Chapter 4
Camp Half-Blood
Annabeth was about to go to the infirmary but changed her direction halfway through. She decided to go to the Big House and consult Chiron first. On her way, she was joined by Jason, Piper and Leo who had just heard about the peculiar monster from Nico.
When they reached the Big House, Chiron seemed to be having a very serious conversation with Mr D. Even Mr D looked very serious, so the topic could not have been good.
Annabeth cleared her throat, making Chiron and Mr D stop talking and turn their attention to the demigods. The four of them took a seat and Annabeth addressed Chiron.
"Chiron," she said, getting straight to the point,"I just fought a monster that I have never seen or heard of before. It was almost ridiculously strong for a monster. Thankfully, it wasn't very intelligent."
Chiron looked thoughtful. "Can you tell me what it looked like? I might be able to tell what it is from its description."
Annabeth nodded and started describing the monster's appearance. As she went on, creases appeared between Chiron's eyebrows and the faces of Jason, Piper and Leo became paler. When she finished, Chiron's face was grave and he seemed immersed in his thoughts.
Finally, after what seemed to be an eternity but was actually a few seconds, Chiron spoke,"I must say, I have never heard of any monsters like that before. Mr D, have you?"
"No," said Mr D. But there was something about his posture that said that he knew more than he was letting on. Annabeth narrowed her eyes at him but did not ask. Mr D would probably turn her into a dolphin or something if she accused him.
Annabeth turned her attention towards Chiron. "What should we do now?"
Chiron's eyebrows were still knitted together. "We have not decided anything yet. I shall look up this monster. If I find anything I would be sure to inform you. Until we have further information, you are to keep quite about this topic to the younger campers."
Annabeth nodded. She was not entirely satisfied but she decided not to pursue the subject any further. She and the others got up and left the Big House.
As soon as the four demigods left the Big House(and were well out of hearing range), Mr D turned to Chiron.
"Why didn't you tell them about Athena's plan? That Anniebelle girl's pretty strong. She could handle it."
Chiron shook his head. "She might have handled it but she would not have agreed to it."
"Really? But isn't it a good plan? I thought Athena kids were all about plans."
"Perhaps. But there's a spy at camp."
It took some time for Mr D to process this information. This sort of serious stuff was really not his cup of wine, or in this century, diet coke. He also could not understand why Chiron was telling this right now.
After a long time, something finally seemed to click in his mind.
"Oh, you mean we don't know who it is?"
Chiron face palmed.
"Mr D, is that all you could think about?"
Dionysus thought about this. Finally, he said,"We don't know who might be listening?"
"What I'm saying, is that the traitor is definitely among those for.
Oohh! A cliffhanger! I wonder who the spy is? Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out. Bwhahahaha! Any ways, don't forget to leave a review. R&R,F&F.
