This one is another long one, sorry. And to the real life people who are the inspiration of Medena and Robin I'm sorry if I don't get your personality just right, I don't know you too well. Anyway, it gets better don't worry. There should be a prophecy in the next chapter so keep reading and please review.
NOTE: This is set before The Lost Hero, but after The Last Olympian.
I don't own Percy Jackson.
Sapphire's POV
When we go to the sword arena, it was empty as I figured and we had a good shot at practicing alone. "Hey, do you think you can make me one of your swords again. I think I'll use that until I can get a real sword."
"Well this is a real sword to me, I just need to coat it with celestial bronze on and It will classify as a 'real sword.' Look over there, there's a big shed, it probably has some swords in it if you want to check."
"Okay we'll see which sword is better, mine or yours," Lily replied as she walked towards the storage shed. She got out a regular sword that fit her perfectly.
That's when my sword materialized in my hand and I made the first move. I tried an attack where her most vulnerable place was, her legs. She blocked it beautifully though and then attacked my shoulders. It was an easy block and was what we were doing for 15 min. until someone came out of the bushes and started clapping.
"What are you doing here? We thought you were back at the cabin, that's what Annabeth said you were going to do after you ate. How long have you been watching us," Lily asked kinda paranoid.
"Lily relax, it was only him watching," I said addressing Lily, "You were the only one watching right," I asked suspiciously.
"Yes, I was the only one watching, and I saw the whole thing. I followed you out here when you passed the cabin. You guys are really good though, have you ever had lessons or something," Percy asked.
"No," Lily and I said together.
"Okay, now you know where we're at so you can go back now, time for privacy. You should try to get the last few minutes of guy time in the cabin before girls move in," I tried to convince him.
"No, I've already done that, so who wants to take me," he asked.
Lily looked at me and we had the same thought. We charged at the same time, ready to strike and some how he blocked us both, even though we tried to strike two different places, Lily his shoulder, and I went for his legs. That's when I noticed Annabeth though and we started to battle. Lily and Percy kept going at it too. Soon we were all out of breath and I asked to call it off. Annabeth said sure and we all stopped.
"I thought you said no one else was watching," Lily said to Percy.
"Well I thought you might not want to fight if I told you Annabeth was there, so I didn't tell you. Besides we wanted to see how you fight and we have so... we're good now," Percy said.
"Is that the only reason you came here? To test us. You people are unbelievable. Lily lets go." I said.
"Sure thing," she responded.
"No don't-" but we we're already going. We decided to head to the strawberry fields we saw when we were going to practice and eat a few since we were getting a little hungry. We didn't think Percy was following us until he came up behind me and taped my. I whirled around ready to strike, but saw it was only him.
"What do you want now. To see if we know how to pick a strawberry," I asked with my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"No," he said laughing a little while I glare at him, "I just came to say that I was sorry for not telling you why we were there. We were doing Chiron a favor. We were watching over you until you get the feel of camp. Look I know we didn't get off on the right foot so, do you want to be friends," he asked earnestly.
We both looked at each other before we responded, "Sure," we both said at the same time. "But no talking of our home. Got it," I added.
"Okay deal. You know this might not be so bad, I do get kinda lonely, I'm always by myself for everything that has to do with cabin stuff, unless Tyson's here. You guys might make pretty good team mates, you sure fight well enough," Percy said.
"Thanks," we both said proudly. "You should here Sapphire's plans though, she's a genius at making plans and seeing things other people missed, like a loop hole or something," Lily added.
"No wonder you lasted so long with Annabeth. You should really tell her that sometime, then she wouldn't make up plans alone," said Percy.
"Um... Okay, but I'm not that great," I tried to be modest.
"Don't be modest, you should, she would love it, trust me," Percy said.
"Well I think we should all get back to the cabin it's getting close to curfew," Lily said.
"All right lets go," I said as we started walking to the cabin. When we got there I made sure I took a bed that was on the bottom bunk and had a bunk in between Percy and me, which was on the right. There was one more to my left and Lily took that one. I hung the bed sheets down on the one in between me and Percy so we had a little room.
"What are you doing," Percy asked.
"I'm making a sort of barrier between the beds, its a privacy thing. We like to have our own room, but that's not really possible so this is the next best thing and it doesn't bother anyone so...," I replied.
"I was just curious," he said. "Girls," he said under his breath.
"We heard that," we said at the same time.
"Go to bed already," he said.
"You could have turned the lights off a long time ago, we see well enough in the dark you know," Lily said.
"Now you tell me," He said as he got up to turn off the lights.
Eventually we all fell asleep
The monster in my dream was hideous. It was huge and it had a head with a bunch of snakes on it, but it didn't turn you to stone. It had snakes running down it's legs. It had a human face and torso, but fathomless red eyes. It looked like it was stranded on an island without a human in sight. It was just about to look in my direction as I gasped, but suddenly my dream changed.
I was watching some girl talking in a deep voice with a absent look in her eyes as she said a prophecy. Don't tell my how I know I just did. After she was done and she came to again they all started laughing at her. All except for one. He consoled her and told her that their laughter will come back to haunt them, then everything went black and I woke up, but I never told anyone about the dreams I was having.
We had only been there two weeks and Lily had already found two people she knew. Percy, Annabeth, Lily and I were all out practicing when a satyr walked up and taped Percy's shoulder while he was on break.
"Wha- Grover? I haven't seen you in like forever. What are you doing here," Percy asked
"Oh, I was just bringing some kids, Medena and Robin-" Grover started
"Wait, where did they come from, where they on vacation in Florida," Lily asked
"How did you know that," Grover responded.
"Take me to them, now," was the only thing she would say. But I had a feeling I know who she was thinking of.
"Lily don't get your hopes up," I told her.
"If there's any chance I can see them again I'm going for it," she replied.
"Who are they," Grover asked Percy as we walked.
"We can here you, ya know," we both said together.
"Man I still haven't gotten used to that. But anyway, they're my new half sister. This is Sapphire," Percy said indicating me, "and this is Lily," he said motioning towards Lily.
"Hi," we both said simultaneously.
"You've been with them how long and you haven't gotten used to that," Grover asked and we all started laughing. "We're here, I sent them to the sheds because they said if someone was here that they knew, she would probably be there."
"Damn, I should've been there," Lily said.
"Okay potty mouth lets go see them," I told her.
"Do you know how they are too," Annabeth spoke up for the first time I almost forgot she was there.
"Ya I think so," I replied.
"You met one of them, so now lets go met the other, come on," she urged.
"Okay lets go in," I said as I opened the door to the stables and walked in we saw two people there. They looked up when we came in and rushed at us.
"Well look who it is, hey cuz. I didn't think I'd be seeing you again. Hey Sapphire, same with you," Medena said as she gave us both hugs.
"Lily, thank the GODS your okay. I was so worried when we heard about the flood. Oh, you must be Sapphire, Lily's told me about you. It's great to meet you," he got out in a rush as he hugged Lily and shook my hand.
"Wait so you guys know each other," Percy asked with Grover and Annabeth agreeing with confused expressions.
"Oh, ya, well, this is my other cousin Medena, and this is my boyfriend, Robin," Lily responded."
"So are you two sisters," Annabeth asked Medena and me.
"No were cousins on her dad's side of the family," I replied,
"And were cousins on her mom's side of the family," Medena supplied.
"And I'm not related to any of them," Robin added just to be funny.
"I'd be awkward if you were," I stated and then everyone laughed.
And the rest of the first month we spent there was filled with practicing and spending time with Medena and Robin. We were also told how much nectar and ambrosia to give a sick demigod, what a drachma looked like, and a bunch of other stuff we would need to know to go on a quest.
One night after capture the flag (Athena won and we were on her side) Chiron asked Percy, Lily, and me to come with him.
"Okay sure," was the general answer.
"Good, I have grave news to tell you," was all he said until we got to the Big House.
