Hey guys :) I will get to the story in a moment but first I have a question, I am thinking of writing a fanfic where you can either read the whole thing like a story or just follow one character's story by jumping to other chapters, what do you think? Would you read it and if so how? Whole or character by character? Leave a review response, any way on to the story, where were we? Ah yes camp... and Zia...
Disclaimer: I own nothing
As Zia fell she prayed this would work... not to the Egyptian gods, they would hate her now, or at least be very displeased, hate was a strong word to use when talking about the gods, no Zia prayed to other higher powers, to Olympus, to her Father, and her aunt, and anyone who would help her after her refusal to do what was right, after she ran away from camp, and left the Greek world behind. She was about two thirds of the way down and falling fast, had almost given up hope when a shaft of light appeared around her and she heard a voice in her head.
"Hello Zia, daughter of mine, what brings you running back after you swore never to return?" Zia sighed,
"Hello Father," she thought "the worlds, the gods … it is all in peril, and I will do what I must to prevent the very fabric of this world coming apart." there was a pause and then Zia realised she was now standing on the ground, the light vanished and Zia ran off, keeping up a mental conversation with her father
"Even if it means accepting your fate?"
"Yes even then"
"Very well, then I should inform you the Boy of Horus follows you"
"Of course he is," she muttered. To her father she said "What of Zoe?"
"Zoe Nightshade is now in the Realms of the Dead" this was a new voice and one Zia knew only two well
"Well then it shouldn't be too hard for her to help me" She responded, there was a pause before Hades replied
"What you ask is impossible, for me to allow someone to return it can not be done."
"Well then I guess you can all kiss my fate goodbye, without Zoe it can't happen can it?" Zia walked a thin line, while no-one knew exactly what Zia's future was, they knew it was tied to a prophecy, only when the Oracle was asked it had spouted one line then paused, Zia shuddered remembering what had happened next, what the Oracle had said then: 'Daughter of Fire and Shade of Night,' the Oracle paused, 'I cannot see this prophecy, only the first line, good luck adventurer on you search' the eyes dimmed and Zia had returned from the attic more confused than before. Zia was yanked out of her memory by the two gods fighting in her head
"It is still impossible!"
"She's right, without the Hunter this will not work, I can see that much" Hades seemed to pause before replying
"Very well, but only her, and only as a Shade, nothing more, understood?"
"Very much Uncle"
"I Told You Not To Call Me That" Zia felt the pressure in her head which she hadn't even noticed till now relax a little as Hades left,
"Thank you father" Zia thought
"I have brought you some breathing space, but don't count on it lasting, head straight back to camp now Zia" He was gone before Zia had the chance to respond.
Zia's feet hadn't stopped in her running the whole time but she hadn't been paying attention to where she was going, now looking around she realised she was at the BAG Academy, but it was deserted, she glanced at her watch and started at the time
"How long was I going for?" she muttered to herself, then remembered the pyramid Sadie had got Alyssa to be placed in the school grounds, "Well it's as good as any other," she mused to herself before heading onto the grounds.

Back to CHB...
Drew and Katie stood before the camp council, telling them what had happened for about the third time when they heard a crash and thud upstairs, everyone jumped up grabbing their various weapons and run up the stairs, Jason Grace in the lead. At the top of the stairs they found a girl looking completely wreaked, as if she had fought fifty monsters at once, she spun at the sound of them holding her own sword before recognising Jason and starting
"You should defiantly not be here," she stated before passing out, Jason and Piper ran forward to catch her as she fell.
"Jason," Piper said "Who is this girl?"
"And how does she know you?" Annabeth seemed on guard, unusual for her
"This," Jason looked directly at Piper as he said it "Is Zia Rashid, and," He turned to look at Annabeth "She was my first quest,"

"Halt, Magician, and hear me, for I bear a warning and a message," Carter looked around for the person the voice belonged too, before thinking that maybe there wasn't one, then a shape started to form out of the shadows and stepped forward, but it wasn't a person, it was mist in the shape of a person, not not mist he thought but, she was certainly not quite human... she almost looked like …
"A ghost?" he whispered, the girl smiled sadly, yes that it what I am, but I am not here to talk about me, I'm sure you'll find out later, for now I bear a message and a warning for you Cater Kane," Carter gulped and tried to look brave
"All right, I assume your not going to let me leave until you tell me so shoot," he looked at her
"Very well, if that is thy- your wish then, the message: If you chose to continue you will risk the life of all, humans, magicians, gods, - your sister has already done this but if you turn back now then it may be put right without much harm, if you chose to go on this is impossible," she paused as if waiting for an answer
"I have to go on, I need to find Zia," Carter said, the girl frowned,
"Why does thy- do you care so much for Zia anyway?" she asked
"She's my girlfriend, I've saved the world been hailed as a hero and I will stop at nothing to save her," he replied "Is this part of the message or warning?" he inquired, the girl shook her head
"No simply my curiosity," she replied "On to the warning then:" She opened her mouth but the voice that came out wasn't her's: "Carter," Carter started, it was Zia speaking, "Don't try to find me, you take the massive risk of losing your life, you risk my life, and you risk the safety of Brooklyn House, if you follow me there will be know way to stop them from storming the House to find Lacy, I warn you we can be ruthless, so think hard before continuing." When the message finished Carter shook his head, and looked at the ghost
"I understand the warning, truly I do, but Zia is my girlfriend and I have to find her," he said the girl nodded like she expected this,
"Very well I have done all I can, but since Zia trusts you I will give you some free words of advice, Zia's last boyfriend betrayed her, tried to kill her and nearly succeeded in destroying the world, Zia hasn't trusted men since. You claim to be a hero, boy, but in my experience, and Zia's too, men are unreliable, and heroes are the worst," then the mist dissipated and she vanished.
Happy fun times! well I did it, I got through the next chapter, :) guesses as to who the ghost was? No prizes unfortunately, sorry for the OCness of pretty much every character, I'll try to get back on track next time. NO stop what you are thinking about Jason and Zia, that's not what I meant okay? Next time I'll try to explain what I mean, in the meantime drop a comment for a earlier chapter :) bye!
