Prophecy of Chaos
The son of Poseidon shall weep in pain
While the Earth Mother stirs in her domain
Demigods shall stand but fall
And help the ones that seldom call
The son of Chaos is the key
He is the one you all need
This story belongs to AnnabethGranger7121993! I just took it on for fun and am modifying it! THIS STORY BELONGS TO HER! NOT ME!
Disclaimer- I don't own this story OR Percy Jackson. If I did, there would be WAY more to the series. And Percy would have a little sister.

I was pushed rather unexpectedly to my right. I turned to see the cause and saw Annabeth with a sword sticking out of her body near her heart. She took hold of the sword and pulled it out. Then as the pain came, just stared at it. She then looked up at me, and her eyes flooded with relief that I was okay, and crumpled to the ground. I lurched forward and caught her.
"ANNABETH!" Someone screamed. Coming out of the crowd, to my complete surprise, was Thalia. I laid Annabeth on the ground and knelt beside her, trying to stop the bleeding. But when Thalia knelt beside her, I stood up and backed away towards my troops, fighting the urge to fade into a vortex and return to Chaos's palace. I never should have come back.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Thalia screamed. "Don't die! Annabeth!" Tears ran down her cheeks, tears that I should be crying as well. She turned towards Apollo. "Apollo!" Thalia screamed. "Help! Please!"
Apollo looked grim as he said "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't save her in time."
"No." I whispered. "There has to be another way!" Thalia screamed.
"Thalia," Annabeth said weakly. "Tell him I'm sorry when I find him…"
Thalia shook her head and gripped Annabeth's hands tightly. "No!" She said firmly. "We're going to find him together and apologize together! We promised each other!"
Thalia turned towards me. "Please…" She whispered. "I can't loose my only friend."
I looked at Annabeth. Blood had already soaked her shirt and her face was pale from the strain and blood loss. Her eyes had lost that twinkle, and she laid there, as limp as a rag doll. Tears stung my eyes as I realized I still cared for her even after everything she caused me.
"Dude, use your magic," Nybass hissed in my ear. I jerked my head up, startled. I hadn't heard him walk up to my side.
I shook my head slowly. "I can't."
"She used to be your girlfriend! Go and help her, dumba$s!" Astrid growled. They could both see through my act- I was near tears.
"I could hurt her!" I hissed back.
"GO FUCKING HELP HER!" Nybass screamed, not bothering to be quiet anymore. Thalia looked at me, and her eyes pleaded with me, her voice begging. "Please, she's my friend."
I glared at Astrid and Nybass for getting my into this mess, then walked up to where Annabeth lay. I kneeled down and lifted up her shirt to inspect the wound. It was deep and blood was escaping through it quickly. I placed my hand on it, and Annabeth yelped in pain. I ignored her and imagined the wound was closing and healing on it's own. I felt my magic go to work, and vaguely heard Poison and Scar tell the campers to be quiet in they wanted Annabeth to survive the experience. After what seemed like seconds, I opened my eyes just as her wound completely closed. But Annabeth wasn't breathing anymore, and her eyes were glassy and unseeing. Thalia was the first to notice.
"ANNABETH!" She screamed again, and broke down in uncontrollable sobs. She crumpled to the ground and wailed, still gripping Annabeth's hands. I could hear sobs in the crowd behind me, and Athena hung her head in sorrow.
I looked at her body and closed her eyes. Her mouth was in a tiny smile, so she looked beautifully peaceful, even in death. I hung my head in defeat. Even when I tried, I couldn't save her. I didn't care that she had broken my heart- I still felt the soul wrenching sorrow, and it ached where my heart used to be. A single tear slipped out my eye and down my cheek. It quickly froze, and I brushed it off.
I looked at Annabeth, remembering all the good times we had together, all the times she called me funny names. Then, all of a sudden, she took one giant breath and her eyes shot open.
"She's alive!" I yelled, grinning from ear to ear. I had saved her after all!
Annabeth looked around with a confused look on her face, and she slowly started to sit up. Thalia hugged her so tight I thought she would run out of air. Astrid and Nybass gave each other high fives, and the others smiled at each other, happy that she didn't die.
Annabeth turned her grey eyes towards me, and I thought my heart would stop, then chastised myself mentally, remembering I didn't have a heart. "Thank you for saving my life." She said.
"A life for a life. My debt is repaid." I said, and out of habit, bowed to her. She looked surprised, then let out a squeak as her legs gave way and she fell towards me. I caught her, and both her hands were on my shoulder. I stared into her eyes and mentally screwed myself again for getting myself into this mess.
"Uh… let's go to your cabin," I said awkwardly. Annabeth nodded, blushing furiously. I lifted her up and soon I was carrying her in a very romantic way, which made both our faces become redder and redder as we avoided each other's , so she couldn't see mine. Now that I think about it, that's kinda weird. Just by touching her made me feel in love with her.
"No!" I mentally scolded myself. "No loving her!"
I soon arrived her cabin and realized the whole gang had followed me. Some other Athena kids ran up to me to help their sister, which left me standing there awkwardly as she disappeared inside. The gods had disappeared after they knew Annabeth was okay. Chiron and Mr.D- I mean Dionysos- went back to the Big House, and left the other campers to take care of Max. Personally, I wouldn't give a shit if he died. He deserves it.
My troops were sitting down on a small clearing about ten feet away from the Hades cabin. Nybass and Astrid glanced at me, and I nodded my head, giving them permission. They clapped their hands, then pressed them onto the ground, and a HUGE cabin appeared. Well, it looked like a shack, but on the inside, it was a mansion. They both had moderate power over creation, but when they put their abilities together, they could do the impossible.
They all went inside, and the boys all used their magic to create themselves their own rooms. Astrid had her own bathroom and bedroom, since she was the only girl. I was rooming with Nybass, and Luke- his Chaos name was Backbiter- was in the rec room with Beckendorf, whose Chaos name was Gears.
Poison was putting a fresh lollipop in his mouth, and his tail sweeped against the ground. Night was complaining to Poison to give him a sucker, and it would soon turn into full out war if someone didn't intervene. Thankfully, Astrid marched out of her room and clanged their heads together. "Come on, idiots." She said. "Go to your rooms and get ready to train." She met my eyes, and I nodded to her. She marched down the hallways, yelling "Training time! Get dressed and follow Frost!"
I rolled my eyes at her and disappeared into my room. I quickly slipped into traditional jeans and a light blue tank top. I ditched my cloak and put on my mardi gras themed mask, dark blue with snowflake decorations. During the summer, it was much better than my cloak. I looked at my reflection. Because of my new ability over ice instead of water, my hair had turned snow white, and I put light blue contacts to disguise my sea green eyes. I grabbed some hair gel and spiked up my hair, then looked at my reflection. I looked absolutely unrecognizable and badass.
I sighed when I realized I would have to face all my old friends, but pushed it aside in my mental trash can. I slipped on my combat boots and fastened Furosuto's sheathe to my waist, then walked outside into the hall and yelled "Meet me in the arena in ten. Bring your weapons and wear your guise!"
That being said, I walked outside of our 'Mansion shack' and towards the arena. I got many stares from girls, mainly the Aphrodite cabin. I heard them whisper to each other, but I ignored it. As I neared the arena, I saw Max beating up a dummy- or trying to. I chuckled to myself and summoned a block of ice that quickly formed into a bow and arrow in the blink of an eye. I drew it back, took aim right above Max's head, then released. The ice arrow soared through the air and missed Max by less than an inch, hitting the dummy square in the face instead. Max whipped around, sword in hand. His eyes narrowed when he recognized me. "What the hell? Are you trying to kill me?"
I walked right up to him with a bored look on my face. "If I wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be standing." I said darkly. "Get out of here, my troops are coming to train."
Max snorted and folded his arms. "I can stay here if I want to! You can't make me leave."
How pathetic is this? Didn't I already kick his ass?
I rolled my eyes. "Fine. Stay here and die from projectiles." I said.
Just then, I heard Curse's voice, and the rest of my battalion came into view. Astrid and Nybass were whispering to each other while Backbiter and Gears remained silent, glancing around the place, no doubt remembering the time when they lived here. Poison looked bored, and Night was muttering to himself. Scar seemed interested in his scythe and was sharpening it as he walked. I ran through training ideas in my mind- there was a lot of options at Camp Half-Blood. I allowed my bow to melt, and grabbed a sword from the pile near the middle of the arena and chucked it at Nybass, who caught it last minute. He looked surprised, then deadpanned when he realized what we were going to do.
"Can't I use my own?" He asked me. I shook my head and grinned. "Let's see what you can make of it. On your mark."
Nybass made no hesitation. He came at me blow after blow. I parried, dodged and sidestepped each. I took notice of his stance and when he would strike. He would always step with his right foot before he would attack. Nybass and I went on for minutes, and then he messed up, and I took the opportunity to disarm him. He fell to the ground, and I held his sword parallel to my arm and held out my sword so that is was a mere inch from his throat. I gave him a smug smile, and Nybass gave me a look that said "I'll get you back." I helped him to his feet and when I looked around, I saw a few demigods in the arena viewing the spectacle. Chiron was standing close to my other troops with Clarisse.
I felt my emotional wards kick in and addressed my troops. "You will do well to practice with demigods and each other. I expect victory." I said, fixing them with a stern look. They all brandished their weapons and started to fight, the clang of enchanted metal almost deafening. Chiron was looking at me thoughtfully. As I passed him by, I heard Clarisse say "He fights like Percy."
I froze for an instant, then regained my bearings and teleported inside the mansion shack. I couldn't keep fighting- they would soon realize who I was, and I was definitely not up to that.
I glanced at my alarm clock. 7:46 pm.
I sighed and flopped onto my bed, fingering my pen. The pen that I would never let anyone hold. The pen my father gave me.
Riptide.
The next day…
Annabeth
I woke up inside my cabin. I was, sadly, still in my blood soaked t-shirt and jean shorts. I quickly took them off and threw them into my 'point of no return' clothes basket. I changed into an orange camp tank top and light denim shorts. I shook my hair out of the ponytail and then ran a brush through it. Today, was hot, so I pulled my hair into a side braid and checked the wall clock. Mid afternoon.
I sighed and stepped outside my cabin and took a deep breath. The air smelled like pine trees and lake water. It reminded me of Thalia and Percy. I waved hello to a couple of campers as I strolled down the beach. Finally there was a break in the trees, and the sun hit my face. I strolled down a little farther, then stopped by a medium sized boulder and watched the waves go in and out.
"Hey." Someone said. I jumped and whipped my head around, then saw a boy with pure white hair and light blue eyes. I quickly recognized him as Frost. "Oh, hi." I said, and felt blood rise to my cheeks. By the gods, why was I blushing?!
He seemed to see that I was uncomfortable and said "I didn't mean to bother you. Should I go?"
"No!" I yelped. He looked surprised at my outburst, and I quickly regained my composure and said "No, it's okay. I kinda like your company..."
Frost gave me a small smile, and he sat down next to me, leaning against the rock.
"Do you like the beach?" He asked me, but made no move to get closer.
I smiled slightly. "Yeah."
Frost grinned. "I like it too, but I haven't been to one in years!"
This surprised me. "Do you not have a beach where you live?" I asked him.
Frost shook his head sadly. "Nah, I used to go to one all the time, but when I was recruited by Chaos I didn't have a lot of time to swim."
I felt a mischievous smile come to my face, and I stood up and took off my shirt, throwing it onto the rock, leaving me in a white bra and short shorts. Frost looked surprised that I stripped in front of him, but I just gave him a pointed look and said "I'm going in. Wanna come?"
Frost looked slightly panicked, and said "No thanks. You go on ahead."
I shook my head and gave him a teasing smile. "Man, don't you know how to have fun?"
Yay! I can now have a proper author's note!
So, do you guys like this story? I know the OC'S are confusing as hell, but bear with me! Next chapter I shall tell you what they look like.
Got any Chaos name suggestions for Luke? I don't really like Backbiter.
Submit your vote and I shall update soon after this chapter! Rewriting peoples work is SUPER hard.
