Chapter XIV


Percy's POV

Girls' Dorm

AfternoonTest


Okay, so I was pacing back and forth. "I don't like this, Annabeth" I say with my hands fidgety. Curse this ADHD. Annabeth analysed me. She paused. "Maybe we're just being paranoid?" she asks which automatically stops my pacing and makes my jaw drop. The all-cautious Wise Girl thinks we're paranioid? . . . .okay, she has a good point.

"Only one way to find out about that, I guess" she says and I raised my eyebrows. "We IM Chiron" and I nodded.

Once I secured that no one could see what we were doing in the room- - wait,that sounded so wrong- - and Annabeth got the spray gun and drachma, I started pacing again.

She put a comforting hand on my shoulder, "Calm down, Seaweed brain" she says and I instantly relax. It also helped that her eyes became soft to comfort me. I stared at her eyes to find myself relaxed. When she's trying to intimidate you, it looks like a storm, when she's not . . . .

Her eyebrows scrunch. Cute. "What are you thinking about?"

That your gray eyes look as amazing as a pool of silver that makes me want to drown.

I SWEAR I HEARD A DISTANT SHRIEK THAT COULD'VE COME FROM OLYMPUS. IT SOUNDED LIKE 'EEEP'

And being the idiot and ADHD diagnosed teen that I was, I accidentally said my thought out loud when I thought I just thought it in my stupid malfunctioning head. (The eyes part, not the shriek. That would've certainly broken the moment. . . .which I'm not sure I wanted or not wanted to happen)

How did I know I stupidly said it out loud? Well, geez, it sure wasn't the fact that her eyes widened that gave it up.

And I blushed like the idiot I was and she kissed me. And I couldn't help myself. I deepen it and somehow, she made me weak on the knees so I sat on the bed without breaking the kiss.

"I secured the room so that no one could see what we were doing"

Oh great, thanks mind! Thanks for reminding me that embarrassing thought at this particular moment.

I broke the kiss and looked at her eyes again. Before I got myself drowned from her eyes, I said "Chiron" or more like breathed the name.

"Right" she says grinning and I blushed. Gods, am I that obvious?

OH WAIT. YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHY WE WERE PARANOID AND STUFF. I TOTALLY FORGOT TO EXPLAIN, I WONDER WHY?


Geez, Percy, it couldn't have been the fact that you were too busy kissing your girlfriend. Hahaha don't mind me, just the author here. Anyway, FLASHBACK:


So I told Annabeth about it. About Tus being too suspicious. And so, Annabeth, being the genius she was, had thought of a brilliant idea.

She whispered in my ear and I nodded.

So we started to try to find Tus.

I walked passed by him and just as I was passing by, I 'carelessly' dropped a pen that 'supposedly' made no sound.

Tus noticed and dropped down to get the pen, tap me in the shoulder, give it back to me, congratulate me, and had a polite conversation.

I walked back to Annabeth soon with her eyes wide.

You might wonder why talking to Tus would cause her eyes wide. Hopefully, it wasn't the fact that he was shirtless, I mean, I'm not gay, but I could see dozens of people ogling him by the bench a few feet away from the pool.

But, if I could take a guess, I'd say her eyes widen because he saw me.

And why would that be weird?

Because he wasn't supposed to see me. I was hiding in the Mist but he saw me anyways.


Travis' POV

MUSIC SECTION

AfternoonTest


After playing, the teacher instantly praised us. Well, we weren't as good as Kayla, but we did know how to play . . . something that Conner and I haven't done in a long while. I could tell he missed sitting on the piano.

Katie had her jaw dropped and I smirked at her. She rolled her eyes and gestured to Kayla. I didn't need any more encouragement than that. Unfortunately, Kayla asked how we learned to play . . . it was a touchy subject.

Kayla noticed right away and politely but not obviously changed the subject. That's why I like her. She told us the next time, we should prank Annabeth and Percy with music. Of course, Katie warned us not to, because Annabeth might accidentally kill us.

While Kayla agreed that she might accidentally kill us, she said that since she doesn't know Conner and I played while of course, no one would suspect Kayla being as she's a girl, then she won't have any idea who did the prank.

Connor thought that was ingenious. And I, being the slick person I am, used that as an excuse to supposedly wrap my arm over her shoulder to push her near me and high five her. "You, my dear friend, are indeed a genius" I say but not letting go my arm. I playfully wobbled us around talking about the prank.

That was the most blissful day I had in a long time. Conner then joined the arm by arm on Kayla's other side and Katie just shook her head but I could see a grin. This is another reason I like Kayla. She's actually behind lots of pranks at camp, but you never could catch her in the act, and you've got to love her sense of humor. She knows how to put a crowd of a mix of boys and girls out of awkwardness.

We realized that after we got out of the music section, we had no idea where we were going to go.

But then there was a beeping . . . I could hear it from my head, and I swear no one but us was hearing it. O-oh, Percy's calling us for a meeting.


Percy's POV

Girl's Dorm

AftTest


Okay, so we managed to get Chiron but he kind of looked in panic. We raised our eyebrows.

"Oh, nothing my child, it's just that one of the new campers had made a 'prank' and is currently being chased by Mr D, let's be quick before he turns the poor child into an animal"

And as if on cue "Get back here brat!" you probably know who said that.

I had a feeling though that it wasn't really the reason Chiron looks in panic. Annabeth let it slide so I just followed.

Nico appeared out of nowhere at exactly the same time.

"I need to IM Chi- - Oh" he says as he steps out of the shadows.

"Hello, my boy" Chiron says "So, what is it that you want to talk about, children?"

"Chiron . . . do you know who the founder of this school is?" Annabeth asked and Nico went to sit beside me on the bed.

"Er, yes, quite, quite. He was Japanese!" He says. "Oh, Annabeth, where are the others?" he tries to dodge the subject.

"Chiron, what do you know of the symbol of an eagle eye?" Nico says changing the topic again.

"It's probably Zeus's symbol" Annabeth says. "Are you sure?" Nico replies. "Mmm, can you describe it more?" Annabeth asks. And Nico didn't.

Instead, he raised up his hand and recreated the symbol with black something. Hey! I didn't know what it was. But never the less, the symbol was floating a top, the eagle eye surrounded by the lines.

"Wha, oh, er, yes quite," Chiron says. What? Annabeth raised an eyebrow. Chiron sighs.

"Yes, yes, fine. The founder of this school was indeed related to me, and so named the founder in appreciation to me, Kai Roun. He always did have a weird sense of humor. He was a mortal student" he says and I raise an eyebrow.

"What, seaweed brain, did you expect Chiron to only train demigods?"- Annabeth

"Yeah, remember, Jason's mortal"- Nico says which got me confused

"He's in Camp Jupiter" I say dumbly.

"The original one, seaweed brain!" Oh.

"Right, yes, a mortal hero. So yes right. The symbol, dear boy, is, as you can see, an eagle" he says

This time it was Nico's time to raise an eyebrow. What was Chiron holding back from us?

"Fine, I didn't expect you to discover this so soon upon your arrival." Chiron says and we looked at him expectantly.

"The founder of this school was a mortal. I had found him one day when he thought he was going crazy. You see, he had the sight. I trained him, thought him how to fight, thought him how to see and keep calm. We grew close. You see, he was quite rich. He was supposedly to inherit the lion's share of his father's will, but since he was, as the mortals say, insane, he wasn't really going to inherit it, but since his training with me, he was able to convince them that he was alright all along. So in the end he got his inheritance" Chiron finished.

"And what does that have to do with all of this?"- Annabeth

"Well, he kind of created this school for…" he says

"For?-Annabeth

"For mortals with the Sight" he lets out with a sigh.

"So you mean…" I try to say processing all of this.

"Yes, the mark that Nico saw, was actually the mark Kai Roun put on all of his students who had the Sight. An eagle's eye, what better sharpness of eye sight than that? Oh, and it works so that only people who can see through the mist can see that mark"

Nico gasps. Or semi gasps. Or just a simple intake of breath.

"That's why Aria reacted like that when she thought I saw the mark"

"They know you can see through the mist already?!" Chiron says with a bit of panic.

"Why is it a big deal? No, they don't know. I had an instinct so I followed it, they thought I was staring at a watch instead of a tattoo" Nico says.

"So that's what Tus was talking about the other night!" Annabeth says

"ha?" I asked her.

"You know, the moonlace, the pool, eavesdropping, our presence, ring any bells? Geez, seaweed brain"

"Ooooh" right. Oh.

"Are you sure they don't know you can see them yet?" Chiron says

"No, they're suspicious, but no. What's the big deal, Chiron?" I ask.

"Well . . . you see, these mortals with sight, well, they are briefed about Greece and their gods- - our gods- - which is why you'll see Greek Mythology in the other curriculum. And also, they are trained, as skilled as an ordinary demigod, which would explain the clubs like kendo, archery, fencing, etc. And . . . well," Chiron says.

He pauses.

"They don't know that demigods exist" he says.

Oh.

"And the gods prefer it that way"

Double oh.

"The only reason I used this school to put powerful demigods with powerful scent together is because if monsters come . . . well, the mortals have been fighting monsters in this school so that wouldn't be a problem. . ."

Triple oh.

"So, it is absolutely necessary that you must not be discovered as demigods. In fact, it's best that you must not be discovered that you can see through the mist at all"

Quadruple oh.

"The others! They're still taking the tests! They might tell someone about something that they're not supposed to see!" Annabeth says

"The test? As in for the other curriculum?" Chiron asks. I nodded to the question

"That's the time they test out the freshmen if they have Sight!" Chiron says. "Call them here!" Chiron says.

"How?" I ask

"Seaweed brain" Annabeth tells me comes over to me grabs my necklace and presses a button. THERE'S A BUTTON IN MY NECKLACE?

"What was that?" I ask.

"Emergency meeting signal" Annabeth says pointing at her camp half blood necklace that had the same button. I could hear a constant beep in my head

"It set up to call all demigods that's here in the school to go to whoever signalled the meeting. The necklace will put out some sort of beep that only demigods hear. So, anyone of us can call on a meeting as long as we have a necklace" Annabeth explains.

"And you did this to my necklace when . . .?" I ask.

"Some time ago, when you were distracted" and I blushed. Nico laughed and soon enough, everyone was here. Lacy, Mitchel, Travis, Connor, Clovis (he was sleepwalking. I swear), Katie, Kayla, and . . . . two other people that we don't know.

"Who are they?" I ask.

"Who are you?" the two of them asked.

"Don't tell me. . ." Annabeth says. She sighs.

"What?" I ask.

"You told me that the necklace is supposed to call all demigods in the school" Annabeth asks Chiron.

Chiron's eyes widened.

"I guess you found yourselves some new demigods" Chiron says.
