Chapter 7: New Plan
In the Big House, Percy and the other Camp Counselors (all except for Silena and Clarisse) gathered around the table and started arguing. They were furious about the treachery of Silena Beauregard. Some of them were arguing so much that they had their hands on their weapons, ready to fight.
"A traitor?"
"I knew it!"
"Oh, shut up!"
"Are you a traitor?"
"Enough!" Chiron shouted, who was right next to Mr. D. He slammed his fist on the table.
The whole room remained silent. Percy looked around and saw Annabeth simply tapping the surface of the table. The di Angelo siblings stood in the corner that was right behind the Stoll brothers. Grover wasn't around because he was looking for Silena.
The moment Percy thought of Grover, an image raced through his mind. He saw Grover sleeping. Percy and Nico were busy trying to wake him up. The image disappeared, and Percy gasped.
Chiron stared at Percy, "Perhaps Mr. Jackson would have something he would like to tell us..."
Percy sighed, "I think someone should go find Grover and assist him. After all, Silena is a trained demigod."
Mr. D nodded carelessly, "Sure. Take all the demigod in the camp if you want."
Anger sizzled inside of Percy but he calmed down.
Chiron nodded finally, "I agree with Mr. Jackson. We should send two volunteers to assist Grover Underwood and capture Ms. Beauregard. As humanely as possible. With Mr. D's permission that is."
Mr. D took a sip of his coke and burped, "Whatever. Go ahead."
After a long silence, Charles Beckendorf finally said, "I volunteer."
Chiron smiled lightly, "Excellent. Anyone else?"
After an even longer silence, Mr. D said, "Very well. Dismissed!"
Just before anyone could leave, Bianca stood up and announced, "I volunteer as well."
Percy looked a Bianca. Nico was horrified.
Mr. D stated proudly, "We have our volunteers."
The camper began to leave the room. Soon, only Percy, Chiron, Annabeth, Nico, and Bianca were in the Big House.
Chiron sighed, "What's upsetting you, Percy?"
Percy groaned sadly, "No matter what I do, I can't change the future! Now Kronos knows our plans!"
Chiron walked over to Percy and laid a hand on his shoulder, "Fate doesn't decide what happens, Percy. We do. That's the thing with our destiny. In the end, we're the ones in control of it."
Percy smiled. He turned to Bianca again and stood up. He strolled over to her. He heard Nico arguing with her.
"Nico, I promise. I'll be back."
"You're gonna get yourself killed, Bianca!"
Percy intervened and said to Nico, "It's her choice, kid. As long as she doesn't die, I'm okay with her decision."
Bianca weakly chuckled. She walked over to Percy and kissed his cheek.
Bianca said to Percy, "Watch after my brother, okay?"
Percy nodded, "I will."
Bianca then left the Big House. Percy thought about the visions. There were no visions of Bianca dying, so they were okay.
Percy stopped thinking and whispered under his breath, "Visions..."
Percy turned to Annabeth, who was staring at her, "Annabeth, I think I know who knows where Kronos is."
