Hey everyone! This is chapter 11, YAY! I'm gonna start switching between my three OC's starting either this chapter or the next one so be on the look out. Enjoy!

Chapter 11

I wake with a start, and sit bolt upright. I'm in the back of the van laying next to the boy. I look around and see everyone asleep in the back accept for Annabeth who's driving.

I climb into the passenger seat, next to Annabeth. She just looks to see who it is and turns her head back to the road.

"Annabeth," I start, "Can I talk to you about something?"

"Sure?" She responds questioning me.

"Well, you know who really popular have a book that goes along with it, a companion novel."

"Yeah"

"The night before we got to Canada I got what I think is a companion to the Great Prophecy." She looks at, checking to make sure I'm serious.

"Really?" She asks quietly.

"Yes, the prophecy was,

The tagalong, the number eight,

Shall truly have the worst fate.

Frozen in time, alone they stand,

The fate of Olympus in there hand.

An impossible decision will end the strife,

A choice between love and life."

"Wait, so who's number eight?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you. My father also told me not to forget our latest additions, which Im assuming is the girl back there."

"Your father talked to you about the prophecy?"

"Yeah, thats how I kinda knew who we were looking for when we got to Canada."

"Did he say anything else?"

"Yes, he told me to choose wisely. Probably about sharing the New Prophecy."

"I hope so," she sighs.

"You hope so?"

"Yeah, I just hope he wasn't talking about some decision you might have to make."

"You think I'm the number eight?"

"No, you clearly will be our leader. So it can't be you, but there is still plenty of decisions you must make." I think she is telling the truth, I'm not positive though.

"Who do you think it is then?" Her face drops into a look of sadness.

"I… I think its Percy." Of course he's the first one she'd think of. They've been through so much together and now I've just burdened her with another way he could be taken form her. I'm so stupid.

"Percy, really?"

"Yes. What if Nico's right? What if Percy can't be part of 2 Great Prophecies?" Annabeth veers to the side of the road, and starts sobbing. She cries into her hands.

"Annabeth, hey, its gonna be okay. I don't think Percy will be number eight. I doubt he'll be the center of one Great Prophecy, and the center of the next one's companion."

"You really think that?"

"Of course I do. He's going to be fine, and so are you." She looks up, wiping the tears from her face.

"I'm sorry Jillian. I usually don't cry like that. Its just when disappeared I didn't know what to do, and just the thought of losing him again…"

"I get it, I love him too. He's the best brother ever." She just smiles.

"Oh yea, I forgot you two a siblings, well I guess we are too."

"I guess we are." I smile at my new friend and sister.

"Thanks Jillian."

"Hey, thats what friends are for."

"Of course. I guess you were right." I give her a look of confusion. "When you said you thought we'd be great friends, you were right." I smile.

"Annabeth, can we keep this between just you and me. I just don't want to freak the others out."

"Totally, I won't tell anyone, not even Percy." She says, winking at me.

"Okay you have to teach me how to wink, apparently I look like I have an eye twitch when I try to wink."

"Let me see," she says, and I wink at her. She bursts into a fit of laughter.

"You do."

"Hey, its not that funny."

"Yea, it kinda is." She just can't stop laughing. "How about I give you some lessons when we get back to camp?" She says as she restarts the van and pulls back on to the road.

"Thanks."

We talk, and talk about random things, until we find a subject that we both could talk for hours about, architecture. Well Annabeth loves it, by I prefer the interior design aspect, but the two subjects are close enough together where we can talk about our most favorite things in the world without boring one another. We joke about opening a company together, Athena Architecture and Interior Design. Our mother would love it. We talk, just the two us, as the others sleep until we reach New Hampshire, where I drive to New York.

No monsters one the way back, I'm impressed. Its probably two in the morning when I drive through the invisible wall that separates Camp Half-Blood from the real world.

Chiron welcomes us and after we help bring the two, still unconscious demigods to the infirmary, he sends us to our cabins. Percy and I stumble blindly back our cabin, and fall asleep the minute our heads touch the pillow.

I know this was a super short chapter but I really wanted to show the whole Annabeth-Jillian BFF thing so everything makes sense later in the story. Sorry for this filler, instead of one with real content. I promise the next chapter will be longer and better.

Luv Always
