Ethan stood off to the side of the pavilion and overlooked Camp life that went on as usual. Noticing all of his friends standing near the rock wall, Ethan tried walking towards them, but something was stopping him.
He observed as Chiron galloped towards Mr. D and whisper something in his ear. The once uncaring and bored look on the god's face turned to one of confusion and horror.
"Someone has breached the barrier!" He yelled. All the campers looked up at him in confusion, but Clarisse and Karl ran towards their cabin immediately. As demigods everywhere started to recognize what was happening, a scream was heard towards the direction of Rachel's cave, followed by the sound of hundreds of other screams that didn't sound remotely human.
Percy started racing towards the cave, but was stopped by a wall of fire.
A dark figure loomed over the entire camp, pointing a long, crooked finger at the campers.
"The Oracle of Delphi is dead!" He screamed.
Percy couldn't find a way through the fire and ran over to Annabeth, who was watching in horror as the Athena cabin burst into flames, with Alexandra and Chloe screaming inside. As soon as they made it close enough to pull the girls out the window, the cabin collapsed, and the screaming was silenced completely.
Chiron led Karl and all of Ares other children to battle against the dark figure. Their swords and arrows bounced off of it as if he hadn't been hit in the first place. Karl screamed as her body was picked up and thrown into the pitch black maw of the creature, her screams still being heard long after she had disappeared. The army she had just been fighting beside followed suit quickly.
The creatures face twisted to the side as a flash went off behind him. There stood the trembling figure of Joey.
"No, please..." She whimpered. "I won't be any problem... Please don't kill me!" The monsters face contorted into a wide grin as he advanced on the daughter of Aphrodite.
"Child," he said, "Your fate was sealed the moment you used your camera." Joey turned to run, but the creature's finger became unnaturally long, like a shadow, and wrapped around the retreating girls neck. She had made it a good distance away, standing three feet in front of Ethan. The creature whipped his hand back, and a snap was heard around the camp. Joey looked up into Ethan's eyes and held out her hand to him.
"H-help me-e," she whispered. Ethan tried to reach his hand out to her, but still found that he couldn't move. The creature gave another jerk and the daughter of Aphrodite's eyes seemed to stare off at something that no one else there could. Pulling his finger back like a rope and towing Joey up to him, the monster clutched the dead girl to him until she vanished into nothingness.
Ethan's face turned to the forest as he heard the pained howls of tree nymphs. The fire that was used to keep Percy away from Rachel's cave had spread to the forest and was burning both the trees and their mistresses alive. The last Ethan saw of the great oak was Charlotte climbing up it's branches to evade the flames.
The creature responsible for all of the destruction opened up it's vail, and instead of reaching for someone to pull in, someone walked out. Standing looking out at the fire and chaos was Lucas, his eyes glowing an eerie green color, and mist came out of his mouth while he bore the same smile as the creature.
"The oracle is dead." He said. "And so are the gods. The only hope that lies for the world of man lies in the hands of the betrayed."
His hands opened up and he pointed towards a group Hermes's children.
"The bad seed is in the most manipulative breed of all demigods."
One by one they were all engulfed by Greek Fire and fell to the ground writhing and screaming in agony. When Weasley fell victim to the flame, Ethan could see the fear in OJ's eyes as she tried to comfort her brother without burning her hands. She stood facing Lucas and the creature behind him.
"You're not Lucas!" She exclaimed. Both Not Lucas and the creature smiled, but flicked their fingers towards her and engulfed her in Greek Fire.
OJ fell to the ground screaming just like her previous brothers and sisters, but there was a difference. After a few seconds of screaming, Ethan was surprised to hear giggles overlap the screams. Those giggles soon turn to fits of mad laughter.
Ethan's was shocked to see the daughter of Hermes stand up, still laughing and on fire, and walk towards the creature. Her whole demeanor had changed, she seemed more dangerous than ever before. Not Lucas paid her no heed as she walked past him to the creature. He was more focused on the retreating figure of Scarlett, who's yells for help didn't last much longer.
OJ had the same eerie smile on her face as she stood in front of the creature. She gave it a crude bow, and looked up at it expectantly.
"What are you to me?" It asked. Her smile grew wider, showing a maw that held an assortment of sharp teeth that looked akin to a wolfs.
"I am the bad seed." The creature let out a shriek that was joined by other demigods that, like OJ, had stood up amidst the fire. Not Lucas, the shrieking demigods, and the monster disappeared out of the clearing. The only people left were Ethan and OJ.
OJ advanced towards Ethan, only stopping when their noses almost touched. The her teeth became normal again, her smile left her face, and she had a look of urgency in her face.
"Ethan," she whispered. "It's coming, and no one knows how to stop it. The oracle is failing, the gods are dying. There will be no more prophecies."
"No more prophecies..." Ethan reiterated.
"Yes!" OJ was becoming exasperated with him. "Remember this, because it's important.
Thirteen companions, thirteen friends,
an unnatural number will see the end.
One to live and one to die.
A soul for a soul, an eye for an eye."
"But way-" Ethan started, but was quickly stopped. OJ's face had started to contort back into the smile.
"Just remember!" she screamed. Then she too, like the creature, disappeared into the shadows. And Ethan was left alone. In the darkness of the camp ruins. Then he woke up.
...
Ethan walked to his group of friends, which at the moment only consisted of Lucas, Weasley, OJ, and Lexi.
"Hey." the four chorused. Ethan sat down next to Lucas, giving him an odd look.
"What...?" Lucas started. Everyone thought that Ethan was acting strange, well, stranger than usual.
Ethan looked at each of them slowly, "I had a dream. You were all in it." Lucas looked interested.
"What was it about?" Everyone looked at the son of Koaelmus expectantly.
"I don't know," he said. "I forgot."
EEEHHHHHHHHHH CLIFFIE! sort of... All of you are probably going to scream and bash your head into the wall (Psh.. That's not what I did...)
