Changing Fate

1

Luca's heart feels like it's going to burst from his chest. 'This can't be real. There's no way I'm in Camp Half-Blood. If this is real I need to find Chiron. He'll know what to do. This is a disaster.'  Luca thinks to himself. The girl, who he now knows as Annabeth, looks at him concerned. "Are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere?" He shakes his head, "Can you show me to Chiron, please? I need to speak with him." 

Annabeth looks surprised, "You know Chiron?" Luca debates about telling her for a moment before deciding he shouldn't tell her how he knows Chiron, "I know of him. I need to talk to him about something important. Can you show me the way?" Annabeth nods before saying, "I'll wait outside while you get changed. Your clothes were torn when they found you. Will left those for you to change into when you woke up." She points to the chair across from the bed where an orange shirt and some shorts lay. 

She stands up and walks over to the door, "I'll just be outside. Yell if you need anything." She closes the door behind her. Luca sighs to himself before getting off the bed. He grabs the clothes she pointed to before he starts to change. As he took his shirt off though he realized that he still had his binder on. "So I'm still stuck in this body? Wonderful," he mutters sarcastically. Looking to the ceiling he asks, "Why did you bring me here? What purpose do I have? I have nothing special about me. I have no special powers or the ability to charm people. I'm an antisocial anxious piece of trash." The sky rumbles a moment and he sighs. 'Wonderful'  he thinks to himself.

He hurries and puts on the clothes he was left before realizing he has no shoes. He sighs and walks to the door before he gets a feeling he's missing something. He walks back to his old clothes and searches the pockets. He finds a few gold coins, which he assumes are golden drachmas, and a pendant on a chain. The chain was nothing special but the pendant looked important. It was black and shaped like a pitchfork but it only had 2 prongs. 

He places the necklace around his neck before deciding to hide it with his shirt. After placing the pendant under his shirt, he opens the door. He finds Annabeth seemingly talking to herself. Walking over he realizes that she's talking to somebody via an Iris message. He clears his throat and she turns towards him. Thus giving him a view of who she's speaking to. The boy in the mist had brown hair so dark it almost looked black, olive skin, and dark brown eyes. 

"Ah, Nico this is....." Annabeth trails off realizing she doesn't know his name. Luca sighs and rubs his neck, "My name is Luca D'Ambrosio. It is nice to meet you." He bows his head a bit in greeting. "Nico di Angelo." The boy in the mist says. Luca's eyes go wide a little bit before he shakes his head and nods. The boy, who he now knows is Nico, seems to ponder for a moment, "D'Ambrosio? Are you Italian?" Luca nods again, "I am indeed Italian. I'm from Milan." Nico nods in appreciation, "I was born in Venice." 

"Ah, Venice is a wonderful place I hear. I never visited there but I hear it's lovely. Anyways, it was nice to meet you but I need to see Chiron." Luca says looking at Annabeth. She turns to Nico and nods, "Please keep me up to date if you find anything, Nico. Percy can't be gone completely." Nico nods and the Iris Message disappears. Annabeth turns back to him and motions for him to follow her. 

As they walk Luca asks her about Percy, "You mentioned Percy? Percy Jackson? Is he missing?" Annabeth looks at him, "How do you know Percy?" Luca smiles grimly, "I know a lot of things Annabeth. Things I wish I didn't know." Annabeth looks suspiciously at him but nods. He sighs, "I have seen future events. I know how things will happen, when they will happen, and how bad they will be. You and Percy Jackson are just 2 of some very important people, Annabeth Chase. The road ahead is a dangerous one but everything will be fine. It will work in your favour." He states. She looks surprised again, "Is that why you know Chiron?" 

He nods, "I must speak to Chiron about something that will change everything. Something dangerous is rising. Something more dangerous than Kronos." Annabeth gets a dark look on her face and nods. They pass by cabin after cabin before they reach the Big House. Luca thanks Annabeth, "Thank you for showing me the way but I must ask that you do not continue with me. There are things I must discuss with Chiron that would change the balance of things if you were to hear. Please wait here or go get ready. You are going to leave after lunch to get the boy with one sock yes?" 

She sighs but agrees, "I'll be at the stables when you're done." He nods as she walks off. After she's gone he walks up the steps and knocks on the door to the Big House. It takes a few moments but eventually the door opens. There stands, well sits, a man in a wheel chair. "Yes what do you need?" He asks. Luca smiles at the man, "Hello Chiron. There seems to be some things we need to discuss."
