CHAPTER 4
When I got back, I saw everyone looking at me with faces like "Oh pick me Beckendorf!" and stuff like that. I was thinking about Percy and Michael, but then I remembered the prophecy saying I should bring a Child of Athena and a Child of Aphrodite. Which means I should bring Annabeth and Silena. Annabeth's ok, but Silena? Oh Gods!
"So Beckendorf, who do you choose?" Chiron asked
I felt all of the eyes staring at me.
"Actually, the prophecy says I should bring Annabeth and Silena"
"Really?" Silena's face brightened up.
"What is the prophecy, Beckendorf" Chiron asked with a bit of curiosity on his face.
"It goes like this"
I closed my eyes and tried to remember what the Oracle said.
"You will go to New York to win the prize,
You shall need the help of a child of the wise,
A child of Love will change it all,
And it may cause your heart to fall,
A parent will be surprised,
And in the end has to compromise."
"I guess we are settled then" Chiron said "You will leave at 5 o'clock in the morning" he paused "Have a good night sleep, Beckendorf, Annabeth and Silena, I'll see you in the morning. Meeting adjourned campers"
I was about to leave when Chiron called me.
"Beckendorf, he looked out to see if there was any spying camper. "About
The line with the it may cause your heart to fall, I guess you understand what it means"
I'll fall in love with Silena? No way!
"Maybe not, Chiron. I don't know. The prophecy may have different meanings, I mean, no one knows. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow Chiron."
"I'll have you sent to New York first thing in the morning. Goodbye, Charles Beckendorf.
I turned and left the room. I really don't know about the prophecy, but I am sure it doesn't involve any falling in love here. It just doesn't.
