PERCY

'Percy! Percy! Chiron needs to see the councillors! Percy! PERSEUS JACKSON!' Annabeth yelled at me, dragging me off my bed in cabin 3.

'Come on, just a few more minutes?' I asked, my eyes still closed, yawning loudly.

'No seaweed brain, if I let you do that, you'll be even more difficult to get up!' she had a point, once you let me go back to sleep, I was dead to the world.

'I'll go get Thalia', she said. I could almost hear the smirk in her voice. Wait, did she say THALIA!? My eyes shot open and in no time I had on my usual basketball shorts, my camp-half-blood shirt, my bead necklace and my pen in my pocket. I followed her out of the cabin, just hearing her mumble something like 'he won't get up for his girlfriend when she's right beside his bed, but when I say his cousins name, he's up faster that Blackjack can say donuts.'She was right on the mark. Even though I was probably more powerful than Thalia, I would prefer to be up and tired than being struck by lightning any day. I'm no child of Aphrodite but I prefer my hair attached to my head and non-fried.

'So wise girl, what does Chiron need us for?' I asked puzzled. We had just won the battle against Gaea not one week ago. If I had to go to war again, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes open.

'I have no clue', Annabeth said, clearly annoyed that she didn't know something. That's my Wise Girl. We had just finished the conversation when we walked into the big house, and then into the rec room. All the other councillors summoned were already around the Ping-Pong table. Chiron came in in his human form behind us.

'Hero's, it is time we make an alliance with another form of magical being,' Chiron stated, 'the wiches and wizards in England,' That blew my mind, and I looked around to find everyone looked just as flabbergasted as I was.

'There are wizards?' Annabeth questioned Chiron with a sparkle in her eye. Great, now she's going all Athena on me and trying to gain as much information as possible.

'They're all distant relatives of Hecate- hence their magical abilities. The first wizards were a group of Hecate's children and over time the magic-gene has been passed down the line,' Chiron explained. 'A particular wizard has been causing some trouble and has decided he would like to take over the world.'

'Don't they all,' I groaned, laying my head down on the table. 'Maybe I should try to take over the world, it seems to be the current trend. I think I'd make a great bad guy.'

'Percy, you are the un-baddest guy I know.' Annabeth said while patting my back.

'But being evil is so fetch these days,' Leo explained, nodding. 'I think you'd make a great bad guy Percy.'

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

'I'm going to pretend that you didn't just quote Mean Girls,' Piper said shaking her head in Leo's direction. 'Where did you even find time to watch it?'

'Saving the world is not my only job you know,' the son of Hephaestus replied, sniffing. 'I'm allowed to watch Lindsay Lohan take down Regina George if I want to.'

I could sense Piper mentally face palming herself at this point in time. 'Seven greatest heroes of this age my butt,' she muttered.

'Don't let the haters stop you from doing your thang,' I said giving him the 'I got your back bro' nod across the table.

'Oh for the love of Aphro-'

'I think that's enough campers,' Chiron said, attempting to get us back on track.

'Yes Annabeth, there are, and there are three main schools for magic in England. We need an alliance, so I will be sending those of you here today to one of them. Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. You leave tomorrow, and you will be going undercover, go pack your things. I've already told everyone's parents where you're going, so save your drachma.' With that, we filed out of the room, and I took in everyone who was going. It was the seven plus my favourite cousins. This was going to be interesting.

In less than 24 hours, we were on board a plane set for Britain, and let me tell you, it was terrifying. This is coming from the person who spent a month in Tartarus. I was shaking in my seat, my face pale, and a terrifying fear that Zeus would blast me out of the sky. Thalia didn't look much better. Sure, she was in the domain of her dad, but her fear of heights made her just as bad as me. Annabeth was in between us and held both our hands throughout the flight. I was so relieved when I got off the plane; I ran straight to the airport and started kissing the floor. I know its gross, but I missed land so much I didn't care about my hygiene. Thalia ran to the bathroom and was violently sick. Seriously, you could hear her from metres away. When she came back, I was just getting up. We walked over to the group who were on the floor, laughing their heads off. Even Jason, with his usual strict manner, was clutching his stomach and laughing like you wouldn't believe.

'Stop it, it's not funny!' we yelled together.

'Dude, you could pass for a child of Hades right now. You're really pale!' Nico said, alternating between pointing at me and pointing at Thalia. The people walking past started to give us strange looks as if to say why is there a group of teenagers laughing like psychos on the floor? I ushered everyone up and we stopped laughing, except for the occasional snicker here and there. We caught a cab and walked into Kings Cross Station.
