Chapter 4:
Annabeth lead the 3 weirdo's she had found in the alley into an empty diner. She sat down on one side of the table both and waited for the others to sit across from her.
The blonde headed girl stared around the room. "This place is disgusting. "
"It's safe from monsters. Percy will be here in a minute. He's going to be so annoyed that I got to kill the monster. I was already 7 ahead of him." Annabeth explained. She didn't like the place any more than they did.
Sadie smiled. "I'm Sadie by the way. This is Walt and the mute monkey over here is Carter. Don't ask me why he's not talking I don't know."
Annabeth surveyed the boy Sadie had pointed out as Carter. He had darkened skin and bright brown eyes.
"My girlfriend just broke up with me." Carter said.
Sadie who had been sipping her water bottle spat water all over Annabeth. "WHAT!" she shouted and even Annabeth, who was use to Percy's shouting, winced.
"Zia? That Zia? Zia broke up with you?" a
And to Annabeth's surprize Sadie started laughing her head off. She was shocked. If someone laughed at her break up she would gut them with her knife.
"He's my brother and I told him from the start it wasn't going to work." Sadie choked out in-between laughs.
"Sadie. Come outside with me." The guy named Walt pulled her up.
Annabeth was left sitting with Carter.
"So..." Annabeth said just as Carter piped up "So who are you exactly?"
"I'm a daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom."
Carters face turned pale. "Athena as in Greek Mythology?"
"Yes. Look I know it's hard to believe but you'll get used to it. You'll find out who your godly parent is soon enough and the new can get you equipped with some weapons and why are you staring at me like that?"
"Sadie!" Carter called. "Sadie! Sadie! We have a BIG problem."
Annabeth was hurt. Most demigods reacted badly when they found out one of their parents was a god but she had never been called a BIG problem.
"Look. It's not that bad."
"Yes it is."
Sadie ran through the door. Carter jumped up and pulled Sadie hieroglyphic necklace from her neck.
"We Aren't Greek!"
"What do you mean?" Annabeth's head spun trying to figure everything out. She was a child of Athena. Everything could be figured out if you just thought rationally.
"We're Egyptian magicians..."
Annabeth felt her eyes widen. "NO. Not true. You're lying. There is no such thing! No. no. no. This is worse than I thought."
"You thought?"
"All of our demigod powers switched off. Percy can't control water and I can't think straight. We need to get you back to camp."
Annabeth grabbed her hat off the table and scribbled a message in the dust on the table.
"Percy! Meet me back at camp. URGENT. I TIHNK WE HAVE A QUEST! LUV Annabeth"
