Chapter 4

Chris:

Today was the worst day of my life so far. First, I get waken up by Chris 's loud fists at like 6 in the morning. Then, I find out that the life of Camp Half Blood is kidnapped. Then, I find out we're going on a quest to find her, alright, whatever; quest are no big deal. But if we don't find her in less than a month, the camp is dead! And just now, during Archery class, I got a month of kitchen duty after I get back from the quest (that is… if I even come back from it) because I was thinking about the bad things that happened before, and aimed my arrow straight through Chiron's hair. Great huh?

Well, I'm now preparing rock climbing class; I'm sure I'll be trenched in the lava somehow, I just know it. Even after years of practice, today felt like when I first got attacked by a monster. Gods, save me!

"Attention all Demigod Campers!" Chiron spoke out through a microphone thingy. "All classes for the next 2 hours are cancelled due to an important meeting!" Great… time to do… nothing. I'll just go find Claris—. I had to hold back my thought because that's when Mr. D came on the microphone thingy. "All quest members to the meeting lounge. Now." He said in the boring, I-hate-this-job tone.

As I was walking towards the big house, I heard people whispering and pointing to me. I heard some 'what quest?' and some, 'no way!' and some, 'Oh Gods, is he going?' and the last familiar quote, 'AGAIN?' I just sighed, and walked on.

When I was almost there, I bumped into Gracey, who was walking out the door. Lucky I didn't walk any slower, or the door would've hit me in the face. 3 cheers for my bad day…

"Oh hey, Chris. Going to the meeting too?" I was going to respond when I heard a group of people behind me gasp and whisper, "her too!" We turned around and saw a group of people looking at us, and I just noticed the gossip group in the Aphrodite cabin were following me. Seriously? Did they really have to do that? I decided to make them feel guilty.

"Something wrong with my back? Or am I suddenly really attractive?" I heard Gracey snicker behind me, and their faces turned from surprised, to worried, to jealous, to some other girl emotions I don't care about.

"We… uh.. we weren't following you, you know?" Daughter of Aphrodite, Penelope struggled to say.

"Guilty." Gracey pointed.

"Didn't say you were following me did I…" I stated with my pressuring voice.

"I, We… Hey! Aren't you suppose to be on our side, Gracey?" Another daughter of Aphrodite named, Candy said looking over my shoulder at Gracey. I looked back at Gracey and she waved her hand at her sisters and whispered,

"Run, before I come get you." And just by that quote I turned around seeing the pretty Aphrodite kids running away. They stopped after a few meters of running and started walking.

"Hmph. Typical scardy cat Aphrodite's." I shook my head. Whoops, I forgot who was behind me. I turned around and Gracey was giving me the eyebrow look.

"sorry…" I innocently said. I thought she was going to beat me up, unlike all the other girls, she's brave and bold. I guess she gets that from her firefighter daddy. But all she said back was,

"C'mon, we're late" and we started to walk to the big house.

When we taking our seats inside the 'meeting lounge' as Mr. D would call it; Annabeth instantly sang out, "your late…" I rolled my eyes and sat down in-between Percy and Nico while Gracey sat beside Mr. D and Annabeth.

"okay… what's the emergency?" I asked Chiron.

"After I taught the Hermes Cabin…" He looked at me suspiciously, I instantly sank into my chair and tried to cover my face somehow by looking down, and around the room. He started to continue, "… and the Athena cabin an Archery class" No look for Annabeth… "I went to take a 20 minute nap before I went to the rock climbing wall lessons, and Dionysus was in the middle of a nap before I took one. And when we woke up, we both had a dream that has to do with the quest. I told Dionysus about our discussion in the morning, and we thought about how the dream setup may be. We thought that maybe the dream was—."

"Hold up! Mr. D cooperated?" Clarisse interrupted.

"Hey! I'm god of wine, not god of… what ever the opposite of cooperation is!" Mr. D yelled back.

"I think that would be god of competition…" Percy said as if he was thinking about it.

"Shush! I don't need your wimpy help, Johnson!"

"Jackson. Percy Jackson." Percy corrected. The name's not too hard considering he's one of the Olympian hero's and yet, Mr. D still calls him Peter Johnson. Who's a wimp now… After Percy's correction, Mr. D snapped his fingers and Percy was tied to his chair with grape vines.

"Dionysus…" Chiron grumbled. Percy let out a this-always-happens-to-me sigh and was free from the vines. Percy and Mr. D exchanged a slight death glare, but it was soon back to normal again, well… most things. Then Chiron started talking, once again.

"As I was saying.." He cleared his throat, "We though that maybe the dreams are setup in a way that would be the last thing we ever checked. But we'll find it… Oh we'll find it…"

"What did you see in your dream anyways?" Nico asked quietly.

" I saw Rachel, being pulled by a man like you guys, but they were in a different place." The whole group was even more interested in listening now. " I saw them in a dark place still, but there was a stream of something beside them. Rachel was thrown into it, and then I finally heard the voice of the man. He yelled out 'DIE!' and the voice echoed through the scene. His voice was a bit hoarse but very bold. But much weaker than Kronos' voice." Chiron explained.

I noticed that every time Chiron speaks it's always a handful of information, I guess that's good for us…

"I saw the man." Mr. D bragged. The whole room filled with gasp. "Well.. part of his back…" He added. Then the room changed from gasps to oh's.

"He had long curly hair. He must have been a god or something, because he changed from his minimized form, to his true form, back to his small form." Mr. D Described.

"Did you see anything else other than his hair?" Gracey asked.

"Yeah" He simply replied.

"And that was…?" Percy asked moving his hands forward.

"I didn't hear a please…?" Mr. D said acting like a snob. Chiron let out a sigh and shook his head.

"PLEASE?" the whole group yelled with no patience. It was amazing to see how all of us could say that together with such nice flow…

"Fine, fine, fine, he was tall and a little buff."

"We already know that, Mr. Dumb Nut head!" Clarisse impatiently yelled.

"I wasn't finished! He… glowed when he was in his true form, and… um. OH YES! When he lifted his arms up angrily, He created a tornado along with a storm. Then a man cackled from the air; and the storm got bigger."

I didn't notice before, but Annabeth was jotting all these notes down, and everyone was calculating something; even Gracey.

"Okay, I give up. I don't get it, what are we suppose to be thinking about?" I said, it came out dumber than it's suppose to sound. Blame my ADHD, I cant sit there and think of what I'm suppose to say; I'll exploded!

"Where… Who… Why..?" Percy said. Then Clarisse answered one of his questions,

"It was someone that wants to make Camp Half Blo—."

"AAHHH!" Nico Exclaimed, gripping his head tightly. Gracey jumped over the table to Nico immediately, knowing that something bad happened.

"What the Hades… Are you okay Nico?" Gracey asked examining him.

"Something… Someone… Hades… Trouble… AAHHH!" He gripped his head harder. By now, everyone was surrounding him; it was so tight, that I could barley breath. Oh well, it was for my friend. Why is he so important? Because, he's son of Hades, Lord of death. It might as well be a sign that Rachel is fading! We have to get the most information we can get in the next 2 days, and this is one of the most important ways.

"WHAT DO YOU SEE, DEATH BOY?" Clarisse shouted in his face. Typical Clarisse talk…

"I see… I see" He struggled to say, still gripping his head with his hands like they were clamps. "I see…" Then he collapse on the table.

"NICO!" Gracey shouted.
