Yep if you didn't read "The Dream" go read it right now! Also if you need the next chapter here read this now. Continuing Necklace of Delphi!

I went back to my cabin; sat on the bed and thought long and hard. Who am I going to bring? I don't know a lot people here yet. Maybe…I don't know, who Owen? I could ask Owen who I should bring. That sounds a lot better than me picking.

The Very Next Day

I walked into the Big House. It seemed like everyone's eyes were on me. I walked up to Owen and his gang of friends. "Hey, Owen can I talk to you?"

"Oohh is little Owen in trouble," joked Mike.

"Shut up, man. Uh yeah sure," He smiled.

"Give us a shout if Poseidon kid gives you a hard time," Sky laughed hitting hands with Mike.

"Gee, guys thanks but go dunk your heads both of you," Owen told them walking out of the Big House with me behind him. "Hey Em, sorry about them they are pretty mental aren't they?"

"It's fine," I lied to him, "Look Owen I have to go on a quest I need six more people to join me."

"I'll come," Owen mentioned without giving a second thought.

"Great, now just need you to pick five more people."

"Oh okay, I'll get them situated and meet you at the Big House tonight."

"Don't I get to know? This is my quest, Owen."

"No," he said running off, "See yeah soon."

This Evening

I sat inside my cabin. I thought about really hard I didn't have a lot of things because my journey didn't give me much time to pick. The worst part is if I was able to survive is that I didn't have a weapon just my powers. How could I be so stupid of thinking to do this? I thought. Click Click I heard outside my cabin. I slowly walk to the door ready for anything to come out.

"Hey," Owen smiled with another guy next to him.

"Geez! You could have given me a heart attacked. What do you want?" I wonder who the guy is. His eyes were lovely. He had short dirty-blonde hair. In this dim light I could only see that he was well fit and tall maybe even better looking than Owen. I had to push those thoughts away. I can't believe I was thinking about guys at this time.

"Sorry can we come in?" Owen asked but didn't really because he just walked in.

"Sure walk right in before I answer," I told him.

"Fine, Cedric leave right now she doesn't want you in here." Owen commented to Cedric.

I just rolled my eyes, "What do you guys want at this late of an hour? It's almost dinner."

"My pal Cedric, here is going to help you find a weapon and train with it before we leave," Owen stated, "So Ced here is going to come on the journey with us."

Cedric voice was a little deep but surprising not too deep, "I told you not to call me that every again." This time when he said that his eyes turned black. I don't mean in the evening color black I mean black when everything on Earth is about to die. That black all you could see was very small red dots as his pupils.

"Look man, I am sorry but I can't help it. It's a really bad habit," Owen said in his defense. On that note the horn blew. Cedric's eyes turned back to normal. Owen was the first to leave. I was about to when Cedric hand touched my shoulder.

Cedric watched Owen walk out of the room and far away distance before talking, "Look, Em I didn't mean to scare you. I j-just hate that name. It reminds me of my childhood. I love it here. I'm excited to go on this journey with you guys. I haven't been out of these gates since I was nine years old. Plus being child of Ares doesn't help my temper sometimes. My temper is nothing to worry about; most thing is that we are friends during this journey." Before I could say anything he walked out the door as fast as he could.

Wow this has been happening to me way too much. I feel like I get six feet forwards and eight feet backwards with all this information. It makes my head spin. Second horn blew; what the heck am I waiting for I am the only one at the table. I dragged my feet to the Big House. I was at the doors, still thinking if I should go in there or skip dinner in all. My hands touched the door lightly I peered in the Big House; I saw all the kids laughing and eating without me. They are having fun without me. I shouldn't ruin it. I thought. Instead of listening to them I pushed the door; I could feel all eyes were on me again like the night before.

I got my food. I barely touched it. I picked way the greasy food way. When I was done I went to the fire and threw my food into the fire. I was praying to my dad to help me out on this journey. Hopefully, I am making the right choice going on this quest. I was about to go to my cabin, but something inside me told me to stay for something exciting. Because the pipe bomb accident, we didn't get to have sword tag.

"Okay Em, I figured it out," Owen told me out of breathe.

"Can you please call me Emma?" I wondered if he'll call me that.

"Sure, Emma come here I have to show you something." Owen insisted.

"Fine, but I seriously I have to pack for the journey," I complained.

"But It's an early birthday gift," He smiled. Not the smile you get when someone wants to give you an innocent birthday gift.

"We are leaving tonight at mid-night. Plus, my birthday isn't until October. It's May. I really don't want it."

"Yeah you do. If you even want to live to tell your tale during this quest."

"Oh that's reassuring. It's I want to live on this quest."

"Emma, please shut up," Owen said.

Owen stopped in the clearing. He whispered something. I couldn't really understand because it sounded like ancient Greek. He turned around slowly checking if someone was following us. Owen opened the door. He slammed the door behind us.

"Are you sure this is safe?" I wondered.

"Shhhhhhh," Owen whispered, "C'mon down here. Watch your step."

"Really, Owen I should be getting back," I walked to the door.

"Nope, you won't want to miss this seriously. I keep my word." Owen said pulling my arm towards the stair case.

Reluctantly, I agreed to go downstairs. Surprising, it wasn't like going in a cellar with a skivvy guy. There with random weapons everywhere. My eyes glanced, at all of them. Five more people came out of the shadows of the cellar.

Owen stood behind me, "Don't be scared."

"Hey, guys you know the quest that I told you about right? Well, this actually Emma's quest. Not mine." Owen told the group of people.

"Owen, we already knew. The gods wouldn't give that good of the quest," said the dark chocolate colored hair girl with blue eyes.

"Shut up, Jay. It's not like the gods ever sent you on a quest!" Owen told Jay sourly.

"Wow just wow, Owen," a girl said with a bow and arrow in her hands. She was a tan with big brown eyes. She had short curly hair.

"You know what I made a mistake about asking you guys."

"Yeah, Jay we did make the mistake of agreeing." the tan girl crossed her arms.

"Nah, I am gonna stay here with Owen, Sarah. So he doesn't screw up this quest for a newbie."

After the long debate, everyone was going to stay. I knew everyone one this trip. Sarah's godly parent is Apollo. Jay's godly parent is Demeter. Cedric's godly parent is Ares. Owen's godly parent is Hermes. Anna's godly parent is Athena. Daniel's godly parent is Zeus. Which is weird a lot of people told me there's really never been a Zeus's child in our mix. But then again I was also in the mixed also. I thought this all in my head as we were leaving the doors of the cabin.

Daniel stopped at the door of his cabin. Everyone else was inside their own cabin. It was only Daniel and I.

"Hey," he came closer to me slowly.

"Hi," I met him half way.

"Look, uh- will I don't know how to say this,"

I just looked at him. We sat on this old wooden bench; it was close to both of our cabins.

"I don't like it here. I don't want to be Zeus's kid anymore. I don't even think I Am. I think he made a mistake. I look nothing like him. I look like one of those Hephaestus kids. I am big, strong, tall, and muscular."

I had to agree with him one this. I just nodded.

"Look Emma, this journey isn't all for you. The Hatcher came to me too. It asked me to help you."

"Who's The Hatcher?" I asked curiously.

"The guy that told me about this quest," Daniel told me calmly.

"Oh okay?"

"So, yeah we leaving soon and I got to go pack."

"Yeah I do too. If Owen didn't come and disturbed me I would've been done."

Walking out of the Camp Mix Blood

All of us were bright eyed bushy tailed. I mean sort of. No all of us were really awake. We dragged our feet to the barrier. We were so quiet the sounds of a school bell rang. Funny thing was that there wasn't a school bell close by. The nearest one is about two hundred miles from here. Camp Mix Blood there the sign stood. The saddest part is no one was here to say good bye, not even Carter.

"So you guys ready?" Daniel asked us.

Yeah, that's where I am going to end it. First reason is that it took me about two moths writing plus homework and other issues. Second tomorrow is my birthday and I am going to a soccer pizza party. So hopped you liked it. Keep waiting for the next chapter soon.
