I had moved into Cabin 3 later that night, Travis and Conner Stoll had been kind enough to me move the very little belongings I had, into the cabin. The Cabin itself was actually quite nice.

The outside walls were decorated with sea shells while the inside walls Cabin had been panelled with driftwood. Different shades of blue and green silken blankets had been folded neatly at the end of each bed And a trunk that was decorated with seashells, for clothes. At the end of the room, there was a small bathroom that held only a toilet, sink and a mirror.

The cabin smelt strongly of an ocean breeze and through the windows at the end of the cabin, you had a perfect view of the ocean that stretched on for miles and miles over the horizon. You could see the same view from my table in the mess hall. I smiled and threw myself on to the bed next to the window.

Being the only person in the cabin, meant that I instantly became the Cabin councillor, which meant I got to call lights out and choose my own schedule.

Annabeth was glaring me and wherever I went. In fact it wasn't just Annabeth, it was all of Cabin six. Athena and Poseidon had a lifelong rivalry, and had hated each other for millennia. So Athena's children naturally hated me, just as I should hate them. And to be honest, I was being to get very annoyed with them, so I believed that it wouldn't take long for me to hate them.

I know I said that I didn't feel comfortable around Annabeth, and now I knew why, but I had thought that she actually liked me, I had even began to like her back. But now that she had decided to ignore me, I take it back and she got spiders in her bed that night.

Then to make things worse, everyone had to wait for me at dinner times to sit down before they could actually eat themselves. I hated the way people looked at me whenever I walked into the pavilion, they stared at me with wonder, as though they couldn't believe that I was among them.

But it was the Monday after the dreaded Capture the Flag, that I had learned the hard way that things seemed to get worse before they could get better, and believe me, things definitely got worse.

Yet, out of all this there were a few good things that came from it. I became friends with the twins that helped me, Evangelia and Valentine Anderson, daughters of Aphrodite. Evangelia or Angie, was very girly and couldn't keep her hands from doing my hair, but when the time came she could be very violent. Valentine or as I called her Val, was always laughing and always seemed to lighten up the mood, but could be just as violent as her sister.

Angie had dark curly brown hair, while Val had bright red hair (she dyed it last year so people could tell her and Angie apart.) They also both had a special ability called charm speaking. It means they can charm speak people into giving or doing something, which in my opinion is pretty cool.

Angie was a good archer and Val was a great hand-to-hand combat fighter (and deadly if you gave her two daggers). They were also fare when it came to sword fighting, but they hid there skills because they didn't want to be different from their siblings. They didn't want to stand out.

It's been only a few days since I started talking to them and they already became in my circle of close friend which consisted of, Will (of course), Travis and Conner Stoll, sons of Hermes, and another new addiction to my group, Itzer Hale, daughter of Nyx.

Itzer had dark black hair and eyes, with pale skin, at the campfires I noticed she glowed like a star in the night sky. She was really shy and almost never talked, but she was really sweet. Her weapon specialty is knife throwing and she's really good at it, she once hit an apple of someones head from twenty feet away. She lived in the Hermes cabin since minor gods and goddess didn't have cabins.

Travis and Conner Stoll were full brothers, because Hermes stayed with their mom for a while. They were typical sons of Hermes and couldn't stay of trouble to save their lives. I also learned apparently they were very good at pranks, although I haven't been able to witness one, yet. Or fall victim to one. to be honest I can't wait they sooner they do something the sooner I can get revenge... I have a wired relationship with them, but I consider them friends none the less.

They were all a little odd, but they're really fun and I rather hang out with them.

I had been woken up an hour before I was even meant to be waking up, by someone banging on my door like a mad man.

"Grover what do you want?" I had asked him when I had opened the door, he had looked like he had just ran a marathon. His hair was all over the place and he was panting heavily.

"Chiron wants you," He said when he had managed to catch his breath. "In the big house."

I groaned and rested my head against the door frame.

"Couldn't he wait until after breakfast?"

"No, it's really important."

"Grover, its 7am. Can't he wait one more hour?" Grover shook his head violently.

"No, he wants to see you now!" I sighed in frustration before decided that I probably shouldn't keep Chiron waiting.

"Alright. Just give me five minutes and I'll be there." I didn't give him a chance to argue as I quickly shut the door in his face. I put on some clothes I borrowed from Angie and Val This better be good.

I found Chiron in the big house kitchen sitting in his wheel chair by the edge of a small table. Next to him sat Mr. D, looking as though Christmas had come early. Next to Mr. D, sat Grover, still panting after sprinting between here and my cabin.

Chiron smiled at me when he saw that I had entered the room.

"Good morning Chrysanthe, I trust you slept well?"

"Well I was, until I was rudely woken up ten minutes ago." I glared pointedly at Grover who held up his hands in surrender.

"Yes well, I apologise for that. But I'm afraid that there are matter's of importance that I must speak to you about."

"What could have been so important that I had to be w-"

"You have been accused of stealing Lord Zeus's master bolt."

The silence that followed this sentence was deafening. I sat heavily in a chair that faced the three men, well to men and one boy, at the other side of the table.

"What?" Chiron smiled sympathetically at me

"Your uncle, Lord Zeus, believes that you stole his lightning bolt."

"But I've never stolen anything in my entire life! Okay, I take that back I may have stolen a couple of things, but I wouldnt steal a bolt that belongs to Uncle Sparky. I'm not that good." Thunder roared over head at Sparky.

"I never said you did," Chiron said calmly. "But Lord Zeus believes differently."

I placed my head in my hands and sighed deeply, trying to keep myself from lashing out. "When did this happen?"

"Two days before we went to the Metropolitan Museum."

"That was four months ago! I didn't even know who I was then."

"My father, believes that somehow your father, managed to convince you to steal his lightning bolt the made you forget about it."

"That's stupid!" I yelled, cutting across whatever Mr. D was about to say next. "He's stupid to even believe that."

Thunder boomed threateningly outside making both Chiron and Grover wince.

"My dear, please be careful at what you say."

"I'll say whatever I want!"

"Chris, please sit down." I turned and looked into Grover's pleading eyes. I sighed and did as he asked.

"Why, does he think it was me?"

"Chrysanthe, Zeus and his brothers have been fighting for centuries. It's become second nature for Zeus or his brother to accuse someone of something when something bad happens."

"That's not what I meant Grover. I mean why does he think it was me? I would understand if he accused my father, but why me?"

"Because, Gods are forbidden to steal other Gods symbols of power. So now Zeus believes that your father asked you to steal his Lightning Bolt."

"But I've haven't seen my dad." I was about to add, since I was 7, but stopped myself. I didn't need to make things worse by admitting that I met him when I was 7 and probably when I was a couple months old, too.

"Your uncle believes differently." I placed my heads in my hands once more, why has my life gotten so out of hand?

"Is there any way I can prove him wrong?" Chiron stood up from his wheelchair and moved around the table to place a sympathetic hand on my shoulder.

"Lord Zeus will never admit to being wrong, but he has given you until the Summer Solstice to come clean."

"And when is the Solstice?"

"In two weeks."

"Two weeks? Are you kidding me?" Chiron shook his head at my outburst "How am I meant to prove that I had nothing to do with his lightning bolt in two weeks?"

"I have decided to give you a quest."

My eyebrows shot up into my hairline. "A quest?"

He nodded "Yes, a quest to find your uncles Lightning Bolt."

"You expect me to find a lightning bolt in two weeks? That's impossible."

"It may seem like that, but it's either try, or get sentenced to death for not trying to prove your innocence."

"Hmmm, they both sound very tempting but I guess I'll go for the first one."

"Well, as nice as this is. Shouldn't you be speaking with the Oracle?" I turned and faced Mr. D.

"The what?" He rolled his eyes and slammed his diet coke can onto the table.

"The Oracle. Styx Chiron, I thought you said she was your best student."

"She was, we just didn't cover the Oracle for long." Chiron defended me. "Demigods go to the Oracle to get a prophecy before going on quests, so that they know where to go, what will happen and what they should avoid. Of course there are many other reasons to gain a prophecy, but it is not necessary to go into it at the moment."

"Okay, so where do I have to go to be able to see this Oracle."

"Upstairs, in the attic."

I raised an eyebrow at him, "The attic, really?"

"What's wrong with the attic?"

"Never mind, let's just get this over with."

Chiron reached up and pulled open the small door that would eventually lead me to the attic. Wooden stairs unfolded themselves as the door swung downwards.

"Good luck Chrysanthe."

I turned my head quickly to look at him in surprise.

"You're not coming with me?"

He shook his head.

"Why?"

"Because this is something you have to do yourself," He patted my shoulder before moving to go back down the hallway. "I shall see you back down stairs when you are done. If you are still sane of course."

I laughed a bit, I was never sane. I looked up into the darkness that was the attic. I sighed before I started to climb up the ladder's steps. I wouldn't be that bad, would it?

A small square of sunlight shone through the partly covered window, giving me enough light to be able to see what was littered on the tables in the attic. A stuffed Hydra's head hung on the wall, how someone managed to get it like that was a mystery to me. Underneath the Hydra's head where many different pickled monster heads, I quickly moved away from those and tried to ignore the eyes that seemed to follow me.

I made my way towards a display of different types of trophies, that demigods before me had managed to win on their quests. One of which was a pair of fuzzy dice that someone called Gus (HAHAHA MR.D!), stole from Chrysaor's Honda Civic. I'm guessing he was a son of Hermes.

I stepped away from the display, and shook my head.

'You're up here for a reason Chris.' I thought to myself. 'Stop getting distracted.'

"Hello?" I spoke aloud.

"Is anyone here?" A soft bang caught my attention.

"Hello? Where are you?" I saw something move out of the corner of my eye and spun around hopping to catch whatever it was. When I saw what it was I had to hold up a hand to my mouth to keep myself from screaming.

Standing in front of me, dressed in clothes that looked like the belonged in the 70's, was a mummy. After realizing that it wasn't going to hurt me, I moved my hand away from my mouth and started to take deep breaths, which I realized to late was not a good idea. The mummy absolutely reeked, she almost rivalled Smelly Gabe in smell, almost.

Where her eyes had once been, were now dark caverns, her skin was now sunken in and looked as though it would disintegrate at the slightest touch. She wore one of those old hippy dresses with the colourful flowers and had multi coloured beads hanging around her neck. She looked creepy. I watched as her mouth opened and green smoke started to spew out of her mouth. More and more of the smoke started to crawl out of her mouth and till it came up to about the top of my knees. I jumped as I heard her ghostly voice in my head.

"I am the spirit of Delphi, speaker of the prophecies of Phoebus Apollo, slayer of the mighty Python. Approach seeker and ask."

"What is my destiny?"

The green smoke started to slowly morph into shapes, until I could clearly see my lovely step father and his poker buddies.

Smelly Gabe opened his mouth and out of it came the Oracles ghostly voice. "You shall go west, and face the God who has turned."

His friend on the left looked at me. "You shall find what was stolen, and see them safely returned."

The guy on the right threw down his cards and said. "You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend."

Then the guy in the middle looked my dead in the eyes and spoke in the same ghostly voice as the others. "And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end."

I stood paralyzed as I watched the green smoke make its way back into the mummy's mouth. If that was how all prophecies were, I don't think I'd like to have an another one.I stood there a while, trying to predict what could happen. I jumped as I heard the breakfast bell. Then, slowly, I made my way towards the ladder. I needed to get away from this place.

"So you're still sane huh?" I glared Mr. D when he spoke up. People already made they're offering without me. They were now eating and watching us with curious eyes.

"Mr. D please, let Chris sit down before you start questioning her."

"Yes Gus, let me sit down before, you start questioning me." I smirked at Mr. D when he glared at me, for some reason I found it entertaining when I made him angry.

"Well then Crystal, sit down and tell us what the Oracle told you."

I growled at him, "It's Chrysanthe!"

He waved his hand carelessly at me, before turning his attention to the newly opened can of Diet Coke.

"Chrysanthe, why don't you sit down, and tell us what the Oracle said."

Forgetting my anger towards the man in the purple shirt, I sat down and looked directly at Chiron.

"Well first she said, 'You shall go west, and face the God who has turned."

"Well that's obvious, you shall travel west. But who is the God who has turned? That is the question."

"Where, in the west am I going?"

"Think about it, if Olympus is above the Empire State Building th-"

"It is?"

"Yes, I thought I had told you that."

I shook my head at him.

"Oh, well in any case. Olympus is in the east, so what must be in the west?" I thought for a while, trying to think what could be in the opposite direction to Olympus.

"The Underworld?"

Chiron nodded.

"So I have to go to the Underworld? Are you kidding me?"

"That's what the Oracle told to do, so that is what you must do. Next line."

"You shall find what was stolen, and see them safely returned."

"Again obvious, you'll find the Lightning Bolt and bring it back. Clearing your name as well as your fathers in the process. Yet it says 'them', Hmmm. Next line."

"You shall fail to save what matters most in the end." Chiron looked as this line troubled him greatly.

"That one isn't as obvious as the last two. Either way, we mustn't dwell on these things. Was there anything else?"

"No."

It's wasn't as though I didn't trust him, I just really didn't like that last line, well, I didn't like the other lines either. But being told that I'd be betrayed by a friend really upset me.

Chiron seemed to realise that I was hiding something, but didn't press me on the matter and instead asked me something else.

"Who are the two people you'd like to take with you?"

"I only get to choose two?"

"Three's sort of a magic number with the Ancient Greeks," Grover answered. "So choosing two people to join you sort of makes sense."

"Well in that case, Grover. Will you help me on this quest?" Grover looked slightly surprised at this.

"Me?"

"Yes, you. You're my best and longest friend, I can't do this without you."

"That would mean we'd have to go to the Underworld. I don't like dead people." Grover started to panic and started hyperventilating, I think I even heard him bleat a few times as well.

"Grover, Grover calm down. You don't have to come if you don't want to."

He looked at me as though I suddenly announced that Clarisse was good company, "Of course I want to go."

"But you just said-"

"I know what I said but that doesn't mean that I don't want to go." I stared at him for a few seconds before turning and looking at Chiron.

"So that's one person, who else would you like to join you?"

This choice was easier than it had been when I was choosing Grover, "I want Will to come with us."

"What?" The four of us turned in the direction that horrible screech had come from. I watched in shock as Annabeth shimmered into existence, her baseball cap clutched tightly in her hand. Now every eye in the room was on us.

"Why him?"

I shrugged.

"Because I trust him."

"And you don't trust me, you won't take me?"

I sat forward in my seat, looking Annabeth dead in the eyes. I said in a cold voice that even sent chills down my own spine, "You haven't spoken a single word to me since I was claimed."

"I'm speaking to you now!"

"Yes now, but only because I've been given a quest. You used my friendship to win capture the flag, YOU! SET! ME! UP!"

The sky outside got darker and darker, wing blew the doors open and swirled around me. I probably looked pretty scary considering everyone in the room fled it, even Mr.D and Chiron moved away from me.

She looked down in shame, not saying anything else.

"That's what I thought."

The wind died down and the sky as well as everything else returned to normal. I grew dizzy and had to grab the table to support me. I looked back up at Chiron, "When do we leave?"

"As soon as the three of you are ready."

I stood and slapped my hands against the table.

"Well in that case. I should probably make sure that Will is able to come."

"No need," Chiron looked over to Annabeth who was still looking down at the ground. "Annabeth, be a dear and go and see to it that William is ready to go."

She nodded glumly before making her way back out of the house.

I nodded my head at him and turned to face Grover.

"Well? You coming?" He nodded happily and jumped out of seat.

"You gonna be okay Grove?" I asked him when we had reached my Cabin's door.

"I'll be fine, just get ready. I'll get all the money we'll need, so don't worry about that." I could tell he was still worried about going on this quest so I gave him a quick hug.

"We'll be fine Grover, don't worry, besides, what's the worst that can happen?"

I had been packing some pairs of spare clothes (which belonged to Angie and Val) into my bag, when someone knocked on my door.

"Come in." I called, not looking up from folding my clothes.

"I hear we're going on a quest?"

I laughed and looked up at the familiar face as I placed a shirt into my bag.

"Shouldn't you be packing?"

Will shrugged his shoulders, "I'm almost done, and besides I wanted to thank you."

I looked at him in confusion, "For what?"

"For trusting me."

"Your were my first friend here, why wouldn't I trust you?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. I just didn't think I'd ever be given a quest, let alone asked to join one."

I smiled at him, "Well, now you've been asked. And if you want I'll even ask you formerly if you'd like."

"You wouldn't."

I raised my eyebrows at him before moving to stand in the middle of the room and spread my arms out wide, "Will you, William Solace son of Apollo. Accompany me, on a quest to Hell to find my uncle Sparky' Lightning Bolt, in the hopes that I, Chrysanthe Herodias Jackson, daughter of Poseidon, do not get blasted to pieces by said uncle?"

Will laughed at my antics and applauded,"Of course I will. On one condition."

"Yeah? And what's that?"

"That you will never, ever call me William again."

I pretended to think about it for a second before sighing dramatically,"I can't make that promise."

Will laughed again and moved to leave the cabin.

"You are such a seaweed brain sometimes, you know that don't you?"

He left the cabin quickly, to avoid the shoe I had thrown at him.

Yeah so they're going on a little trip. Review.
