4. Into the Wild!... Not the Song

Antonella

I walked into the forest trying to find the rest of the group. As in the rest of the group, I mean the people who are going to the quest.

I was trying to find the place where they said they would meet when something- more like someone- grabbed my hand and pulled me. I couldn't see because of the trees and overgrown grass.

Once I was in a clearing, I saw who was dragging me. It was Nikki. Over the days when we got the quest, we were trying to find more evidence and that I think, not quite so sure yet, that my dear friend, Nikita, might have found a boyfriend. Who is this guy I am talking about?

He is Luke. Luke Castellan. Yup, back from the dead.

"Now that we are all here-"Brooke said. But I interrupted her.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"I was going to explain that," Brooke said. I nodded for her to keep going.

"OK, since you all know our two hopeless days of research..." We all nodded remembering the boringness and sadness when we found nothing through the whole library."… I have found what we need for a time limit. The island is how many millennia old, right? Well, I was asking Ella, the harpy, what I should do. She told me everything I wanted to know. Not to mention that there are two people, not including my mom, who live there. According to research that I found in a book, they were banished from here because the mom married a human."

"Wait, wait, wait," Luke said," they were banished?! I have never heard of that. What type of research are you talking about anyways?"

"I mean research from old scrolls in the Athena cabin. Now, as I was saying, we only have one week before the whole island is gone forever. Zap. Bomb. Gone. That means only seven days to rescue my mom and the two nymphs. Also, not to mention, that something horrible is rising."

"No durh, Sherlock," Vanessa said. That was the first thing she had said. Not to mention the far off look she was having.

"I don't know of anyone banishing anyone! How is it possible?" Nikita asked us.

"Well, why don't we ask Grover and Juniper? They might have a clue of who got banished," I said to them. They all looked at me.

"What? Was it something I said?"

"You're a genius, Ella!" Vanessa said to me.

"Thanks?"

"Now, where is Grover and Juniper? We'll need that information soon. As in soon, I mean now," Luke said.

"Where could they be? Aren't they on a trip for something about flower power something something?" Brooke said.

"Well, we could PM him," Vanessa said.

"OK, then, who has a drachma?" I said.

None of them answered.

"Really? Fine." I fished out a drachma out of my pocket and Luke helped me with the water.

"Oh, Goddess Iris, please show me Grover Underwe-wood," Luke said. The face of Grover shimmered in front of us.

"Oh, um- LUKE?! What are you doing here?!" Grover yelled.

"Hey G-Man. Um… I escaped from the Underworld. Yeah."

"Dang dude! I never knew you would rebel! Any news down there?"

"Well, Bianca, Beckendorf, Silena, P-"

"Yeah, yeah. Hi, I'm Antonella Nightshade, we want-"

"You aren't possibly sisters with Zoe Nightshade.

We kept talking about ways to get there when we were interrupted by a big wild roar followed with a high pitched scream.

"That sounded like Drew." We all rushed off. What were we facing? Well, once we got into camp, we saw something we thought we would never see again.

A whole mini army. "Well, guys, I guess the battle's just begun," I said to them.

We did the most common thing a demigod could do, we charged.
