Hi! As you can see I am back with another chapter and I hope you enjoy it. I will try to make this chapter longer than the last one and I think I can. I am going to apologize in advance for all the characters; it will probably be a little confusing. Now let's get on with the story.

Zoë

I helped Rachel down from her cave and the whole time I was thinking about the prophecy I had just received.

You shall recue who was forsaken. At least that meant I was going to rescue Mom, at least I think it did. That's the only part I really understood.

Rachel kept giving me sympathetic looks, like she could tell I was thinking about something very unpleasant.

"You have to remember that prophecies have double meanings, some even have triple meanings" Rachel said. I am sure she was trying to comfort me, but I wasn't in the mood to listen.

We finally made it to the Big House where my dad and Chiron were waiting for me. When they saw my helping to support Rachel, they gave me a quizzical look.

"After she was done with the prophecy she hit her head, but she was sitting done" I said as an explanation.

Chiron nodded, and then said, "If it's all right with you I would like to call the head counselors of each cabin to hear your prophecy. I nodded silently, still deep in thought.

Dad led me to a room with a ping-pong table in it, which I presumed to be their meeting room. I think he could tell something was upsetting me, but he didn't ask me anything.

After about ten minutes one person from each cabin was present, plus my dad and Aunt Thalia, who had decided to join us at the last minute.

There were twenty to thirty people there; I didn't care enough to count. I didn't know any of them either. The youngest ones were probably about my age or older; the oldest were about seventeen or eighteen. I felt really out of place and uncomfortable.

When everybody was settled, Chiron addressed them. "Zoë's mother has been taken, and she has been granted a quest. She has just received a prophecy from Rachel" after saying that he looked at me expactantly.

"You shall rescue who was taken

And find one who was forsaken

You will bear a burden

Do it alone and become a veteran

The traitor is fake

Find out who it is or the world will break" I finished with a shaky voice. There was a deafening silence for a few minutes. The chaos broke out.

"What does it mean?"

"Who will go with her?"

"How can you possibly let such a young demigod go?"

Chiron stomped he hoof on the ground and the room immediately went silent. "She will go and pick her two companions" he said looking at everyone.

"I would be concerned about the traitor if I were you" a voice said, but I couldn't see its owner. Before another almost fight could break out, Chiron dismissed everybody.

When they were gone, except my aunt and father, he gave me my instructions. "You will choose two companions and will be leaving at noon tomorrow. Considering that it was about 11:00 p.m., I was okay with that.

After tossing and turning for the better part of two hours, I decided to take a walk. I put on my tennis shoes and opened the door to the Poseidon cabin. I slipped out as quietly as I could and began to walk.

I was entering the forest, which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do unarmed, but I wasn't really caring at the moment. I was walking when I noticed something weird. It looked like somebody was…sitting on top of Zeus's Fist. I walked over because it was extremely odd that somebody would be sitting there, much less in the middle of the night.

His back was facing me, but I could tell a boy was sitting there. He had wavy blonde hair and he was wearing pajamas with pictures of storms all over them. He turned his face toward me and he looked very tired. When he saw me standing there and watching him, he smiled faintly at me.

"What are doing up there" I asked him.

"I couldn't sleep" he said as he started to climb down. "What about you" he asked me.

"Same. I've had a really bad day" I said, but didn't elaborate.

"I'm Mathew" he says, sticking his hand out for me to shake.

"My name's Zoë" I tell him, and then I shake his hand.

"Who's your godly parent" he asked me. Instead of answering I just shake my head, not wanting to talk about it.

"Well mine is Zeus" he says proudly.

"Is that why you were up there" I ask him, but he just looks at me oddly.

We were sitting on one of the rocks when the nearest shadow started moving.

"What's that" I asked Mathew.

"What's what" he asked me. How could he not see the weird shadow moving?

The two people jumped out of the shadow and scared Mathew half to death. I was trying to stifle my laughter, but I wasn't trying too hard.

Then the two people stepped into the moonlight. One was a man. He had silky black hair and dark eyes. His skin was pale. The girl next to him was obviously his daughter. She had the same hair and skin and eyes. She looked about my age and appeared to be arguing with her father.

"Why can't he come with my dad" she s=asked her father.

"I told you Bianca, he's still too young to come to Camp Half-Blood" the father said in exasperation. Then the girl noticed Mathew and me.

"Looks like we popped in on a private discussion" the father said.

"Sorry about that" the said. "I'm Bianca and that my father" she said, nodding her head in his direction.

"I'm Zoë and-" I was interrupted by the dad.

"Wait, are your mom and dad Annabeth and Percy Jackson" he asked me suspiciously.

"Yes, but how did you know their names" I asked him.

"My name is Nico di Angelo, I knew your parents when they were kids" he told me. "Where are they" he asked me.

I wordlessly pointed in the direction of the Poseidon cabin where I had left my dad sleeping. He took off leaving his daughter with us.

"I'm sorry about my dad" Bianca said smiling sheepishly.

"It's okay, my dad is even crazier" I told her smiling.

"He brought me to Camp because I was attacked by a hellhound" she explained to us. "He made me leave my little brother behind, who is about nine years old. I'm twelve, almost thirteen."

"Same here" I told her.

"I'm just twelve" Mathew said and smiled. I just rolled my eyes at him. Together Bianca, Mathew, and I walked back to camp. The whole time we talked, but I kept laughing. Mathew was half asleep by this point and it was extremely amusing.

When we got back to camp Mathew went to his cabin and Bianca and I walked to my cabin where her dad probably was. When we got there I saw my dad and her dad talking outside the cabin. They stopped briefly to tell us to go ahead and sleep. I went into my cabin and Bianca almost followed me, but her dad told her to go sleep in the Hades cabin.

She didn't know where that was, so he walked her over to it. In the meantime I got dressed for bed. Within minutes I was sound asleep. It was a good thing I got my sleep because I had a long day ahead of myself.

I hoped you liked it! And I hope it was long enough! Please review and I will update more. I hope you like my new characters. I have big plans for them. I hope to be updating soon! Bye, and don't forget to review!
