Campers

"Alright heroes, weapons out now, keep your guard up and pray to the gods; it should be down this alleyway." Chiron announced sharply and even Leo stopped grinning as they all grabbed their weapons. Leo gulped. None of them knew what it was that would be down there, all they knew was that it was incredibly powerful, dark and dangerous. That was enough information to have most of the heroes there shaking.

"Alright then, let's go.." Percy said, breaking the momentary silence that had fallen between them. Annabeth nodded and moved forward, so the rest of them followed, edging down the alleyway as if the floor could explode at any moment. Nico looked down the alleyway as he was in front.

"Guys, either there isn't a monster down here or it's invisible," Nico said sarcastically, secretly relieved there wasn't a ginormous monster trying to tear his face off.

"Invisible?" Piper questioned, shivering slightly.

Leo grinned, "Well let's find out if anything's down here then,"

"Leo, don't," Annabeth ordered, glaring at him.

" OI! MONSTER, COME AND GET U-" Leo was cut off by a piercing feminine scream coming from the floor just a few feet away from them. Piper screamed in fright as Chiron drew his bow and aimed it at the spot, about to fire.

"Chiron! Don't! What if that was a human? It sounded like a girl!" Piper screamed at him, running forwards towards where the scream came from. The others also ran forwards and peered down at what they could now see was a barely conscious girl, obviously struggling to breathe.

"Help, please, werewolf…werewolf…not real.." She muttered and then her head fell back against the wall of the alley way. Nico just caught her head before it hit against the wall. Piper and Annabeth both gasped as her eyes rolled back.

"She's alright, she fainted, probably from shock." Chiron said as he saw Percy's alarmed look

They looked down at her, all of them knew that she had to be a halfblood and she had obviously encountered one of the monsters that had been drawn to the place, how, they didn't know.

"We have to take her back to camp, now, she's injured pretty bad," Percy said, looking up at Chiron.

"Yeah, but we still need to find the source of the dark powerful magic remember," Annabeth replied to percy.

"We've already found it, it's lying right in front of us." Chiron said gravely as he stood up and walked out of the alleyway, deep in thought. Leo just shrugged, picked the small girl up-she was very light- and followed him as they headed back to camp to meet the others.

Scarlette

Scarlette felt a pain on her shoulder as she tried to open her eyes. She found that she couldn't open them. She became aware that she was lying on a bed. She had fell asleep on a park bench hadn't she? What's more, she had had the weirdest dream about a werewolf. A werewolf of all things! Suddenly, she heard voices.

"Is she alright then?" She heard a female voice ask.

"Yeah, she's doing fine," Another replied.

"She was in a state when we found her," A dark, almost sarcastic voice supplied.

"Still pretty though," A cheerful voice commented. "Ouch!" Scarlette heard the distinctive sound of someone being hit around the head. "Piper!" The voice complained.

Scarlette groaned and sat up, sick of being talked about by people she didn't even know. She opened her eyes and stretched, instantly regretting it as a sharp pain ran up her shoulder. She grabbed it and gasped.

"You were scratched by the Lycanthrope," A blonde girl supplied for her. Seeing her look of confusion, a boy with black hair and sea green eyes explained. "The werewolf,"

"Oh, yeah, the werewolf that I though was just a dream. Oh and the moving ground and magic as well I suppose." Scarlette replied, not sounding sarcastic, just exhausted. She felt that there was no point denying it when the proof was on her shoulder and very, very real. They seemed surprised at her accepting reaction, but none of them commented on it at all.

"So, where the heck am i?" Scarlette questioned them.

Scarlette walked reluctantly down to where she had been told the pavilion was to eat. Her mind was about to burst with all of the information that they had just given her. She still wasn't sure that she believed everything that they had told her, surely if she was half god, she wouldn't be as pathetic as she was? Shaking her head, she walked into the pavilion to a collection of gasps from the campers sitting down at the table. Scarlette froze until she noticed a weird glow coming from above her head. Looking upwards, she saw a sun and a harp-thing? A lyre, she supposed, remembering that this stuff was all greek. But didn't that mean she was a-

"Scarlette, Daughter of Apollo." Chiron announced. The picture above her head flickered and dulled as Chiron was speaking. Scarlette's mouth fell ope, she wasn't exactly described as 'sunny' by other people. Glaring dangerously at everyone she saw looking at her, she reluctantly slouched towards the Apollo table and glared at them angrily, as if silently daring them to break out in song. She followed everyones example and chucked some food in the fire for the god's and sat down next to a blonde boy who was grinning annoyingly.

"So, you enjoying it here, name's Lysander" he tried talking to her.

"Yeah, the infirmary is just great, lice head." She replied instantly and didn't care about the broken look on his face as she stood up and left the pavilion, not looking behind her. She found herself sitting underneath a tree on the outskirts of the forest,

"Hey, when was the last time you ate?" She turned around at the voice and glared. It was one of the boys from before, Leo, she thought.

"Three days ago." She replied curtly. "Good thing I brought you this then, he said and placed a tray in front of her, with all of her food on it.

"Thanks." She replied, "Now get lost." Leo just grinned and ran off back to the pavilion, no, sorry, he skipped back to the pavilion. Scarlette sighed and lay her head in her arms, feeling a headache coming on. She was dreading when she would have to go and stay in a cabin with all of those sunny, singing, shouting, stupid idiots that were apparently her half-siblings.

"Oh boy…" She muttered and leant against the tree trunk.
