AN: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the second chapter of the story. I don't think I'll get to upload much now, I have final exams and mom can't see me in front of my PC.


PERCY POV:

This war stuff sounded pretty dangerous. Chiron said not to worry about it. He said worry about things at hand. We'll go to this school, Hogwarts, for witches and wizards. Sorcery always scared me. One time, Circe made me a rodent. I still have nightmares about it. Anyway, we'll go to England in August 15th. Today is August 1st. Chiron said we'll be traveling in air, he said because Thalia is with us, Zeus wouldn't blast us.

Annabeth made me agree though. That girl is amazing. Tonight at the bonfire, campers were told about the quest. Some got angry that Ben being new gets to go on a new quest, but things didn't go bloody.

Ben is about my age, sixteen. He's like the fifth Hecate kid found. He isn't like the other Hecate kids. All the Hecate kids are magic and stuff. He knows magical stuff and sprouts them time to time, but he isn't annoying like the others. He told us that the hooded guy is a death eater and there are many more like him.

After the campfire Annabeth and I went for a stroll near the lake. She told me about her worries and I shut her up by kissing her. We made out for good fifteen minutes before Chiron came and coughed which hid a laugh. Ben, Nico, and Grover came behind him snickering. Thalia looked like she was going to yank Annabeth from me. Rachel looked a bit disturbed.

Chiron then sent all of us to bed. When I went inside my cabin I saw the most unexpected sight ever…

"Dad?" I asked.

"Percy, it's good to see you." Poseidon came and hugged me. It might be weird for people with… regular parents but I never hugged my father. He smelt like sea.

"How's Tyson?" I asked shuffling my feet.

"Oh he's quite happy; after all he's the Cyclopes general." Poseidon sat on one of my bunk. "But that is not the reason I'm here."

"You're not gonna blast me, are you?" The words come out before I can register them. Poseidon smiled.

"No, Percy, I came to talk about The Great Prophecy, or the Prophecy of Ten." He murmured.

"Um… What about it?" I asked.

"It's greater than you think. There's a reason Ben Roberts didn't find camp and survive. You know Rick Riordan?" Poseidon asked conversationally. I shook my head.

"I was afraid so. Rick Riordan is a demigod, child of the wisdom goddess—" did I mention I hate it when he doesn't mention my girlfriend's mum's name? "—He wrote about us, Camp Half Blood to mortals."

"So the mortals know about us?"

"No, they think it's a fiction."

"What's the problem?"

"I'm getting there. You know JK Rowling?"

"Author of Harry Potter," I guessed.

"Good, she's a witch." I flinched. Then I remember sorcery is normal to them.

"Yeah…"

"They knew the risks of writing about themselves. If one world found out about other world, there'd be chaos. Half-Bloods and Wizards don't go well. It starts war, they're too powerful. So you guys have to take care that you don't break into a war between yourselves."

Thanks for scaring me dad. But I didn't say that.

"Any other piece of advice, Father?"

"There are other things you'll face child, far dangerous, but now sleep." He said, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. How can you feel sleepy if you just hear your father talk about 'other dangerous stuff'? But he touched my forehead and I fell asleep.

ANNABETH POV:

It was uncomfortable when Chiron caught us making out. But it is more uncomfortable when Athena, my mother, came to talk with me. The scene started like this.

I was just sent to Athena cabin without even saying a proper goodbye to Percy. When they left and I was just about to enter a woman with grey eyes touched my shoulder. My first thought was to take out my dagger. But I held my breathe until I recognized here.

"Annabeth," she acknowledged me.

"Mother," It didn't make any sense. Gods and goddesses never came to camp. But here Athena was standing in front of me. I couldn't deny that, now could I?

"I guess you're wondering, why I'm here right Annabeth?" Athena smiled. "Now, that's my girl." I felt a surge of pride, mum never told anything like that to any of her children.

I nodded.

"Let's take a walk around the lake now shall we?" We walked to the beach. Suddenly we were in front of our making out zone. I blushed beet red.

"I believe, you and the son of Poseidon got passionate here?" I nodded, still blushing.

"I know you're a smart kid Annabeth, so you know what's good for you. But Jackson's not a good influence on you.

"Alas that is not the reason why I came to talk to you. You know that you're going on a quest in the world of witches and wizards."

"Yes, mother,"

"Let's give you a bit of history on wizards."

"Millions of years ago, Hecate, goddess of magic, chose a few selected mortals, and gave them magical ability. Not little magic, but she changed there core with magical cores. They had the ability to perform magic."

"That's how we got wizards," I muttered.

"There's more to it. They were almost running out of magic, when Hecate, the foolish goddess she is, gave four people, Salazar Slytherin, Rowena Ravenclaw, Godric Gryffindor and Helga Hufflepuff magical ability. The four of them had brains, unlike Hecate, they opened a school to teach magic, Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Ever since then, people who didn't know they are wizards are learning to do magic."

"Wizards and Half-Bloods don't go well Annabeth, be warned. You need to become their friends, earn their trust and don't break it any cost."

My mum hugged me and turned away.

"Oh and Annabeth, don't mention this conversation to your siblings."

She winked at me and went poof. So she wasn't there anymore. I realised it was well past curfew and ran to my cabin. Everyone was reading books and doing stuffs, so none noticed I was late. Except one.

Belle, my half sister, snickered. I glared at her. I sat on my bunk cross legged and open a book on architecture

After fifteen minutes, I realise I am only staring at it not reading it. Belle came across me.

"What missing your boyfriend?" She sat beside me and I just glared at her.

"Oh save it for the monsters, or for Percy, when you guys are fighting." She shrugged.

"You're the most annoying sister I ever had." I grumbled.

"Proud to be," That's when I hit her with my pillow. Then we started a pillow fight which all of my siblings joined in.

NICO POV:

The Hades cabin, from the inside has a gloomy look to it. From the outside it's real cool, but from the inside it's sad.

You'd think, that I am only twelve (my birthday's next week) and I'd be real happy. But ever since Bianca died, I had a hard time being happy.

Anyway, enough about a sad preteen's angst life, it was awesome when Percy and Annabeth was caught making out on the beach. Even Chiron was suppressing a smile!

I looked at the black leathered bunk. I am not even feeling a bit sleepy. Should I sneak outside and go to visit my dad. But I don't think that's possible because a man with black beard and greasy black hair came in wearing a black suit. Hades.

"Father?"

"Nico," he said grimly and sat on my bunk.

"You made me proud child." Hades said still grimly. Yeah, you prove that really well.

"Unfortunately I cannot show it. Now, I believe you're chosen for a quest. A dangerous one. I like it. But I think I have to warn you about something."

"What?" I didn't mean to sound rude, but I guess… whatever.

"You know Voldemort?"

"Yeah, saw him in the fields of punishments."

"He did some really bad things. Some which were not done by mortals in centuries."

My curiosity wins. And I asked eagerly, "What?"

"Well, you need to learn that yourself. But before you challenge someone, you have to know their back ground well."

"Really helpful advice dad," I muttered. Hades actually smiled, but kept firm on his decision.

"Another question, are gods supposed to come here?" I asked bluntly.

"I don't know." Hades admitted.

"Now, any other piece of advice?" I asked non-committed.

"You're going to be the youngest of Half-Bloods, remember that and also one of the strongest."

Me, strong? Hardly.

"Don't underestimate yourself, Nico," Hades said and vanished into a black smoke.

Don't underestimate myself?

"WHY will I not underestimate myself?" I shouted at the place where Hades was standing.

What do I have anyway? Some underworld powers? What is it comparing with Percy's water power? Thalia's thunder powers? Or Annabeth's super human brains?

I have nothing actually. No family, no one who cares about me.

Maybe my friends, how can I even be sure they're my friends? Percy personally killed Bianca.

Bianca's voice ran through me Holding grudges is a fatal flaw for the children of Hades.

And that's when I know I have to let go.

BEN'S POV:

It was super cool seeing Annabeth and Percy getting busted by Chiron. Chiron had to cough to get their attention. They were so lost in each other that they didn't even see the biiig shadow, which was quite due to Chiron.

You know, I don't like being in my cabin at all. It is always a reminder of magic. Yes I know I am the child of Hecate and I should just love magic, but it has my bad past to relate with.

When I walked into the cabin I saw all my siblings snoring slightly. I went to my bunk, and pulled the covers up to my chin. I couldn't sleep and all my siblings' snoring didn't help.

After a few minutes of turning I noticed a white light coming from the beach. My guts told me to follow it. I always took my instincts seriously, it usually saved me.

So in the middle of the night I sneaked to the beach and saw Hecate. I clenched my jaw and I was about to turn away when Hecate stopped me with a force of magic.

"Don't go Benjamin," She said nicely and also warningly.

"Don't call me Benjamin."

"I need to talk with you."

"Oh yeah? What're you going to talk about after you gave me to them?" I asked loudly turning to my mother. Oh yes, this is a family matter.

"I had my reasons."

"NO you didn't! You wanted me to die. Unfortunately for you, I escaped." I saw Hecate glowing for a moment, and thought that I'd gone too far, but she controlled.

"I helped you get here."

"UNWILLINGLY! Admitted mum you helped me because you needed to not because you wanted."

"I had my jobs." Hecate said a bit angrily.

"Yes, jobs to protect your creatures instead of YOUR SON."

"It was in your destination to be there."

"No, my destination was to be in Camp Half Blood. Not there."

"I don't know why you hate magic," Hecate said like a mother whose child isn't like her.

"Because my mother is related to it." I yelled and turned on my heels. I could hear Hecate calling to explain me some things but I ignored. I went to Hecate cabin and slammed the door, fortunately no one woke up.

I lay on my bed, hoping I could be anywhere rather than here.

THALIA POV:

Is it bad to say that one of the many reasons I decided to be a hunter of Artemis is because of Zeus. Yeah my dad. It was creepy staying in Zeus' cabin and see hippy Zeus glaring at me.

The Artemis cabin is not bad. It is completely silver, with some beds here and there. It had a big silvery floor, where campers could sleep with a mattress. There was a big closet, not filled with clothes but with weapons. Archery was Artemis's thing. But we had all other kinds of weapons too. Daggers, swords, Anaklusmos (Artemis instructed Zoe to make some more of this), bows and arrows, guns, tridents and lots of other things.

I felt a bit alone here. None of the hunters of Artemis were here. They were with Lady Artemis. Artemis said I needed a break after the Titan war. I couldn't agree more. I came here to see Annabeth, Percy and all my other friends here.

I slumped on my bed, not bothering to change my clothes. I'd be lying if I didn't say I miss the old Annabeth, the Annabeth without Percy. But Percy is a hell lot better that Luke. I don't like Annabeth dating.

Maybe it's just an Artemis thing.

"Thalia, how are you my dear?" Artemis's voice boomed. I turned around and saw Artemis standing there. I bowed.

"Lady Artemis, how come you are here?" I asked. She smiled a tense smile.

"I came to talk with you Thalia."

"About your quest," She took in my surprised look. "You are given a quest I believe."

"Yeah,"

"You know witches and wizards are dangerous. Hecate is a goddess with no brains. Thought giving magical powers to mortals would do any good. Anyway you have to aware of how to trust them, and how not to trust them. Remember who your friends are and who your enemies are."

"Yes Milady," I mumbled. Artemis smiled.

"You're a very smart maiden Thalia; don't get lost yourself by being with boys." Artemis sighed. "You're the best lieutenant I ever had."

"Even then Zoe Nightshade?" I couldn't control my excitement.

"Yes, better than her. It's creepy how much you guys are alike." I wanted to scowl at the comparison then I realised how much Zoe went through. Then I was proud. I didn't mean to feel all this things. I never do.

"I am proud that you are my lieutenant Thalia Grace." Artemis vanished.

I stared from the window. It had a perfect view to the forest. Sometimes I wanted to run their and kill monsters until I felt better from all the pain.

I lost too much. I lost Jason when I was a kid. I lost my mother. My father, Holy Zeus (you'd be lying if you say you didn't notice the sarcasm), never talked to me. I found Luke, the one thing stable in my life. We found Annabeth. During my years with Luke I didn't meant to fall in love with him, but I guess shit happens. Then I got turned in to a tree. Fun! Fun! After years when I was turned back into a human I was near to that stupid prophecy. I became a hunter of Artemis.

That's when I found a family. The hunters are my sisters. Sometimes I missed my old life with Luke and Annabeth. I tried not to miss Luke, but I just can't help it. Annabeth is another case. She's like my younger sister.

I knew she was in love with Percy, just when I turned into a hunter of Artemis. I visited Annabeth, and all she talked about how worried she was about Percy. I wanted to warn her guys do nothing but hurt, but Percy cares loads about Annabeth.

Jason, my younger brother, died. Thanks to my mother. I guess, that's when I had the intention to run away. I searched for him my whole life. Every time I see a guy with blonde hair I want to believe its Jason. Sometimes all these things broke as a dam. Dam, I smiled at the memory.

Maybe in this quest I can find Jason, maybe he went with Hecate somewhere and now knows himself as a wizard.

But I guess I am hoping for too much.

I sighed and tuned the silvery glow into a dim moonlight.


AN: Did you like it? What do you think about Ben's and Thalia's POV. Those are easily my favorite. and what do you think will Thalia find Jason. What is in Ben's past? Who knows? I KNOW! AND YOU DON'T
