Chapter 5

I sped off to the common room as soon as the feast ended. I was so embarrassed! I mean, everyone was staring at me. Everyone! I sobbed on my bed so no one would hear. Dumbledore, bless his soul, had decided to give me my own room- for training. A big 4-poster bed lay in the corner, with a window and Gryffindor pillows on the windowsill lay. A rack with weapons lay behind my bed against a wall, and targets were set up. I furiously threw knives against a target. Nina, the head counselor, would kill me if I went out of form. I threw it onto the targets. Bam! Bam! It hit every target. I sobbed, breaking down. I wanted to forget Mrs. Smith, forever! I huddled into a ball, sobbing. Why? Why me? I broke down. I then saw an IM of Annabeth. She smiled, and looked at my state. "Are you okay, Annabelle?" "No," I sobbed. She looked alarmed.

"We found a new camper- Percy Jackson! Anyways, he is a child of Poseidon, isn't he like your cousin? No, gods don't have DNA...."

I perked up. I could feel a tingle when she said Percy Jackson.

"Anyways, we need you to come. Talk to your headmaster, Dumb as a door, to let you come here."

"Okay," I sniffed.

I ended the IM. I then packed my stuff, and went to the gargoyle. I took out my dagger, and aimed it at its throat. "Move," I said dangerously. "Unless you want to become wet cement." It looked alarmed, and it spranged to the side.

"What do you want to ask me, Ms. Riddle?"

I shifted my feet. "I NEED to go to America. Please, Professor Dumbledore!"

"Okay," he said, his eyes twinkling. "You can use the floo."

"The loo?" I asked, saying, "Why would I need to use the bathroom?"

"Oh no, you misheard me. The floo, just put it over you and say Camp Half-Blood!"

I grabbed some soot and threw it down. "Camp Half-Blood!"

I brushed some soot off of my clothes. I looked at Annabeth, and I sprang to hug her.

"Okay, okay!"

I smiled. There was a gorgeous boy with green eyes and startling black hair. He was tall, and a bit tan, and looked like he was on the verge of getting new muscles. Man, he was hot!

"This is Percy Jackson," she said.

I smiled. I really liked Percy- what was I saying?

Annabeth led me to Chiron.

"Back so soon. Annabelle?"

I smiled. Annabeth slinked away. "Percy," Chiron said. "Zeus and Poseidon are fighting. Zeus's lightning bolt is stolen."

"By who?" Percy looks confused.

"By whom?" Chiron corrects. "By you."

Percy was about to tell Chiron about his innocence. Chiron held his hand up, and continued.

"He thinks that you, a hero, stole it. That is why you must go on a quest. Most would agree that thievery is not Poseidon's style, but he is too proud to say anything about it. Gods cannot actually steal other's powers of symbol. Zeus thinks that you stole it. Now, who would gain territory from the fight?

"Hades," we said in sync.

"Yes," he said. "The god in the west."

When Percy came back from the oracle, he recited,

"You Shall Go West, and Face the God Who Has Turned

You Shall Find What Was Stolen and See it Safely Returned."

I frowned. Prophecies weren't usually this short. As we were going, Luke came to us. He gave Percy a pair of flying shoes. Phoeey, I could do that with a spell! Speaking of which- I- I got permission from the MoM that I could do magic- whenever I wanted. So they couldn't track me. Percy gave his shoes to Grover, who tried to do it, but ended up looking like a possessed lawnmower. It was hilarious. Percy told me the real prophecy:

"You Shall Go West, and Face the God Who Has Turned

You Shall Find What Was Stolen and See it Safely Returned.

You Shall be Betrayed by One Who Calls You a Friend

and You Shall Fail to See What Matters Most in the End."

I wondered what kind of friend it was. I hoped it wasn't Grover or Annabeth... or me. As we went out of the car, I looked at Percy's gorgeous body. I tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek and walked away.

A/N I know this isn't exactly but I don't have the book in front of me... so... I know that she kissed Percy, but I changed her to be not a daughter of Poseidon, so bear with me.
