Chapter 37

Amber's Pov

The Harpies started laughing.

"Late night snack," One cackled.

"Yummy Half Bloods," Another agreed.

"Alex?" I called.

Nothing. Nico was still knocked out.

"Come on. Wake up Nico. Come on. A couple of undead soldiers would be good right about now!" I said.

He mumbled something, but still wouldn't get up. If I tried to scream, I would be dead in less than a second. If I didn't scream, I'd be dead in a second. Either way I lose. Dang. One of the Harpies flew at me, but an arrow hit it and it stumbled back. More arrows flew out and the Harpies retreated. I was about to turn and thank Thalia and the others when they burst out of the woods next to me. If they didn't fire the arrows... Oh crap times ten. I turned around to face the Hunters.

"Thanks?" I said in question form.

"May I ask, Half Bloods, why you are out here during this ungodly hour?" Artemis said.

I turned to Percy and the others.

"We... uh... thought we heard a monster out here," Percy said.

I turned to look at Percy. He shrugged.

"Ah, and may I ask what kind of monster you thought you heard?" Artemis asked.

"The... uh... Boogeyman?" Percy asked.

I facepalmed. Nico was starting to wake up.

"Uh, what happened?" He asked.

I moved my eyes to the Hunters. He followed my eyes and his eyes widened. He scrabled to get up.

"A-artemis," He said.

"Nico, Lady Artemis and the Hunters scared away the Harpies because they were about to eat us," I said.

If possible, his eyes widened as big as dinner plates. Artemis glared at Nico, then turned her attention to me.

"Welcome back Amber. I hope you do not make any mistakes in your new life," She looked at Nico distastefully.

"Um, Thank you?" I asked.

"Yes, if you ever would like to avoid one of the mistakes, find us. Otherwise, I suggest you get to your cabins before the Harpies wake Chiron and Dionysis," Artemis warned.

We nodded and darted through the woods to our cabins. Percy, Alex, Jenny, and I ran into the Poseidon cabin.

"That was way to close," I said.

They nodded. I went to my bunk. All my stuff was still there. I laid down on my bed. I heard Percy snore, so I sat up and threw my hairbrush at him. It hit his head. He groaned and rolled over. Alex, Jenny, and I started snickering. I fell asleep after ten minutes.

"You failed me again!" A deep scary voice boomed.

"I-I'm sorry sir. Malcolm told me-" Katie stuttered.

"Malcolm is gone! I'm here now and you failed me!" He said.

"I-I-I'm really sorry about my mistakes sir, but I promise not to fail again. I will succeed my next mission," Katie said.

"If you don't, I will send you to the pits of Tartarus!" He bellowed.

"Yes, sir. I will not fail you again," Katie said.

My dream changed...

"Luna, you have to listen to me. You have to go to camp with me," A satyr said to a girl.

The girl, Luna, shook her head.

"If I went to camp, the rest of the Olympians would destroy me. My mother would not be able to protect me from the others. I wasn't supposed to be born. I was an accident. Everybody would treat me like an outsider. I would be alone," She said.

"But Luna, if you din't go to camp, you could-" The satyr started.

"Die, be captured, and many worse things. But if I do go to camp, the gods will destroy me," She said.

"Luna, I have to reason with you. You can't stay out in the wild without protection. You wouldn't be an outsider. There are three children of Poseidon, a daughter of Zeus, and a son of Hades. They were outsiders at first, but they aren't anymore," The satyr said.

"I'm not going to camp and there's nothing you can do to make me change my mind," Luna said, putting her hands on her hips.

"I can contact your mother and tell her," The satyr said.

The color drained from Luna's face.

"No, don't call her. I-she-" Luna stuttered.

Then she relaxed.

"Go ahead and tell her. She doesn't care about me anyway. I'm not going to the camp," She said.

"Luna, please go to camp," The satyr begged.

"I'm sorry Elmo," Luna said.

The satyr, Elmo, blushed.

"I told you to call me Elm," Elmo said.

"How did you get that name anyway?" Luna asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, Elm is a tree and adding O works so..." Elmo trailed off.

"Okay, as long as you're not a red puppet thing. Anyway, I'm not going to the camp and that's final," Luna said.

"Luna..." Elmo looked around nervously.

He put his nose to the air and sniffed.

"At least let me come with you," He said.

"Elm..." Luna said.

"If you won't go back to camp, I'm going with you. I still have to protect you," Elm said.

Luna sighed.

"Fine. I'm going to get some breakfast," Luna said.

She took a bow and arrow from behind her and shot. It fell to the ground with a pheasant stuck in it.

"I think I'll stick to tin cans," Elm said.

"Suit yourself," Luna shrugged.

Someone shook me awake.

"Amber, come on. it's almost time for breakfast," Alex said.

I groaned and got up.

000

At breakfast, Grover came to sit with us.

"Grover," I said

He looked at me.

"Do you know a satyr named Elmo?" I asked.

Percy, Alex, and Jenny looked at me like I was crazy. Grover looked thoughtful.

"Yeah, I sent him off a couple of weeks ago," Grover said.

"I had a dream about him," I said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"He was with a demigod. The demigod refused to go to camp so Elmo stayed with the demigod," I said.

"He needs help. Who am I going to find to go and help him? All of my satyrs are all busy!" Grover said frantically.

"I'll go!" I said.

"I want to go!" Alex said.

"Me too," Percy said.

"I'm going," Annabeth said walking up.

"Don't leave me out," Nico said sitting down next to me.

"You know I'm going," Thalia said sitting next to Annabeth.

"You guys would do that?" Grover asked.

"I need to go too," Seth said jogging up.

"Seth!" Thalia jumped up and hugged him.

We were interuppted by a mummy. Literally. My eyes widened when I saw it. Her. Whatever.

"The Oracle," Percy said in shock.

"Wait, I thought Rachel was the Oracle," I said.

"I guess the spirit of Delphi rejected her and went back into the mummy," Nico said.

All of the talking in the pavilion had stopped dead. All eyes were on the mummy.

"A demititan and six demigods

Shall go find the satyr and halfblood against all odds

Four wolves and four vampires will will travel with thee

One will stay behind as Alice will see," The Oracle said.

Alice? How did the Oracle know about Alice?

"Somebody say my name?" Alice asked, coming into the pavilion.

We pointed to the Oracle and Alice eyes widened.

"What is that?" Alice asked.

Annabeth stepped on top of the table.

"Campers, please go to your cabins for now. Counslers, please come to the meeting room. Vampires and Werewolves, please come too," Annabeth said.

000

We all filed into the meeting room and took our seats. Alex, Jenny, and I had to stand because there weren't any seats there.

"Now it's obvious that the demititan is Jenny. Now, which wolves and vampires are coming?" Percy asked.

"I'm going," Seth said immediately.

Sam raised an eyebrow and Seth put his head down.

"Seth, Jacob..." Sam stopped and looked around at the rest of the wolves.

"I want to go," The girl, Leah, said.

"Leah, I don't think-" Seth started.

"I want to go," She said each word slowly.

"Leah and Embry," Sam said.

One of the wolves looked up.

"Me?" He asked.

"Yes. Now, Quil, Paul, Jared, and I are going back to Forks. Collin and Brady, you guys are going to stay here and watch the camp," Sam said.

"If Jake is going I want to go," Renesmee said.

"Renesmee..." Bella trailed off.

"Mom, I have to go! Pretty please?" She asked with a puppy dog face.

"I'll go with her," Alice said.

"I want to go!" Emmett whined.

"Nessie, you can't-" Edward was cut off by Alice.

"Edward, she is perfectly fine with me," Alice said.

They started arguing.

"ENOUGH!" I yelled.

They stopped and looked at me.

"All in favor of Renesmee and Alice raise your hand," I said.

Everyone except Bella, Edward, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett raised their hands.

"That settles it. They're going. Now the other two are?" I asked.

Bella, Edward, Emmett, and Jasper all raised their hands.

"What do you guys think?" I asked all the demigods.

Clarisse pointed at the two vampires that had taken the Cullens.

"Them," Clarisse said.

"But we-" The girl started.

"All in favor?" Clarisse yelled.

All of the demigods raised their hands. if they didn't, the would get pulverized by Clarisse.

"Then it's a deal. You guys are going. Now I'm leaving," She said.

She walked out the door.

"Sorry about Clarisse," I said.

One of the wolves looked distressed.

"Okay, Quil. Guys, we're leaving. Good Luck," Sam said.

Sam and some other went outside and ran into the forest. Leah muttered something about imprints.

"Let's go. We need to get there as soon as possible," I said.

"Amber, we need to rest," Annabeth said.

"I don't need rest," I said.

"Yes you do. Otherwise you'll be out of energy," Percy said.

I narrowed my eyes. He stared back at me. I gave up.

"What about Alice's vision. Have you seen anything yet?" I asked.

Alice looked at me and was about to say something when she froze. Her eyes got glossy and she looked like she was looking at a way new place. She stopped about seven seconds later.

"Everbody who's going was there and a satyr and another demigod. There was one person, but it was dark and I couldn't see who it was. No one will die. I would know that, but it's really blurry. It's a gir. That's for sure. I can't see who it is, but they won't turn evil and they won't die. So that's good right?" Alice asked.

"Very good considering how many people are going. Everybody get some rest. Do you need somewhere to sleep?" I asked.

"Jake's going to sleep close to Nessie. Embry, Leah, and I need a place to sleep," Seth said.

"Well, Seth, you need to be close to Thalia, right?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Then you'll go wolf and sleep by her doorstep. Leah and Embry," I looked to Percy and Annabeth.

They nodded.

"You guys can choose who's cabin you want to be in. We all have space... except the Hermes cabin," I laughed.

Only the demigods laughed. Connor and Travis Stoll glared, and the vampires and wolves looked confused. I shook my head.

"Anyway, what do you like to do?" I asked.

"I like to be better than boys," Leah said.

"That's a hard one. Annabeth?" Percy asked.

"She should go to my cabin," Annabeth said.

"I like fighting and stuff," Embry said.

"Nu uh. You only like fighting the others," Jacob said.

Embry narrowed him eyes.

"Oh bring it on Jakey poo," Embry said in a mock voice.

I saw Renesmee grind her teeth at that name. Jacob growled. Embry stuck his tongue out at Jacob and ran outside. Jacob stood up and he and Renesmee marched out of the room. The next thing I heard was a piercing howl.

Embry's Pov

I ran outside and jumped. Mid air I became a wolf. I took off into the forest. I could hear Jake's thoughts as he took off after me. I could tell Nessie had followed too.

Jakey poo. Jakey wakey. Jake-a-roo. Ugh... I thought.

Jake's thoughts weren't exactly wordy.

GGGGRRRRRRRR...

I ran even faster at that thought. I knew he wanted to tear me to pieces. That's when I heard it.

STOP!

I froze in my tracks. Sam's Alpha voice. Jake didn't stop. He kept running at me. There was only one thing that could make him stop.

"Jake, he's not worth it. Stop," I heard Renesmee say.

Jake slowed to a trot and soon stopped. I howled a thanks to the world.

You're lucky. Even though we're friends, it doesn't mean you can mock her... Jake thought.

Sorry dude. Just tired of imprints all around me. You used to know the feeling. Leah knows the feeling... I thought.

Jake looked at me and turned to walk towards Nessie. He ran into the woods and came back human with shorts on.

Dude, I saw that. Sorry about the imprint thing... I heard Quil think.

Where are you guys?

Somewhere in New Jersey.

Buy me a t-shirt.

Ha ha very funny. Anyway, the guys say hi, right?

Hey Embry.

Hi.

Hey.

There was silence for a minute. Then Quil thought.

Sam?

Yes, Quil?

Aren't you going to say hi?

Hi.

Great... Quil thought.

Guys, I got to go. Talk to ya later!

Peace out dog. Hehehehe.

Nice one Quil.

Thanks.

I shook my head and ran into the forest. I changed back and grabbed the shorts that I hung in the tree. I walked back to the camp woth no shirt on, but unlike Jake, I don't have a girlfriend who will kill you for hitting on him. The girls who saw me looked and stared. One of them was drooling. I like this camp.

Amber's Pov

Embry trotted back in.

"So, you guys come up with a cabin or am I booted off the island?" He asked.

Alex giggled. I shook my head.

He's to full of himself Al.

But he's cute Am.

Alex, he isn't the best. And if he got mad he could seriously hurt you.

He won't hurt me Am. He's actually nice.

Right.

Did you two know I can hear you? It's annoying. Finish this talk when you're alone. I'm tired of hearing girl thoughts.

Percy, we all have a special bond. Alex, you want to torture him?

Sure.

NO!

Shopping, dresses, perfume.

Purses, make up and...

We thought the next word really loud together.

BOYS!

Percy fell to his knees yelling.

"NOOO!" He yelled clutching his head.

"Jane! Stop!" All of the Cullens yelled.

"I'm not doing anything!" Jane said.

"Amber. Alex. Stop it right now!" Annabeth ordered.

She gave us her deluxe I'll-kill-you-slowly-and-painfully death looks. We backed down and Percy stopped holding his head.

"I'm going to KILL you!" Percy yelled.

Alex and I screamed and ran out of the Big House laughing and screaming. Jenny was next to Alex and Annabeth was helping Percy chase us. We ran towards the lake.

"Stay here!" Alex said to Jenny.

Jenny nodded and ran to hide behind a tree. Alex and I dove into the lake and shot to the bottom. I could feel the water and how calm it was as we were at the bottom. Then I heard Percy fly into the water. I could feel him though the water. He shot to the bottom where we were and Alex and I split directions. Percy paused after going after Alex. I slowly went to the surface and saw Annabeth on her knees looking for us. I concentrated and the water made a wave that pulled her into the water. I knew Percy would let Alex go to help Annabeth, so I shot through the water towards Alex. She flew past me, so I grabbed her arm. She stopped and we went to the edge of the lake on the other side. We climbed out, completely dry. I looked back and saw Percy helping Annabeth out of the water. We ran towards our cabin with Jenny. We went inside and started packing. We were still laughing when Percy came in with a soaking Annabeth. He put his hand on her arm and she dried instantly.

"Thanks," She said.

"No problem. And you two are the most annoying sister in the history of the gods!" Percy yelled.

"Why thank you," Alex bowed.

I giggled.

"Keep in mind that my girlfriend is a daughter of the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy," Percy reminded us.

"My boyfriend is a son of Hades," I said.

"I'm a son of Poseidon," Percy.

"I'm a daughter of Poseidon," I said.

"I'm the hero of Olympus," He said.

"Dang. You always have to bring that one up, don't you?" I asked.

"Yup," He smirked.

"I have to go," Annabeth said.

She kissed Percy and ran out the door. I changed and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night. The reason why? Somebody opened the door to our cabin.

Yay! New chapter!
