Chapter 10

We walked inside and I gasped. It was just an ordinary house except for the girl and a man standing right in the parlor. The girl was wearing a hat with cat ears and also had jean shorts on with an orange shirt that said 'Camp Half-Blood'. The man on the other hand had a Hawaiian shirt on with a pair of Bermuda shorts. I was taken aback as the centaur backed into a wheel chair and his horse half seemed to disappear from sight.

Just then a boy around my age ran in and stopped to stare at us.

"Chiron, who are these people?" The boy asked still staring at us.

He had black hair and sea green eyes; he was wearing the same shirt as the girl and was also wearing jean shorts. I just crossed my arms and hoped he would stop staring at us. As soon as he saw me glaring at him he looked back at this Chiron. I then recognize that it the Chiron from mythology and I stare at them both and feel light headed.

"What the hell is going on here?" I asked and fell over.

I woke up to a headache and groaned. This was the third time in a month that I've fainted and it was getting old. I tried to turn over but someone put a firm hand on my arm.

"No, don't move. You banged your head pretty hard on the floor and Chiron's worried about you. So stay still for a minute or so." A girl's voice said and pulled me back down.

She also put a cool cloth onto my forehead. I groaned again and then heard some shuffling and then a different voice replace the girl's voice.

"Hey, Harrowle, you up yet or can you not hear me." X's voice said from right beside my ear.

I open my eyes slightly and give him a small smile.

"I'm up, and pretty much with a horrid headache." I sighed.

I stiffly got up while the girl and the boy protest and I glare at them, which shut them up quite nicely. X pulls me up from the low bed and hugs me.

"That's okay, I was so worried about you. You fainted and hit your head pretty hard on the floor. I saw just a hint of blood and I freaked trying to get you up." He said cradling me and kissing the top of my head.

I hug him closer and then the boy clears his throat as if to say 'Too much display'. I unlatch myself from X and frown at the boy.

"Who are you, and what the hell does my flock have to do with some damned mythology?" I practically growl at him.

"Whoa there, what did I do? Also Chiron was the one who brought you here in the first place. Oh, and my name's Percy Jackson." Percy said holding out his hand waiting for me to shake it.

I don't take it so he lets his hand drop and frowns at me. I just glare at him and let X pull me back into his embrace. Then the girl walks over to me and pulls me down the hall. I noticed that she was freakishly tall and almost was as tall as me. I cross my arms as she stops and turns around to look at me.

"Who are you and where are you from? I don't really," She stops short and gets a glazed look in her eyes.

I start to panic because I've never seen this happen before so I gently shake her shoulder trying to get her to snap out of the trance she was in.

She finally snapped out of it and stared at me with a softer gaze, "I know what you've been through. I went through the same stuff too."

I stare at her in amazement and try to decipher what she was talking about and then it clicked. She saw the future, she saw my wings and she had something done to her. She was looking at me with soft eyes and I impulsively hugged her.

"What did they do to you?" I asked silently and push her away looking at her.

She looked like she had just turned 14 and had her long brown hair in a low ponytail. She looked pretty stunning if you ask me.

"They put cat and wild cat genes into me and thought I would be a new Eraser. But I turned into a feline hybrid," She said and smiled at me, "I'm Annalessa by the way. I'm fourteen and came here when I was four. My dad is the god Apollo, god of music and the sun. I love him really, but I sometimes can't stand his poetry."Annalessa laughs.

I could really get used to her at times. She smiled at me and led me downstairs.

We both walked into the room I had been in earlier and my whole flock tackled me into a hug. I smiled and invited Annalessa into it. Everyone except me backed away and hugged her.

I beckoned for them to all follow me outside. Percy started to follow but Annalessa put her hand up as if to say 'Don't follow us. Please.' He looked hurt but sighed and sat down on the bed. I looked forward and finally got outside and breathed in the fresh air and sighed. I turned and looked at Annalessa and everybody else.

"Okay, Annalessa here is like us somewhat. I believe her because she somehow knew about us having wings. Also she can see the future." I said ignoring the protests of my flock.

I raised an eyebrow and then Annalessa sighed and a tail came from right behind her and took off her hat. I expected for the ears to go with the hat but they stayed on her head. She looked pretty cute with them too. I smiled at her and motioned for my flock to spread our wings. Annalessa gasped and smiled at me when she put her hat back on.

"Okay then, I think we should leave soon because I don't like the feeling I get from this place." I said and sighed.

"I'll go with you, though I'll have to run. I think its best I go with you or get out of the city for a while." Annalessa said as she grabbed a hidden bag from the bushes.

I nodded in approval. She could go as long as Chiron knew.

"You can go, but you need to let Chiron know beforehand." I said like a mother would.

She frowned and nodded then turned and went back inside the big house. The rest of us leaped up into the air and flew off.
