DISCLAIMER- I DO NOT OWN PJO…sadly :( OH WELL! On with the story!

Sadie rolled over in to morning only to bump into a new figure that wasn't there when she fell asleep. Both girls sat up quickly and examined each other. The new girl had very long pale white blonde hair in two very messed up braids. Her eyes were pale also like her hair but they were an icy blue. She was wearing shorts and a light blue tank top and white Nikes.

"Who are you?" Sadie asked squinting her eyes letting them get used to the new light.

"Leila McCarthy," She said plainly. "And you?"

"Sadie Garsadol. I'm guessing you're a new addition to this group."

"Looks like." Leila sighed. The two girls were the only ones up. They waited in silence for the rest of the group to wake up. Sadie always hated it when she was the first one up; there was never anyone to talk to. Of course, there was Leila, but they were having an awkward moment especially because Sadie rolled in to her.

It was just barely morning. The sun was low in the sky. Gradually, everyone woke up. Another girl had joined the group; her name was Katherine Ricardo, but preferred Kat.

They were about to begin their journey when the four satyrs noticed someone was missing. Fawn took a head count then sighed deeply. "AJ is missing." She mumbled. And she was hoping for a nice trip home. Yeah, not going to happen.

"Why don't we just leave him?" Drew suggested. "He'll find his way back to his house."

"We can't just forget about him." Jakob said. "He has to be brought to camp." Drew shrugged.

"I liked my idea." He muttered.

"This yours?" a new voice asked. Behind the eight demigods a girl walked over. She had very dark and short hair, and electric blue eyes like Kat. Next to her, walked Andrew with the biggest grin on his face.

"Gods," Holly muttered. "That was close."

"We'll be in touch with camp." The girl said. "Tell Chiron I said hi, and has there been word from Percy or Annabeth lately?"

"Will do Thalia," Jakob said. "And yes actually. They are somewhere in the city right now, living great with Alicia, their daughter."

"Oh yeah! I love her! She is seven now right?"

"Six actually. Well thanks Thalia for the help, we got it from here."

"Okay," she turned to Leila and Kat. "You girls sure?"

"Yes," They both said in unison, both sounding very annoyed with the question. The other demigods looked confused at her question.

"OK. Well good luck guys, and congrats Holly and Fawn." She winked at them then ran off.

"What did you do over there?" Fawn demanded AJ as soon as Thalia was out of earshot.

"Nothing." AJ responded still keeping his grin.

"Okay," Felder said. "Let's get going now! Before another monster attacks."

"Wait!" Holly said, pulled five necklaces out of her pocket. "We didn't give them these yet, and we have enough for the girls too!"

"Oh…yeah," Felder mumbled. He had forgotten about those. Luckily he still had them. The nine demigods stood in a like and the satyrs and satyresses placed the leather strings around their necks. First Sadie, then AJ, Drew, Archy, Adam, Chuck, Shea, Kat, and Leila.

At first nothing happened. The four leaders' hearts skipped a beat as nothing happened, but then something did happen. Sadie was the first to be claimed.

Sadie had a glowing symbol now above her head and all the half bloods turned to look at her. The symbol was of a silver owl. Around her neck appeared a silver necklace with an owl charm. As Sadie touched the necklace it suddenly turned into a sword. It was gold with silver lining it. The sword was well balanced and about three feet long.

Andrew was next. His symbol appeared seconds after Sadie's. It was the red-orange Caduceus. A gun was now strapped to his belt loop in his shorts. It was small and silver. On his wrist appeared a wristwatch. It turned into a sword when he pushed a button.

Next was Drew. Above his head was a red boar. His sword in his hand glowed red for a moment. On his hands were black gloves with the finger tips cut off. He was now trying to discover what they did.

Archy had a symbol of a black helm. In her hand was now a sword that seemed to be made completely of shadows. On a belt now strapped to her pants, were three eggs. She picked one up and opened it. Archy instantly disappeared. "Cool!" she mumbled. Archy closed the egg and reappeared.

Adam had a blue trident appear above his head. An iPod touch 3000 appeared in his hand. He examined it for a moment and then out of nowhere a sword appeared.

Eagerly waiting for their claiming to begin Shea, Kat and Leila watched as sun appeared above Chuck's head. Out of nowhere a laurel grew on top of her head. A bow was in her hand and a quiver on her back. They were both golden like the sun. In her hand was a green lighter. She flicked it open and began playing with the green fire that emerged from it. Felder immediately stopped her and told her that she can play with any other type of fire just not Greek fire. Chuck looked confused, but she obeyed…for now.

Shea was next. Above her head grew the same symbol as Archy, a black helm. A black dagger that looked solid was now in her hand. A watch appeared on her wrist. On the face, faces of terrified people emerged in and out like magic. Shea smiled, she loved it.

Kat had been so eagerly waiting and watching the others, that she almost didn't notice the symbol above her head. A blue lightning bolt shimmered above her. A pouch was slung over her shoulder. It looked like it was bound with leather. She pulled a sword out of it, but instantly dropped it back in. She tried again hoping for something lighter, and pulled out two knives, then a third. She smiled.

Leila was last. Snow seemed to be falling on her head. A silver charm bracelet was now on her wrist. She looked at it smiling, and then finally touched it. Two knives appeared in her hands. She pressed a button on each and they were one charm bracelet again. She pulled them back out.

Like they were doing the wave, the symbols slowly faded starting with Sadie. The four satyrs stood in awe. On each of the leather necklaces there was a single bead that had a symbol identical to the one that was above their heads.

"Wow!" Sadie murmured. "An owl, what does that mean?"

"Athena is your mother." Jakob explained, and then turned to AJ. "And yours is Hermes."

"Ares," Drew mumbled happily.

"And me?" Archy asked eagerly.

"Hades," Fawn said. "And same with you Shea."

"Am I Neptune?" Adam asked. Sadie rolled her eyes. Even she knew that it had to be Poseidon, the Greek god, though she didn't really know how she knew that.

"Technically speaking, yes." Felder answered. "But that is his roman name. He is more commonly known as Poseidon."

"Apollo right?" Chuck asked. "That's my dad?" Holly nodded smiling.

"Your dad is Zeus." Felder explained to Kat. She nodded still examining her pouch trying to figure out what else she could pull out of it.

"And I'm—?" Leila stopped. She couldn't answer that. Who was the Greek god of snow?

"Khione." Jakob said.

"Khione," She repeated softly. That must explain why she never gets cold.

"Okay!" Felder said impatiently, though obviously excited after what just happened. "We got to get going."

"Alright!" Fawn and Holly said in unison. "First," Fawn said. "All of you now have a weapon. It is celestial bronze and will not hurt mortals, only monsters. Because you are part mortal and part god, you can be hurt by manmade weapons and celestial bronze. Try not to kill your selves with your weapons; you will get proper training when we get to camp."

AJ raised his hand like an idiot. "Yes?" Fawn said liking the authority she was getting.

"Why can't it hurt mortals? I would love to use it on my little sister." Sadie glared at him. Why would anyone want to hurt someone? Fawn rolled her eyes and didn't even answer.

Thirteen kids were traveling through the streets of Manhattan and through tunnels and bridges. What is so suspicious about that? Apparently a lot, a police car pulled up next to the group. Charlotte tried to hide her bow, and Drew hid his sword. Andrew was facing the other way trying to make his gun unnoticeable. Kat put her knives in her pouch. To some of the half bloods, it seemed to change from a back pack to the pouch. Shea pretended to tie her shoes and shoved her knife up her pant leg. Adam put his iPod in his pocket. Leila put her knives back into a bracelet, and Sadie's sword was now a necklace. The officer who stepped out of the car didn't seem to notice the weapons.

"Where are you kids headed?" The officer asked us. No one spoke. Honestly the demigods didn't know, but the brothers and twins did.

"I'm sorry officer," Shea said a little annoyed. "We didn't know that walking through a public area was a crime." The officer stepped in her direction.

"Young lady, you understand that you just appointed an officer. I can take you down to the station for just that." Shea took a step forward, which was her biggest mistake. Out of her jeans her knife clattered to the ground. The officer looked at her suspiciously. Shea stepped onto the knife, praying her didn't see it.

"I hope you have a license for that, and I really doubt you are twenty one." Everyone was silent. The officer took another step closer to her. They were only two feet apart."What is your name?"

"Miley Cyrus!" She yelled then pushed the officer away from her. As she did her watch hissed. Smoke seemed to come out of the officer's body, like a shadow. It flew into the watch. The officer fell to the ground.

"You killed him!" Adam concluded.

"I did not! But if I did…he deserved it. Teaches him not to mess with me." Shea picked up her knife.

"Miley Cyrus?" AJ asked her.

"It was the first thing that came to mind. I was pissed okay?"

"Now," Jakob said. "We really need to go. They'll find him eventually." Fawn took the officer's pulse.

"He isn't dead." She concluded making everyone let out a sigh with relief. That would have been really bad.

"Oh no," Sadie muttered.

"What?" Leila asked.

"Don't you hear them?"

"Hear what?" AJ asked.

"The sirens. That is not a good sign."

"I hear them too," The four satyrs said in unison. "We should get going quickly." Holly said.

The group dove into the first forest they saw after getting off Long Island. The demigods thought about their parents and how they were probably worried sick about their absence. Sadie was most definitely upset because the last thing she said to her dad was. "Whatever dad! Thanks for everything!" She said it in a sarcastic way right before jetting off to school.

It was a little past four o'clock when they finally got onto the route to camp. Walking there would take another hour or so, give or take. With Felder the only one who has been in and out of camp so much, he knows the way the best. It wasn't hard, but apparently it had to be.

"Does this place have a phone number or something we could call?" Leila asked impatiently. It was already six, and they were lost. Just think of that. Four well trained satyrs that should know their way through the woods, and they were lost.

"We can't use phones." Drew spat harshly. "All half bloods cant. It is like sending up a signal to monsters saying, 'I'm here! Comer eat me!'"

"I have a phone," Archy said. She had been quiet the whole time. "Why don't we just—?"

"NO!" Jakob and Felder said at once together. Felder snatched the phone from her hand, but Archy grabbed it back.

"OKAY! I'll keep it off." She put the phone in her pocket. She didn't even turn it on. "It would be much easier though."

"Not if a bunch of monsters attack." Holly pointed out. The longer we walked the more dark it became.

"Got a few flashlights in your pouch, Kat?" AJ asked after walking into a tree, making Sadie walk into him.

"Ha-ha." She muttered. "No, I don't. Only weapons."

"I think I have a familiar sent." Felder mumbled. Nobody got too excited because he said this a few time before. "This time I'm serious." He bolted a head and the rest of the group followed.

Sure enough at the end of the forest there was a clearing and a hill. At the top of the hill there was a pine tree. They made it. But something stopped the demigods. Standing only feet in front of them, stood four large dogs, and three creatures that Sadie recognized. They looked like the creature Ms. Kosten turned into before.

"Oh perfect," Sadie muttered.

"You are in no position to comment Ms. Garsadol." One of the creatures responded evilly. This one was the one that had been Ms. Kosten. Sadie clenched her fists. This time, she could actually hurt her teacher.
Charlotte was nervous. If they had to fight these things, she would be no help. Well that's what she thought. She didn't know how to shoot an arrow. Everyone pulled their weapons out, even though almost all of them didn't know how to use them.
A Hellhound got impatient. It charged directly at Leila and everyone attacked.
Leila jumped to the side and slashed the black figure as it flew by her.
A Fury flew right at Sadie and another at Shea. The third stood and watched, and waited. Three other hellhounds attacked. The boys went straight onto them each stood with one Hellhound.
Kat began to help Sadie with Ms. Kosten. Archy used her shadow sword to help fight with Shea.
The four satyrs began playing music on their pipes. Roots began tangling themselves around the enemies. The hellhounds just broke free of the wrappings, but the Kindly Ones were slowed down by the roots.
Sadie fought the Fury hard. She had no training what so ever, but she managed to stay alive. But things began to go wrong.
Chuck dodged the attack of a Hellhound that AJ had been fighting. AJ was now lying wounded in the grass. His thigh had a big gash from where the beast must have clawed him.
Sadie had lost her footing and stumbled right into the Fury's trap. Ms. Kosten's whip wrapped around Sadie's waist. It burned her and made her scream. The whip let go and Sadie fell to the ground holding her stomach. She could barely breathe with the new burns on her there.
"One of you must know where it is!" The Fury who stood back yelled. "One of you has it!"
No one understood what the Fury was talking about.
Adam sliced down the Hellhound he was fighting. He charged at the Fury standing over Sadie. She seemed to need the most help. Kat was trying to pull the attention of the Fury away from Sadie.
Shea was continuing the fight the Fury on her with Archy along side of her. The roots wrapping around the creature's wings and clawed feet help them greatly. But apparently not enough.
The Fury kicked Archy aside into a tree and a lunged at Shea and knocked her to the ground, the Fury's claws dug into her chest. The feet of the creature wrapped around her ribs. There was a snapping sound and Shea cried out lightly. The Fury above her seemed to have an arrow sprout from her chest, the creature exploded.
While Chuck tried to help Shea, the Hellhound she had been fighting, knocked her to the ground. Chuck hit her head on a rock hard, but had time to plunge an arrow into the neck of the dog. Before she blacked out, the monster exploded into golden dust.
Kat and Adam were fighting the Fury that had attacked Sadie. Sadie was now grasping her stomach tightly and gasping for air. The new burns that wrapped around her stomach singed and in some spots she was bleeding heavily.
Leila was fighting right on with the Hellhound growing tired quickly, but was soon able to take down the beast. Looking around she saw the other Fury standing and watching. Being over whelmed with rage as she saw the other half blood's lying on the ground she charged fiercely at the creature.
Drew took down the Hellhound easily, but left the battle with a large gash on his upper arm. He went and helped Kat and Adam with the second Fury.
Holly and Fawn had passed out from exhaustion and the boys were close behind them. There was nothing they could do they concluded glumly.
Kat finally found an open spot to stab the creature. She managed to stab it, but she wasn't quick enough to get away. The Fury's wing knocked her thirty feet to the left and into an old car before the Fury exploded into dust.
Leila and the third Fury we now fighting hard now. Before Adam and Drew could get there to help, Leila grabbed the Fury by the wrist. She didn't know why she did it but the Fury found that a good time to throw the girl. Leila soared twenty feet and skidded to a stop on the gravel road, not moving.
"You half bloods all know where it is!" She shouted. "Hand over the sword and no one will be killed." The music stopped.
"We don't know where the sword is!" Adam shouted.
"We don't even know what you are talking about!" Drew added.
The Fury laughed, but little did she know what Leila did to her. A patch of ice that was on the Fury's wrist, the exact spot where Leila grabbed her, it crept up her arm, freezing it.
"What is this?" she bellowed. The Fury cracked her whip. It flew at Adam, and wrapped around his neck making him start to choke. Drew cut the whip before it could do anymore damage. Adam cursed loudly. Before falling to the ground and coughing.
The Fury froze entirely in a position with a furious face. Her muscles showed signs of maybe cracking her whip again.
The demigods left standing collapsed exhausted. Jakob and Felder passed out also. A different demigod had seen them from on top of the hill and ran to get help.
Fifteen other demigods came and helped the satyrs and half bloods that lay wounded. Most injuries were too bad for the kids to walk, so some were carried.
Sadie limped off with her arm around another kid's. She was still clutching her stomach.
Kat, Chuck, Archy, and Leila were unconscious and carried over the hill. AJ couldn't walk because his leg was scratched deep. He limped with his arm over someone's shoulder, slowly jumping towards camp. Shea was able to walk but was supported by others because she may have stumbled a bit because of her ribs.
Drew and Adam were the only ones that could walk off easily without help. Adam was given ambrosia immediately before something major injured his neck or internal throat.
They all were set down in the infirmary and stayed there until morning.

Everyone dreamed the same dream, and everyone saw each other in the dream. They stood in a line like they did before when they were being claimed.
The demigods dreamed they were on the peak of a mountain, and it was night. Two figures sat in the dark; one was younger than the other.

"We have it," The younger boy sneered. "We have had it. The demigods have been confronted by the monsters Hades sent."

"Perfect," The older one chuckled. "Well done Ryan. Your father is pleased." The shadow of the younger one stiffened.

"We are being watched." He whispered.

"Let them watch. It will only scare them." The two laughed lightly.

"If only my mother knew what she had." Ryan muttered. "She could have—" He stopped short.

The demigods watched in horror as a beast emerged from the darkness. It was unable to be described in the light, but they could see the glowing red eyes. The creature jumped at the half bloods. They stiffened a yell.
