Curiosity Vol. 1 [Percy Jackson Next Generations]

VII

Benjamin Solance-Di Angelo 

"Where to first."

'Were finally getting somewhere,' I thought

I smiled looking at Jessie, "Well, It is Jessie's quest, where to next?" 

I saw the sweat beaming from Jessie's forehead, "I kinda don't know-"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!?!" Zoe yelled getting ready to strangle him

"Calm down," I stated, "Jessie what do you mean you don't know?"  

Jessie took a deep breath, and then another one. "I just relized, that's not the prophecy." 

We all stood there for about a minute before Zoe spoke up, "I'm going to kill you." 

She started to strangle Jessie until Emily finally pulled her off, "What do you mean?!" 

"Well, it is the prophecy, just not the right one." 

"Care to explain?"

"Wait!" Emily stopped us, "I remember now," 

"Huh?" we all said including Jessie

*Flashback* Emily Zhang 

My dad and I were practicing before he got a call.

"I'll be right back," he told me

'Yeah right,' I thought. "Okay." 

A few minutes passed and he still wasn't back. 'Maybe I could take a quick look,' I thought. 

I walked to where my father was standing behind the door. 

"Can you tell me it?" I heard him ask

"Yeah," a man's voice was heard, it sounded familiar. 

"Can you put it on speaker?" I heard my mom ask

"Yeah one sec," my father responded, "There"

"There were two prophecies," the man said

"What?" My father continued, "Which one is the  one?" 

The man paused, "We don't know," he continued, "These prophecies are older than me." 

My father laughed, "You're not that old." 

"Thanks, anyway both prophecies start with the same few lines." 

"What do you think it means?" My mother asked

"Who knows." 

"What are the prophecies anyway?" 

"A legacy of the king shall find a legacy of the sea.

The two shall go west to find a key.

Find three more and their quest begins to save who they value most before the end.

One secret they take to the grave shall come up again. May they come back as one shall be the choice of their own before the end." 

"Well, that sounds great," my father continued "Whats the-" My dad was cut off, "Jason?" 

"Hey I gotta go, Jessie was listing to our conversation." 

'Loser,' I thought

'Better get going I,' I thought while running back to the training arena. 

*Timeskip over*  Benjamin Solance- Di Angelo 

"You didn't think to tell us that?" I yelled

Emily shrugged, "I forgot." 

Esperanza looked at here, "That mistake could have killed us." 

"Hey, I still remembered it."

"Anyway whats the real one?" 

"I never found out," I continued, "A few days later my dad left for some odd reason my mom went with him."

"Did you get the other one, Jessie," I asked

"No...." 

"So any plans?" I asked

"Well, we could go to Camp Half-Blood and go get it," Emily noted

"Yeah, but Jessie is being hunted by both camps," Zoe  added

"Both Camps?!" Esperanza yelled

"Yep." 

"Well, we could send people who haven't been to camp," I continued, "And since our parents are all somewhere it all works out." 

"Well, who goes?" Esperanza asked

"Zoe and-"

"Me?" Zoe continued, "Why me?" 

"Well, you haven't been to camp,"  I said 

"Yeah, it makes sense," Esperanza noted

"Well, Zoe and Esperanza."

"Why me?" 

"Because you also haven't been to camp." 

Jessie looked at Esperanza, "Yeah, makes sense." 

I could feel her hate for him where I stood, it'll take her a while but she'll warm up to him, I mean Esperanza sorta has and she hates most men, well in Jessie case boys.
