, Annabeth's twin sister. On with the chapter.***
Alice's POV
OK, so I was officially spying on Annabeth, my twin sister. I followed her through the big house and then saw her talking to Grover. "Hey, Grover, can I ask you for a favor?" she asked. Her grey eyes were doing the same please look that she had given me when she wanted me to tell her what her present from dad was last christmas.
"Sure, Annab-" he finally took a look at my sister and then gasped. "Whoa, what's wrong with you?" Her back was to me but still I could've sworn that she blushed redder than the strawberries in our field. "Nothin'" she mumbled. Grover raised an eyebrow. "Trust me, don't go there," she added. Of course, Grover was smart and he took the advice. He gulped. "Okay. What do you need, Miss Chase?"
"Miss Chase? Really Grover?" she stared at him in disbelief. "Connect the empathy link with Percy."
"'Fraid can't, Annabeth."
"Grover-"
"Percy said he'd cut my head off personally if I told you." What the heck is wrong with that idiotic Jackson? Wait, he said 'you', not anyone. I'll blackmail him into telling me later.
"What the heck is wrong with that idiotic Jackson?" Annabeth said and I gulped down a gasp. Did Twin-Telepathy work or something?
"Was hopin' you'd figure that one out," Grover replied.
"UGH!" Annabeth groaned. She HATED to not know something. It was killing me, too. That green eyed idiot was eating me alive. Still, he made my heart do jumping jacks...
"Alice, why the heck are you spying on me?" Darn it. She caught me alright.
"Ooops?" I mumbled, hoping she'd spare me, but her eyes were so intense, I decided to not argue too much.
"Sis, I got to go to the arena. I promised Seaweed Brain I'd battle him." I just nodded and watched her run to the arena. I just walked over to my cabin and started sorting out all my stuff, just the way I did everytime I had nothing to do. After about 15 minutes, Annabeth ran inside, tears in her eyes.
"Annabeth, whats wrong?" I asked, seriously worried. She just held up a note. It smelled faintly like seaweed. I read it out loud.
"Dear whoever is reading this," I said, "I have gone to someplace where I might not ever return from. Please, Annabeth, don't do something stupid, and DON'T look for me. Alice, I have left something special for you. Just look. And Grover, shut off the empathy link. I'm probably getting killed. Rachel, we talked about this. That's about it. Mom, please don't freak out. Percy." I dropped the note the moment I finished reading it. He had to be the cutest stupid boy I'd ever met. "Annabeth, don't worry. He said he didn't want YOU to search for him. Never said anything about me. I'm searching for that jerk and bringing him back to camp."
"Alice-"
"Wish me luck." She wished me luck. I went down to Rachel. Good thing she hadn't left yet.
"Knock, Knock," the door spoke. She opened the door, annoyed. I noticed that she had frizzy red hair and green eyes. She had blue highlights somewhere mixed in the hair.
"Annabeth, you again?" she asked.
"The name's Alice," I said. "You must be Rachel. I need a prophecy, quick. I think you know where I am going, and why."
"Oh, sorry Alice. I saw Percy leave and stuff, so I'm really worried. You going to stop him, right? And this is what he wanted to give you." Rachel passed me an orange shoebox. I opened the top and took a look. It was a horn, black and white. I recognized it from Annabeth's stories...
"The minotaur's horn!" I exclaimed. "And the plan IS to save him. Whats the prophecy for me, Rach?" I asked, and suddenly her eyes went blank and it sounded like three Rachel's spoke at once.
Athena's twin daughter shall go alone,
To bring a green eyed boy home.
Her efforts shall not go in vain,
For she, captured by a titan, shall crumple in pain.
The green eyed boy shall rescue her,
At great risk of himself and the world around him.
"What did I say?" Rachel asked, obviously confused. I giggled. "Alice-"
"You have no idea what you just said!" She let the joke kick in. I told her the prophecy. Her smile dissapeared and her eyes went all serious.
"Al, this is so bad."
"NO! It's SOO awesome that I am going to get kidnapped by some stupid titan, trying to save a 'green eyed boy', A.K.A. Percy, and he will save me 'at great risk of himself and the world around him.' This is SOOO great!" I said, sarcasm leaking from my voice.
"Not the best time to joke, Alice," Rachel said, "Not at all. Percy needs you. He's in trouble and I have to head of to a stupid boarding school, which I'm going to ALSO because of him." I could tell that she wasn't the type of girl who wanted to go to a boarding school.
"Sorry. I gotta go now, to prepare to sneak out of the only place that feels like home." I headed out of the bighouse. Opening the door to my cabin, I went down to my trunk and opened up the suitcase. After packing up my basics (clothes, money, food, god food, cellphone, plunger (my sword, don't ask about the name), etc) I headed outside my cabin, without leaving a note, but what I saw made me freak.
Jenny McCase, Aphrodite Cabin Counselor, was outside my cabin door, watching me suspiciously.
"Hey Jenny!" I mumbled nervously. She just rolled her eyes. I thought she was going to walk away and take a look at her 'special mirror' or something. She surprised me by actually OPENING her mouth.
You guessed it. Me and Jenny weren't exactly best friends after she replaced my washable highlights with permanent ones. In return, I offered her whole make up collection as an offering to Hestia the next day.
"Alice, listen, I know we aren't the best friends, and you annoy the heck out of me with your rubbish attitude," Me? a rubbish attitude? "But I have to warn you. Percy Jackson has another lover. I'm talking about Calypso, of course." I understand the fact others might love him but
"Calypso? How more stupid can my life get?" I asked.
"Wow. You are so dim-witted. Are you sure you are a daughter of Athena?"
"Shut up before I turn you into an offering to Hestia as well." She winced. Everyone knew better than to make a daughter of Athena your enemy.
"Calypso wants to hunt you down since she already got freed from that island of hers. She wants Percy."
