I do not own Percy Jackson.
Thank you to those who reviewed, which would be... Nobody! :(
Chapter 5: Prophecy? Vampire? What?
What is going on? Nico wondered. Percy's body is here, and his ghost is in the underworld. It's almost like- No. He has the curse. Nothing can break through it, not even a god's weapon. Unless... There are rumors. But I've never really dealt with any demigod ones. For all I know, Percy is the first. Of course, I could ask Annabeth, but Percy asked me not to tell anyone.
An hour of pondering later, Nico decided to visit Rachel. He would just have to ask about Percy, and she wouldn't interfere or wonder. People had done so before.
Rachel hummed as she sketched. Her cave was the perfect shape for an echo, and it sounded nice, almost like she was singing into an invisible microphone.
Just then, she was suddenly interrupted by Nico's voice saying, "Can I come in, Rachel?"
"Sure!" The oracle called, hastily throwing her drawing things into their drawer. She didn't like other people seeing the pictures until they were completely finished.
Rachel looked up just as Nico entered. "What's going on?" She asked. Sure, they would hang out sometimes, especially since they were the oddballs in camp. Them and Percy. Oracle and mortal, son of the death god who was over 70 years old, and the forbidden son. While they had been accepted, especially Percy, they were still different.
But still, they only came to her cave when she invited them. It would be almost rude otherwise, considering she kept to herself a lot. Rachel then realized Nico was talking, "-And so, I was wondering if I could ask you a question?"
"What? Sure, I guess. Go ahead."
He nodded, looking relieved, then asked, "Has anything major happened to Perceus Jackson?"
Rachel had time for one startled look at the particular question before the oracle possessed her.
"Bearer of the Achille's Curse,
Shall now bear something way much worse.
One that breaks through stone,
and is forever worn.
No way out, is his way,
unless his soul goes astray.
A captive of the endless time,
the bat shall fly forever more."
Rachel coughed as she came out of it, leaning back into the old blue couch. Catching sight of Nico's horrified face, she asked, "What did I say?" As the boy hurried out, she cried, "Nico! What did I say?" making it into an almost wail. "Nico!"
She had no idea that she had just confirmed Nico's worst fear. Perseus Jackson, Hero of Olympus, Completer of Multiple Quests, Son of Poseidon, was now a vampire.
There you are! Hope you like it. Please review!
