Chapter Seven:

The Next Day…

Brooklynn Smet

After I had everything that I needed ready to go, I grabbed a dracuma from my nightstand and went to the Hecate cabin to pick up the vials of potion. I knocked and Maylin let me in.

"Dracuma?" Lou Ellen asked me.

I handed it over and she handed me three sealed beakers with a name written on each one.

"Drink those ten minutes before going into the water. About five minutes after consuming it, step into the water so it can be successful or you could die from lack of water since you are going to become a mermaid. Think of a fish without water. As I said before, it will last for two days. If for some reason Poseidon sends you away before those two days are up, here's another potion to take once you reach the surface. It's a fast acting potion, so do NOT drink it while underwater. It immeadiatly removes your mermaid tail and you are instantly human again." Lou Ellen said and handed me three vials with our names on them.

"Thank you so much, Lou Ellen, Milo and Maylin. This helps us out a lot."

The three of them smiled and Lou Ellen said, "It's our pleasure doing business with you."

As I walked out, I saw Lou Ellen open a box and throw the dracuma into it among what I thought to be dozens of dracumas. They must have had quite the business going since their mother was Hecate.

Bekalynn Smet

"Brook, are we taking our cars?"

"Yes, Beka. They are still just outside of the camp boundry."

"Alright. Maryanne, you will travel with me. Do we have the air fresheners to throw our scent off?"

"Yes, Beka." Brooklynn said again, sounding like a broken record.

"Alright. Let's go then!" I exclaimed and grabbed my stuff and walked out the door.

I threw my stuff in my trunk and we put Maryanne's things in the back seat. I placed several car fresheners in the trunk and throughtout the car. We climbed into the front and off we went. Brooklynn followed a safe distance behind us.

Percy Jackson

I was showing Harmony around when Rachel stopped me and asked me who she was.

"Harmony LaCoste." Harmony answered.

Rachel studied her intensly and shook her head.

"Harmony, stay here for a moment." I instructed.

"Okay."

I pulled Rachel out of hearing distance and asked her, "What's wrong?"

"I don't like her."

"Why?"

"She's evil. I know it."

"She can't be. She's blind."

"The blind have enhanced senses, Percy."

"So?"

"I still don't like her. Nor do I trust her. Be careful."

With that, Rachel left.

Okay then… I thought to myself and walked back to Harmony to continue showing her everything as best as I could.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare

"Have you met that Harmony girl?" I asked Annabeth.

"Yes." Annabeth said with a scowl.

"What do you think of her?"

"I don't like her, or trust her for that matter."

"Really? I don't either. I know she's evil but you know Percy. He won't listen."

"She's got that vibe that says she's evil. Instinct told me that." Annabeth agreed.

"We have to do something."

"What can we do? No one will believe us because she's blind."

I pouted and said, "You're right. Someone has to agree with us. We just have to find them."

"Maybe the Apollo kids? One of them might have an ability similar to yours."

"We can only hope, Annabeth."

Aisling

It was so dark. I couldn't see anything. My eyes wouldn't open and my body wouldn't move. Then all of a sudden I was dropped on what I assumed to be the ground. I was eventually able to open my eyes again. I saw a pine tree in front of me with a golden blanket hanging on it's branches with a dragon looking thing curled up at the base of the tree and a camp down the valley.

"What kind of place is that?" I asked myself out loud.

I tried to stand up but fell down again.

"Oomph." I complained.

I heard a rustling in the tree and a girl with black hair and sky blue eyes jumped down from it.

"Name's Thalia Grace. Who are you?"

"My name is Aisling."

She held her hand out to me and I took it. She helped me up and I leaned against her, since I was still dizzy. That's when I noticed the bruises and cuts on my skin.

"Dang girl. You have been through an adventure." Thalia said to me.

"I cannot remember it though."

"You're serious?"

"Yes I am."

"Wow. You need to see Chiron immediately."

"Who is this Chiron?"

"A centaur."

I nodded and followed Thalia down the hill to the large house that sat in the middle.

Nico di Angelo

I watched Thalia walk down the hill with a girl with white hair to the Big House. I walked to the Big House from my cabin to find out who this girl was.

When I walked in, Thalia was in the kitchen drinking soda. I grabbed one and asked, "So who is she?"

"Aisling. That's all she remembers. She has no idea where she came from or anything."

I raised an eyebrow at her in disbelief and she said, "I'm serious! That's what she told me."

Thalia and I walked into the main room where Chiron was questioning her.

"Are you sure that you don't remember anything?" Chiron asked.

"Yes. I cannot remember a single thing, except my name."

Chiron turned to us and said, "Extreme amnesia. We will need Clovis. I only hope that he can help us."

Thalia nodded and her and I went to the Hypnos cabin to fetch Clovis.
