Previously on The New Girls:
"Okay bye mom."
"Bye Hestia." My mother nodded and Nico and I raced to the dining pavilion.

Sam POV
"WHAT THE FREAK!" I yelled. A lightning bolt was literally about to strike at me! I was just on my way to the beach after dinner and this happens. If it weren't for Will I would have turned to a crisp!
"Thank you, thank you, and thank you!"
"Your welcome. Do you have any idea why that happened?"
"Not a clue. I was just coming to meet you when all of a sudden this happens."
"This is so not good." I was clueless at why Will thought this was bad. I asked him why and he explained that Zeus might be mad that my mom gave birth to me he'd want to kill me. Even dethrone him! I stood there stunned and staring at Will pace on the sand. 'Why me? I am really freaking out. Why does my step-dad want to kill me? Is this how my mom was when Thalia was born?
"I can't figure a thing out. I guess we should talk to an Athena kid… c'mon Sam we're about to find out why someone tried to kill you." I will admit I didn't like the meaning of that sentence. I mean I was kind of happy to actually clear up some of my confusion. But I didn't like the last part of the sentence.
-Line break-
Sam POV
We walked into a cabin filled with kids reading writing and drawing pictures of buildings so magnificent I can't describe them. We walked to Annabeth sitting on a bunk with Greek books, blueprints, and pens and pencils spread out on the bed. Will asked Annabeth what had happened on the beach meant but Annabeth with her manners pointed something out.
"You know, people say 'hello' before asking questions."
"I am terribly sorry Annabeth. Hello now will you answer my question."
"Okay. Now it seems really weird that that had happened now. I'm not sure why but I'm sure of the source. Most likely Zeus was who did it. Why: probably because he's mad that his own wife cheated on him."
"Wow who knew he was a hypocrite…" lightning boomed above me and I muttered a heal-hearted 'sorry'. The two started to go over the subject again and I was getting nervous about my security. I am never nervous. That's when I got nervous about being nervous. 'Why is a demigod's life so confusing?' I pushed the thought aside as Verxa slammed the door open with what looked like one of the girls form Demeter cabin… Katie was it?
-Line break-
Verxa POV
I was freaking out like crazy. I was literally attacked for no apparent reason! Why wouldn't I be scared?
-Flashback-
I had finished dinner as I was walking to the cabins. 'Why is it so hot?' Then I was tackled by none other than who I have heard of so much by the Hermes table Katie Gardner.
"What the-" then why I was tackled and was so hot was answered. Someone was not being nice and shining rays at me as much as everyone else. But the ray disappeared as soon as I saw it.
"You know-"
"Thank you so much Katie."
"Your welcome. I don't know why that happened though…" She got off me and started to pace. She then grabbed my wrist and started pulling me to the Athena cabin. I pretty much knew what she was doing and she was going slower then me, so I got in front of her. I slammed the door open and found Sam in there with my cousin Will.
-End Flashback
"Hey we need a little brain –no offence Katie-"
"None taken."
"Okay I just got attacked with a killer sun ray and I am as hot as the Sahara no kidding involved." Annabeth looked like she was looking through files in her head.
"Weird Sam got attacked by Zeus her own step-dad, you get attacked by Apollo your own uncle, how long will it be that Alek gets hurt?" I swear my eyes popped out of my head. How can I forget about Alek? I stared mentally palm-pounding my head.
"Wait a second. 3, 2,..1."
"PEAPLE I AM FREAKING OUT LIKE CRAZY!" Alek came in screaming. Nico was right in back f her panting really hard. I was so scared of what could've happened to Alek that I missed her story.
"Well…"
-Line break-
Alek POV
Dude I literally barged in there. Everyone over where at Annabeth turned around. 'Oh at least she's here. Nico told me she and Percy are usually on a date or…something like that.' I walked over to Annabeth and told her EVERYTHING that happened.
-Flashback-
I was walking to my mom's fire when a huge figure comes over me. It was dark, fluffy, very, very, big all that equals to: Hellhound. Something grabbed the hood of my shirt and pulled me on top of the monster.
"Nico?"
"Got that right." I was about to protest that he shouldn't have done that until I noticed what really happened. There was a dark cloud over where I was and it started to rain and shoot lightning. 'Why didn't I see that before?' But remembered something I was taught when I was a little kid.
Thank you very much Nico." I said but saw he was hesitant but then said 'your welcome.' He looked deep in thought and got off the Hellhound. I took that as a hint to get off and saw him head to the Athena cabin. I got in front of him and ran over here. He tried to catch up but couldn't. Then the scene kept replaying in my head. Over, and over, and over in my head. I opened the door hard and it slammed the wall making a rather unpleasing thud on the wall. And I screamed that I was freaking out. My voice showed none of the fear I really had in myself.
-End Flashback-
"Well… I am not very sure about the source there but it kind of sounds like either the storm God or Goddess-forgot which they were- or Hecate. I really don't know why for that but…sorry I can't help you with that at all." I was pretty angry but I held it in. I nodded and just stuck around to see why Verxa and Sam were here.
"As for you Sam, again Zeus is probably mad that you were born because his wife cheated on him. Verxa, I am not very sure about Apollo. Wait a second." She started staring at Nico weirdly and understandment crossed his face. I was pretty confused but then thought they were thinking about the past so I decided to jump in. They were thinking about…Percy. They were thinking about when Annabeth first met him. The Gods thought Percy was a threat to Olympus. They thought we were threats.
"They think we're… threats?" they both nodded and I was scared one hundred times more I was before. Verxa's and Sam's breathing got shaky I just stopped.
"Alek? Alek…" Will asked me as he shook me I started breathing again. I was speechless. I wanted to run and got to my mom and not believe this. Dang, I wanted to believe this was a dream! But I couldn't. One I couldn't move my legs, and two that just proved I was scared, weak, and I found out a long time ago and too many times: No matter how much you wish it you can't make reality a dream. I Shook my head and breathed deeply.
"Are you sure?"
"I don't think anybody around here kids around here except the Hermes cabin." Nico looked at me with a worried face. Nico looked at Annabeth and so did Will.
"Are you saying-"
"Yes Will. There will yet be…another quest."
-Line Break-
Sam POV
"What the freak is a quest?" I was confused so much I couldn't think straight all this happening in one day. I guess this is payback for yesterday. Thankfully Will explained what a quest was in perfect wording.
"So now one of us has to talk to the Oracle named Rachel now?" Will nodded yes and so did Verxa instead of assuring me she was sending a sign of understanding. Alek stayed at the back of the group listening to every word but not saying one at all.
"What's wrong Alek?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong is that all of this is happening so fast and I am confused so much I am screaming in my head 'Curse Cydoimus'!" She looked at me with angry and hyper eyes like she could chop bricks with her hands for an hour. I tried calming her down but it wouldn't work. No matter what I tried she stayed angry. So I did something I never thought I would do in my life. I gave up. Katie just kicked a pebble muttering things I couldn't understand. I just listened to what Annabeth, Nico, and Will was saying should be on the quest. 'Aren't you supposed to figure out who's supposed to be on the quest after you hear the prophecy?' I just put the thought away and noticed we were at the Big house. We walked in on Chiron playing pinochle with a man with purple- black hair, purple eyes, a tiger striped shirt and shorts, and a boy with blond hair and purple eyes as well.
"Chiron we need to speak with you. We need a quest." Annabeth said to him.
"Annabeth what are you talking about?"
"Sam, Verxa, and Alek have been attacked by Gods today. Like right now."
"Are you sure this is what happened?"
"Yes, they said so themselves." Annabeth turned around to look at us and Chiron looked at us as well with questioning eyes. We all nodded yes.
"Very well. Who will be the one to talk to Rachel though?" We all looked at each other and they decided one of the three of us should go see the Oracle.
"Well the person who won't be scared to tell us the whole prophecy should go and find out what it is." Annabeth told us. Alek and I looked at Verxa.
"Fine I will do it…" With that she followed Chiron to set of stairs and she started climbing. Until I couldn't see her anymore I kept watching her making sure she was alright.
-Line Break-
Verxa POV
Okay so I was walking up the stairs like Chiron told me to do and found this type of door that you usually find in homes that lead to an attic. I walked in to see millions of things. For example: monster parts in jars, broken weapons with bloodstains, and things of the such. I then saw a girl with red short hair, paint splattered white shirt, jean shorts painting something on a canvas.
"I was wondering when you would come."
"What?"
"Hi I'm Rachel the Oracle."
"Oh, okay then my name is Verxa."
"Alright, well you need a quest huh?"
"Something like that."
"Okay so-" then out of nowhere her eyes turn to neon green. I stood my ground and walked back slowly. But before I could exit the place she started talking.
"Seven shall go to the home of the twelve,
To find what the threat of the eldest is,
They shall go west to find the hunt to find the sun,
To find the threat of the middle,
And to find the reason for the last cannot be answered only by death,
One shall pass for the saving of another,
For they will find the threat to be another.
And they will come back with six rather than seven."
"Wow. Are you sure?" I asked as soon as Rachel stopped chanting and the green was gone.
"The prophecies are never wrong." She sighed and we said our byes while she continued to paint. This time I saw paintings on the floor and walls. One with the empire state building on it, one of a war between monsters and demigods, and some of a celestial bronze knife I remembered as Annabeths.
-Line Break-
Katie's POV
Verxa came back with a look of confusion like she was trying to figure out what the prophecy meant already.
"Alright what was the prophecy?" Will asked quite excited. Verxa took a deep breath and told us the prophecy in that one breath but slowly so we could understand.
"Okay so Six shall go to the home of the twelve means we go to Olympus first."
"To find the threat of the eldest this means me."
"They shall go west to find the hunt to find the sun, to find the threat of the middle, which means we will have to find the Hunt which is my mom, then the sun part mean we need to find my uncle."
"And the last three," Alek started looking down, "means someone is going to die." Annabeth got up and clapped her hands.
"Alright now it's time to find out who's coming on the quest and who isn't."
"Yes for sure me and my friends are coming." The attacked girls stood up.
"Okay that leaves four more spots left."
"Okay what about the all the people in the room now?" Sam asked
"They deserve some credit." Verxa continued.
"I guess. I Annabeth accept."
"I Nico accept."
I Will accept" I have to admit I was kind of nervous. I wasn't sure if I could go. What about my cabin? Travis? Me? What if I was the one who was supposed to die?
"Katie?" I looked at where the voice came from and saw it was Alek. She had a look of worry across her face.
"I accept." I used a lot of my energy for that sentence.
Oh boy. What in Zeus' name have I done?
