Disclaimer: I don't own the jet-black haired hottie or the lightning scarred boy! XD
Chapter 5
- Percy's POV
The unfamiliar boy was panting and sweating as he placed his hands on his knees. I looked at him, and found a pale, sweaty face. His eyes were squeezed shut, and his hands and his legs were trembling. "Hey, you okay, man?" I asked worriedly. I waited for him to catch his breath, and he finally spoke, "I'm sorry." Yep, that was the first thing he said to me. "For what? You didnt do anything wrong... right?" I added the last part, asking him in a unsure tone. "Kronos," he panted and took a deep breath, "He's alive. And he took your friends for a sacrifice to himself."
I couldn't believe it. No, I refuse to believe it. "You mean Jason and Piper? The boy with the blonde hair and the girl with chocolate brown hair?" He nodded. My jaw dropped and I was sure my eyes were wide.
Then I added suspiciously, "Wait, how do you know this?" "I was one of the demigods in Kronos' army." and my eyes narrowed and having coldness in them. "But," then he suddenly started crying, "he was going to use me as a sacrifice as well. I was scared, so I ran away. I tried to free your friends but," he sniffed, "when I returned with something to cut the ropes they were in, they were already gone." I instantly felt bad for him but after the word "gone", he started crying hysterically.
I was too shocked to comfort him. How can Jason and Piper be dead? They're two of the most powerful demigods I know. Maybe the boy is lying. Maybe he's putting a prank on me... But look at him. His shirt is torn and he really looks like he's telling the truth. There's only one answer. They are really dead. I felt like I've been stabbed in the chest. My hands started shaking like crazy. My reaction was worse than the boy's. My eyes just couldn't get wider. Then, in the corner of my eye, I saw Annabeth running up to me. As she got closer, her expression grew more worried. I tried to hide my reaction to the shocking news, but I just couldn't. She started studying my face and she finally asked, "Perce, you okay?" I decided to tell her later and lied, "Huh? Yeah, yeah, everything's fine."
Then, she did something I unexpected. I thought she was going to press me further, but instead, she gave me a calming hug. It calmed me just a teeny bit. Then she said in a soothing voice, "If you're not comfortable talking about whatever you are shocked about, you can tell me later, ok?" I calmed down a bit more, but I still couldn't get the words out of my head.
Then, she suddenly said, "Hey, Perce. Chiron called for a senior meeting. You ready to go?" I wasn't so sure, but I nodded anyway. So I put my arms around her shoulders as she put her arm around my waist.
When we walked into the Big House I scanned the room. It was all of my friends who helped me defeat Kronos. But my heart sank. But Kronos was alive. I wanted to apologize properly on my knees and just cry.
Then Chiron interrupted my depressing thoughts. He said, "I have very urgent news, everybody! Please listen!" he said in a panicked tone. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Last night, I heard a chanting sound and went outside to check. What I saw surprised me. It was our oracle, Rachel, spitting out a prophecy. I memorized it. She said,
'To re - heal the once bloodshed world better.
Three and the wise one's army shall destroy the once-dead,
While seven shall perish the ancient immortal's head.
However, chaos shall come once again,
To be saved by the cursed wand and pen.'
When I heard the prophecy, I looked at my girlfriend. She looked as if she was questioning herself. I bet she's having the same questions as me. In fact, it seemed like everyone was having the same questions. They only looked at each other, not saying a word.
Then finally, Chiron said, "I don't know most about the prophecy, but I know that the wise's army is Dumbledore's army." Then suddenly Annabeth said excitedly, "No way! You mean the Dumbledore in, like, the Harry Potter books?" Chiron answered, "Yes, my child, the Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of all. The one who Voldemort was most scared of. In fact, the only one." he stated. "But–""Now let me explain." he interrupted Annabeth. "Don't say that wizards are not real because they are. Dumbledore is my old friend. He is very wise. Yes, almost as wise as Athena. He's done lots of great and tremendous things. He has an army because there was a powerful enemy. Yes, almost as powerful as Kronos. Some of his students, considering the fact that he was a headmaster at Hogwarts, a school where wizards and witches go, made an army. They made it in the name of Dumbledore. It was called the D.A." He paused to get a drink of water.
"They made the army to fight the enemy, Lord Voldemort. But let's go back to the prophecy. So the wise's army is Dumbledore's Army. And there is another group. It's called the Golden Trio. There was Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Now, Harry Potter. He was a very famous boy and he still is now in the wizarding world. When he was a baby, Voldemort tried to kill his family and Harry's father died trying to protect his wife and his child. When he was trying to kill Harry, his mom was also trying to protect him. So Voldemort got irritated and killed her also." He paused again to get the story in our heads.
"But when he used a killing curse on Harry Potter, he didn't get killed. Instead, it left a lightning scar on Harry's forehead backfiring the curse to Voldemort. So Voldemort grew really weak he couldn't even exist. But the reason why Harry didn't die was because of love. It was his mother's love that protected him. So because he "killed" Voldemort, people praised him. They called him "The-Boy-Who-Lived". And when Harry was about 14, Voldemort grew into full power and when Harry was about 18, Harry and his friend and Voldemort had a war. Many people were killed including Voldemort. So the 3 is obviously the Golden Trio and the once-dead is Voldemort. But I don't know who the 'ancient immortal' is." Okay, this is where I had to step in. "Uh, I think I know who it is."
As the story, about Jason and Piper, went, the girls were crying, including Annabeth and the boys had their eyes wide open and their jaws hanging. Yep, exactly like my reaction. As soon as I finished the story, I immediately wrapped my arms around Annabeth. She was sobbing hard now, and I had no idea to comfort her. Even Chiron looked taken aback.
Then, he finally said, "Well, now we know who the ancient immortal is, we have to decide the 7 demigods." People looked at him questioningly, as he sighed and explained, "Obviously, if wizards destroy a wizard, Greeks have to destroy a Greek. So the Golden Trio destroys Voldemort, and the 7 demigods destroy Kronos. But who will the 7 demigods be? Hmm…"
He looked around the room and set his eyes on me, Annabeth, Thalia, Leo, and Nico a little bit longer than everybody else. "Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Leo, and Nico will be part of the 7 demigods. You will be going to Hogwarts to learn a bit of magic, and join forces with the Golden Trio and the D.A. Oh, and Hecate will bless you so you can actually perform magic." Then Annabeth said, "Chiron, you said part of the 7 demigods. Who will be the other 2?"
Everybody turned to Chiron. "Do you remember Draco and Luna? They will be the other 2. They will wait for you at Hogwarts." We nodded before Chiron said, "You will be leaving tomorrow at 8:00 am." Then he called us off.
A/N: So, you liked it? I'm glad to hear that! Oh and I'm really sorry for the Jasper fans. I really dont like them so I just had to do that. So here's the Percabeth scene. And plz review :)

Percy: Just asking, Wisegirl. :)
Annabeth: What was that smile? I know that smile, it's the im-guilty-please-dont-kill-me smile... What did you do, Percy.
Percy: Nothing... Or maybe did something like accidentally spill water on one of your blueprints for Olympus?...
Annabeth: YOU DID WHAT! I am so gonna kill you, Percy!
Percy: OW!
(After 15 minutes)
Me: Oh my gods, what happened to you, Percy?
Percy: Oh nothing, just got my face crushed, butt kicked, and got smacked on the head, and tons of more. Really not a big deal.
Me: Sure, not a big deal...
