The Army of Chaos

My Name

Zoe’s P.O.V.

“You know what I mean.” I tell her.

The look in her eyes tells me that she knows what I mean.

“I really don’t.” She tells me. Her eyes are focused on the ground.

Lies.

I look over at Percy and notice that he also knows that she’s lying. So does the rest of our friends.

“Look me in the eyes and tell me that.” I say.

“I can’t see your eyes.” Was her reply.

“Then look up and tell me. If you look close enough you will find them.”

“I can’t.” She says finally looking up.

“Do it.” I demand.

I hate this daughter of wisdom so much it’s not even funny.

How could she do this to my family.

“You know who I am.” I say.

“Maybe I do.” 

“Then say it. Say my name.” I tell her.

“No.” She says forcefully.

“Why are you scared?” 

“No I just can’t believe it’s you.” 

“Well, it is.”

“No. She didn’t hold so much anger.”

“Say my name.”

“No it’s not you.”

“Why wont you say it?” I ask.

“Names are a powerful thing.” She says

“Thank you fir stating the obvious.”
“If I say your name, how does that benefit me?”

“Still a daughter of wisdom I see.” I comment.

“Always ” She says.

“Well, you get to know my true identity if you guess right.” I say.

“But it isn’t you.”

“Why do you say that?” I ask.

“Because the girl that saved my life isn’t anything like you.” She says.

“You are wrong. This is me.” I say.

“If it is you then you have changed.”
“I haven’t changed. It’s just what anger does to you.”
“What?”
“You hurt the people that I love, therefore you made me angry. So, my attitude towards you has changed.”
“Who did I hurt that you love?” She asks me. I could tell she was starting to get annoyed, well so was I.

I walked closer to her so that our faces were close together I could tell she was a bit scared, but if I tell the truth I was a bit scared too.

Why was I scared?
Well I may be a warrior of Chaos but this daughter of wisdom is very good with that dagger she owns. Plus if she found out that Percy was here she could take him away from me, they have more history together than we do. 

“Star.” Percy said, his voice was low and sounded like a warning. I realized what has been happening. 

I let my nerves get the better of me.

I dared her to tell them my real name.

I practically told her my real identity.

I was pretty much challenging her knowledge.

And I just revealed my identity.

My feet carried me to the other side of the room where Percy and the rest of our friends were standing. 

I returned to my previous position with Percy’s arm wrapped around my waist. We just stood there. Annabeth was looking at me, you could almost see the gears turning in her head through her eyes.

After a few moments the gears stopped turning.

Realization crossed her face.

Her body became less tense.

She opened her her mouth, I knew what was coming next.

I was prepared.

I challenged her did I not?

Well since I was the challenger then I should have a plan.

And I do.

But no amount of training could prepare you for this. No matter how long and hard you train nothing can make you ready for the first time that it’s spoken from the place you first called home.

And just like I had predicted she said it...

Promise that in the next chapter SECRETS will be REVEALED O_o .
