A/N Hey guys! So . . . that last chapter's ending . . . I tried my best! I personally liked it, how about you? Let me know in the comments! Okay, on with the story!
I was at a dinner party. Surrounding me were beautiful people with strong voices and elegant outfits. Looking down, I saw myself in a fitted black dress, with dark pumps and nails. Looking around the room, I noticed all eyes were centered around me.
"Oh! Look who arrived!" Said one of the most BEAUTIFUL women I have ever seen. She had luxurious dark hair that wisped down her shoulders and striking blue eyes. She had on a simple white gown and sandles that made her look even MORE gorgeous.
"And, I knew it!" Said the same lady. "I KNEW black was your color!" I laughed softly, and bit my lip. "Uh . . . where am I?" I asked softly, loud enough for only a few could hear.
"That isn't important," said a woman with dark hair and piercing grey eyes like Annabeth's. "What is important right now is your quest."
I opened my mouth to speak, when she held up her hand. "Child, there are many things we need to explain to you. I am Athena, goddess of knowledge and battle stradegy." I nodded.
The beautiful woman from before showed off her pearl whites, "And I am Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and love." Go figure, I thought.
I nodded shyly, waiting for them to go on. "You were born on Mount Olympus," Athena said, smiling. "Your mother . . . was VERY smart." She said with a soft laugh.
I woke up wrapped in blankets and a pair of arms around me. Looking up, I saw . . . Leo keeping me warm. I immediatley blushed, and I was happy when he didn't let me go. The others, as well as Chiron and some other campers were surrounding me.
"How are you feeling?" I heard Hazel ask softly. I nodded, "I'm fine. I-I guess." I looked over and saw Annabeth studying the shield I had recieved earlier.
"I-It's Athena's sacred shield," Annabeth said, eyeing it closely like it was about to disapear. I realized that we were in the ping-pong room, and I was sitting on Leo's lap. That made me blush even MORE, if that's possible.
"So . . . that actually happened?" I asked quietly, and looked down to see I was still in that dress . . . "Yeah, welcome to Camp Half-blood Princess," Leo said with a smirk, and I rolled my eyes.
Chiron smiled, "Yes, you have been claimed." His look darkened, "The bad part . . . you, you weren't supposed to be found for decades."
Percy frowned, "Well, she's been found. What do we do?" Clarrise glared, "Isn't it obvious? We have to send her on the quest. The one Rachel was talking about."
"What the . . . ?" Is all I said, and then Annabeth recited:
The Gifted One must endure a quest
Where Fire and Water must unite
The dove and lightning must fight at best
The owl must bite the golden apple of oppurtunity
If unsucceeded, Olympus will become thy mess
All eyes fell on me, and I looked down. "Sarah Loving, do you accept the quest?" I frowned, "I don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing."
Annabeth frowned, "A quest to Olympus. Not sure for what, but-" I stopped her. "The monster we met in the woods, he told me to return to Olympus."
The room was silent. Finally, Jason gave in and sighed. "Well, we all know who's going. But, water . . . both Percy AND Sarah are going . . .?" Jackson sighed, and scratched his head. "I guess I'm sitting out on this one."
My spirits dropped. I really wanted Percy to be there for me . . . "There has to be some catch," Piper said, looking over at me.
I sighed, "I might know what you mean." Everyone looked at me, and I frowned. "What if we're supposed to split up? There are nine of us, and three are supposed to go on quests."
Piper frowned, "But what would the quests be for? To collect something or-"
"Maybe to balance power. Maybe we travel to Olympus together, then get the quest?" Annabeth says, but as soon as I open my mouth to speak, I get interupted by glass breaking screams coming from the camp.
Looking outside, I see the minotaur AGAIN, pounding on the invisible walls of the camp with its horns. And it looked ANGRY.
Percy pulled his sword, and without a word charged out. And for some reason, as I followed the others out with my bow, I felt that nice and warm fuzzy feeling. Maybe I actually do belong here?
