Chapter 2
Rose's POV
I was startled. What had just happened. Then it hit me. I just got a prophesy for my first quest.
"ROSIE!" I heard someone yell. I looked and saw Emmaliese Barry and Tinamarie Flora running over to me and Ali. "OMG! It's great to see you guys." Said Tinamarie, or Tina, daughter of Demeter.
"I wish we could talk, but Chiron has called the War counsil. C'mon!" said Emmaliese, or Emma, daughter of Athena.
"Okay, I'm coming!" I said. We all ran to the Big House, into the War Counsil room.
Once every member was in the room, the meeting started.
"A quest has just been issued. We must figure out who is going on it and where they are going immediately." Said Chiron.
"Children of water, of beauty and brains,/Of death, of air, of arrow, of grains./Will join together and start the hunt/To find two secrets they need and want./Each shares their own to make the first/The second has heartbreak of the worst/Travel where it rains the most,/All the way from coast to coast./Rescued by whom you least expect./Two more join and earn respect./Take the secret to Italy/And meet a secret deity./The twins alone can pull through/And make an alliance between the two." Timothy, a son of Hermes, recited. "It says who is going and where."
"Water, beauty, brains, death, air, arrow, and grains." I said
"Water is Poseidon, Beauty is Aphrodite, Brains is Athena, Death is Hades, Air is Zeus, Arrow is Apollo, and Grains is Demeter." Chiron said
"It also mentions twins." Said Serenity, or Ella, Daughter of Apollo.
"The only twins that are the children of the 7 mentioned gods are the Hartland twins, Belle and Amor, children of Aphrodite." I said.
"You are definitely the one for Posideon." Tina said to me.
"And I think you are the one for Demeter." I said to Tina, "and Emma is the one for Athena."
"I'm the only child of Zeus here, and Ali is the only child of Hades. I think we have to go." Said Zeke, son of Zeus.
"I'll go for Apollo." Said Ella.
"Now, we only have to figure out where to go. 'Travel where it rains the most,/All the way from coast to coast'" Tina said
Ali and I both looked at each other. I could tell she was thinking the same thing I was thinking.
"Do you guys have any idea what that means?" Chiron asked. I suddenly realized that everyone was staring at the two of us.
"Yes, actually. For the past 2 years, I have been in Forks, Washington, where it rains 300 days a year." I said
"It's on the west coast, where we are on the east coast. Plus, It has the highest average rainfall per year on the continent." Said Ali
I didn't say the last thing, though. It would just make me break down in tears. I could only think of one secret in Forks that had anything to do with a deity in Italy. Vampires.
Emma narrowed her eyes at me, as if she knew that I was hiding something.
"Ok, so Belle, Amor, Rose, Tina, Emma, Zeke, Ali, and Ella; go pack and prepare for the journey." Said Chiron.
With that, the council dispersed and the 8 of us went to get ready for our journey.
Serena's POV
I was spying on the war council. It sounds serious. I am glad that I'm not going, but then why do I feel that I'm supposed to go? I am just so confused. But, who knows, maybe I am supposed to go.
"You have a reason to be confused." Said someone. I jumped at the voice. It was Rachel, the oracle.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"They have it wrong. "
"What?"
"Not actual twins, but children of the Olympian twins."
Olympian twins? That's Apollo and Artemis. But Artemis doesn't have any kids; she's a virgin.
"You were claimed by Apollo, yet your necklace is a moon, and you have the sun, and you look nothing like the others in your cabin."
"Are you saying…" I couldn't say it. She was right, of course. But was she really implying that my mom is Artemis.
"Yes, and I believe she has just claimed you." I looked at her, but she was looking at something above me. There was a moon.
"Wow. I - I - just wow. This explains a lot."
"You better get packed, they are leaving at noon."
I looked at my watch. It's 11:30. I ran of to get ready.
Rose's POV
I am so stressed right now. My first quest! Maybe I should of told them about Him. No, there is no reason. But a line of the prophesy kept echoing in my mind.
The second has heartbreak of the worst
So, I am going to tell them anyway. Just not now.
We all piled into the Camp van.
In the Camp van
I am so annoyed right now. Tina, Emma, and Ella have been singing the annoying song for ages. I lost count at seventy-nine.
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves
everybody's nerves
everybody's nerves
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves
And this is how it goes
Bum, bum, bum
It was really getting on my nerves. But, isn't that the whole point of it?
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves

Bum, bum, bum
I looked outside. Around fifteen verses ago, a lightning storm started, which meant that Zeke was annoyed. Then, around seven verses ago, the shadows seemed to grow, which meant that Ali was annoyed, too. Now, the river we are passing has twenty foot waves, which now meant that I was annoyed.

"Guys!" I screamed, cutting off the end of the never-ending song. They stopped and looked at me. "I know that the point of the song is to annoy everyone, but do you really want to annoy the kids of the big three? I didn't think so."
"Then what DO you want to sing?" asked Ella.
Suddenly, Ali began to sing a song.
"Heart thumps and you jump
Comin' down with goosebumps!
You dared to go there
I'ma I'ma get you so scared!"
We're wantin' to
We're hauntin' you
We're wantin' to
Eh eh"
Before she could continue, Tina stopped her. "I don't want to criticize your song choice, but do you really want to sing a song called 'Calling all the Monsters'? You don't want to press our luck."
Then she began to sing.
"You can watch your garden grow
And skim along the surface and take it slow
Just let nature have its way
Let your little flowers bloom where they may
If you dig down deeper (Dig down deeper)
Under the ground (Ooh yeah)
You gotta dig down deeper, girl you can
If you're wanting to win
Then you better begin
To get a little bit dirty and dig deep down
Ooh yeah"
She did her best to bow in the van as we clapped for her. "Oh, I got an idea! Quest Karaoke! After, we can write down our top 3 best singers. 3 points for #1, 2 point for #2, and 1 for #3."
"Can I go again?" Ali asked.
We went in alphabetical order. Ali was first.
"Sometimes
You want to run away
Ain't got the patience
For the pain
And if you
Don't believe it
Look into
Your heart
The beat goes on
I'm tellin' you
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall
Dust it off
Don't let up
Don't you know
You can go
Be your own miracle
You need to know..."
Then it was Amor.
"My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo
Gym Class Heroes baby!
If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
Like yea fucked up, check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to, now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts"
Belle was up next.
"It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby"
Then Ella was up.
"Since I landed here, I gon' phone up a Obama
Shook the world up, now I caused a little drama
Leader of the new school, and yes I'm gonna light up the block to the stage when I wanna
Brighter than the stars, throw my head up the curve
Don't get, walk it off, check it I walk with a slur
Levitating in my mom's all weather fur
Imma rock the world, til they follow Willow
I'm the fireball, I'm the fireball, I'm the fire
I'm the fireball, I'm the fireball, I'm the fire
I'm the fireball, I'm the fireball, I'm the fire
Fire, fire, fire"
Next was Emma.
"Liar, liar, pants on fire
And the pills go down and get you higher
Baby bottle's burning, motherfucker
And the mother hates him like the daughter
Only god and maker gripping tighter
Saying you will burn in hell, they say
You will burn in hell
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Liar, liar, stop your soul from catching
Fire, fire, god and maker
Liar, liar, pants on fire"
Finnally, It was my turn.
"You...treat this like a game, but it's my heart and it's breaking all because of you~...
The hourglass is running out, and you're still trying to fill it up but I've lost hope, you should too.
'Cause this situation we're repeating, over-rated is what you've made it. I'm all done, and now I'm all out of time~...
What Can I Say?
What can I sa~y~?
When all you do is...push me away! What will I say, to you? When it all comes down too...
It seems like every word we say, we're slowly...fading away...~!
You...acted like you cared, but you don't stop pretending, 'cause you're hurting me...
My first impressions disappear, you're tongue-tied words so insencere. You always do...as you please~
And this situation we're repeating, over-rated is what you made it. I'm all done, and now I'm all out of time~...
What can I say?
What can I sa~y~?"
Now, it was Tina's turn.
"You can watch your garden grow
And skim along the surface and take it slow
Just let nature have its way
Let your little flowers bloom where they may
If you dig down deeper (Dig down deeper)
Under the ground (Ooh yeah)
You gotta dig down deeper, girl you can
If you're wanting to win
Then you better begin
To get a little bit dirty and dig deep down
Ooh yeah"
Finnaly, Zeke was up.
"Humidity is rising - Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, the street's the place to go
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean"
By the end of the song, we all were practically rolling around on the floor, laughing our heads off.
We tallied up the votes and Ali volunteered to announce them. She took out her brush and held it up like a mic and announced the results, well, like an announcer.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Heroes of the ages 11 to 15. Thank you for watching the Quest Karaoke! You have voted, and we have tallied up the votes. The results are in. Can I get a drum roll please?" We all started hitting the wall, ceiling, armrests, and anywhere else to make a drum roll. "In third place is BELLE! Daughter of APHRODITE! And now, for the first time in QK history, we have a tie for first place. ZEKE! Son of ZEUS! AAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDD, pause for dramatic effect, ROSE! Daughter of POSIEDON!"
"OMG! OMG! Am I really that good cause I though I did really bad." I said
"DUDE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! YOU DID AMAZING!" Ali screamed, very loudly, by the way, right into my ear.
"Oww." I said, rubbing my ear.
Suddenly, the van stopped. Which was weird, since Argus was going to take us all the way to Indiana. We were in Pennsylvania.
"What's wrong?" I asked Argus. He pointed out the window.
My eyes widened. All I could think was one word.
SHIT!
