Chapter 1
I woke up this one particular morning in Cabin 3, and found my sense of smell greatly heightened. Must be the eucalyptus, I thought. The previous day Chiron had sent me and Annabeth to Mt. Tam to monitor any monstrous action. I climbed out of bed and stretched. I noticed that everything was considerably taller, or I was shorter. Weird, I thought, THIS has never happened before!
Think no further of this interesting predicament; I walked down to the lake for an early morning swim. As I approached the bank of the water, Mrs. O'Leary bounded up to me.
"Can I swim, Can I, can I?" she yelped. Now THIS was weird! I could understand everything the hellhound was saying, when normally all I heard was various barks and yelps.
I stepped into the water and looked down at my reflection. Something was different. VERY different.
I was a DOG!
