"Take that!" I told my girlfriend Annabeth. We were in the sword fighting arena, and I had just beaten her. "No fair!" she said with a smirk. I gave her back her new knife Leo had forged for her. I had it made to look exactly like the one she lost in Tartarus. "Thanks Percy" Annabeth smiled at me. I grinned and turned around. The whole camp was standing there watching us. They were probably betting on who would win because I saw money going around. "Really guys?" I said. They looked at me and smirked. "We couldn't help it!" Travis Stoll from the Hermes cabin said. I shook my head, and walked out of the arena with Annabeth in tow. "I'll get you back" she promised me. "I can't wait" I smirked. She smiled and ran off to the Athena cabin. I watched her go. Then I went to my cabin to freshen up. Then the conch horn blew for dinner. I raced out of my cabin, and caught up with Annabeth. "I could eat a horse" I told her. "I don't think your dad would like that" she said. "You're probably right," I replied, laughing. We grabbed our plates and loaded them. I grabbed a cup, and sat down. "Blue Coke" I told the cup. It immediately filled with deep blue liquid. Annabeth sat down next to me. "I heard Rachel is coming to visit tomorrow" she told me. Rachel and her became good friends after the whole jealousy thing. It made me uneasy every time she said her name. Annabeth could tell when I got nervous. She smirked and went back to eating. "I'm going to the beach" I told her. She nodded. "I'll come join you later." I got up and left the dining pavilion.
When I reached the beach I saw my Pegasus, Blackjack, pawing at the sand. "What's up?" I said in my mind. "Another sea creature needs your help, My Lord." He replied. "Ok, I'm coming. You don't have to call me lord Blackjack." I said to him. "Ok boss" he nickered. He knew I hated him calling me that. I climbed on his back, and he soared through the skies. I climbed off of his back when he stopped, and plunged into the water. I swam to the bottom, and saw a shark stuck in a net. ""Hey buddy," I said to him. "I'm going to get you out of here okay? Just hold still." I uncapped Riptide and slashed the net to pieces. The shark said a quick thank you to me and swam away. I looked up, and saw Blackjack waiting for me. I knew Annabeth would be wondering where I was so swam back. "You're awesome boss" Blackjack said to me as I broke the surface. "Don't call me boss" I told him. He nickered and let me climb on his back.
Annabeth was waiting for me on the shore with her arms crossed. She looked kind've mad. "Good luck boss" Blackjack said as he dropped me off, and flew away. I sighed, and walked over to her. "Where have you been seaweed brain?" she asked me. "Blackjack wanted me to go help another sea animal" I told her. Annabeth rolled her eyes. "He always asks you at the worst times." "I know" I said. I walked her to her cabin, and kissed her goodnight. She smiled, and went inside. I turned around and started walking to my cabin. I hoped Rachel wasn't going to go and spout a prophecy tomorrow, but I had a bad feeling that we were about to go on another quest. I sighed and went inside my cabin. I found Tyson sleeping peacefully. I grinned, and went to sleep.
I was glad I didn't have nightmares when I woke up the next morning. I heard the conch horn blow for breakfast. I jumped out of bed, got dressed, and ran outside to the dining pavilion. Turns out Rachel had arrived because I saw her talking with Annabeth. I went over to say hi. "Morning seaweed brain" Annabeth told me. "Morning wise girl. Did you sleep well?" I asked her. "Yeah. How about you?" she grinned as she saw how messy my hair was. "I slept okay." I admitted. "Hey guys? I'm still here you know." Rachel said, grinning at us. "Sorry, Hi Rachel, how have you been?" I asked her. "I'm fine, how have you been?" she asked me. "I'm pretty good." I replied. Chiron came over and spoke to us, and I looked up at him. "Welcome back Rachel!" he said. "Glad to be back Chiron, Clarion Ladies Academy is boring" Rachel replied. "I bet." I told her. Annabeth gave me her shut up glare. "So, any new prophecies we should know about?" I asked Rachel. Annabeth kicked me under the table. "Actually, No" Rachel replied. "I just hope this trip will be prophecy free." "Sounds good to me" I said. Suddenly Rachel hunched over like someone punched her. Then she stood straight up, green mist pouring from her mouth.
You shall go to Greece to release the camp,
The fleece will point the trail,
The seven combined will prevail,
The son of Poseidon's final stand,
And one shall die by a goddess's hand.
Rachel collapsed as soon as the prophecy was finished. I started to panic. The son of Poseidon's final stand? That didn't sound like I would be living by the end of the quest. The seven would be me, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, and Leo. The fleece must be the Golden Fleece, but how would it point the way? It's only powers were to heal. I looked at Annabeth. She was deathly pale. Everyone was looking at us like they were trying to figure out where to bury us. I steered Annabeth out of the pavilion. Once we were outside she collapsed in my arms. I held her as she sobbed. "Hey, it's going to be okay!" I told her. "The son of Poseidon's final stand? Percy it means that you are probably going to d-die." She started sobbing again. "Everything will be okay." I told her. But in my mind I knew things weren't okay.
Duh Duh Duh the good old cliffhanger! Let me know what you think of it!
