Hey all! So me and Julia were talking at lunch one day and somehow came up with this idea and decided, "hey what if we decide to actually write this and post it!" For those of you who haven't read either of my other stories, Juila is my best friend/beta reader. So...yeah. Julia says hi, by the way.
Disclaimer: Neither me nor Julia own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus. Or the characters.
ENJOY!
Prophe—Didn't See That Coming
Chapter One:
Mr. D's POV
Ok. So I was just once again trying to make just a little bit of wine appear instead of Diet Coke, which didn't work if anyone cares, when Chiron decided to come in. Now, if the news I was about to receive was positive or negative: that's up to you. For now.
"Dionysus. I have just received terrible, but still important, information from Hermes." Chiron says overdramatically while walking-trotting?-in.
"If one of his kids are in jail for theft again I don't care." I interrupt plainly.
"No…well…yes, that did happen but that's not why I'm here." he says. I nod for him to continue.
"The Argo II, I believe it was called, that was flying Percy Jackson, Jason Grace, Annabeth Chase, Piper McLean, Nico diAngelo, Leo Valdez, and the two Roman demigods to Greece to defeat Gaea?" he asks me.
"Yes. Percilla, Annie, Jackson, Pepper, Nick, Leonardo, and those other two? The ones that were supposed to save us by going on a quest and blah, blah, blah? All that? Yes." I tell him.
"The Argo II fell under the water. All of the demigods…died. All eight of them." Chiron says.
I feel my eyes grow wide. Great. The only people that were supposed to save us died.
"How?" I snap.
"I…I'm not sure. I can Iris message Hermes." he offers. I nod. He throws a drachma into the permanent rainbow created by the Athena and Hephaestus brats.
"Helloooo?" asks Hermes on the other side, followed by a, "HEY UNCLE D!" in the background from Apollo.
"What happened to those demigods?" I ask. Hermes' face drops.
(A/N italics are the flashback)
"THIS IS BAD! I CAN'T CONTROL THIS WATER!" Percy yelled.
"I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OF THE WIND!" Jason adds.
"OH REALLY? WE NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT!" Leo snapped over the wind and hail while trying to control the Argo II. About an hour ago, a bad storm started, probably by some Titan's brother's cousin's uncle's dad that had something against one of the 8 demigods on board. Probably Percy, Jason, or Annabeth.
"LEO! DO WE HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE SHIP?!" Frank asks.
The wind was so loud no one on board could hear his reply.
"PERCY!" Annabeth yells, wind starting to blow her over the edge.
"ANNABETH!" her boyfriend cries, running towards her and grabbing her hand while pulling in her in an attempt to shelter her from the wind.
"NICO? CAN YOU SHADOW TRAVEL? GET ANNABETH OUT OF HERE!" Percy orders.
"I CAN'T! I'D PROABABLY END UP SOMEWHERE WORSE THAN THIS. LIKE OFF THE SHIP." Nico answers.
"PIPER! CAN'T YOU CHARMSPEAK IT?! DO SOMETHING!" Leo yells.
"THERE'S NOTHING TO CHARMSPEAK!" Piper answers.
Frank whips his head around urgently as if in look for someone.
"WHERE'S HAZEL?" Frank cries.
Everyone looks around, not letting go from whatever they are holding onto.
"HAZEL!" Frank yells, tears forming in his eyes.
"HAZEL?!" they all yelled.
"Hazel…" Frank whispers to himself, breaking down.
"HAZEL!" Nico bellows.
"I HAVE TO FIND HER. I CAN CHANGE INTO A FISH OR SOMETHING ONCE I HIT THE WATER AND GET HER BACK UP TO THE SURFACE." Frank yells.
"I'M COMING." Nico declares.
"NICO, DON'T, YOU'LL DROWN!" Percy yells, reaching out for his arm.
"SHE'S MY SISTER, PERCY. I HAVE TO FIND HER. WE HAVE TO HOPE THERE'S NOTHING UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER AND THAT FRANK IS LUCKY AND CAN USE HIS DEMIGOD POWERS WHEN NONE OF THE REST OF US CAN. IF WE CAN GET HAZEL AND THERE'S NOTHING UNDER THE SURFACE OF THE WATER FRANK CAN GET US OUT OF THIS. IF WE DON'T DO ANYTHING—WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ANYWAYS. I MIGHT AS WELL TRY AND SAVE THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT." Nico argues, running after Frank. The remaining demigods exchanged worried looks. Frank and Nico never came back up. The Argo II and the crew fell under the waves. None of them came back up.
(A/N no more flashback/vision)
"Oh dear…" Chiron mumbles, obviously unaware of the details.
"Well! New plan. Get me a hat." I say, clapping my hands. A satyr runs in hands me a hat, and runs out.
"Good. Now, let's choose 7 demigods out of a hat." I declare. Chiron glares at me and wipes his eye.
Nancy's POV
Hi. I'm Nancy Bobofit. Don't judge the name, I know it sounds like some weirdo name from Star Wars or something. So, basically, I was going to lunch at Yancy like always when some guy with crutches grabbled my arm and knocked me out. When I wake up I'm in some log cabin with the guy that kidnapped me yelling at some other llama guy and—wait llama GUY?! His legs are some sort of animal (I'm convinced it's a llama) from the waist down and from the waist up he's just a guy with a beard and horns. HORNS?! Oh god. I've lost it.
"Who the heck are you people?! I swear to god I'll—" I yell.
"Shut up. If she's not a child of Ares I'm a unicorn." the llama guy that kidnapped me says.
"Wait what?! And what are you? You're like some sort of llama guy." I tell him.
"Satyr! And I'm half GOAT." he clarifies.
I ignore him and walk outside.
"Oh my god where am I?" I mutter, walking outside. There are kids fighting, climbing, running, oh god where am I?
"Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!" the goat guy—satyr—says.
"Camp WHAT?"
"You're a demigod. And oh look. You've been claimed. And I'm a unicorn. DAUGHTER OF APHRODITE!" he calls.
"OH MY GOD. I'M IN A PINK DRESS. AND HEELS. AND-OH MY GOD WHY IS MY HAIR CURLED. I BET I'M WEARING MAKE UP. OH MY GOD KILL ME." I say.
A woman suddenly appears with multicolored eyes that keep changing and same with her hair.
"Oops! Sorry, hi, I'm Aphrodite. NOT your mother. I was trying to claim the little girl over there, she turns twelve today. I'm her mother. Isn't she adorable, Hedge?" Aphrodite asks, pointing to a red-headed girl with purple eyes.
The girl suddenly ends up in a white strapless sundress with white wedges and her hair flowing loosely down her back. People start swarming around her and Aphrodite appears and starts talking with the group. I roll my eyes. Then a lightning bolt appeared above my head.
"What's that and why is it following my head?" I ask, panicking.
"Ok. So…I'm a unicorn. Daughter of Zeus. Makes sense…" Hedge explains. Cue the thunder.
"SORRY!" Hedge apologizes, grabbing my arm.
"Where are we going?" I ask as he drags me along.
"The Big House." he says as if that it explained everything.
We end up at a big cabin. Hedge drags me inside.
"Good. Now, let's choose 7 demigods out of a hat." a voice says as we walk in.
"Chiron, Mr. D, this is a new demigod. She's a daughter of Zeus." Hedge says.
"Ooh! Great. So she's going to go. Next…" a man says. Not the half horse man. The other one. Wow I sound insane.
"I'm Chiron. Hello. Um…Hedge, I need to speak to you, Mellie, and Rachel outside…" the horse man says, leading the grumpy satyr outside.
"Connor Stoll. Oh, both of them will go. Makes my life easier." Mr. D says, picking out names out of a hat.
"Next…POLLUX? Ugh. Ok." Mr. D says, pulling out another name.
So! Questions? Comments? Concerns? Tell us what you think!
Sorry for killing the demigods, but it had to be done for the story.
See you next time! :)
