Chapter 7: A Quest

After the prophecy was given, there was a long silence. I wondered if we were just going to leave the mummy there but then Chiron told Grover and Percy to take her to the attic. I was curious about why Chiron would ask them to do that but I let it go. Since I had found out that I was a demigod almost nothing would surprise me. He then told the senior counsellors to go to the Big House for a meeting to discuss the prophecy and he ordered the rest of us to go to our cabins. We went to our cabins and I waited anxiously for Travis and Connor to come back.

About half an hour later they came in and everyone looked at them expectantly.

"Well?" one boy asked impatiently, "What happened at the meeting?"

"There's going to be a quest." Connor told us, "Five people are going."

"Who are they?" I asked,

"Three Hunters named, Zoae, Phoebe and Bianca and-was

"Wait you mean my sister Bianca?" I demanded.

"Yes and Grover and Thalia are going too."

"What is the quest about?" I asked him.

"Artemis has been kidnapped." Travis said, "The Hunters already suspected that because Zoae had a nightmare about it."

"The prophecy said that two would die." someone pointed out.

"They're going to have to risk it." Travis said bleakly.

"But what about my sister?" I demanded angrily.

I felt worried and afraid for Bianca and I didn't care anymore that she had joined the Hunters because I just wanted her to be safe.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, Nico." said Connor reassuringly and I nodded. I had a bad feeling about this quest but there wasn't really anything that I could do about x... yet.

"We should go for dinner, now." Connor said quietly.

We followed him out of the door and towards the dining pavillion. I noticed that Percy hadn't turned up for dinner and Travis told me that he had wanted to go on the quest too but Zoae had refused and said that she wouldn't have Hunters travelling with boys. I asked him about Grover and he just said that Grover was a satyr not a boy. I couldn't help but laugh a little at that.

After dinner we talked for a while in our cabin and then we went to bed. I tossed and turned for a while worrying about Bianca but I finally fell asleep.
