A/N: Alright! Chapter 3!
I don't own Percy Jackson.
Nothing Greek belongs me. Only the main character , Brooke Tyne, does.
Also, for fans, remember, you always need chapters that don't always consist of action. You need important info-filler chapters.
Please Enjoy!
Chapter 3
Nico walked out of the shadows only seconds later, but to me it felt like years. Our surroundings were mainly weird-looking wildlife, wildlife as in creatures-who-look-like-they-came-out-of-a-kids-picture-book weird. A man that had a horse lower body but a human upper body approached us and as he was talking to Nico all I heard before I slipped into unconsciousness was, "No, it's too early! She shouldn't be here yet!"
My breath started to become shallow and my vision was overtaken by a curtain of black.
The next thing I knew I woke up on a cot with people standing around me with notebooks.
"What the-? What are you doing? Studying me? I don't think I'm that interesting." I retorted at their actions.
"Told you." Nico mumbled to the horse-man.
"Now, Nico, she's just confused. Hello, Brooke Tyne, my name is Chiron." the horse-dude smiled and lifted his hand out for me to handshake.
"Um, yeah, hi," I said as I shook his hand, "How do you pronounce that professionally?"
"I just said it the way it was supposed to be said."
"Exactly. Sometimes things aren't what they sound like or are. Because apparently this dude Nico here can fight some stupid Minotaur with a sword that can fit in his locker, retrieved from his friend with a blue pancake, which is awesome by the way; and then he can walk into shadows and transport anywhere!"
"I don't think that applies here." Nico replied.
"Oh yeah you just hit me in the head with a rock and I imagined all of those things. I know what I saw and what I witnessed! And now were in some camp in the wilderness with little goats walking on their back legs-"
"Hey!" One of the goat people protested.
"- which is just weird. I mean, seriously, walking goats? Can anybody come up with better ideas? It's just a rip off of Greek mythology!" I continued.
"That's because this is Greek mythology. And they are satyrs." Chiron stated.
"Whaaat?" I asked and tilted my head to the side like a puppy begging for food.
"Mr. Jenty, would you please walk her to the Big House and let her watch The Movie?"
The Movie. Wow, what an epic name.
The satyr, Mr. Jenty (weird name, huh?) lead me to a white house with trimming on it.
I'm gonna skip the whole me going "Omigosh I'm a half-blood but I don't know who my Greek god parent is because they haven't claimed me yet!" thing because, really, who wants to read a whole chapter of that?
That's right!
Not me.
Especially since I have to write this story to tell you about my life!
"Okay, so you're saying, and I'm just going to sum all of this up, I'm some half-blood that has a Greek god as a parent, most likely my mom, because the gods just felt liking hitting it on with humans? Seriously, no self respect, or respect for anyone else if you ask me." Thunder rumbled in the distance. "Yeah, keep complaining you old storm cloud." I mumbled.
"Never," Chiron put his hand on my shoulder, "talk to a god like that. They will be angry. And you never want a god to be angry, especially Zeus."
"Are you kidding me? Just because Zeus is the supposed leader of the Olympians, that doesn't mean he's the most important!" I could hear lightning and thunder in the background again. "Suck it up! You're all equals!" I yelled to the sky. The thunder surprisingly stopped.
"What the?" Nico looked across the sky, "That's a first."
"Anyway, Brooke, we'll let you go to the 'Unclaimed' cabin for now until you are claimed." Chiron gestured his hand toward the almost empty cabin whatever number it was.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll go there."
When I entered the cabin there was only a few bunks that looked used. Wrappers were splayed across the ground, along with jackets and socks.
"Oh, hi there!" I jumped and turned around. A girl was standing behind me. She had curly read hair and was wearing paint splattered jeans and t shirt, "You must be Brooke. I'm Rachael."
I shook her hand, "Hi. So... you're the Oracle?"
"Yeah, it's a pretty strange job."
"I can believe that."
"Uh oh, it looks like it's time for dinner. Follow Josh, he's the black-haired guy with the black jacket."
"Thanks, Rachael. I guess I'll see you later."
I walked over the the guy, "Hi, I'm Brooke,."
He smiled, his teeth were white. I mean, white white. As in REALLY white, he was about 15 years old, "Let me guess, you need to follow us to dinner?"
"Um, yeah. I guess there's just things I don't know, not surprisingly."
"Cool, come on follow everyone else in the line."
I walked to the back of the line. Everyone got a plate of food and sacrificed half of it to the gods.
"They must have to work out a lot." I muttered sarcastically.
As I approached the fire I knew people were staring at me; just waiting for a symbol to appear above my head so I was claimed, but that wouldn't happen. I put half of my food in the fire and said, "To whoever is my godly parent, yeah, so, um, thanks. And while you're at it, tell Zeus that the multiple tornadoes need to stop, thanks!" I quietly requested.
The fire grew tall and roared like a lion as it is about to kill it's prey.
"Oh my gods!" I yelled and jumped back.
A figure appeared in the fire, it looked like a normal person, but made of fire. That's gotta hurt.
"Brooke Tyne." It muttered loudly.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Brooke Tyne."
"Yeees...?"
"Brooke Tyne."
"What do you want o strange figure made out of fire that is freaking everybody here out?"
"It has started."
"Is that it? That's all you're here to tell me? 'It has started'? Well, that's lame! Thanks a lot for that information!"
But, of course, I was dead wrong. The fire blew up to be the size of the universe with a blue glow color than shrunk back and returned to look like the normal Camp Half-blood campfire. At least all of our marshmallows were roasted.
"Oh my gosh! Is everyone okay?" Rachael asked.
I looked around, everyone seemed to be recovering from the shock. All except Chiron, he looked more than shocked, he looked scared... frightened actually, like someone told him that all of the people left in the world can't eat chocolate ever again... the horror.
"Chiron? Are you okay?" I approached him slowly, as if he were a hurt animal. I know, bad pun.
"I- I'm fine. Gather all of the cabin leaders, and you, Brooke, there is something we need to discuss." He walked/I guess trotted? Away.
"What was that all about?" A girl from the Athena cabin cried out.
"It's gotta have to do something with that girl, Brooke!" A kid from Hephaestus whispered.
"She's a bad omen!"
"Is a new war starting?"
"If there is, I bet she's on the evil side!"
"You know I can hear you!" I yelled.
Everyone stared at me as if I had just announced that the world actually was going to end in 2012.
"All cabin leaders go to the Big House for a meeting, NOW." I turned on my heels and walked inside of the white house.
As soon as we were all situated, Chiron stood up, "I know," he said as he twiddled his thumbs, "that the last war between Kronos was very horrible. But what may happen now will be even worse. A war is going to begin. Humanity versus itself. And gods versus gods. Even more dark forces than Kronos that have never been explored or told about. Only I know about this, so I cannot tell you much. The gods can't hear us in here. They do not even know this information. So do not tell anyone else until the signal comes."
"What signal?" I asked, exasperated.
Suddenly a light came above my head and everyone covered their eyes as they were blinded by the light coming from it.
"That signal." Chiron stated as he pointed to the symbol above me.
I looked up...
