A/N So, this is Chapter 5 of Demigod Mouth. And I know it has taken me awhile to post chapters, but I have had a serious case of writers block, and a really bad schedule. Anyway, I am back and ready for more, so here is Chapter 5 of Demigod Mouth.


Chapter 5

Olivia's POV

"Did you just say what I think you just said?" I said looking at Thalia.

"Yes, the minotaur is going to Arizona." Thalia said looking me dead in the eye.

"Well what are we waiting for let's go!" Wen said trying to leave the cavern followed by Mo, Charlie, and Stella.

"Wen, stop!" I said grabbing his wrist.

"Olivia, everyone we love could be in danger we have to go help them!" Wen yelled. I took a step back. The look in his eyes was filled with such fire that it scared me. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you it's just…" Wen looked down at his feet trying to find his words, "Our families are in danger Liv. Grams is in danger Liv, we have to go help them." Wen said looking at me.

"I know Wen, but we can't leave the camp." I said looking up at him.

"What do you mean that we can't leave camp?" Stella said looking at me as though she couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth.

"If the Minotaur is going to Arizona because of your scents, then us going to help would only make it worse. Plus it's not up to us who goes to help. The Oracle tells us." I said looking at each of my friends.

"Oracle? Okay Olivia I have seen some pretty crazy stuff since I got here, but this is getting ridiculous. I'm going to help Baba!" Mo said looking at me.

"Mo. You fought a hydra, and you're saying an Oracle is crazy? Three days ago the Greek Gods were myths to you guys, and now you're the children of them." I said looking at Mo, "Look, something's here are still crazy to me too and I've been living with this since I was 6." I said.

"Olivia is right," Chiron said, I almost forgot he was there, if it wasn't for the constant flicking of his tail. "The Oracle will decide you're fate. You will each be sent to see the Oracle tomorrow, if she gives you a prophecy then that person will decide who goes with them." Chiron explained.

"So we won't know until tomorrow. The Minotaur could be there by then." Charlie said.

"The Minotaur only moves by night, so it doesn't get seen. The Mist can only hide so much. Also The Minotaur isn't one of the smartest beasts, it will most likely get lost. Also Tartarus is in Los Angeles, and it's trying to get to Arizona. We should be fine." Thalia said looking at Charlie.

"At least it gives me some peace of mind." Charlie said.

"You children should all go back to your cabins and get some sleep. Tomorrow one of you will be given a prophecy. You need your rest." Chiron said.

We all left the cavern in silence. Thalia had went to go stay in the Zeus Cabin and Percy, Annabeth and Grover went off to spend some time together. It wasn't until we were in the middle of the field that the others started asking questions.

"Olivia, what did Chiron mean the person with the prophecy chooses who goes with them?" Charlie asked.

"Charlie I think it's kind of obvious what it means." Stella said looking at Charlie in disbelief.

"Actually Stell, it's quite the opposite. The Oracle is quite a confusing topic, even Chiron doesn't know everything about the Oracle, and he's been alive since the Greek Gods were still in Greece. What happens is one of two things, either the Oracle tells you a prophecy and doesn't tell you how many people go with you, and automatically three people go on the quest. Or the Oracle will tell you how many people go with you and predicts the death of the others until three people are left." I said looking down at the ground.

"Wait, either three go automatically, or more go and three come back?" Charlie asked trying to understand everything.

"Basically." I said looking over at Charlie.

"Why three though?" Mo asked.

"Chiron explained it years ago. Three is a sacred number, there are three Fates, three Furies, and three Olympian sons of Kronos, also known as The Big Three around camp. When Annabeth was taken by the manticore years ago five people went on the quest and only three of the five came back. When more than three go it usually has consequences." I said looking at the group.

"Like Death." Wen said looking at me.

"Exactly. I just pray to Zeus that the Oracle won't give us a number." I said looking at the sky and seeing only stars, even though there were storm clouds all around.


Charlie's POV

I went into my cabin; I stayed in the Hermes cabin since I was a son of Hermes, and went to my bunk. Many people who didn't have a bunk glared at me. Children of Hermes were given priority when it comes to bunks. I really wished I could have moved to another cabin, but the Hermes cabin houses all new campers until they get claimed, and unfortunately some of them don't get claimed so it gets pretty crowded.

I laid down and put my hand under my head. I kept running what Olivia said through my head trying to make sense of it. If we all went to Arizona to help our families, two of us wouldn't come back. Needless to say I didn't sleep that night. I lay awake all night thinking about what would happen tomorrow. I thought about my friends. I thought about my parents and Billy. I thought about Grams, and little Georgie, Mo's Baba, and I even thought about Double Trouble, Timothy and Andrew.

I left the cabin the next morning and saw the group, looked like no one else had slept either. Stella was still in the clothes she wore yesterday. "Let me guess. None of you got any sleep either?" They all nodded.

"I was so worried about what might happen today." Olivia said, Wen pulled her into his arms and just hugged her for a minute, it wasn't long until we heard little sobs come from Olivia, "I'm just scared we'll get a number and some of us might not come back." Olivia said turning her head to look at us.

"That's not happening." Stella said, taking Olivia's face in her hands. She looked back at Mo and me, "If we're all sent, we're all coming back. No one's being left behind." She then took her hands off Olivia's face, and hugged her. Mo followed Stella and I went in last. We stood there for a good five minutes. We got stares from people, but we didn't care, we didn't care what they were staring at us for, or for how long they stared. We just cared about each other.

When we finally broke we went to find a table where we could all sit together, kinda like back at Mesa. Our cabins tried to make us sit with them, but we just ignored them. We just sat and ate our breakfast. "Hey guys." I looked up and saw Annabeth, Percy, Grover, and Thalia walk over and sit with us. It was fine by us. "How you doing?" Annabeth said sitting down putting a hand on Stella's shoulder.

"Fine," Olivia said not looking up from her food, she wasn't even eating, just pushing it around the plate with her fork.

"Olivia," Percy said trying to make her look at him, "Don't lie to me like that. I've known you since you were eleven." Olivia still wouldn't look up from her plate.

"I'm fine Percy!" Olivia said trying to sound strong. Wen put his arms around her, and she just started crying lightly into Wen's chest. "Can we just please stop talking about it." Olivia said into Wen's shirt.

"I don't think so Olivia." Grover said, "Chiron is coming over here, and I think I know why." Olivia just kept crying.

"It's time. Olivia if you could come with me." Chiron said holding out his hand. Olivia started to stand up by herself, when Wen (A/N no pun intended, okay maybe a little bit) stood up next to her.

"We're going together." Wen said taking Olivia's hand. Mo then went over and took Olivia's other hand, followed by Stella and lastly me. We stood there like we did when we saw the billboard of us on top of Dante's pizza shop.

"That's not how it works, son…" Chiron started.

"We're going together." Wen repeated. By now everyone was staring at us, but we were used to being stared at.

"Fine then. Follow me." Chiron said trotting off. We followed, not letting go of one another for a moment.

Chiron led us to a barn and opened the attic door. "One at a time, I promise not to separate you." Chiron said after Wen shot him a quick daggers glare. Olivia went in first followed by Wen, then me, then Stella, and lastly Mo. After I helped Mo getting up, the door shut by itself.

"It's time guys." Olivia said staring at something in the middle of the room. Mo looked and screamed when she realized what it was.

It looked like a mummified corpse of a girl. I put my hand on her shoulder to steady her from falling. "How are we supposed to get a prophecy from that thing!" I said. Just as I finished my sentence, a green fog or smoke came out of her mouth. Mo fainted, Stella looked like she was about to be sick, Wen was wide eyed, Olivia tried to look strong, but her eyes were filled with fear, as for me, I was trying not to pass out myself since I was holding Mo.

"Five of you shall travel to the place that you call home

One will be lost to someone who belongs in Rome

One will be lost fighting for their friends

Only three will remain, and return in the end."

The Oracle finished her statement. The green smoke was sucked away into her mouth. Olivia broke down crying. "No! Please no! Anything but this! Please! PLEASE! Oh gods! Why!" Olivia was on the ground sobbing into her hands. Wen was trying to comfort her.

"What happened?" Mo said waking up.

"We were given a number." I said looking down at Mo.


Olivia's POV

Why! The one thing I asked for not to happen, happened. All of us were going, but only three of us were coming back. I felt Wen's arms around me. He was trying to calm me down, but I don't think he fully understood what was happening. Two of us were going to die, but we didn't know which two. As soon as the attic door opened I bounded out of there. I ran as fast as I could, tears streaming down my face. I heard the others yelling my name behind me. I stopped, and turned around. I did something I hadn't done in years. I reached my hand to the sky and summoned all of my strength. A ray of sunlight came into my hand and I threw it at the others. It was only a little ray, strong enough to blind them for a minute so I could run away. As soon as I was sure they couldn't see me, I turned and kept running.

The summoning of the sun took away most of my strength, but I was determined to get where I needed to go. I ran as fast as I could until I found the place I wanted. I sat down on a rock that had my name printed on it a thousand times, and a small hand print on it from when I was eleven.

I heard the others coming. They were screaming my name, I also heard Percy, Annabeth, Thalia and Grover. I listened more closely, and I heard two voices that I didn't want to hear.

"Olivia!" I heard Wen yell, as he saw me and he ran towards me. He knelt down beside me and pulled me into a big bear hug. I started crying into his shoulder.

"Olivia, what in the Gods names did you do that for!" Thalia said. Obviously she was there when I blinded the others, and I just didn't see her.

"Thalia!" Percy said. He had always been like a big brother to me, "In case you can't tell, she's pretty broken up right now." Percy said. I couldn't see anything, my head was so far nuzzled into Wen's shoulder.

"I'm sorry." I half said, half sobbed.

"Don't be." Mo said.

"Yeah, I would've done the same thing, if I could." Stella said.

"We understand." Charlie said.

"Could someone explain to me what is going on!" I heard a voice yell, voice I didn't want to hear, a voice that belonged to one, Ray Beech. I looked up and saw him and Scott standing on the left of Thalia.

"I'll explain." Stella said. "Basically the minotaur is headed to Mesa, putting all of our families in danger. Five of us are going and only three of us are coming back. Does that clear everything up?" Stella said glaring at Ray and Scott. I started crying harder after Stella finished.

"STELLA!" I heard Percy, Mo, and Charlie yell at her.

"Can you guys go talk about this somewhere else?" Wen said.

"Yeah sure, we'll leave you two alone." Thalia said.

"Olivia!" I looked up and saw Percy pointing at Wen mouthing, "I'm watching him!" I smiled slightly, but it wasn't enough.

"Olivia," I pulled my head off of Wen's shoulders and looked at him. He was staring at me, I could see something in his eyes, but I wasn't sure what. "Listen, this may not be the best time to talk about this, but considering the circumstances…" Wen started until tears started brimming in my eyes again. "What is it?" Wen said.

"The circumstances Wen. That's what it is. Five of us are going to go to Mesa, and only three of us are going to come back!" I said in between sobs. Wen put my face in his hands and started wiping the tears off my face with his thumb.

"Didn't you hear what Stella said? If all five of us go, all five of us come back." Wen said looking at me.

"The Oracle prophesized it Wen. She is rarely wrong." I said looking at him dead in the eyes.

"Olivia stop, that's not going to happen! If she's rarely wrong, then there is a chance she could be wrong." Wen said looking at me, hope filling his eyes.

"But what if she isn't Wen. What if…." I was cut off by Wen's lips on mine. My eyes widened in surprise, but then closed slowly. Wendell Gifford was kissing me, Olivia White. Shy, book worm, goofy, klutzy Olivia White.

Wen pulled away slowly, I opened my eyes to see him staring at me. "It's not going to happen Olivia." He said. I nodded slowly. He kissed me one more time, and I could feel a smile coming onto my lips, Wen felt it and smiled himself.

"Now let's go find the others." Wen said standing up holding out his hand to help me up. I took it and grasped it tightly. I wasn't going to let it go. Wen kissed the top of my head as we started walking off to find the others.


A/N I FINALLY GOT TO WENLIVIA! You have no idea how long I have been waiting to write a Wenlivia kiss. I am so happy. So what do you think is going to happen on the Quest. Now before you guys go all YOU CAN'T KILL THE BAND! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!, I suggest you read the prophecy carefully. There will be a twist. Anyway, sorry about the crappy prophecy, I was just trying to make it rhyme, and it was 12:00am when I wrote it soooooo...
