The Chloe Chronicles: The Lost Goddess
Andrew- A prophecy
"Get up! Get out! I will kill you! Get out you brat!"
Andrew blinked his eyes open, trying to figure out who could possibly be yelling. Could it be Annabeth? Andrew rubbed his eyes and sat up, realizing he was in the Athena cabin, and he remembered that Chloe slept in the same bed with him the night before. Andrew looked on his arm quickly, seeing the gash made by one of the nightmares.
"It wasn't a dream," Andrew said, looking at the Athena campers.
"Get out! You don't belong here," Celeste spat, yelling at Chloe. "Get out now or I will tell Chiron you and Andrew slept together last night!"
"Nothing happened," Chloe said, moving her legs over the side of the bed. "You try being chased by ten nightmares and having the energy to walk back to your cabin."
"Oh look everyone," Celeste said. "Crazy girl has an opinion, maybe we should listen!"
"Did you ever think Celeste, that your mother didn't mind me being in here? She could have blasted me to pieces in my sleep any time but she chose to leave me alone. Why do you think she did that?"
The Athena campers in the cabin frowned, thinking about what Chloe had said. Andrew rolled his eyes and put his arm around Chloe. Celeste pushed Chloe aside, growling at him.
"How dare you!" she shrieked, grabbing Andrew by the collar and shaking him. Andrew's eyes shot open and he grabbed Celeste's wrists.
"Chloe, I think you shoud go," Marcus said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "We'll take care of Celeste."
"Thanks Marcus," Chloe said. "I'll see you later Andrew."
Andrew wanted to tell her not to leave, but she had already walked from the door.
"Thanks Celeste, you really do a good job of scaring people away," Andrew said.
"It's not my fault you broke a rule," Celeste said, tugging her arms from his grip.
"Cut the guy some slack," Steve said. "It's obvious he likes her. It's no different than Percy being in here with Annabeth."
"It's different because she's crazy, and I know mother would never approve of another Athena-Poseidon relationship."
"You don't know that," Andrew said, walking from the room. "If Annabeth were here, she'd disagree enitrely."
"Oh, I'm sure she would," Celeste said. "She's biased in this debate."
Andrew groaned. "Zeus Celeste, why do you have to be such a whiny shrew al the time?"
"I'm protecting the cabin."
"Next time, don't! Stay out of it," Andrew yelled, slamming the door of the Athena cabin.
"You sound angry," Nico said, standing behind him.
"Not really in the mood to talk about it," Andrew said. "What do you want?"
"Where's Chloe? I want to see her."
"She just left. She probably went to her cabin."
"How did you get out?"
"Climbed out a window. I don't know how you could sleep with those things roaming around outside the door."
"With great power comes great need to take a nap," Nico said. "All the nightmares left before we came from the big house. Do you know where they went?"
"Chloe and I followed a few into the forest near the red base. We should have a few groups search the forest for clues on their whereabouts."
"Hate to break it to you, but that isn't going to happen today," Nico said. "We have another visitor."
Andrew knew exactly who the god was once he saw the entire Apollo cabin kneeling and smiling. The sun god wore glasses over his eyes and had on a bright red suit.
"What's he doing here," Andrew asked.
"He's here delivering a message..from Rachel."
"The oracle?"
Nico nodded and they stopped, standing behind a crowd of campers. Chiron was standing close to the god, speaking with him along with Mr. D who didn't looked pleased with the visit.
"I hate to drop in without a reason, but the big guy said I had to do this. Hermes was busy and apparently this was close to one of my stops."
"It is not a problem at all my lord," Chiron said.
"Now, as you all know," Apollo said, speaking to everyone. "You do have an oracle. However, Ms. Dare could not come and give the message herself because she and a satyr, Grover Underwood have been kidnapped."
Andrew noticed Nico clench his fist a little bit and then look in Percy's direction. The two of them met eyes for a moment and Nico gave Percy a reassuring nod.
"We do not know who has kidnapped them, but what we do know is that this has been predicted for over a millennium."
"There is a prophecy that was written a long time ago by an oracle. It was only a few years after Zeus took the throne of Olympus. This Oracle spoke to the gods, but mostly Zeus, Poseidon and Hades."
"She predicted that one day, Chaos would begin waking, but a few things had to happen first before that could happen. A girl, had to be born with the blood of Poseidon, because he was known to only have sons. Before the Big Three made the pact about not having anymore children, the prophecy was stolen from our library. Rachel has told me a new prophecy, so without further ado...ahem."
The entire camp sat in silence as Apollo brought a piece of paper from his pocket.
"On the day of the dead
The golden light shall rise.
The horse, the owl, shall meet their demise.
Destiny changed by the ones without souls
A plan brought by fate's scroll.
As the orb of night shines, the clock ticks
The hero in the end the child of reason
A goddess born from the highest treason."
The camp remained quiet until Chiron nodded and the sun god disappeared in a flash of bright yellow flames. Campers around Andrew began talking and he turned to Nico who motioned for him to follow.
"What's happening now?"
"We find Chloe, that prophecy is meant for her."
