this chapter took me while to think of, but I think the plot I was hoping for was ruined in this chapter x.x
JACK POV~
"What does that even mean? Demons fighting demigods? Are you guys always fighting them?" max asked. I am surprise they let max sit here in this conversation. Guess it is a shadow hunter thing.
"No. max, we fight monsters. Mythology monsters if you want me to kind of discribe them. They do not come from any other world or dimension, they come from Tartarus." I explained to max. I do not know why, but I like max better then I like everyone else here. He kind of reminds me of myself from years ago.
"Why don't you guys make some kind of monster resisting thing to keep them there?" max ask
"Good question. Why don't you shadow hunters get forces to keep demons away?" I ask him
"We do. They are tower is Idris that keep demons out. There is none in New York though." Max explained.
"Cool, camp half-blood have a barrier that keep monsters out of camp." I tell him. That was when a guy who looked around eight teen walked in with Leo, Annabeth, and Jason. I am really surprised that Jason showed up with out piper, but I guess it is because of the three demigods per quest thing.
"Hey, max, have you seen Izzy and Jace?" the guy asks
"Izzy is training and Jace is with clary." Max says, and then the guy walks away leaving Annabeth, Leo and Jason at the door way.
Annabeth walks toward me, looking a little upset but not angry. I am afraid of what she was about to say, but I don't show it. I just stared back at her, waiting for a smart speech, or even a threat. But I got nothing. She just took a seat next to me while Leo and Jason took her example.
When the angry looking guy came back, everyone was here. The kitchen looks in danger of being filled to capacity.
"More demigods, Alec?" Isabelle asked, looking at the others.
"Yeah, they were waiting at the door when I made it here." The guy, Alec, responded
"This is like a convention. I hate it." Leo said, shaking his head. "So who are the shadow hunters who have to team up with us to save people?"
"What do you mean team up?" Alec asked
Annabeth stood up and started pacing. "We have to team up to stop these demons and monsters from over powering us. It is like they teamed up and us our differences and decided to trade attack roles. Instead of demons fighting shadow hunters, demons are attacking demigods and our monsters are fighting you shadow hunters. We both do not have the right weapons to defend ourselves, so lots of demigods already died because of this. I am not sure about shadow hunters, but I know the situation is close to ours."
"oridanally we were just going to get jack back. But now we have to save our species." Jason said.
No one speak for almost ten minutes after that until max got up.
"When you guys need me, I will be reading my comic books." Then he walked away.
"So… when are we going on an adventure?" Leo asked randomly
"You remind me of a certain geek of ours." Jace said, and then laughed when clary little hit him.
"Guys focus." Annabeth said. "From what the prophecy said, we have to go to a school. I do not like this certain prophecy, but going to a school will somehow help us with this quest."
"School!? Ok you have got to be kidding because that is just ridicules. Since when do a prophecy say go to a school?" Jason said. I'm guessing he did not know what the prophecy said.
"To stop this curse you must look for education first,
Find the missing piece of the rivalry key
Hand in hand you must stand
Or light will forevermore darken"
"So we do have to get to go to school." Leo frowned
"Not really, but we do have to look around a school. But which school." Clary said.
"How about Simon's school?" Isabelle suggested
"Yeah, let's just hope Percy was not kicked out of that school." Annabeth muttered under her breathe. Leo started to laugh, but stopped right away when she glared at him.
Leo cleared his throat. "Anyway, when are we going to start this spying?" Leo asked
"Leo it is not spying, it is searching for clues." Annabeth told him.
"What if we are not supposed to be looking for clues at a school, what if it meant something else, like we should look for stories about a curse?" Jason suggested
"Hmm, that is possible, Jason, but we should stick to the plan." Annabeth said after thinking. This conversation went by without a word from clary or Jace. I looked at them, trying to see what do they think about this, but Jace was missing and clary was looking into the hallway. I wonder what is up with them.
The conversations to me seem a little awkward o.o
