Chapter 26
I'm changing the Great Prophecy from the first series from a half-blood of the eldest gods to a child of the eldest gods.
Rebekah's POV
I went down to the beach after the meeting. I still couldn't believe Percy would do that. It seemed my last few years at this awful camp were for nothing.
Sighing I thought about the time before I came here. I had been born to overthrow the gods. Kronos sent my mother to get one of the big three to fall in love with her. When I was born Kronos put a spell on me to age faster, but it still wasn't enough. I turned 16 the day after Percy. Some days I wish I had turned 16 sooner. Then I wouldn't have been on the run. Other days, I'm glad I didn't, the world did not need Kronos ruling it.
After the gods won I escaped. I managed to stay at Camp Jupiter for a little bit, but left when Percy got there. I couldn't risk being near a greek kid. Nico was a different story, I knew he wouldn't tell the gods about me if he found out. I didn't know Percy as well.
I was on the run for years. I couldn't go back to Camp Jupiter, there would be questions of where I went. They might stumble upon something I don't want them to know. I didn't want to go to Camp Half-Blood because the gods might know who I was. It wasn't untill about six years after I left Camp Jupiter that I discovered how to change my appearance. Hey, I'm a young god. I was only seven years old technically.
Since I was able to change my appearance I thought about going to camp, anything was better than living on the run, but it wasn't until I made another discovery that I made plans too. Kronos was rising. I didn't know when he would be fully formed, but I knew I didn't want him to find me. I didn't like the gods, but I hated Kronos so I ran to the nearest camp, Camp Half-Blood.
I changed my appearence, but kept my name. I pretended to be a regular demi-god and was claimed by Poseidon. That caused a stir, I heard whispers about a prophecy. I knew what it was, but pretended to be confused by everything, everything a new demi-god would be. I am quite a good actress actually.
As I got used to camp life I met Hanna. We became friends and she told me stories about my brother, Percy. The demi-god who I had avoided. An idea came into my head as I listened. Percy had defeated Kronos before, perhaps maybe he could help me when Kronos rises. I had already started to have dreams. Dreams were he is trying to force me to join his side. If Percy was still alive he might've been able to help me get rid of him, but no such luck. Percy was still alive, but he had joined Kronos. I knew Kronos would not give up because of that stupid prophecy he thought was about me.
Scowling, I tossed a rock into the ocean. The whole camp probably knew I was a goddess now. It was only a matter of time before the gods figured out who I was. Then I would have to run again, and hope Kronos won't be able to catch me. I didn't notice someone come up behind me untill they sat down beside me.
"How are you?" Luke asked me. I remembered when Kronos was in Luke's body. Every time I'm around him I think of that. Sometimes I think he's still Kronos. I have to remind myself that Luke is not Kronos. Luke is a great guy who takes the time to tell his best friend's little sister stories.
"Fine, I guess," I answered back, still staring at the ocean.
"Is Poseidon really your father?" He asked. I had wondered how long it would take people to ask questions after they found out about me.
"Yes."
"What are you the goddess of?" was his next question.
"I'm kinda a goddess of a few different things. I can tell the future, see things that are off limits to even Zeus, Control water, at least that's what I know of," I explained.
"But, I thought Apollo was the god of prophecy, and Poseidon the god who could control water."
"They are, I'm like a minor goddess. I can control a few of the other gods domains, but I do not know what my domain is. I've been on my own for awhile. The gods I've known have only been using me because of my parents not because of what I can actually do.
"Was your mom on the gods side last time?" he asked.
"No, Kronos ordered her to get one of the big three to fall in love with her. They wanted me to be the child of the prophecy. I turned 16 the day after Percy."
The look on his face turned to relief. Perhaps he had thought Kronos issued the order during the time he was possessed by him. I decided to explaine to him," I was born the year the prophecy was fufilled. Kronos made me age fast so I could reach 16, but it didn't work."
He looked at me in shock," So I issued the order? When he was possessing my body?"
I nodded. Then he realized he had admitted to being Luke," Wait, how did you know I was Luke? I never told you."
"I know things, and you never told people your full code name. I put a few peices together," I explained.
Luke's POV
I stared at Rebekah in shock. She knew who I was, she'd known all along. Yet, even though she knew I hosted Kronos, she still hung out with me.
I finally managed to ask," Why are you hanging out with me if you know I was Kronos?"
She shrugged her shoulders," You weren't Kronos, you hosted him, and I know you changed."
I just stared at her some more. She squirmed under my gaze. Her next words suprised me even more," Stop that before I regret my decision to not give you over to Kronos."
"What?" My focus was back.
She realized what she had said. She seemed to be debating about telling me. She decided and opened her mouth," Kronos offered me a deal. If I gave him you then he would leave me alone."
I remembered what Percy had said "You are not giving them one of my soldiers!" Now it made sense. I wondered why she didn't," Why didn't you?"
"I couldn't do it, besides, Kronos would never keep that promise," She smiled half-heartedly.
"Well thank you," I said to be polite. I wished I could kiss her, but Percy would have my head for that. Then I remembered, Percy was gone, he had betrayed everyone. So I leaned down and kissed her and was happy when she kissed me back.
Trivia: What cohort did Percy join at Camp Jupiter?
