Wallace pulled Bella and I through the corridors of the school. We navigated our way until we reached the exit, which it seemed with the day I'd been having wasn't surprisingly blocked by two more of whatever creatures, like Mrs. Smith they were Echidnas. I pulled out my pen that turned into a sword again, so I knew I didn't imagine it the first time. Bella screamed as I lunged towards the Echidnas. My sword waved around in maneuvers I'd only seen in the movies. "Percy!" Bella squawked as I dug my sword into an Echidnas belly.
I looked around to see Wallace standing next to what looked like a chariot and winged horses. While I was gazing around the second Echidna had come up behind me. She used her great and mighty tale to whack me in the head: as if I didn't have enough of a headache. I was about to black out when I saw Bella pick up my sword and pierce the Echidna with it as she'd seen me do with the other one.
I woke up in unfamiliar surroundings; my head was killing me and I felt the same confusion that I had earlier that day. Out of stubbiness I tried to sit up only to find myself in what appeared to be a sick-bay type of thing. "Percy!" Bella rushed over. She had changed into a purple t-shirt and shorts; she'd wiped off the make up but left her midnight curls free. I barely recognized her. "Were are we?" I asked her.
"At a summer camp from what I can gather. I don't know the full story but Lupa will be able to explain." Lupa? Summer camp? For once I wish I knew who I was and what I was doing.
I managed to stand up with Bella's help and have a glass of water. "Here are some spare clothes." Bella motioned to a pile of clothes, which contained a purple t-shirt identical to the one Bella was wearing.
When Bella was gone I pulled on the purple t-shirt and a pair of trackies. I rummaged for my sneakers, then went outside. There were kids of every age and size all dressed in the same purple t-shirts as Bella and I. The kids were doing everything from the usual summer camp type stuff like swimming to obscene things like two kids dueling each other in an arena. "Percy over here" Bella yelled from an archery range. I ran to meet her. "Percy Lupa wants to speak to you, here I'll take you to her." She reached for my hand and dragged me over to the gloomiest part of the camp that I'd seen. It was a cave that had an aura about it that sent shivers down my spine.
I left Bella at the entrance as I cautiously stepped into the cave. I carried on this way until I reached a pit of darkness.
