Disclaimer: Go back and look at chapter 1
Chapter Three: Gwen I
After, the two girls left Lupa said," Why don't we introduce ourselves before we go to the Wolf House?"
"Ok, we'll go first; my name is Chiron, Trainer of the Greek Heroes."
Next to Chiron were two boys, they must have been twins because they looked very much alike, one of them said, "I'm Connor Stoll ," the second one said, "and I'm Travis Stoll Sons of Hermes/Mercury, and by the way Nico I think your missing this.", as Travis (I think) held up a black knife
"Stoll!" the guy next to him yelled; he was wearing all black with a skull ring and an aviator's jacket.
"I'm Nico DiAngelo, Son of Hades/Pluto," the boy said while snatching his knife back from one of the twins. Well that explained the all black theme. Next to Nico was a big and buff girl, she must be a daughter of Mars.
"I'm Clarisse LaRue, a Daughter of Ares/Mars", she said while staring with a murderous look in her eyes at Percy who was looking in the direction that the two girls went in.
Next to her was a Faun, he said, "I'm Grover, the Lord of the Wild.", he was looking at Percy too, then Percy turned around and looked at Grover like he had called his name and gave him a big grin which Grover returned.
Next was a guy with a bow and arrow on his back and a messenger bag slung around his shoulder, "I'm Will Solace, a Son of Apollo."
Next to will was a red-headed girl with green eyes, "I'm Rachel Elizabeth Dare, mortal, and I am the Oracle of Delphi.". I didn't even know that there were human oracles; we still have a mummy oracle.
Next to Rachel was big guy with a tattoo of a rainbow on his bicep said, "I'm Butch, a
Son of Iris/Arcus."
"I'm Katie Gardner, a Daughter of Demeter/Ceres.", a girl next to one of the Stolls announced.
Next to Katie was a girl with choppy brown hair and kaleidoscope eyes said, "I'm Piper McLean, a Daughter of Aphrodite/Venus.
The last person to go was a Hispanic boy with elf like ears, he said, "I'm Leo Valdez, a Son of Hephaestus/Vulcan."
"The two girls that left were, Annabeth Chase, a Daughter of Athena/Minerva and Thalia Grace, a Daughter of Zeus/Jupiter, a lieutenant of Artemis/Diana, and my older sister," announced a very familiar voice. Then, out from behind Chiron stepped Jason; Reyna, Bobby, Dakota, Hazel, and I tackled him in a bear hug. When I looked back I saw Percy hugging Rachel and Katie, then he gave Nico, the Stolls, Will, Butch, and Grover hugs, Chiron patted him on the back and said something in his ear, and when he got to Clarisse he shook her hand.
When all of us were done with our little reunion Lupa said, "Romans it's our turn, I am Lupa, Trainer of the Roman heroes." (A/N: I just made their last names up, so sorry if they sound stupid.)
"I'm Gwen Vadenci, Daughter of Vesta/Hestia," I said since I was next to Lupa. We skipped over Percy and continued on with Hazel saying," I'm Hazel LaVerda, a Daughter of Minerva/Athena."
Next person to go was Bobby, "I'm Bobby Triven, Son of Pluto/Hades". When he said "Pluto/Hades" Nico's eyes widen a bit, but showed no other indication that he cared.
"I'm Dakota Varnett, a Son of Vulcan/Hephaestus", Dakota said. Leo looked like he was excited to have another sibling.
Reyna was the last person to go, "I'm Reyna Sellan, a Daughter of Ceres/Demeter". Katie looked ecstatic to have another sibling.
In the distance, we heard metal clashing against metal and were about to go off into that direction when Chiron said, "Leave them, I'm pretty sure that Thalia and Annabeth are just sparring, if not then I'm pretty sure that they can handle it, they've handled much worse than a lone monster. But just in case Rachel, Clarisse, and Piper go check on them."
The trio nodded and walked off towards the beach.
"Gwen, I'm going to go talk to Grover, would you like to come with me?", Percy asked me.
"Yeah", I replied. He took my hand and led me over to where the faun was. When we approached Grover was talking to Jason.
"Hey guys, by the way Percy we didn't formerly meet each other, I'm Jason Grace, Son of Jupiter/Zeus, Thalia's my real sister." Jason said when he noticed us coming over.
"Ohhh, nice to meet you Jason, I never knew that Thalia had a younger brother. I'm Percy Jackson, Son of Poseidon/Neptune." Percy replied.
"So Perce, how have you been?" Grover asked.
"Good, except for having amnesia for a while, by the way this is Gwen, my girlfriend." Percy said. Grover's eyes slightly bulged when Percy said "girlfriend" and he said, "Excuse me I need to go talk to Nico about something."
"Ok, tell him when he gets a chance meet me in the arena, it's about time that he gets his butt whipped," Percy told Grover, who nodded his head while laughing half-heartedly.
"So, Jason how much of your memories have come back?" Percy asked.
But, before he could reply we all heard a blood-curling scream. Jason started to go towards that direction, but Chiron said, "Let's wait and see if someone comes back."
Only a few seconds had past when Rachel burst through the clearing, panting slightly and looking worried.
"Annabeth…dracaenae…attack" were the only words she said before turning around and running back the way she came. Apparently the others, including Percy, must have understood what she was trying to say because they took off behind her. We all thought for a moment before deciding to go after them, and when we got there, it wasn't a pretty sight, the blond girl, Annabeth I believe, was lying on the sand with a pool of blood around her arm, which had a knife in in, while the everyone except Chiron and Will, who were trying to tend to her wound, were standing behind them, watching. We walked around Chiron and Will to stand with the others; then Nico stepped forward and said, "Her life force is fading, I can feel it."
"I can to", Bobby added. With those words from the Sons of Pluto/Hades all of the Greeks faces except Nico's, whose face looked grief-stricken, went pale. After a few minutes of silence except for the words of Will and Chiron who were still trying to heal Annabeth, while we were watching intently for any signs of life within her body, Nico spoke up again with grief filling his voice, "She's gone."
A girl with spiky black hair sank, who l think was Thalia, to her knees and sobbed and from the looks of her it took a lot to make her cry. All of the Greeks had tears in their eyes, including Jason, who was comforting his sister, Percy and even Nico was crying a little. From behind us a bright light flashed, we all turned to see who it was and was met with the same grey eyes and blonde hair as Annabeth.
"Malcom what are you doing here?", Chiron asked.
"I was sitting on the porch at the Big House when all of a sudden Mr.D popped in and said, 'You are not needed here, you need to be with the others in San Francisco, I will watch the camp', and the next thing I know I'm standing here. Why are you guys crying?", the blonde, Malcom asked.
We made a little path to where he could see Annabeth's body. Malcom rushed over to kneel next to her body and turned to look at Chiron with a scared expression on his face and said, "Please tell me she's not dead."
When nobody said anything he looked back at Annabeth with tears in his eyes and asked, "How did it happen?"
Everybody looked at Thalia, since she was the only on with her at the time. Thalia looked up from Jason's shoulder with red puffy eyes and said, "After we got Benkendorf's shield from the Argo, she used it to scan the perimeter for any monsters and it picked up on a dracaenae about 10 feet away from us. Well, you know Annabeth, she always had a plan, and while I was fighting the dracaenae it said, 'Where is it?' before Annabeth killed it. While Annabeth was "telling me that the dracaenae was talking about Benkendorf's shield another dracaenae snuck up behind her and….."
"It was a repeat of what happened in the battle last year." A hoarse voice from behind us said, cutting Thalia off. When we turned around we were met with Annabeth looking up at us wide-eyed. (A/N: I could never kill Annabeth off, it wouldn't be the same without our beloved Wisegirl, now would it? Anyways back to the story!)
"Annabeth!", all of the Greeks shouted with joy in their voice.
"I guess it wasn't my time to join the others." She replied. I looked back at Reyna to see a confused and worried look on her face, Bobby was just watching the scene in front of us, Hazel looked relived that one of her sister's didn't die, Dakota had the same kind of look that Reyna had on, and I couldn't really see any emotion on Lupa's face.
"Not funny, Chase", Clarisse said.
"Oh My Gods, is it just me or is Clarisse LaRue, a Daughter of Ares and the almighty Thalia Grace, Daughter of Zeus, Lieutenant of Artemis crying!" Annabeth said while everyone else laughed,
"Shut it, Chase or I'll give you something to cry about." Clarisse said, she sounded mad, but you could tell that she wasn't because she was grinning.
"Malcom, what are you doing here?"
"Mr. D." was all he said.
"Guys are you done tending to my wound if so I would like to get up." Annabeth said.
"Hold on, let me put the final bandage on." Will said. With that done Annabeth stood up and looked around, when she noticed us she said, "I guess I missed the introduction, well anyways, I'm Annabeth Chase, a Daughter of Athena."
"I'm Malcom Henderson, a Son of Athena.", Malcom announced. I kind of figured that he was her brother since they look so much alike.
"I'm Thalia Grace, a Daughter of Zeus, the Lieutenant of Artemis Jason's older sister." The spiky haired girl said.
"I'm Hazel LaVerda, a Daughter of Minerva/Athena."
"Nice to meet you, sis," Annabeth and Malcom said giving Hazel a smile.
"I'm Gwen Vadenci, a Daughter of Vesta," I said.
""I'm Bobby Triven, Son of Pluto/Hades."
"Looks like we're going to have to Nico's to deal with," Thalia mumbled.
"Hey, I'm not that bad," Nico grumbled.
"Sure, you're not Death Boy."
"Whatever, Pinecone face, you're just jealous."
"Jealous! Yeah right what's there to be jealous of because it sure isn't you!"
"Hey, that hurt I have feelings too, you know!"
"No, you don't! By the way Nico I've been meaning to ask you, are you emo?"
"No! How many times do I have to tell people! I AM NOT EMO, NOR WILL I EVER WILL BE!"
"Geez, Nico come down! I was just asking!" Thalia said with her hands raised in front of her chest like she was surrendering. Before, Nico could reply Annabeth said, while rolling her eyes while the rest of us, even Lupa, were rolling on the floor laughing," Shut-up both of you! You guys sound like an old married couple."
"We sound like an old married couple! You should have seen you and….", Nico didn't get a chance to finish his sentence because Annabeth interrupted by saying, "If you don't want to go permanently live with your father, Nico I suggest you stop talking."
"I'm sorry about that little scene, please continue", Annabeth apologized.
"No problem, I'm Dakota Varnett, a Son of Vulcan/Hephaestus."
"I'm Reyna Sellan, a Daughter of Ceres/Demeter."
"Thalia where is the Benkendorf's shield?", Annabeth asked with panic in her voice.
"Right here," Thalia said lifting up a gleaming round bronze shield.
"Chiron, Lupa perhaps we should go ahead and have the meeting right here?" Annabeth asked while sitting crossed legged on the beach.
"It's fine with me my child, but are you sure that you feel up to it?" Chiron asked.
"Yes, it is fine with me.", Lupa said. With that said everyone sat down on the beach and looked at Annabeth.
"Ok, I guess we should start the conversation about why we are here." Annabeth started while nodding at Jason to continue.
"Hera switched Percy and I and she wiped our memories, because the Gaea and the Giants are rising and the only way to defeat them is for the Greek and Roman demigods to combine. And since the prophecy…" Jason continued and nodded for Rachel to continue.
"For those of you that don't know the Great Prophecy it is:
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call.
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath,
And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death.
The prophecy that I made last year is about the quest that is needed to defeat the Giant's, which needs seven demigods who are needed to complete this quest." Rachel said while she back at Annabeth to complete their explanation.
"I'm not feeling so good right now, Will can I have some ambrosia? Malcom, speak for me, please.", Annabeth asked while Will dug in his bag for a piece of ambrosia.
"Okay, we believe that five of the demigods are: Jason, Percy, Leo, Piper, and Annabeth. Jason and Percy are included because they are the leaders of both camps and because they were switched. Piper and Leo are apart of the quest because Hera/Juno has specifically picked them to go on this quest. Annabeth because they need a strategist. We just need to more demigods that are Roman, do you have any idea who they could be?", Malcom concluded.
"Actually, Malcom we already know who the demigods will be. My father visited me earlier and told me that Gwen and Bobby are the other demigods needed to go on this quest." Percy spoke up for the first time.
"Percy, Jason if you don't mind, please tell us how much of your past have you remember." Chiron asked.
"Well I remember all most all of my past just a few bits and pieces." Jason replied.
"Me too, I just don't remember what happened after the council with the gods when we defeated Kronos and some of my quests." Percy said. I noticed when he said 'Kronos' he had a tinge of sadness in his voice and the Greeks facial expressions changed from happy and care-free to sad and depressed.
"Chiron, I think the monsters are after Benkendorf's shield." Annabeth told him.
"Wait, what is this Benkendorf's shield? And why is it so important that the monsters would want it?", Dakota asked. All of the Greeks looked at each other as if debating on whether they could tell us.
Finally after what seemed like minutes, Annabeth said, "Benkendorf's shield is a video shield that I had a good friend of ours, who was a child of Hephaestus the best one in the forges, make before he died". She lifted up the gleaming bronze round shield that Thalia had lifted up moments ago, "The reason I think that the monsters would want to take the shield is that the shield sunlight or moonlight from anywhere in the world to create a reflection. You can literally see any target under the sun or moon, as long as natural light is touching it. Since our target is the Giants, we can use the shield to see how many of the Giants have risen or how far away they are from Greece, I don't know why I didn't think about it before."
"Wow, I wonder how he made it? Did he use….,"Dakota rambled off going to talk to Leo in a conversation about the mechanics of the shield.
"Annabeth, I understand what you mean about using the shield to spy on the Giants. But don't we need an exact location?", Malcom asked.
"If what you're saying about needing an exact location of the Giants to spy on them, then I think you, Annabeth, and I should brainstorm some ideas of where they might be. But, Annabeth you don't look so good so I think we should wait to start brainstorming. Is that ok with you guys?", said Hazel talking for the first time since the meeting had started.
"Yeah, that's fine with us.", Malcom told her.
"Pups, I think it would be best if you all went back to Camp Half-Blood with them to prepare for the war, is that alright with you Chiron?" Lupa stated.
"That's the reason why we came, Lupa, and I'll treat them like my own campers so don't worry tell be in good hands." Chiron replied.
"Great, I think it would be wise for us to spend the night here, and in the morning you all can set off." Lupa said.
"I need to go clear my head," Percy stated and got up and left, I knew better than to go and follow him when he needed some time to think. Right after he left, Annabeth told the others something in Greek. Then Travis stood up and leaned on a tree nearby and said, "What if I do tell him? Whatca going to do, Annie, you can't do anything with that arm of yours."
"Travis, don't you want to live? I guess not cause your about to have your shroud burned when we get back to camp." Connor said. Then fast as lighting, Annabeth whipped out her knife and it went flying straight towards Travis. The knife embedded itself in Travis shirt making it stuck to the tree.
"Travis, I thought you would have learned by now not to underestimate me and as for if you tell him. Then poor Katie won't have a boyfriend anymore," Annabeth replied while she took her knife out of the tree and Travis's shirt. Travis's face was so priceless that all of us were laughing.
"I like this girl," Bobby stated with amusement in his voice.
"Don't we all." Travis said sarcastically, which earned him a jab in the ribs from Annabeth.
"Butch, I have to go Iris message someone, so is the fountain working?"
"Yeah, it should be, come get me if it isn't,"
"Leo, Piper, and Jason I need you to go get some blankets, pillows, and some food from the storage closet." Chiron told them. The trio nodded and walked off with Annabeth in the same direction Percy went in. Looks, like the bonding time already started, I thought while I looked around at the people beside me. They were all talking and laughing with each other like we were all old friends. Well at least were all getting along.
But, not for long.
