HEY GUYS! SORRY ABOUT THAT CLIFFHANGER. I KNOW IT'S A PROPHECY SO IT MUST BE WORSE...

ANNABETH POV

Green mist stopped pouring out of Rachel and she blinked a couple of times, and then rubbed her eyes. "What did I say?" she asked. Jason stood up.

"Six will go." he said.

"To the River of Woe." said Piper.

"One will lie." said Leo.

"One will die." I said.

"The quest will succeed." Hazel chimed.

"Only if he is allowed to lead." finished Frank. The room became deathly quiet. The fourth line hooked me. Who is going to die?

"Thank you Rachel. You may leave if you wish." said Chiron. She nodded and left the room. "Percy is in the infirmary. He'll be alright. Now, moving on to this prophecy." He stopped. Prophecies were always a big deal, especially in this one. It was basically confirmed that someone would die. Jason faced Chiron.

"Well we know that the River of Woe is the River Acheron in the Underworld." he said.

"Who will go?" asked Piper. "The prophecy said six, not seven. And there's eight, because of Calypso. And Leo, would you go?"

"If I have to." he shrugged. "Besides, nobody can best Flaming Valdez. Except for a few people maybe." replied Leo. Chiron cleared his throat and all of us looked at him.

"I suggest that Annabeth, Jason, Leo, Piper, Percy and Hazel go. Hazel knows the Underworld and Percy is the one who Hades wants. I don't like playing into his hands but I think Percy would want to go anyway. I do not like the fourth line of the prophecy. But there is no fighting a prophecy. Now, back to your cabins and have a good night's rest. We will discuss this in further detail tomorrow." Everyone shuffled off to their cabins. For some reason, this prophecy felt different. I knocked on my cabin door and Malcolm opened it. He didn't say anything. I quietly walked to my bunk and as soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.

I didn't dream of anything. I suppose in demigod terms; it was really nice. I woke up the next morning and changed clothes. Then I ran straight to the infirmary. I walked in and found Percy sitting up, and Will next to him, checking his blood pressure. I rushed over to him and hugged him. "Gods, Percy! You scared me half to death!" I exclaimed. I hugged him tighter. He welcomed the embrace and he put his arms around my neck.

"I-I'm sorry." said Percy, apologetically.

"Could you give us a minute?" I asked Will. He nodded and took off the arm band around Percy's arm. Then he left us. I held out the piece of paper that he had the night before. "Why did you meet Thalia last night? And why the Hades do you need Myrtweed?" Percy clutched the back of his neck, and looked down. "Percy. Tell me."

"Annabeth, I am so sorry. But I can't. It's part of my plan." replied Percy.

"So part of your plan involves keeping things from me, your girlfriend?"

"Wise Girl, you know that I would never keep something from you that concerned your wellbeing. But this is between me, Hades and Nico. It will all make sense, I hope." Percy stood up and gave me a peck on the cheek. "I'm going to go have a swim." But before Percy could get out the door, Chiron walked in, his tail swishing around.

"You're lucky I stopped you there. I need you and Annabeth in the Big House. There is much you need to hear, Percy." said Chiron. He left and me and Percy followed him. I gulped. Percy would be told about the prophecy. I gasped and remembered the third line. One will lie. Maybe Percy is who its referring to. And as Chiron said, you can't fight prophecies. We walked to Big House behind Chiron, who looked very agitated.

"Did I miss out on something?" asked Percy. I sighed.

"Only the next prophecy." I mumbled. Percy walked in front of me and stopped me.

"What?" he asked in disbelief. I looked at Chiron who stopped walking and faced us. He gave me a slight nod. Sometimes, I really didn't like my ability to recall everything.

"Six will go, to the River of Woe. One will lie. One will die. But the quest will succeed. Only if he is allowed to lead." I recited. Percy sunk down to the ground and covered his face with his hands. I sat down next to him and held his hand.

"There shouldn't have been another prophecy." he said. Chiron bent down.

"What do you mean?" asked Chiron, clearly interested.

"Because I already got one, from Apollo." said Percy. I looked at Chiron, and we exchanged silent looks.

"Percy, tell me what Apollo said." said Chiron gloomily. Percy looked down, trying to remember.

You shall travel alone

To death's home

Bargain with the god

On his sod

Your friend, he will send

But you will pay the price in the end

"Another prophecy? There's never been two interlocking prophecies before." muttered Chiron, and with that and trotted off to the library.

ANOTHER PROPHECY? HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER. MORE ARE COMING. I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHERE GROVER COMES IN, AND HE WILL, BUT NOT YET.
