I woke up in my room which was still pitch black. I got up and looked out the window seeing it was still night. I looked at my clock to see that there was no time. I got dressed and headed out of my cabin to see if I could find someone.
I headed to the arena but no one was there. Next, I headed to the pavilion, and then the strawberry fields but still no one. Then I headed to the big house, the rock wall, and the lake. I couldn't find anyone anywhere. The last place I could look was the hill. I headed there. When I got there I immediately stopped in my tracks and tears started to fall down my face.
By Talia's tree, there were all the campers. All of them were dead all of them. There was Kat, and Chiron, and Percy. I looked at all of them and just started crying, and crying. I spotted one of them moving. I ran over to him and he looked straight at me.
"You did this," he said
"How what happened?" I asked
"This is your fault," he said
"You could have saved us. You could have saved us" Everyone started to say.
I looked around at everyone then someone stood up and looked at me. It was Lucas. He looked at me before a sharp pain shot through me. There was another arrow in my stomach. He stood there looking at me and laughing.
I shot up in my bed. I looked around and then at the clock. It read 4:30am. I went into my bathroom and got ready to take a shower. I got undressed and took off my bandage. When I took it off I stood there stunned at what I saw. My wound was bleeding. But not just red blood but it also had silver streaks in it.
Instead of taking a shower I got dressed. I grabbed my clothes which were jeans and a red tank top. I grabbed my daggers and my necklace. I put the daggers in my boots and then I headed out to the big house.
When I got to the big house I found Chiron outside on the porch. I walked over to him.
"Hey, Chiron could I talk to you?" I asked
"Of course child," he said. he leads me inside and then we both stopped.
"when do you need child," he asked
"I head a dream. I woke up in bed but when I left my cabin no one was there. I looked everywhere. But when I got to the hill I found everyone there and they were all dead. Then they started to say that I could have saved them and that it was my fault." I said
"That is very interesting," he said
"But there was more. In the middle of everyone Lucas stood up-" I started but was interpreted by Chiron.
"I thought he betrayed you," he said
"He did," I said
"What did he do?" he asked
"He stood up and looked at me then I felt pain in my stomach and looked down to see another arrow in my stomach. When I looked back up at him he was laughing. Then I woke up" I told him
"Hm," he said thinking about something
"But there is something else," I said
"What?" he asked
"This," I said lifting my shirt up.
I lifted my shirt and peeled away the new bandage that I put on. The wound was still streaked with silver. I looked at Chiron as he looked at it. I put the bandage over the wound and then pulled my shirt back down.
"What is it?" I asked him
"I don't know it just looks like the wound from getting hit with an arrow," he said
"You didn't see it?" I asked him
"No what was it?" he asked
"My blood has streaks of silver in it," I said
"Hm," he said
"What do I do," I asked him
"Go to your mother's cabin and ask her," he said
"Thanks, bye," I said
After that, I left heading for my mother's cabin. When I got to it I stood outside deciding if I wanted to go in. I finally went in. When I got in there I found a sparkling cabin. It was painted silver, and the ceilings had the night sky painted onto it. There were bunk beds along the walls, and there was a spot on the wall for bows and other weapons.
I stepped in further and closed the door. When the door shut there was a blinding bright light that shown through the cabin. I had to close my eyes but once I opened them I saw my mother standing in front of me. She was about the same age as me. She had long black hair and silver eyes.
I just stood there looking at my mother. She still looks like the woman I helped at the mountain. Except she doesn't look like she is dying or waiting to die. I snapped out of my daze and asked her what I needed to ask her.
"Hi mother," I said
"Hello honey," she said
"I wanted to ask you something," I said
"What was it?" she asked
"What is this" I asked. I lifted my shirt and peeled off the bandage. She looked at it with a face full of wonder. She looked back at me and then back at it.
"When Zeus gave you to me and I put my DNA into you I put too much. So instead of you haveing more of Zeus powers and looks you took mine. Your hair turned black like mine. You took my powers which include being great with a bow and being faster, and stronger than others. You also can change into hunted or hunting animals." she told me
"Oh okay," I said. "What did I get from Zeus"
"You got his eyes and some of his powers. You can control lightning, and if you practice you can learn to control storms to the littlest thing like creating clouds. To the biggest of things like creating a tornado." she said
"But none of this explains this," I said pointing to my stomach.
"Because of how much DNA I put into you, you got things I wish you hadn't. When we get injured instead of either having gold blood or red, I bleed silver. You gained that because of how much DNA I put into you" she said
"So it is nothing to be worried about?" I asked
"No, it's not," she said
"Okay, thank you," I said
"You are welcome but I must go," she said
"Ok, bye mother," I said.
The room light up in the blinding light again and I had to shut my eyes again. Once I opened them she was gone. I left the cabin and when I got out I saw that all the campers had come out. The breakfast horn sounded and everyone head to the pavilion. I headed there with all the others.
I continued to sit at the Zeus' table. I still am the only Zeus child that I know of. The only other ones I know of are Jason and he goes to the Roman camp, and Talia but she joined my mother's hunters. I got strawberry lemonade and a blueberry bagel.
