Yay an update before a month! I'm doing pretty good if I do say so myself. Anyway... Ignoring my awkward talk to myself Onwards with the story!
"Chiron! We need help!" Annabeth called as we entered the big house.
"Chiron isn't here Annalise. And do stop shouting you're giving me a headache." Mr. D answered entering the room with a glass of what looked like wine but was diet coke.
"Annabeth. Do you know when he'll be back?" She asked persistent though we all knew Dionysus didn't care that campers could be dying.
He sighed obviously annoyed that we were still in his presence." Where is my daughter?" He asked looking at us properly for the first time since we entered the room. "I believe you three were put in charge of guarding her with your lives." He stated looking pretty pissed off.
"I don't need protecting daddy." The princess herself said. "Dad, the oracle must be consulted." She said sitting on the pool table her heels clicking together.
"Th oracle has been consulted and the decision is final!" Mr. D said looking pretty angry - like I'm going to kill the next person to speak angry.
"The oracle has been consulted by Percy. Give another camper a chance, you never know they might even be a..."
"Hero?" Mr. D asked sceptically. "Heroes are no good and only let innocent people down in the end." He looked angered and slightly ... sad?
"Dad please. At least let the oracle come to the campfire. If a prophecy happens we continue from there. If not you spend quality time with myself and Pollux tomorrow in the strawberry fields." Her voice held irresistible innocence and pleading. She stood beside him brushing back his black hair and giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." Mr. D says and storms off not really upset but maybe irritated.
Dakota turned to us looking over the bruises we had from the different monsters. For some reason though I wasn't looking into her eyes nor was she looking at me the intensity of her gaze made me feel like I was burning. Without a word she left the big house heading back to Poseidon cabin.
"I'll see you guys later." I said trudging back to my cabin to wait out the hours until campfire.
"Hey death breath!" Ariel called out entering my room disturbing my concentration of turning dirt to diamonds. She jumped up on to the top bunk on my bed which was for all but extensive purposes her bed.
"What the Hades? Don't you knock!" I asked picking up the semi translucent lump.
"Nope!" She answered happily picking up her favourite acoustic guitar that she left with me because either a Hermes child would steal it or her brothers and sisters would break it.
"Yeah well take it and piss off I'm doing stuff." I mumbled lying down glaring at the bunk above me as of I could burn a whole through it to her.
Wasn't quite rational and possibly even a little childish but I knew Ariel wasn't here to play guitar. Once she has an instrument around her she started before being told and had to be dragged away to stop. No she was here for another reason and I was pretty positive i would either want to die of embarrassment or kill her in rage.
"The camp is so excited, Dakota said there was going to be a prophecy tonight but not to Percy, for any camper." She giggled hoping it would be her. I stayed silent.
"Also Jason Grace is back... he and Dakota seem to get along well." I rolled my eyes of course it would be the son of Zeus who she would like. He wouldn't stink of death and actually is a hero. I gave her a sigh in answer and she looked down on me pretty irritated.
"Oh and uh Clarisse is planning an a attack on Dakota at the campfire." She said walking out the door. That got my attention.
I jumped off my bed and ran to the volley ball court where she was talking to her older brother. I grabbed her hand and started to drag her back to my cabin.
"What the Hades! Do you realise Olympus is watching to make sure I don't mess up!? That I could be killed if one hair on her head got cut off because of Clarisse! What else do you know?" I yelled at her happy for the soundproof walls.
"That's all I know Nico! I passed her in the bathrooms she said that she was gonna get the princess back for what she did and then go on the quest with Chris." She huffed apparently still mad about me dragging her here.
"Fine. I'll deal with her when its time." I said heading into strategy planning. She rolled her eyes and pushed me out the cabin. I just realised it was time for dinner.
Dinner was pretty loud as everyone was excited hoping to go on a quest and be the ones the gods would smile upon. Dakota on the other hand didn't look so pleased even though it was her plan. I kept my eye on Clarisse who looked pretty damn pleased with herself, which is never a good sign.
Finally it was campfire time. We sang and since everyone was so excited the fire rose to possibly 50ft. It was almost time for lights out and Rachel was still behaving like a normal human. A lot of campers were starting to get disheartened and Clarisse looked very suspicious.
We were heading back to the cabins when something was falling from the sky. That's weird the Golden Fleece prevented things from coming into the camps perimeters. Whatever it was crash landed on the volley ball court.
"It's a harpy!" Screamed a ten year old from Hephaestus cabin. Everyone backed away from the creature as it stood up. She was extremely pretty not as gorgeous as Dakota but pretty non the less. She has red hair and looks very petite. She also has...wings?
"Ella?" Percy asks breaking through the crowd with Dakota, Jason and Annabeth behind him. "What are you doing here?"
"Ella came looking for the one called DiAngelo. Ella's friend Chiron sent her." Me? What did Chiron send a bird girl for me for?
Then a creepy haggard voice started speaking. The oracle of Delphi. It started talking to Dakota.
"Four shall travel towards the west, a princess and son of Death.
The traitor amongst you shall be put to the test
Rescue the one who is lost,
A life will be the fatal cost."
Everyone one turned towards me and seemed to back away more than usual. The silence was deafening. Great, a quest especially requesting me. Fantastic.
I hate being me.
Yay a prophecy! Sorry it sucked. Please review and
Pooh bear loves you!
