Hello again guys,
here is the next chapter. As always Read and review.
Percy's POV
I can't believe we have the lightning bolt. What if someone finds out? I thought worriedly. Hmm… maybe Liam shouldn't have brought the shield with him. We'll just say we were training if anyone asks. I turned my head to see some other campers, they had their shields and swords with them too. How often does Chiron call a meeting...maybe it's about the lightning bolt...I thought saw Luke then, heading in the opposite direction but I was obviously mistaken. I then spotted a familiar looking satyr looking at us both. It looked like…
"Jack!" Liam exclaimed. Jack suddenly looked relieved as I am guessing he couldn't tell which of us was which.
"Hey Liam…Percy" he said looking at each of us in turn.
"Hey" I mumbled quietly.
"What is this meeting about? You know?" he questioned. I turned deathly pale and for a moment I thought he knew everything. Liam looked down and I tried not to look straight into Jacks eyes but Satyrs can pick up on emotions. Worried. Scared and Frightened. Well that was what I was feeling as I remembered that the prophecy …
"The umm…we think it might be about a prophecy…" I stuttered and increased my walking pace. Jack nodded at me. I could tell he was gonna ask more as he furrowed his brow in concentration but decided not to. He made the right decision. Liam and I were now standing by the rest of the campers. All seemed to have brought some weapon with them… maybe 5 dongs means DANGER; it's a very complicated DONG system. Chiron was standing at the front and when he cleared his throat loudly, he received everyone's attention.
"Firstly, it is time for you all to hear the great prophecy.
Only two shall answer the call
If not all of Olympus shall fall
The two that can become one
If not the battle will be lost not won...
One shall however fall
The other shall deliberately brawl
Though both will soon we reunited
And gain more than at first could be sighted
Poseidon will fall
But never be forgotten
He shall later return
Before the trident sinks to the bottom.
Olympus will be at peace at last
And many troops will raid
The greatest battle known to all
That even Hades gives his aid."
Everyone grew silent. It was not only a prophecy is was THE great prophecy. A few people turned to stare at us and a few turned to stare at them who turned to stare at us wondering why they were staring if that makes sense. Probably not, oh well. The camp suddenly burst into whispers, I could feel people pointing at us…If this was the first time I had heard the prophecy, I probably would have fainted, unfortunately the prophecy was told to Liam and I meaning that we are the ones mentioned in the prophecy. I mean, who else can conjoin as one?... no one! Chiron interrupted everybody's thoughts by exclaiming,
"AND ALSO… Zeus's lightning bolt has been stolen by someone in this camp. As you can see, it is almost constantly raining and producing lightning-wanting to get back to its owner. This means the lightning bolt IS IN camp and I want whoever has stolen it to own up immediately. However, if this person does not…, then we have a traitor in camp…and so everyone act with extreme caution."
A loud chatter suddenly broke out and I turned to face Liam with a grave look on my face.
"Don't say anything" I mouthed silently to Liam. "Do NOT own up, they'll think we stole it". Liam nodded but bit his lip none the less. I could sense Liam tighten his grip on the shield, well the lightning bolt. I made a silent prayer to the Gods praying for our well being. You never know they could be listening.
I wonder if they know we have the bolt? I thought silently. The rain got heavier and I looked up to the sky and so did many other campers. I saw a girl staring at me. A curious look in her eyes…like she was suspicious.
"What are you staring at?" I snapped
"My name's Amelia, daughter of Apollo, nice to meet you to!" she replied beaming. I shook my head smiling,
"Percy, son of Poseidon"
"Oh yes! I knew that! And this must be your brother Liam!" she smiled and we took it in turns to shake her hand. Some thing Liam and I could never do. Unfortunately Liam and I made contact by are arms swiftly crossing but it was long enough for the blue wispy stuff to appear.
"What the hell was that?" Amelia exclaimed. I sighed and grabbed hold of Liam's hand. The blue wispy stuff grew thicker and we quickly became one.
Amelia dropped the sword she was holding.
"WOW!" she exclaimed so loudly some other campers turned their heads to see only one of them.
"Hey which one are you?"
"It's Percy isn't it?"
"Liam's the thief!"
"SHUT UP guys. This is Perciam" Amelia exclaimed then giggled loudly. "See its Percy and Liam so it's Perciam" the continued beaming loudly.
"You know we can speak for ourselves you know" Liam and I said. More campers turned to see what was going on. Our voice was so weird. I could feel me saying it, but Liam was saying it at exactly the same time. Most of the campers had turned to see what was going on and I heard Liam speaking to me inside my head…I mean our head…you know what I mean.
I think the whole camp is watching…shall we let go? He whispered. I did not reply but began to let go of his hand. I know technically we weren't holding hands but I could subconsciously feel myself grasping his hand and I am sure he could feel mine. Seems a bit gay doesn't it. Don't worry, I'm not gay. I know who the girl of my dreams is…Annabeth Chase. Oops, did I say that out loud. I looked around. No I did not, thank goodness.
The blue mist rose up again and we resumed our two separate bodies.
"That was awesome! Do you know what this means?" she giggled excitedly, "You guys get to go on a quest and you've only been here a couple of days Liam! You're so lucky. I wanna give some monsters some of the Amelia… bucket!...did I just say bucket? Oh well!" she grinned cheekily. This girl was beginning to annoy me. Did she not realise the gravity of this situation. God I wish Annabeth were here right now. Amelia was kinda bouncy, well energetic; she was like a four year old. I think she has ADHD way worse than anyone here….but I won't tell anyone else that! I could see Liam kinda staring at her longingly. Did he really fancy her.
She's a little ray of sunshine Liam spoke into my head and I sighed.
"Urh…! It's started tipping it down again. I HATE THE RAIN… I love the sun though!" Amelia pronounced.
Maybe she's crazy! I thought.
Hey Perce, don't be hard on her. She is a daughter of Apollo after all! Liam spoke to me inside my head. My eyes widened slightly and I turned to face Liam.
Can you tell what I am thinking…? I thought and I saw Liam's eyes widen.
That's cool. He said at last. I silently agreed with him.
"HELLO! Anyone in there! I don't like being ignored you know!" she shouted at us cheerily.
Liam laughed.
"What's so funny?" she said grinning,
"I don't think any thing can bring down your spirits!" I laughed. She looked straight into my eyes then and tried to put on her incredibly serious face. I am afraid she failed miserably. All three of walked back slowly to the cabins laughing. I think some campers were a bit confused. They witness an amazing event then we walk off without another word on the matter. By amazing event I mean us. I think Liam might really like Amelia. I could understand why. She had shoulder length glossy light brown hair and a dazzling smile! I say dazzling because it was like the sun was trying to shine out! But… in my perspective, she was nothing compared to Annabeth. I missed her already.
"Oooh! By the way, since Annabeth has gone on her quest I've been told by Chiron to carry on teaching you ancient Greek! Should be FUN FUN FUN!" she giggled. I saw Liam burst into a grin; it was almost as bright as hers which scared me a little. Could I really look so…what's the word… Damn, I lost it. Nevermind.
"Wanna do some now?" she asked excitedly. I looked at Liam.
"Θα είμαστε;" I turned to look at Amelia. I didn't think she would be so bright and now I feel real bad for 'judging a book by its cover'. I understood perfectly although Liam looked a bit more confused. He had only had well… no lessons on the subject.
"Ας το κάνουμε αυτό" I replied. Let's do this. Amelia grinned in reply.
"We'll go to cabin number 3. Our cabin. I think that your cabin may be a bit over crowded." Liam stated.
"You got that right!" Amelia said cheekily. I rolled my eyes and led the way.

Just as a by the way. If any of you are wondering why it is rated a K+ . it is because of the actual story line. Not bad language.
