Betrayed

Chapter 27

*Percy/Nova POV*

When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by smoke.

"Where am I?" I wondered. 

"Why hello Perseus Jackson." The voice sounded old and powerful, as if it had seen the rise and fall of empires. Which, I reminded myself, it probably had.

"Who are you? "

"No one of consequence, yet anyway." 

"Kronos?" 

The voice laughed, not a 'haha you're so funny laugh' but a 'you're so stupid it's funny' laugh. I used to get that laugh a lot from Annabeth

"No, I'm much more powerful."

"Why are you talking to me?"

"I wish to inform you, Perseus, that Kronos shall attack soon."

"Why are you telling me?" 

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

"Wow, cliche much?" 

The voice laughed again.

"Sleep tight little demigod." 

The dreamscape faded and I woke in my bed. I got up and got into my running gear. The sun was only just rising when I started my run. I plugged in my earphones and started running as Superheroes by the Script blasted in my ears. (Seriously tho, this is my favorite song, you should go listen to it.)

(Alright, back to your regularly scheduled fanfic)

I ran laps of the camp, thinking about my dream and what it might mean. Eventually, I decided to go tell Chiron. I jogged over to the big house and knocked on the door. Chiron opened the door, rubbing sleep from his eyes. "Good morning Commander." "Good morning Chiron. May I speak to you inside?" He nodded and stepped aside, letting me in. I walked past him and sat down at the rec room table. Chiron came in and sat at the other end of the table. "What did you wish to talk to me about?"

"Kronos will attack soon"

"I'll get the Athena kids to come up with a battle plan now."

"With all due respect, I feel that my team and I would be better suited to plan our strategy, we have a few demigods that were previously in his army." 

"Are you absolutely certain that they're loyal to you?"

"I trust my team with my life. Please do not doubt their loyalty." 

"I'm sorry, I should not have doubted them. However, I'm still going to put Athena's children in charge. You may oversee their plans."

I grudgingly nodded. I wanted to call a meeting and explain the plan to the campers right at that moment but Chiron felt it would be better if I went back to my cabin and we called the meeting after breakfast. 

I wandered back to my cabin and hopped in the shower.  I got out and got dressed. I grabbed my book, went downstairs and sat on the couch, waiting for the others to wake up. I opened my book and started reading, immediately being pulled into the world of wizards, witches, dragons and giant snakes.

 I was so immersed in my reading that I didn't notice Bianca until she snapped her fingers in front of my face. I yelped in surprise. She laughed and sat down beside me. She looked so beautiful today, her eyes sparkled, her hair shone in the early morning light, a mischievous smile played on her lips. I stared at her for a moment, noticing all her freckles. "Earth to Percy? You in there? Hello?" I snapped back to reality. "Sorry Bianca, I was just staring at my beautiful girlfriend." She blushed. I leaned in, "You know, you look cute when you blush." She blushed even more. I closed the space between us and kissed her. She deepened the kiss and it quickly became more passionate. I heard a cough from behind and we broke apart.
