A/N so here it is! The Lost Sword Chapter one Please Review!
Camp Half Blood
Felder, Fawn and Holly made their way to the big house. It was getting a new paint job because the blue was peeling off. The new color would be red. How Felder wished to be playing volleyball with the Hermes campers and not getting ready to find seven half bloods. Seven! He thought. Seven half bloods at once! Little did he know that there would be more than just seven.
Chiron instructed them to go to the big house as soon as Jakob sent the message. There was a Fury at a school which a certain half blood was attending. Jakob, Felder's brother, had been attending the school all year keeping an eye on the half blood. He had found three other half bloods in New York also.
The satyr and the satyresses walked straight into the big house. Mr. D wasn't there today, so the three of them weren't that nervous. Chiron sat in his wheel chair sorting through some paying cards. He looked up when he heard the clopping of the satyrs' feet.
"I suspect the message has been sent?" Chiron asked glancing at me. Jakob had sent the message only minutes before then. The Iris message had said only this. Come now. Send the girls north. The kindly one is getting too suspicious. Quickly! Felder told Chiron what Jakob had said.
"Girls, are you ready?" Chiron asked them shakily. No satyress had ever been sent to find half bloods. Fawn and Holly were honored to be the first.
"Yes," they said in unison. They do that a lot. Some may say it's because they are twins and they think alike.
"Then off you shall go." He said. He pulled out ten necklaces. They were all leather strings. "Give these to each child. They are all over their claiming date so when these touch their necks, they will be claimed instantly and their parents will grant them their weapon. This is very important to get them all here safely." The centaur handed five necklaces to the girls and five to Felder.
"Um, Chiron." Felder stammered. "Why are there ten?"
"Just in case." Was all he said. He paused and his eyes were gleamed over. For a moment he looked ready to cry but everyone knows, Chiron will never cry. Well at least in front of someone. "Now go. You heard your brother. Be quick."
The girls had three half bloods to find: two in Boston, and one in Concord Vermont. Felder and Jakob had four in New York. One was with Jakob, and another was just on the streets somewhere, another was living in a motel just across the river in New Jersey so they counted that as New York, and the last was living with his mom in an apartment near times square.
The only thing the three could think was, why weren't they all claimed at thirteen? It confused them, but they understood completely that arguing wasn't an option.
Fawn and Holly took the direct route for satyrs: The trees. The tree nymphs will get them to wherever they need to go quickly. They said goodbye to Felder when they got to central park.
"This exact spot," Holly said. "We will be back here in twenty four hours. Right here. Got it?"
"Yes, yes." Felder sighed. "I got it!" To Holly, Felder was always one to forget, but Felder thought to himself, not this time. This time is way too important. This only made him even more nervous. The satyresses disappeared in the trees. It was eight thirty in the morning. Felder had thirty minutes to get to the school and find Jakob and Sadie.
After making sure his shoes were on as tightly as possible, Felder scurried off to the road to catch a cab. There was no way he was going to walk the entire way there. He made sure his reed pipes were in his pocket while running; almost wishing he forgot them so he wouldn't have to go through this, but naturally, they were there.
Felder stood on the sidewalks. He only looked about 17 but really, he was almost twice that:30. All satyrs and satyresses looked like this at this age. To mortals it was if they aged slowly. He dug out the wad of mortal cash Chiron had given the three of them and called a taxi by whistling. Nothing came, the open taxis just past him. He called again and waved his hand, again there was nothing. Pedestrians walked by him eyeing him lightly. Felder sighed he hated being improper, so unlike his brother.
"YO TAXI!" He screamed and waved his hand at the next taxi driving by. It skidded to a stop in front of him. Felder stepped in, careful not to catch his shoe on the door frame to expose his hoof. "Goode high school and step on it."
"You late there buddy?" The cab driver asked chuckling and taking the vehicle out of park.
"You could say that." Felder muttered, crossing his arms.
It was the last day of school for all the Goode students and Sadie was late. She had to run through the streets of Manhattan. For some reason, her father stopped her alarm clock before she woke up; thinking yesterday was the last day of school. Sadie was furious, she had a big project due today in Ms. Kosten's class, and she did not want a bad grade because she was late.
Too late. Sadie ran into Ms. Kosten's Social Studies class while she was already talking.
"Ah, Ms. Garsadol," She cooed evilly. "Nice for you to join us. Do you have a slip?"
"No I—" Sadie began to explain, but Ms. Kosten held up her wrinkly hand.
"Stay with me after class Ms Garsadol. Now take your seat." Sadie slumped over to her seat next to her wide eyed crippled friend, Jakob. He looked terrified, but completely calm.
"Dude," Sadie whispered. "Are you all right?"
"Oh yeah," Jakob said perfectly calm not picking his head up from his notes. "Totally fine." He glanced out the window, and at the door. He was shaking his leg slightly.
"I highly doubt that." Sadie mumbled. Jakob was a terrible liar.
"Ms. Garsadol!" Ms. Kosten said very annoyed, "Do you have something you would like to share with the class?"
"No," Sadie murmured.
"I'm sorry? I didn't get that, Ms. Garsadol. Sadie gritted her teeth. She was the only one that Ms. Kosten called by her last name and it was getting annoying.
"No," Sadie said clearly.
"No— what?"
"Oh my god!" Sadie muttered.
"Ms. Garsadol!"
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"
"Step outside young lady." Now it was young lady? Sadie thought to herself standing up. Sadie stomped out of the room, leaving Jakob behind. He stood up.
"Jakob, do you have something to add?" Ms. Kosten growled before stepping out of the room after Sadie. Jakob thought a moment then slumped back in his seat.
Outside Sadie waited with her arms crossed and leaning up against the lockers.
"What are you going to do?" Sadie asked her. "I was already expelled from the school, this is my last day."
"Where is it?"Hissed Ms. Kosten.
"Excuse me?" Sadie stood up straight.
"At least one of the nine of you should know where it is!" She hissed louder. "Where is it?"
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Sadie yelled, and what used to be Ms. Kosten, appeared a wrinkled creature with wings and clawed feet. Sadie stumbled backwards down the hall.
"What the hell?" She muttered.
"Tell me where it is demigod!"
"Leave me alone!" Sadie darted off down the hall. The social studies room door opened and Jakob came out. He began to play music on his reed pipes. Roots grew through the floor and began wrapping the creature. Soon there were two pipes playing. Felder appeared down the hall. At the other end of the long hall, Sadie stopped and turned and her eyes widened as she saw what was happening to Ms. Kosten.
The roots thickened, but in a puff of black smoke the creature disappeared in rage. Sadie just stood there, her mouth was partially open. The two boys ran down the hall towards her.
"What was—" she stammered. "Was that just—I am so dreaming."
"Sadly you're not." The new boy said. Sadie stared at him not having a clue who he was.
"Shut up Felder!" Jakob said. "You're freaking her out."
"Oh I'm past freaked out." Sadie muttered. "I'm at gone crazy."
"There is no time," Felder said. "We have to go. The next one I located is not far from here."
"What the hell just happened?" Sadie demanded. "What is going one?" Felder sighed and glanced at his brother. They shared a quick argument with their eyes by glaring. You start, no you start, no you start, until Felder gave in and began.
"That was a Fury." Jakob kicked his younger brother making his shoe fall of.
"Kindly one," Jakob muttered. Sadie's eyes widened once more at the sight of a hoof instead of a foot on Jakob. "Not, you know. It's kindly one."
"Do you want to explain?" Felder yelled.
"No," Jakob let his head dip.
"I'll explain on the way out." Felder decided and steered Sadie out as the social studies room began to erupt with noise as kids got out of their seats. Sadie wanted to protest, she wanted to demand answers now, but Felder pushed her out the main doors. Jakob pulled his shoe back on and hopped off after us. Sadie's mind was racing, what the hell just happened to her?
Andrew Johnson wandered through the streets of Manhattan. He didn't really care where he was going it was just going to be somewhere away from home and that dragon lady. He shivered at the memory.
With his backpack slung over his shoulder, he looked like a normal kid wandering through New York, but he was much more than that.
Suddenly a cab pulled up next to him and three kids walked stepped out. The girl was nearly pushed out by one of the boys. Andrew stopped in his tracks. The girl crossed her arms.
"Now, can you tell me what's going on?" she demanded to the older boy. Both boys ignored her an turned to me.
"You Andrew Johnson?" The older one asked. The cab they stepped out of pulled away. Andrew nodded lightly.
"You have to come with us."
"What?" Andrew spoke with a annoyed tone. "Who are you?"
"Did a dragon lady or more commonly known as a dracaena come to your school three days ago or did it not?" the guy asked.
"Uh yeah but how do you know-"
"I know a lot of things."
"What are you some FBI agent?" Andrew snapped. Both boys chuckled. The girl just stood there crossing her arms. She had stormy grey eyes and long blonde hair. Andrew instantly felt the need to hit on her.
"No, we aren't." the younger boy said. "We are here to take you somewhere safe. We have to go quickly." he out emphasis on the last word.
"Uh, okay." Andrew stuttered. Now under other circumstances he would have said Hell no! and ran but he had nothing better to do.
"I'm Felder," the younger one said. "That's Jakob, and this is Sadie." Andrew gave Sadie an award winning smile that always worked. She just rolled her eyed at him and looked back to Jakob.
"Two down," Jakob said.
"Two to go." Felder finished. "This way to the other boy's house. Andrew-"
"Call me AJ," Andrew said through his teeth.
"Okay, AJ, you have any idea what is happening?" AJ shook his head. "Good, we can still explain to the others all together."
The two satyrs pushed through the people in front with Sadie and AJ behind them.
"Isn't AJ a girl's name?" Sadie commented after a few moments. Andrew forced himself not to punch the girl.
"No,"
"What does it stand for anyway?"
"Andrew Johnson."
"I like Andrew better. It's a nice name." she concluded. Sadie then thought to herself, did I say that out loud? They both blushed and Sadie became furious with herself.
"Keep up," Felder told us.
"Wait," Sadie said after another few moments of walking. "If this kid is our age, won't he be in school?"
"Nope," Jakob said. "He dropped out early this year. His last day would have been yesterday though."Sadie shrugged.
They made it to little Italy. AJ had memories flood back to him of Italy. Nothing special happened there but it had just been him and his mom then. He shook the memories out of his head.
They made their way down a very long ally way. It went on for a block or two.
"Where are we going?" Sadie asked. She had been through almost every part of New York, as far as she knew there was nothing back here.
"It's a shortcut." Jakob said. Suddenly the ground started to rumble. Sadie fell into Andrew but quickly pushed herself away scowling making AJ smirk.
"Jakob!" Felder yelled in protest. Andrew could have sworn they were brothers.
"Uh," Was the only response they received. Sadie and Andrew both looked around but couldn't see Jakob. Where did he go? Suddenly the ground erupted. Out of the earth flew out a giant lion thing. It had a spiked tail, and a human face, but a lions body. Sadie screamed.
"I have never..." Felder muttered, but his voice trailed off. He held his hands up to the creature and bowed his head slightly. The large lion roared and Felder looked up with terror in his eyes.
"Food!" the missing satyr Jakob muttered from somewhere to the left of the young demigods. To the right Felder stood paralyzed.
Slowly the two half bloods inched their way to the right down the alley. The creature charged at them and the two ran. Felder was pushed aside into a large garbage can. The creature roared with rage.
Sadie had thought up a plan quickly. She grabbed Andrew's hand. He pulled away but she fiercely took his hand again. She wrestled for it just in time to grab the bar.
"Jump!" she yelled, and Andrew obeyed. The pulled themselves up onto the top of the bar. Then they climbed onto the fire escape to their left. They went as high as possible.
Sadie cried out in pain realizing there was a great pain in her arm. She looked over to see a large spike that seemed to come from the tail of the lion sticking out of her arm.
"Oh my god." Andrew said. He put out his hand and reluctantly Sadie put out her arm. She held back tears that burned her eyes. They weren't even noticeable. Without a second thought, AJ pulled out the spike. Sadie had cried out again but sucked it up.
Sadie's head began to throb and her vision blurred. She blacked out.
Someone was outside Drew Taylor's window, no wait two things. One was laying limp on the fire escape; the other was standing up looking down over the rail nervously.
Drew sighed deeply. He got up and picked up his sword. Mortal or not he was going to at least scare them. Drew opened the window making the one boy jump. The guy had the messiest hair Drew had ever seen, it was worse than his, but on the guy it looked almost good. The kid's large green eyes widened at the sight of Drew and his wickedly sharp four foot long sword.
"What are you doing on my terrace?" Drew asked harshly.
"Dude," The boy said. "No need for weapons."
"Your on my property without permission, I can hurt you."
"It's a fire escape. Technically it's the state's property." Drew cursed under his breath. This guy was smart.
Drew looked down at the girl. She had blonde hair that was a little curly and was pretty long. His eyes wandered to her badly bleeding arm and to the large spike in the boys hand.
"Did you just stab her with that? You know they are poisonous." Drew asked the guy.
"What?" then he recognized the spike in his hand. "NO! It was from that!" the guy pointed down to the ally way. What Drew recognized as a manticore, was trying to climb up after them.
"Gods, do I have to do everything around here?" Drew jumped down the fire escape and attacked the large beast.
Meanwhile, Felder was searching for his brother after seeing the half blood's got to safety.
"FOOD!" The missing satyr said giving Felder a clue where his brother lay.
"Shut up!" Felder hissed anyway. "The manticore will come back."
After a few minutes, he found his brother and shook him. He shook again and again, but his brother wouldn't wake. He started to slap his cheek.
"Gods, Jakob!" He muttered. "Wake up!"
"Lion monster thing!" Jakob yelled.
"Shut it!" then his brother recognized what his brother said. "Do you honestly not know the name of that thing?"
"I so do!" the two satyrs brushed themselves off and scurried off in the direction of the manticore. "Isn't it a Griffin?"
"It's the manticore you idiot." Jakob didn't answer.
At the end of the ally. The new demigod was fighting off the manticore.
"That's him." Jakob muttered. "The third demigod."
In moments the demigod took down the beast.
"Where are the other two?" Jakob asked the demigod.
"Who are you?" he demanded.
"The two satyrs that will bring you safely to camp." Felder said.
"I don't want to go to some stupid camp."
"We are on a tight schedule. We need to go. Where are the other two."
"Up there on the fire escape, but- Hey!" the two satyrs were already climbing up.
"You know his parent?" Felder asked his brother.
"Yep," Jakob said. "But he Has yet to be claimed. Oh good he is following us."
Up on the fire escape the two satyrs found what they didn't want to happen.
Sadie lay unconscious on the fire escape. Andrew was staring at the two satyrs asking what the heck were they going to do?
"Will you people just leave?" The boy asked climbing up onto the fire escape.
"We need to keep moving." Jakob said. Felder turned to the boy.
"And you are coming with us." Felder told him. The boy gritted his teeth.
"Don't tell me what to do." He muttered through his teeth.
"Oh well, you're coming." Felder said. I don't think any satyr has ever stood up to a demigod, Felder thought.
"Felder, did you bring ambrosia?" Jakob asked.
"Uh..." He did forget something. "I left it with the girls I think..."
"Felder!" Jakob calmed himself down. He reminded himself to never leave responsibilities in a younger satyr's hands, especially his brother's.
"Well we have to keep moving!" Felder insisted trying to change the subject.
"Well we can't with a wounded half blood that isn't even conscious!" The two satyrs bickered with each other for a few moments. Andrew and the new kid exchanged awkward glances a few times. This was beginning to get out of hand. Drew's mom came up into his room seeing the five of them outside on the fire escape.
"Drew Taylor how many times do I—," His mother stopped short. "Oh great." She muttered seeing Sadie lying on the floor of the escape. The brothers stopped bickering.
"I suspect you're here to take Drew to camp?" The women asked the two boys. They both nodded. "Okay, I have some ambrosia for the girl if you would like it. It seems like you need to keep moving."
"Mom!' Drew protested. "You're just going to let them take me?"
"I told you they were going to come sooner or later!" The women stormed out of the room. The five were silent until the women came back with a small bag of what looked like sugar cubes.
"Here" She handed the bag to Jakob.
"Mom can you at last tell me who my dad is?" Drew insisted, but his mother just shook his head.
"He has to claim you, I can't tell. Now go, I don't want any monsters attacking my house!" Drew's mom stormed out and didn't return.
"Wow," Jakob muttered, pulling a cube out of the plastic bag. "This is really old ambrosia. I am going to guess fifteen years old."
"Oh well." Felder said. "Give it to Sadie and let's get out of here. We still need to find Archlilli." All Drew could think was that, that was a funny name, he couldn't tell if it was a boy's or a girl's name.
Jakob fed Sadie the ambrosia by popping it into her mouth. Her eyes fluttered open. She sat up but instantly fell back down and groaned holding her head.
"Here have another," Jakob said. "It will help, a lot." Sadie took another cube and took it eagerly. She sighed as the pain flowed away from her head and arm. The only thing left on her arm was a small scar and a bit of dried blood.
"Good, let's get moving." Sadie and Andrew followed the brothers down the fire escape. After on last look at his room, Drew reluctantly followed.
"We need to go to Grand Central." Jakob said.
"Why?" Drew asked disgusted. Grand Central was not a very exciting place to him.
"That is where Archlilli is normally. "
"Why would anyone want to hang out there?" Sadie asked, stumbling every few steps. The poison didn't reach anywhere important but she was still a little dizzy.
"Who knows?" Felder muttered. "At least it is still on our way to central park." They all made sure everyone knew each other, and then they were off.
This time they grabbed a cab. With Sadie's condition they couldn't walk all the way there. The funny part was that neither satyr was able to call a taxi. Sadie had sighed and had called the taxi like the true New Yorker she was.
Drew had taken the front seat while the four had squeezed in the back.
"Maybe we should have taken the other taxi." Jakob mumbled as they hit very bad traffic.
"I am not going through that again." Felder said. "Plus one of these kids will probably try to ask for their fate and get themselves killed."
Andrew and Sadie exchanged confused glances. That did not sound good. They were both glad they took the normal taxi instead of the cab they were suggesting.
Grand central came into view finally after forty five minutes. The whole group went down into the station after a while of Felder yelling at the cab driver for the fee through traffic. They eventually left him and he would catch up later.
Sadie was somewhat excited that she wasn't going to be the only girl in their traveling group anymore. She was still most definitely pissed off that she wasn't getting answers to her questions just yet though.
On a bench in a dark corner sat a girl. She had midnight black hair with a blue streak. Her eyes seemed black from where the group stood. They were heavily coated with eyeliner. She was wearing all black: black skinny jeans a black t-shirt and a black jean jacket. She had tons of bracelets covering her arms and one necklace. Jakob instructed the three demigods to sit on the bench and not to move.
Drew, of course did not sit down, and Drew, of course, did not stay put. He was not going to keep taking orders from a dumb satyr. He walked off and sat down next to some old guy and tried not to make eye contact.
Sadie and AJ sat far apart from each other on the same bench. Andrew smirked at her persistence on keeping away from him. Sadie just crossed her arms and looked the other way.
Felder joined Sadie and AJ on the bench and waited for Jakob to return. Felder kept an eye on Drew while he sat there with his sword at his feet. No one seemed to notice the sword as they walked past him. AJ and Sadie were both confused about this. The cab driver didn't notice it either and Drew had been sitting in the front seat.
Eventually Jakob came back with the girl, Archlilli.
"Get one thing straight," she said to us. "I'm Archy, and you are whoever you are. Leave me alone and no one gets hurt." Sadie's excitement for a new girl faded and she suddenly missed being the only girl.
The now group of six, walked out of Grand Central Station. Sadie called another taxi and they made their way to Central Park.
"I am absolutely positive it was this exact spot!" Felder said almost twenty four hours later. The group of demigods groaned. They had been at this all day. Apparently they needed to meet some people who were going to come out of a tree.
"Well," AJ said. "Might as well get comfortable." He plopped himself onto a large patch of grass. Drew followed his example and sat down up against a tree which Archlilli had climbed. Sadie sat down near them all in another patch of grass.
"Wait…" Felder muttered scurrying to another spot. "Maybe it was here…"
Sadie pulled her hair out of a pony tail and let it flow down to its full length. She hadn't done that in a while and it helped warm her from the cool breeze. Sadie was still demanding answers but had stopped bugging Jakob, her former best friend and present creeper.
Andrew sat in the grass looking up at the clouds. It was slowly becoming night. He got comfortable and put his hands behind his head. This was going to take a while, he thought.
Drew wasn't really, well let's say happy with what was happening. He had known about the gods and that his dad was one for a while. He had a pretty good idea who is father was too, but he wouldn't claim him. This wasn't that weird, but he really did not want to leave home. Monsters had attacked before but he had never been taken by two stupid satyrs to attempt to bring him to safety.
Archy did most definitely not like this so far. She had just been pulled from her comfortable bench and brought into this having no clue what was going on. She wanted to demand answers like the Sadie girl was doing, but she didn't want to sound annoying like she was.
After another hour of Felder walking around the park while Jakob and the four demigods stayed, five kids came running over to their group: three girls and two boys.
"Oh gods!" One girl muttered. "We are so so so so sorry we are totally late!"
"HA!" Felder exclaimed making two of the girls that looked like twins jump. "I told you this was the spot!"
"Yeah yeah," Jakob muttered. "We have to go. How many monsters attacked you guys?" One of the twins instructed the three others to go sit with the four demigods.
Reluctantly, they came and sat down with the scattered four. One of the boys sat down next to Sadie. He had dark brown curly hair and deep brown eyes that seemed to be speckled with blue. Sadie moved a bit away from him wrinkling her nose at the smell. The boy smelled of dirty sea water, all the new kids seemed to.
"Don't ask." The boy murmured to Sadie. "I'm Adam."
"I'm Sadie."
All the new demigods exchanged names. The one girl was Charlotte, but she preferred Chuck. She had long brown hair and bronzy eyes. She wore jeans that were ripped like they were clawed at. Her shirt was a faded blue and she had navy blue converse shoes on.
The other girl was Sheanina but preferred Shea. She had black hair that flowed all the way down to her waist with blue highlights. Her eyes were beautiful, anyone would admit it. They were all black but with a light blue outline. She had ripped and faded jeans and a t-shirt that read Got Death?
The half bloods remained silent. No one knew anything yet, they all wanted answers. The only ones that actually knew something, was Drew and Shea. They shared all the information they knew, which wasn't much.
"Wait, so all of us have a mortal parent and a godly parent?" Chuck asked after they were done. "That doesn't really sound possible." The group had formed a circle and was now discussing what they knew.
"It is." Shea said. "Does that hellhound that attacked us before sound possible? Yeah no, but it happened and you almost lost your leg because of it." Chuck instantly covered the large tear in her jeans.
"Wait, you were attacked too?" Sadie asked.
"Yeah, by a hell hound that drove us into the Boston Bay, and then attacked by a Fury that just exploded into black smoke." Adam mumbled.
"Same here!" Sadie exclaimed. "Well to me anyway, but the hellhound for you was a manticore for us. The Fury was my social studies teacher."
"The Fury for us was my physics teacher!" Shea exclaimed.
"Guys!" Holly came over and yelled. "We are in a public place, don't talk about that stuff! And if you need to talk about the…F words… call them kindly ones." The seven demigods laughed a bit. "What?"
"Nothing." AJ assured. Holly didn't really seem reassured but went with it and went back to Jakob, Felder and Fawn.
"Do you think she knows what the F word is?" Archy asked through a small laugh.
"Probably not." Adam said. "I said crap on the way down here and she questioned me on why I just said poop. It was kind of funny."
It was pitch black outside now, and the group had to decide to stay the night in the woods because Sadie still couldn't go very far and Chuck was still limping slightly. They both couldn't risk any more ambrosia. Plus, most we too tired to continue on a long journey.
The seven demigods picked places to sleep. Most of them needed it. The group from up north was even more exhausted. They hadn't been to sleep in more than twenty four hours.
Thalia led the hunters through the streets of New York as unnoticeable as possible. She didn't want to attract a lot of attention to the group so they were off in teams, taking different routes to central park.
Thalia had earlier informed Chiron of the two half bloods she had picked up wandering through the woods near New York. He had told her to bring them to central park where there was a party of demigods waiting to be escorted to camp.
She had decided that her hunters would find the group, and then rest in central park for the night. It would be easier and she may even be able to help the group to camp. Really she just wanted to see Camp Half Blood again. It had been five years sense she was there last, and she was longing to see it again. She heard that the big house was getting another paint job.
It was easy to find the group. The dogs found them easily because of their sent. There were seven half bloods and four satyrs, they weren't hard to miss.
"Thalia?" one satyr asked. She had recognized him as Jakob.
"Yeah it's me and the hunters." Thalia said. "I picked up two demigods, both of them refused to become a hunter. Chiron told me to drop them off with you."
"Uhhh, okay…" Jakob responded. Having seven half bloods was enough, but nine?
"What? The great satyr Jakob can't handle two more demigods?"
"I can so!"
"Good. We will be here until morning… unless you need any help." Thalia was hoping he didn't take it as a joke and said yes.
"No, we are good. Four satyrs, and nine demigods, what could go wrong?" They both thought to themselves, everything can go wrong. They spent the rest of the night in the woods. The two new demigods were sent to sleep with the other demigods and four satyrs.
