ACT 1 CHAPTER 9
NEW ROME, NEW HOME
Annabeth decided that they had to leave New York.
''It's better that way!'', she explained , "If we move to New Rome, we can train them better"
Percy had objected strongly.
"What about Camp Half-Blood?", he asked
Annabeth looked sad.
"I know you wanted them to train and grow up at Camp Half-Blood. I did too. But we have to move a place which has more facilities and opportunities. Besides, won't Jason, Hazel and Frank feel bad that their children never did get to train the Roman way? They can also go to school there, and if they wanted to, when they grow up, go to college. And..'', she added sheepishly, "I also want to meet Reyna. I promise we'll go to Camp Half Blood every summer. We should live in Camp Jupiter."
Percy nodded. Eventhough he didn't want to, he knew that this was best for his children. And he would always do only the best for his children.
2 months of preparation and planning later, they were standing in front of the Little Tiber.
"Here goes!", Annabeth said, heaving a deep breath. Jason, Hazel, Frank and Percy had crossed effortlessly. Piper had struggled a little, but managed. Now, only Calypso, Leo, Annabeth and the kids were left.
Annabeth put one foot forward, when she heard a soft growl. Her insticnts told her to pull out her dagger. She whipped around, to find Leo and Calypso with their weapons drawn as well. The kids were slowly backing away.
They were facing a whole army of Hellhounds and Cyclopses. She had to get help.
"PERCY!", she screamed. And all Hades was let loose.
The army charged at them. The elders ran out towards them, stabbing and slashing everything in their way. Percy, Jason and Frank joined them as they destroyed the army, mercilessly cutting down monster after monster.
Hazel was trying her best to get the kids to the other side safely.
"Come on", she called out encouragingly, "Don't be scared"
Tom stepped forward first, trembling all over. He managed to somehow swim across and let out a shaky breath. Silenna went next, followed by Luke, Bianca, Emily and Sammy. Mary had just crossed, when Julie went down.
She had been swimming after Mary, when she had started to feel tired, almost as if the River was draining her of her energy.
It doesn't seem to like me in it's water, she realised. She heard a splash. It had to be Charlie. Go back, she tried to tell him, It's a trap. But for some reason, her voice didn't seem to work.
She struggled in vain to swim acroos, but the river was slowly dragging her down. She could hear Charlie making similar attempts to escape, but it was impossibel.
WWWHHHHHOOOOOOSSHHHH!
She was dragged underwater along with Charlie. She felt groggy, and dazed. No doubt her brother was undergoing similar struggles.
It was getting harder and harder to breathe now. She tried to swim upwards, but this was only making her lose her oxygen supply faster.
SPLASH! She felt something, or someone, tugging on her arm, but she was losing too much oxygen to even remain concious.
Everything was starting to fade...it was starting to turn black...and somebody kept tugging on her arm! Stop that! She wanted to say, but was too weak to do so...now there was a ringing in her ears..everything was dark..so dark!
And now the ringing had stopped...her senses were getting sharper...
She sat up straight and coughed. She coughed up atleast ten gallons of water before she could breathe properly again.
''C-Ch-Charlie!?'' she manged to ask.
''He's alright'' a voice', vaguely familiar, answered ''just unconcious''
She attempted to get up, but was pushed down by a pair of strong, but gentle, hands.
She took deep gulps of air, and then began to speak.
''What happened?"
''The river wouldn't allow you to cross, because you have too much Greek blood. Thankfully, Luke managed to save you. You might have died of lack of oxygen'' the voice answered.
''My parents?''
''Managed to get across. They are worried sick about you two. I have some medical knowledge, and that probably saved your lives!''
''Aunt Annabeth?''
''So I see your senses are slowly recovering, huh?'' Annabeth said.
Up until this point, Julie had kept her eyes closed. Now, she slowly opened them, to see the worried face of her aunt.
''Can I see Charlie?''
Annabeth nodded, and smiled ''Its nice to see how much you care for your brother. He's probably awake by now, I'll have to check. But first, your parents need to see you"
Annabeth helped her to her feet, and guided her through the doors of the room she was is in.
She peeked out the door-way.
There were three people standing outside. Her best friend, Sammy, her father, who was consoling her sobbing mother.
''Mom?''
''JULIE?!"
''Its-its alright, mom. I'm-I'm fine''
Her mom tackled her in a hug.
''I-I was s-s-so worried!'' her mother said, pulling her close.
''C-can't b-breath, mom!'' she gasped. Her mother released her from her iron grip.
Sammy, too, hugged her tight. He buried his face in her hair.
''Don't you ever do that again!'' he whispered in her ear, before pulling back.
''Charlie's come around!'' Annabeth called from inside the room, and her parents rushed in, and came out with Charlie.
''Charlie!'' she yelled, running forward and enveloping him in a hug.
''Touching though this is, I think we have to get a move on. Don't you want to see the new houses?"
Two hours after Julie had come around, the adults and children were standing together in front of a quite lane. Only four houses stood here.
The first was a Roman-styled villa, with seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a cellar, an attic, a big kitchen, and a view of the forest that grew behind it. The Grace family was to live here.
Right next to there villa, was the Jackson family's villa. It was a mix between a modern villa and a traditional Greek villa. It had a pool in the back, and a loft. With six bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a good sized kitchen, it had ample space, and was perfect for their family.
The next house was directly opposite the Grace house. It was a big, modern villa. It had a pretty front garden, six bedrooms, three bathrooms, a big basement, and a big kitchen. It had a connecting back-shed. This was to be the Valdez family's house.
The last house had a perfect view of the beach. It was on a cliff, and was also at the end of the lane. It was a mix between a Roman-styled villa and a modern villa. It had a small pool, a cellar, seven bedrooms, four bathrooms, a big kitchen, and the back-doors were french-doors that opened up to lead a person to the pool. The pool was basically on the cliff, and there was a kind of bench there. This house was to be where the Zhang family resided.
''Well'' Annabeth said ''I guess its time to move in. New Rome, New Home, New Life!"
