DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN THESE CHARACTERS OR SETTINGS!
Chapter 4: The quest
"….Hiccup," Jack smirks. Hiccup looks shocked, and so am I. I face-palm myself, and think: Great, this will be the best quest yet.
The Aphrodite cabin breaks into sobs again, and The Khione cabin looks shocked. A girl with white hair and a blue dress looks angry*.
"B-but Chiron, The prophecy clearly says Children of Khione, and none of the people chosen are mother's children! This is so unfair!" The girl says, clenching her fists, and giving me and Hiccup an angry look. Oh, as if it was our fault! I glare daggers at Jack, who seems to not notice.
Chiron seems too busy stroking his beard, and staring off to the sky. Everyone starts talking, and gossiping about the quest…. And probably even me too. Anna gives me a comforting look, and I nod my thanks to her. It's getting so loud, and Chiron doesn't even bother to stomp his hooves down to keep everyone quiet. I've had enough of this.
"SHUT IT!" I stomp down my foot and shout.
Everyone stops talking, and all eyes are on me. I narrow my eyes and decide to speak.
"Look, I know that a bunch of people want to go on this quest, and I'm not a child of Khione, so I shouldn't be on this quest-"
"That's right you shouldn't be!" The girl interrupts me, and kind of pisses me off.
"-As I was saying, I'm not a child of Khione. But, I'm a descendent," I almost want to take it back. This was a little awkward -saying that you're related to a snow goddess when you're a daughter of the goddess of wisdom and war.
"Sure… and I guess that means I'm related to Hypnos," An Aphrodite kid- Aurora I recall, says sarcastically. Everyone looks like they agree with Aurora- except Anna, Jack, and Hiccup. Chiron strokes his beard, and finally decides to speak.
"It is true, Elsa Winters is a descendent of Khione," Once the words escape from his lips, everyone gasps, and everyone is silent.
"Elsa, Jack, Hiccup. Tomorrow morning, come to the Big House once you're ready," "Everyone, please go to your cabins," Chiron says heavily, and trots off to the Big House.
Jack gives me a smirk, and walks off to the Khione cabin. Hiccup leaves, and soon I'm the only one who's still at the campfire. I sigh, sit down on my seat, and deicide to give the rest of my mashed potatoes to my mom as an offering.
Mom, please tell me. Is this my fate? Is this my destiny?
"I might die; I might never come back," I say aloud.
"Well, let's see about that," Oh god, he should stop scaring me like that.
"What do you want?" I say coldly, without looking at him.
"Oh come on Winters, give a guy a chance!" Jack takes a seat beside me, and I flinch because of how cold the air is now.
"You know, its 100% chance we won't get back… right?" I ask.
Jack just shrugs, and stays silent. I heave out a sigh, and I suddenly realize his arm is around me, and I'm leaning against him. I try not to show my alarm and surprise, and try to keep a straight face. I gently, take off his arm, and see his hurt expression, but he quickly tries to hide it.
"So… You're a child of Khione?" I ask. He just nods.
"Why so quiet Frost? Frostbite got your tongue? Speak to me!" I throw a tiny snowball at him.
"I thought you hated me speaking! I thought you hated me!" He sounds confused.
"Well I did hate you, but that was on the first day of camp, and a few hours ago. The past is in the past right?" I have no idea why I've changed my mind about him. Maybe Anna is right, maybe he isn't so bad.
"Well, see you tomorrow morning… Snow Queen," Jack smirks, and jogs to the Khione cabin. I guess it is getting late, and tomorrow I needed to visit Chiron with Jack and Hiccup. I jogged off to the Athena cabin, and collapsed on my bed. That was a mistake. I had been told that demigods had visions and weird dreams almost all the time, and this was my first time.
I was standing on Half-blood hill, and Hiccup and Jack were standing back to back with me. Shadows were everywhere, and there was black sand swiftly covering up the ground. Horses made out of the same sand, were surrounding me; separating me from the others.
"Jack! Hiccup!" I cried out, but it was no use.
"It's no use! Fear will always be your enemy!" A booming voice suddenly screamed. A dark shadow appeared, and I was swallowed in darkness.
I woke up, panting, and managed to go back to sleep.
I'm updating again today, so stay tuned for the next chapter XD! Sorry this one took so long!
