OK, I know that you're probably wondering WHEN THE HECK DO THEY GET TO CAMP! Well, it's coming up in chapter 11... I think, but the following chapters are short...ish so you can hold on till then!
Cammie's POV:
Bex, Liz, Macey, and I were sitting in our suite back at the mansion, we had just finished reviewing the tapes. We were silent. Everyone was in shock. It didn't make any sense. Daughter of Athena? Mr. Solomon a demigod? Percy's dad Poseidon who has a palace? Annabeth going to Olympus? As in the mountain? Percy saving the world? And the weirdest thing of all. They knew Zach Goode.
All of this referred to Greek myths. But there was no way... People don't realize what's right in front of their eyes.
Of course!
"I think I figured it out, but it's totally crazy!" I blurted breaking the silence.
"Spill." Bex said.
"All of this stuff is related to Greek myths! Think about it, Annabeth was reading strait Greek on the first day! She has some creepy ability to sword fight amazingly. She says her mom is famous and that we probably use her as a role model here. What if Annabeth's mother is Athena goddess of Wisdom, War, and Battle Strategy?" I said with enthusiasm.
"Yeah, that's pretty insane Cammie." Macey said.
"What if it's just a game they play though Cammie? People are weird some times." Liz said quietly.
"Come on! You know that dagger she always has? She said it only hurts "certain things"."
"That could mean anything Cam." Bex sighed.
"Whatever, I guess we have to wait then... see what else we can dig up." I said giving up. "Should we corner her with our new found information?"
"No!" Macey shouted. "We wait until things get suspicious and then we'll ask about it."
"She's got a point." Bex said.
"So we wait."
Oh, we waited and we waited... and waited. Everyone was suppose to be back in the mansion by now. I mean it was four o'clock, almost dinner time. And she wasn't here yet. Until the door opened.
Annabeth creaked in as quietly as she could. Tip toeing across the carpeted room. I smile because she hadn't noticed us yet all sprawled out on the bean bags.
"Hey." I said nonchalantly but she still jumped a little. I giggled a little. "So why are you so la-"
"Shhh." She whispered.
"Why?"
"I'm being followed." She said still whispering. My eyes light up in shock.
"By who?"
"My mother." She sounded a little more freaked out than most girls would be if their mother's were following them. But then I started to wonder how her mother could have gotten through security.
"Your mom? But ho-"
"Oh, she has her ways."
A cloud of mist formed behind Annabeth and a face appeared in it. It was a woman who had brown hair and startling gray eyes like Annabeth.
"Annabeth Chase." She started. Annabeth's eyes squeezed shut knowing she was caught. "How could you fall for that sea spawn?"
"I'll be right back Cammie." She said inching her way out of the room and into the hallway. The cloud of mist followed her.
Then I herd a voice in the hallway, it was Annabeth's and another person's. I could tell it was a person, like a face to face person not a mist person, because the voice sounded more real.
I went over to Bex, Liz, and Macey who all passed out on the bean bags from waiting for Annabeth and shook them awake.
"What?" Bex complained.
"It's Annabeth, hurry!" I told her. They all were waking up. Liz was the last to get up.
I peeped from the doorway. The woman who Annabeth was talking to was the same woman that was in the mist thing. She was wearing jeans and an elegant white blouse. Her dark hair had curls in it and her gray eye's seemed even more intense than they were in the mist.
Bex and Macey started shoving each other to see behind me. "Stop it." I told them. But Liz wanted to get a peak and the next thing I knew all four of us were falling to the ground of the hallway.
I looked at Annabeth and the woman with a sorry look. We were trying to get our self's untangled when other people herd the commotion and started coming out of their rooms. Soon a bunch of people were murmuring and it was Tina Walter's who walked up and confronted them. She was in mid sentence and about five feet away from them when the woman waved her hand and Tina flew back.
Annabeth looked shocked, she said something to the woman but we couldn't hear it. It was like she was mute. Words seem to flow out of her mouth, but no one could hear them but her and the woman. They looked like they were yelling at each other. Annabeth burst into tears and pointed her finger at the woman. The woman looked surprised. She held out her hand and a picture of a mountain city appeared, and in the other a picture of Percy smiling.
Annabeth didn't know how to respond, more tears streamed out of her eyes. Bex ran at her to see what was wrong but she flew back like Tina.
"Whoa!" She yelled. "There's like an invisible wall!"
Macey tried, but only to be thrown back also. But Macey hit the wall and crumpled to the ground. "Macey!" I cried. She was alright but obviously hurt. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," She said cringing. "I'll be fine."
Liz calmly walked up to where the "wall" would be and poked it. Her hand flew back but her body remained where it was.
"It's defiantly a wall or something." She said. Liz backed away though.
"That woman is crazy! She's making Annabeth bawl!" Bex said.
The woman looked up from Annabeth and glared at Bex. Bex slowly backed up shaking her head. The woman raised her hand but Annabeth grabbed it making sure she didn't do anything and pointed it to herself.
Annabeth seemed to cry out in pain and fell to the floor. The woman looked horrified and leaned next to Annabeth her expression grave.
I looked down to the hallway to see Mr. Solomon and my mom running down the hallway.
"Step away from her now!" My mom yelled at the woman.
"Joe?" The woman asked confused, the sound thing wasn't there anymore.
"You know her?" My mom asked him.
"Um," He stuttered.
"Maybe a little more than you'd think." The woman said not waiting Mr. Solomon to finish.
"Why are you here?" Mr. Solomon asked.
"Annabeth is my daughter and I needed to talk to her." The woman was Annabeth's mom?
"How did you get past security?" Mr. Solomon didn't back my mom up, he looked down with a mad face. I'm pretty sure he knew why. "Joe?"
"She's, she's special." He whispered.
"What do you mean?"
Annabeth's mom put her palm out and a glass of thick looking juice appeared into her hand. She fed in it Annabeth's mouth. Her head turned and she fluttered her eyes open a crack. Annabeth looked into her mother's eye's.
"I choose Percy." She whispered.
Her mother looked angry and clapped her hands. Everyone that was standing collapsed and fell asleep. My eye lids were falling slowly and I saw Annabeth's head turn. Her mom started to shine.
My eyes fluttered open. Annabeth was just opening the door to our room. "Hey." She said obviously in a good mood. I must've been dreaming. It felt so real, like it happened.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, bad dream that's all." I said quietly.
Annabeth snorted. "Tell me about it."
