Percy Jackson: The Light Bringer

Secret Meeting Of Betrayal

   Yesterday was... a handful.

   I was woken up from my nap when Andromeda started stirring. I quickly called out for the Apollo campers. 

   Hearing me, Will came in. Upon seeing me, he stopped all of a sudden. He looked at me and then at Andromeda, clearly afraid of coming near me, but having an obligation to check on Andromeda.

   I sighed. I walked out of the room, much to Will's relief and made my way towards the stables.

   It was getting dark now and the dinner horn should be sounding any second now. I was proven right when I heard the conch horn signalling dinner. 

   I made my way to my table. When I was about to sit, I noticed Annabeth and the other counsellors along with the newly made gods walking towards the big house along with Chiron.

   Naturally, I was suspicious and decided to follow them. 

   I know, I know....it's weird sneaking behind people...

   But after reading so many fanfictions, I have to be suspicious.

   I saw them enter the big house and I slowly made my way towards the window. Inside I saw them arguing with each other. Chiron was looking at them with irritation.

   I tried to listen to what they were saying. But I doubt even they could hear what each other were saying over all the arguing. Chiron stomped his foot, or hoof whatever, silencing them.

   "Annabeth, please...speak your mind" he said. Annabeth stood and cleared her throat and spoke "Chiron, this is about Perseus" 

   I froze upon hearing my name. I listened closer.

   "He is working with the enemy. I found various blueprints and reports in his cabin. I had suspected him of treachery since the second Titan war. And after the mysterious powers he displayed in today's battle, I took it upon myself to look through his belongings." She said holding many scrolls and maps.

    Man, I didn't know anyone could lie as good as her.

   Chiron looked thoughtful. "Does anyone believe that Percy is innocent" he asked, with what I think was ... hope in his eyes?

   I smiled. I knew Chiron was wise and would see right through that lie.

   No one said anything. Though many were looking unsure. The betrayal hurt me. I trusted them and they take that trust and stomp it under their foot.

   I didn't expect everyone to object...but not even one? Ouch.

   Chiron looked down defeated. He then turned towards Annabeth. "As convincing as this is, we need more if we are to accuse the Two Time Saviour of Olympus." said Chiron. I chuckled at this.

   Why can't everyone be like Chiron.

   Annabeth looked enraged. "Be careful centaur. I am the goddess here". Chiron looked hurt , but looked at her in determination.

   "That may be, Lady Annabeth. But remember who raised you. You may exceed me in power, but my word is final here." He said. Annabeth looked coldly at him for a few seconds. Eventually she just turned and sat down, not before giving a smirk, which did not go unnoticed by me.

   Moments later, I heard someone running toward the big house. I hid in a nearby bush, careful not be visible. I heard the big house door open and someone run in. 

   I looked back through the window and saw a blonde girl. Her clothes were in tatters and she had various wounds that were bleeding.

   "Help..." she said before falling. Chiron rushed towards her. He lifted her and placed her on the ping-pong table.
