On with the story!
*Grovers POV*
Why didn't I call camp. They offered help but I refused. Just because I'm a Lord of the Wild I thought I could handle it.
"Grover!" a scream coming from Melina woke me up from my trail of thought. I realised we'd made it away from it. We were sat panting heavily behind a thorn bush just across the road from half-blood hill, we'd almost made it. I was with two new demigods I'd found in florida, Melina Martinez and Cali Brown, a daughter of apollo and a daughter of hermes I think.
"Grover what was that?" Cali asked me, her face full of confusion. The truth is, I didn't know. It was so dark I could hardly see my own hooves. Yeah, hooves. You see, I'm a satyr- half goat.
"Look guys, I have no idea what that was, but we have to get you to camp. The boundary is just over the road, on top of that hill with the pine tree." I was getting desperate, if that thing found us again we were in trouble.
"so all that stuff you said about the greek gods- its all real?" Melina asked
"yeah. I would off told you before but..." I was cut off by a loud groan from next to me. Cali was lying next to us, unconsious, with a deep wound in her shoulder. Standing only about 10 meters away was someone- something- that I remembered very well. Dr Thorn, the manticore.
"you alredy took two demigods from under my nose many years ago and I will not let it happen again. Either surrender too me or you die!" Dr thorn snarled. Melina had picked up Cali and was holding her tight. Luckily Cali is only small so doesn't weigh too much.
"They won't do neither. Not if we can help it." I whisked my head around to see who had spoke and Nico and Connor Stoll were standing there. Thank the gods!
"Nico, Connor!" I yelled.
"Hey grover!" connor said, but he wasn't looking at me, he was staring intently at Cali. 'No wonder' I thought 'he recognises her as his sister.'
"Grover, you come help me finish him off, Connor you take the girls to camp." Nico said. With that Connor ran over to melina and helped her with Cali while me and Nico ran over to the manticore.
"I'll distract it while you go round the back andf deal with the tail." I said to nico. I don't remember the next few minutes very well, but nico managed to cut of the tail and, withhout his main weapon Dr Thorn was a really bad fighter. we finished him off pretty quick and caught up with Melina and Connor.
*Connor's POV*
Well that was a bit more exiting than a campfire. I was out with Nico at the time, just taking a walk so we didn't have to listen to announcements when we heard a loud groan coming from somewhere outside of camp. We rushed towards the sound and saw grover with two demigods, both girls with no other than the manticore no more than ten meters in front of them and I know about nicos bad experience with that particular monster.
"Nico, Connor!" Grover yelled. he sounded so releived.
"Hey Grover!" I shouted back but I wasn't looking at him, I was looking at the girl on the floor. 'She must be a daughter of Hermes!' I thought.
"Grover, you come and help me finish it off, Connor you take the girls to camp." Nico said. I ran over to the two demigods and helped the brown haired girl pick up the one that was obviously my sister. With Nico and grover taking care of the monster i took it asd my chance to take a proper look at the girl with brown hair. Her hair was shoulder legnth and curly, though not as curly as annabeths (thats not humanly-or demigodly- possible) but still pretty. her eyes were really light brown, so they almost looked golden.
"Is grover and that other guy going to be alright?" she asked as we walked up half blood hill. She looked cute when she was worried.
"Yea they've had lots of experience with that sort of thing," I explained, "and that other guys called Nico- he's a son of Hades and played a big part in the second war against the titans, and I'm connor stoll, son of Hermes"
"Oh right. I'm Melina Martinez and this is Cali Brown." She said
"Hey guys" Nico and Grover came up the hill behind us.
"We finished him off w..." Nico stopped suddenly staring above Melina's and Cali's heads. Melina had a glowing image of a yellow sun, whilst Cali had a green caduceus. 'I knew Cali was my sister' I thought.
"What?" Melina asked
"Your godly parent." Grover said, "your a daughter of Apollo, and Cali is Connors sister, daughter of Hermes." With that said we took Cali to the infermary where they fixed her up pretty good, talked to Chiron and whent to a meeting for the head councellors.
*Annabeths POV*
"We've decided the on the list for the search for Daedalus' Hideout." Percy announced to the group of head councellors sitting in front of us.
"Yeah," I said, "and because of the numbers and the places we need to cover, we might have to choose some other campers aswell. For Kamicos we've put down Castor and Pollux, the Stolls and Katie for paridise island, Grover and malcom are going to crete with Thalia, Silena your going with Beckendorf and Clarisse to Haiti whilst me, Percy and Nico will go to Athens."
"What a surprise!" Thalia came and sat down, "your going to Athens!"
"Haha" I said sarcasticly, though inside I was burning up with exitement!
"That just leaves Miami so does any one have any suggestions?" Nico added.
"I think Dimitri." Katie said
"Dimitri Brown son of Demeter?" Percy asked
"Well no seaweed brain, cos' there's thousands of Dimitri's at camp isn't there?" I said sarcasticly, again.
"I don't know, we've got so many campers now I can't keep track." Percy said
"I think Melina and Cali should go with him." Connor said. "I know they just got here but none of the campers want too and besides, they could use the experience."
"Ok." I said, "Dimitri, Melina and Cali for Miami." Go ahead, call me crazy, but Connor looked pretty damn serious, and he's never serious about anything.
