The 39 Clues

Heres my story. Hope you like it:    Im a normal 11 year old girl. At least thats what I tell myself. ADHD doesn't help much.  But, anyway, how about I start with the day I almost died.
So far, my day had been pretty good. I was one of the better students, even with my problems. The teachers knew me, so they knew how to teach me. As for home, I had a mom and dad with two sisters and dog. My life was, well, perfect. I had love, food and and roof over my head. So, I never thought anything could completely mess me up. Wrong.

It started when I was walking home from school. My neighbors live behinds too, so I have to walk through their yard to get to mine. I hated doing that though. Everytime I do, a shiver goes down my back like someone has their eyes glued to me. A creepy feeling of being watched slithers through my mind. Nothing happened ever though. At least until that day.

I heard a crunch. Walking faster, I convinced myself that it was just my imagination. "RAWR!!!!!!" A scream/ growl stopped me dead in my tracks, sending an electric shock down my spine.

The monster behind me was a manish-bull. Waist down, bull. Waist up, ugly, hairy man. The first thought that entered my mind: Wow. He needs a razor.

After I realized he was probably going to kill me,  I tried, but failed, to muster up the courage to run, scream, anything. Dropping my bag, I forced my legs to sprint towards my nearby house. "OW!" I collasped in pain, as I feel searing pain down the back of my shin. Looking up, I realized that the monster had made a grab for me, but only managed to cut at least three layers deep. Now, for a person who thinks papercuts hurt, I was in some serious pain. The clawed hand reached out again, and manganed to grabbed me around my waist, crushing my ribs. My screams of protest were muffled, and I soon lost conscience.





I seriously hope you like it. Plz reply back, if you want more. THX!

Ok, since you guya are awesome enough to put us on our fourth page, I'm adding on to the story. YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



While Alia was googly-eyed at some kid in the doorway, I stood up, pushing the chair backwards. I was getting angry. No more secrets, that was what I wanted. "Chiron, you two won't even tell me who the heck I am, and now Alia has a brother and.. and a boyfriend?!" I said, pointing at Alia. Her head snapped toward me and she spoke icily to me. "He is not my boyfriend. We're just..friends." The last word came out ina choke. i rolled my eyes. "Ya, I'm supposed to believe that. I'm going to my cabin. It's been a long day." My feet pounded against the hollow wooden floors.
  Once I was outside, I went toward the large buildings, that i suspected to be the cabins. One was expecally large, and i decided that it would be my temporary house. Whoever lived here would have to deal with it. I stepped inside and a tall, creepy statue of a man with a lightning bolt stared down at me with his marble eyes. The scariest part? He looked just like that guy from the arena. the one who called himself my dad. I shivered and walked toward the back of the room, where the statue's eyes couldn't bore into me. "Oh, hi there!" a cheery voice made me jump sky high. Turning aroung, I clutched my chest where my heart is, as if I was having a heart attack. The girl behind me had dirty blond hair, and hazel eyes. "You must be the one Cea-cea told me about." All I could do was nod. Who knew recovering took so long? "Well, this is the Zeus cabin. Your new home." This time, I actually spole. "No, this isn't my home. My home is on Sugar Lane. Not here." The girl regarded me with a sad smile. "I thought that too, hon. I thought that too." For a minute it looked like she was actually sad, but then she became happy again. "I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Kelly. You are.. Anna, right? Of course you are. Everyone is talking about you." Everyone? I thought. What did I do to deserve to get attention. I just got here! I was lost in thought while Rebecca show'd me my bed. 

Hon? I sound like an old women! Did I say that I can fly? 'Cause I can! I usually suprise people when I'm in the air in a room! It's HILARIOUS!

Name:Abigail 
Age:12
Writing: suspenseful and a little mysterious
Story (it's kind of long): "This is it" I thought as the hell hounds got closer. They were going to kill me and my best friend, Will. " nice knowing you", said Will. " ditto", I responded. We wouldn't stand a chance, but that didnt mean we wouldn't try to kill every last one of these monsters. Will was amazing with a sword, and I could use a knife for throwing and hand to hand combat with equal skill. And yes, your probably going to ask me what on earth a hell hound is. Imagine a black wolf. Now enlarge that image to the size of a school bus, with rows of razor sharp teeth. Pretty scary, right? Now imagine forty of them. You should never face them unless you had proper Demigod training, but never  two against forty, unless you have had that training for years at camp half-blood. Well, both me and Will have never had proper training or been to camp half- blood. This is what we call  trouble. We were able to kill half of them, which still wasn't enough to give us a good advantage. Then Will was tackled by one of them. " Abigail!", he shouted i startedi to run towards him, but was blocked by another monster. I screamed in fury and killed it in a flash, but three of them surrounded me and one pounced on me and everything went black. The last thing I remember is the sound of metal crashing and a girl shouting something about a camp. When I woke up, it took me a few seconds to remember what happened, then I sprang up and looked around wildly, expecting to see a group of hell hounds, but what I really saw was the exact opposite . I was in what was obviously an infirmary of sorts. I was sitting on a bed with soft white sheets. I had heeling cuts all up my arms from the fight, and I winced when I touched them. Then I noticed Will in the corner of the room and I grinned. He smiled back. "where are we?", I asked, still slightly confused. "camp half-blood", said a girls voice from behind me. I whirled around and reached into my pocket. I grabbed out Andrade sword and pointed it at the girl, glared at her warily. She was tall and athletic looking, with curly blond hair and stormy gray eyes, and she looked about sixteen years old, and she looked at me, puzzled. "calm down abby", said Will. "she's like us". "so we're those two kids from Massachusetts", I said "and that didn't stop them from trying to stick a knife in your back". Will winced. " I mean", he amended, "she's here to help us". " did you say camp half-blood", I asked the girl, " the place the escapies from Massachusetts were talking about?they said this place was worse then hell".  "we're they two boys, about thirteen, average hight, both of them blonde?" asked the girl. I nodded. " those two boys we're spies for Gaea. If we let them stay, it could endanger other campers. My name is Annabeth by the way."I stared at the girl in shock. " I know this is a lot to take in at once, but your a h-",she started, but I interrupted her. "I'm a half blood",I said," my mom was a goddess from Olympus,and all the Greek myths are real, and the gods live on mount Olympus,on the six hundredth floor of the empire state building", I finished. Now it was her turn to look shocked." h- how did you know that?!",asked Annabeth. "my dad taught me about it and gave me celestial bronze weapons and taught me how to use them. When I was eleven he was killed by a pack of hell hound", my voice faltered, but I continued, " I ran away and met Will in the woods, and taught him everything I knew. Then we were attacked by hell hounds and somehow ended up here. How did we get here anyway?", I asked. "that explains why you both have half blood weapons. I was sent to get you and arrived just in time. Then I flew you here in a flying chariot",said Annabeth. " oh", I said. "well,now that your awake, I'll show you around."   The camp was amazing. It had all the training courses a demigod could need. Annabeth had just finished showing us the last one when a conch horn blew in the distance. "shoot!",said Annabeth. "I'll show you to your cabin so you can go to dinner. Follow me". We followed her to a worn down cabin. It was the most like a normal cabin out of all of the cabins in the entire camp grounds. Inside were a bunch of kids, so many in fact, that there was barely enough room for everyone. They all turned and looked at me and Will. " determined?", one one of them asked. " nope",said Annabeth, but they will be soon enough". " whatever", said the guy. " Hermes cabin, lets go!", he shouted to the rest of the kids. Annabeth left to go to dinner with her own cabin. We filed out and towards a mess hall. Then our group sat down at one of the tables. We got food, then put some into a fire for the gods. Then,we feasted. The food was amazing, and since I had lived in the woods for three years, it tasted even better. Then we went to the camp fire to roster marshmallows and sing greek campfire songs, played by the Apollo cabin on lyres and guitars. The firewas bright yellow and fifteen feet tall. I noticed some other kids who looked new, but I didn't pay them much attention. Then, suddenly everyone gasped and starred at me and Will. I was confuse, then I realized they weren't staring at us, but just above our heads. Will and I looked up and gasped. On top of my had there was a huge owl, and I almost shrieked in shock, but I held it in. On top of Wills head there was a golden lyre with a sun engraved at the bottom of it. " hail Abigail, daughter of Athena, goddess of wisdom. Hail Will, son of Apollo, god of the sun, music and poetry. ", said Chiron, the centaur and camp director.       It was a week after Will and  I had been claimed, and I felt like I finally fit in. I was with a cabin full of geniuses, which was perfectly fine, but I was almost the only one who wasn't badly dyslexic; well,in reading. My dyslexia only appeared in my spelling,which was horrible. But I was glad I could read normally, because I love reading.  But I was ADHD just like everyone else. Will fit in well to. I liked music more then him but only by a little. He picked up lyre and guitar playing so fast it was almost unbelievable. We both loved our training and cabins. The camp was like a demigod heaven. I excelled at knife,sword and spear fighting, and Will was amazing at archery, and training was fun. But I felt like something strange was going on with me. I felt like I was split in two. I had all the traits a daughter of Athena had, except for I looked nothing like one, I was really good with mechanics, and I had a strange resistance to heat. I had made fast friends with Annabeth, and I told her about it. "there's something about you that I cant get my mind around",said Annabeth. " what?" I asked her. "the fact that your dad, who was mortal, had demigod training and supplies,like the weapons and drachma", she said, referring on that last part to the gold coins I found when  I ran away. " what was your dads name?",she asked. "Peter Anderson", I replied. " why do you ask?", I asked. " we have to go see Chiron", said Annabeth,ignoring my question. I followed her to the Big House, where Chiron lived. We found him on the porch, playing a game of cards with Mr.D. Annabeth walked up to him and asked if we could speak to him privately. He quickly got up and led us into one of the rooms. " what is it that you would like to speak to me about?", he asked. Annabeth took a deep breath. "we were wondering if there happened to be a camper a while ago named Peter Anderson", asked Annabeth. I finally understood. She thought my dad was a half blood. But that was impossible. I would have known. Then Chiron said something that made me pale considerably. " of course. He was a son of Hephestus ; one of the best blacksmiths and sword fighter I had ever seen. Why?"  Chiron asked. Annabeth slowly turned and stared at me. I stood frozen in shock. My dad was a demigod!  Chiron stared from me to Annabeth and back. Then it must of dawned on him. " you don't mean......", he stared at me . My head was in jumbles. Then I realized: if anyone found out, I would never fit in again. They wouldn't know what cabin to put me in, what table I should sit at, anything. My face contorted as different emotions passed over my face. Then I turned and ran. I had finally fit in, and i probably never would again. And then I realized: I was seventy-five percent god. I wondered what difference it would make on me, and my demigod powers. There was really only one thing I was sure about was that I wouldn't let anyone find out. But that would be hard. I was good with the camp forges, I looked more like a child of Hephestus then a child of Athena. But no one could know. I didn't know what would happen, but I had a feeling it would make life complicated. The only person I would tell would be Will. He was my best friend, and I could trust him to keep silent. If things went wrong and people found out, I would leave camp. I didn't want to, I was safe here, I could train here, but I would have to leave. I wouldn't be accepted.    A few days after I found out, Chiron announced that we would play capture the flag in seven days time. Everyone was exited, and so were Will and I.  It would be our first game ever at camp,  and everyone said it was the funnest game ever.  I was so exited that thanks to my ADHD, the next seven days felt like seven years. But, finally, it was time for the game. Annabeth and some  other older campers from my cabin had been planing strategy and making alliances and calculations since the game had been announced, so our team was well prepared. We had made temporary alliances with the Hephestus, Applolo, and Hermes cabins. I was relieved that I would be fighting with Will and my dads cabins. Chiron made the nesisary  announcements and reminding us of the rules and boundaries, we grabbed our armor and weapons, and the games began. I asked what position i would be in. She told me I would be on offense. I looked around for a spot to enter from. I flamed around and didn't see any red plumed helmets. I ran across to the other side. I was wearing runners armor that I had made myself in the camp forges. That meant that it was thinner metal, everything was made to make absolutely no sound and it was much lighter the n normal armor. Thankfully, I had made it properly so it made no sound, so I made it over without alerting anyone. I had climbed a lot of trees while I was living on the run, so I shimmied up one and climbed as close as I could to the branch or the tree next to me and covered the short distance by jumping. I landed wrong, so I almost fell of the branch,  but I caught myself before I did. I made a loud scuttling sound when I landed, so I stood still, expecting someone to come, and they did, but I was concealed in  the branches of the tree, so they gave up looking and passed me off as a bird. They weren't stupid though. They had someone guard from the ground just in case. Now I was stuck. I stood there for a while, wondering weather I should stay here or move, when I had an idea. I slowly climbed down the tree and snuck up behind the guard while taking out one of my knives. Then I gripped my camp half loos shirt with my free hand and, while I was approaching the guard (a kid from the Demeter cabin) I quietly cut off an inch of my shirt, all the way around my shorts (the shirt was to long anyway) and cut the circle of froth into. Along strip. Then I quietly stood behind and, fast as lightning, I raped the cloth around his mouth. The split second it took him to realize what was happening was enough for me to tie it tightly around his mouth, to tight for him to untie, cutting off the shout he was about to voice. He turned around and tried to cut the gag off of his mouth, but I booked his hand with my knife and quickly disarmed him. Then I kicked him away and took off through the woods. I had hit him in the stomach, so it took him a while to collect his breath, and by then, I was gone. I tore through the woods. Then I scaled a tree again and kept moving, jumping from tree to tree. And then I saw it. There was the flag, blood red, with a bout head in the center. And, guarding it, were two of the biggest Ares kids I had ever seen. Now I was really stuck. I could take one of them, and two at different times, but never together. Once I took care of one of them, I would get pulverized by the other one. I was about to go back and tell some more people where the flag was and then come back with them, when I saw two Hephestus kids making their way to the Ares guards. They were spotted,which was bad for them, but it provided a distraction, which was good for me. The  kid started attacking the other kids,and I took my chance. Quickly and quietly, I darted down, grabbed the flag and was back in the trees, jumping my way back before anyone noticed I had been there. I was a fourth of the way back, when I herd a scream of anger and shock, coming from behind me, and I knew they  realized the flag was gone. I was going as fast as I could now, trying desperately to reach my side. I was fast, but I had the disadvantage of moving in trees, and the Ares kids were running on land, driven by anger and humiliation. they were gaining fast, and i was tiering down now, but I could see the border now, and that gave me the strength to continue. I was In the tree right in front of the border, I was on a low branch, and I was really exited, so I did what must have been one of the stupidest things I had ever done. I was twenty feet off the ground, and I jumped down onto my side. A horrible pain shot up my leg from my ankle, and my head exploded in pain. I screamed and blacked out, but not before I herd cheers from my teem and Chiron blow a horn, ending the game. And then everything went black.   I woke up in the infirmary. Again. I had my leg in a bandage (i had broken it, but it had been healed while i was unconscious) and a second one around my head. I wondered why I was there and then I remembered: I was stupid enough to jump out of a tree in full battle armor while holding a flag and a knife. It was a miracle I hadn't accidentally stabbed myself when I jumped. At least my team had won. I was cheered up at that thought, and stood up. The world started spinning and my head started throbbing. I must have gotten concussion or something. I sighed and sat back down on the bed, when I noticed a glass filled with nectar, the drink of the gods, sitting on my bedside table. I drank it and instantly felt better. I got up and walked out of the infirmary and to my cabin. When I entered, I was greeted by the sound of cheers. I had won for our team, and I was from their cabin, so we got special privileges. Annabeth congratulated me and asked me if I felt ok. I answered that I felt fine. "good", she said. "you got a nasty knock on the head"." ok guys, we have archery practice now, so let's go". We went through our activities as usual, and I did well in most of them, but I was to small and light to be any good at wrestling,and I had to skip climbing the rock wall because of my leg. The day was hot, and we had just finished sword practice, so my cabin hit the showers. Then we got to do what we wanted to until dinner, so i went to the forges. I fixed my armor from the game, because it had gotten all banged up when I landed on the ground after I jumped out of the tree. That meant that not only did I have to fix it, but I had to make it stronger, so it would be tougher. It took a while, so I was still working when Chiron called us in for dinner. We had pizza, and it was delicious, as usual. Then we went and roasted marshmallows and sang campfire songs led by the Apollo cabin. Afterward, I was so tiered that I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow. I was happy, and I wished my life could stay like this. Obviously , my luck wasn't that good. I didn't know it then, but I would be leaving very soon. But for now, I was happy. My last thought before I fell asleep was that the only thing that could make this better would be if my dad was here, but that was impossible.

@Junior Dancing, LOL!!!! I was hesitating, wondering if I should make you say that, but... it was that or sweetie!!!!!!! And ya, I'll add in tht you can fly soon.

“Thanks a lot Zach, just leave me alone and NEVER come back or I’ll literally explode. You might be Ares kid but it doesn’t mean I’m scared of you. You betrayed me, you’re a traitor to me,” I yelled at him while starting to run into a wake of demigods.
 I ran to the lake.
It seemed like I was crying forever when I heard the conch horn signaling it was time to go to mess hall. “Get it together, Alia. He’s just a betraying jerk that only cares about himself.”
 I started running to mess hall when I saw Michael staring at me in the woods with a javelin in his hand.   

Anna soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 
GOOD NO GREAT!!!
Cea-Cea

CONTINUE!

After I got my anger under control, I decided to talk to Alia about the vague quest. As I was walking past the woods, I saw Alia staring straight into the forest, completely unaware of whatever else was going on around her. I stepped foward, planning on getting her out of her trance, when she suddenly shook her head, looked around, and snuck into the dark forest. My leg shook, just like it did whenever I had to make a decision. After a few precious seconds of weighing the pro's and con's of either following her or getting Nico, I forced my cowardly legs into the woods. I was used to being quiet, so not stepping on twigs was easy. Not worrying about what else was hiding behind these trees? Now that is a different story. But I kept moving, keeping Alia in my sight. She eventually stopped crunching through the woods, obviously not caring about being loud or anything, and spoke to the person who seemed to of materialized next to a tree. "Michael." I swear her words dripped icicles. "Leave us. Leave Camp. You'll only hurt yourself." The boy, Michael, smirked. "Please. Who's going to hurt me? Are you willing to kill your own brother? Some peaceful nymph you turned to be." He rolled his eyes. "I am no longer a nymph. Water is not my home. Camp Half-Blood is. They are more of a family than you were ever. You're just jealous because Mother liked me best, since I turned out to be what she always wanted. You were a mistake. Father never wanted you." Michael swollowed, clearly taken back by what Alia said, but quickly regained his composure. "Ouch, Sis. You really know how to throw a punch. Zach teach you that?" There was that name again. Zach. Who was he? Who was Alia and her supposably brother? What was happening? Words swirled around in my mind. Nymph. Alia. Zach, Boyfriend, Michael. It was all to much to take in. I put a stopper on my mind, and listened to the conversation. "-fight me?" Michael was saying.  Alia chuckled, biut it was forced. Something told me she was afraid. "You could never beat me. And you know that." "Oh yeah, pretty one? If you won't join me, then I'll force you. I'm with your brother now." Michael beamed as another figure stepped out. I reconized it as Zach, son of Ares. This can't be good. He came so close to Alia, that she had to lean back so her face didn't collide with his. "Join us. Join the New Kings. My brothers." Alia looked down, comtemplating what he had just said. "Brohers?" She breathed. "You mean.... No. It can't be Phobes and Deminos. It can't." Phobes. The word slithered through my mind like a snake. He was the name from my dream so long ago. Michael laughed. "Think again. They are back and our masters. And soon they will be yours to." he stepped foward and grabbed Alia's arm so tight that she winced in pain. I had had enough. I stepped out from the shadows and yelled, "Wait!"


SOOOOOO sorry for the clif hanger, but HW time! BYE!

Really good Anna you and Jackie work great together =-)

Cea-Cea

P.S. Write some more soon please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, i was going to wait for Jackie to do the next part...but im so excited that I cant wait. Writing is just to much fun!!!!! And if you love my story, I entered a writing contest, and I would love if you checked it out and voted for me when its time to vote. Heres the link and thx! messageboard/show/17418


I swallowed. Honestly, I think my brain kicked my head for being so stupid. How was I supposed to fight the godly sons of the war god? Now I understood that 78 in English last year. I blinked hard, mentally running through the options I could use to get Alia and myself out of this. "Let go of her!" I commanded. I hope that it didn't sound as weak as I thought. Micheal laughed evily, causing Alia to twitch. "'Let go of her!'" He mimiced. "Please. Like that's going to work. Phobes, Deminos, would you like to do the honors of showing our guest what real fear is like?" Alia gasped. Her eyes flickered between me and Micheal. "Of course. That's my favorite thing to do." Phobes cracked his neck. How will I get out of here alive? I thought madly. Then I got an idea. Quickly, I slapped my bracelet, named Aegis, and it grew out into full size, Medusa's head in the middle. I saw Deminos flinch, and Phobes stepped back. "And that's not all. See, being Zeus's daughter gives me some... extra powers." I willed a few air current to form under my feet. They did as I asked, and I silently ordered for them to do the same with Alia. As she was lifted, her face broke into a grin, and i floated over to her. "Let's get out of here and get on that quest." Alia nodded and she and I zoomed out of there.
  Lets just say being the daughter of the sky god has it's ups and downs.   

AWESOME!!! Plz do more I really love your story!

What a trainer I am! My trainee had to save ME! I thought.
“I only have one question, are you literally water tree nymph?” Anna asked.
 Am I? “I don’t know, in my blood yes, but I don’t want to count myself as a tree nymph. Poseidon and I made a deal that I don’t have to have water as my home but I would still be a nymph. I was sent to camp after we made the deal final. That’s when I met Zach who I thought was nice until I found out he was cheating with this girl named Deborah, daughter of Aphrodite. Everything went down hill after that,” I explained.
 “That’s why you sort of freaked out when you saw him?”  
“Yeah, please just don’t tell anyone that though because the only people who know are you, Michael, Zach, Nico, Chiron, and myself.”   

Anna can you check the story page, I have a suggestion.
Jacqueline

cool thx. MCAS? Trust me, in 6th grade, its just as bad. Possibly worse :/ If you live in MA. like me, then you have it too, but how was yours? (Chill, Mods. I didnt give away any certain city :) )

JACKIE'S Back! Are you feeling better? Oh good! Great part! LOVE the story!

Cea-Cea

For me in GA we have to do the CRCT. Our teachers freak out over the CRCT, they act like were going to fail it which I know for a face we aren't.  In 4th grade we have to learn about the revoulution. goverment, ecosystems, water cycle, sound, light, the whole package.
Jacqueline

Aye-aye! I posted something too. Have you read the Hunger Games? I saw the movie. ITS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool idea, i posted stuff on it too. Heres the whole story. (Sorry if it takes up 2 pages :/)
Anna:     I’m a normal 11 year old girl. At least that’s what I tell myself. ADHD doesn't help much.  But, anyway, how about I start with the day I almost died.
So far, my day had been pretty good. I was one of the better students, even with my problems. The teachers knew me, so they knew how to teach me. As for home, I had a mom and dad with two sisters and dog. My life was, well, perfect. I had love, food and roof over my head. So, I never thought anything could completely mess me up. Wrong.

It started when I was walking home from school. My neighbors live behind too, so I have to walk through their yard to get to mine. I hated doing that though. Every time I do, a shiver goes down my back like someone has their eyes glued to me. A creepy feeling of being watched slithers through my mind. Nothing happened ever though. At least until that day.

I heard a crunch. Walking faster, I convinced myself that it was just my imagination. "RAWR!!!!!!" A scream/ growl stopped me dead in my tracks, sending an electric shock down my spine.

The monster behind me was a mannish-bull. Waist down, bull. Waist up, ugly, hairy man. The first thought that entered my mind: Wow. He needs a razor.

After I realized he was probably going to kill me, I tried, but failed, to muster up the courage to run, scream, anything. Dropping my bag, I forced my legs to sprint towards my nearby house. "OW!" I collapsed in pain, as I feel searing pain down the back of my shin. Looking up, I realized that the monster had made a grab for me, but only managed to cut at least three layers deep. Now, for a person who thinks paper cuts hurt, I was in some serious pain. The clawed hand reached out again, and managed to grab me around my waist, crushing my ribs. My screams of protest were muffled, and I soon lost consciousness. I awoke in a cabin much larger than an average house. I tried to sit up, but my head felt like hammers had taken revenge. "Where- Where am I?" My voice sounded raspy, and my throat burned. I was about to yell hello! but a hand flew over my mouth and a voice hissed, "Shh!"

 "MMM!!!!!!" I struggled to protest through a soft, but firm, hand. "Please. Be quiet. Nobody knows you're here yet, and I'd like to keep it that way." A kind voice said, coming from right behind me. Judging by the pitch, the speaker was a girl, maybe around 15, making her four years older than me. I tried to say, "Who are you? Why not?", but it came out more like, "Mm a you? Mmm unt?" For an answer, the hand lifted.

 Quickly, I twisted my body so I could see the person behind me. A girl with luscious brown hair stared at me with hazel eyes, filled with concern.. and fear? She stammered, "I'm not going to h-hurt you. B-but we are not safe. We came across you in front of my mom's house. When he comes back, all of us will go to the camp and only there will we be safe. Okay?"

 Pretty much all I got out of that was that there was another person. A boy. I decided I'd find that out later. Instead I asked the simple question. "So, where am I? The last thing I remember is... is-" My memory was cut short by a knock on the door. I was right. Mystery-man was a boy. Judging by the young look in his eyes, and his height, I guessed he was around 13. Only two years older than me. His shaggy black hair covered most of his chocolate brown eyes. He tucked his hands uncomfortably into his aviator jacket. "Nico. Is the path clear? We should leave A.S.A.P. sadly, she doesn't seem to get we have all formed a- a... friendship." My 'friend' struggled with the last word.

    Uncomfortable, I turned away. "Okay. Tell me right now. Who are you, and why are we here? I want to go home to my parents and family!" I tried not to think of the night when my mom had sent me away, telling me to find the teacher. Whatever that means? Nico asked curiously and a little wistfully. After I was healed enough to walk, the girl took me on a walk, to survey the area for.... don't call me crazy, but monsters. "Um, I don't believe I know your name." I said. "Alia." she answered. "Yours?" I sighed. "Annabelle. But call me Anna... unless you like fists in your face." I said solemnly. Her expression told me she actually that I was serious. I laughed for real, the first time in months since... since... I couldn't even think about it. My smile retreated off my face in seconds. "I'm kidding. Gosh. But don't call me Annabelle." I lifted my hands, showing my innocence. Alia nodded and gave me a dry smile. "Right. I knew that."  "You have both a mom and a dad? How strange. Normally, a half-blood has only one parent; a mom or a dad." Nico looked at the girl nervously. "What- what if she isn't the half-blood we were assigned to find?"

Assigned?   Alia:       I could totally see her being his daughter, I thought as I brought Anna into the ‘survey’ arena. I really wished Nico’s father wasn’t the lord of the dead, one of the Big Three, it REALLY irritated me! Can you blame me! I didn’t want to go to the arena again.
 Anyway, Anna asked me, “So . . . how is this supposed to work?”
“It’s easy, everyday me or Nico will bring you to the arena to test your monster fighting skills, every day the monster will be harder to fight. Today we will start with easiest monster to fight, the monster is the dracaena,’ I announced. “WHAT!” Anna exclaimed.
“I didn’t say it was the nicest, I said it was the easiest.”
I whistled and quickly going out the entranced closed the door and saw her father, the first god I ever saw was one of the most powerful gods on Olympus.  Anna:      He was dressed in a navy blue, button down shirt, with a white tie. Cream colored pants and brown loafer covered the bottom part of his muscled body. The man stroked his medium-length silver white beard, staring me down. I shifted uncomfortably with the attention. Alia looked surprised, and cursed herself in some strange language I didn’t recognize. I caught one word, though. Immortals.
   "My Lord." Alia said, bowing. he nodded at her, not letting his eyes leave mine. "Such beautiful eyes. Child, do you know who I am?" I stared straight into his eyes, and I realized I was looking into my eyes. The same electric blue, with a black outline. I didn't believe it, but, "Dad?"
    The man almost smiled. "I see the brains of your mother came to you. Sadly, I cannot take part in that. I seem to of given you, ah, the worst part." Alia cut in. "Sir, we were just about to test her for monster training. She needs training."  Dad looked at the caged monster, only a few yards away. "Too easy. A child of mine needs a challenge." He snapped his fingers and a large, blue monster appeared.  Alia made a squeaking sound. “Lord Zeus, she is too young and inexperienced! It will kill her!" Zeus didn't reply and we realized that he had left. "Some dad." I grumbled. Stalking towards the monster, I decided that I was going to prove to someone that I wasn't weak. I was STRONG.  The monster yelled. "RAWR!!!!! Freeze!" Alia:       How could he do this to his daughter? How could he?, I thought as I saw the most dangerous monster in mythology standing right in front of my trainee. This was bad.
 I ran for the exit and quickly shut the door behind me. I needed to find Nico QUICK!
I ran into Nico so quickly I didn’t even know what I was doing. When Nico and I were dust off I told him what happened seconds before.
“The person I could ever expect to fight a monster as strong as that is Percy, and still that is a slim chance because they are like the skeletons; only someone with extreme power can kill those type of monsters,” Nico said.
“I know,” I said frightfully. Anna:      I rolled out of the way as blue wind blew towards me from out of the monsters mouth. Where I was standing was a giant patch of ice. Great. He can freeze things. I. Am. Dead. Ducking again, I jumped between his legs and stabbed the back of his knee. Golden blood gushed out from the wound. The monster roared again and raised its blue hand to swipe me away. Instead, I jabbed my dagger in front of me, and Blue Boy got a hand of pain. He tilted his head confused. Then, in the whoosh of the wind, he exploded into dust. Alia barged in, with Nico at her heels. She looked at the dust and stared at me. "You- you..." I retrieved my weapons and waved a slightly. "Uh, hi." That’s when my world went dark- again.  Alia:       Nico picked up Anna when I noticed something new on her left wrist, it read ‘Aegis the Third’ in ancient Greek, in translation it is ‘Aegis the Third’.
 “Nico, doesn’t Thalia have Aegis, you know the shield that has Medusa in the middle?” I asked.
“Yes, why?” “I’m just wondering because there is something new on Anna’s wrist that reads ‘Aegis the Third’.”
 “What!” Nico exclaimed, almost dropping Anna.
 “Dude, if you’re going to drop her, let me take her to her room. We don’t need you to break your foot again, now do we?”
 “Be quiet, you tree nymph,” Nico snaps.
“I’m not a tree nymph, Death Boy!”   Anna:     I awoke in a dark room. Pulling the heavy quilt off of me, I climbed out of the too-comfortable bed and almost collapsed. "Whoa, there." said a voice, hands catching me. "Who-" I began to say. The mysterious, but strangely familiar voice said, "Lights!" Alia stood before me. "Ohh, it's just you." I sighed in relief. Looking around, I asked, "Where's Nico? Did he leave or something?" Alia pointed towards the door. "No, he's outside. Didn't want intrude or something." I nodded, blushing. Following Alia out the door, I thought of yet another question. "How did I get up here? We were in the arena, way down there." I said, pointing. Alia just cleared her throat and waved her hand at the approaching Nico. Without another word, we all walked down the steep hill. What if Nico brought me up? He seems stronger than Alia, even though she looks 15 and he is probably my age. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Nico gasp in fear. "That can't be. The barriers-" "Were broken." Alia interrupted. "A chimera. Beware the teeth, tail, and about... everything else." I gulped. Monsters can kill me. You don't realize how scary that is until you're looking Death in the face... Well, if you know Nico, you have done it a couple times, but, ahh. You get the point. "Let's move." I walked down the rest of the hill, my hand closing around the hilt of my dagger.       Alia:        One second everything was fine next second you see one of the most deadly monsters you can ever think of. Does that sound normal? Well, even for me NO!
 I stood frozen, I was scared. The Chimera must have sensed it, it pounced. I yelled RUN! Knowing that it was not needed, we all knew we had to run.
 We had all scattered in different directions but the Chimera knew that it would be easier to kill me, a weaponless tree nymph. I winced.  Anna: The Chimera pounced on Alia, claws at her throat. Nico turned into shadows, invisible, then reappeared on the monsters back. Ignoring Alia, the Chimera turned around faster than I thought possible. It attacked Nico, who continued to roll out of the way as the bloody-mouthed killer ran after him. Alia stumbled towards me, a 2-layer deep cut on her neck. "You okay?"I asked lamely. Of course she wasn't. One of the most deadly monsters had been seconds away of slitting her throat. With a shaking breath, Alia nodded. "Nico. Where'd Nico go?" I pointed towards the hill. "Great. That idiot is going to get himself killed." She murmured as we sprinted toward the way he went down. When we stopped, Nico stood there, gasping, his deadly black blade in his hand. In front of him was a golden coat, shimmering in the sun. Alia looked at Nico in awe. "The mouth." He said, blushing. "It was nothing. But, right now, we need to get to camp A.S.A.P. It's not safe here." After a long pause, Alia nodded. "Tomorrow morning, at the break of dawn. It is only a few miles. For now, let's go to sleep. We could all use it." I nodded, and went to my cabin in a zombie mode. Falling into a dreamless sleep, I remember one thing. Hearing a man's raspy voice say: My little pawn has grown into a fighter, hmm? Well, you will be a part of my side soon, kid. Watch your back. The voice laughed, and I fell asleep. Anna:     I woke with Alia's hand shaking my shoulder. I groggily sat up. "What?" I whined. Oh right. The Camp. Pulling the quilt off of me, I stuck my feet into my converse.  "C'mon. Nico's waiting." Alia opened the door of my room, allowing fresh, clean air to wash over me. I sighed and stepped out. Nico came out of the shadows of the cabin, and started going down the hill. 
                                                                     ********
An hour past before Alia allowed a breakfast break. We ate our egg and cheese on wheat in silence. I didn't mind. The sandwich was probably the best thing I've had since I signed my death warrant. I, Anna, agree to die by the hands of being a demigod... Finally, Nico ended the no-talking mode. "Time?" "About 7:30 AM." said a strange voice. Alia instinctively balled her fists and turned around. Nico unsheathed his sword, grinding his perfect teeth. My hand went to my dagger's hilt. A jingle sounded when I moved my left hand. What in the world...? Nico noticed me. He slapped his wrist, silently explaining what to do. I did what he signaled and out came a silver shield, the head of Medusa in the middle. "Who-" Alia's confused voice brought me back. Before us stood an 18-year-old boy, dressed in tan shorts and a sky blue shirt. "Sayter from camp. Mr. D. predicted you were dead, but when he found out he was wrong, he sent me. Naturally." Nico rolled his eyes. "Alia, Anna, meet Ty. The stupidest excuse for a sayter ever." Ty held up his hands. "Hey, let the sayter be. Besides. You need my help. Sorta." Alia balled her hands again. "We don’t need anyone’s help. Camp is only 5 miles away, and there is such a thing as a cab." Ty smirked and climbed up a ladder on a nearby apartment building, with unnatural human strength. In a moment’s notice, he was gone. Nico clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "Well. Shall we call a taxi?"
                                                                      ********



Only 15 minutes later, the car stopped in front of a forest. Alia handed the driver 20 bucks then scooted out of the leather- seated car. "You sure you want off? Nothings here." I nodded. When we were all out and the cab had sped away, I grumbled. "Great. Another hill." Nico smiled and took the lead as we climbed. In no time Alia, Nico and I were standing beside a tree on the tip of the hill. I took a deep breath and stepped forward into the boundaries of Camp Half-Blood. I thought I had seen it all until a man, no horse, no man-horse, came up to me and smiled warmly. It was too much. Alia, Nico, and the messed-up man went black. Alia:    Nico caught Anna while I started talking to Chiron. “Hi, Chiron, we have already found out her godly parent. Surprisingly it’s Zeus. Also have you heard anything about where he is, even I really want to kill him, but I want to give him a piece my mind first.”
“No, Poseidon hasn’t contacted me but I would go visit Percy because you know Poseidon doesn’t like talking directly to you and your family,” Chiron replied.Anna:      "Pass out again, kid? A hero of your kind should be tougher. Is she really the one Phoebes?" A voice inside my head said mockingly. "You idiot!" Another voice yelled. "Don't give away names!" The first voice was silent for a long moment. "Yeah. But anyway, Girlie, better pick up your game. As for your future quest, beware. We have our own powers."

I woke up in a large marble room, with a door leading to another fairly-sized room, probably the bathroom. In the center of the marble floor, was a giant statue of a god, holding a lightning bolt. It seemed he was staring right at me, with those cold, heartless eyes. I promised myself that I would move to the bunks behind the statue A.S.A.P. Groaning, I swung my numb legs over the side of the bed, and slowly got to my feet. When I opened the door of my cabin, I shielded my eyes from the shining sun. I guessed it was about noon, considering the sun's placement. While I was checking out the other cabins, blood red, golden, silver, Nico came up behind me. "Eeepp!" I screamed and punched him teasily. "Why must you do that?" Nico chuckled. "Hey, as long as you don't pass out again." Pass out again. The fragment hung in my mind. The dream. A man named Phoebes. My smile retreated off of my face. Nico immediately turned serious and put his hand on my shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong?" I tried to look in his eyes but couldn't. Choosing to stare at the ground, I said, "Nothing. I'm fine. Let's go meet Alia. I have a feeling something’s up." Nico attempted to find answers in my face, but when he realized nothing would pop out, he stopped. We continued down the road.  Alia:     I was sitting by the lake when I heard footsteps behind, it was Percy. “Hey, Seaweed Brain,” I said. “Have you met the new half-blood?”
 “No,” he replied. “But there’s a rumor going around saying she’s Zeus kid, is that true?”
“Yeah, oh, um has Poseidon said anything about his whereabouts?” I said hopefully.
“Yeah, but he didn’t really give me an exact location. All he said was that he is the place you least except.”    
“Oh.” I suddenly heard feet pound on the soft yet hard grass.
“Hey, Percy this is Anna. Anna this is Percy, our cousin,” Nico said.
“Our cousin?” Anna asked.
“I’m Poseidon’s son so in a way we are cousins because Zeus and Poseidon are brothers,” Percy explained.
“Oh,” Anna said.  Anna:      My head pounded as I followed Alia to the Big House. Percy had been sent to get us so Chiron, who apparently was the mess-up man, could talk to us. Soon, we stopped in front of the screen door. Chiron came out and greeted us in wheelchair form. Alia sat down on a couch on the porch, and i followed her lead. "So, Chiron, what's so urgent that it couldn't wait until we settled in?" The horse-man closed his eyes and sighed, like what he was going to say was hard for him to get out. "A- A disturbance has been going on outside of Camp. Two minor gods are angry." Alia chuckled. "That’s it? Minor gods are always mad. It's natural." Chiron wrung his fingers together. "These aren't regular minors. They are sons of Ares. They can control minds and make fear. They can make people mad from images that enter their minds. And these gods are getting more powerful with Hecate and many others on their side. A lot of them are sorcerers, or enchantresses. Like Circe." I groaned. I've heard of her in English class when we were learning about Greek Myths. She was simply one of the most dangerous people. Great. "So, how-" I was interuppted by stomping feet and a country accent. In came a girl, probably 13, with short dark hair, with blue highlights going down some strands. "Chiron! Sydney stole my knife!" Her face was bright red, like a juicy beet. In a second, another girl came running in, panting. "I..did...not." She said breathing hard. This girl looked 15, with strawberry blond hair covering her face until she blew it away. "Brie Anne! I told you I didn't!" She pleaded. Brie Anne turned to her. "Oh yeah, Sydney? Then where is it?" "Not with her, I bet! When has she ever actually taken something?" said yet another voice. The girl was also probably 15, with auburn hair like mine. "Besides, I told you he was with the newbie!" Chiron cleared his throat. "Brie, Sydney, and Cea-Cea. I am very busy. Please leave. And Cea-Cea, can you warn Rebecca that Anna will be with her soon? Thank you." Cea-Cea nodded and left with Sydney and Brie. "All right, as I was saying, we need a quest. If you agree, then it will be you two, accompanied by Nico. Do you agree?" Well, I had to think about it. Okay, so I'd be chased by deadly monsters that want to kill me, tracked by powerful gods that can turn me to ash, while I could be perfectly safe at Camp, cuddled up with hot chocolate in warm blankets. Hmmm...tough choice. But then again, it was going to save the world, which included my family. "Fine. Lets do it. When are we leaving?" Chiron gave a dry, forced smile. "Tomorrow morning. You only have 11 days to complete the task at hand." Alia gulped and asked a question. "What are we exactly going to do?" Chiron turned to me. "Anna, time to go to the oracle. Rebecca will take you. I need to talk to Alia."
I sat there for a minute, but then quickly got up and left. I needed to think. Alia:    “Alia, Poseidon sent me a message about 20 minutes ago, he said that your brother is working with two minor gods that he thinks are declaring war against Olympus. He’s not sure which two minor gods but he knows that two minor gods are causing a lot of chaos,” Chiron said.

“Michael is really making his hole deeper and deeper,” I said in a very oblivious voice.

“Alia I will warn you that there has been somebody- or something- wandering in the shadows and I think you know who it is.”

“Chiron it can’t be HIM! He betrayed me with that 12 year old Deborah and I also told him that if he ever tried to butter me up again then I’d literally find some sort of weapon and kill him with it!” I exclaimed.
I heard somebody cough from right. It was Zach. Anna:     While Alia was googly-eyed at some kid in the doorway, I stood up, pushing the chair backwards. I was getting angry. No more secrets, that was what I wanted. "Chiron, you two won't even tell me who the heck I am, and now Alia has a brother and.. and a boyfriend?!" I said, pointing at Alia. Her head snapped toward me and she spoke icily to me. "He is not my boyfriend. We're just..friends." The last word came out ina choke. i rolled my eyes. "Ya, I'm supposed to believe that. I'm going to my cabin. It's been a long day." My feet pounded against the hollow wooden floors.
Once I was outside, I went toward the large buildings, that i suspected to be the cabins. One was expecally large, and i decided that it would be my temporary house. Whoever lived here would have to deal with it. I stepped inside and a tall, creepy statue of a man with a lightning bolt stared down at me with his marble eyes. The scariest part? He looked just like that guy from the arena. the one who called himself my dad. I shivered and walked toward the back of the room, where the statue's eyes couldn't bore into me. "Oh, hi there!" a cheery voice made me jump sky high. Turning aroung, I clutched my chest where my heart is, as if I was having a heart attack. The girl behind me had dirty blond hair, and hazel eyes. "You must be the one Cea-cea told me about." All I could do was nod. Who knew recovering took so long? "Well, this is the Zeus cabin. Your new home." This time, I actually spole. "No, this isn't my home. My home is on Sugar Lane. Not here." The girl regarded me with a sad smile. "I thought that too, hon. I thought that too." For a minute it looked like she was actually sad, but then she became happy again. "I'm Rebecca. Rebecca Kelly. You are... Anna, right? Of course you are. Everyone is talking about you." Everyone? I thought. What did I do to deserve to get attention? I just got here! I was lost in thought while Rebecca showed me my bed. “Thanks a lot Zach, just leave me alone and NEVER come back or I’ll literally explode. You might be Ares kid but it doesn’t mean I’m scared of you. You betrayed me, you’re a traitor to me,” I yelled at him while starting to run into a wake of demigods.
I ran to the lake.
It seemed like I was crying forever when I heard the conch horn signaling it was time to go to mess hall. “Get it together, Alia. He’s just a betraying jerk that only cares about himself.”
I started running to mess hall when I saw Michael staring at me in the woods with a javelin in his hand.After I got my anger under control, I decided to talk to Alia about the vague quest. As I was walking past the woods, I saw Alia staring straight into the forest, completely unaware of whatever else was going on around her. I stepped forward, planning on getting her out of her trance, when she suddenly shook her head, looked around, and snuck into the dark forest. My leg shook, just like it did whenever I had to make a decision. After a few precious seconds of weighing the pro's and con's of either following her or getting Nico, I forced my cowardly legs into the woods. I was used to being quiet, so not stepping on twigs was easy. Not worrying about what else was hiding behind these trees? Now that is a different story. But I kept moving, keeping Alia in my sight. She eventually stopped crunching through the woods, obviously not caring about being loud or anything, and spoke to the person who seemed to of materialized next to a tree. "Michael." I swear her words dripped icicles. "Leave us. Leave Camp. You'll only hurt yourself." The boy, Michael, smirked. "Please. Who's going to hurt me? Are you willing to kill your own brother? Some peaceful nymph you turned to be." He rolled his eyes. "I am no longer a nymph. Water is not my home. Camp Half-Blood is. They are more of a family than you were ever. You're just jealous because Mother liked me best, since I turned out to be what she always wanted. You were a mistake. Father never wanted you." Michael swollowed, clearly taken back by what Alia said, but quickly regained his composure. "Ouch, Sis. You really know how to throw a punch. Zach teach you that?" There was that name again. Zach. Who was he? Who was Alia and her supposably brother? What was happening? Words swirled around in my mind. Nymph. Alia. Zach, Boyfriend, Michael. It was all to much to take in. I put a stopper on my mind, and listened to the conversation. "-fight me?" Michael was saying. Alia chuckled, biut it was forced. Something told me she was afraid. "You could never beat me. And you know that." "Oh yeah, pretty one? If you won't join me, then I'll force you. I'm with your brother now." Michael beamed as another figure stepped out. I reconized it as Zach, son of Ares. This can't be good. He came so close to Alia, that she had to lean back so her face didn't collide with his. "Join us. Join the New Kings. My brothers." Alia looked down, contemplating what he had just said. "Brothers?" She breathed. "You mean.... No. It can't be Phobes and Deminos. It can't." Phobes. The word slithered through my mind like a snake. He was the name from my dream so long ago. Michael laughed. "Think again. They are back and our masters. And soon they will be yours to." he stepped forward and grabbed Alia's arm so tight that she winced in pain. I had had enough. I stepped out from the shadows and yelled, "Wait!"


   I swallowed. Honestly, I think my brain kicked my head for being so stupid. How was I supposed to fight the godly sons of the war god? Now I understood that 78 in English last year. I blinked hard, mentally running through the options I could use to get Alia and myself out of this. "Let go of her!" I commanded. I hope that it didn't sound as weak as I thought. Micheal laughed evily, causing Alia to twitch. "'Let go of her!'" He mimiced. "Please. Like that's going to work. Phobes, Deminos, would you like to do the honors of showing our guest what real fear is like?" Alia gasped. Her eyes flickered between me and Micheal. "Of course. That's my favorite thing to do." Phobes cracked his neck. How will I get out of here alive? I thought madly. Then I got an idea. Quickly, I slapped my bracelet, named Aegis, and it grew out into full size, Medusa's head in the middle. I saw Deminos flinch, and Phobes stepped back. "And that's not all. See, being Zeus's daughter gives me some... extra powers." I willed a few air current to form under my feet. They did as I asked, and I silently ordered for them to do the same with Alia. As she was lifted, her face broke into a grin, and i floated over to her. "Let's get out of here and get on that quest." Alia nodded and she and I zoomed out of there.
Let’s just say being the daughter of the sky god has its ups and downs.What a trainer I am! My trainee had to save ME! I thought.
“I only have one question, are you literally water tree nymph?” Anna asked.
Am I? “I don’t know, in my blood yes, but I don’t want to count myself as a tree nymph. Poseidon and I made a deal that I don’t have to have water as my home but I would still be a nymph. I was sent to camp after we made the deal final. That’s when I met Zach who I thought was nice until I found out he was cheating with this girl named Deborah, daughter of Aphrodite. Everything went down hill after that,” I explained.
“That’s why you sort of freaked out when you saw him?”
“Yeah, please just don’t tell anyone that though because the only people who know are you, Michael, Zach, Nico, Chiron, and myself.”  

wow.... I just realized how long it was..... :P

After our talk, Alia and I went separete ways to our cabins. I went to the Zeus cabin with Rebecca, and Alia went to the Hades cabin with Nico. As I walked through the marble doors, I felt a cold, quick breeze as someone ran in front of me. After a moment, my eyes adjusted and I saw a girl's smiling face staring straight into mine. "I can't believe it! You got a quest!" a voice, who I reconized as Rebecca's, screeched in my ear. I shook my head. "It's not that good. I could, like, die." Rebecca's preppiness went down for one second but then she moved onto a different part of the news. "Okay, I have to take you to the Oracle. Phrophacy time!" Her excitment was almost annoying. I could die! Anyway, Rebecca pulled me off my too-comfortable-bed, and dragged me to the Big House, up into the attic. "Go on," she instructed, slightly pushing me towards a gross mummy. She seemed like a dead hippie. "I, um, wa-need a phrophacy." I said to the mummy, unsure of what to do exactly. A slithering voice entered my mind, like a misty snake, wrapping around my brain, giving me the chills. I am the spirit of Delphie. You say you need a phrophacy, seeker? I nodded, then realized her sunken eyes probably couldn't see. "Yes," I croaked out. Very well.
One will be taken, leaving the others shaking.
Show her strength and be live,
 Join the cause and you won't be alive,
Convince the King and safety will find you,  
Do or die, this is true.


I collasped after that experience.



OK, so I know that phrophacy was terrible, but hey, I'm tired :P    

Anna that is a pretty good prophesy(sp?) and I enjoyed this part ALOT!!!

Cea-Cea

P.s. I'd love to help you on your quest =-)

thx for volunteering Cea-cea, but I dont think we are having a helper. Thx though. Ill continue. Here's a surprise:

 How I slept that night? Lets just say that even the thought of seeing Nico didn't get me awake enough to do anything more than a ponytail with my hair. I walked out of the cabin like a zombie, Rebecca chatting behind me about quests. Who knew what went on in her mind to think of these things? "Anna! Hey!" Cea-Cea ran up to me, followed by Sydney, Emily, and Brie Anne. Emily was holding a black backpack. "We brought a few supplies, you know, to help you with your trip." Sydney explained, while Emily handed me the pack. "Just a few things. Water, food, ambrosia, nectar, bandages, a first aid kit, the works." Brie said. The pack was surprisingly light, considering what it was holding. "Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. Now, to do you want to go get some break-" "ANNA!" a voice, I immediatly reconized as Nico's, interuppted me. "She.. Alia.. Gone.. Night..." Nico was on his knees, gasping for breath. I waved my hand in front of his face, trying to get his attention, while Cea-Cea handed him a water bottle. Nico gulped it down, wiped his mouth, and took a deep breath. "Okay. So I was just in our cabin, and Alia said she had to go for a minute. I thought she had to go to the BR or something. Then, when she didn't come back for a half-an-hour, I went to search for her. I've been out all night. She's no where." His explanation explained why his jet black hair had leaves and twigs in it, his shirt torn at points (probably from branches), and his eyes had bags under them. "She's gone?" I asked stupidly. It was hard to believe. Alia was strong, and could take care of herself. Except for yesturday... "Nico! Ugh! We need to see Chiron, like now." I grabbed his hand, sending chills up my back, and stomped toward the Big House, the girls parading behind me.

How was that? AND PLZ DONT GO ON OUR PAGE! I DONT WANT IT TO BE RUINED! I KNOW NO OF YOU HAS YET BEUT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Cool, um, I didn't steal anything *cough*not *cough* stupid athsma. XD

Cea

Thx guys. Since its Friday, Jackie should be writing soon, so the next part, by her, will be amazing!

I woke up on a cold concrete floor with an unbearable headache. I couldn’t even think! 
 Even though I couldn’t think something in the back of my head said, Find Anna or find strength. I tried with all my strength to get up but there was no way I had the strength.
 ”Where am I?” I said aloud.
“The cave of fear and terror, if only you had picked my side my dear, Alia. You still have a chance, all you have to do is come over to my side and we could go back to being with each other again, you’ll be safe,” said a misty voice.
