Chapter 2

Lydia POV

"What are you guys doing here," I asked. It came out sounding a little harsh though. I quickly back tracked and said, "I mean, how did you get here?"

Hazel stepped forward, hugging me firmly, and said, "We escaped, silly. There are lots of underground tunnels at camp," in a cheerful tone. Frank followed came towards me too, looking at me before hugging me. "Good to see you too, Lydia," he said, wrapping his arms around me. Leo shot him a death glare, and Frank quickly returned it. "I know that Hazel. I just can't believe you two actually managed to escape from Alcatraz," I joked. She looked at me, confused, and said, "I don't get it." Frank whispered something to her and they walked over to the others. Jason was the last to hug me, he was shaking really bad. He just shook his head and walked away.

"Hey could you help me make a fire," Leo whispered in my ear.

I nodded and raised my hand, moving a couple logs and branches towards the middle of the clearing. Leo stood over them and set them ablaze. "Thanks," he said back to me.

Oh yeah, I have the power of telekinesis, a gift from my mother.

Jason and Percy both noticed the fire and began quietly clapping, grabbing everyone's attention, to get the meeting started. Everyone sat around the fire, some faces grim, some confused. Mine's was one of the confused ones. I sat next to Annabeth and listened.

"I think some of you know why you're here. But if you don't, then we'll let Jason explain," Percy said. He rolled his eyes and started talking. "I had a dream last night. Actually quite disturbing if you ask me. I was here at Camp Half Blood, in Cabin 1, standing in the doorway. It seemed kinda normal at first, but then the giant creepy statue of Jupi—I mean Zeus came alive and started talking to me."

"Oh yeah, that is creepy," Percy threw in.

"Anyways, he said that there was gonna be trouble. Big trouble and that the seven would have to reunite again, along with an extra person. Then he said that there would be a surprising person that would make or break us, and that they would be the eighth."

Dread washed over me as I realized that I would bethe one breaking them. I quickly hid my disbelief and sadness and kept listening.

"Turns out that we all had the same dreams," Percy continued, "each of our parents coming to us and warning us. It's really something."

"Nothing like this has ever happened before," Annabeth said. She turned toward me and gave a knowing look. She must've seen my face when Jason was talking. Her look said, Explain to me later. I nodded and stared into the fire. My heart was racing and my head was swirling with thoughts. Leo caught my eye and smiled, I smiled back faintly and looked away.

"So we have to unite again and find out who the eighth person is," Jason said. "We're also gonna need a prophecy from the oracle too. And we'll have to warn Chiron about this," Percy chimed in. Everyone nodded in agreement and whispered among themselves. Percy and Jason looked around. "We good? Great. You guys get back home and get some sleep. We'll talk more later." Everyone dispersed; Hazel, Jason, and Frank standing over a hole Hazel had just made and waved goodbye to us. We waved back and they disappeared.

When we had reached the cabins, everyone went their separate ways, except for Leo and I.

He rocked back and forth nervously. He could tell something was on my mind and he finally said, "What happened back there at the meeting. You looked scared or something." I waved my hand, and said, "Nothing, it was nothing." He didn't seem to believe me, but he didn't press me for answers. He nodded and stepped closer. He pulled me closer and I relaxed against him. I squeezed him tight and he combed my hair with his fingers. "I'll see you later Lyds," he whispered and walked towards the Hephaestus cabin.
