"Mikayla, you need to calm down. Now just tell me what happened." Chiron said as he pulled up next to me in his wheel chair.
"I got mad at Thalia and when I went to hit her back I wasn't human. I was a wolf!" I said. I pulled my knees close to my chest, trying to get a hold of myself.
"Well maybe that's something special a child of Artemis can do" he replied trying to be reassuring. I turned away from him, wishing he didn't bring up the Goddess. From the corner of my eye I saw Thalia come in. She had grown out her black hair, which was blowing in the wind.
"Chiron, we need to talk" she stated sternly. He nodded and gestured her into the living room. She walked in and glanced at me, a look of fear dancing in her eyes. "We need to look for Lady Artemis."
"That letter she left stated that she did not want you to go after her." Chiron replied, sitting up, trying to make himself seem more assertive.
"I don't care what she says! We need her back! Without her we have no idea what to do! I must go on a quest to find her!" Thalia cried, her eyes watering.
"I'm not sure she wants to be found by you, Thalia. She might want to be found by someone…closer." Chiron stated, his eyes locking on me.
"I am her closest advisor!" Thalia retorted.
"But this isn't your quest!" Chiron shouted.
"Then whose is it?"
"Mikayla Ledger shall consult with the Oracle!"
"Excuse me? I don't want to see her again!" I cried out, holding tears back.
"I don't care! You will go to the attic and speak with the Oracle and that's final!" Chiron yelled back. With my head low, I climbed upstairs. The floor creaked under my Sambas as I stepped through the attic. I had never been up here before, but Percy had told us how creepy everything was; he was right. I hurried past all the collections from the quests others had gone on. In the very back sat the Oracle, as if waiting for me. I stood in front of it, waiting for something to help.
"A relationship between mother and daughter in shamble, only a trip to Olympus would make things return to the norm. The forbidden child accompanied by a daughter of Zeus will bring the Goddess of the Hunt back to her place."
After the Oracle was finished speaking, I was in complete shock. I ran out of the attic, hoping that the prophecy wasn't true. I bolted out of the Big House, leaving Thalia and Chiron in my dust. I kept running until I reached the beach. With no one else around I began to cry.
