(AN) Hey, might not update in a while after this chapter but I'll try to squeeze another chapter in. Thanks for all the reviews, better then my one review in my other story.
The campers seemed to be enjoying the victory at dinner that night, even the Ares table was joking around in a non-violent sort of way. But as I looked around I noticed some people were scared, the fight seemed easier than it should have been. No one died or even got hurt, it was like the monsters tried to let us live, as if there was an ulterior motive to the attack.
Brett was one of the campers that was worried, his eyes scanned around the camp non-stop throughout the meal. But if no one looked at him closely you would never notice his dilemma. He offered his food like he always did, waiting to be claimed, but never was. He ate and laughed with the Stolls like he always did but it was half heartedly today.
That night when everyone was in bed, and I was talking to my mom, I heard someone trip and yell loudly at the end of the cabins. I carefully turned around and looked out of one of the windows. I saw some sort of shadow running off towards the Big House. I carefully opened the door and chased after him keeping along the water's edge. I saw the lights on his face when he was on the porch. It was Brett.
I jumped out of the water as Chiron opened the door as if he was expecting him. Brett walked into the Big House and I saw him go up stairs. "He can't go on a quest, he isn't even claimed yet." I mumbled as I tried to sneak into the Big House but Chiron closed the door before I even got hit by the light. Disappointed I started walking back to my cabin trying not to wake anybody.
I went inside and sat on my bed thinking about Brett, he was quit, not that social, yet, he was out there talking to people but never in their company. He was lucky though, never by himself, earning trust faster than a lot of the new campers that came without any trouble." He... He... well he wasn't earning my trust so easily." I mumbled as I drifted asleep.
The next morning I wasn't woken up by a battle or swords, but by yelling and screaming in the middle of the cabin area. I sat up in my bed deciding whether it was worth the trouble to get up and see what was going on. Instinctively I got out of bed and threw on my Camp T-shirt.
"Clarisse, quit acting like such an idiot, okay, just because your father can fight doesn't mean you can, you're not a god, and you have to follow the rules like everybody else." said a girl that sounded like Annebeth.
"And just because your mother is Athena doesn't mean you better than me or my superior, you... you... Luke doesn't love you!" Clarisse yelled watching Annebeth run away looking like she's crying.
I chased after her but I stopped as I saw the door to the Big House open. Brett walked out and saw Annebeth walk by. "Annebeth wait up!" He yelled as he chased after her.
"No way kid, I'm going to talk to her first." I said quietly as I raced towards Annebeth. But by the time I caught up to her Brett was already there.
"Oh, hi Percy" Annebeth said smiling as she looked at me.
"I heard everything Annebeth, Luke doesn't care about any of us, don't take it personally, he isn't who he was before. He's Kronus now, Luke isn't even around now." I said trying to comfort her but apparently it didn't work to well.
"Percy, leave now" she ordered standing up, I opened my mouth to say something when I felt her hand come across my face, HARD.
I thought it would be best to leave especially after the slap. Hopefully I would get a quest soon, and be able to go with her. I went back into my cabin to clean up. A few minutes after I heard that all cabin leaders must go to the Big House.
At the Big House there was Chiron, all the cabin leaders, and Brett.
"Okay campers last night Brett, came since he was claimed but was unseen, apparently his parent wanted him on a quest with Percy, Annebeth, Beckondorf, Tyson, Grover, and both Stoll Brothers." Chiron announced to everyone there.
"The prophecy said:
Eight shall fight the Titan Lord
at the parent's request and three in the ward
Half must die, as they take the bait
Two will decide everyone's fate.
When all is said and done three must sore.
The four that are still alive
must choose you shall die." Brett said
"Well, time for you to go, Argus is waiting for you guys with a van." Chiron said as he walked away.
(AN) hope you enjoyed it, review please.
