Martha: I'm staying out of this one.

Tessa: Me too.

Me: Okay. I guess it's up to Alessia and Lina.

Alessia: I'm too lazy.

Lina: I don't get it. You can swim in a fifty meter pool five days a week, but you're too lazy to say that wizchickswimmer doesn't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or the Heroes of Olympus and that all rights go to Rick Riordan?

Alessia: Thank you Lina!

Chapter 4

Alessia Schmidt's POV

I guess I knew that something was going to go wrong when the day started. The first thing I saw when I wke up was a letter that read: If you and your family don't leave today, I will personally kill you all. -S. I thought that it was my friend Sara trying to play a prank on me.

When Lina and I caught up with Sara at school, I brought it up.

"I didn't do it." Sara said innocently, "And S could be anyone. I'd start with Sean Shermans, though."

Then on the way home, Lina told me that the Greek gods were real, I realized that it wasn't a prank. I practically dragged Lina to my house, only to find it sorounded by police cars and caution tape.

"What happened?" I asked the nearest cop.

"Why do you want to know?"

"It might just be because I live there!" I said.

"Oh, you're Alessia Schmidt?"

"Yes!"

"We not sure exactley how it happened, but your foster parents and sisiter died. The house is still completely in tact, though."

"Wait, what do you mean, foster?"

"We found your adoption records in the attic.

Mom, Dad, and Zoey are all dead, I thought. I honestly couldn't believe it.

"Alessia," Lina said with a worried look on her face, "We've got to go. You can stay with me."

Once we were sure the cops couldn't hear us I asked, "We're not going to your house, are we?"

"No," Lina replied, "Keep running and don't stop until I tell you to."

So that's what werdid. We covered most of Long Island in five hours and twenty eight minutes. Lina said that demigods had greater stamina than mortals did.

So, yeah. We got to Camp Half-Blood, I was nearly decapitated, two of Lina's friends ran up to help us, and the real battle began.

The whatever-it-was was really fast. We were so busy dodging it that we couldn't get close to it.

"What the Hades is that beeping noise?" The blonde girl asked.

"I have no clue, Tessa!" The brunette said.

"It's my phone!" I yelled.

"I am such an idiot!" Lina screamed in between attacks, "We should've ditched your phone twenty eight miles ago!"

"Why Copaigue?" The brunette asked, "Why not Melville?"

"Does that really matter, Martha?" Tessa asked.

That's when the whatever-it-was started retreating, and the four of us ran over the hill to Camp Half-Blood.

I know, not my greatest work. Thanks for reading! More to come soon! PLEASE REVIEW!
