P.S. i HATE disclaimers i need to make it more interesting

So Without further ado here is chapter 2

(Percy's P.O.V.)

When I woke up I was in a warm comfortable bed, I saw a woman beside me. I was in a dazed state. So when I saw her I thought she was my mum and that all of what had just happened had just been a dream and that when I got up it would be to my mum fussing over me and a warm plat of blue choc chip cookies.

I said "mum"

She jerked if she had just woken up when I spoke.

"Percy" she said hurriedly, It was then that I realised that it couldn't be my mum as her voice was softer and much younger though I couldn't place it. She jumped up and kissed my head before rushing out the room.

I closed my eyes as the sad memories of the previous night hit me; my mother's body in my arms, my step dads head on the floor and what my mother said about not being my mum. As I shook of these thoughts I sat up. I looked around and noticed that I was in a long wooden cabin with several beds. It was then that I realised that I was in the infirmary at camp blood. As I came to this conclusion a large group of people came in. At the head was a tall man with blond hair and a serious face. He came over and said "how are you Percy".

"Fine" I replied sharply, I then asked "why am I hear"

"Don't you remember" the man who I realised was Apollo said sounding concerned.

I looked at him and Sayed "My mother was killed" I looked down as shame filled me as I realised that if I had only managed to get there sooner I could have saved her. As I thought this a women rushed to my side.

she said softly "Shh, Percy it wasn't your fault you couldn't have stopped it". She touched my arm and I felt the same fire I had felt at my mum's apartment burst through me.

I said "Aunt Hestia"

"Yes, Dear" she replied

"Why" I said sadly, "Why did she have to die"

Pulling me into a tight hug she replied "It appears that Gaia made plains so that if you defeated her, then a bounty would be placed on the person that you loved the most", pausing to let me take in what she said, then continuing she said, if you had arrived earlier then it is likely that your companion would have died as well".

I looked at her in shock, I couldn't control myself, my eyes watered, the ocean around the camp started bubbling and I started to hyperventilate, but then I smelled something I knew all to well. Like the ocean breeze on the shore of Montauk, I turned around and saw my father standing there with a sad look upon his face. I got out of bed despite Apollo's futile attempts to stop me and his many complaints about how weak my present state was and ran I to my father and thrust my arms around him pulling him into a hug and placed my head on his chest. My father clearly shocked, smiled and started to pat my back. After a few minutes I pulled back and I looked around and saw who else was in the room, there was my girlfriend Annabeth looking relived that I was alright, behind her stood her mother Athena looking disapprovingly at me and my dad and tapping her foot impatiently. Beside her stood Apollo and his sister Artemis, looking conflicted as to what to think. Leaning upon the entrance to the room was my Ex-Girlfriend and the current oracle Rachel Elizabeth Dare and lastly I saw my mentor and the camps actives director Chiron in his wheelchair.

Apollo filled me in on what had happened whilst I was asleep and how the immense power and energy I had used whilst grieving almost killed me.

I asked Apollo if I could go for a walk outside, he agreed but on the condition that some of the other campers went with me. He then asked Chiron, my father, Athena, and Artemis to accompany him back to Olympus as they had important matters to discuss with the Olympian Council

As we walked around camp we saw an somewhat unusual sight, which in all honesty was the most unexpected and weird thing I have ever seen the Ares campers were running with looks of absolute terror on their faces (Clarisse still being in her P-J's) as we looked one of them tripped up and as he tried to rise he was knocked to the ground by an angry mob, all of who were wearing an odd assortment of pyjamas and armour waving swords, spears, axes and lots of other weapons around over there heads. One of the People from the mob split off from the rest and came across to us. Unlike the rest of the mob this one was in full battle armour and had war paint covering them. When the person was in front of us they took of their helmet. To my shook and confusion it was Piper, she happened to be one of the seven campers who went on the quest to stop Gaia from rising, she also happened to be the head councillor of the Aphrodite cabin. Looking back at the mob I suddenly realised who they must be.

"Wha, Who" I stammered confused.

"Stolls" Piper replied.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and said "Then why are they terrorising the Ares campers".

"Because" said Piper shaking her head "the stolls are nowhere to be found and the armour came from the Ares cabin".

At that second I heard a snickering coming from just behind us we turned to see two heads poking out from a bush from a bush.

One Sayed " Oh, Hey Percy" quietly.

"Conner" I said in a quite exasperated tone

At the mention of one of the Stoll brothers name all the Aphrodite campers locked up with blood thirsty looks on their faces.

I said to the Stolls "run"

The other Stoll, Travis replied "No Shit, Sherlock"

With that the Stolls started running towards the forest with the angry bunch of Aphrodite's kids behind them.

I said "well we won't be seeing them again for some time"

Piper said "there planning on giving them a full makeover" shuddering at the thought.

We heard a faint scream and looking around we saw Travis being dragged feet first by two Aphrodite campers towards there cabin and further away was Conner sitting in a tree as Aphrodite campers started to complain about how they couldn't follow him without damaging their nails. Piper walked casually over to them and Conner yelled "Thank the gods, Piper can you tell these lunatics over here to take a joke".

She looked at him and turning addressed the Aphrodite campers "ok guys be logical" a little glimmer of hope crossed Conner's face at least until Piper said "Don't try to climb the tree, wait for him to come down, setup some tents, he will have to come down for food eventually, we can be patient and we always get what we want.

With that she walked away, after she reached us the conch horn sounded, turning to back to the Aphrodite campers she said "oh and send some of our pictures to our mother".

Once more she began walking towards the dining pavilion, me and Annabeth, (who had only just got me of the ground where I had laying giggling), walked with her. Rachel was already sitting at the head table with Chiron and Mr D who had clearly just came back from the council meeting from the fact that he had falling asleep in his seat.

When we got there it was to an empty Aphrodite table, most of the Ares campers with lipstick and makeup still on their faces, we split up going to sit at our separate tables, Annabeth at Athena's, Piper at Aphrodite's, and me at Poseidon's. Naturally everybody's eyes followed me, when I sat down most of the campers went back to their discussions with each other. We were all about to get our food when Chiron stood up, I noticed Rachel sitting beside him and on his other side Mr D still asleep snoring heavily. Chiron called for us all to be silent as he said "most of you will have heard the unfortunate news concerning one of our numbers relatives, I would like for you all to know that we will not stop until we have tracked down everyone responsible" he stopped for a second, looking sadly at me before continuing "On a happier note the gods will all be visiting this week and you are all to be on your best behaviour, isn't that right Mr D"

Mr D waking slightly replied "yep, listen to the old goat" before going back to sleep. Behind me the campers started discussing about why the gods where coming, groaning sound came from the Apollo cabin as the realised that him coming would mean that they would have to listen to his terrible singing. Blinking in confusion or perhaps exasperation at the camps reaction to the news Chiron sat back down in his chair and gestured for us all to start eating.

It was then that it happened up at the head table Rachel began shaking, she started foaming at the mouth, her eyes becoming slits like that of a snake and becoming a solid dark, moss-like green. Mist billowed out of her mouth, surrounding her as she rose of the ground. And the Oracle Spoke,

"Fire shall sail the seas of stone,

And unravel their fates what is sown,

The goddess of heroes lost now found,

To seek out the Golden Hound,

Six must keep the sky at bay,

One makes their way to an endless day,

Daughter of the sea,

Child of Athena,

Barer of Isis

Wielder of Horus,

Disciple of the hunt,

Warrior of the dead"

And with that Rachel fell to the ground completely unconscious.

Ok that's it for chapter two, can anyone guess who the halfbloods going on the quest are
