Yo, yo, yo. I was actually able to write another chapter. No please hold your applause, thank you, thank you. Now this chapter has no action what so ever. It's mostly about Percy thinking. If you guys don't know the song Check Yes Juliet, you need to get out more. It's an amazing song by We the Kings and it rocks. Sometimes I just write the chapter, and then think of a title. That's what I did this time, and it all fit into place, so this title really fits, unlike some of the others. REVIEW PLEASE!!

Check Yes Juliet
When we got back to camp we were in for a surprise. We had been gone for five weeks, when we thought it was less than one. I guessed it was because we had been in Mt. Tam for so long, and when magical forces are somewhere, time travels slower. (Or is it faster? Someone review and tell me please!!) However we were treated like heroes. We succeed in saving Silena, which in turn saved the camp.
But I kept thinking about the prophecy.
Three shall go to the mountain of despair. We did that.
You shall face a traitor in their lair. That had to be Luke/Kronos on the Princess Andromeda.
You shall save another traitor. That was Silena.
Who will betray you later. Was the prophecy saying Silena was bound to betray us again?
A prophecy comes clear. This is what I still had to figure out.
You will need help from the all seer. We suffered through Apollo twice.
A love is worried for you. Maybe that was my mom. I still hadn't called her.
It could lead to the start of something new (ha ha). This is an interesting line. If it was my mom, what would be new?
In the end I figured I needed to talk to Chiron about his prophecy.
When I arrived at the Big House I found Chiron sitting in wheelchair-form, reading a book. I quietly approached him. "Chiron," I said nervously, "do you have a second?"
"Yes child." He responded.
"Ok. What was your prophecy, I really think I need to know."
Chiron sighed and put his book on his lap. "Percy, yes my prophecy is the one that will 'come clear.' However, now isn't the time for me to tell you. It is never good for a hero to know his fate, especially a hero destined for what you are destined for. I'm sorry, but you will find out soon enough." Once he was done talking he started reading again showing me the discussion was closed.
I slowly walked out of the room feeling as lost as ever. I had succeeded during the quest but now I felt like I had failed. Half of my prophecy still didn't make any sense and the only thing I really had done was saved Silena. But that was all I was supposed to do, right?
Then it hit me. It wasn't something from my prophecy, it was about Annabeth. She was still hurt that Luke betrayed her. I wanted to save him, and I wanted to be the hero, but I didn't want Annabeth to like that piece of crap guy. I wanted her to likeā¦never mind.
The more I thought about it, the more I hated Luke. Annabeth had always looked up to him, and the only thing he did was hurt her. Then I remembered something. If I didn't save him, I would be hurting her too. I would be just another Luke.
That was the last thing I wanted. I wanted to be Annabeth's savior, her crying shoulder, her hero. I also wanted her to like me as much as she had liked Luke. Do you want to know why? Well I'll tell you. It's because I like her. I really, really like her. I would do anything for her. If that anything involved me saving Luke, I would do it. So check yes Juliet.
