THREE YEARS LATER Percy's POV
The instant a giant crack forms in the middle of camp, we know something is wrong. Why? Because being a demigods and satyrs, we've seen a lot of things, but this? Only when Nico was upset, and he wasn't even close to the crack when it happened. Coincidence? I think not. "This is definitely not a coincidence." I say, as The seven, Nico, Will, Calypso, and I stare down into it.
"It leads to the Underworld, maybe even That place." Nico breathes. Annabeth stiffens, and I break into a cold sweat. Not there, never again. Annabeth turns, and buries her head in my chest, my Annabeth. That's how serious this is. Suddenly, a hand appears over the edge of the crack, a hand with sharpened nails. Another hand appears, looking exactly the same. What is happening? The hands start preparing themselves, and slowly, a head appears, then the upper body, and, finally, the lower body. She stands up, and dusts herself off, then looks up at us, and flinches when she hears a sneer. We turn to see Jennifer, and her two lackeys, Drew and Tanika.
"Awww, it's the faggot, itty bitty Danielle Browne." She sneers, looking down at the girl. My eyes widen at the comment. Danielle Browne, the girl who's been missing for three years.
She clutches her head, and mutters "No, no, no, no…" and almost falls back into the crack, but I catch her just in time, and she's out. She instantly starts squirming, like something is holding her back. The wind picks up, blowing her hair out of her face, and reveals… scars, so many. Long, short, doesn't matter, but they cover most of her face. Suddenly, the ground starts shaking, and energy starts flowing around her. The crack heals, and she starts floating, a tornado of matter under her. She starts screaming, but instead of the murderous stuff normal humans make, it's a song, a long, murderous song, yet soft and loving, and painful, cries for help. Then, like it all started, it stops, she falling down, back to the ground. Annabeth dives, and manages to catch her, just in time.
Danielle curls up into a ball, and drifts to sleep, muttering "No, not you, I don't want you here." her face screwed in pain, and then, it changes into an angelic look. I look over at her, and realize, she looks almost perfect, like a doll, but, not, because her scars, and how she is albino. Who is this girl?
