Chapter 3: An Explanation

And Chapter 3! Yay! There was a problem with the website so it wouldn't let me update but it's fine now and I'm actually updating earlier than usual so be proud of me! Are you proud? No? Okay. See you later than.

Disclaimer: (because I forgot it. Oops!) I do not own Percy Jackson because Travis and Connor would have already stolen the rights from me.

AND ACTION!

Turns out, there was no time for a tour. We spent that time on our explanation and then some action. Long story short, before Gaia was blasted back to the ground, she sent out a thin layer of string that flew to the North Pole (I think) and wrapped around it and then continued to wrap itself around the world. It must have been an extremely long string! Anyway, it's untouchable and unsee-able. You can sense it if you're a god or demigod or even a clear sighted mortal but there isn't anything you can do to rid us all of it. You think Gaia's made enough trouble? Think again. She also is having some of her 'connections' head around the world and recruit monsters. Basically, we have a whole typhoon of monsters heading towards us, growing larger every minute. We need to get the mortals on our side and be prepared to fight in how long? Oh yeah, by the end of the school year! Which is only a month! Need some time to recover from shock? Just wait till you hear the prophecy in all it's long, confusing horribleness. Don't worry we'll get to that. First my reaction. So I was basically in shock. I mean, we had just gone through the giant war and before that, the Titan war! It's totally unfair. Talk about demigod problems. I was in the middle of talking to myself until Nico poked me between the eyes. But since I had been 'blessed' with the Achilles Curse, it didn't hurt in the slightest. In your face Nico!

"Really Nico?"

Nico smirked halfheartedly.

"Too bad. I guess you-re not dead from shock."

I shot him my supreme, ultimate, and terrifying death glare that would make a sumo wrestler cry for his mommy, causing him to back down. Annabeth rolled her eyes and continued,

"I, personally believe that the prophecy is confusing,"

"Aren't they always?"

She sighed.

"Well, yes, but much more confusing than I've ever heard before.

A mass of demigods, majority from the wars

Combine forces to discover the fate of the one thought dead before

The sea and the smarts make the newcomer see reason

Demigods must keep love, hope, and friendship to survive what could be the massacre of the season"

"Ok. So, basically, there will be a lot of demigods, we'll find out if someone is dead or not, we have to combine forces, Annabeth and I will make someone see reason, and this could become a massacre?"

Piper lowered her head.

"Percy? Could the second line mean…Leo?"

My head snaps upwards. Yesss!

"Yes."

"EEEEEEEK! YES! I TOLD YOU JASON!"

Piper shrieked and shook her boyfriend to the point where he had to grip the wall to steady himself.

"Calm down, Pipes!"

She nodded, her cheeks blazing as she smoothed out her lilac bubble skirt, and fitted, pearl blazer. She continued on to pulling her knees to her chest and staring down at her white flats. Her hair was fishtailed and fell against her chest. But a cheesy, childish grin was still spread across her face, and was to stay there for a looong time. I, on the other hand, was not grinning all cheesy and childish like. Why? Because I had had bad experiences with massacres in the past. And I did not, I repeat, NOT, want another massacre! If anyone else dies because I wasn't able to save them, I have no idea what I would do. My friends had saved me countless times and if I couldn't return the favor then I was a failure and should be in Tarturus for all of eternity. Ok, Percy! No need to get all serious and depressing!

"One more thing, Percy. Grover couldn't come because of his duties, but he sensed a demigod and that's why we're here. We need as many demigods as we can get. Mean while, both camps are preparing for battle when the monsters march on Camp-Half-Blood. We need to find the demigod as soon as possible. We need to introduce the mortals to us with our true identities and make them accept us. They obviously can't fight monsters themselves but this is better than them seeing us fight a monster or something, right?"

I nod. But I still have one more question.

"Who do you think the demigod is?"

Hazel frowned.

"We're not sure, but we believe that the demigod is your best friend, Andrew,"

"Andrew? Really? But then, how do we prove that he's a demigod without actually telling him that we're demigods and not coming of as mental cases?"

"Uhhhhh..."

Just then, before his friends could come up with a more educated answer, a scream came from the door further down the hallway, echoing down the hallway until it reached Percy's ears. He frowned fixing his gaze on Annabeth.

"You know how you said it would be bad if we had to fight a monster in front of the entire school?"

"Yeah?"

Annabeth's voice was several pitches higher than usual.

"Is that maybe a monster that we'll have to fight in front of the whole school, causing them to see as mental cases?"

"Yeah,"

So, we ran of to fight the first monster since my friends' arrival. Which had been minutes ago! The monsters never let us be!

AND THAT WAS ALSO SHORT! Sorry! But it's a chapter so bye!

AND SCENE!
