Hey Guys – CrossoverQueen21 here! I was a bit sad that I didn't get any reviews for my last real chapter but I thought that I would upload this one anyway (just to perhaps get you into the story more!) but PLEASE review because this is my first fanfic and I just want to know what you think of my writing. Anyway, ENJOY (hopefully ….)
Disclaimer : I don't … *sniff* own Gallagher Girls or … *sniff* Percy Jackson – hmmmm oh well, I can still dream ey!
Chapter 2
Cammie POV
I woke up, when – I don't know because my internal clock had gone haywire. One of the medics found me awake and said that I could leave. As I left the infirmary again saw Zach waiting for me by the archery range.
"Hey Gallagher Girl," he called with that sickening (yet cute) smug plastered on his face. He walked up to me and draped an arm around my shoulders. "You OK?"
"I'm just a bit annoyed, is all." I answered, thinking about how close we were and how much we told each other. I thought about how I thought that I had almost cracked Zachary Goode – when in actual fact, it was all lies.
"What about?" Zach asked – WAIT WAS THAT A TRICK QUESTION!
"About how you didn't tell me about any of …. this – and what happened last night?" I said, my voice growing higher and louder by the word.
"Listen, one : I wanted to, I really did but I couldn't. Mortals can't know about all of this. Two : best not said and now, am I forgiven?" Zach pleaded.
"Not quite, but you will be if you just let me do one thing" I said and then I kicked him where it hurt. Zach fell to the ground in pain.
"You are now forgiven" I said, helping him up from the ground.
"Good" Goode said in a small and high pitched voice – I laughed because he sounded like a little girl.
"Yo Zach! You're going to miss training for capture the flag tonight if you don't come now!" We turned round to see a buff and supposedly tough girl running by.
"Sorry Clarrisse – not today, I'm taking my girlfriend Cammie out onto the lake!" Zach shouted back to 'Clarrisse'. Zach saw my worried face and quickly said,
"No, Cammie. Clarrisse is the head of the Ares cabin, I'm in there aswell. That make her my half-sister by the way. Makes sense doesn't it!" Zach replied, Clarrisse moved on.
Zach dragged me down to the docks on we were soon really far out on the lake in our boat and then for some reason Zach went into idiot mode and thought that it was a good time to spar. We had soon gathered a crowd back on shore (I was winning by the way!). You must be thinking 'wow, that can't be safe'. Well, it wasn't, so eventually I just pushed Zach into Zach into the lake. Everyone on shore erupted into laughter, so I turned to the crowd and bowed. Then I saw Zach appear before me and pull me in too! We swam to shore, and then stopped to catch our breath. Everyone suddenly paused. I looked up and saw a glowing, blue trident hovering above my head. The symbol of Poseidon.
"This is so un-chameleon-ish" I mumbled
Zach chuckled.
"Better get used to it, Gallagher Girl!"
Percy helped me move my stuff from the Hermes cabin into the Poseidon one. Whilst taking in my surroundings Chiron was stood outside of the cabin door.
"Can you go get Zach and meet me at the Big House, please." Chiron stated and with that, he left. I fetched Zach and we did as Chiron instructed and went to the Big House. We saw Chiron waiting for us outside of the Big House.
"You have some visitors." He opened the door to reveal a very angry Bex, along with Liz, Macey, Jonas and Grant. Zach stepped out of the way leaving everybody else to pounce on me. I was enwrapped in hugs until I managed to squeeze out a few words =
"Guys … can't … breath!"
They all let go, each chorusing 'sorry' or 'soz, cam'
All apart from Bex, who stayed away from me altogether.
"I am so sorry, guys. I was so caught up in all of the drama here that I sort of … um … forgot about you guys and how I got here." I said.
"We were so worried about you, Cammie. We were on a mission and you got separated from Bex and Grant and then your coms went dead – and you know that it is never a good sign when your coms go dead, Cammie." Liz bawled. I felt so bad for abandoning my friends and I went up to Liz and hugged her for ages – this then turned another group hug. Bex still kept her distance.
"I'll take you guys around the camp. So that Bex and Cam can talk …" said Zach, dragging the others away, leaving Bex and I standing with nothing to say. I finally broke the silence with an apology.
"Bex, I'm so sorry I don't know what happened – what did happen?" I suddenly realised that I didn't remember what had happened before I woke up in the infirmary yesterday. Bex seemed reluctant to tell me. "Please …"
"We were making our way across the country side for our cove-ops mission –
Third Person POV
[Flashback]
The girls and Grant were nearing there final destination and Camp Half-Bloods protective barrier (Although, they didn't know that). However, they did know that they were being chased – but not by what. They had been running from whatever for hours now, it was dark and the three got separated. Grant and Bex carried on, not knowing that Cammie had fell behind and had drifted off-course. Cammie heard a horn-like sound and tripped over some tree roots, smashing her coms in the process. Cammie hit her head really hard and was losing consciousness quickly, the last thing she felt before she was out for the count was the feeling of a sharp barb being shot into the back of her thigh and then paralysation. Bex and Grant reached their final destination and turned around, expecting to see Cammie. She wasn't there.
The first thing they did was try her on the coms – it was dead and just static.
"This can't be happening!" Bex screeched.
"We need go now, Bex" Grant said, not wanting to put either of them in danger.
The two waited to be picked up by Mr Soloman in his helicopter and sat in silence, fearing for Cammie's life. They had checked with Liz and Jonas for any sign of her – there was none. When they reached school everyone ran to Rachel Morgan's office. Zach seemed particularly tense. The rest of the group thought that it was probably because Cammie was his girlfriend but there was a sense of something else – almost as if he knew something more.
When they burst into the office, the headmistress was on the phone.
"…Yes, thank-you Chiron." Headmistress Morgan said into the receiver. As soon as she put down the phone, the gang wasted no time in telling Cammie's mother about her disappearance. Once they were done (and once Liz was in tears) everyone was asked to leave but Zach.
"Where were Bex and Grant when Cammie was cut off?" Rachel asked.
"They were nearing the barrier, ma'm" Being the spies in training they were, Bex, Grant, Macey, Jonas and Liz stayed outside of the office door and listened in on Zach's and Rachel's conversation.
"Anything else, Zach?"
"Yeah, she was being chased by a manticore." Zach answered.
That was all the others needed to hear. They set off to the library and looked up manticore.
"The manticore is a Persian legendary creature similar to the Egyptian sphinx. It has the body of a red lion, a human head with three rows of sharp teeth (like a shark), sometimes bat wings, and a trumpet-like voice. Other aspects of the creature vary from story to story. It may be horned, winged, or both. The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot poisonous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. It devours its prey whole and leaves no clothes, bones, or possessions of the prey behind." Liz read from a text book on Greek mytholigy. (A/N Seriously, I looked this stuff up – its really interesting actually!) The group looked at each other with worry for two reasons one : Zach was talking about fictional creatures to Headmistress Morgan. Therefore, he must be insane. Two : If Manticores do exist, Cammie is most likely dead.
Zach left the next day to who knows where. The others couldn't get anything from the Headmistress. They begged and begged until she had finally had enough and had them picked up by a limousine and taken to 'camp'. When they got there (wherever 'there' was) they dropped off their stuff and were told to wait in a large room. A man in a wheelchair entered and introduced himself as Chiron. He told everyone about how Gods have children and that Cammie and Zach and everyone at this camp are then left to go get Cammie, leaving us all in shock.
[End Flashback]
Cammie's POV
When Bex finished I was nearly in tears myself. I realised how much grief I had put them through I felt really bad. Chiron trotted in to much of Bex's surprise.
"He's a centaur, Bex." I whispered to her. She just nodded her head in shock.
"Girls, its time for capture the flag."
So, as I said before, PLEASE REVIEW! I sound desperate don't I … Well, I AM.
