Chapter 3:
Madison's POV
"Good Job Seaweed Brain!"
I regretted saying it as soon as it left my mouth. I was watching the battle from a far careful not to interfere. Percy looked everywhere before he fell unconscious. I jumped down from my hiding place and put the satyr Grover and the Son of the Sea God over my shoulders and carried them to camp. I snuck my way into the infirmary and placed them both on separate beds careful not to mess with their wounds. The satyr kept muttering 'food'. Typical satyrs. I placed the Minotaur's horn right next to Percy under his arm. He looked so peaceful except for the fact that he was drooling. I made an attempt to hide my laughter, but a giggle slipped out.
I heard Chiron the Centaur gallop towards the room. I quickly climbed my way to the roof and watched as the centaur noticed the hero and the satyr. He started tending to their wounds and then Chiron noticed the Minotaur horn. He called in a girl named Annabeth who started muttering 'the one', and started tending to Percy's wounds. Grover was up in about five minutes and freaking out about his searchers licenses.
I silently made my way down from my hiding place once everyone left the room. I watched as Percy slept before I left to tell Poseidon that my mission was a success. Before I left I heard Percy mutter in his slept, crystal blue eyes.
Percy's POV
I woke with a start. I dreamt about that mysterious girl that I kept seeing. When I woke, Grover greeted me with a big hug and hairy goat legs. Off course none of that with the Minotaur was a dream. I really lost my mom! I was freaking out, until my old Latin teacher, Mr. Brunner, came in and he was part HORSE! I started hyperventilating. He told me his name is really Chiron. When I asked how I got in here, he replied by saying I don't know. Great I mysteriously appeared here.
Madison's POV
After my audience with Poseidon, I had to head back to Camp Half-Blood. My next mission is to watch over Percy until he is claimed then bring him to the Palace. I don't know why I agreed reluctantly.
Because you love him!A voice spoke in my head.
Aphrodite?
Yes Champion and you know what I said is true.
What! No, I just met him. I do not like him.
Ha! I saidlovenot 'like' that means its true!
What! No!
I never got another reply after that. Once I made it to the camp, I made sure to stay hidden in the shadows. I watched as a couple of Ares' kids were dragging Percy to the bathroom. I made my way over there and watched as everyone was soaked, but Percy. I laughed silently to myself.
The week went by pretty fast. Percy swordfight skills were amazing when he battled Luke, Son of Hermes. It was time for capture the flag. I would enjoy watching from the woods more places to hide. I watched as the game begun. Five Ares kids surrounded Percy near the creek. They don't know how dead they are! As if on cue, a green trident was glowing above Percy's head and everyone was bowing. I came out from my hiding spot.
"It's about time." I said leaning against a tree with my arms crossed.
"It's you." Percy said recognizing me from his apartment. I decided to play with him a little.
"Ya, it's me, and that's a tree and that's a rock and…"
"You know what I meant. You've been following me. Why?"
"Such a Seaweed Brain! I was told to watch over you by none other than your father. Now you need to come with me, but don't worry we will be back by sunset."
"What? I'm not going anywhere! I don't even know who you are!"
"I was going to explain on the way. Let's go."
"But…"
"Just go with her already and get out of my hair!" Mr. D yelled.
"Why hello Dionysus. Long time no see huh? It's a shame you're on my bad side."
"And why is that?" Mr. D asked.
My eyes began to glow and I set my hair on fire. Mr. D went wide-eyed and flashed out. I chuckled and everyone was staring at me. I looked at Chiron and said:
"Hello again Chiron. It's good to see you. If you don't mind I need to borrow this camper for a little while."
Chiron replied. "Of course My Lady. It is good to see you again so well trained and out on missions. I presume it was you who brought Grover and Percy to the infirmary."
"That is correct. And Chiron, no need for the formal greetings, they don't suit me. Now let's go Perseus."
With that, I turned and dragged the confused demigod behind me.
