Chapter Two
I walked to cabin six after I finished talking to Rachel, which only make me worried more.
Zeus's son ?
How many time did he break the oath? I mean my dad also broke the oath but only once and now he had only me.
But for Zeus, The one who want this oath to be made, was the first to broke it and maybe more than once.
It's ironic that Hades, the least popular of big three is the best when it comes to 'keep-the-promise' thing.
"Hey, Percy" a voice called me from behind, I turned back. It was Francis, one of Annabeth's half-brother.
He's standing behind me with two girls that wearing orange camp t-shirt with '1st year camper' screened on it.
"Hey, Francis." I said and then turn to the girls and smiled "Hey, girls. You're new here, right?" None of them answer me but both did blush.
"Don't make my new half-sisters fall for you, Percy" Francis laughed but the girls blushed more and more. "Annabeth is so not gonna like it"
"I just smiled" I protested
"That's all you have to do!" Francis seems to notice that he just made these girl embarrassed.
"So, Lindsey and Grace. This is Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. He is our camp leader.
And Percy, Lindsey and Grace are my new sisters. So, please go easy on them in their first sword fight class"
"Sorry girls. That's not possible with Annabeth around" I replied. Francis laughed again
but then he stopped as soon as he saw Annabeth walking toward us.
"I heard you guys said my name and then laughed, twice" She glanced at me and Francis.
"We did mention you a bit in our conversation" Francis said, try not to laugh. "Right, Percy?"
"Really?" She turned to me.
"Yep" I smiled and put my arms around her. She hug me back. And that when she noticed that there're another two girls in the scene.
"Hello, you should be Lindsey and Grace, right? I'm Annabeth leader of Cabin six" She smiled and turned to Francis "Did they already talk to Chiron?"
"Not yet, Mr. D is talking to him right now. About building new arena" He said
"Okay, I will show them around and take care of those orientation things." Annabeth take her new half-sisters' hands and start to walk to the big house
"Come with me, seaweed brain!"
I said bye to Francis and take a quick step to follow them. After a few moment, we stopped at the big house.
"Here is where the meeting take place. You can find Chiron and Mr. D here in official hours" Annabeth explained
but the girls seem a bit confuse so I added more information
"Chiron is our teacher, you know Hercules?" they nodded "He taught him too"
"Really, how old is he? I mean Hercules died long, long time ago" The blonde girl with blue eyes said. I think she is Grace.
"Well, you'll know once you met him. And Mr. D is our camp director, who would do anything to make our life miserable.
So, don't make him angry. It's no good to make a god angry"
"He is a god?" Lindsey asked. She has a black hair, as black as a raven. But it matches well with her grey eyes.
"Yes, Dionysus. God of wine" Annabeth answered and point at the apple tree near by.
"That's the prophecy tree. We carved the great prophecy on its bark."
"This is the latest one, updated six years ago" I joked
"Six years? That can't called 'update'. It should be 'up-to-date'" Grace said
"It is. The last great prophecy had been forecasted seventy years ago. And it was about me and now I'm only twenty.
So, I assumed that six years is okay with the word update"
Annabeth laughed and moved her hand out of the tree's bark so Lindsey can read it.
"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call. To storm or fire, the world must fall.
An oath to keep with a final breath, And foes bear arms to the Doors of Death." Her voice was a bit shaking
"Seven half-bloods shall answer the call? How could you know which seven half-bloods that this prophecy meant? And the call?"
"We think that the call means Kronos, He will try to rise again and he will use half-blood to do his dirty job. It happened many time before."
I said, Annabeth look a bit sad. I know she's thinking about Luke.
"Kronos? He is Zeus's father" Lindsey turned to me "Does Zeus has any children?"
"Yes, Thalia. But now she is a Hunter. She pledged herself to lady Artemis"
"She? I though it's he"
"Why do you think that Zeus has a son" Annabbeth walked closer to Lindsey
"I had a dream. I was in a very dark place and there was a man voice, he told me to find Zeus's son.
I try to ask him why but he never answer me. And every time I try to reach for him, I woke up.
He sounds like he's standing next to me but I can't reach him, I can't see his face"
I looked at Annabeth and met her eyes. I feel like someone punched me, real hard. Things seem more obvious now.
"I had similar dream, too. But in my dream that voice told me to find son of Hades"
Now I and Annabeth look at each other, we are worried sick. But Rachel isn't here and we don't want to interrupt
Mr. D and Chiron. We need a good advise, we really need it now.
"Let's go to the shore. Maybe, we will lucky enough to see my dad fishing around there."
Sorry for kept you guys waiting.
I just finished this chapter about two minutes ago. LOL
I think maybe the plot is a bit too easy. And you could guess what will happened next. So, I will try to fix it :)
Hope you like it.
