If you don't know where you're going any road will get you there. ~ Cheshire Cat, Alice in Wonderland
I own nothing.
On with the story!
Last time:
The children of Hades sat closest to him silently comforting him.
This was how they all stayed as Athena began the next chapter.
Now:
Athena started to read but Destiny suddenly stood up, surprising everyone. "I'm really sorry but it's super cramped in here, so I'm going to put a few of you into a sleep like coma until it's time to read your stories. And I'm gonna send some of you back to where you were when I took you." No one had anytime to react as she snapped her fingers and The Kanes, Magnus, and basically everyone from Camp-Half Blood(except for the mane ones) suddenly slumped and vanished. "We can continue now." Everyone was scared to anger her so they started reading.
Chapter 5:
(I ... food.)
Despite the serious events that had just happened, you couldn't help but laugh.
(I ... again.)
Leo smiled and tried to lighten the air, "Sounds like a solid plan to me!" it worked, everyone was smiling and laughing again.
(I ... spoon.)
Luke, who had remembered how Percy had described her at the end of the last chapter smirked, those two were so going to end up together.
(When ... weeks!")
The gods looked at each other worried, something had been stolen and everyone seems to think that this mortal did it.
("I'm ... gone.)
Thalia smirked, "Awe is someone disappointed they don't get to see the pretty girl again." Percy blushed and his cousins laughed.
(A ... hurt.)
Destiny mumbled something about ironic foreshadowing.
(On ... said.)
Percy smiled brightly, "Grover!" and no one could deny that once he started being somewhat happy the mood lifted.
(Grover ... boy.)
Gover took this chance, "Percy I can guarantee you that there is absolutely nothing plain about me, I'm too awesome." Percy laughed.
(So ... remember?")
Percy's eyes went wide, "Two days!?"
("My ... sunlight.)
"Awe thanks!" Thalia said, once again confusing everyone. "Why do you keep saying that?" Jason asked. "Well you see when I got to the camp a lot of monsters were attacking and I got really hurt and so Zeus turned me into a pine tree." She explained.
(My ... it.)
"I'm delusional?" Percy said, causing the few still left around him to laugh.
(Grover ... Gabe?)
Poseidon glared at the book, if nothing else his son would live with him at his palace. Also he would have to kill the annoying mortal, he could probably get his brothers in on it as well.
(No. ... something.)
Ares laughed, "I like you kid! You got spunk."
(Grover ... juice.)
Everyone laughed, "Don't worry everyone expects apple juice when the first taste it." Luke said as he laughed, making Percy feel a little bit better.
(It ... taste.")
Grover got a little nervous look in his eye, "No thanks I really don't want to burn up!"
(His ... wings.)
When Rachel heard the description she thought, 'I wanna go there.'
(Down ... park.)
Everyone laughed at the description of Mr. D
(He ... step-father.)
Said human looked outraged, and started trying to talk through the gag, making a lot of racket. You didn't need to understand him to know that he was cursing Percy, and Mr.D out. Destiny glared and the cats started getting even closer.
("That's ... Chiron...")
"Just a camper, huh." Annabeth said as she gave him the stink eye.
(He ... B.)
Everyone laughed, because that sounded exactly like something Chiron would do.
("Ah, ... you.")
Sarcastically Nico said, "Well he seems friendly!"
("Uh, ... satyr.)
There was a lot of laughter.
("Annabeth ... sleep.")
Some tried to hold in their laughter, others just let loose.
(Then ... Chiron.")
"Pseudo-what?" Leo asked. "A fake name, used as a disguise." Annabeth explained to him.
("Okay. ... absence.")
"Why do I get the feeling that 'convinced' is really another way of saying threatened?" Frank asked.
(I ... less.)
"Eh. No one really likes him, and he doesn't really like us. You'll get used to it." Luke said, making Percy smile.
("Well, ... not?")
Percy glared at the director, "Are you saying my mother was stupid?" His voice was deadly calm, and Grover mentally took back the statement that Ares glare was worse, Percy's was downright terrifying. The gods themselves were a little unnerved by the glare.
("What?" ... sufficient.")
Destiny laughed to herself, "I don't think any of the seven ever actually got to watch the orientation film."
("Orientation ... mournfully.)
Percy laughed, "Definitely a goat."
("Wait, ... day.)
"Is there anything I can do here that isn't followed by thunder?" Percy asked.
("Young ... him.)
The gods looked at each other, impressed. 'He's got more control that we thought.' Athena said to her family.
(I ... wine.)
Zeus glared at his son, "You're restricted from wine." Dionysus just shrugged and said, "Old habits die hard."
(My ... unfair.")
"Yes. Unfair to the campers who now have to deal with him." Percy said the the ones around him.
(Mr. D ... I?")
"It's gettin real deep now." Leo joked.
(Chiron ... chocolate.")
Suddenly the air smelled of chocolate. Everyone turned to Destiny who was drinking what looked to be some type of hot coco. "What? I'm thirsty."
"What is it?" Percy asked. "It's my way of making a cappuccino. I hate the taste of black coffee so I mix in a packet of hot coco, along with some type of creamer." Destiny said as she took another sip. Then she noticed how everyone looked like they wanted some so, she snapped her fingers and everyone got a cappuccino.
(And ... campers.")
Athena finished the chapter, "Someone else read for a little bit, I'm tired." And so the book got handed to Hazel.
She cleared her throat and began.
Next chapter will hopefully be up soon!
I actually do make my cappuccinos that way. I love the taste!
Sorry for getting rid of a lot of them but I decided that I wanted to limit it to the main characters and other important people.
