Percy

We walked back to camp but everyone kept staring at her. I guess it was the purple eyes, I mean I bet most people don't see that often. We stood in the middle of the horse shoe of cabins but she looked worried. "Hey what's up?" she stared at me as if she was staring into my soul. "It's just….something not right here, not just here but for us, demi-gods I just-""Calm down, nothing can get in here, no monster, we are completely safe." I was trying to reassure her and myself at the same time. I knew camp was a safe place but with more and more monsters turning up, I felt nowhere was safe anymore. As I watched her walk towards the Big House, I turned and walked back to my cabin. I opened the door and it was empty as always. The Minotaur horn and the shield Tyson had made for me hung proudly on the wall. I flopped down on my bunk but something hard hit me in the back. I uncovered a book under my covers which was written in Ancient Greek, it read: Legends and Myth of Ancient Greece. I opened it and on the first page was the myth of the Champion. Violet. It was the most intriguing thing I've ever read. It was said she was given her powers by Pan, Hephaestus and Alathea. Pan gave the call of nature, Hephaestus gave the control of fire and Alathea gave the power to show the truth. What really creeped me out was that Zeus had also given her a power, flight. I wondered if she knew or not but I felt too tired for that.

Kia

My room in the Big House was simple. A bed with a nightstand with a lamp on it and a chair in the corner. It had a window which you could see the whole camp from. On the bed was a pair of denim shorts and an orange Camp Half-Blood T-Shirt. I wasn't the skinniest girl but I didn't really care what people thought about me. I was a freak .I got it. I didn't feel much like sleeping but I climbed into the bed. In my dream I was stood the Statue of Liberty and I could see a little girl hanging onto the edge. I rushed over and pulled her up but she disappeared in front of me. "You can't save them all." A voice bellowed behind me. "They will all DIE!" I woke up in a cold sweat and looked out of the window. It was still night outside but something in the room had changed, the door was open and there was a book on the floor. I picked it up and there was a note on it, it read: In case you need to know more-Percy. I looked out the window to see him closing his cabin door. I couldn't help but smile. I read about the powers I should have, Call of the wild? Check. Fire? Check. Truth? Check but flying, I didn't risk jumping off the roof but that was an interesting one. Then I saw it there on the page. I couldn't believe it; no I didn't want to believe it. I dropped the book and ran. I ran out of the Big House and into the forest. I threw myself onto the grass. I couldn't believe it and I didn't want to believe it. After some time the sun started to rise and sat up. I was alone and I needed more time but that wasn't an option. Then I remembered something Chrion had asked me when I first arrived. I hadn't answered it but I need a name. I quietly said to myself "My name is….Kaitlynn."

Percy

When I saw Kia the next morning she was defiantly different. She was wearing a Camp Half-Blood t-shirt and denim shorts. I mean she was really skinny but she looked great. She was in the arena trying to find a sword. She was picking one after the other and trying them on a dummy but she looked frustrated "Having trouble?" I said and she nearly jumped out of her skin. "Yeah they all seem too heavy" She said. "Wait" She pulled something out of her pocket. "How is a laser-light going to help you?" I asked. "Not a light" she said and she pressed the on button and it stretched in her hand" it's a dagger, you dummy. Id nearly forgotten about this." I took my pen from my pocket and Riptide grew in my hand. She laid her dagger on the ground next to Riptide. They had the same shape and they were both made of celestial bronze. The resemblance was uncanny. "Where did you get that?" I asked her. It seemed a touchy subject but she finally said "Percy, I have told you the truth." She told me that Hades had raised her since her mother and that she stole the dagger and ran away. "Please don't call me Kia, that what Persephone called me, Call me Kaitlynn." I sat there and didn't know what to say. It was all a bit well …shocking, to be honest. I knew she was pleading with me to keep this a secret, but I felt Chrion needed to know. Just then Annabeth burst into the arena "We need you two now!"

Kaitlynn

Me, Percy and Annabeth raced to the Big House and a crowd had gathered round. I pushed through and saw a healer from Apollo tending to a half-blood. He looked dead, his clothes were torn and his skin was burnt and he had so many cuts. The Apollo got up and shook his head and for the first time the camp was silent. People were returning to their classes when Chrion charged through but he was too late. "What happened?" I asked. Annabeth answered "He came through the barriers about 5 minutes ago and just fell. There were no monsters in the area but he looked like he had been fighting forever. There was nothing we could do." I gulped. That what the voice had said in my dream. I decided to tell them everything about Hades; about me dream but I didn't dare tell them what I read in that book. After a while Chrion spoke up "That would explain it." "Explain what?" Percy asked. "The Champion was said to be a powerful hero and very dangerous. Any god would want them or their side. Your mother brought you here before she died. She thought you would be safe here because you were what your family had been waiting for over a thousand years for. Sadly Hades found you, kidnapped you and trained you as the perfect warrior." I sunk to the ground. The person who I had called father since I was little was a god who had kidnapped me. I felt angry and confused at the same time, but there was no time for that, I stood up and said "I know who did that to that boy."

Percy

Kaitlynn stood there and told us about her dream. I could sense Chrion was nervous and fidgeting as she spoke. When she mentioned the voice Chrion froze up. "What is it? "I asked. "I know who she means. About 50 years ago, heroes just started dying, some from wounds but other would never return from quests. One hero lived and told us something was snatching them up, killing some but keeping others till they crumbled. She recovered but….. Some things cannot be undone." Chrion face darkened and I knew this was serous business." We eventually tracked done that monster, his name was Greckus. He had been taking heroes for information for the enemy so we sent him back to Tartarus. I fear he has risen again." He turned to us "You must go and stop him before it's too late." Annabeth stepped forward "How will we know where to go?" "Try the Statue of Liberty that is where he was in Kaitlynn's dream." Annabeth muttered something under her breath. Then Kaitlynn piped up "Why should we go?" Chrion seemed a bit confused but that by he said "If I did not trust you, I would not send you. "

I had spent the rest of that day practising sword fighting with Kaitlynn while Annabeth studied different ways to get into the statue. I preferred to use my sword Riptide but Kaitlynn likes to train with her dagger which she called Easis. "Has anyone else used Riptide but you?" She asked me. I knew she was hinting she wanted a go so I tossed it to her. She held it firmly in her hand and sliced off a dummy head. She was a perfect natural so I challenged her with Easis. Right away she un- armed my and pushed me to the floor. I got up straight away and charged but she dodged. "Face it I'm better than you" I got it, the line from the Oracle A hero shall be bested, and Kaitlynn was a better fighter than me. What confused me that Riptide was made for a child of Poseidon and she was defiantly not me sister. She smiled at me as we swapped our weapons back. I studied her face slowly and she was different , it seemed she had changed and for that she was more beautiful. Then it hit me, I was in love with her.
