Chapter 4:
"Earlier I had a vision or dream that I was looking at a mirror but what I saw was you Annabeth, You not me" Reyna had said
Annabeth had the same dream but instead of seeing herself she saw Reyna. She didn't say anything as it might creep her out.
"Rachel isn't here today but she will return tomorrow, so today you would have a good old Camp-Half-Blood welcome" Annabeth said with a grin on her face.
It was around seven o'clock so it began to darken, but the smiles on the campers' faces set a bright environment to light up the whole of Manhattan. Laughter was everywhere. As Annabeth saw Percy at the campfire, she led Reyna to sit with them. Annabeth gave a quick kiss to Percy as they sat down. But for some reason Reyna looked stunned, afraid but Annabeth didn't understand until Reyna whispered in her ear "Is that Leo?" and she pointed to the person in front of her,
"Yeah," Annabeth said slowly and wondered why she asked such a stupid question, then it clicked "Oh yeah, we didn't tell you. Well after the second giant war, Leo took the physician's cure… He went back to Ogygia…"
"O-gee-gee- what?" Reyna interrupted "Urmm… sorry"
"Well, he went back there for Calypso, and before you say anything she is a nymph who Leo fell in love with. Anyways she was there and all but when he picked her up and they flew on Festus, there was some sort of barrier that Calypso couldn't pass. There was a magical raft waiting for her in the sea to take her back home,"
"But wait why didn't he just stay with her there?"
"Just let me finish!" Annabeth whined like toddler "He tried but he already passed the barrier, no matter how much he tried he couldn't return, the cruel Fates only let him find her twice. He had been heart-broken ever since, but apart from that he is the same Leo as ever."
"Oh… That is just terrible…"
"Yeah, well that's the Fates"
After awhile everybody gathered around the campfire and sang weird songs about my grandma was on fire, which seemed to make everybody laugh. Chiron calmed everybody down, and made an announcement "It has been years since the fellow praetor of the twelfth has come, please give a friendly welcome to: Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano," a roar of cheering, has made the campfire golden and standing high, Reyna stood up smiling for a few seconds, "And welcome these two new campers, Amore and Ocultos Juventud Griega"
Two girls around fifteen were hiding behind Chiron, they almost blended in the dark with their tanned complexion, but their eyes didn't screamed death when you looked at them like Nico's, so they couldn't be children of Hades.
As if reading her mind, Percy stood up and firmly said, "Have they been claimed?"
"No" Chiron responded
"Those bastards, they promised by thirteen" Percy muttered to himself.
Amore and Ocultos began to glow a light faded blue and a symbol appeared above their heads, a wine cup with a horizontal line around the middle. It was the symbol of Youth, the symbol of Hebe.
"Well Perseus Jackson, you have gotten your answer. Amore and Ocultos, children of youth." Chiron pulled them into the light. Both were bright eyed but, Amore had warm chocolate eyes but they flash specks of rainforest green. Ocultos had cold blue eyes and slightly changed to silver. Amore's hair was chestnut with natural golden highlights, but on the other hand Ocultos had curly golden hair, which changes to cinnamon in the light. Both had rosy pouty lips, flawless tanned skin, tall but look young for their age. But there were differences Amore was chubby, Ocultos had dimples. Ocultos had hipster glasses and Amore didn't have any at all. But both were equally beautiful.
At around ten everybody went to their cabin. " Hey Reyna, there is a spare bed in cabin six, so you can stay there for the night." Annabeth cheerfully said.
Reyna grinned, "Yeah that would be nice." The Athena cabin was grey with white curtains and an owl symbol above the door. "The bed you're sleeping in is the bed next to mine." They walked towards the beds, talked for a while and almost instantly fell asleep afterwards. Annabeth was terrified, her hands tied to her back, both of her legs chained to the wall, the screeching whispers torturing her 'kathréfti̱ eaf̱tós , antikatoptrízetai i̱ psychí̱ , i̱ profi̱teía aneípo̱ti̱'- Which Annabeth could easily translate to 'mirrored selves, mirrored souls, a prophecy untold'
"What do you mean?" Annabeth cried, trying to escape but their answer was 'kathréfti̱ eaf̱tós , antikatoptrízetai i̱ psychí̱ , i̱ profi̱teía aneípo̱ti̱' but now it sounded like chant with three people saying it. Annabeth closed her eyes then opened them. She was in cabin six again, and by her side was Reyna panting, whilst Annabeth herself was beaded with sweat.
Annabeth's lip wavered "We need to see Rachel."
