Okay, okay! I'm sorry it's so short. But I couldn't think of anything else to put in this chapter... oh, well.
Anyway, this chapter is in honor of 99Rooster's birthday, which was a few days ago! I will not tell you which one in case they are paranoid about identity theft like me. So you can thank them.
Enjoy!
Chapter 11: Annabeth's POV
"Hey, guys." I sat on Percy's bed and pulled a crinkled white envelope from my pocket. "Chiron sent us a letter."
Jay and Nico rolled their eyes. "Is that what the meeting is for?" Nico asked dryly. "I have more important things to do than listen to Chiron's happy death messages."
"Ha ha." Percy snatched it from my hand and slit it open with his finger. "Let's see what it says." He started to read aloud.
Dear Annabeth, Percy, Nico, and Jay,
Unfortunately, I have received word from my dear friend, Albus Dumbledore, who is the headmaster of Hogwarts. He has warned you and me against some vile creatures called Dementors.
Dementors are like living corpses shrouded in black cloaks that make a person relive the most terrible moments of their lives. Naturally, you being children of the gods, you do not have happy lives. These creatures would prove to be very effective towards you.
Luckily, using a bit of tricky magic, I have made the discovery that Aphrodite 'charmspeak' can counteract the Dementor's methods of internal torture. I am sending Piper McLean and Emma Fay' Roy to assist you.
Sincerely,
Chiron
"Why two Aphrodite girls?" Jay wondered aloud.
"PS:" Percy continued. "If you are wondering why I am sending two, it is because I am paranoid."
"Got that right." Muttered Nico. He took the paper from Percy and eyed it with disgust. "See? I told you. Optimistic letters foretelling us of our deaths."
"That's awful." I shuddered. "I hope Piper and Emma get here soon."
"I'm glad it's just Piper and Emma." Said Jay nonchalantly. "Drew would've been an absolute nightmare. At least McLean and Fay' Roy can fight. All Drew can do is put on make-up and flirt."
I laughed. "I'm glad too. And it'll be nice to see Emma and Piper again, won't it?"
"Yeah, yeah." Nico jumped into bed and pulled the covers over his face. "Sure. Good night."
Please review!
