Chapter 6

Madison's POV

I was on my way to James' cabin to tell him sorry for yelling at him, but then I saw Jessica going towards there too. I froze. When she went in, I ran to the window. What are they talking about? I saw them talk for about two minutes then she kissed him, that was the second kiss I've seen them share. Then, they hugged and she left. I hid behind a bush next to his cabin. I went back to his window, he was smiling?! I lowered my head as he looked in my direction. I looked back up and he was sleeping. And to think I came over here to apologize. I stood up and walked to the Aphrodite cabin. When I went in everyone was asking me what happened, even Shawn. I waved them off and went to my bed. I went to sleep ignoring all the stares from my siblings.

________________________________________________________________________

I woke up the next morning with Nico shaking me up. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around noticing we were the only ones here. I thought two campers weren't suppose to be alone in a cabin.

"Get ready, James is going to see Rachel." Nico said in a soothing voice. It made me want to sleep again.

"I don't care. I'm tired I need to sleep" I said and laying back down. And putting my covers over my head. I heard Nico sigh loudly.

"Get up or I'll make you" He said sitting down on my bed.

"No you won't" I said in a sing-song voice.

"Oh, yes I will" He said mocking my tone.

Then he did something unexpected. He picked me up bridal style! I started thrashing, but he wasn't even affected by my hits.

"Are you going to stay awake?" He said teasingly.

I groaned, "Why do I have to go?" I whined. "It's not my…thing" I added.

He put me down gently, and warily. Then, he looked at me straight in the eyes. "You just have to." He said and did something else that surprised me. He put his hand on my cheek and kissed me. Then left leaving me there staring after him. Well that woke me up.

I changed quickly into pink sweats and a pink long-sleeve shirt, along with dark pink Uggs. I put my hair into a ponytail went to the Big House. When I got there I blushed when I saw Nico. I saw Annabeth look between us, I mouthed 'I'll tell you later' to her and she nodded. I sat down next to Nico and waved to James, he nodded and turned his attention to a red head. She was about sixteen, blue eyes, her hair was short, and she was looking at her feet nervously.

"Uh, Hi" She said. I smiled and said hi.

"This girl here is Rachel. The oracle." Chiron said. I put on my famous "Shocked" face.

I leaned over to Nico. "Is he serious?" I whispered to him.

He smiled, "She was made the oracle last year." He whispered back.

"I thought they were supposed to be old and mummy-like." I said quietly.

"What if you were the oracle and someone said that about you?" he asked.

I thought for a moment, "I-" I realized everyone was staring at me and Nico, though James was kind of annoyed. "Sorry" I mumbled. I saw Nico holding back a laugh, so I elbowed him.

"Ow" he muttered. I smirked.

"As I was saying, she might not respond right away just give her some time" Chiron said. We all nodded. "I will call you all when something happens." he added and we nodded again.

We all stared at him, it was kind of funny. He put his hand over his face. "You can go now." He said.

We all practically ran outside. Percy and Annabeth ran off the arena, James went to the Athena cabin, no doubt to go to Jessica, and Nico and I, like idiots, decided to go rock climb.

"I don't want to go" I said as he dragged me to the rocky wall. "It's winter!" I yelled.

"There's no snow or wind here, it'll be fine." He said, still dragging me along.

"But, I didn't even get my Christmas gift! Today is a bad day for rock climbing! Who starts the day after Christmas without opening presents?!" I yelled.

He picked me up bridal style and turned around. I learned not to thrash when he was carrying me because he might drop me, and because I can't hurt him. "Where are going?" I asked.

"To get your gift from your siblings" he said. I beamed at him and we were in front of the Aphrodite cabin in under 10 seconds. He set me down and knocked on the door. Bailey opened.

"Hey, Nico" she said and looked at me. "Hi, Madison!" she said more cheerfully.

Before I could respond, Nico did. "She's been complaining about her gift?" he said in an annoyed voice.

Bailey smiled wildly. "Oh! We almost forgot!" She yelled. "Wait here!" she said and closed the door. Two minutes later Cassidy opened the door with all the other girls. I guess the guys felt intimidated by me. She was holding a pink box with a purple bow.

"Sorry we got it the day after Christmas." She said and handed me the box.

I opened it and I was instantly amazed. It was a sword, a beautiful one. The handle was purple, my favorite color, and had heart carvings on it. The top part(I don't know the name of it) was pink and glowing. It was dazzling.

"It's celestial bronze. We just dyed it with special dye that mixed with the celestial part and doesn't ruin the effect from it." Cassidy said.

I grinned and hugged each of my sisters. I noticed the boys in their beds watching. "Thank you too" I said to them, they smiled, even Shawn. I turned back to Cassidy, "Thanks so much!" I said.

"There's something else in there." She said.

I looked down at the box. Sure enough there was something else. How didn't I notice it before? It was a bow and arrow. It was pink, too. The tip of the arrow had a small heart on it.

"When you shoot it at someone, they fall in love with who ever you want the person to fall with. If you want the person to hate someone, a black arrow appears. You shoot the person with that one and whoever you shoot at hate whoever you want them to hate. But, a Aphrodite children rarely uses it seeing we're all for love. And if you want to undo anything, just snap your fingers." She explained. That is insanely awesome!

I hugged them again. "Thanks so much!" I said. Then Cassidy looked at Nico.

"You can take her now." She said rolling her eyes, Nico glared at her then pulled me away. I mouthed 'Thank you' and turned to Nico.

"This is so cool!" I yelled.

He rolled his eyes, "Just don't use that freaky love thing on me alright?" He said.

"Sure I won't" I said sarcastically.

"I mean it!" he said sternly.

"Alright, alright. I swear." I said.

"Good" he replied.

I waved my sword around and pretended to stab someone, I kept doing this till Nico looked at me in a stop-or-I'll-use-the-sword-on-you way. I stopped then faked tiredness.

"Oh, I am so tired! My legs are just killing me!" I said and dropped to the ground.

"I dear what should I do?" Nico said in mockery. And continued walking.

"Oh, gods I'm dieing!" I yelled and laid down in the snow in snow and pretended to be dead.

"Oh no! She's dead! What shall I do?" he yelled. "I know!" he added.

I didn't hear anything, just some shuffling. I opened one eye to see him about to throw a snowball at me. I yelled and got up. I glared at him as he laughed. Then I smirked and he stopped laughing.

"Wait! What are y-" he was cut of by a snowball hitting his face. He wiped it off only to receive another one. I laughed loudly as he wiped it off.

Next thing I know we're having a full on snowball fight. I got hit in the face at least twenty times because my snowballs weren't staying in ball form. My hair was soaked because the snow had melted on it. i managed to get a few at his face.. We been snowballing for a good thirty minutes, since I had a long sleeved shirt only. I shivered as I got up. Nico walked over to me.

"Wow I'm cold" I said, my teeth chattering a little.

Nico put a worried face on. "Come lets go somewhere warm." He said put her arm around me. He was rubbing my shoulders to get me warmer. He is so sweet! I think I really do like him…

"Somewhere warm would be good." I said through chattering teeth.

He looked at me confused, "Why aren't you even wearing a jacket?" he asked.

"Because you rushed me this morning!" I yelled

He looked down. "Here" He said. And get this, he gave me his coat! By now I was ready to faint.

"Thanks" I said and looked at him. I turned his head to me and kissed him, and thankfully he returned the kiss. We stayed like that for a moment. Kissing, me wearing his coat, my arms around his neck, and snow lightly started coming down. Such a romantic moment!

I pulled away. My cheeks burned, and he ran his hand through his hair embarrassed. "I think we should go in now, I'm still cold" I said. He nodded and led me to the arena.

Oh, I defiantly like him. A lot. Then, suddenly i was warm again. Nico felt it too because he put me down and looked around. His eyes landed on the arena. He ran toward it, pulling me with him.

James' POV

After Chiron's speech I headed outside and walked to Athena's cabin. I really like Jessica, and I'm not going to spoil that because of someone who doesn't even like me. I knocked and Jessica opened the door. She looked down.

"Hi James" she said. I smiled at her.

"Can we talk?" I asked her. She nodded

I led her down to the bench where I kissed her the first time. I saw Nico and Madison as I walked there, but didn't say anything. W sat on the bench and she looked at me expectantly.

"I really like you, and I'm not just saying that." I started. She looked down at the snow.

"I really like you too, but Madi-"

"I realized that she's like my best friend. Since I met you, that feeling between me and her went away." I said quietly.

She looked at me with her eyebrows together. "You mean it?" she asked.

"Yes I mean it." I said. She smiled and hugged me. I hugged her back. I pulled away after a moment, "Does this mean you forgive me for yesterday night?" I asked.

She laughed, "Of course." she said and kissed me.

We parted a few seconds later and decided to practice with my new sword. She was my sparring partner. We went to the arena, but stopped at our cabins to get our swords. When we got to the Arena, Percy and Annabeth were there. We went to the other side and let them practice.

She was good of course, her mom is goddess of wisdom and war. I was good too, for a beginner. A few more thrust and she knocked away my sword and won.

"That was quick" she comment. And stuck her tongue out at me.

I rolled my eyes. "Rematch?" I asked.

She smirked, "Why so I could beat you again?" she teased.

I sighed loudly. "Forget it, I know that you'll win." I said

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you realize the real master?" I challenged

I looked at her, and lifted my sword. "Okay then, rematch." I said and we started sparring.

Thrust after thrust I kept getting hotter. But, for some reason I wasn't sweating. I kept getting hot until I couldn't stand and suddenly I let it out and a wave of heat passed through me and, with the look on everyone's face, I guess they felt it too. They stopped fighting and looked around. I looked at Jessica, she was looking at herself with a shocked face. Then looked at me.

"Uh, was that you?" She whispered.

I nodded at swallowed hard. Then I felt something, like a need to go to the oracle. I looked Jessica. "The oracle." I said and she nodded. I turned to Percy and Annabeth, who were still fighting. "Guys! The oracle!" I yelled. They stopped and we all ran out the arena.

We bumped into Nico and Madison. Nico muttered 'Ow' , I stood up quickly. "The oracle." I told them and all six of us ran to the big house.

The ran in and Chiron was waiting for us. He nodded and I nodded back. Rachel was sitting on a stool and her eyes were glowing green. She opened her mouth and green mist left it. She started talking in a raspy voice,

"The six shall travel to the island of the Titans,

Destruction, by all, shall be frightened.

One shall be lost to the other side,

But is willing to hide.

Hestia's son shall regain control.

And destruction might remain a dead soul."

Rachel dropped and Chiron helped her up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at us, her face was surprised.

"Okay, bunch of people staring me. Totally not awkward." She said.

"You just gave the prophecy Rachel." Percy said.

Her eyes widened. "Well, what was is it?" She asked, and Annabeth told her.

"She said it, why doesn't she remember it?" I whispered to Jessica.

"She blacks out when she tells a prophecy, so she doesn't remember anything." she said and I nodded.

Then Chiron started talking, "This is obliviously James' quest. Do you choose to accept it?" He asked, I nodded. "Good. She mentions six people. Your one, so pick the other five." he said.

I looked around. "Jessica, Madison, Annabeth, Percy, and Nico." I said simply.

Everyone smiled at me, Jessica squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. Chiron looked around. "Do you all choose to accept the quest?" He repeated, this time gesturing to everyone else. They nodded eagerly. "Excellent, Now to figure out as much as we can about the prophecy." He said.
