Me: HAPPY EASTER!I'm back! And I made a shabti! Everyone meet Antonia Chiquita Dulcinia Emiliana Francisca Guadalupe Hermosa Isadora Josefina Lucretia Margarita Noemi Olivia Primavera Renata Sonia Tatiana Ursula Valeria Ximena Yasmin Zinaida!
July: Why such a long name?
Me: Because I like super long names
Annie: But that's too long! At least give her a nickname!
Me: Fine. Everyone meet Betty!
Annie: Betty?
Me: Short for alphabet! Didn't you notice each name starts with a different letter of the alphabet?
Betty: I do not like my nickname. Why can't it be Supreme Ruler of Awesomeness?
Me: Because Betty is easier to type. It's either Betty or ABC. Now do the disclaimer.
Betty: Nope.
Me: Do it.
Betty: Nope.
Me: *Takes deep breath* Antonia Chiquita Dulcinia Emiliana Francisca Guadalupe Hermosa Isadora Josefina Lucrecia Margarita Noemi Olivia Primavera Renata Sonia Tatiana Ursula Valeria Ximena Yazmin Zenaida! You will do the disclaimer right now or I will crush you into a blob of nothingness!
Betty: Nothingness?
Annie: How late were you up last night?
Me: Midnight. Now Betty, do this disclaimer or I'll kill you.
Betty: She doesn't own anything from PJO! Don't kill me!
Everyone: I said crush, not kill. Now, On with the story!
Annie POV
After that, life slowly returned to somewhat normal. All the cabin leaders left on the Argo II to rescue some kid named Percy Jackson. So Nico wasn't at camp. Because so many other demigods were there, Chiron decided I would be safe at rehearsal. So I was able to leave camp once a week. To pass the time while I was at camp, I helped the Stolls prank Drew and the Ares cabin, and spent time with my friends. We all became really close. The only out of the ordinary thing I saw was Bob, Natasha, and Cee talking together a lot, but usually when Bob noticed I was there, he left to talk with me. When it was time for opening night of my play, he got the whole camp to come! I won the prize for most tickets sold! Anyway, when summer finally came, camp got a lot more crowded. I was really glad that I had moved to the Poseidon cabin. Everything was perfect. For my birthday I received some presents from my godly parents. From Apollo I got an O-pod. It has every song ever invented on it! From Aphrodite, I got this beauty kit that that could change my looks however I wanted! Eyes, hair, skin, the works! It came in pretty handy, as you will find out later. The only downside to it was that Drew was constantly bugging me about makeovers. Anyway, from Poseidon I got an aqua colored headband that turns into a trident. That shoots freezing cold or boiling hot water. Lastly, from Athena, I got an owl charm for my necklace that turns into a bow and arrows. But, the best gift was that people didn't stare at me anymore! Sure, the younger/newer campers whispered a little bit, but it was old news. Sadly, my happiness didn't last. For the record, Demigod dreams stink.
Annie's Dream
I fell asleep, very happy from the wonderful birthday I had, and my dream self went to the room where Aphrodite, Poseidon, and Athena were waiting. "Hey! I loved the presents! Thank you so much!" I gave them each a hug, and they seemed kinda shocked. "Where's Apollo?" I asked.
"He's been kidnapped by the enemy." Athena recited.
"Oh. That's not good, is it?"
"Nope."
"Okay. Well, why are you telling me?"
"So you can go tell Chiron." Said Poseidon, like it was obvious.
"Now?"
"No, in two years when the world ends. YES, NOW!" Screamed Athena.
"Okay, sheesh, you don't have to be so crabby you know."
"She has a point there." Agreed Aphrodite.
"Humph." Grumbled Athena.
"Anyway, when you wake up you'll find a bag of supplies at the foot of your bed." Declared Poseidon.
"Okay. Should I wake up now?" I asked.
"Probably...Also, you'll find suitable clothes on your bed!" Added Aphrodite as the dream faded, and I woke up.
Annie POV out of dream
I gotta tell Chiron! I hopped out of bed. Then fell on my face because I tripped over my own feet. I'm very, clumsy when I wake up. I decided my pajama's were fine and I would get dressed later and ran to the big house and started banging on the door. After about five minutes, Chiron finally opened the door.
"Yes?" He asked, yawning.
"Apollo's been kidnapped! Or godnapped, or something!"
"Come in and explain yourself, please." We stepped inside and I explained my dream to him. "That's not good. Stay here, I'll call a councilor meeting."
15 minutes later
"Why are we here at three in the morning?" Asked Will Solace, from the Apollo cabin.
"Because we have news that the prophecy has started." Replied Chiron gravely.
"Which one?"
"The one from the last councilor meeting."
"Where's the proof?" Asked Clarisse La Rue, head of the ares cabin.
"Anastasia had a dream. Please explain it Anastasia." Commanded Chiron gently. I was a little frustrated that he refused to call me Annie, but most adults did, so I wasn't too upset. Anyway, I explained my dream, but Clarisse didn't look convinced. Then again, I did prank her cabin.
"Why the gods talk to a little shrimp like her? Especially about something this important?" Chiron looked at me, along with everyone else in the room.
"Yeah, how do we know she's not just faking it to get attention?" Protested Drew. She honestly thinks I want more attention? She must still be mad about that prank. Why is she even here! She's not head councilor! Then I remembered that Piper was on that quest with Jason and Leo and some other peoples.
"Look, you want proof? I'll give you proof! First, you listen to my story, without interrupting, okay?" I almost shouted at Clarisse and Drew. When nobody objected, I went into the long, winding story of my life. It was difficult at first, but then I almost rushed it, like the story wanted to be told.
"Do you believe me now?" I asked, my voice level.
"Annie, I had no idea." Whispered Drew. Her look was almost sympathetic.
"Eh, I still want proof." Demanded Clarisse.
"Fine." I snapped. "Which god first?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't have powers over anyone thing, I have powers over whatever my ancestors controlled. They won't be a strong as the Olympians, but they're pretty strong."
"Aphrodite." Decided Clarisse.
"Okay. Jump three times." They did it. "Slap the person to your left." They did that. "Now do a ballerina spin." The did that too! It was very hard to keep a straight face.
"What was that supposed to prove?"
"That I have Aphrodite powers. Charmspeak!"
"So? I can charmspeak too!" Said Drew.
"Mine is stronger than yours. I could tell you to face what you fear most, and you would have to do it. No one can resist. Except maybe the gods, but why would I use it on them?"
"Okay, show us Apollo's powers." Demanded Will Solace.
"Anyone have any instruments?" Will pulled a harmonica out of his pocket, and some Hermes kid whose name I can't remember took a set of reed pipes out, probably stolen from a satyr. I concentrated on the Harmonica, and it played the song from Escape to Witch Mountain (There's a link on my profile). When the song ended I went to the reed pipes, and played a song. It was kinda eerie, but also beautiful. When the song ended, everyone was speechless. The first one the come to her senses was Clarisse.
"I still don't buy it." She scoffed.
"Apollo is also the god of medicine, you know." Cried Will.
"I have a burn on my hand from forging a sword yesterday!" Claimed what'shisface from the Hephaestus cabin.
"I've never tried healing before-" I started.
"Heal it! Heal it!" Chorused the leaders.
"What do you want me to do, buy Rapunzhair?" Then there was a confused silence. "You've never seen the Rapunzhair video?" Still silence. "I'll show you later." (I have a link on my profile) Anyway, I focused my energy on healing the burn, while whispering the healing song from Tangled. "Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fate's design
Save what has been lost,
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine...
It's the only healing song I know, okay? Anyway, whether it was the song or my powers, what'shisface's leg flashed rainbow and was healed. I know rainbow a weird color for magic light, but maybe my powers are from such different sources they couldn't decide on one color. Anyway,(wow I say that a lot) I was starting to think Clarisse just wanted to see what all I could do, because she still tried to make us think she didn't believe me. When she wanted proof of Poseidon, I made a giant tidal wave that nearly drowned the meeting, and when she wanted proof of Athena, they just asked me really hard questions, like "what is [7-(3-3(5-3)+2)]+3?" the answer was 11.
"There." I finished, having showed them everything. "Do you believe me now?"
"If nobody else believes her, I do." responded Chiron. "The gods don't talk to just anybody through dreams, even if it is an extraordinary child. Now accroding to the prophecy, you can choose six other campers. Who do you choose?"
"Lily, Ariana, Bob, Megan, Mel, and July." I answered, almost without thinking.
"Good. Now, you better get packed."
"Okay!" I started leaving. "Oh, one more thing," I said as I turned around. "I won't make y'all swear not to tell anyone about this, but if you do, just remember what I can do." Then I left.
Me: Finally, finished typing this!
Betty: You typed it? As far as I know, I'm the only one who typed anything!
Me: Well, I had to think of it!
July: Anyway, before this turns into a fight, REVIEW PEOPLE!
Me: Or I will call the spaceman to attack you!
Annie: You saw the season premiere of Doctor Who, didn't you?
Me: Yup. It's my favorite TV show! Again, HAPPY EASTER! Now goodbye!
