute off
"No excuses now go." she told me and I went back into my assigned room
I had my bag packed and all I needed was a way out. It was around 2:20 am and I jumped out the window of my room. I ran with all my might to get away before my room mate notices. I started walking once I had reached Manhattan. The night was warm against my cold skin but it felt good. I looked up at the stars you couldn't really see them but it was still cool to look up. The buildings were so tall here. It was getting a little liter and I started running again. The farther I got the more I was worried they had noticed my absents. I slammed into a tree or so I thought it was.
"Ow." I said rubbing my nose were something a branch I was guessing hit me
I heard a bleep coming from what I hit. I jumped up startled.
"Who are you?" I asked
"Who am I? Who are you? You ran into me remember." the guy said
"Sorry." I said "But you were in my way." I told him
I reached my hand out to help him up. Then I saw his horns and yelped and jumped back and he fell again.
"What are you?" I asked him grabbing a stick and pointing it at him
He huffed and got up. "So you are one?" he said
"I am one what?" I asked him
"I knew I smelt one. You smell bad so you must be one." he said
I looked at him and smacked him up side the head with the stick.
"Ow." he said rubbing the red mark forming on his face.
"What is that supposed to mean what am I?" I asked him
He looked around before he spoke. "A demigod we need to get you to camp. Come on we only have two hours before the city and monsters wake and it will take five hours to get there on foot." he told me starting to walk off
"Wait what?' I asked him going after him
"Just come on we don't have time I will explain when we get to camp." he told me
"Wait are we walking there?" I asked him stopping
"Yeah how else are we going to get there?" he asked me turning around
I shook my head. "Come with me." I told him walking towards a parked car
"Please tell me we aren't stealing a car." he complained
I had already unlocked it and was trying to hot wire it before he got to the curb.
"Just get in or I will hit you until you do." I told him staring the car
He got in and looked at me.
"What?" I asked him
"You know how to hot wire a car?" he asked me
"Yeah you learn stuff like that in the orphanage." I told him
Pulling out of the curb and driving off. He told me where and when to turn and we made small talk. He asked where I lived before I left and I told him about the orphanage.
"Wait you said 10 years you have lived there?" he asked me
"Yeah why?" I asked him
"How old are you?" he asked me
"14 why?" I asked him
"WHAT STOP THE CAR." he yelled
"No. It has been a very safe hour and if you want out then I'm not stopping you" I told him
"Okay then Left here." he told me and I pulled on to a dirt road
"This is deserted are you sure we didn't miss a turn or something?" I asked him
"No." he told me
"Okay so what did you say your name was again?" I asked him
"Grover, and yours?" he asked me
"Alexandria, but every one calls me Alex. And I suggest you do the same." I told him
"Okay then." he told me
"Stop." he told me and I did so
He got out and I fallowed.
"Where are we going that is all woods. There is nothing there." I told him then when I got up the hill I seen a camp.
"Wow." was all I said
"This Alex is camp half-blood." he told me and we walked down the hill
We walked down the hill I had my bag on my shoulder. As we walked threw I seen kids running around and some where fighting with swords.
"Are they aloud to do that?" I asked him
"Yeah you could die without fighting around here." he told me
We walked onto a wrap around porch that had a table on the side of it. We walked into the house and Grover had me sit down at a ping pong table. Then he went down a hall way.
"It's a special case Chiron she has a strong sent stronger than Percy I didn't think that was possible but she smells similar to Adam." I heard Grover tell him as he came down the hall way with a centaur.
"Okay we will speak of this later." Chiron told Grover
"So Alex is it welcome to camp half-blood. Have you ever been attacked by monsters before?" he asked
"No why should I have been?" I asked him not trusting him
"That is vary odd well anyway let me go get some papers for you." he said heading down the hall way again
Grover sat on the couch chewing on a napkin. I heard someone walk in and I turned to see a boy with sea green eyes and brown hair.
"Hey Grover what are you doing back so soon?" he asked Grover
"I bumped into a demigod out in New York and I think you might want to meet her." he told him and pointed towards me.
"Hi, I'm Adam." he told me
I just turned away. I felt sick. I knew him and I didn't want to talk to him.
"Okay then. What's her problem?" he asked Grover
"Don't know. She seems upset though." he told Adam
I felt like I was going to be sick and got out of my chair and almost knocked Adam over. I ran to the railing and threw up water. It tasted nasty and it hurt to throw up. After I was done I felt hands on my shoulders.
"You okay you look sick?" a guy asked me
He had Black hair like mine but sea green eyes like Adam. A girl glared at him with sharp grey eyes like mine but blondish brown hair like Adam.
"Percy she was getting sick does that strike you as alright?' the girl asked him
"I was just asking Annabeth." Percy told her
"Sorry he can be a seaweed brain sometimes." she told me then gasped
"Alex are you okay?" Adam asked coming out the door
"Yeah, I'm fine Adam." I told him
Annabeth was still looking at me with a wired expression.
"What?" I asked her in a tiered voice
"Have you been claimed yet?" she asked me
"What do you mean claimed?" I asked her
"By your parent." Percy said
That hit a sour spot. I felt like tears were going to start falling if I answered but I did anyway.
"My parents don't care about me they left me when I was five years old at an orphanage. I can't really remember them but when they left they looked happy that I was gone. They never cared what happened to me so what I don't need them I don't care if I am claimed or not." I told them my hands clenching into fist and I put my head down so I could look at the ground
"Alex that's not true and you know that." Adam said from the door way
"You wouldn't know Adam you haven't lived your life by your self getting picked on or beat up all the time." I told him
"Your parents loved you but they couldn't keep you or…" he started but stopped
"Or what Adam. And how do you know they couldn't keep me?" I asked him
"Just never mind. Forget it." he told me and walked back into the house
"Yeah just for get it." I told myself
"Well you look like an Athena child excepted for the black hair that is." Annabeth told me
"Yeah thanks." I told her and walked back into the house
Chiron gave me my schedule and had Adam show me around camp. He told me where everything was and showed me to the Hermes cabin witch was where he stayed and is where I would be staying until I got claimed.
"Dinner starts in an hour. Be back here or go to the pavilion we will be there." he told me
I just threw my stuff down on a bed in the vary back of the room away from everyone else and went out side. I walked threw the woods until I reached fire works beach and sat down in the sand I had always felt peaceful by the ocean.
"Mom or dad if you are licensing I need some help. Why did you give me up? Why didn't you keep me?" I asked letting the tears fall as the salt water air pushed my hair around all over the place.
"Alex is that you?" I heard someone say
I wiped my face. "Yeah. What is it?" I asked
"What's wrong?" he asked me then I noticed it was Percy
"I just don't know what to do and the water is calming." I told him feeling the tears building up again
"Yeah it calms me down when I'm having a bad day to. Do you want to talk about it?" he asked me
I shook my head unable to answer the tears started falling again. I pulled my legs up to chest and wrapped my arms around them and cried. I felt someone sit next to me and hug me.
"Hey, you don't need to cry Alex everything is going to be all right okay you just need to believe me okay." he told me
"Thanks Percy." I told him still crying but trying to calm down
I heard foot steps behind us and Percy's head turned.
"What happened is she okay?" some one asked
"Just a mental breakdown Annabeth nothing the sea can't fix." he told her
"Okay then why are you still on land?" she asked
"Ummm…. Why are we still on land?" he asked
"Because you have a girl that loves the sea but doesn't know how to swim sitting on your lap." I told him wiping my face off
"Do what now?" he asked me
"I don't know how to swim." I told him
"How can someone not know how to swim?" he asked
"Because said person almost drowned once and has never gotten back into the water in fear of drowning again." I told him
"You wont drown when I'm with you don't worry you will be fine. Hey Annabeth do you have an extra bathing suit she could use. I need to teach this girl how to swim and you are coming swimming to." he told her
"Yeah, come on Alex lets go get you a swim suit." she told me and we walked towards the Athena cabin
(Adam's POV)
Crap, crap, crap! Where was she? Come on Adam think okay if you had a hard day then where would you go? The water! I told myself in my head
I almost blew it into smoke today. I can't believe I almost old her about us! Gods I'm stupid. I went running towards the sea and seen her in the water with Annabeth and Percy. It was after dinner and none of them had come it worried me. I mean how can you not be worried about you sister especially your twin sister. I mean come on I had finally found her after all these years I am not going to loose her again but she can't know.
"Alex!" I yelled out waving my hands
She looked my way and then turned around.
"Don't make me come in there Alexandria!" I yelled out
"Don't call me that Adam!" she yelled back
"Come on I need to talk to you!" I yelled to her
"No way Adam!" she yelled back
"Alright you asked for it!" I yelled out and took off my shirt and shoos running into the water.
I swam half way out and then was pulled under. Something was pulling me under but it wasn't Percy. It was a net with a dolphin pulling on it . I tried o get my foot free but I couldn't get it. I seen Percy swimming towards me then he seen my problem went back up yelled something and came back down with riptide in his hands. I was being pulled down deep and finally seen why. Their was a sea turtle stuck in a fishing net the dolphin stopped in front of it and I helped get the turtle free then my vision started going in and out. The last thing I seen was Percy trying to get my foot free.
(Alex's POV)
"Adam!" I yelled out after he got pulled under and didn't come back up
"Annabeth get her to the beach I will push you with the water until you get there." Percy told her
"Come on Alex." Annabeth grabbed my arm and we were being pushed out of the water.
When we got on shore Percy dove down and then came back up.
"Throw me Riptide!" he yelled and Annabeth got Riptide out of his pants pocket and tossed it to him he caught it and dove back under
"Oh Gods please let him be okay." Annabeth said
I went to get back in the water but Annabeth grabbed me. "I need to help him he will drowned." I told her trying to get out of her grip
"Alex Percy is the son of Poseidon he wont let him drown." she told me
I stopped struggling and just fell to my knees. Annabeth came with me wrapping her arms around me. It had been five minutes and then Percy came up with a limp Adam.
"Adam!" I yelled and got out of Annabeth's grip.
I helped Percy get him out of the water. "Annabeth go get Chiron tell him he's not breathing hurry." Percy told her
"Come on Adam." I told him starting to cry
"Alex I need you to give me some room okay I'm going to try to move the water out of his lungs." Percy told me
I put Adam on his side and sat by his face. "Okay go." I told him
Percy was concentrating hard.
"Please work. Come Adam I can't loose you to please live." I told him tears rolling down my cheeks
"It's not working there is to much water I can't get it out with out bursting his lungs." Percy said frustrated
"Percy!" I heard Annabeth yell
"Over here!" he yelled
"Come on Adam you can't die on me okay. Your the last family member I have." I whispered to him crying even harder
I seen five kids and Chiron running towards us. One of the guys tried to move me but I wouldn't budge .
"Alex you need to move or they can't do their job to save him." Percy told me
Percy pulled me away from Adam and I cried. Percy pulled me towards him and wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't turn away. I couldn't see what they were doing either. I fell to the ground pulling Percy with me. I felt Annabeth put her arms around me to.
"Hades don't take my brother away. Please I don't want to be alone anymore." I said I didn't care if anyone heard me at this point.
"He's breathing!" someone yelled
"We need to get him to the infirmary like now." someone else said
"Alex, did you hear that he is going to be fine everything is going to be okay." Percy told me
"Alex, Percy, and Annabeth to the big house now." I heard Chiron say
"Come on Alex we need to go. He is going to be fine I promise." Percy said
I still cried but not as bad as I was before.
"What were you all doing out there?" Chiron asked us
"I was teaching Alex how to swim and then Adam comes and he is pulled under water by a dolphin and he had his foot stuck in a net and by time I got down there he was unconscious so I had to untangle the net and then bring him back up and now we are here." Percy said
Annabeth nodded in agreement I just sat there looking at the floor.
"Alex would you like to tell your side of the story?" Chiron asked me
I shook my head no.
"She is still a little shaken about the whole thing. Could she come stay in my cabin so she doesn't have people asking her questions about what happened?" Percy asked
"Under these circumstances yes she can but only for a week then she is back in the Hermes cabin until she is claimed." Chiron said
"Can I go see my brother now?" I asked in a whisper
"What was that?" Chiron asked me
I lifted my head up " I want to see my brother when can I see him?" I asked getting shocked looks from everyone but Percy.
"Who's your brother?" Chiron asked me
"Adam is her brother." Percy answered for me
"Wait what? They look nothing alike how can that be?" Annabeth asked
"Different traits for two vary different people. Adam is more like his mom and Alex is more like her dad. That is how this is possible." Percy said sounding smart
"How did you know?" I asked him
"Adam told me a couple months back when we went to New York together looking for you." Percy told me
"So Adam knows?" I asked him
"Yeah but he still hasn't been claimed and he has been here sense he was four so your parents got rid of you when they got rid of him. No one knows who are your parents." he told me
"Wait hold on so they are siblings but how is that they look like two totally different Gods?" Annabeth asked
"I don't know Adam doesn't understand that either. Adam was brought here by his mom and Alex was took to…..where did you come from?" Percy asked me
"An orphanage." I told him
"Okay well she was took there by their dad so we aren't sure who they are." Percy said
Chiron was silent this whole time taking in the information as it came. He watched me intently and it made me uncomfortable.
"Can I go see my brother now?" I asked
"Yes, you can go see him then you must leave to go get your stuff and go to the Poseidon cabin with Percy." Chiron said
"Thanks." I asked and walked into Adam's room in the infirmary
"Hey Adam. How are you feeling?" I asked him
"My lungs hurt like Hades but other than that I should be fine." he told me
"Good. So you know?" I asked him
"Know what?" he asked me
"About us being twins?" I asked him
"Who told you?" he asked me
"Know one told me I knew that I had a twin and I knew what he looked like then I seen you and just knew it was you." I told him
"I missed you Alex." he told me
"I missed you two Adam." I told him
"Come here." he told me and sat up leaving room for me to sit down by him
I walked over to him and sat down in his bed. He stretched out his arms and I gave him a hug.
"You scared the living Hades out of me you know." I told him
"Yeah well someone's got to every once in a while. I bet you will scare me one of these days to." he told me
"You know it." I told him
"Hey, Alex you ready curfew is in twenty minutes and we need to get you stuff." Percy told me
"Yeah I'll be there in a minute." I told him
He nodded and walked out.
"Go a head I'll be here. See you at lunch tomorrow?" he asked me
"Maybe." I told him and left
Me and Percy got my stuff and went to his cabin. He gave me a bottom bunk underneath Tyson's bed.
"You might get to meet Tyson tomorrow. He is a Cyclops so don't scream when you see him it hurts his feelings." Percy told me
I climbed into bed and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and had a nightmare. It started out at the beach. It was raining and vary windy out. The seen shifted to a thrown room and people were yelling at each other.
"How could this have happened?" someone yelled
"They could put and end to the Gods if we let them live!" someone else yelled
"You can't kill them they don't even know who they are!" a woman yelled
"We can't let them know who they are or what they are capable of!" someone else yelled
"You leave my children alone or I swear I will hurt you!" a man yelled
"They must be destroyed!" some one else yelled
Then it shifted two the beach again and two people where fighting. A man and a woman.
"Stop it!" I yelled
"Stay out of my way or I will have to kill you." the woman said
"They must be killed!" the man said
Two more people came into sight. Two more guys one went to the girls side and the other the mans side.
"Leave our children alone they have done nothing wrong." the man shouted
"Nothing yet! You know they wont choose right!" the other guy yelled
"They are my children and you will not harm them!" the woman yelled
"Stop don't hurt each other!" I yelled
Then I seen Adam he was dieing and I was leaning over him.
"Adam!" I screamed
"Alex wake up it's a dream wake up!" I heard some one yelling and shaking me
I woke up and seen Percy leaning over me shaking me. I started to cry and Percy pulled me to the floor and I curled into a ball on his lap.
"Shhhh Alex it was just a dream no one will hurt you or Adam okay. It's all going to be okay." Percy told me
I couldn't stop crying. It all had seemed so real. Who where those people and who where they talking about? It felt like they were talking about me and Adam. I felt my eyes start to close and I felt myself falling back to sleep.
(Percy's POV)
I was woken up by screaming. Not a good way to wake up. I jumped out of bed and seen Alex thrashing around in her bed.
"Alex." I said
She yelled "Stop don't hurt each other!" and I went to wake her up before she woke uup the whole camp with her yelling
"Alex wake up it's just a dream!" I yelled shaking her
She opened her eyes and started crying. I pulled her onto the floor and she curled up into a ball in my lap. She kept cry and was starting to shake from how hard she was crying.
"Shhhh Alex it was just a dream no one will hurt you or Adam okay. It's all going to be okay." I told her
Her crying started to get quieter and I looked down at her. Great she is asleep. I looked at the clock it said 5:45am. I leaned my head back agents the wall and decided to go back to sleep for that 25 minutes.
"Percy." I heard some one say and I opened my eyes and looked towards the door
"Hey Annabeth what's up?" I asked in a tiered voice yawning
"You two look like crap what happened?" she asked me
"Bad dreams. Involving screaming and yelling. She woke me up so I woke her up and she started crying then she fell back asleep like this and I went back to sleep not wanting to wake her again." I told her
"I see. You do know what time it is right?" she asked me
"Yeah it's…." I started to say then looked at the clock
"Crap." I said it was 1:20pm
"Yeah Chiron sent me looking for you guys. Adam has been freaking out because he couldn't fine you guys and no one was answering the door but I have the right to just walk in cuz I am just the amazing so Chiron sent me to look." she told me
"Great now Adam is probably going to kill me." I said
"Yeah more than likely come on we have Capture the flag tonight and we need to get ready." she told me
I felt Alex start waking up. She looked at me then at Annabeth.
"So I wasn't dreaming was I?" she whispered
I smiled "Nope come on Adam is going to beat me up and I would like to get it over with." I told her and she got up
"Hey Annabeth." she said
"That is the second time I have seen you in my boyfriends lap. Lets not make a habbit of it please." Annabeth said joking around
"Yeah, yeah he is all yours he's not my kind of guy to much seaweed in his head." Alex told her
They started laughing at me
"Hey, not funning now go get dressed or something Annabeth I will meet you out side give me five minutes." I told her
Annabeth walked out and Alex walked into the bathroom to get ready. I grabbed my camp half-blood shirt and jeans and got dressed.
"Percy?" I heard Alex yell from the bathroom.
"Yeah Alex?" I asked
"Can you bring me my bag?" she asked
"Sure why?" I asked looking for her bag
"Girl problems." she said
"I really didn't want to know that Alex." I told her
"Then you shouldn't have asked." she said
"What ever." I said
"Could you be any slower?" she asked me
"I can't find it where did you put it?" I asked her
"It should be there look under the bed." she said
I got onto the floor. "Not here I see you grey bag but not you blue one." I told her
"Crap, I must have left it in the Athena cabin when I went there yesterday can you go get Annabeth to get it for me please?" she asked
I walked out the door. Annabeth was standing there waiting for us.
"Hey Annabeth can you go get Alex's blue bag from your cabin?" I asked her
"Yeah sure why does she need it?" she asked me
"Girl problems." I told her
"Let me talk to her." she said and walked back into my cabin
I fallowed her back in and she walked into the bathroom. I could hear them talking.
"Where did you put you blue bag?" Annabeth asked
"I think I left it in your cabin by your bed yesterday and I really need it." Alex said
"Okay so you have stuff for your problem in it?" Annabeth asked
"Yeah." Alex said then Annabeth walked out
"I got it just stay here." Annabeth said and walked out
"So are you okay?" I asked Alex
"No that is a really stupid question Percy." she said
"What's your favorite color?" I asked her
"Blue." she said
"So is mine. Have you ever had a blue cookie?" I asked her
"No what's a blue cookie?" she asked me
"A cookie with blue food coloring in it. My mom makes the best blue cookies you could ever have." I told her
"Oh cool." she said
"Sorry forgot." I said
"It's fine." she said and then Annabeth walked in and went into the bath room.
"Okay are we ready to go?" I asked after Alex came out of the bathroom
"Yep now let's go I want to see my brother." she told me
"Then lets go watch me get my butt kicked by him to." I said and we walked out
We walked to the archery rang where Adam would be getting out of in two minutes. We waited then he came out.
"Adam over here!" Alex yelled
Adam came over to us.
"Where have you two been all day it's almost dinner time?" Adam asked
"They have been sleeping." Annabeth told him
"All day?" Adam asked
"Talk to miss scream all night and scaring the crap out of me at 5:45 this morning." I said pointing towards Alex
"I had a nightmare it's not my fault." Alex said
"What happened in your dream?" Adam asked
Alex told us about her dream. She described everything but the people who where fighting.
"Could it be the Gods fighting?" Annabeth asked
"Could be but who were they fighting about?" Adam asked
Alex looked down. I went to asked but the conch horn blew and we headed to dinner. Chiron announced the teams for capture the flag and the leaders. One was Athena and the other was Hermes.
"We need to plan after dinner." Annabeth mouthed to me
Nico and the hunters had came and they were on our side.
After dinner Annabeth introduced Thalia and Nico to Alex and Adam.
"Hi I'm Alex and this is Adam." Alex told them
"Annabeth have they been claimed yet?" Thalia asked her
"No why?" Annabeth said
"Alex looks like Athena and Adam looks like Poseidon." Thalia said
Nico just looked at them. "So these kids are what my father is fussing about? They look harmless." Nico said
"They are siblings twins actually so you must be wrong Thalia." Annabeth said
I looked over towards Alex and Nico they were having a stare down.
"What's your problem?" Nico asked her
"I don't like you." Alex said
"Whatever your not worth my time." Nico said
"Your just scared that I could beat you up." Alex said and Nico grabbed the hilt of his sword.
"Okay you two brake it up." I said before someone got hurt
"Come on Adam lets go see the plan for capture the flag." Alex said and they left
"What was that about?" I asked him
"I don't really know." Nico said
"Okay then let's go plan." I said and we went to go plan
(Alex's POV)
Adam and I walked into the mess hall to see what they had come up with I was looking it over and it said " Ares rush left, Hermes straight, Demeter and Hestia scattered threw the forest. Guarding the flag is Leo, Piper, Clarisse and Sammie. Aphrodite left guard, front guard Iris, and Hephaestus is right guard."
"This isn't right." I said
"Adam take a look at this." I told him and he read threw it
"No this wont work. You need Ares and Hestia to rush left and Iris need to sit on the creeks edge." Adam said getting every ones attention.
"Yeah and you need to have Aphrodite's to charge forward and Adam and I can take on Percy and Annabeth while the Demeter cabin scatter threw the woods and Hephaestus mid front line of woods with Hermes in back line towards the flag with Leo, Piper, Clarisse and Sammie guarding it." I finished
"That could work. I mean Demeter would have the upper hand with all the plants around and it would have the highest of numbers back towards the flag so more protection for it." Clarisse said
"Well lets do it." some one said
"I can't believe Athena hasn't claimed you yet Alex you would make her proud." Sammie said
"Thanks." I told her and then we got into our positions.
The horn blew starting the game. Adam and I started forward I didn't see Annabeth until I felt a presents behind me. I round kicked and the person fell to the ground and then Annabeth's hat fell off and she was visible. She brought out her knife and I brought out my dagger that I had gotten from Adam. She got up and came swinging I side stepped her first blow getting my feet kicked out from under me. I blocked a hit with my dagger as her knife came down I kicked up and hit her ribs. I jumped up and went to get her but she cute my right hand. It hurt really bad like worse then it should have. I started feeling sick and my vision was getting blurry.
"What the….." is started to say then I fell to the floor and blacked out
(Annabeth's POV)
Oh my Gods!
"Alex are you okay?" asked her getting on my knees
She didn't answer me.
"Oh my Gods Alex come on wake up!" I yelled at her
Nothing her breathing was starting to get shallow and she started getting pale.
"Percy!" I yelled and looked over to him he was fighting Adam.
"Percy, Adam it's Alex I need help!" I yelled to them
They stopped fighting and came running over to us.
"What happened?" Adam asked me
"I cut her hand and then she fell now she is like this." I told him
"Percy do you think you could heal her in the water?" Adam asked
"Yeah help me get her there." Percy said
Percy and Adam picked her up and started to carry her towards the creek. Adam stepped in then Percy. The three of them where in the water when the horn blew signaling that someone had won.
I looked to see who won and the Hermes cabin won but everyone stopped celebrating when they seen Alex. Percy and Adam set her in the water and Adam kept a holed of her while Percy went to grab her hand to heal it. Her hand started healing its self before Percy even grabbed it. Alex started coughing. And her eyes shot open she turned back to her regular color.
"What in Poseidon's name?" Percy asked then Alex and Adam were claimed.
A symbol I had never seen before popped above their heads. An owl sitting on a trident. The symbol of Athena and Poseidon showed over their heads.
Every one bowed except for me, Percy, Thalia, Nico and Chiron. Thunder cracked as the symbol was formed over their heads.
"Children of Athena and Poseidon." Chiron announced
"Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Thalia, Adam, and Alex big house now. The rest of you to your cabins congratulations to the Hermes cabin for their win we will celebrate at a latter date." Chiron said
I helped Adam with Alex while every one else walked a head of us.
"So what just happened back there?" Adam asked
"You were just claimed by my mother and Percy's father so I guess you guys are our siblings." I told him
"Okay, well sorry." Adam said
"What are you sorry about?" I asked him
"You sounded upset so I felt the right thing to say was sorry." he said and we walked the rest of the way in silence.
We made it to the big house we all sat around the ping pong table.
"So would someone like to explain to me what just happened out there?" Thalia asked
"So this is why my dad has been freaking out about them." Nico said
"Wait what do you mean Hades knew about this?" Percy asked
"Yeah when ever new life is formed he is alerted and he knows who the parents are as well as the children. That is kind of why I am here to see what they were like and report back to my dad so he can go to Olympus and tell them." Nico said
"So that way Olympus and they were fighting about us." Alex said
"Wait what?" Nico asked
"I had a dream about it that is the nightmare I had last night. People were yelling at each other they were saying " "How could this have happened?" someone yelled
"They could put and end to the Gods if we let them live!" someone else yelled
"You can't kill them they don't even know who they are!" a woman yelled
"We can't let them know who they are or what they are capable of!" someone else yelled
"You leave my children alone or I swear I will hurt you!" a man yelled
"They must be destroyed!" some one else yelled
Then it shifted to the beach and two people where fighting. A man and a woman.
"Stop it!" I yelled at them
"Stay out of my way or I will have to kill you." the woman said
"They must be killed!" the man said
Three more people came into sight. Two more guys and a girl. Two went to the girls side and the other the mans side.
"Leave our children alone they have done nothing wrong." the man shouted
"Nothing yet! You know they wont choose right!" the other guy yelled
"They are my children and you will not harm them!" the woman yelled
"Stop don't hurt each other!" I yelled at them.
Then Percy woke me up. So they were talking about us I kind of suspected they were but I wasn't as sure as I am now." Alex told them
"That would make sense I mean you two weren't even suppose to be born any way your parents are rivals they don't like each other." Chiron said
"Well then how did they happen?" Thalia asked
A blinding light entered the room we covered our eyes and then I opened them and seen Lady Artemis standing there.
"I have come to explain why they are here." Artemis said "Athena sent me she would have came herself but she is fighting to keep them alive right now and she didn't want Poseidon to come down here and screw something up as she puts it. She is sorry to put you two in the middle of this but it was out of her control." Artemis told us
"So what are we in the middle of and why are they trying to kill us?" Adam asked her
"Zeus thinks it would be better if you were gone much like he did with Percy. He is paranoid I guess you could say he is worried because Apollo said they could take down the Gods with the power the two hold. You see Alex here is much like Percy here can do anything he can but much more and has the smarts of Athena and can battle like Annabeth can but twice as smart. Adam can control the water and everything else but he can't breath under it like Percy and Alex can. But he is good at fighting and vary smart like Annabeth. He has great power that he hasn't discovered yet." Artemis told us
"Alex are you felling okay?" Percy asked her I looked at her and she looked pale
"She needs water until her hand is completely healed." Artemis said
"I'll get it." Nico said
"Why does she need water and why is her hand affecting her that way?" Percy asked
"That is her weak point. You see if she doesn't have water on it until it heals she could die in a matter of minutes if it doesn't get water. Adam yours is the same way excepted your is your left hand were Alex's is her right hand." Artemis said
"Great so how am I supposed to have water with us at all times?" Adam asked
Nico walked in with the water and set it on the table Alex pulled the water out of the cup and made it wrap around her hand like a cocoon.
"Easy enough." she said
"Whatever show off." Percy said with a smile
"Your just jealous cuz it took you two months to learn how to do this." Alex said
"Your life force is returning to normal now." Nico said
"What ever death boy." Alex said
"Fish face." Nico said
"Hey." the three Poseidon children said at the same time
"Well I must be getting back but before I go I must speak with Alex privately for a moment." Artemis said
Alex got up and walked into another room with Artemis.
"So now what do we do?" I asked
"More importantly what cabin do they stay in?" Percy asked
"Well I know Alex likes the Poseidon cabin so now all there is would be Adam. What cabin would you like to stay in Adam?" I asked him
"I would like to stay in the Athena cabin with Annabeth. I mean I like my sister but I couldn't stand living with that." Adam said gesturing to Percy
"What ever." Percy said crossing his arms
"Okay Adam lets go get your stuff after Alex gets back." I told him
Alex came back out with a piece of paper in her hand and pale face.
"What happened?" Adam asked
"Nothing and I just got a quest from Artemis she said to go see the oracle what ever that is." she said shoving the piece of paper in her pocket.
"Okay she is in a cave Percy would you show her and when she gets done come back here. Annabeth you and Adam go get his stuff and get him moved into the Athena cabin then come back." Chiron said
(Alex's POV)
"So what did Artemis want?" Percy asked
"Nothing just don't worry about it. Who who's the oracle?" I asked him trying to change the subjected
"Her name is Rachel she is one of my friends she helped me and Annabeth threw the years. But you can't talk to Annabeth about her it's kind of a sour spot I guess." Percy told me
We walked the rest of the way in silence. Well for the most part I fell and hit my face. I scraped up my cheek and that was bleeding.
"Are you okay?" Percy asked me
"Ow." I said getting up and touching my burning cheek I seen blood on my fingers that I touched on my cheek
"Oh Gods are you bleeding?" Percy said
"No it's just red water Percy." I said
I got up and we kept walking Percy looking at my bleeding cheek and trying to touch it the hole way there.
"Here it is." Percy said and walked in
I walked in after him and seen a girl with frizzy red hair painting a picture of me bending over someone she was to busy coloring me in to finish the other person.
"Don't finish that picture." I told her
She looked at me like she just noticed me.
"Hey you're the girl from my vision. Alex right?" she asked standing up
"Yeah I came to get a prophecy for this quest that I am suppose to go on and I don't know how to get it. Artemis said to say something about a fight between the Gods or something like that." I said
Green smoke came out of her mouth and her eyes turned a bright green color and in an old voice she said "Eight shall go to face the attack, but only four will come back, two beings of vicious might will give into four weaker, child of Poseidon will prevail, when all else fails, you must go west, to finish this quest, war is around the been, will you survive till the end." then the sickly green smoke went away and she went to fall but Percy caught her. I was to stunned to move.
"I think that was your prophecy Alex. And why can't I finish my picture?" she asked me
"Because I know how it ends." I said and started to walk out
"Alex." Percy said
"Sorry got to go Rachel talk to you later" Percy told her and came after me
I was half way down the hill when he grabbed my shoulder.
"Alex hold on Prophecy's have double meanings. And what did you mean you know how her painting ends?" he asked me
"I seen it in my dream Percy I know how it ends." I told him
"Alex what happened why where you crying in that picture who was that you were leaning over?" he asked me
"I don't want to talk about it Percy okay so just drop it." I told him
"But…." he started
"I said to drop it!" I yelled at him
"Your face is still bleeding." he said and I touched it
"Hades that burns!" I yelled
"And you say I'm the seaweed brain." he said and we walked into the room
When we walked in every one was looking at me.
"What happened to your face?" Adam asked me
"I fell." I answered quickly
"Okay, then why didn't you stop your self with your hands?" he asked me
"I really didn't want to pass out." I told him
"Okay, so what did Rachel say?" Chiron asked me
"She said " Eight shall go to face the attack, but only three will come back, two beings of vicious might will give into three weaker, child of Poseidon will prevail, when all else fails, you must go west, to finish this quest, war is around the been, will you survive till the end."" I told them
"That is pretty self explanatory some one is going to die and it is most likely Alex." Nico said
"Nico!" Annabeth, Thalia, and Percy said all at the same time
"I don't care." I said and sat down by Adam
"What does "Two beings of vicious might will give into seven weaker mean?" Annabeth asked
"Don't know. Percy I will meet you in the cabin later okay." I told him then walked out
I was walking in the dark threw the woods heading to the beach when I ran into someone. Like he latterly slammed into me.
"Ow!" I yelled
"Sorry, sorry!" he yelled
"Why where you running?" I asked him
"Monster was chasing me a voice told me to keep running until I reached camp am at a camp?" he asked
"Yeah camp half-blood." I said getting up
"Who are you?" he asked
"I am Alex child of Athena and Poseidon. And you are?" I asked him putting my hand out to help him up
"Lucas but every one calls me Luke son of Hades at least that is what my mom told me." he told me taking my hand it was ice cold
"Do you want to see the prettiest sight in camp?" I asked him
"Yeah sure." he said
We started walking threw the woods. We made it to fireworks beach and climbed the highest cliff and sat on it watching the moon rise.
"So Luke where are you from?" I asked him
"I'm from Ohio my mom passed about a month ago but before she passed she told me who my dad was and how to get to camp. So I have trying to get here this hole time." he told me
"Sorry about your mom." I said
"It's fine so where are you from?" he asked me
"I am from an orphanage out in New York. My mom is Athena and my dad is Poseidon. I have a twin brother that I just met named Adam and I have nothing else really to say. How old are you?" I asked him
"15 years of age next week. What about you?" he asked me
"14 years of age for three more months." I told him
"I knew you would be up here Alex. It's two hours past curfew and I got worried so I came looking for you." I heard Percy say
I looked back and Percy was half way up the cliff so I stood up and helped Luke up. Percy stopped in his tracks.
"Alex who is that?" he asked me
"This is Luke son of Hades I ran into him on my way up here." I told him
Percy climbed the rest of the way up here and got in front of me blocking Luke from seeing me.
"Percy don't be mean." I said
"Alex go to the cabin." Percy told me
"No your not my boss you are barley even my brother." I told him shoving him out of my way
"Percy did you find her?" I heard someone yell
"Yeah guys we are up here!" he yelled down
"Who else did you bring?" I asked him
"I brought Nico, Annabeth and Adam. They wanted to help find you." he told me
"Gods I swear." I said
"Sorry about all this Luke come on let me introduce you to the people I have been telling you about." I told him and started walking down the hill
I heard foot steps behind me and looked Theo was behind me with Percy walking behind him looking pissed.
"Who's that Alex?" Adam asked me
"Guys this is Lucas son of Hades." I said
Annabeth looked at Nico and Nico was looking at Luke.
"Son of Hades." Adam said
"What do you think Percy?" Annabeth asked
"I don't like him." Percy yelled
"Gods come on Luke." I said and grabbed Luke's arm and dragged him passed everyone and threw the wood we went.
"Do you know how to shadow travel?" I asked him
"Yeah I know how. Why?" he asked me
"Lets go to the big house." I said and then I was sucked into darkness
(Adam's POV)
"Alex!" I yelled trying to find her for the second time tonight I was right behind her then she was gone with the Luke guy.
"Where did she go?" Percy asked me
"I don't know they just vanished." I said
"He shadow traveled." Nico said
"Where did they go?" I asked him
"Right now they are in New York but he is trying to go to the big house." he said
"Okay lets go there." Annabeth said
"Okay." I sad and we took off towards the big house.
(Alex's POV)
"Okay that didn't work out vary well we are in New York. Let's try again." I told him
"Okay give me a second." he said and we tried again
We made it to the porch and everyone was there sitting at the ping pong table. We walked in and I was being glared at by Percy, and Adam.
"Hello everyone nice night." I said
"Come sit now." Adam told me
I sat down and left Luke standing by the door Percy was still glaring at him.
"Percy stop it." Annabeth said
"You know Percy you should take a picture it last longer." I told him
That got him to turn away. "So who all is going on the quest you need to pick eight people." Percy told me
"Okay I choose, Annabeth, Percy, Thalia, Grover, Luke, Adam, Piper, and myself. Any questions? No, okay by going to bed." I told them
Percy got up and fallowed me out the door.
"What do you want Percy?" I asked him
"Are you insane?" he asked me
"Maybe a little why do you ask?" I asked
"Because you are taking that Luke guy. You barley know him." Percy told me
"I barley know you and you are coming with me. I Barley know anyone in the room but I am taking them." I said turning my self around
"That's not the point." Percy said
"Then what is the point Percy? Please enlighten me." I told him crossing my arms
No answer. It was dead silent outside the wind was blowing and the moon shone bright in the sky.
"Exactly Percy see you don't get it I needed eight people and I choose the eight people that I know. I may not know them vary well but I know them and what they stand for. Someone is more than likely going to die on this quest but I can't control that." I told him
"Why did you tell Rachel to stop drawing the picture she was drawing earlier?" Percy asked me for the second time today
"Your still on that Percy really?" I asked him turning away
"You said you knew how it ended what did you mean by that?" he asked me
"I'm going to bed and I think you should do the same." I told him walking in the cabin
I got into bed and fell asleep.
