Percy POV
I woke up in a strange white room. I looked around me. the rest of the seven were there, and so were Thalia and Nico. What happened? One second we were all on the beach (well, except for Thalia, Jason, and Nico, who all stayed well away from the sea line) and now we were all here. All I remember is a white cloth coming over my mou-crap. We were drugged. I shot up. I saw other people stirring and noticed Piper was awake.
"where in Hades are we?" I asked. A couple more people sat up. I noticed each of us had an orange shirt and a pair of jeans at the end of our beds. Same orange as our camp half blood shirt, but had a set of crosshairs on it and it had a word that looked like hucreb. Stupid dyslexia. I looked outside. it was like a giant mix of camp halfblood and camp Jupiter. kids with military haircuts played sports or were studying books in the sun. We all got changed and stumbled out into the hallway.
"excuse me, but we're ne-" Annabeth started
"can't talk to orange" said the passing boy. Annabeth looked taken aback. The same thing happened with several other people before we heard more footsteps. This time, they were heavier. We looked at eachother. A man in a white shirt turned the corner. I uncapped riptide, Thalia's bow and arrows and Nico's sword materialized. Jason flipped his coin. Everyone else pulled out their weapons.
"Oh dear, demigods" he said, surprised and worried at the same time.
"Where are we and what do you want" I growled
"Mac will explain all that, I just need you to follow me" We all stared at him "We won't hurt you" we all looked to Annabeth, because she can usually tell if someone is lying. She nodded and put down her knife. We all followed the man. We went up an elevator and past a desk. On the walk to the office, we passed by classrooms, with people speaking fluent spanish and others with very complicated math problems on the board, being shown to ten year olds. We passed by people playing a ridiculously non-competitive football game and an arena with people fighting with knives, and the occasional sword. I nudged Annabeth and pointed to that arena. She smiled.
"We are going to own that arena" she whispered.
We entered an office. The white shirted man bowed to an old/middle aged man.
"Welcome, welcome, have a seat" The man said in a scottish accent, guiding us with his hand towards the fireplace. There was one chair.
"Umm..." I started. Everyone looked at each other. I was silent for almost 3 seconds before everyone bolted for the chair. Annabeth, being the only smart one, dragged out the chair from under the desk and sat down, while we all fought for the cushy chair. After Leo got tossed into the fireplace multiple times, and amazed Mac because he didn't die, Thalia got the chair, and everyone else got a little zap. Everyone else sat on the floor. Everyone else was smart. Everyone else did not include me, because everyone else didn't got zapped another 10 times. Once we all settled down, Mac started.
"I am Doctor Terrence McAfferty, but everyone here calls me Mac. I am the chairman here. You are at Cherub, an institute for agents of the British Intelligence." he stated. British? How did we get to England? We all started to say something, but he cut us off.
"Save the questions for the end please. Your camp director, Chiron, has agreed to send you here, for reasons we will go over after you go through basic training. Only that white shirted man, Henry, and I know of your origins, and I made him swear to secrecy. So, what do you think of Cherub?"
"It's so beautiful" said Piper
"The architectu-" Annabeth started
"NOPE" we all yelled, and clamped our hands over her mouth. I really didn't want to get her started on architecture.
"So what do you think joining? There are certain requirements, like physical fitness" We all smiled "and academics." Ours smiles soon turned to laughter.
"aca, acad" Leo said, while trying to hold his laughter. We were all laughing, except for Annabeth, who just rolled her eyes
"Yes, I understand that academics might be a bit of a struggle for most of you, but we want you to try. You will have to pass at least 3 of 5 tests. Now, Chiron told me that you're demigods, and that almost all of you are ADHD and dyslexic, but he didn't go much into detail. Please introduce yourselves." He nodded towards Annabeth.
"I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, goddess of Wisdom. Do you want all our titles?" Mac nodded. I groaned.
"Ok" Annabeth said. "head counseller of cabin 6, I helped retrieve Zeus' master bolt, navigator of the sea of monsters, fooler of Polyphemus, bearer of the sky, navigator of the labyrinth, helper to defeat Kronos, hero of the battle of Manhatten, finder of Jason, helper to build the Argo 2, Bearer of the mark of Athena, finder of the Athena Parthenos, defeater of Arachne, wanderer of Tartarus, defeater of way to many monsters, bearer of way to many other titles, bane of Gaea, and a hero of Olympus"
Mac looked in awe. He pointed towards Frank, who after saying all his titles, turned into a bulldog, Jason and Thalia zapped holes in the roof, which Leo quickly fixed (with nothing other than duct tape) Leo sat in the fireplace after explaining his titles. Piper charm spoke to quite a few people, Hazel made all Mac's gold knick-knacks hover, and Nico rose some dead. Then it was my turn.
"Perseus Jackson, but just call me Percy. Son of Poseidon, the sea god. Umm.. ok," I took a deep breath "head counseller of cabin 3, defeater of waaaaaaaaay to many monsters, Including all three gorgons, the minotaur twice, and the mother of all monsters, uh, retriever of Zeus' master bolt, defeater of the war god, Navigator of the Sea of Monsters, retriever of the golden fleece, defeater of Polyphemus, Finder of Nico and... yeah" I ended when Nico glared at me "defeater of Atlas, bearer of the sky, navigator of the labyrinth, blower-upper of a very important ship of the enemies, I helped defeat Kronos, refuser of immortality, student of Lupa, member of the 5th cohort, retriever of the 5th cohort's eagle, wanderer of Tartarus, far too many other titles, bane of Gaea, and a hero of olympus"
Mac's jaw dropped. He stared. And stared. And stared. And kept staring until it got kinda creepy. Finally, he regained his posture.
"Well, on to the admission tests"
Hi everyone! Please review because this is a very small fandom, and even a view will make my day, but a review, well, I might have tears of joy. And a follow of favourite could cause me to faint.
