Maximum Ride

What is a fifteen year old mutant bird girl supposed to do with the palace of the gods all to herself, well plus six other kids? Eat strawberry pancakes in the throne room of course.

"These pancakes are amazing Spencer," I complimented Athena's Avenger-sitter. He looked a bit younger than me about thirteen with black hair and grey eyes just like his mom.

"I dabble in baking," answered Spencer shyly. We were sitting on the floor despite there being twelve thrones and only seven of us, Percy warned that the gods were very protective over there over-sized lazy boyz.

"What I don't get is why the gods didn't take us with them. They didn't bring us all together to sit around and eat pancakes," said Katniss. I had to admit, future girl made a good point.

"Well maybe the gods don't trust Setne so they didn't bring you guys just in case it was a trick. Why risk losing their must valuable resource in the war is the Giants aren't even in Greece?"answered Spencer.

"Just like when Setne faked Hera's trail in Detroit. But if they don't trust him why did they go in the first place?" asked Percy.

"If Setne wasn't lying would want to be prepared or not? I'm sure if the threat is real the gods will bring you guys in. Besides I have complete faith that you'll win," replied Spencer.

"Aw that's sweet," I said.

Spencer blushed. "Seriously Gaea won't know what hit he. I mean you're Maximum Ride, I've been reading Fang's blog forever your flock is so awesome!" replied Spencer. Now I was blushing.

"And you Percy, you're the only person alive who's battled four titans and won!" continued Spencer. "And Jason, you destroyed Kronos's throne all by yourself. Carter and Sadie are the most powerful magicians in the world and Katniss is a future warrior, I wish I was like you guys!"

"Trust me kid you don't," remarked Jason. At that we all laughed before falling silent and returning to eating Spencer's delicious pancakes.

After an afternoon fly over Manhattan I flew back into my room and headed down for a snack.

"Hello Maximum Ride," said a voice that made me stop dead in my tracks. I spun around and saw a woman standing behind me. She was wearing a Greek style white dress and had glossy brown hair with a fully bloomed red rose clipped to the side, her skin was perfect and she was beautiful without makeup.

"I am Aphrodite, goddess of love and I can see that you have a love problem," continued the woman. I held my tongue at first but I decided to split it, she was the love goddess after all. Maybe she could help me with my Fang and Dylan issue.

"Yeah see there's Fang who has been with me for all of my life but he's supposed to die and then there's Dylan who is designed to be my perfect match," I explained.

Aphrodite paused and thought. "I too have had the same problem. I love my husband Hephaestus but I also love Ares so I see them both," she explained. Wonderful, why not have two boyfriends who already want to kill each other.

"Come, let me give you a makeover," said Aphrodite before grabbing me by the arm. I had a bad feeling about this.

Katniss Everdeen

I spent most of the afternoon exploring Mt. Olympus which I had to say was pretty impressive. Everything was made of gold, marble or silver; there were statues of animals such as horses and owls everywhere which I guessed were godly symbols. There even these little people, Spencer called them nymphs, selling food and drinks but they warned that if I was mortal it would kill me so I went hungry till dinner.

When I came down to the kitchen I heard a commotion, at first I thought it was a monster attack but it was Max.

"You seriously let Aphrodite give you a makeover?" giggled Percy. Max was wearing a sparkly red dress and matching high heels, her hair was straightened and her face was painted with makeup including dramatic blue eye shadow.

"If anyone needs a makeover it's you water boy!" snapped Max before punching Percy in the shoulder.

"Soup's Up!" announced Spencer.

For dinner we had something called tacos which was ground meat, leaves, cheese and this red fruit stuffed inside a curved piece of hardened bread. Weird right but the others ate them so I did too and when I asked where they came from everyone just stared. It was hard being a girl from the future living in the past.

After dinner I went to bed because I didn't want to play Wii with the others, whatever a Wii was. I started dreaming instantly.

In my dream I was walking in a forest, I was wearing a flowing white dress and my hair was braided with flowers. I felt something in each of my hands and when I looked over I saw Rue and Primrose on either side of me with the same flower braids and dresses.

"Why did you leave us Katniss?" whispered Rue.

"Yes Katniss why?" whispered Primrose.

"But I didn't leave you," I answered as we continued to walk through the forest. I couldn't pinpoint it but something was drawing me in closer.

"You went to the past with the gods, you left us," replied Rue and Prim at the same time. I looked us ahead and saw a huge sinkhole which we were headed straight for it.

Come Katniss Everdeen, you do not belong in this time. Come to me, leave the gods behind. Can you not see, it was the fall of Olympus that led to your very birth. And because of that I have chosen you as my endgame. said a voice that I guessed was Gaea's.

I woke up crying for some reason, Gaea was right I had left everyone I loved back in Panem. But what did she mean when she said I was her endgame? There was only one person, or rather ghost to ask. Setne.

I walked down the halls of Mt. Olympus in the dark until I reached Setne's prison chamber. The hawk-like ghost man was pacing in his cell which had a thin wall of blue light instead of bars.

"Well if it isn't Katniss Everdeen, how nice of you to visit me. After all we have so much in common to talk about," said Setne.

I curled my fingers into a fist. "We have nothing in common!" I snapped.

Setne grinned. "I wouldn't try and punch me girl, magic boundaries you know. As I was saying we do have plenty in common, for example we both don't belong in the present. I should be in the past and you should be in the future," replied the ghost.

"Why am I Gaea's endgame?" I growled through my teeth. Setne's smile widened and suddenly I lost control of my body and kneeled down.

"I don't know but I for one would use you to help me break out of here," replied Setne.

"The others will stop you!" I managed as I tried to regain control of my body.

Setne laughed menacingly. "How can they stop me when they are busy fighting you Ms. Everdeen?" he asked then everything went black.
