Hey Everyone! Sorry it took so long! I'm writing another book. Be sure to answer the questions at the bottom, if you can, because some people can't answer questions with no wrong answer (like me!) lol!

I Get Dissed By Palla

Percy-

Since Luke was still knocked out, Palla and Annabeth snuck him into his bed chamber. No one would come in Luke's study, fear that he may snap them with his sword. Oh yeah, what defense to they have against a two-sided sword. Just venomous fangs and gruesome weapons.

I fought with a chair that I couldn't sit in as I waited for them to return. Apparently, they changed into their bed clothes. Annabeth was in a ratty t-shirt and dirty pajama pants, while Palla whore shorts, and I Love the Princess AndromedaT-shirt, and blue and white socks that matched the set. She walked around and sat in Luke's seat while Annabeth sat in the chair I was trying to use. Like my mom always says, ladies first.

"I must say, Percy," she said. "I thought you were cute at camp, but your ghost form is quiet attractive."

So many things about that sentence disturbed us. Palla was the only one that didn't care, she just smiled away. Annabeth looked a little to disturbed and I said something intelligent like, "Umm…"

I could see how she was changing. She still had her arrogant and brave personality, but she seemed a little more caring and loving. I mean, she was nice and thought of others, but when it came to these situations, she didn't think of the fallen, unless they really had some usage. I guess I have some. She used to follow the "if a solider falls, step over them and let them die peacefully" policy. I've heard its outcome was better than FDR New Deal. Though she cares for me, I was shocked she saved me and technically Luke, (she didn't kill him.)

"I can tell you have some questions." She stated.

"I can tell you have some too." I answer back. She gave a small, flirty, crooked smile, like Cece when she's up to something sneaky.

"Yes, but sadly, you are not allowed to do so."

I didn't know why I couldn't. I wasn't in any mood to ask unreasonable questions. There was no time. I couldn't spend as much attention on Annabeth as I wanted, so I just stood by her.

"Why are you still here?"

Her eyes twinkled, like she knew what I was going to ask. "You really don't know what a true prisoner is, do you?"

"What are you talking about? You have your own chamber, freedom to move around, taken on dates. You're treated as if you're-"

"The Queen?"

My heart sunk. A huge lump. It was worse enough having a huge amount of close people to turn on the camp, but Palla, was a new low.

"You turned on us! How could-"

"Percy," She said. Putting her hand up. "Don't make me. You've seen what Cece can do. That doesn't mean I won't do it to." That made me shut up.

"Palla, you turned on us. You're going to overthrow your own parent, destroy all your friends at Camp Half-blood, and destroy mankind all for some punk?"

Palla's face darkened. It was the scariest one I've ever saw. She glowed brighter than ever, but her skin darkened. Her eyes turned from hazel to jet black. She had a smile as if she was going to kill me right there. Her voice was harsh, but slow, like she was trying to stay calm.

"Perceus Jackson," she said. Her voice was strong and ancient. "Why in Tatarus would I be working for Kronos?"

"You just said-"

"She's Queen of Kronos' army and followers." Annabeth finished. "She's undercover. She's on our side."

That's when I said the best come back ever. "Um… Well… Heh…"

That's when she walked over to me and gave an unfriendly smile. Her expression lightened up a few notches. I realized it wasn't hate, it was pain and embarrassment. She put her hand out and waved it in the air. "Be gone!" and with that. I was gone.

I opened my eyes to see nothing but a deep green. I moved my arms a bit to feel a cloth. I dragged it over my face and took a deep breath. I heard a few gasps and screams. Travis Stoll was holding a cloth that was the same color as the one on me, but with a simple trident embroidered on it. He dropped it to the ground and ran to pat me on the back, like I just won a basketball game instead of dying.

"Percy!" he yelled. A few others from the Hermes cabin came and congratulated me on not dying (and one congratulated me on dying and coming back).

"Percy," a girl's voice said. I turned towards the direction of the voice. She was tall, lean, and had gray eyes. It was Cece, but she was almost unrecognizable. Her hair was usually longer than Palla's, but it was cut to the top her hips, instead of at her hips. Her hair was ebony with golden brown highlights in it. She wore a red tank top with black lace, black denim shorts, and a black denim vest with a chain on one of the pockets. She almost looked like a girlier version of Thalia.

Instead of having her alluring from being looking innocent and smart, she looked seductive and dangerous, yet still sweet and mysterious. I wondered how long I actually was gone. Was it that time was faster out of my body, or does she just change fast? She didn't answer that one, but I knew she guessed my question right. The Hermes kids stepped behind her. Conner and Travis were hitting each other's elbows behind her, like they were keeping a secret. There was no telling what they were up too.

She gave me a small hug. "I'm so glad you are back." Her face was close to mine. She was only a few inches under my nose, so she grew an inch or two. She and Palla always wore too much eyeliner, but she had everything on you could think of. Her skin glowed like the sun. She had smoky eye makeup and red, glossy lipstick. Her pupils went from milky brown to the color of her highlights. Her side bang still covered her right eye and she still had her same style, so she wasn't totally lost.

"I'm glad to be back."

Something in my gut told me not to tell anyone what happened, not until later. We all had a toga party to celebrate my heroic way of coming back to life. I knew something that no one else could know; Palla was seducing and using Luke's love to defeat him, Annabeth and Palla was in more danger than we know, and Cece look great in black and read (you didn't just read that.)

After lunch, the councilors, Chiron, Mr. D, and Cece all met in the Big House for another final meeting. Sonic sat on a stand next to Cece and Dalila rested on her lap as she rubbed her back.

"Tell us, Cece." Chiron asked. "Tell us exactly what the Oracle said. She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip. Surprisingly, it didn't bleed.

She started:

"Six shall travel through the land,

Where there home is a maze,

By their sibling's hands.

Your followers shall learn a lesson that is truth,

By one's lover,

The head of the enemy's troops.

A friend will turn, and suffer with their eyes,

And one will lose their lover to a choice of what's right and what's wise."

Everyone was quiet, contemplating. I had a bad feeling their will be another Trojan War along with this trip. The eyes part must have something to do with Cece, but she can't even use them. The last sentence has to be Palla and Luke.

"Will the Hunters be available to help?" Mr. D asked. He shook his head. "They left yesterday morning to help out with their part of the war."

He turned to Palla. "Very good, Cece. Who shall be your tree companions?"

She looked around the room. "I have wise choices." Chiron became worried. He had a bad feeling about a young wise decision. "Find me Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades. I need him the most. Followed by Grover, Percy, and the Stoll brothers." Chiron began to argue, but changed his mind. "I will start a search party. You all began to prepare. You start tomorrow morning at dawn. Don't be late." And with that, Sonic looked a Cece pleased at her decision and Chiron dismissed us all.

Questions!

When should I have started the quest?

What do you suspect the prophecy is predicting will happen?

What do you think of the Andrew twin's change from being a part?

Answer them if you dare.
