I really shouldn't have been walking thought the cemetery. Yet I was late for my job, working at the hot dog stand in the park. It was a chilly march afternoon, there was frost on the grass and like 20% of the time in New York it was cloudy. But here I was trudging across the graveyard. It was empty except for a few bird in one of the trees.

I was thinking about how my boss would kill me if I was even five minutes late, so I started walking faster. I hoped I wouldn't meet any detours, but boy was I wrong.

At first I though it was a plastic bag, but the orange lump was far to large to be a blowing piece of trash. I jogged over, knowing I would pay dearly for this. As I got closer I realized it was a person, a girl with honey blond hair who looked to be roughly seventeen, lying on the ground. At first I thought she was dead but as I got closer, I noticed the unsteady rise and fall of her chest.

" Can you hear me" I said as I shook her shoulder. She moaned but didn't move. Her orange shirt was in tatters it had black writing on the front but all I could make out was "Camp". the holes showed several cuts on her back, side and legs. She was wearing jeans with holes it it and around her neck was a leather necklace with clay beads on it.

I tried again to wake her with no luck. She just moaned and didn't move. I pulled out my phone and dialed 911. After three ring the attendant picked up. "911, what is your emergency." A pleasant female voice said.

"Hello, I am here in the Brookside Cemetery on Long Island, and umm there is this girl who is unconscious, and she has bad cuts on her back and side. And uhh she looks about seventeen but I can't find any form of identification on her."

"Alright sir about where are you in the cemetery."

"Uhh I am just of the road about 300 yard from the north entrance."

"Ok sir, what is you name."

"Ryder Dougs."

"Please stay with the girl until paramedics arrive and call if there is any change"

"Bye," I hung up and turned around. How was I going to explain this to my boss? I stood up and looked around I noticed something about 20 yards away. At first it looked like something metallic but as I got closer it turned out to just be a stick. I went back to the girl and noticed something in her hand. I found a beaded necklace like the one she was wearing execpt this one only had 5 beads.

The first was black with a blue trident. The next was red with gold sheep in it. The third had a maze carved in it. The fourth was was a small drawing of the empire state building, with many names surrounding it. The last was half-orange half- purple, with a gold statue in top of it.

I looked at the girl's necklace and the last 5 beads matched the 5 in the other necklace. Her necklace also has a bead with a pine tree carved in it, one etched with an owl, and another that looked like a horse wearing a prom dress. There also was a faded college ring and a piece of coral on the leather strap.

I looked around hoping to catch a glimpse of the ambulance, but something caught my eye. There, about five feet away, was a grave stone with the same symbols as the necklace. I got closer and read "Perseus Jackson." He had died only 3 months ago on December 21st. He had been only 17. I suddenly heard sirens far away. The paramedics were coming.

I looked at girl looking at how pretty she was and I realized that wanted to find out how this girl had gotten here. I made a split second decision to take her necklace. I don't know why I did it but I know it would be important to finding her again. I stuffed both necklaces in my pocket and glanced down the road to see the ambulance coming. I quick told them my story and hurried away, grasping the necklaces in my pockets.
