James sighed as he walked back and forth through the Persephone cabin, not sure how ask the group in front of them for this favor without looking crazy. He had invited all of the people he thought would be helpful, and some that wouldn't be that helpful, but he needed all the help he could carefully scanned the room. They occupied both the bunk beds in the room, and it seemed they they would start using them for sleeping if he didn't talk soon.

Right when he was going to go for the "just yell really loud" tactic a Hecate camper came running in. He scanned the room until his eyes landed on Salex, "Salex Come and bring Niome with you hurry!" he yelled. Niome and Salex sat upright and jumped off the bunk beds. Naomi looked at him sympathedicly and said, "Listen James say whatever you have to say we'll be right back" ,then both left the room without a look back.

"Ok listen up", said James going for the "yell really loud" way. "Weird stuff has been going on with Marie Levine going missing" everyone looked at him like he went crazy. James started to sink everyone's face wore nothing but pity.

Then Stefanie, obviously having actually thought about it spoke up. "Chiron canceling all the training as if purposely making sure no one gets hurt was a little weird,And not being allowed to go on a quest or send an Iris messages is clearly weird". They all looked at her, until Kenya started to laugh. James couldn't help, but wonder why.

"James,Stephanie calm down" she said getting up. "There's a perfectly logical explanation for everything. Maybe somebodies parent got tired of their kid getting hurt at summer camp and they want to sue". James expected Stephanie to speak up, but she obviously saw the logic in the explanation." If that's all you're going to say I'm going to meet Nico so I'm leaving", after Kenya talked every seemed to agree and started up when Niome and Salex came back in. They both looked pale Niome stayed by the door as Salex walked to his bed.

"Liam?" asked Naomi.

"Yeah?" he answered

"Is it true that were out of nectar and anbrosia?" she asked

"Niome" said Salex carefully before Liam could answer "You don't know for sure that's why they called us, maybe they just wanted a more natural alternative that's why they told us to use herbs"

"But, herbs don't work as well and ambrosia is natural. In fact it's how gods stay immortal" responded Naomi as she began to sit next to Haru putting her hand under her chin.

"Actually Hebe would give it to them" said Liam in his usual random outburst "To answer your question we haven't had to use any since we don't train we haven't needed to use it or look at it"

"So that proves James isn't crazy" said September Marie

"Nobody said he was crazy" pointed out Stefanie

"It didn't need to be said" responded Alyssa

"The only way to be sure his fears aren't crazy is by trying to send a Iris Message" pointed out Shelbie.

"Hello, has anyone realized what happened to Marie?" asked James completely lost.

"Katashi said he saw her move back home and Elizabeta backed him up" said Nick sounding like a school girl when he said Elizabeta.

Before anyone could react the ground started to shake. Everyone exept September Marie and Niome dropped to the ground.

"What's wrong with them?" asked just about everyone as September and Naomi continued completely ignoring the shaking. Salex and James stayed quiet ussed to them ignoring a lot of stuff

"Just an earthquake" both of them said "We have them all the time"

"Not an earthquake" said Shelbie who was next to Nick "Lasting to long" .

Before anyone could argue huge light came from the campfire. They all headed out holding on to the walls. The fire rose dozens of feet, and turned pitch black as an unrecognizable male figure's image formed in the flames. The figure reeked of arrogance, he simply stood there nonchalantly waiting for everyone to come. When everyone showed up he started motioning them to stand together. In James mind he looked like a man trying to take a picture.

"Well , Well, Well seems like Chiron kept quiet after all" said the figure. The voice sent shivers down James spine. It was so familiar, but he couldn't place a finger on it. "Bad choice" said the figure "I'll tell them now-" "No!" they all turned to see Chiron in full horse mode. By now the shaking had died down and everyone was standing in fighting position just in case the voice showed itself . Completely ignoring Chiron It continued,"You see no one has told you the truth". James felt as if it were talking to him "Marie Levine is gone and so is all your ambrosia is gone and Iris. This camp you all love will be gone by nightfall" James and everyone stayed staring at the fire.

"Are you sure it was a good idea" asked Katashi as Elizabeta came into the room

"Of course" she answered smugly "if they know they'll take action, if they do that they will fall straight into our trap, and if they do that we have our sacrifices." She started to walk towards Katashi "Don't you trust me?" she began to stroke his arm until a muffled sound came from the corner.

"Oh be quiet!" scram Katashi and the small figure shrunk even more. Elizabeta walked up and took the bind of her mouth

"Let me go!" scram Marie "They aren't dumb,they won't be tricked" she said defiantly to Elizabeta

"Love makes you do things" Marie was sure she was talking about Katashi.

"Both of you be quiet it's time to begin traning" He walked up and carried her to the door.

So what do you think? I kind of like it.
