Percy Jackson & the Olympians
The Titans Apprentice
Percy woke up in the middle of the night. He didn't remember his dream. Just that it was a bad one. He looked over at the beds on the other side of the room. His siblings were sleeping soundlessly. He had a younger step-brother at the age of 13 and a younger step-sister at the age of 9. His step-brother was named Marcus and his step-sister was named Caitlin. They were both nice kids.
Percy got up from bed, and walked out of the cabin. He slowly shut the door trying not to wake them up. His instincts were telling him to go for a walk at three in the morning. He didn't know why, but just that he had an important job to do. He walked away from the cabins and over to the archery field. He hated archery, but something was drawing him to it. He was leaving for 11th grade soon. This was his last week at camp.
As Percy stood in the field, the wind was blowing at a strange speed. Like it was trying to tell him something. Percy turned his attention to behind him where he felt like someone was watching him. But nothing was to be seen.
"There are more to your powers Percy," a strange voice said. Percy still saw no one.
"Who are you," he demanded.
"I'm here to help you. You are the key to end and save the Earth. Without you, Nico and Thalia would be dead. The children of the big three are the key to the end! It is your duty to help them!
"Who are you? Show your self coward!"
"In due time. But right now, you should keep your siblings close! They have a habit of ending up dead and missing!" Percy froze.
"Oh no; Caitlin!" Percy ran past the cabins until he reached his cabin. As Percy forced the door open, it slammed shut locking him inside. He got riptide and started cutting the door open. Once the door fell too the ground, Percy saw that Marcus and Caitlin were being held into the air by a mysterious purple and black smoke. Ghosts that were see through and had on pirate cloths were using some kind of power to contain them in thin air. Percy ran up to one of the ghosts, and sliced his sword through him over and over again. It didn't take any effect. You couldn't kill a ghost!
Other campers were starting to walk out side due to Percy's, Caitlin's, and Marcus's screams. All they could do was watch the ghosts keep them in their clutches. No one knew what they were doing to the kids, but it wasn't good. Annabeth ran up to Percy in shock.
"Percy, the ghosts are draining their energy. We need to do something!" Percy suddenly saw the thin strips of wind being carried out of Marcus's mouth and Caitlin's mouth and then being pulled into the ghost's mouth.
"Let them go," Percy demanded! Nico saw them and ran to help. He has been at camp for a while to meet some of his siblings. He tried to unsummon them, but he was the god of the deads son, not god of the ghosts. Percy remembered that Hecate was the goddess of ghosts. But they didn't have a Hecate demigod.
Caitlin was unconscious now and Marcus was soon to follow. The campers all gathered around and all they could do is watch. One of the Herms kids tried to climb on the roof of the cabin, and jump to Caitlin attempting to take her out of the beam, but he went right through her like she was a ghost to. Thalia shot some lightning at the ghost, but it went right through them just like everything else seemed to do. Percy was on the bridge to crying as he watched his siblings being tormented to death.
Campers moved to the side as someone with a red robe on was walking through. The mystery person had a black and red hood on blocking his face. As he/she walked up to one of the ghosts, the ghosts turned his head to the strange person. He squinted his eyes to try to see who it was. The guy/girl pulled out a stick that looked like some kind of wand you would see in Harry Potter. He/she pointed it at the ghost and it burst into smoke. The other ghosts stopped tormenting the kids to look at the boy/girl. Marcus and Caitlin fell down as Percy and Nico caught them. Marcus was still conscious for now.
Everyone watched as the ghosts slowly approached the stranger. They were ready for what ever the stranger was to throw at them. As he/she pulled back his/her hood, the ghost's eyes went wide open and they disappeared in white smoke. The stranger appeared to be a guy with long hair that went down to his neck, and white, tanish skin. He had big, blue eyes and an uncountable scowl. Percy walked up to him with joy.
"Thank you so much for saving my brother and sister," He said kindly. "What is your name?" Percy looked at him strangely. "Oh, you're not a guy! You're a girl," he said almost laughing. She got angry with that insult.
"Yeah I'm a girl you idiot! What did you think I was? A guy! What kind of…" She stopped speaking for a moment. "Your siblings," she said. "You're Percy Jackson?" He nodded although felt scared by her strange actions. "You must come with me, now!" She grabbed a hold of Percy's arm and dragged him behind one of the cabins.
"What is your problem," Percy asked.
"You have it don't you," she said.
"Have what?"
"The shell! The shell that was originally in Poseidon's palace!" Percy looked at her strangely.
"The only shell I have from the palace is the one Tyson mailed me the other day." Percy reached into his pocket and pulled out a small sea shell. The girl looked at it like it was a million bucks.
"Do you know what this is? This is the shell that contains all of Poseidon's powers. Who ever breaks this open will have all of his powers. You need to get this to Poseidon right away so he can protect it!"
"Wait, hold up. Who are you again and how do you know this?" She sighed.
"My name is Faith. My Mother is Hecate: God of Witchcraft, ghosts, and magic. That is how I got rid of those ghosts! Now can we get back to the issue?"
"Why can't Poseidon just break it open so he can keep his powers and he won't need to worry about it any more?"
"If the owner breaks it open, then he will die. The shell is like his life. If someone else breaks it open, then he can still live, but with out his powers. It's not that complicated you know. Now you said that your brother sent you that, right?" Percy nodded. "Then maybe your Dad wants you to protect it!"
"Do all the gods have one of those," Percy asked.
"Yep! Zeus's is his master lightning bolt. If you break that in half, then he will loose his powers to the one who broke it! My Mother's is her wand. Aphrodite's is her scepter, Apollo's is his bow, Athena's is her owl if you kill him, Demeter is her torch if it goes out, Dionysus's is his grape if you eat it, Hades's is his helm if you wear it, Hephaestus's is his axe, Hera's is her diadem if you wear it, and Hestia's is her flower if it dies. Got it fish boy?" Percy remembered that Annabeth sometimes called him fish boy as well.
"So, all I need to do is guard it?" Faith nodded.
"Well that shouldn't be to hard."
"Maybe not if you stay here, but you can't. I have come to bring you news about the Gods power seals. There is a demigod working for Cronos!"
"Here," Percy asked?
"I don't know. All I know is that he or she is trying to get all of the power seals and is going to take them to Cronos so he could have all the gods' powers. You must stop him before it is too late! The apprentice already has Aphrodite's power seal and is going to take Hestia's next! We need to hurry if we want to stop him or her in time."
"Wait, how do you know who he is going to take next?"
"My Mother saw it in her crystal ball. It gave her clues on which he is going to take next. After Hestia's, he will go after Hephaestus's. He is going in order. The easiest to the hardest!"
"If Cronos uses one, will demigods also loose their power?"
"No. Demigods have a whole different system!" A ringing sound filled the air. Faith pulled out her cell phone and answered it. "Hello?" It was quiet for a second. Then the caller hung up on her. "That was weird," she said. Percy nodded.
They headed back to the others who were almost all in bed now. The only ones who stayed outside were Annabeth, Grover, Nico, and Marcus.
"Don't worry Marcus," Grover said. "I'm sure it was just a prank call." Percy and Faith looked at each other. They didn't say anything about Faith's prank call because they didn't want to scare Marcus any more than he already was. He was half asleep probably because the ghosts took the wind out of him.
"Okay kiddo, go on up to bed now," Percy said.
"But I'm not tired," Marcus replied yawning. Nico walked him back to the cabin while Percy introduced Faith to everyone. He told them about what she told him. After that, Annabeth told them they would talk more tomorrow. After that, they all went in their cabins except for Faith who walked away into the night.
Percy: thanks for reading!

Grover: (talking to Jupiter) But honey, I'm always saying dumb stuff like that. I was referring to you when I was talking to the readers.
Jupiter: Fine, I believe you! Just don't do it again; you hear?
Grover: Yes Ma'm!
Annabeth: Well R&R please!
Dr.D: Keep it down Perry Johnson! I'm trying to read!
Percy: Sorry Mr.D
Dr.D: How many times do I have to tell you that it is doctor D?
Percy: As many times as I have to tell you it's Percy Jackson! Not Perry! Not Peter! Just Percy!
Jupiter: Will everyone just shut up!
Grover: wow honey, I didn't know you had that in you!
Annabeth: well were going to stop this before it gets ugly! Come back soon!!!
