"Get back!", I screamed as a group of furies came after again. I reached for απαστράπτω , or "flare". All I had to do was twist the charm on my bracelet. It was shaped like a treble clef. The bracelet disappeared. I now held a sword with my bow strapped on my back. The first fury swooped down. Big mistake. I slashed with flare and she, or he, or...whatever, exploded. Before the other furies could react, I grabbed two arrows and made them explode. I could see the pine tree straight ahead. Grover's instructions were clear." Go to Long Island, New York. There's a camp there. You'll know its the camp because there's a pine tree on the top of the hill. Go!" He handed me a slip of paper with the address of the camp on it. He ran to help my unconscious brother, Hayden.

My shoulder exploded in pain. I looked behind me as I crumpled to the ground. An Asian boy with a bow in his hand looked at me. There were 5 others with him. I couldn't make out there features because my vision was starting to go blurry. I glanced at my shoulder. My shirt had a huge rip in it, and my shoulder was a bloody mess. The boy started to run to me, bit a huge harpy blocked his path. One of the boys in the group slashed at it with his sword, and the harpy exploded. They ran towards me.

"Are you okay?"

"Who are you?'

"I don't think she's from camp."

" We need to get her to the infirmary!" That's when I blacked out.

I opened my eyes to see a guy in a wheelchair and a girl with red hair talking in hushed tones. I could still make out what they were saying.

"She's definitely older than thirteen! Why hasn't she been claimed yet?"

" Rachel, please calm down. Maybe she was sent by Grover from a school."

"But that doesn't explain why she hasn't been claimed yet, Chiron! You know what happened last time when kids showed up unclaimed!" she was starting to cry. "I cant believe they're both gone!"

I cleared my throat. The man in the wheelchair, Chiron, looked at me and smiled.

"I see you are awake. Would you mind telling us your name?"

"Tori Black. Where am I?" I was surrounded by beds from a hospital and trays of weird liquids. A few other people were on the beds, too. They looked pretty banged up. Other than that the room was empty.

" You're in the infirmary. Please tell me what all you remember." I started with Grover finding me and my little brother Hayden.

" You didn't happen to have another person sent here, did you?"

" I'm afraid not" said Chiron. I put my head in my hands. Even though he was my half brother, I still took care of him. His mother had died giving birth to his other sister, and since we had the same father (even though neither of us had met him) he came to find us. My mom always told me I would meet him someday, but I've been getting pretty impatient lately. All I knew is I inherited my singing voice from him.

" My dad left a note for my mom when he left telling her about this camp. Do you know anything about my dad?" Chiron smiled weakly.

" We know a little bit about him, but we don't know who he is." That confused me, a lot. Although I haven't been not-confused in while, so it didn't bother me. The girl, Rachel, had been so quiet I had forgotten she was there. She started to fall backwards, but Chiron caught her. Green stuff started to come from her mouth. Chiron grabbed a stool and set her down on it.

"A child of Apollo who is far from deaf"

" Will help to close the doors of death"

"Helped by the one who's skin is pale"

"The loss of two they will prevail"

Rachel collapsed. Chiron caught her.

"What. Was. That?" I managed to get out.

"A prophecy. This is very bad. Do you think you can walk."

" Of course." I said. Only my shoulder was still hurting.

"Good. There are some people I would like you to meet."

LEO

No one was talking. With Percy and Annabeth gone and that one girl we took took to the infirmary showing up, we all felt terrible and useless. Just then, Chiron came over with someone on his back.

"Victoria, this is Leo, Jason, Piper, Nico, Hazel, and Frank. Heroes, this is Victoria Black."

"Chiron, no one calls me that. You can just call me Tori." said the girl. She was tall, probably 5'10", 5'11", and she had dark brown hair pulled up in a bun. She had light skin and dark green eyes. She was... actually really pretty. She had an amazing smile, it lit up her whole face. She climbed off Chiron's back.

" We have a very big problem."

"What is it, Chiron? Is it Percy"asked Piper. She looked sad.

"In a way. Rachel just gave Vic- Tori- a prophecy. I think it has something to do with Percy, Annabeth, and..."

"And who?" asked Frank.

" And Nico and Tori." Nico and Tori looked at each other. Tori's face looked extremely pale.

" But I-I don't even-I'm not -I..." She had an almost laughable expression on her face, but I wasn't that cruel. She looked terrified.

" What exactly did the prophecy say?" I said

"Um.."

"A child of Apollo who is far from deaf will help to close the doors of death helped by the one who's skin is pale the loss of two they will prevail" Tori recited. Everyone looked at her.

"What? I have a really good memory for song lyrics, and it rhymed so...yeah I guess." I really likes this girl now. Smart, pretty, AND able to shoot a bow? Sweet.

"Hmm. Jason, take Tori to the Hermes..." Chiron stopped. There was a flowing raven floating over Tori's head.

"What?" she demanded. She looked up and gasped. She looked back at us with a look of shock on her face. I had to laugh this time.

"Hail, Tori Black, daughter of Apollo."
