Selena's P.O.V.

The fire dwindled down back to normal as the voice silenced. Everyone looked around uneasily, worried about what had just happened. No one seemed to notice at first that the stranger had sat up and was looking around. Selena looked on as Daphne slowly approached him. Suddenly something strange happened to Selena: the scene appeared different to her.

Daphne's camp outfit changed to a beautiful ancient-Grecian style one-shoulder dress. Her shoes changed to gold sandals, and her hair was out of its ponytail and flying freely. The guy was out of his gothic clothing and instead wearing ancient-Grecian warrior clothing. The scenery, instead of a forest clearing, was a seemingly endless beach.

Daphne crouched down by the strange guy. "Who are you?" she asked.

"Who am I? Who are you?" he asked her. "And where the heck am I?"

"My name is Daphne Blane. This is Camp Half-Blood, a place for demigods. I'm a daughter of the Greek god Apollo." Daphne gently said.

"Wait…Greek gods? But...they don't exist." The guy said.

Daphne gently placed her hand on the guy's shoulder. "What's your name?"

"Vladimir Tod. I'm from Bathory." The guy said.

Selena's vision changed back to normal as Daphne helped the guy—Vladimir—stand up.

"Vladimir is a Russian name, right?" one of the other campers asked.

Vladimir nodded. "I go by Vlad."

Annabeth walked forward with another girl. Everyone knew who she was—Rachel, the current Oracle. She spoke silently to Chiron. Chiron looked around.

"Percy, Daphne, Selena. I need to see you, along with Annabeth. And you, Vladimir Tod." Chiron said, beckoning the called people into his cabin.

"It's okay, Chiron is a good guy." Daphne reassured Vlad.

"But…he's…"

Daphne smiled. "We'll help you understand everything, ok? Right now just come with me."

Daphne helped Vlad walk into Chiron's cabin. She seems like she knows him, Selena thought. But that's impossible…isn't it?

Vlad's P.O.V.

What. The. Hell. Vlad had just woken up in a strange place, was approached by a strange but really pretty girl, and told that he was surrounded by "demigods" who were children of Greek gods. Plus, he had just seen a centaur.

This had to be a dream. That was the only explanation. But still…the girl, Daphne…when she had touched him, he'd felt it. Like it was real. Vlad's thoughts were interrupted by one of the girls speaking.

"For our new guest, I'm Rachel, the oracle." She said. Suddenly this weird green mist swirled around her. As if like it was rehearsed, two guys caught her from falling while the pretty girl grabbed a stool for her.

"The traitor will arise

The heroes will die

Blood of a blood-lover

Mixes with the blood of a god's daughter

They fall in vain

After suffering immeasurable pain

For their love is cursed

From first sight, from birth

The god's wrath causes despair

The blame the surviving heroes secretly share"

This girl is insane, thought Vlad, but everyone else seemed to be actually considering what she'd said.

"So two people are going to die." Daphne said, matter-of-fact.

Vlad blinked. "So she spits out rhymes and all of a sudden two people are going to die?"

Daphne nodded. "She's the oracle. That's her prophecy. When a traitor arises, cursed lovers die. The lovers are cursed to die from their birth."

A beautiful girl, who reminded Vlad of Meredith, spoke up. "She said the 'blood of a blood-lover mixes with the blood of a god's daughter'. That means someone who loves blood will die, along with one of the gods' daughters."

Chiron nodded. "I believe the blood-lover part is a reference to either A, someone who loves to kill people, or B, a vampire. I'm betting on option B. Wouldn't you agree, Vladimir?"

Vlad felt a chill go through him. How did that guy know?

Daphne's P.O.V.

She was going to die.

She didn't know how, but something in her soul knew that the prophecy meant her. She was so lost in thought, she almost missed what Chiron said about vampires.

"Vampires?" Percy asked. "Sure, why not. We're the kids of Greek gods, who says vampires don't exist."

The guy—Vlad—looked kind of freaked out to Daphne, although she didn't know why.

The Pravus and the ocean's son…

"Tell us, Vlad. You're a vampire, aren't you?" Chiron said.

Vlad was shocked silent. Finally he managed to say, "How did you know?"

Chiron said, as if he came across vampires on a daily basis, "Your skin is unnaturally pale, even for someone who hates the sun. Plus your fangs are too believable to be false. That and I've been around a very long time. You're not the first vampire I've ever met."

Vlad didn't speak. He just slowly nodded.

"So we know that Vlad and any daughter of a god is not safe."

Percy nodded. "And that the two that die will suffer horrible pain."

"Great…" Vlad mumbled.

"How can we protect everyone?" Percy asked. "It's impossible; especially considering there are many children we don't know their location."

"Well, Vlad is obviously part of the prophecy." Selena said.

Vlad looked at his shoes. When he looked up, his eyes met those of Daphne's. It was strange, but somehow when he looked at her, everything else faded away.

Then they felt the first shakes of the earthquake.

Selena: Hey, why is he more interested in her than me?

Daphne: Hey!

Percy: Um, hello? EARTHQUAKE?

Daphne: Oh yeah.

Daphne/Selena: AAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Annabeth: They do know that it's just in the FanFic, right…?

Me: I love this job.
