Me: Hehe, er, hi?

Jayden: Hi? Hi? That's all you say? You haven't updated for more than three weeks. You practically abandoned us for a month! Actually! More than a month! What's wrong with you!

Me: I'm naturally depressed and I have two projects due in the same week. My math teacher gives us homework every single day except for once on Halloween. My Outside Reading Project is due on Thursday and I have to draw a cover and you know I can't draw human beings!

Dylan: *sighs* Just start the story.

Me: I don't own PJO! Oh, and go to my profile! You need to vote whether Annabeth is a nice person or a mean person in my story.


Present Time:

Jayden's POV

"Get back!" I yelled at the clump of kids holding their swords and shields in a defensive position. This is awful. The Minotaur, Chimera, AND Echidna. We got rid of Echidna already, considering she doesn't exactly fight, but the Minotaur had a battle ax and the Chimera breathed fire. Not exactly fun is it? Actually, it is. Anyway…

"ROAAAAR!" the Minotaur said as he was slashed in the leg. "Draw!" I heard Dylan shout.

"Release!" About a dozen arrows flew in the air and rained down on the bull man. Screaming in rage, he exploded into sand.

A blast of fire almost turned me into a fish stick as I leaped about a foot backward. My head snapped to my left and I rolled out of the way the tail of the Chimera almost hit me in the head. My hand smoothly unsheathed one of my six (I had seven, but I lost one, long story) throwing knives. In an overhand position, my arm pulled back and shot my knife into the Chimera's mouth as it was about to breath another blast of blistering fire. Pain seared through my arm as I scraped it, and my leg as its tail hit me. I stumbled back, holding my poison injected arm to my side.

Breathing heavily, I side stepped the second tail strike and sliced my sword (which was in my other hand) in a downward strike and its tail came off. The Chimera roared in rage and blew fire at the warehouse roof. No! I thought. Suddenly a wave appeared out of nowhere and put out the fire as soon it touched the roof. I saw Bryan drop his hands to his knees as his energy was drained out of him. I set a mental reminder to thank him, although he might not care, considering he doesn't really talk.

I saw Layla Jacobs running to Hayden, who was cut in three places in her leg.

Dammit! I thought, dammit, dammit, dammit! Need a plan, need a plan, need a plan, got it!

I whistled sharply, three ascending notes, followed by two descending notes. Celeste Mun, Blaine Lung, Luis Ko, and Calder Huang seemed to morph out of the crowd of sword fighters. Kaitlin Lee, Leila Lam, and Selina La followed behind, with their longbows slung over their shoulders (P.S. The names I just mentioned are part of the Alpha team). My sis, Dylan, stayed with the other archers, directing them. I explained my plan as quickly as I could, and considering the fact that the poison coursing through my veins making me want to pass out, I'm pretty sure I did pretty good trying to stay conscious.

"What are you going to do?" asked Kaitlin.

"To Layla, since I have poison coursing through my veins." My friends seemed to just notice the puddle of blood my leg was standing in. I sighed and limped over to the girl in dark clothing. She had just finished taking care of a black haired girl whose name I'm pretty sure was Hayden. Just then, an explosion was heard. The Chimera was dead.

I sighed. "Finally." Layla smiled. Then frowned when she saw the bloody thing called my leg.

"First we need to put pressure on that." She said, stretching a long bandage around it when I sat down. I tried not to yell as my leg felt like someone was repeatedly stabbing it. I grinned when I saw Luis face plant over Leila's leg. When Leila was finally done, I thanked her, stood up, and limped somewhat over to my friends.

"Jayden!" I heard someone yell. I turned and saw Dylan waving me over. When I got there, which took more time than regularly needed, I saw her standing near one of the support posts. Her frown immediately told me something bad was wrong.

"What?"

"We need to leave."

"What!"

"I said, we need to leave. And I don't mean just us. All of us."

"Why?"

"There's a new prophecy."

"How do you know these things!"

"Remember Rachel?"

"Your see-through-the-Mist friend?"

"Yeah."

"What about her?"

"She's the Oracle."

"… this is the perfect time for a spit take. What do you mean! Our records say Hades had cursed the last one and the next mortal that tried when loco!"

"The curse was broken. Rachel took the old mummy's place."

"Great. Why do we need to leave though?"

"The second Great Prophecy. When she became Oracle, she announced it."

"What is it!"

"Seven half bloods shall answer the call,

To storm or fire, the world must fall,

An oath to keep with a final breath,

And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death."

"Spooky."

"I know, but the point is, they need our help. Our mother is the enemy."

"So you're saying, we have to help the people who are trying to kill our mother, who probably hate every single one of us?"

"Pretty much."

"Okay, but you're announcing this."

"Joy…"


5 HOURS LATER!

"Okay, everyone, I have an announcement to make." Dylan said, once we were all gathered at the dining table.

She took a deep breath and said it, "We need to go to Camp Half-Blood."

You see, here was the bad part about letting them see the info about CHB.

"What? You said we wouldn't have to go there! Ever!"

"Why! We're perfectly fine here!"

"They hate us!"

"Pickles!"

We all turned to the satyr that said that. Brandon blushed. "Sorry. I'm hungry."

Dylan rolled her eyes. "Anyway, we have to go. I don't mean Jayden and I go and the rest of you stay. It's war."

"With who?"

Dylan and I looked at each other. "With our mother."


Everyone took in the news pretty well, well, well enough to agree to go.

"Everyone pack up." I said, dispersing everyone at the table. "We're leaving tomorrow, at noon."

When everyone left, Leila walked up to me. "Do you think they're gonna kill us?"

"Who?"

"The campers."

"Probably."


At noon the next day, we did roll call. Everyone here. Everyone packed. We set off in groups of five, two being Dylan, Celeste, Leila, Selina, Blaine, Luis, Calder, or I. Kaitlin had been injured so we couldn't put too much weight on her shoulders. The other three being the campers. Just a safety precaution. Dylan had said this morning. We each took a different route, hopefully messing up the monster's minds. Just a few hellhounds or dracaena here and there. Nothing big.

Celeste was my partner and we were in the same group as Hunter, Rayne, Jacob. Rayne stayed in the back with us, cause she wasn't that fond of boys, while the boys were talking about stupid stuff. Literally, they were competing to see who had the most embarrassing moment. Jacob and Hunter were good friends, and they were always pranking. Not good pranks though, they usually got caught. But they were like class clowns, they provided the happiness. Hunter more than Jacob though. I think they became friends when it was hunter who brought in Jacob.

Anyway, when we got to camp, we were at the bottom of the hill. We still had to wait for Luis and Calder's group with Cole, Holly, and Mayra.

When they arrived, apparently, a hellhound had been tailing him. And I don't mean a regular hellhound. I mean a hellhound on steroids. It would have one the biggest dog award. Biggest hellhound award, actually.

When that large lump of shadow was dealt with by Jacob and Bryan, we hiked up the hill. When we saw the big dragon, Celeste screamed. "Wuss." I heard someone say. I glared in that direction. That scream had brought a centaur our way. I doubt he saw up yet.

"Quick! Into the forest!" I hissed. We dove in some bushes and some hid behind rocks and trees. The centaur, who I'm pretty sure was Chiron, scratched his beard and mumbled something about his old age. Three boys, one with blonde hair,one with brown hair, and one with dark purple, almost black hair, ran up to him. They looked our age and they seemed to be discussing something.

When the centaur rode off, the blonde boy turned my way when I accidentally snapped a twig. I stood still as a boulder. I saw his piercing grey eyes but I doubt he saw any of us. The brown haired boy called him and he sprinted off.

"Why did we hide?" Selina asked when we found a large enough spot for all of us to camp.

"They don't need to know we're here. Only if absolutely necessary and we haven't gotten to that stage yet. We just need to be in their borders to stay safe."

"I thought we were supposed to help them."

"We are, but they don't need help yet."

We set up for the night and set up a night guard schedule a few feet away. Close enough to see the camp but far enough so that they could shoot at monsters without monsters knowing they were there. We slept in our camouflage sleeping bags that Jacob, Zoe, Mayra, and Bryan had stolen, one for each of us.

I sighed as an owl hooted. How were we going to get the campers to trust us? They can't trust our parents, they can't trust us. Maybe we should save them when they're being attacked? Or are we just going to walk into camp and say, "Hi! Our parent is one of the titans who, by the way, hate you as you hate them. Can we help you?" Stupid. They wouldn't agree, and kill us, if we don't escape.

I could trap them when they would try to escape? Dylan and I learned how to trap people in the ground. We also know how to earth travel, but we can only go two people, not including us, at a time.


So, how was it? Please tell me. Sorry all those names might confuse you but I wanted to mention everyone at least once. I might have failed at that.
