Hello my friends. This is the new chapter.

Liz: Say it!
Me: Say what?
Kate: The disclaimer!
Me: Whyyyyyy?
Karli: Or else, um, I won't let Kate and Liz be my friends.
Me: Okay! Okay! I don't own any of this except for my OC Liz. The other OCs are from other people. Read my OCs Needed story if you want to know exactly who the OCs belong to. Which you probably won't. Lazy readers. JK
Liz: On with the show!
Me: Hey, that's my line.

Last chapter: It wasn't long before another person came strolling down the path.

I raised my bow and peered through the leaves. I could make out a girl, I think she was an Aphrodite girl. That was one bad part about waiting in trees; you could barely see your victims. What was her name again? Delilah? Darlene? No, I think it was Drew. Yes, that was it. Drew. She was that girly-girl that used to be Aphrodite cabin counselor. That is, until Piper came along. Lately, though, there had been rumor that she had been re-elected since Piper had gone on the quest.
She stopped just under my tree. She seemed to sense me, though. She peered through the leaves of the tree I was in. I froze, motionless as her gaze swept through my tree. She stepped forward a few steps, scrutinizing the next tree. I jumped down behind her and nocked an arrow. She spun around.
"Stop, girl," her voice washed over me, like thick molasses. I froze. She smiled, her eyes glittering with malice. I shook my head, clearing my mind. I raised my weapon.
"Do I have another-" I was cut off as she used that sugar-filled voice again.
"Don't move." I saw movement behind her and I unfroze again.
"You're coming with us, Tanaka." Kate emerged from behind a tree, her spear leveled. The Asian girl swept her raven hair over her shoulder and stuck her lips out in a pout. I rolled my eyes and smiled at Kate. We marched Drew over to Kamaria, where she had Travis and Conner tied to a tree. When she saw Drew, she frowned.
"Oh, no, not her. She might charmspeak me or something." Kamaria whined. Drew smiled smugly.
"Wipe that smirk off yo face before I smack it off," Kamaria told Drew. Her expression beheld shock that such a teeny girl could be so tough. Suddenly, we heard shouting. Clarrisse held a royal blue flag above her head as she raced into friendly territory. Drew and the Stoll brothers groaned and went over to join the panting Athena team.

LINE BREAK

I collapsed on my bed in the Hermes cabin. Since I had gotten here, I had insisted that it be given a new paint job. And, for the first time in a few years, it seemed like, we mopped the floor and reorganized the furniture. I got my own corner in the room. A full-size bed, a Starry Night poster, and a window.
I hung my bow on a hook just above my bed and sighed. I changed into my usual Pj's, a tank top and sweats. My brother Kleft burst into the room with a giggling Karli. They both froze when they saw me in my bed. Kleft grinned at me and Karli turned tomato red. I smiled.
"Well, I wouldn't want to interrupt," I said and walked into the cool night. I walked over to the campfire, which had smoldered down to a few coals. I gazed at the fire for a few minutes, leaning my back up against the bench. After a while, I dozed off. As always for us demigods, I had a dream.

Zeus and Apollo were arguing in the throne room.
"I'm telling you, that's what I saw," Apollo told Zeus.
"Well, there is no way that that could happen! How can it?" Zeus retorted.
"You have to believe me. There is no other way." said Apollo. Zeus shook his head and muttered something about prophecy gods.

"Liz, Liz? Wake up," I heard a voice. I opened my eyes. Rachel (yes, the oracle) was shaking me. "Liz? It's 1:00 in the morning," I yawned and sat up.
"Oh, yeah, right," I stood. "Why are you out?" I asked her.
"Well, couldn't sleep," she replied. I nodded.
"I had a dream. Do you think you could figure out what it means?" I asked. I told her all I had seen and heard. She looked thoughtful.
"I've been having strange dreams, too. A prophecy is coming," she told me.
"Oh," I replied, "well, thanks for waking me up."
"Don't mention it," she said, "Oh, and if you have any other odd dreams, tell me, okay?"
"Sure." I smiled. "'Night."
"Good n-" she doubled over, clutching her stomach. Uh-oh.
"Rach?" I put my hand on her shoulder. She stood up straight. Her eyes were glowing green and she had a neon aura around her. She opened her mouth and a voice that sounded nothing like her came out.
"Ten demigods, five and five
shall help to save a hero's life
defeat the possessor and save the host
or each of the team will become but a ghost.
Each of the ten shall have their sign
one leader will be chosen to guide."

With that, Rachel collapsed onto the sand. The words whirled around in my head. Defeat the possessor? As far as I know, no one was being possessed. Ten demigods? Each will have their sign? I dunno. I crouched down beside Rachel as she started to stir.
"What the-" she asked.
"Prophecy," I answered. I told her the whole thing. She groaned.
"We gotta go tell Chiron," she said wearily. "Looks like we have ourselves a little quest."

Yes, I did make the prophecy up myself. You know you want to push the button! Deep down, you know you have the urge! \/ Yes, that one \
