~Questions and Confusion~
I sat like I was made of stone for at least thirty minutes. Soon, Hero punched my arm and I snapped back into reality. I shook my head and tried to choke out a few words. "W-what?" I asked them, looking to one person to the next.
"While you and Little Miss Swagger over there were in the Unknown Cabin, goofing off, someone-or something-took her! I mean, you didn't hear that scream? How couldn't you have heard her scream? Now, my best friend's gone somewhere, probably being tortured by the second! We have to go save her...We have to get a prophecy!" said Taylor, jumping from her seat and starting to run towards the cave were Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the camp's Oracle, lived.
"Taylor, stop! While we were in the Unknown Cabin, Hero told me a prophecy. I'm not sure were she heard it, but she told it. Now, Hero, will you tell the whole camp, so we can decide on the eight to go?" I asked. All the others were still made of rock-not literally. They stared at me like I was a traitor, which I felt one hundred percent like.
"Yeah, sure," said Hero, standing from her seat and walking to the stage like thing in front of all the tables. She stared around the tables, then picked up her courage. "ATTENTION! I have a prophecy to tell to Camp. It is MY prophecy, so I will pick the other Demigods who go-" started Hero.
"Who gives you the right to go on a quest!" roared someone from the Zeus table.
"YEAH! You're completely new here!" yelled an Aphrodite boy.
"We're giving it to someone else!" retorted a Poseidon kid.
"Even though I haven't been here long, I have experience," I heard Hero mutter angrily.
People looked like they wanted to protest, but the sight of a certain centaur made them stop dead in their tracks.
"It is Hero's quest, and the Fates decide that she should be the one to have it," said Chiron, galloping in. He stared into Hero's eyes and she stared back. It was like they made a mental agreement, then, in union, they both nodded.
Hero prepared herself. She cleared her throat and spoke in a voice so unlike her's, so much deeper.
Eight shall go on a quest,
One shall decide the fate of the rest.
A Journey to where the Sky meets the Earth,
And face a Titan ready for re-birth.
Hero nodded and took a deep breathe. "Now, me, Kenny, Chance, Mia, John, Taylor, Micah, and LiLi will be coming on the quest with me. Any questions?" asked Hero.
Mia's face lit up when she mentioned LiLi. She wasn't apart of our group, but still one of Chance and Mia's friends. The other people in our group became enraged having to save one of their friends with what they call an 'enemy'. Truly, I really liked Hero. She was a good friend, since I had actually gotten to know her. Not as stuck up and perfect as she looked. Now I'm going on the first quest in twenty years with her... awesomeness!
But still, my friends didn't like her because they haven't met the real her and now they're mad because they haven't. They're not mad because they're going on the quest, it's they're made to go on a quest with Hero. I didn't really understand what they had against her...
Okay, Chance just said because she gave him a 'Gotcha' number and Hero just punched him. Yeah, Hero came in about thirty minutes ago. Now you see how long it's taking me to write down something that's been done! Well, I'm having writer's block, but wait, this has already happened... I forgot what happens next... Wait, I remember!
All the tables muttered stuff around. I caught 'What?', 'A new girl gets a quest and we don't?', and 'Where does the Sky meet the Earth?' I tried to shake them off but it was hard not to just yell: "I DON'T KNOW!" I know none of these were directed to me, but it felt like it.
"You're eight... Hero, bring them to the Big House," said Chiron. Hero jumped from the stage and approached us, smiling crookedly. I was the only one smiling back.
"So, to the Big House!" she said, excited.
"We're going on no quest with you," snapped Chance.
"Guys, she's good. Take time to know the REAL her and you'll be fine," I assured them.
"So, she told you her real name?" snapped Mia.
"No... but-"
"She told you were the Hades she came from?" asked Taylor.
"Not yet but-"
"Then you don't know the REAL her!" snapped Micah.
"He knows enough about me! That's all I'll tell until my name's cleared and I can go back home!" snapped Hero, looking like she was about to eat us or something. The rest of us were sort of scared. We decided just to go to the Big House and see what Chiron wanted.
He and Mr. D sat in a chair, sipping Nectar. They saw us, put their glasses down, and turned to face us. "So, what have you called us here for?" Chance asked, taking one of the many chairs. We all followed him. The door opened yet again and LiLi, a daughter of Zeus, stepped in.
"We have called you here to tell you your quest. We have had many reports of a Titan rising were the Sky meets the Earth, which we believe to be Mount Othrys. It is on Mount Tamalpais in San Fransisco, if you didn't already know that. You must be very careful, for that is the gathering spot of monsters and Titans alike. We have reasons to believe there is something else there, but you will not ponder with that. You will go to Othrys and defeat this Titan..." began Chiron.
"And save Briana? That's my priority of this quest. After we save her, we'll battle this Titan," said Taylor.
"No, destroy the Titan, restore our balance of peace, THEN save your friend," said Chiron. Taylor mumbled and crossed her arms over her chest. Chiron leaped from his wheelchair. "Better start packing. You leave tomorrow after Capture the Flag and Chariot Races," he said, ushering us out of the door.
How'd you like it? Too rushed? Not fast enough? Well, I'll only know if you REVIEW!
