Chapter 3: I get attacked again...
A/N: Sorry for the delay! I had schoolwork and didn't get to write this for a while. I hope you enjoy chapter 3!
ALL OC'S! (MARY AND BERNARD) BELONG TO ME! IF YOU WISH TO USE THEM ASK FIRST!
THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE AND LOTS OF SWEARING! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
After that huge explosion everyone looked around. Since they knew no monsters could enter the camp they did noting and continued with what they were doing. Suddenly, a giant hellhound jumped at me. I didn't even have enough time to duck! I was hit by it and went flying across the room and into the wall.
Chiron yelled something in Greek, which I understood to be "Quick! My bow!"
I had no idea what was going on. My vision was blurred and blood was running down my head, but I managed to stand up.
Then, I noticed I had no weapon. Well, this was just great. A giant hellhound that shouldn't even be able to get into camp attacks me and I have no weapon. I felt the back of my head trying to see how bad the damage was. I moved my fingertips up my head, until they brushed something metal. I grabbed my headband remembering what it did when I was attacked before.
Thank the Gods that the other campers who were attacking it distracted the beast. Well...Except the Hermes campers who were to busy tying to save their food...Losers....
I threw out my headband praying to the Gods that the shield would appear. The beast shot a blast of hot fire at me and I ducked hoping that the shield would be there.
It wasn't. The fire hit me and I started burning. Everything around me was spinning. I could see the underworld now and I knew I was close to death. Before I passed out I cursed the Gods. I had the shield before and now they decide to take it back? What had I ever done to them?
I woke up in the infirmary again, with Clarisse, Nico DiAngelo, Percy, Annabeth, and Chiron around my bed.
Clarisse was the first to speak. "I thought you would have been a good daughter of Ares. But all you have done is disgraced our father. You are no longer my sister." She said, looking disappointed at me, shaking her head.
Then came Nico, the son of Hades. "I have no idea why my father sent the hellhound. I wasn't able to control it and they usually obey every word I say. You nearly died, I could see your death in my eyes." He said looking ashamed of what his father had done.
Percy then tried to make the situation a little better, "Well... It looks like I'm not the only unfortunate one around here!" He said smiling a little and trying to brighten up the room and failing miserably.
Then came that bitch, child of Athena, who thought she knew everything. "Its because you're here that the whole camp is endangered and threatened by things that shouldn't even be able to cross the camp boundaries." She yelled looking very pissy at me.
Then came the pony-man. (My nickname for Chiron.) "Mary, we have no idea how the hellhound got in, who sent it, why it was here, and basically everything about it. Plus, even the best healer of Apollo could not treat your wounds. We can't figure that out either. I'm sorry, Mary." He said looking down as well.
I yelled, "SO I'M STUCK LOOKING LIKE A FUCKING BURN VICTIM FOREVER! I'M BEING BLAMED FOR THIS CRAP THAT I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT UNTIL TODAY! WHY DON' THE GODS JUST KILL ME AND SERVE ME UP ON A FUCKING SILVER PLATTER!"
I glared at them daring any of them to contradict me.
"Um...Mary? You shouldn't say things like that. If the Gods really do hate you or don't like you, they may listen and then you wouldn't be here anymore," said goat-boy. (My nickname for Grover.)
"WELL WHAT THE FUCKING HADES DID I EVER DO TO THE GODS!? IF THEY DIDN'T WANT ME, WHY DIDN'T MY FUCKING MOTHER JUST STAY A FUCKING VIRGIN AND NOT GET IT ON WITH FUCKING ARES?!" I screamed even louder!
Chiron then spoke again, "I think you need to visit the Oracle, Mary."
"WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT?!" I yelled still pretty mad.
"The Oracle is the giver of prophesies for the quests. If we send you on one you may find the answer to who wants you dead." Chiron said.
"Well, I'll try but I can't say it'll work. Remember that Apollo hates me?" I said.
Percy then came back with a redheaded girl. Weird.... I didn't even notice he left.
"This is Rachel Elizabeth Dare. She's our camp Oracle." He said, introducing me.
"And Rachel, this is Mary, Daughter of Ares." He said pointing me out to Rachel.
"Hello, pleased to EWWW?! WHATS WRONG WITH HER?!!" Rachel screamed pointing at me.
"WELL GUESS WHAT? LOOKS LIKE I'M NOT GETTING THAT FUCKING PROPHECY AFTER ALL! YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS TO IF THE FUCKING GODS DECIDED TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SHIELD AS SOON AS YOU WERE ATTACKED BY A FUCKING HELLHOUND! ITS PRICKS LIKE YOU THAT MAKE ME WANT TO KILL SOMETHING!" I screamed at her.
"Rachel, just give her the prophecy before she really kills something," Grover said looking around nervously.
"SHUT UP GOAT-BOY!
"Fine. Who wants to kill me?" I asked look at the redhead bitch.
A green mist snaked out of her mouth and formed itself into the Gods.
You shall travel west
With a child of each
The Sea
Wisdom
And the Son of Hermes
You shall find the truth
And realize
Olympus to save
or
Olympus to change.
Which shall it be
Child of Ares
The green mist snaked back into her mouth, and the Gods disappeared.
"Well that doesn't sound very pretty. " Annabeth said.
"Obviously. Looks like I get to take Percy with me." I said.
"How do you know that?" Annabeth said looking mad.
"Well it says, Child of the Sea. There's only one, Percy." I said in an I'm-Smarter-Than-A-Child-Of-Athena tone.
"We'll figure out the rest tomorrow. You all need to get some rest. Mary, you will stay here because of your injuries. You begin your journey tomorrow, secretly though so that you are not attacked on the way there. " Chiron said.
A/N: I bet you all thought that was Ares! Apollo hates her because he is the God of medicine and his beast healer couldn't heal her, so he doesn't want her to be healed. Well things are getting interesting now. I need to leave the quest for the next chapter though because it's a new scene change. I tried my best with the prophecy and I think it turned out ok. I hope to update again soon, but may not because of school and other things. I hope you liked it! :D
