Chapter 12(Nico's POV)
I've seen many disturbing things in my sixteen years, but none as disturbing as this.

"Demigods, you might need to write this down. Cause it's one hell of a prophecy." She smiles creepily.

Yes, Alex is still possessed.

Then suddenly, her face looses all playfulness as she recites the prophecy.

The chosen one,
One out of millions.
Like none other summoned,
Created from two shattered laws.

Saving both gods and monsters,
Keeping the world in balance.
The Chosen one's place,
Is not to be of hindrance.

Find thy puzzle's missing pieces,
All around a world tour.
And reveal what it is,
Love overcomes all war.

Hurry up now,
Time's almost up.
Winter solstice,
The world blown up.

A demigod of two fathers,
A child very rare.
And rids thy world of a bother,
The Alexander Dare.

I look at the girl in front of me. The Chosen one. She's so tiny. I could break her effortlessly. How is she supposed to save the gods? And the monsters? Keep the world in balance?

I clear my head from all thoughts. I can't deal with this now. I rush to her side just as she collapses. She isn't unconscious, but she's acting drunk.

"Is it me or is it hot in here." She asks me. She doesn't wait for an answer, but instead moves to remove her shirt. I shove her hands away and carry her bridal style to the Apollo cabin.

Throughout the walk, she kept singing Old MacDonald. And when she ran out of animals, she made up her's.

I mean, what's a Falaloopee.

"Will Solace!! Get over here now!!" I yell. Immediately a blue eyed blonde stalks over looking smug.
"Wassup?" He comes towards me beaming. I roll my eyes at him and we both enter the cabin.

It was more bearable since she passed out, though.

Alex's POV
Everything hurts. I feel like I'm on fire. That actually reminds me of that one song-
"This girl is on fire!!" I don't know why I sang it out loud. It just happened.
"Thank the gods, you're awake." A familiar voice says. Ah, so that happened. In Nico's eyesight.

"You didn't see anything." I threaten, glaring at him. He rolls his eyes and chuckles. He then settles next to me.
"Are you all right?" He asks. I look at him confused, "I'm good, but are you all right?"
He frowns, "What do you mean?"
"You're looking at me like I'm a mental patient when I'm perfectly fine!" I say with a sing song voice.

Just as I finish that sentence, Will comes in. Nico then turns to him with a frown.

"She doesn't remember."
Will rolls his eyes, "Of course,she doesn't remember. She was possessed, nobody ever remembers being possessed."

"Possessed?!" I exclaim, "Without my permission?! Well that's just damn rude." I huff folding my arms. Nico scoffs, "You're definitely not normal."

"Soo Alex, do you wanna know what happened?"
I nod slowly wondering, do I really want to know?

" You were possessed by the Oracle of Delphi, which isn't supposed to be possible. Then you spouted some prophecy about destroying the gods and monsters and probably the world." He says shrugging.

  I sigh, "Look Nico, I know it was wrong to spray paint 'I love Barbie' on your cabin door, but playing a prank like this," I pause to catch my breath and place my hand on his shoulder. "That's just cruel." I finish.

    Nico rolls his eyes at my magnificent speech, "Alex, we're not playing pranks here. This is real. We are... Wait what?"

  My eyes widen and I laugh nervously, getting ready to bolt at his glare. "I'm just messing with ya." I say unconvincingly. His eyes narrows and he parts his lips to say something when he is interrupted by Will.

"I will not waste my Monday morning watching the both of you bickering!"
  I glance at Nico one last time before freezing.

Did he say Monday?!

I run into my cabin screaming, I have a fight at two forty five and I'm not at all prepared. I push Percy out of the bathroom and try to give myself a pep talk. Two thirty, I'm at arena pacing and fearing for my life.

"And I thought the newbie would ditch me." A gravelly voice says. I frown, trying to look intimidating.

Behind her, there is a large crowd I know I did not invite. Clarisse gives me a shove to the center circle, "Let's get started."

We circle each other, searching for weaknesses. Clarisse makes a lunge for me, but I dodge her. She turns to me fury in her eyes, and I just can't help myself.

"Aww, is the wittle kitty getting angwy?" I taunt her with a smirk. I never liked cats. I guess I'll never like Clarisse. She lunges at me again. For the next five minutes it's blur of punches and kicks and we both have bruises. Mine more than hers. And I'm becoming more pissed by her constant energy and punches.

   She lands a punch to my jaw, and I growl. Loudly. She holds me up by my neck and suddenly, I'm not in total control over my body. Bones start snapping and excruciating pain blinds me for a second. Fur spurts from my pore, my teeth become sharper, ears longer and I grow a tail.

I growl louder at her and snap my jaw at her hand holding me up. She retracts her hand horrified and staggers back. I pounce on her and pin her, my body too heavy for her too struggle at her state.

After three seconds, the crowd cheers and now I'm in full control over my body, but I'm still a wolf. And I'm freaking out!!

  I bark and run, looking for Percy. I find him walking to our cabin. I bark and whimper trying to get his attention, once I do he looks at me in disbelief.

"What do you want girl? You're not supposed to be here." I keep barking and try to act what happened. But I'm terrible at charades.

"Percy!!" It's Annabeth, "The wolf in Alex. She's a shape shifter."

'She's right!' I wanted to say, but all that came out was,

"Bark! Bark!!"
