Suddenly her face dropped slack and her eyes glowed gently green. I went to take a step away from her but she grabbed my shoulders. " Kidnap. Friends. Hurry!"
Her face became normal again and she let go off my shoulders. "What did I say?" she didn't seem the least bit fazed "Kidnap, Friends and hurry?" I said and her eyes showed a feeling of pity for me "Well don't worry about it, these things are never clear. Now let's get to the full prophecy hey?"
She sat down exactly where she was stood; there was now a simple chair which had arrived somehow. "Let's see how easy this will be." She gestured for me to sit too and there was a chair just behind me which I swear hadn't been there before.
"So Gwen you're an Apollo kid hey? Is that suiting well?" I just nodded taken aback at how she knew who I was so easily.
"Don't worry; I forget you can't read minds. That happens quite..." Her whole body became rigid in a moment. This time her eyes were actually emitting green light instead of just glowing. The room took on a green hazy atmosphere and I began to feel dizzy. "The unknown work of Athena's son, a veil of denial shall be undone. Blood and water saved by choice, a fight will end in harm yet still rejoice."
Once again her face went back to normal but this time she yawned when she looked back up at me. "Gwen you must go now to see the others. Find Fletch in the morning, I believe a certain other son of Hephaestus has something that well help. Make good decisions and you'll make a great daughter of Apollo."
Something in her voice made me obey her and so I started walking towards the elevator. As I reached it I turned back to say thank you but there was no one in the room anymore. The chairs had disappeared too, it was just me.
Anxious to get out of the room in quickly got into the elevator and it dropped down. Once it had quickly glided to a stop I saw the entirety of the cabin leaders waiting at the bottom. Thankfully Lucas was right at the door which comforted me.
We all walked back to the planning room and someone brought me a chair up next to Jack, my cabin leader. "May you tell us the prophecy, who shall go?" The Dionysius leader asked.
"Well it wasn't very clear but at first she just said; Kidnap, friends and hurry."Everyone looked quite sceptical at this. "The unknown work of Athena's son, a veil of denial shall be undone. Blood and water saved by choice, a fight will end in harm yet still rejoice."
The room was still silent until someone muttered "We are not prepared for a fight, were too relaxed." A soft sound of 12 heads turning accompanied me as I saw a large being at the door. There stood a horse with the torso and head of a man.
"Those who are not going must quickly train up the others. We have been guilty of being idle and we must be prepared for whatever is to come."
Once again the room became a shouting mass of demigods arguing who would go. The centaur quietly yet clearly cleared his throat. Everyone instantly went silent and looked expectantly at him.
"Gwen shall choose 2 companions to join her on her quest. Do you agree?" They all hesitantly nodded and Jack nudged me to stand up.
I did so and those who I knew smiled at me. "I don't want to upset anyone for not choosing them but at the moment I would only want to do this with 3 people. Obviously one of them isn't here." I blinked back tears but carried on "So it's not really very hard, I want to go with my brother Dougie and my friend Lucas." I gestured towards Lucas and he stood next to me.
"I shall fetch Dougie, be right back." Harry ran off leaving George sitting at the Hermes area. He very quickly returned with my brother next to him. Dougie instantly hugged me.
"Don't worry Gwen, we'll find him, I promise." I nodded, my eyes hadn't had enough time to dry and so I just let myself well up again and let Dougie hug me. The three of us sat at chairs on the head end of the table.
The Athenian girl had brought another boy from her cabin and a small glass device. One of Fletch's brothers also joined us and sat down at his seat after patting my shoulder. He also looked upset and I felt terrible for not letting him help in a quest for his own brother.
Between the three of them they knew a hundred books worth of information about Daedalus. The glass device also held some information about him and Lizzy, the head of Athena, shine a hologram above the table and she begun to tell us her ideas of the prophecy.
She brought up a picture of Daedalus' Labyrinth. "Most of you will already know that we destroyed this Labyrinth over 100 years ago."The other campers nodded. "This prophecy however brings old thoughts back to focus. We believe he had a backup plan."
Everyone, including me, looked quite surprised at this. "How long have you thought this?" "Where could it be?" questions flew around the room as she clicked the slide across.
"We think he made a smaller, simpler maze. Annabeth, our sister who helped destroy it found a few papers and put a rough profile about it. Obviously Daedalus himself has gone but it could have been occupied by some other evil force and that's what has happened to Fletch."
"But I must also stress that we think this is a trap." She clicked the slide again "We think its ion Houston, Texas. Please tread carefully since that is the only information we have, were ultimately going in blind."
Some action finally! Its finally getting exciting! What do you guys think of the prophecy, I had to change it loads nothing worked! Anyhows read and review and (::) Lets hope my GCSE's don't halt writing but we'll see. Tschüss
