Percy
I woke up to a knock on my door. By the sounds of it they had been knocking for a good few minutes. "Open up seaweed brain before I pry open the door myself!" Annabeth, my girlfriend, yelled from outside. I groaned and opened my door. Judging by the look on Annabeth's face I looked terrible, hey, it's not my fault we had capture flag the day before! "What you want?" I grumbled. Just then Piper and Jason appeared at the door, "Chiron wants to see us" Piper explained. Great, it's not good to be called by Chiron. "We have to get Hazel and Frank" Jason said "Do you two mind getting Leo and Nico?" I nodded "First, let me change" I said, I was in my pyjamas. "You've got 2 minute" Annabeth ordered, I rolled my eyes before gently kissing her cheek and closing the door to the cabin. Once I had a quick shower and got changed I ran outside to find Annabeth had already got Leo and Nico. She told me that Frank and Hazel would be arriving in a few minutes. Within minutes we were already and the eight of us headed off to the big house. Chiron met us at the main door, he then lead us into one of the front rooms. We weren't the only people. "Who are these people?" Annabeth whispered in my ear, good, I wasn't the only one who was lost here. On one of the sofas sat four people. There were three girls. One with Caramel hair, with streaks of red and blue eyes. She looked about fourteen. There was another girl around her age. She had white blonde hair and piercing light blue eyes. She was a sickly pale; I wondered if she was ill. The other girl was around my age, sixteen, seventeen. She had black hair and amber eyes. There was a guy there as well; he had black hair and dark brown eyes. "Have a seat" offered Chiron, we all sat on the sofa opposite the group of teens. Only then did I notice a large hawk, bird thing sitting on the sickly girl's shoulder. By the look on her face I guess she caught me staring. She turned to look the bird in the eye and said "Carter, I look like a flipping mad bird lady with you on my shoulder, Please transform back!" The birds shape began to change "Carter! Get off my shoulder, last time you transformed on somebody you dislocated their shoulder!" the hawk jumped off. The girl with red streaked hair nodded "Yeah, and I would know as you dislocated MY shoulder!" she screamed at the bird. By this time everybody was staring at this strange group of teens. The bird's shape began to change again and in a flash there was a boy sitting where the bird was. My mouth hung open and the teens giggled at our reaction, I guess they were used to it. There was one thing that was troubling me though, the hawk guy looked oddly familiar "Carter?" I asked, he turned and looked at me "Oh, hey Percy!" Annabeth's eyes widened along with the rest of our group "You guys know each other!" we nodded in unison "Yeah, Percy kinda saved me from being digested my giant crocodile." The girl with red streaked hair turned whit "Carter?" she whispered "why didn't you…" Carter cut her off "Because Sadie, you and Zia would go over protective and stuff and wouldn't let me out again." Tears formed in Sadie's eyes "Carter, you could've been hurt" "So you do care about me!" he asked Sadie "No! Of course not! Why would I care?" She replied. "Because he's your brother" The pale girl replied whilst rolling her eyes. "Wait" I said "Carter is your brother?" I asked Sadie "Yup" she said popping the 'p'. "Maybe we should have introductions" suggested Chiron. We all agreed. "That's Percy, Piper, Jason, Leo, Nico, Frank, Hazel and I'm Annabeth". "We are Demi-gods" I added. "You're what now?" asked Sadie. "Demi-God" I replied slowly. "We know that!" said the pale girl (Like her nick-name?) "But what are they?" She is one sassy girl. "Half god half human" Piper explained. Carter turned to Zia "How the heck does that happen?" he asked "Um.. Carter I think the gods may have forms. "Good" said Carter "Considering most of the gods are in the form of animals!" The pale girl changed the subject before we could ask "So who are you the children of?" she asked. We each spoke in turn explaining who are parents are and what they are the god or goddess of. They began to murmur to each other before Sadie asked Chiron "Thoth, Anubis, Horus, Hathor, Hapi?" "Almost my child, you see Poseidon is the god of the sea yet you do not have one, Hapi is simply the god of that particular river." "Which river?" Asked Hazel "The River Nile" replied Chiron. Annabeth gasped "That is in Egypt!" Chiron nodded "I will let them explain" he said gesturing to Carter and his friends. "Um, well, you see" started Carter. "For goodness sake Carter!" yelled Sadie, she continued for Carter "My name is Sadie Kane, That is my brother dear, Carter. That's Zia and that's Anna. That guy there is Walt/Anubis!" "Slash what?" I asked. "Long story" Said Anna, the really pale one. "Almost as long as the cheese demon story!" Laughed Sadie. "You're joking right?" Jason asked, "I wish we were Jason, I wish we were" Replied Anna. Cheese demons? Seriously? "We are Egyptian Magicians" She finished. My eyes almost popped out of there sockets. "You are what now?" "We follow the path of the Egyptian gods by using magic and stuff." Explained Anna. "Well if Greek and Roman gods exist then I guess Egyptian gods can to," I said and the rest of the group nodded.
"So why are we here then?" asked Leo who looked like he had just got out of bed, then again he most probably had. "The other day I approached Rachel" explained Chiron "She gave a prophecy, and some of the Egyptian's have been having…. Visions" but he said the last part unsurely like he didn't quite know what to call them. "What the prophecy?" I asked. Chiron cleared his throat and began "They will join together in one fatal quest
Only the god shall be left
They will fight in a war between evil and bad
Out of the thirteen only one shall remain
The one will live for one final stand"
The whole room was quite. Even Anna's face was paler; I didn't even know that was possible. Annabeth was deep in thought. "Well joining together is obvious, us and the Egyptians, but what did she mean by god?" Nobody answered but all of the Egyptians eyes were on Anubis. "Anubis?" Annabeth thought out loud "The god of funerals, mourning ceremonies and mummification" she said. "We prefer to call him the toilet paper god" said Anna "But that works too!" Everybody in the room laughed, even Chiron chuckled to himself. "You always managed to embarrass me don't you!" He said to Anna "Not always" she replied "Last Monday….. Oh no I did….. What about that time….. Nope I embarrassed you then as well! Wait there was that one day last month…. Oh no that's when me and Sadie…" Anubis gave her a warning glare and she shut up. I was liking this girl more and more. "A fight between bad and evil, that doesn't sound good" said Nico, well done captain obvious. "out of the thirteen only one shall remain" said Hazel "Does that mean all but one of us id going to die?" Everybody was quiet "Remember prophecies can have a double meaning" said Chiron "Now we don't know when the quest is, or what it'll be but one thing is for sure, you will have to work together. All of you will be staying here for a while, you may then visit Brooklyn house around Christmas time" He finished. All of the Egyptians moaned at Chiron, I guess they had never been away from Brooklyn house for very long. "What's Brooklyn house?" asked Piper "It's like camp half –blood but for the magicians" Explained Chiron. "Is that why we don't go to Brooklyn for quests?" asked Annabeth, "Because of….. Them?" Wow. My girlfriend is a real charmer. "Which cabins will they stay in?" I asked wanting to change the subject before Annabeth could insult them more. "Well Anubis, obviously in the Hades Cabin. The rest are hard to place, one Egyptian god may have the same Characteristics as more than one Greek god" Great. "There's some spare bunks in my cabin" Offered Annabeth, wait what? Annabeth offered for these people to stay in her cabin? Ok now I was creeped out. Turns out I wasn't the only one shocked by Annabeth. Everyone, except the Egyptians, was staring at Annabeth. I was the first to overcome the shock. "There is room in my cabin too" I added. Chiron nodded, "Very well then, Carter, you can share with Percy and, Zia, Sadie and Anna, you can sleep in the Athena cabin." "What if people remember the pack?" I asked. "We can say they were already claimed and they are the daughters of Athena" Well that was settled. We were about to leave when Chiron remembered something "Ah, yes, your weapons please" he said eying the Egyptians "What!" Yelled Sadie, she yells a lot. "We don't want other campers knowing your secret; we will find you some demi-god weapons" They all groaned. Chiron produced a large cardboard box for them to put their weapons. "You're gonna need a bigger box" said Anna, seriously though, this girl! Annabeth rolled her eyes and muttered something so quiet I couldn't hear it, and I was right next to her. Chiron went round to Sadie, Anubis, Carter and Zia and the box was plenty big enough. There was a smug smile on Annabeth's face, I knew what see was thinking: Greeks-1 Egyptians-0. Anna reached down and pulled two daggers out of one boot and a long knife out of the other. She had to swords strapped to her belt; another knife strapped onto her left arm; a round sharp disc thing on her other arm. She placed them all in the box and smiled sweetly and Chiron. Chiron gave her a hard expecting more from you look. Anna sighed and and pulled some arrows out of her boots. She then began handing in all sorts of things out like bracelets, necklaces, watches and rings, she would turn them into whatever weapon they were before placing them beside the overfilled box. Everybody's eyes widened at each weapon she had. Then she reached her hand out like every other Egyptian had, her fingers closed around nothing, but when she pulled back so was holding a stick like the others, I guess it was a wand. Finally she looked up "That's all" she said, "But you won't be able to take away are real weapons" Chiron sighed "Just try not to…. You know… blow up anything or set anything on fire" He said looking at Zia "Hey, it's not my fault, Walt was being annoying!" she said "Oh, so it's my fault now" replied Walt.
Chiron was obviously desperate to change the subject, I didn't want to know what Zia could do when is angry "You may go" He said and we all stood up. Anna turned to face Sadie "Beat you to Athena's Cabin!" she bet. "You don't even know where it is" protested Annabeth, "Still beat you to it!" she yelled as she ran in a blur of colour, leaving us all stunned "that girl has love for speed" Stated Chiron as he clip-clopped up the stairs.
