Chapter 2

The next day, Chiron said I was free to go back to my everyday activities. Thank the Gods, after I get stuck in the Big House for a night all I want to do is kick a whole lot of but in the sword arena. I ran up to the Ares cabin, knowing that Clarisse was always up for a fight.

"I said no Genevieve, leave it at that!" Clarisse growled at me.

"I just don't understand, Clarisse, you are always in the mood to battle," I told her.

"You want to know why I don't want to go down to the sword arena do you?" I nodded my head yes. "THAT STUPID BOY THAT BROKE MY SPEAR IS DOWN THERE!" Clarisse bellowed.

"Okay," I whispered and ran out of the cabin.

I've known Clarisse for four years and she never ceases to scare the living crap out of me. I could almost feel tears coming into my eyes from her last outburst. Why on earth do the children of Ares have to be so rude and down right scary all the time. If this is what demigod children of the god of war were like I never want to meet their father.

-O-

When I finally reached the sword arena, Luke was giving Percy a one on one sword lesson.

-O-

As the days went by, I noticed more and more people trying to stay away from Percy. Luke still gave him sword lessons and Annabeth still taught him Greek, but other than that he was alone. Well I guess not completely alone if you count Grover, which I don't really, most of the time he is too busy nibbling on cans to provide any real company. Looking at Percy, I almost felt bad for him being so alone, but a part of me knew how he feels. When I first got here and everyone learned what I could do just about everyone stayed away from me, even some of my siblings. The only people I could count on were Luke and Annabeth and it looked like they were doing the same thing for Percy so I knew he would be fine.

That night I had a bad feeling before I went to sleep. It almost felt like I was going to have another 'Oh you are the chosen daughter of Apollo, let's have the Oracle of Delphi let you see things' moment. In my dreams that night I heard whispering, but it was to quiet to understand and glimpses of a dark crevice in the ground.

I woke up with a start. My brother Micheal was standing over me, looking at me with a worried look on his face.

"Hey, you okay? You look like you just went on a trip through Hades." Micheal asked in a soothing voice. If there was one sibling I could always count on it would be Micheal. He always cared enough to make sure I was okay and generally just made me happy.

"Yea, I think I'm good. Just a dream."

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.

"I would love to talk about it, if I knew what I had seen. It was weird, almost like I was watching someone else s thoughts." I told him in bewilderment. The dream I had last night had been the strangest one yet and only because I couldn't explain any of it. Not knowing things is definitely something that I'm not used to.

"Well, the cabin is about to have a volleyball game against the saytars if you want to join us." Micheal told me.

"Oh I'm so in! Just give me like five minutes to get dressed."

"Kay, meet you down at the volleyball pit." Micheal said, walking out of the cabin.

-O-

As soon as I was dressed, I sprinted down to the volleyball pit. This is just what I needed, fun free time with friends.

Soon the Apollo cabin was winning the game and when you are against the saytars sadly that isn't really saying much. The saytars always seem to fall over their hooves in the sand. It was my serve and as soon as I threw up the ball, my mind went blank. I saw a face. The face of the son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson. The voice in my head stated a prophecy.

You shall go west, and faced the god who has turned.

You shall find what was stolen, and see it safely returned.

You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend.

And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.

I came back into conciseness and felt the ball hit my head. "Gen, you okay?" asked Will.

"Huh, oh, yea I'm fin, but um i got to go. Someone take my place!" I shouted as I ran to the Big House.

-O-

When I reached the Big House Grover and Annabeth had already volunteered for Percy's quest.

"So a trio, that should work right?" Percy asked Chiron.

"According to our rules you may take one more camper with you Percy." Chiron stated.

I ran into the room. I was not missing my chance to get out into the real world for some actual fighting. "I'll go!" I shouted.
