Eloise Montgomery was sick of people saying that they felt sorry for her. She was depressed enough about her best friend/cousin/foster sister, Rosalie 'Rosie' Murray, running away. Everyone's sympathy only made her feel worst.

She thought back to the night when this adventure began, when Rosie was nearly killed by an usher named Steve at a theater. Eloise and Rosie were able to return home safely and found out that they were the daughters of Demeter and Hades respectively. The girls also learned that Rosie was the illegal child of Hades since she was born after World War II.

Eloise remembered coming to Camp Half-Blood where Rosie would be safe from Zeus's reign. Rosie started dating Luke Castellan, one of the sons of Hermes. Eloise met a guy too, Lenny O'Malley, son of Hephaestus.

However, Eloise's world was shattered when she received news that Rosie had run away with Luke. Nothing was the same again. Eloise spent most of her time hiding out in Demeter's Cabin and trying to figure out why Rosie ran off.

Katie, being the loyal friend she is, comforted Eloise. She liked Rosie a lot and found it hard to believe that she ran off. "It's okay." She said soothingly to Eloise. "We'll find her and get her to come back."

"How," Eloise asked in a dull manner. She missed her best friend an awful lot but she had no idea what to do.

"Grover can probably find her. Or we can ask for a quest."

Eloise looked at Katie. "We can do that?" She grabbed her pillow from behind her and rested her chin on it.

"Sure can. We just have to talk to Chiron about it."

"What are the rules of quests?"

"You must request a quest first obviously." Katie counted on her fingers. "You can only bring two people with if you wish."

"Only two," Eloise didn't mean to interrupt but she was surprised at that second rule.

Katie nodded. "That's how it goes. I think you should take Grover with you."

"How does Grover find demigods?"

Katie shrugged lightly. "He's a protector and I guess that's part of his job." She snapped her fingers in rememberance. "Wait, he got his horns. He's not a protector anymore."

"I don't know who to bring with." A lump started to form in Eloise's throat and she struggled to keep her voice neutral. "How do we know that Rosie's safe? How will we know where she and Luke are?"

Katie placed a gentle hand on her half sister's shoulder and looked her in the eye. "Luke loves Rosie very much. I'm sure that he would never let anything bad happen to her." She took her hand away. "Now, start thinking of places where Rosie and Luke could have gone, we'll go request, and we'll start looking. In the meantime, think of who you want to go on the quest with you."

Eloise sighed, grabbed a pen and her notebook off of her side table, and started writing. Ever since Rosie ran off, she felt like a part of her was missing. It was like a cloudy day where it feels like no one can be happy or like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the peanut butter. Basically, she felt incomplete and empty as she finished her list and ripped the page out. "Let's go."

Katie nodded, got off of her bed, and walked out of the cabin with Eloise behind her, hoping to find Rosie and get Eloise out of her slump.

HCHCHCHC

A stray tear made its way down Rosie's pale cheek as she looked out the bus window. She never would have imagined running away. Then again, she never pictured cutting herself. Eloise had been the one to get her to stop cutting and she was forever grateful for it since she hasn't cut since.

Luke noticed the tear, reached a hand over, and wiped Rosie's tear away. "What's wrong, Angel face?" He couldn't bear to see his girlfriend cry and felt a pang of guilt in his heart.

"I miss Eloise." Rosie felt a mixture of depression and homesickness as she missed not only her best friend, but also Hermes's Cabin and Camp Half-Blood terribly.

"I understand, Rosie." Luke wrapped his arms around Rosie's waist. "We'll see her again, I promise you that." He looked down at her. "Where are we going anyways?"

Rosie leaned against Luke's side, looked up at her blonde hair boyfriend, and dropped her voice to a whisper. "We're going to Kentucky to throw Zeus off then we're going to California. There's an entrance to the Underworld by the Hollywood sign. I think I got shadow traveling down now."

"We're going to the Underworld?" Luke was surprised that Rosie was willing to go to the Underworld, especially at the chance of Persephone being there.

The brunette nodded and said, "I need to ask my dad something about where I think we can go. I'm pretty sure he'll know something."

The blue eye teen looked out the window then down at Rosie again. "Are you sure you'll be able to use shadow traveling?"

"I should be fine. Like I said before, if I get too tired, I'll let you know."

Luke sighed softly, causing Rosie to look up at him in curiosity. Truth was ever since Ethan Nakamura, who had stolen Zeus's bolt, threatened to slowly kill Rosie in front of him, he was scared of losing her. He knew that her being outside of Camp Half-blood was a huge risk to her.

"Luke, it'll be okay, I won't overtire myself." Rosie gently squeezed Luke's hand to reassure him. "I'll let you know if I get tired."

"Promise," He quickly checked for eavesdroppers then looked down at her, as if he was afraid of her suddenly disappearing into the shadows.

"I promise I'll tell you if I get too tired."

Luke rubbed Rosie's side as the bus pulled out from a stop and rested his chin on the top of her head. "I just don't want you to get hurt. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything bad happened to you."

"I know and I appreciate that you care about me." A yawn escaped Rosie's lips as she covered her mouth and snuggled into Luke's side. "I'm going to take a nap. Wake me when we get there?"

"I will."

As Rosie tried to drift off to sleep, Luke reached a hand up and started playing with one of the small curls in her hair.

"Luke," Rosie mumbled.

The blonde hair demigod looked down at the brunette, curious at what she needed. She glanced up at Luke.

"Will we ever be able to go back to Camp Half-Blood?"

Luke thought the question over as Rosie looked up at him and waited for an answer. He looked down at her and finally answered.

"I don't know," he admitted. "With Ethan and everything, I'm not sure when we can go back or even if we can go back." Rosie's smile faded a little, causing him to feel like his heart was sinking. "Don't worry, we'll see Eloise again. I promised you and I will find a way to make it happen."

"Will we see Crystal, Katie, Lenny and Nolan again?"

"I'll try. Now, try to get some sleep."

"I'll try to."

Rosie shifted a bit then started to fall asleep with the thought of seeing her friends again buzzing around in her head. Luke stroked Rosie's hair as he watched the scenery outside the window go by.

A/N: Trust me, it will get more exciting. Next chapter, Eloise goes to ask for a quest and Rosie and Luke go to the Underworld. Plus, Eloise has to choose who goes on the quest with her. Where do you think Rosie and Luke are going to go?
