Zia
We had been at camp for almost a month now. It was great. No major problems, well the Hades might have been burnt down a couple of times. I could now beat both Percy and Annabeth at the same time in sword fighting, it's not that different from the training we do at home. The only thing that I found challenging was the rock climbing wall, I hadn't done anything like it before, we don't really have room for something like that at Brooklyn house. We still didn't know what this quest was about. Not until that evening. I was sitting at the Poseidon table, I can't really call it Percy's table because everybody sits round it, Sadie and Anna were listening to music and completely blanking us. The dining area is very different to Brooklyn, in Brooklyn we all sit at one table next to whoever we want, here we are all split up into different tables depending on who your parent is. I think it's quite unfair as some people have to sit alone when others are hanging half way of bench because there are way too many people. I was sitting next to Carter eating some toasted sandwiches when Hazel rushed in. "Have you guys seen Frank anywhere?" she asked us. Coming to think about, I hadn't seen Frank since two days before. "No sorry. Maybe Piper and Jason will know, they're in the arena," I said. But by dinner there was still no sign of him. Piper put her arm comfortingly around Hazel's shoulder, "I'm sure he'll be ok, he'll probably be back soon," she said reassuringly, but I'm sure she was thinking what all of us were thinking maybe the prophecy has begun. "SADIEZIACARTERANNAWALTGETYOURSELFSINHERERIGHTNOW!" somebody yelled from the big house. I looked over at Anna to see if she had any idea what this was all about, but she just shrugged. We stood up and began to run towards the big house, Jason and his friends shortly behind us. When we entered the big house we saw a very angry looking Mr D standing by the doorway. "Whatever you think I did, I didn't do it," Anna explained, she got into trouble a lot so she knew how to play it, I just stood there trembling in fear of the camp director with purple fire in his eyes. "What is the meaning of this?" He asked, though I'm not sure we were supposed to answer, he pointed into the front room. We cautiously walked inside and came into eye contact with Cleo. Her image rippled so it was most probably just a message. "Cleo!" Shouted Anna with joy. "Anna, Sadie, Carter, Zia, Walt, we really need you back her. Things have started attacking the house over the last couple of days. Something isn't right and we need your help," There was a loud clash in the background followed by screams of the little kids from Brooklyn House. Everybody stared in horror at Cleo who looked behind her with a face full of worry. Before we could speak the whole image erupted into flames and all we could hear was Cleo screaming for us. "Cleo!" Anna yelled tears forming in her eyes. My own vision began to go blurry with tears. I felt Carters hand on by shoulder and I turned round to face him before embracing him and crying into his shoulder, probably making his shirt wet but that was the least of are worries . I heard to clip-clop of hooves coming through the door. I looked up to see Chiron there. "C-Chiron, we n-need to go a-and help t-them," I spoke through my tears. I thought he would disagree and tell us to stick to our plan but he just nodded "You may," he said holding out the box of our weapons, I had completely forgot about them, we carefully took our weapons and put them in the duat. I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes. "Ok" I thought out loud, "We should be able to get to Brooklyn in-"about 30 seconds" interrupted Anna "If we all join hands I could get us there," "Hold up," said Jason and Percy in unison. I smiled to myself, by what I had seen Percy where so similar, though they hated to admit it. "If you're going then we're going to" said Jason, he paused "At least I am," I thought he would be addressing Anna; instead he was looking very seriously at all of us. "So am I," said Hazel, her voice still wobbled as she spoke. "Me to," "and me," "I guess could go to"… Soon we had everybody ready to set off. "Just before you go," spoke Chiron "I have a terrible feeling that the prophecy has started, be careful and try to stay alive," Everybody looked cautiously towards Hazel, nobody wanted to say what we were thinking Frank . On that happy note we all joined hands, after plenty of complaining from Nico (This guy is really annoying), and Anna ran towards Brooklyn House
Anna wasn't joking when she said it would take 30 seconds to get to Brooklyn house, though she didn't mention how sick we would all feel afterwards, her and Jason looked fine whilst the rest of us looked green, especially Hazel who looked like she was about to puke . We were standing outside the mansion, except it didn't look like Brooklyn house, they whole side wall had been burned down and you could see the training hall from the outside. Sadie gasped "Oh no!". "Ummm guys," said Leo "Hate to interrupt, but, there is nothing there" I forgot that only magicians like us could see Brooklyn House. "Wait guys," said Anna whilst rummaging through her bag. She produced a rather horrible looking potion from her bag "Here" she said "Drink this," the demi-gods each took a sip of the potion and stared in horror at the burnt down mansion. "That's terrible" sighed Piper gripping Jason's hand. I guess they were thinking how they would feel if they saw camp half-blood burned down. "Come on, let's go in," I suggested and I opened the door to Brooklyn House. As soon as the doors opened a figure crashed into Anna. She hugged the person and soothingly stroked their hair. The person soon looked up at the rest of us. There was a dirty and tearful Shelby. "I know you'd come," she said as more tears fell down her cheeks "I told them, I told them you'd come," Anna hoisted Shelby onto her hip and wiped her face. "Hey kiddo, it's ok, we're here now" she soothed. Even though Anna could be extremely rude and imitating (ok, maybe I am a little scared of her), she was very good with the little kids. Shelby smiled bravely at the demi-gods "Hello," she said quietly; I guess she was a bit overwhelmed after the events of the last couple of hours. Anna introduced them "This is Annabeth, Percy, Piper, Hazel, Nico, my brother Jason and…." She stopped and her face filled with dread. I looked at the group of demi-gods and immediately understood why "Guys" I said "Where's Leo?"
