Chapter 11
Puck and Daphne had gotten a regular schedule around at Camp Half Blood. Daphne was always a little more enthusiastic, but he still followed her around. He didn't show his annoyance, especially on the first day. Daphne had taken Puck and Granny Relda to every cabin to say hello. Most of the cabins looked annoyed besides the Athena, Poseidon, and Zeus cabin. One of the cabins looked like they wanted to strangle them. At the end of the day, Puck wanted to strangle Daphne.
The rest of the days, Daphne had dragged him to all of the classes, so they could watch. They saw the Apollo cabin with archery, and the Hepheastus cabin with metalworking. Daphne was fascinated by that, and one of the girls gave her a metal unicorn. Daphne was so happy there was another round of the cabins to show everyone. After first visiting the Athena cabin, he told Daphne they shouldn't bother the hardworking campers. She was okay with it, but insisted on showing Percy, Sabrina, and Thalia.
Daphne had ran into the Zeus cabin to show Thalia. Puck had thought she was lucky to get the biggest cabin to herself, but she did look a little bit lonely. Apparently, Daphne had seen this too, and had stayed with Thalia for at least and hour, until they left to show Percy and Sabrina.
Percy and Sabrina had two huge coral beds for each other. Sabrina had told them that Poseidon didn't want her to sleep on the hard beds they used to have, and Percy looked like he was going to blow up. Puck and Daphne chatted with them for a while after Daphne showed the unicorn.
"So how's it been going Sabrina?" said Daphne, "I don't see you in the arena too much."
Puck had been noticing this too. They had seen Sabrina and Percy in the arena a few times, but never anywhere else.
"Chiron has been giving us private lessons," said Sabrina, a little uncomfortable.
"Why?" asked Daphne, "are you so bad he has to give you private lessons?" Puck snickered at this one, until Sabrina gave him a dirty look.
"No," said Sabrina, still a bit mad at the remark, "he's been telling us stuff, and teaching us different things."
"Why?" asked Daphne.
"Because we're children of the Big Three," said Sabrina, "and Chiron says we should know more for the war."
"Then why isn't Thalia?" asked Daphne.
"The Hunters are arriving tomorrow. Thalia is going to move in with them in the Artemis cabin," said Sabrina.
"New campers?" said Daphne, her eyes brightening. Puck groaned.
"What is it?" asked Sabrina, amused by their reactions.
"The marshmallow loves meeting the campers. Since there are new ones, I'm probably going to have to listen to them for two hours talking," he said, frowning.
Sabrina laughed. Daphne and Puck left to see Thalia again. Daphne wanted to plan the Hunters' arrival tomorrow. Puck decided to stay outside. He saw Percy and Sabrina talking and decided to eavesdrop.
"So you don't want to tell her?" Percy was saying.
"No," came Sabrina's voice, "I don't want her to worry about me."
"Sabrina," said Percy, disapproving, "you know it might not be you, it could be me."
"Percy," said Sabrina, "Chiron and I have been talking, and he told me I'm going to be the one in the prophecy."
"No!" Percy shouted, "Sabrina, I can't let that happen to you. I care about you. Dad cares about you. You have your grandma, Daphne, that fairy, and your uncle who cares about you. I won't let that happen to you."
"Percy, I'm not afraid of the prophecy. If it saves Olympus, I will die," said Sabrina.
"Sabrina…." Said Percy.
"Percy," said Sabrina, "if Kronos and the Titans rule again, there will be disaster in the world. I can't let that happen. I chose the prophecy, and the prophecy chose me. I will fight Kronos. If I die, I won't die letting Olympus be overthrown. If I have to die for Olympus to be saved, then I will sacrifice my life for the world."
"Sabrina," said Percy, panicking, "it's okay. You won't die, you're going to be fine." He seemed like he was trying to reassure himself.
Puck wanted to listen more, but Daphne came out of the Zeus cabin. He came to the front of the cabin, as if he had been there along. Daphne went on explaining about what she and Thalia had planned on the Hunters' arrival, but Puck kept on thinking about what Sabrina said.
I will fight Kronos. If I die, I won't die letting Olympus be overthrown. If I have to die for Olympus to be saved, then I will sacrifice my life for the world.
Why was he caring about this? Why did he care if Sabrina died? The thought of Sabrina dying felt like someone had pierced him with a dagger. He wouldn't let that happen. He had to talk to Percy.

Puck found Percy in his cabin. Thank goodness Sabrina wasn't there.
"Uhh..Percy?" Puck said. Percy turned around and looked surprised to see Puck there.
"Yes?" he asked, curious.
"I heard you talking to Sabrina earlier," said Puck.
"About what?" asked Percy.
"About this prophecy," said Puck, while Percy froze, "that she has to die to save the world. Is that true?"
Percy looked sad. "She thinks it is. Chiron does too. I don't want to believe it, but.." he trailed off.
"What?" asked Puck.
"There are too many signs. Sabrina has been having dreams about Kronos. That fairy told her she sensed great power around her. Every night, Kronos tell her she is the one. She believes it, and I think now, it's probably true," said Percy, sadly.
"Will she die?" asked Puck.
"We don't know," said Percy, "the prophecy said the hero's soul will die by cursed blade. That isn't necessarily Sabrina, but there is a good chance it is…." Percy looked so sad, it seemed like he was going to break down.
"How can we save her?" asked Puck, refusing to believe it was true.
"We can't really. She just has to be the better fighter. That's why she and I are having private lessons. Sabrina is getting help by some of the best half blood fighters in the world."
"You too?"
"I was," said Percy, "but Chiron said he is sure Sabrina is the one. So I'm going back to regular training with the other campers."
"You really care about her," said Puck matter-of-factly.
"Of course I do, she's my baby sister," said Percy, "I care about her a lot, and I promised our father she would never be in danger."
"She won't die," said Puck, not only comforting Percy , but comforting himself, "she's going to live. We'll find a way."
"You're right," said Percy, comforting. Puck left the room.
"Hey, Puck?" asked Percy. Puck smiled at his name, and turned around.
"You're not that bad. I don't really care now that you and Sabrina like each other," said Percy, and then he snickered at Puck's outraged face. Puck shook his head, and left the room.
Did you like it? I wanted a chapter with Puck in it, so I did this one. Also, it wouldn't hurt to review guys. I only get like one review each chapter.
