Your pov

I laughed, but realized Leo was being serious. "How could I read minds?" 

"I don't know, but we should find out" Leo said. 

"Well....back to the Big House"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"-and then she read my mind!!" Leo finished. Will was also there, but Chiron knew about our feud. 

"Well this is a predicament. I don't know why this is happening young demigod." He said.

This is what the prophecy meant. If they found out that there is more to the prophecy, it would cause chaos. 

"You're lying" I deadpanned.

Chiron paled. "Di-did you just"

"Read your mind? Yes"

"Well as it seems I cannot hide things, I mine as well tell you the rest of the prophecy. Please retrieve the head counselors, and the 7."

Leo went to get them.

More squigglies for you because Leo is slow~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you mean there is more to the prophecy?" Annabeth asked.

"It turns out the prophecy is the next Big Prophecy. The fulfilled one is:

A daughter of the sea with blessings from above
Must face a challenge with the one she will come to love
Plunging into darkness twice, she must do it alone
She must retrieve one of her own
Soon after reuniting, the daughter of the sea must leave
Three goals she must achieve

With misery and despair on the way

To the one with love, magic, and water, three lovers will come in the days

When day and happiness are gone

10 will bring back dawn" Chiron finished.

We all stared at him. "So it's obvious 7 of the 10 is the 7 from the last Big Prophecy."

"That was less then a year ago" I heard Leo mutter.

"What? You have somewhere to be Repair Boy?" I teased him.

As a matter of fact I do, but it can hold on for you. Wait am I falling for her? No no no!!!! What about Calypso?!  Oh gods she's looking at me! Ahhhhh!!!! She looks so cute. Wait can't she read my mind?! IM SUCH AN IDIOT!!! 

I blushed hearing Leo's thoughts. "Y-yeah I can hear your thoughts"

"I- Um- oop" Leo squeaked and I feel myself heat up. Did he like me?  Chiron coughed.

"Um...on that note, I'd like to explain why Y/n can read minds. Being blessed by Aphrodite gives Y/n the ability to charm-speak and also gives her Aphrodite's blessing, which is most likely going to be permanent. Being blessed by Ares gives her the ability to know every battle and what to do. She can also raise the dead of the people on the loosing side of a war, if it's where she is. Being blessed by Hecate causes her to have certain magical abilities and to call creatures of the night, such as hell-hounds. Being blessed by Athena gives Y/n wisdom and battle strategy. Being blessed by Hades causes her to be able to Shadow Travel. And then of course she also has the abilities of any child of Poseidon."

We all just stared taking in all the new information, but Chiron wasn't done.

"Of course there are drawbacks to most of them. Being blessed by Aphrodite causes y/n to fall in love easily. Being blessed by Ares makes her angered easily. Being blessed by Hecate means that although she has the power to call creatures of the night, doesn't mean she controls them, as seen when she first came to camp. Being blessed by Athena gives her the fear of spiders. Being blessed by Hades causes y/n to feel inferior which causes her to have depressive episodes."

We all tried to absorb the information which Chiron just dumped on us. This wasn't easy to handle, especially my weaknesses, because they were so true. 

"Wait doesn't that mean there's smaller quests to go on?" I asked, shakily.

Chiron nodded solemnly.

Leo grabbed my hand reassuringly. It's okay.

I smiled at the boy's attempt to reassure me. "What about the glowing, levitating thing though?" I asked.

"I am sorry child, but I honestly do not know" He said, looking at me with sympathy. 

I nodded, knitting my eyebrows. 

"But we can teach you to control your abilities. If you can close off your abilities, it makes sense that you will also close off your weaknesses."

With that we ended the meeting.

"Hey! Y/n wait up!" I heard a voice call. "Listen I'm sorry about earlier, I just-"

"Percy, it's fine. I was acting like a brat. I shouldn't have lashed out at you like that. I was just feeling so many emotions, I was over-joyed that you were back, but really mad at the gods for taking you away from me. I was upset that you didn't remember me at first and so much more, so I lashed out at you. I'm sorry"

My brother engulfed me in a hug and I blinked back tears. 

The Next Day~

"Hey y/n, c-can I ask you something" Connor Stoll came up behind me.

I nodded.

He blushed and rubbed the back of his neck. "D-Do you want to u-um go on a d-da-date with me?"

I blushed and my face went red. "S-sure" I stuttered. 

"O-okay I'll come by your cabin at 7?"

I nodded and Connor ran off, smiling. I stood there while the realization sunk in.

"PIPER!" I ran to the Aphrodite cabin.

"Yeah what happened?" Piper opened the door, peeking her head out. 

"I NEED HELP!" I yelled frantically.

"With what?! What happened?!" Piper said opening the door more, so I could see inside it. I heard a grunt and then an 'Ow'. And a bunch of clamoring.

"Leo?" I tried peeking more and Piper slammed the door....on my foot.

"OWWWW! PIPER"

Her face turned red. "SORRY!" She yelled through the door. 

"PIPER I NEED HELP!!!!!" I yelled realizing it was already 6:15.

"With what?"

"I have a date with Connor!" The cabin went quiet and I opened the door. 

"LEO?!"

"H-hey y/n"

"Out please! I have a date with Connor Stoll!!!!" I squealed pushing my best friend out the door, blushing at the contact. I shook the thoughts out of my head, I had a date with Connor. I still liked Leo- a lot, but he liked this Calypso girl. I struggled, but put on a fake smile.

"Wait but-"

"Nope!" I pushed him out and a bunch of girls crowded around me, except for Piper.

"Pipes?"

She sighed, "You just screwed up really bad".

I tilted my head.

"Nothing" She sighed again. "Anyway lets find you an outfit"
