Kronos's POV

"Here's the deal." I grumbled angrily in the girl's dream. "You know we are connected. Child, you wouldn't want to be DISLOYAL, would you?" She shivered, I scared her. I loved her, don't get me wrong. And the last thing I would want to do is upset her... But I needed this! "Y-Yes sir. But I don't think that I can. They- They'll get hurt, won't they?" The girl was brave, I'll give her that. She was loyal as well, but to the wrong people. "Listen, you owe them nothing. They tried to defeat me! Do you not feel an once of loyalty towards me?" I didn't mean to loose my temper, but you know, it happens. I couldn't believe I was doing this. Because I was actually acting on someone else's account. "You are correct, I do not owe them a penny. But their children... That is quite a different thing..." I decided that I was done, "Okay, you're right. They are your friends. How 'bout you think 'bout it, okay? And don't worry, I will see you soon, Daughter.

My daughter, Riley, awoke with a start.

Nico and Jessica's POV

We have to share a Cabin with Riley. The only problem, she tends to have bad dreams. Today, she woke up with a smile, oddly. Yesterday she awoke with screaming, the day before with choking... you get the point.

But today she seemed to have good dreams for once, and trust me, it really helped our sleep last night!

Riley's POV

I walked to the Zeus Cabin, as I did every morning. Jaycee was already up, and by the looks of things, she had not slept but a minute. I, on the other hand, met my father last night. But what he wanted I just couldn't do. He wanted me to help raise him, to help him destroy he gods. I hated the gods, or at least most of them. But my friends were an issue; I wouldn't let a single one of them die, and would TRY to keep them from getting hurt.

"Hey, Jaycee! You're usually a morning person..." She nodded with her eyes closed, "Yeah, I'm heading over to the Aphrodite Cabin." I gasped, that was like stepping into an ice-cold shower to to me. "I know, I know. But hey, sometimes you need it." Her hand motioned to her face. She put on a blue hoodie, jeans and she ran. I watched all the way until she reluctantly looked at the Aphrodite's Door.

I knew she'd be fine. Jaycee is a very tolerant person, most of the time. But knocking on that door was like knocking on the gates of well, the Underworld, begging Hades children to take her in and a new soul.

Jaycee's POV

I stood in front of the pink door and knocked. Almost immediately Izzy answered, "Jaycee! What a surprise to see you here!" I let down my hood and she then saw why. "Come in! And my mother herself will help you!"

I walked in and noticed Aphrodite wasn't there. "Um, where is she?" I asked Izzy confused. "Oh, Mom? We have to call her up..." I shook my head and told her she didn't need to go through the trouble, I'd rather have her do it. She looked at me with wide eyes and shook her head, "Mom made us promise that if one day you needed our help with a makeover, to call her up. Aphrodite said that she wanted to do it herself, because she's been waiting your whole life for you to desperately need her." Well, I wouldn't quite say makeover... And did Aphrodite really HAVE to come? I really would rather have Izzy do it. Before I thought to tell her this, Aphrodite was there and seating me in a chair that was in front of a table FULL of makeup. It was my worst nightmare.

After the "makeover" was done, I refused to look in the mirror; it was too embarrassing. No doubt Liam would have something to say to be. However, Aphrodite made me look in the mirror. I did and realized it was REALLY good. Aphrodite had done my makeup (ugh, I hate that word!) to match my parentage. So I saw a little gray, a little yellow, and a LOT of white sparkles. I usually didn't put makeup on, and I looked great like this... But it wasn't me. "Aphrodite, I'm sorry. But I can't go out there like this, however beautiful it is. I just wanted Izzy get rid of the circles under my eyes. I have my daily makeup (which consists of nothing but 2 things of pink lip gloss, and a few other things) in my Cabin."

Aphrodite grumped about redoing my makeup, but I was glad that she was. After all was done, I looked normal except for the tiny amount of sparkles on my eyes. "Thank you! Everyone is saying there is going to be a Camp Dance; would you do my makeup like you did before then?" Aphrodite nodded at me gravely, "Until then, Jaycee. And I WILL be watching you, and helping. Even though you'll never know."

My run-in with Aphrodite is positively frightening to look back on.

Riley said she needed to tell me about a dream she had. "Well, I was somewhere (I don't remember where, really). And I was talking to Kronos. He needed me to help rise him, destroy the gods. And, and I have to think about it throughout today." I stood there, silent. Kronos said this, Zeus said that. And I knew it all meant Riley wouldn't join her father. "Jaycee, I know what you're thinking! No, I will not just abandon my father. I want to fight with you and my dad, though I can not expect you to leave yours. Jaycee, I'm asking you to tell me what to do." I knew it was not very often she asked me for this. I couldn't say, "Be with me! Fight against him!" Finally, I made my decision.

Riley's POV

I needed Jaycee's help with this more than she could imagine. I was stuck between two sides. All my friends, or my father? "Riley, I'm sorry. But I can't tell you what to do. I can tell you what I would do if I were you, but I refuse to tell you what to do." This was surprising, considering Jaycee would usually take the opportunity. "Okay, then. What would YOU do?"

"I would first think it through logically and figure out how many people would die if I joined either side. Most people would die if I joined my father (but I'm you so 'my father'= Kronos). Then I would think, 'Which side is doing the right thing?'. That, too, would not be Kronos. Because Kronos is trying to kill the gods, and the gods make up human civilization. And lastly, I would figure out which side means more to me. The gods' side, in the end, wins. I'm not even saying this because Zeus is my dad, I'm saying this because you are my friend and I want you to make the wisest decision."

I gapped at Jaycee, she really isn't much of a speech kinda girl. I couldn't say anything, mostly because what she said was 99.9% true. "You sound like Athena, trying to reason" was all I could manage to get out. Jaycee sat there silent, but still smiling. She loved Athena, her sister, with all her heart. And to be compared to her meant everything. Jaycee was right, as always. I hated it, too. How could she make such a difficult decision sound so easy? Why hadn't I thought to think like that?

Jaycee's destiny had something to do with this, and I knew. Apollo was the God of Prophecy, so there was no way Reed was wrong. Plus, Zeus told Jaycee as well. Jaycee was freaked by it, you could just tell. Jaycee tried to avoid all of us for days afterwards. And I'm sorry to say it worked. After her little speech, the next time I saw her was 6 days later. Aaron even tried to get into her head a few times, but she had shut him out.

Grace's POV

I went to see Jaycee because everyone said she was having a mental breakdown, and I knew it wasn't. Jaycee is strong-willed girl, and I knew she could handle a lot. "Jaycee, girl, you okay?" I asked her in a soft voice. It was so unlike me I almost cried. "Yeah. But Grace can I trust you with something I haven't told the others yet? Yes, I know I can. You are the most trustworthy person I know." I was amazed at what he had just said. I'd always thought she was better friends with Riley...

"Grace, my dad, Zeus. Yeah, he told me the future. I know what happens and I'm scared." I looked at her quizzically, really? "Okay, what did he say?" I asked kindly, sitting next to her now. "He said, he said everyone will soon hate Riley. Or at least, most people. Except for me and few others, and... I'm gonna fight for Kronos. And even if I hadn't known, I would anyway. I want to, but... But I can't fight you (my friends). And what if someone dies? It'll all be because I'm on the bad side..." I listened to Jaycee for quite a while as she told me her doubts and what else Lord Zeus had said.

Pretty soon, I got slightly frightened. Jaycee knew something was wrong, at that very moment, "Gracie? Someone is watching us, I feel it." I nodded, I saw something lurking in the shadows as well. But I hadn't had enough time to figure out who's shadow it was. "I know, I feel it" was all that would come out of my mouth. Jaycee nodded with her eyes closed. There was a crackle and the lights went out. "Wow! What just happened?" I screamed. Jaycee hushed me and whispered, "I know, I did it. You'll be able to make a better judgement in the dark."

Jaycee was right, it was a lot easier. But who was it? I tried; female, long brown hair, shortish. I gasped, "Jaycee! It's Megan!" Immediately the lights were shocked back on. I looked over at Jaycee to see that she had pulled her dagger out, and her shadow said that her powers were all 'charged up' and ready. Megan reveled herself. "Look, guys, I mean no harm!" Jaycee rolled her eyes. "Oh really? Then why did you try to kill Riley earlier?" Megan gulped; she was afraid of Jaycee! "Freak accident..." Megan seemed nervous and I was highly upset that I was being of no use.

"'Freak accident', ha! Yeah right! We all know you want Riley DEAD! Now get out of my Cabin before I get my brother!" Megan immediately backed up. I hate to say it, but I was liking that moment very much! "Stay away from me, or I swear! Gaia'll, she'll do SOMETHING. Back off, Jaycee, I mean it!"

But I felt something odd; Jaycee had already called for Aaron.

Aaron's POV

I ran into my Cabin; my sister was about to fight that Daughter of Gaia. The Daughter of Nyx was there (Interesting story, I used to think her name was Julia). "Get away from my sister! I have back up outside; all the newcomers, and others. Thank you, Aaron. Go and get Reed, I need him. I think he read my palms wrong. I looked at Jaycee weirdly. Her face said she really needed this so I went. "A brother who runs out of a battle, NICE." I heard Earth Girl call out as I left. I grabbed Reed almost violently. "Someone got hurt!" He immediately assumed. "No, my sister is going mental, I think. She said she needs you because she thinks you read her palms wrong." I heard Liam take a deep breath in and stiffen; he was upset. I silently laughed at him.

I brought Reed inside and Jaycee hugged him instantly. In the background, Julia- I mean- Grace was fighting Earth Girl. "Reed! Thank the gods you are safe! Megan plans to ambush this place with who-know-what! Reed, look at my palm again. I think you were wrong, about the long life part." Reed grabbed her hand and inspected it, his eyebrows raised, "You're right! You will live... there is no telling. You may live a long life, indeed. You have no fate line!" What the heck does THAT mean? I nodded in agreement. Seeing our faces, Reed continued, "The fate line determines how much your life is determined by fate. The deeper, the more so. However yours seems to be so light that it is not visible." (A/N Everything Reed just said is true. There is a line on your hand that is called a fate line. And it does determine how much your life is determined by fate and that is how you read it. It is also true that JayceeSue44227 has no fate line.) I gasped; the fates had no control over Jaycee's death? WEIRD!

Riley's POV

I just got another Call Form Bellow; I just spoke once again with my father!
