Chapter 1
I dodged another snowball coming from Brooklyn and laughed when Zack hit her in the face with one. She glared at him and threw a snowball at him, but that was useless because once it got near him, it melted. He laughed hysterically because the snow wouldn't affect him. So, he only wore a sweater and jeans because he's oh, so warm! Of course, this didn't freak out Brooklyn because she knew about half-bloods. So did Cash, who was across from me, getting snowballs ready.
"Not fair! Turn your heat off!" Cried Brooklyn.
Zack laughed even more. "I can't turn it off! It's a gift!" He said.
I giggled and was thrown backwards by a fairly large snowball. I shivered form the cold and scrambled up.
"I wasn't ready!" I yelled to Cash.
"That's the point!" He called back and laughed.
I put my hat on my head and started building a fort. My hair was drenched from the melted snow. I had recently dyed the inside of my hair dark red, leaving the outside it's original back color. It was a dare, but it looks pretty cool.
Cash and Brooklyn are half-bloods, too. We don't know their parents yet, because they haven't been to camp yet. Cash has brown wavy hair and his eyes change colors, I don't know what that means. Brooklyn has dirty blond hair, black eyes, and really pale skin.
I was half-way through my fort, but then Cash knocked it down. I glared at him and started chasing him. Now, what are three fourteen year old's, and one fifteen year old including Zack, playing in the snow like little kids? Well, we were bored. And there's nothing else to do on this snowy December day but play in the snow.
We all froze when we heard a loud roar. I turned, and was face-to-face with an extremely large hell hound. I backed up slowly so I was next to Cash.
"So, what's the GP, TA?" he asked my.
"What did you just say?" I asked, looking at him weirdly.
"Game plan, Terra Ada." he said.
"You're using initials now?" I questioned.
"Yeah, it saves time." He replied.
"Well, not if you have to translate." I said mockingly.
He thought for a moment and said, "GP"
"Game plan?"
He rolled his eyes. "Good Point." he said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, can we just focus on the matter at hand?" Brooklyn whispered to us.
I grinned and my bow and arrow appeared at my hands. The hell hound turned to me and growled. I shot an arrow at the eye of the hound. It howled and look me angrily.
"Scatter!" Zack yelled and we all went separate ways.
I jumped to the left, Zack ran back, Brooklyn went right, and Cash slid under the hound and ran to the back. Brooklyn and Cash took out swords that Zack and I lent them and stood in battle stance. Yeah, we've been training them.
I ran around it, shooting arrows, while Zack hid behind a tree trying to get a shot at the inside of it's mouth. Cash started attacking the hound's leg with his sword. But Brooklyn stood still.
"Brooklyn, fight!" I yelled.
She seemed to hear me, but didn't do anything. "I can't!" She yelled.
"Why?" I said, sounding a bit whiny.
"I-I just can't. Something's is telling me not to!" She argued.
Suddenly, the hound's ears perked up. It froze and kicked Cash off it's foot, and he hit the tree. I went to run to him, but the hound jumped in front of Brooklyn and I froze. What was it doing? It seemed to be...heeling. Brooklyn stared at it, wide-eyed.
I heard a loud whistle and it exploded. But, like it caught fire, then it exploded. I blinked in surprise.
"Your welcome!" Zack called out.
I turned to him, he was holding an arrow with fire on it. He was smirking like it was all him. I stuck my tongue out at him and walked jogged to Brooklyn. I stopped when I saw something above her head. It was roundish...and scary looking...and...it was the helm of Hades. My eyes widened.
"A little help over here!" Cash yelled behind me.
Brooklyn looked terrified. I heard cash groan groan loudly to catch my attention. I sighed and ran to where he was thrown. I bent down to him. He was filled with snow, I stifled a laugh.
"Okay, what hurts?" I asked.
"Arm" He said.
Lifted up his sleeve and almost gagged. The wound was large and turning black, it was bleeding, too.
"Disgusting" I muttered.
He smirked and said. "I seen the cut on your leg, it's worst"
I glared at him. "How did you-"
"Pool party" He reminded me.
I nodded, remembering the crazy pool party. I helped him up and helped him walk over to Zack and Brooklyn.
"How is it that you never get hurt when monsters attack you?" Cash asked.
"Because I'm been in worst situations." I said. He looked at the scar that ran form my ear to my neck and said nothing.
I got that scar from my twin, Juliet. We were in battle...and things didn't work out well for me. Zack looked at me worriedly. We made an empathy link a few weeks ago, so he knows my feelings and stuff like that. Right now, I was worried.
"We need to get to Camp Half-blood" I said.
Everyone looked at me. "Why?" Zack questioned.
"Brooklyn," I said, "Just got claimed by Hades. The Hell hound heeled when it saw her. When you shot it, Hades helm appeared over her head and she was claimed."
"Wow" Muttered Cash.
Zack scratched his head. "So, now? We better message Chiron."
"And me and Brooklyn have to tell our parents." Cash said.
"Brooklyn and I" I corrected.
He rolled his eyes at me. I grinned and gave him some nectar.
"Is that bad?" Brooklyn suddenly said.
I looked up at her. "What?"
"Being Hades' daughter?"
I thought for a moment. "Not anymore, I told you about Percy Jackson, right? Luna's father?" I told everything about camp and what happened when I found out she was a half-blood. "The wish? Well, it's not bad. You're just really strong. And you're the third that's been born."
She nodded looked away.
"Well, I have to tell my father, so bye.. See you in half an hour!"Cash said and walked away holding his bruised arm.
I looked at Brooklyn curiously. "Don't you have to tell your mom?" I asked her.
She shook her head. "She wouldn't care"
I nodded, remembering that her mom is never home. "Clothes?"
She smiled weakly. "Don't your clothes fit me...?" She said.
I laughed and said, "Fine."
"We got to tell your dad" Zack said and headed towards the house.
Brooklyn went after him, then I did. I got inside, only to find my father gone. "Dad?" I called out.
No response.
"Wasn't he here, like, an hour ago?" I heard Brooklyn call out from my room.
"Yeah...but, he's not here." I said.
"He could be out on one of his writing trips." Zack suggested.
I shook my head. "He would have told me. He wouldn't leave like that." I said searched his study.
I became worried. I had a feeling that my father was truly gone. My eyes widened with realization. That hell hound...maybe it was a distraction? But, then why would Hades send it? Unless...Hades' was framed...
"We have to go, now" I announced and ran to my room.
While I hurriedly packed my things, I remembered my meeting with the Olympians. I was short and not really what I expected. I guess something was bothering them because there was tension in the air. I was upset because Zeus was mad at me because Juliet killed Carla, his daughter, and she killed Carla's and Carlo's little sister. I was furious because he's blaming me for something my sister did. Then, Aphrodite looked a beautiful mess because her daughter and my best friend died. Leslie. I still grieve for her and Carla My mother wasn't there, Hecate was busy with something else. Athena advised me that I am very quick thinking and smart, I would helped them a great deal in the future, then she gave Apollo a look. What's that suppose to mean? Luna, thankfully, came with me. Luna is my best friend, since I went to Camp Half-blood for the first time.
I heard the doorbell ring. I ran to the door, hoping it was my dad. But was greeted by the face of Luna, her dad, Percy Jackson, and her mom, Annabeth Jackson. I wiped tears away and let them in. They've been visiting me and my friends, and my dad, since I came from camp. My dad and Luna's parents are good friends.
"What's wrong?" Luna asked.
"Is your father here?" Her dad asked.
I shook my head violently. Brooklyn came in, her face white, she was still shocked. "Hi, Brooklyn" Luna's mom greeted, she nodded in response.
"I checked everywhere, I can't find him." She said slumped down onto a chair.
"I think the hound was a distraction. But, the hounds must've come from Hades. Why does he-" Zack stopped when he saw Luna and her family.
This was absolute chaos. Percy stood up. "What is happening?" He asked.
"Terra's father is gone. We think he's been kidnapped." Brooklyn said softly.
Annabeth's hand went to her mouth. I explained everything to Luna's parents. Percy decided we should all go to camp and see what Chiron says. Maybe he would have an explanation. But, my question is, why would Hades send a hell hound after his own daughter? And why does he need my father? What exactly was he planing?
