Ch 5- A Prophecy Twice Written: A KOTLC x PJO fic

Instructions

CH 5 Annabeth Annabeth checked her watch for the third time in ten minutes, scanning the wide-open clearing in Central Park she had designated in the letter. The other counselors had quickly decided that Annabeth and Percy should go, as they had larger responsibilities back at camp. She knew the "others" would likely be confused, but she hadn't expected the air to suddenly start shimmering like a broken prism right next to a startled squirrel. She and Percy stepped back, and Percy slowly reached back for Riptide, as 2 figures shone in a glow of light that disappeared as fast as it had appeared. “Well,” said Percy, “I’m guessing /these/ would be our new friends.” There were 2 figures, a shorter girl with long blonde hair in a red T- shirt and shorts, and a taller blond boy in a Batman T- shirt and jeans. They looked around for a bit, seeming not to be able to find Percy and Annabeth, so Annabeth waved them over, and they were quickly spotted. “So,” started the boy, “I assume you two would be the half gods?” Percy smiled. “Thats us, alright. And are you guys humans with teleporting powers, or something completely new?” “Elves, actually.” “Oh, so are you from-” he glanced at Annabeth “- where is your cousin’s friend from?” “Alfheim,” Annabeth said quickly. “No, we are from the Lost Cities.” Said the girl. “Is Alfheim another kingdom of Elves?” “Well, it’s a long story, but more of a full world.” “Wow! That is some very interesting information!” “I just realized,” the boy cut in, “We haven't even introduced ourselves. As much as I don’t like revealing my identity immediately, I’m afraid that pesky prophecy has already decided we like each other enough to work together.” Percy groaned. “You two have no idea how much I hate prophecies. Anyway, I’m Percy.” “And I am Annabeth,” added Annabeth “Well, I am Keefe,” said the boy, “and my little friend here is Foster.” “Sophie will do, thank you,” said ‘Foster’, rolling her eyes. “Have you guys been able to get anything figured out in the prophecy?” asked Annabeth, wasting no time. “Well, I hadn’t had too much before-” Started Sophie “Lies.” Cut in Keefe “But now that we are talking,” She said, talking over him, “I think I understand a lot more. The first lines about being given twice and two worlds, I think we have covered. We both received the prophecy, and Keefe and I are from the world of light. I assume you two are from the world with the gods. The next part, there's going to be a ‘shadow’ that's going to arise-” “And be a mix of the two worlds!” added Annabeth. “Exactly.” “And then the last part is the whole choice and working together thing.” Finished Percy Keefe sighed. “Well, as much as I hate to interrupt, because I can feel that you guys are happy, excited, and kind of satisfied right now-” “You can feel /what/?” “Long story, I’ll explain next time, butI know at least one of us here- I’m looking at you, Foster- has a veryyy overprotective bodyguard who specifically said no longer than exactly 11 and a half minutes, otherwise he will assume we have been kidnapped, so we should probley say come back in two days, with more people if we want.” Sophie sighed. “I guess you are right, but-” She was cut off by a small explosion sound coming from toward the southern side of the park. Percy and Annabeth immediately faced toward the noise, drawing their weapons. “Do you fight, or do you need to get back?” Asked Percy quickly. Keefe and Sophie exchanged glances. “Sandor will have to wait,” said Sophie with a sigh, and the 4 teens took off.
