The Hero Gone Wrong

Chapter 5

"Psst. Percy!"

"Percy!"

"Dude! How are you still asleep?"

Truth be told, I wasn't asleep. I just didn't want to get up. So I smacked Luke in the face.

"Dudeeee!" He groaned.

"Sup Luke?" I sat up.

"Not funny." He said, holding his now bleeding nose.

I didn't think I smacked him that hard. Guess I didn't know my own strength.

"Get dressed." He threw clothes at me. A bright orange t-shirt and jeans, almost the same as he wore yesterday, but his had the words "Camp Half-Blood" on it.

I quickly got dressed and walked out to have a piece of toast thrown at me.

"Breakfast!" Luke called cheerfully.

I ate the toast, making sure to glare at Luke the whole time. Which he ignored.

"So what are we doing?" I asked as Luke led me down the maze of hallways.

"Spying!" He grinned.

I had only known Luke for a week now, but I had already learned not to question him.

(Yes there was a slight time skip and Percy got over the kidnapping thing)

"Uh, who are we spying on?" I asked, slightly nervous.

"Camp Half-Blood." He replied, "I need to check if they're going to do that quest."

"Quest?"

"Yeah. Did I not tell you what happened?"

I shook my head.

"Oh. Zeus's master bolt was stolen. Sort of. I stole it, and Hades' helm of Darkness, but anyway, I gave it to Ares. Zeus thinks you stole it. That's why we took you. Zeus would kill you if he saw you." He looked me dead in the eye, "The gods are our enemies. Percy, just stay with us and you'll be safe."

I nodded slowly, "Zeus would kill over one lightning bolt? That's kinda pathetic."

"Right!" Luke said, suddenly going back to being cheerful.

***

Honestly, I was surprised when we took a taxi like normal people. I remembered when I took a taxi with no thought, but now I found myself staring at everything.

We passed a kid walking his dog, and I couldn't help but stare.

I stared at every passing restraunt and every passing school.

Luke suddenly leaned over, "Dude, stop acting so clueless! Don't give yourself away!"

Oops.

I nodded and tried to keep my eyes off the passing buildings as we drove.

***

The first time I saw Camp Half-Blood, I thought I was going crazy. The place looked so nice, how could it be the home of our enemies?

"Are you sure?" The driver asked as we pulled up, "These are just rhe strawberry fields. Nothing special."

Luke grinned, "Yeah. Let us out here."

"Pay up."

Luke sighed and handed him a 20, "Hope that's enough, cause it's all I got."

The driver grumbled but let us get out then drove off.

Luke's mood suddenly turned bad. "Welcome to Camp Half-Blood!" He said bitterly, "The place where everything is perfect and good."

I gave him a weird look, then decided he was using sarcasm.

I started to walk up the hill but he stopped me, "Hecate taught me something. I'm gonna try it on you, so don't freak out."

He muttered some spell, and then I disappeared.

I totally didn't scream.

"Dude! Shhh!" Luke whisper-yelled. "I think I'm the only one who can hear you, but we don't want to freak the campers out.

I nodded (though he couldn't see) and followed.

"I gotta go see the Hermes Cabin, then I was appointed as a sword fighting teacher. Snoop around and see if you can get any information." Luke whispered, walking off.

The first place I went to was a large blue house. I planned to go in, but the figures I saw on the front porch.

"Chiron! We have to have a quest!" A girl said. She had blond hair and gray eyes. She looked angry.

I didn't know how important she would become later.

I walked closer and looked at who she was talking to. My heart nearly stopped.

Sitting next to the girl was a boy who looked about my age with curly reddish brown hair. He spoke and it took all my willpower not to yell his name.

Sitting in front of me was Grover Underwood, my former best friend.

I realized I hadn't thought about Grover recently. I realized how shocked he must've been when I suddenly disappeared.

"Chiron, we need to find Percy. You said he would be powerful." Grover sighed, "Where did I go wrong? He was my best friend. How could I let this happen?"

Chiron AKA Mr. Brunner sighed, "Grover. It is not your fault. No one could've predicted what would have happened. After all, whatever side he is on, the prophecy is about him."

The girl looked shocked, "The great prophecy?"

Chiron nodded, "Yes. Now Annabeth, please go to the Oracle and get a prophecy for the quest of the stolen lightning bolt.''

I kind of wished I could help, after all, I knew the lightning thief, but I was also known as the lightning thief.

That's confusing.

The girl, whose name was apparently Annabeth, went inside the house and up the stairs.

Me, being the Seaweed Brain (hehe) I am, followed her into the attic where the Oracle stayed.

So, chapter 5. What do you guys think?

I want to let everyone know that I am fixing some stuff in the first chapter, so if it says I updated chapter 1 or something, it just means I'm editing, and don't freak out.
