"This is Piper." Says Chiron to me and Cameron.
"I'm daughter of Aphrodite." Piper tells us.
For an Aphrodite kid, her hair isn't in very good shape. It's all choppy and she wore it with a few braids near the front. She had a pair of sloppy skinny gray jeans with patches on, and an orange t-shirt that said, "Camp Half Blood", which of course, I'm wearing the shirt too.
Piper continues. "Hades thinks you took his Helm of Darkness. Jenny and I are going to help you guys."
"Oh great." Cameron groans. "Only one guy."
I glance at him. "Who's your parent?" I ask.
"Apollo." He grumbles. "I just got claimed this morning in poetry class."
"Oh." I mutter.
"Well!" Piper says brightly. "We think that the Hermes cabin took it for a trick. Or Hermes himself. But let's not rush into things yet. We'll have to investigate."
We open the door to the Hermes cabin, and a cage drops over our bodies with a clink.
"Oooohhh." Some demigods say.
"Look who we have here!"
"Piper!"
"April, the new girl?"
"Cameron?"
"I'm gonna get Satyr Sickness! Ahhhh!"
They snicker.
"Shut up!" Screams Jenny. "We're here for something serious, not one of your jokes! Well, we are actually here to ask if you did one particular joke."
"Did you steal the Helm of Darkness?" Piper demands.
Everyone bursts into laughter.
"Heck no!" They say.
They all finish chuckling, but when we head towards the door, some let giggles crack out.
The moment we shut the door, we get soaked up with water.
"Not cool, guys!" Cameron shouts.
"Yeah." I echo.
Jenny turns towards us. "Time to go to the Empire State Building. Pack up. We gotta get to Manhattan, New York."
