[Annabeth]

I woke up a little past midnight to the sound of Chiron loading up the infirmary beds with injured Campers.

Luke started to stir as I sat up to try to see what was going on. My eyes were taking a while to adjust to the dark, but after a few seconds I was able to make out the faces of the new arrivals.

Wait a second…

"Sally?"

Sally whips around to see me and frowns; she doesn't recognise me. Then why is she here if- Percy!

I search for him among the unconscious campers and am startled to find him asleep in a bed with an arm protectively around Nico, Bianca sitting on a chair and watching them both rest.

"Hello," Sally said tentatively. "It's been a while." She glances at Chiron who was looking at us in confusion.

Oh! She knows about the time travel, but she clearly doesn't know who I am.

"It has. Bet you don't even recognise that seven year-old runaway you housed four years ago," I say, giving her clues. "Does Percy still try to blame me for eating all the blue cookies even though I'm not there?"

She smiles, "Sometimes."

Luke stirs, sitting up. "Annie? What're you doing?"

"Remember Ms Jackson? It seems Percy is finally at Camp." I beam at him.

His eyes widened, "What?!"

Luke frantically searched for Percy, and when he spotted him, scrambled to his unsteady feet.

"Luke, don't!" I try, but he's already tripping over.

He falls to the floor with a crash. Bianca, simply watching the proceedings, went to help him up.

Percy and Nico both shot up at the sound, Percy with his hand around a dagger I've never seen before.

"Where's the danger?" Percy mumbled, only half aware of his surroundings.

I roll my eyes, "Go back to sleep, Seaweed Brain."

"Wise Girl?"

"Yes. You overdid it with your powers again. Go to sleep." I instruct.

Luke, at least now standing upright, grabs Percy in a hug and starts babbling apologies. Percy takes it, still confused, and hugs back.

Nico, who is far more aware than Percy right now, eyes them. "Should I push him off or can I go back to sleep?"

Bianca hisses a sharp, "Nico!"

"No, leave them. As soon as they're both fully awake they're going to do it again, might as well let them work through some of it now." I said, before stretching a hand out to Bianca. "Those idiots are probably going to all fall asleep where they are in a few seconds - you can join me here."

She looked surprised at the offer, but took it.

I turned back to Sally. "I suggest you stay the night, Ms Jackson. Percy and Nico will freak out if they can't find you in the morning."

She sighed. "Yes they will. I'll be in the Big House tonight; I still have to talk through some things with Chiron. Please wake me when everyone's coherent."

I nod, and burrow myself back under the blankets. A confused Chiron led Ms Jackson out of the infirmary towards the direction of the Big House.

Nico had already gone back to sleep, Luke had gone silent as he clung to Percy with all his might, and Percy was still fighting his exhaustion.

"So you remember, Wise Girl?"

"As if I wouldn't. You'd be lost without me."

Percy hummed, "Yeah, I need you to keep me in check. I almost murdered my step-father."

That made me pause. "Percy?"

A sleepy "Yeah?" came from the direction of the other bed.

"What the fuck? Go to sleep."

I heard a soft agreement from him before he appeared to pass out again. Honestly, what am I supposed to do with him?

[Apollo]

I panicked when I heard those words from my sister.

The Moirai were in the council room. The Moirai would realise that I'm not where I'm supposed to be. They will tell my father. Father will throw a tantrum. I might be incinerated. This is not good.

"Apollo, are you okay there?"

Hermes was peering at me with concern, confusion written on his face. "Is something wrong with the prophecy?"

I silently shook my head. My tan had faded, leaving me white as a ghost, and my hair had a few greys in it; I looked terrified.

Artemis grabbed my hand. "Do you know why the prophecy's changed?" I nod. She eyes me with trepidation. "Do you have anything to do with it?"

Once again I nod, and both of my siblings look at me with absolute horror.

"Apollo!" hisses Hermes, looking nearly as scared as me. "Why would you do something so foolish?"

"I- I didn't-" I stutter, "It wasn't on purpose!"

"How can you accidentally change a Great Prophecy?!" Artemis growls, looking frustrated. "Apollo, you idiot! What did you do?"

"Nothing," I insisted. "I just woke up this morning with Free-Will! Of course I was going to act on it! How was I supposed to know that it would render the prophecy null?"

Of course, I knew exactly what I was doing and how big of a problem this is. I just wasn't thinking of the consequences or that I would be caught so quickly. But I can't just tell my siblings that I'm a time traveller!

"You-" Hermes spluttered, "This is why you sent me to Camp this morning?"

"Did you want your son to die?" I snap harshly, "Because if I didn't step in that's what would've happened!"

Hermes reels back, looking devastated. "What?"

Shit. I deflated. I didn't want to hurt him, I'm just stressed. 'You wanted to be cruel to your brother.' a voice in my head whispered. ' You like watching him be miserable.' I waved the horrible thought away and opened my mouth to apologize.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you."

Artemis looks at me like I was crazy. "You never apologize," She whispered. "Apollo, what is going on?"

I faltered for a second before summoning all the strength I had. "I saw a future; a most horrible one where all our enemies rise against us. We beat them, twice, but the casualties were too high. Olympus was weak, I lost my godhood, there were barely two dozen demigods left at Camp. I saw this, and I can ichange it./i I don't think the Fates wanted me to see it, nor have Free-Will, but I don't care! I can stop that future if only I tried!"

Hermes and Artemis exchanged glances after my passionate speech. They looked concerned yet determined.

"How can we help?" Artemis asked.

Sally has no idea who this weird blonde child is. She goes with it.
