Guess who's back? Yup. Me... Again. So I had an inspirational spur which basically means I was on Netflix and thought about what could happen next and also a bit of help ,actually a lot, from my Gamma. Very creative I know. So... Lets get on with this!
Chapter 4
Kristin's P.O.V
The tale of waves has its' secrets,
Though a secret you shall seek.
A new land to discover,
With more lies to uncover.
An owl and trident shall take different paths,
But under trouble and toil, cross at long last.
Love and loss,
May you feel its' wrath
Peace may be restored,
Just long the river shore.
Rachel then proceeded to collapse right in front of me. Panic struck my entire body, was she meant to collapse? Is she dead?
"She's fine, it's normal. Rachel will probably be sleeping for the next few hours or so." Percy said, walking up behind me, "Don't look so panicked!"
"How am I not supposed to panic!" I fumed, "She just collapsed right in front of me and I thought she was dead. I thought I had just seen another person die!" I realised all too soon I had let another secret spill out of my mouth. Crap.
"Hey Kristin what did you just say?" Percy looked at me worriedly, two sea-green orbs making me feel young again.
"No!" I screamed, "You can't" I sobbed, "He had a life! A family! You can't!"
*Flashback*
"Relax, K, it's fine. I'm fine. It'll all be over soon," he wheezed.
I hugged him the best I could on the floor and cried into his greying hair. "You shouldn't have taken that bullet for me Alfie. That should've been me!" I cried, "I should've been the one to die, not you! Why would you throw away your life for my worthless one?"
Alfie smiled at me, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "All will be known soon K, you'll get your happy ending, don't you worry about that."
"What do you mean? I can't, won't, get a happy ending."
But by them Alfie had gone still, no movement. I checked his pulse only to find a stone cold neck. "No" I sobbed. "No, you can't take away the only man that has been with me all these years, you can't take away a daughters father. No, please don't do this. I have no one left. No one to help me out."
I curled into a ball next to Alfie and cried the night away, wishing it had been me to take the bullet.
*End Flashback*
"Kristin?" Percy clicked his fingers in front of my face, and I was flung back to reality.
"Oh, what? Yeah, I'm fine, I didn't say anything, why?" I snapped.
He eyed me suspiciously and replied "No, reason, you just... zoned off."
"Children, you need to come to the big house, I think you both may be in this prophecy." Chiron said, trotting over to us, "Bring Annabeth too."

"Anyone want some cheese on their cracker?" Percy asked, stuffing a cracker topped of with cheese into his mouth.
Annabeth rolled her eyes and slapped Percy playfully on his arm.
"Gods seaweed brain we can here to discuss the prophecy, not stuff our faces with cheese and crackers!"
Percy gave a sheepish grin and finished the rest of his snack. "So, Wise Girl, what have you got?"
Annabeth looked vaguely annoyed before sighing, "Well an owl and trident would obviously mean a child of Athena and Poseidon and their paths would be crossed at at river somewhere?" Anabeth frowned, "But I don't know what else, except that their will be a romance and also death along the way. What do you think Kristin?"
Annabeth and Percy were staring at me intently, awaiting an answer.
"Well we will be going to somewhere new right? And there is also going to be lots of secrets going to be revealed. But the part about the lies could mean a betrayal or just a lie in general." Annabeth nodded but Percy just looked confused.
"Wait, it says a tale of waves as in two. And there are only two children of Poseidon which is me and you. So that means that me and Kristin are heading on the quest already."
"Kristin and I," Annabeth corrected.
Percy glared at her, but Annabeth sent one back, making him gulp.
"Well I'm going to go and... take a walk on the beach, you guys want to come?"
"Sure," Percy and Annabeth replied at the same time, making them blush bright red.
"Just give me a minute, I need to ask Chiron something," Percy said.
"Hey Kristin? Can I tell you something?"
"Sure," I replied, "So long as it's not that you're going to kill me. I don't need that."
Annabeth laughed, "No I'm not going to kill you it's just that.. I had this dream, it was really weird actually. Someone was in danger because of this other person and I think-"
"Kristin? Can I ask why you are the same age as me? I thought you were born YEARS before me?" Percy interrupted, which earned him a glare from Annabeth.
"Well Poseidon put me in the Lotus Casino while I was, what, 5? 6? To keep me out of harms way, while Zeus and Hades calmed down about me being born after the oath."
"Oh right, well, since we have managed to end up by the beach, I think I might go for a swim, what about you wise girl?"
"No, I'm fine- ARGH! Percy put me down!" She appeared on the back of Percy's shoulders, banging her fists on his back.
"Nope, I think it's time you cooled down a little," Percy jumped into the water with Annabeth still fighting to be free, effectively splashing me.
I laughed at the childish antics and eventually they resurfaced, Annabeth frowning.
"Well then you can get two towels and my book next to my bunk as your punishment. Shoo."
Percy pouted, but kissed Annabeth's cheek and ran off the do as he was told.
I felt someone sidle up to me and turned around to face the most annoying person in camp. Jake. I have only met him a few times but that was just seeing his face and I could tell he was annoying right away.
"Well would you look at that, it's little miss depression over here. Lighten up will ya? Life's too short."
"I am not depressed. It's called choosing to be glum for a reason. Deal with it," I spat venomously.
"Whoa chill out. I meant, it's one thing being left without a family but that doesn't mean you have to be depressed."
That was it. I snapped. Yelling, I punched Jake in the jaw and judo flipped him onto his back. I carried on slapping, hitting and punching him until Annabeth dragged me off him.
"Let me get him" I shouted, "Let me kill the bloody bitch!"
"Kristin," I struggled against her trying to get free, "Kristin! Stop. Look, do you see Percy anywhere?
"No, that's not the point, I want to kill him, I need to!"
"Kristin calm down. Jake, I suggest you search camp for Percy and get away before she beats you even more. And if I hear you speaking to her like that again I will personally kill you myself. Am I clear?"
"Yes ma'am," Jake saluted and ran off, telling campers to help find Percy.
Ten minutes of searching later and Percy was nowhere to be found. Annabeth turned to me and whispered, "I think Percy's gone."
And there we have it, chapter 4. Do you know what I've learnt from all of this? Having your chapter planned out is a lot more helpful than relying on your brain to make up ideas as you go along. So yeah. I hope to get chapter 5 posted soon and thanks for the reviews!
