Chapter 3 ~
ZOË POV
We were sent to camp halfblood after we rescuers those 2 children of Hades, the 3 campers and the satar. Artemis has told us to join them at camp whilst she hunts a powerful monster under Zeus'orders.
FLASHBACK
I stayed positioned in the trees, surrounded by my fellow hunters. In the clearing up a head we could see the fight starting. Thalia jabbing at the manticor with her spear whilst that pathetic son of Poseidon hid with the children of Hades. I lost sight of the other camper but I didn't dwell on that too much.
Artemis looked at me and gave a slight nod. I, being the lieutenant of the hunt, gave the signal to advance on the Manticore and with that, the hunters silently dropped to the ground, keeping in the shadows of the forest. I let the first arrow fly, strait into the shoulder of the beast. A chain reaction occurred, making the others let arrows fly and we moved out to secure the area.
I got another arrow ready and aimed it at the Manticores head, "Permission to kill, my lady?"
"This is not fair! Direct interference! It is against the Ancient Laws." anger was evident in the Manticores voice.
Artemis chuckled at the beasts comment. "Not so, the hunting of all wild beasts is within my sphere. And you, foul creature, are a wild beast. Zoë, permission granted"
The Manticore went to speak but was cut off by an arrow being shot into its neck. Whilst stumbling backwards, dozens of identical arrows sprouted from his chest, knocking him back off the cliff. A scream fill the air which confused me since it did not match the voice of the Manticore.
"What have you done!"
My head suddenly erupted in pain as one of the campers, Thalia the daughter of Zeus, sent a blow connecting with my jaw. I stumbled and fell to my knees as the son of Poseidon, Cameron I think his name was, restrained Thalia by grabbing her wrists. I looked into his eyes and saw pain and sorrow trapped in the sea green eyes.
That's when I realised what the scream was. The third camper was with the Manticore and with the Titan army...
END OF FLASHBACK
We were ordered, by Artemis, to go back to camp, after Bianca Di'Angelo joined the hunt, and once we were dropped of by Apollo we were greeted by a look confusion from all the campers. None know where the third camper from the quest is but I know they will be notified at their next meeting.
Just as these thoughts left my mind, Chiron galloped the the front of the crowd and announced a council meeting once the hunters have settled in.
I lead the hunters to the cabin of Artemis and on the way I saw a shimmer of gold fur in the forest surrounding the camp.
"Girls, you go ahead. I'm just going to... Talk to Chiron about capture the flag." it was obviously a lie but only Phoebe noticed. I sent her a look saying, I'll explain later.
With that, she nodded and lead the hunters to their cabin. That's when I went to the woods. I silently moved around in the tree tops, occasionally seeing I flash of gold which I would follow.
With a crack I found my self on the forest floor. Looking up I see the branch I was on now hanging by only a slightest bit of wood. I was confused as to why the branch broke until a man walked into my sight. Hercules slung his club over his shoulder.
" 'Bout time I found you. You hunters are quite hard to catch away from your little girl scout camp." he chuckled to himself for a bit.
He kicked me in the head, right in the temple, and I let out a scream. Another blow connected with my rib cage sending me flying a few feet, landing on my back.
"I warned you to stop spreading those rumors about me. I told you I would kill you if you did" He lifted his club and I felt myself losing consciousness when another figure tackled Hercules to the ground. Then I blacked out. Well not completely. I could hear the fight going on but my eyes stayed shut. After a few minutes there was silence and my eyes opened to see a figure crumbling to gold dust and the man who saved me holding Anaklusmos with half the blade covered in Ichor.
I was amazed. This man beat Hercules. I can tell he isn't a god but he radiates a sort of hidden power. It's like he has it but hasn't released its full potential. I stood up and walked over to where he is standing.
"He's gone to Tartarus. He'll be back though" I said breaking the silence.
"He said this was yours" the man said holding it out for theme to take. I grasped the hilt familiar blade and transformed it back into its hair pin form and slipped it into my hair. "What's your name?" the man asked out of curiosity.
My expression hardened as I remembered who I am. "That's non of you business, boy!" I snapped at him. Even though he just saved me, I cant treat him any differently. He just looked into my eyes and I looked back at his. I was amazed by the sight of his sea green eyes that seemed to have fire swirling around with the green. It's was truly a magnificent sight. Then he just shook his head, whiping his Raven black hair in the process, and walked away.
To be honest I regret not saying my name since he did just save me. Plus then I could have asked for his. But it's too late. He is gone.

THALIA POV
"five shall go west to the godess in chains
One shall be lost in the land without rain
A long lost friend will show the trail
Campers, hunters combined prevail
The huntress must repay a recent debt
For the son of the sea to lead this quest
Although fire runs through his vanes
it is this fire that breaks the chains
The Titans curse must one withstand
Or Olympus will fall to the young oceans hand" I had to repeat the prophecy because Zoë was still in shock. I guess I wouldnt be any better if the oracle, which is practically an ancient mummy, walked all the way across camp to give me a prophecy. But no, Zoë is the one with the quest.
Zoë was walking out of the camp woods when I saw her. She was covered in mud but I didn't care. I had to confront her about what happened with the Manticore. I started to make my way to her when I saw a figure shrouded in green mist. That's when she was given the prophecy. She was instantly lost in thought.
I was brought out of my own thoughts when Zoë finally spoke.
"I'm definately taking Phoebe with me. I might even take out newest recruit, Bianca Di'Angelo" she said slowly, obviously still shaken up by this.
"Well I say count me in" someone spoke up from across the ping pong table. All eyes turned to see Cameron with a smug look on his face.
"No way in Hades ill be going anywhere with you, boy!" Phoebe was the one to speak this time.
"Didn't you hear? 'son of the sea' last I checked I'm the only one of them around here. Anyway I'm the best fighter in this camp. You shouold be begging for my help" he flashed everyone a cocky grin but all this did was agrivate Phoebe even.
"You punk ass, little sh... " she didn't even get to finish before the rec room door bust open.
"Chiron! The boarders are under attack!"
"We will finish this later. Gear up and prepare to defend camp!" Chiron pretty much shouted at everyone at the council meeting. We all ran for the door. I hit my wristband where my shield appeared and pulled out my mace can already turning into its spear form. Then I headed for half blood hill.
PERCY POV
Hestia's words kept running through my head. A place where I belong? I don't know. But then again I never gave a place a chance.
Lost in thought I didn't notice my change of scenery or the hell hounds sneaking up on me. Well at least not until one clamped its jaw onto my shoulder.
"Go tell Chiron! Now!" a voice yelled from my left. I didn't look. I placed my hand on the hell hounds head and thought of fire. Instantly my hand started blazing and the hell hound howled in pain as its brain started to cook. The beast burst, showering me in gold dust. The others backed away, now being more cautious with me.
"kid! Quickly, throw me your sword!" I yelled across the clearing. Lucky he tossed it as soon as the words left my mouth because a hell hound was getting ready to leap at me. I caught the blade just as the beast jumped at me. That's when my ADHD took over.
I spun to the right and just sliced the oversized dogs head off as it passed me. Then in one fluid movement, I kicked anothers head to the side as I brought the blade down through the top of its skull. Was so focused on my recent kill that I didn't even notice others joining the battle around me. The hill was showered with arrows from both the Apollo cabin and the hunters and the other campers just started slashing at the beasts with their swords. In the corner of my eye I saw another hell hound jump at me. I jumped as high as I could, bringing my left arm back and swung my fist in a downward motion driving the hell hounds face into the ground. I rose my right foot and crushed its head underneath withing seconds of it hitting the ground. The strange thing was when my foot went through its skull, as soon as it came in contact with the ground, a violent earthquake shook the earth causing enemy to retreat in fear. The archers, without the fear of hitting the campers, released everything they have at the remaining few retreating monsters. An uproar was heard from the campers who were celebrating their recent win. Looks like I don't have to go to camp half blood because I'm already there.
Chiron galloped towards me with a questioning look showing on his face.
"Are you new? We're these monsters after you?" he asked genuinely worried.
"Yeah I'm new." I stated simply, not too sure what else to say.
"Well follow me to camp so we can talk" he headed towards the camp, "what's your name?" he asked.
I looked around and saw the same girl from the woods staring at me. I threw her a kind smile and turned to Chiron. "Perseus Jackson. But please just call me Percy."
His head snapped to me, a shocked expression showing and I soon started to get worried about his eyes popping out of their sockets. The I saw everything get washed in a sea green light which made everyone gasp. Chiron's gaze moved to just above my head and his eyes widened even more, which I didn't think would have been possible. Curiosity took control of my actions and made me look up. When I did I saw the fading image of Poseidon's Trident.
"Hail Perseus Jackson, son of the Sea God!"Chiron's voice boomed throughout the camp causing everyone to drop to a knee in a bow. Great... This is gonna be fun.
A/N that's chapter 3 out of the way. Still willing to accept ideas that you guys. Also if you have any questions, please just ask and I will answer them. If you read this then please review telling my what you feel about the first 3 chapters so far. I don't care if their negative comments because I can then see what I'm doing wrong and learn from it. One last thing, I'm thinking about making this a Percy x Zoë story as you have probably guessed. If you guys won't want that, tell my what you do want and I'll change my plans :) catch y'all later.
