Percy
The pavilion just got rebuilt, and now was covered with diseased demigods. Percy tried to keep everyone clam, but his peers were starting to get hysterical. Whatever was happening was effecting everyone differently. A girl from Demeter's cabin said she couldn't feel her legs and everything tasted like metal. A boy from Apollo's cabin said his insides were burning, while his sister was just unconscious.
"They've been poisoned." Annabeth said calmly investigating the incapacitated campers. More and more bodies kept hitting the floor, screaming in pain. "Look, their veins are black." She pointed at the arm of a kid no older than 12. All around Percy, he saw black lines creeping up the camper's arms and legs.
"Are they-?"
"I don't know. " She responded quickly. Neither Percy nor Annabeth would be able to stay calm at the thought of a mass genocide of their friends. The rest of the camp ran up within the next few minutes, but Chiron warned everyone to not touch any of the sick.
"We do not know how this spreads" he said over the tears of many campers. Many of the campers never went out on a quest. They never battled monsters, and a lot of them were just kids. Kids watching their friends die. Percy couldn't imagine how they felt, yet also longed for their innocence.
"Chiron, we were here with everyone else. Why were we effected?" Annabeth asking questions was always a little bit of a surprise. Percy was just used to her answering questions, the idea of her having any seemed impossible.
"Unfortunately we do not know that you haven't. Until we figure out the root of this spell. You two will have to be isolated." Chiron couldn't look them in the eye. Percy knew it was the right thing to do, but it wouldn't be easy. Chiron was their mentor, a father figure. Unlike the gods, he took care of his kids.
"Hold on." The voice belong to Lou Ellen. She had walked into the pavilion and over to a cup. She concentrated on it and closed her eyes. She opened with a surge of energy. "It's a curse. The witch cursed the enchanted cups. Whatever liquid they produce is poison." She kneeled down to and waved her hand over the back of a passed out camper. She then brought it up to her nose and inhaled. "Sadistic."
"What's wrong with them?" Piper asked from the crowd outside the pavilion.
"The curse isn't directly killing them. It's enhancing their godly sides." The camp was quiet. Lou Ellen met Chiron's eyes.
"No human can withstand full powers of a god." Chiron clarified for everyone's benefit. "The witches want them to suffer." Cries were heard thought out the crowd. Were these kids just given a death sentence? Lou Ellen examined another body and another glass.
"Everyone calm down!" She called out. "We are the children of Olympus and I will not let some halfwit magic destroy us. They can be saved. I will need our best healers and spell casters. Our friends will be saved." A cheer went out through the crowd. Percy couldn't help but still look worried. Sure they were safe, but what about him and Annabeth. He assumed Lou Ellen was a telepath because she addressed his questions next.
"Percy you have nothing to fear. This magic isn't strong enough to effect a child of the Big three." That was when all eyes were on Annabeth. "Did you drink from a cup?" Annabeth nodded her head. "Then you should be on the floor." Percy wanted to grab Annabeth and run away with her. He knew not having the answers was killing her inside. She spent her life figuring out mysteries, there is no way to know how she would react if she became one. As Percy put his arm around her he heard a shout in the crowd.
"Out of my way, move it, coming though!" Rachel dare made her way into the Pavilion grabbed a cup and drank. "What's with the line?" Every stared at her. Not because she drank from the cup, but her appearance was different. Rachel had grown a belly that poked out from under her tee shirt. She wore sweat pants and used her hand to support her back. "What? I don't have a godly parent. I'm fine."
"Rachel…umm" Piper really didn't know what to say. No one did.
"Yea I know. I looked knocked up." She barked back. "But trust me, it aint mine." She took a bite of a pickle that appeared on a plate she picked up.
"Annabeth, you better come with me." Chiron said ignoring the pregnant oracle. "Until we know why you aren't affected it's not safe." Annabeth went to walk towards the Centaur when Rachel put her hand up. Percy could see she was putting something together in her head. She turned to Annabeth with a frown.
"Girl," She started, "I hope I'm wrong about this. " Rachel grabbed Annabeth's hand. A green light surrounded Rachel and she tilted her head up to the sky. Her belly shrank while Annabeth's grew. Rachel let go. "I'm not the one who's pregnant. You are." Annabeth stepped back examining her new stomach. All at once every one's eyes switched to Percy.
"Congratulations Daddy" Clarisse screamed from the crowed. Percy wished he could force a cup down her throat.
