Okay first off people I am sorry this took so long, but I have reasons. No Really I Do, LOOK!

1. I have like three/four stories going on right now and its really stressful (Never do more than two stories at a time trust me)

2. I'm writing a novel so really I'm working on like four short stories and one REAL book!

3. I had horrible writer's block

4. I was helping Turkeyhead987 edit a story! *Turkeyhead: Hey leave me out of this!* Me: Whatever

5. My Computer was being stupid and wouldn't let me on fanfiction (It gave me this weird error thingy)

Now On To the Story!

Chapter 10: A True Friend is there to the End

I stumbled after Rachel as she pulled me along I was fine, a little confused, but fine. That is until I saw the edge of camp and kids running out of cabins.

Instantly I started to get nervous. I slipped my hand from Rachel's and began to run, but she grabbed me and said, "Kyja what's the matter?"

"Um, you see I can't go in there exactly," I stuttered.

Rachel blinked in confusion, "What do you mean? This is where all half-bloods go."

I just shook my head, "Not me."

Rachel just sighed and grabbed my hand, pulling me along with her, "Just come on it will be fine."

I struggled, but she wouldn't let go, "Rachel please stop you don't get it! I can't go in there!"

Rachel just ignored me and kept walking. As the camp drew nearer I began to hear the clatter of breakfast. I had to get out of here or Rachel would end up hating me too.

"Chiron!' Rachel yelled pulling me along with her, I looked up to see a bunch of horrified looks from the campers, yep I was a goner.

The second she was close enough a camper grabbed Rachel and pulled her away from me. "Hey!" Rachel protested. "What's going on? Let me go!"

"Stay away from her Rachel!" A boy yelled. "She's a monster!"

I sighed here we go again, now Rachel was going to hate me too, but she just blinked and asked, "Wait, who Kyja?"

She was answered by a bunch of nods and yeses.

I looked down at my shoes, she was going to hate me now, I was sure of it. That's why I was so surprised when she started to laugh and say, "wait, you're serious? How could Kyja be a monster?"

"You don't understand!" A boy yelled back. "She's a daughter of Nyx and can control shadow and stuff."

"Ya!" Another camper, a girl, continued. "And when she gets mad her eyes get darker."

I glared in the direction of the voices and to my surprise so did Rachel.

Then she said, with heavy sarcasm lining her words, "Yes because that's so much freakier then the mortal girl, whose eyes grow green, spews green smoke, and tells the future."

Her words made everyone in the room go silent and look at anything, but her. I just blinked in confusion was Rachel really standing up for me?

"What is wrong with you guys?" Rachel asked, starting up again. "How is it that you can be friends with the girl who spews green smoke, but not a daughter of Nyx."

Her words and glare made the room become even more silent and still. Finally she yanked her away from the kid who was still holding it and walked over to stand by my side.

Then with one final glare she turned to face Chiron and explained the prophecy. There were many gasps and whispers until Chiron stomped his foot er hoof on the stone floor.

"Settled down everyone now!" He yelled then continued. "Kyja you may take two people with you for the quest."

I stared down at my shoes, unused the attention I was now getting, as I thought a line from the prophecy, Of night, death, and love they will answer the cry. Echoed through my head, great the prophecy told me who to take.

I gulped and stated, "I'm going to need Nico and a person from the Aphrodite Cabin."

Instantly everyone in the Aphrodite Cabin, except Mckenzie (Who was too busy doing her hair) stepped back.

I sighed, but decided to go along with it, "Thanks for volunteering Mckenzie."

Mckenzie just blink and said, "Wait Night Girl say what?"

I smiled and said, "For volunteering, after all you steeped forward."

"Wait, no I didn't," Mckenzie cried, but was stopped by Chiron who said,

"I am sorry Mckenzie the Fates have chosen you for this quest, who will have to go," He told her.

"But, I don't want to go," Mckenzie whined. "My hair will get all ruined, and so will my make-up and my clothes and my—"

"Mckenzie you are going," Chiron told her, causing her to stop talking, but she did continue to glare at me for some time. Chiron satisfied turned back to me and said, "As for Nico I am afraid that he has left and is now missing."

"Wait! What?" I yelled my fear clear in my voice as I paled. How could Nico be gone?

Okay people sorry about the cliff hanger. Also I will most likely be starting the quest in the next chapter.

NOW PLEASE REVIEW.
