Okay, not as great as I would have hoped, but I think it's good enough for now. More soon, and please review.

I don't own Percy Jackson.

Sapphire's POV

Right as Percy jumped out of the car I opened my door to jump out and Annabeth was already out there, man she was fast. When I got out I got my sword and put the celestial bronze on it in less than five seconds. It took Lily the same amount of time to get her sword out and run around the van to find out what Percy was fighting.

I have no idea what this thing was, but the tail looked very familiar. It had a head of a lion, with a goat head on it's back and the end of it's tail was a snake.

"It's a Chimera, it breaths fire, watch out!" Annabeth shouted. Well, at least I know what it's called now.

Percy and Annabeth took the lion head, l told Lily to take the goat head, and I took the snake head. This was all to familiar with the swiping and missing. It kept trying to bite me, but I kept dodging and striking. I couldn't see what Annabeth and Percy were doing, but it looked like they were annoying it because every once and a while I heard the lion head roar in pain. Eventually I stabbed the snake in the eye and while it was off guard I cut off the head and then pulled a Lily, rolling underneath it and then stabbing it in the stomach, but I hurried out from under it. Right as I stabbed it, Percy and Annabeth managed to cut the lion head off and then it disintegrated.

"Get in the van, now," Annabeth said, "I don't want something else to come after us."

"Good thing I'm driving," I muttered as I drove away.

"So did anyone get burned," Percy asked, "cause I did."

"No," I replied.

"Not me," Lily said in a worried voice.

"I think my clothes and hair got singed but that's it, Where did you get burned Percy," Annabeth asked.

"Oh, just my arm, I'm fine," He responded but he was sitting next to me in the front and I saw the angry looking burn on his arm.

"That doesn't look fine," I told him.

"Just give me some nectar and ambrosia and I'll be fine," Percy said as Annabeth took his arm and examined it.

"Alright, but we check it every few hours, got it," Annabeth told him.

"Yes mother," he said under his breath, and I started laughing.

"What,"Lily asked almost blankly.

"Oh, nothing," I covered for Percy and wondering if Lily was okay.

After an hour we crossed into Kansas and six hours after that we crossed into Colorado. During that time Percy's arm kept getting a little better, but not by much. There was nothing we could do about it though so we kept driving nonstop, we didn't want to have anymore monsters show up either, one a day is enough. When we got into Colorado though, it was a barren wast land. No one in sight for miles and miles. Kansas was underwater too, but at least they had some people there who were trying to help clean up.

We kept on driving though, and we reached Colorado and by the time we had to switch we were about an hour and a half away from Utah.

"Urg, this van is going to be the death of me," Lily complained as we switched seats without getting out of the car.

"We'll be to the ocean tomorrow, I promise. Then we can plan for a day and head over to the island the next day, somehow, okay," I told her and Annabeth and Percy agreed with me.

"Fine," she said grumpily looking almost scared and laid down to sleep some more. I don't blame her though. Just sitting in a car, not even driving it once, for like three or four days can be really frustrating, especially for someone who has ADHD. I think that's why I like to drive fast, because of the disorder. Oh well, it doesn't matter, I thought to myself just before I fell into a deep and dreamless sleep, one of the first ones I've had in a while, too.

By the time I woke up we were already an hour away from California and Annabeth was driving with Lily next to her not looking too much better.

"We should be to the coast in about four hours, but we need to be careful, we don't want anymore monsters attacking," Annabeth and Lily said.

"Do you want me to take the wheel, there's no one out here so we can drive as fast as we want," I asked.

"It's okay I;ll keep driving. Actually now that I think about it, we should let Lily learn to drive. We've been it the whole time and she's just been sitting in the back doing nothing for four days," Annabeth suggested.

"Sure that's a great idea," I told her.

"Yes, yes, yes! I definitely want to do something for once," Lily said looking a lot better at the suggestion.

"Okay, let me just pull over for a moment, then we can switch really quickly, got it," Annabeth said sternly.

"Yep shouldn't take more than thirty seconds," Lily said still looking a bit distant, but better.

So the rest of the way there Lily drove with Annabeth next to her, keeping her in check, and Percy in the back seat, snoring up a storm. When we got to the coast about five hours later, it was roughly 1:00 P.M. and we got out to stretch our legs, the first real chance we've had in four days.

"Okay, we need to come up with a plan," Annabeth started, "For things like how are we going to get this van to the island, we may need it. And what are we going to do when we get there. We have know idea what we're up against," Annabeth told us.

"Well, I don't know what were up against, but I do have you van problem fixed," I replied, "Watch this."

Then I turned around to face the ocean and closed my eyes in thought, and when I opened them again, there was a road made of ice just above the waves by a few feet. I walked up to it and started jumping on it.

"Look, solid as a rock, we can just drive there and I can just make more road when we find the end of what's here. Plus it won't melt unless I let it," I told them

"Sapphire that's amazing! Will it hold the van though," Annabeth asked.

"Sure it will, I know it can. If you want to test it you can it won't fall though. If Percy and Lily are okay with this, I've been thinking that we could go over in a boat so there's less weight, but only if they're okay with it.

"That's a good Idea, I think you both should go with her," Annabeth said enthusiasticly.

"I'm fine with that," Lily said the same distant look back in her eyes. I couldn't tell if Percy and Annabeth could tell or not, but if they could they were just leaving her alone.

"Sure I'll go, " Percy replied, interrupting my thoughts.

"Well I'm going to go take a walk I'll be back soon," Lily said and before we could object she was already running away.

"Hurry back," I yelled, but I wasn't sure if she heard me or not. "Don't worry, she'll be back soon. She's just used to being alone, she just needs some space," I told Percy and Annabeth who looked a little bit more relaxed with that information, but not by much.

"Are you sure we shouldn't follow her," Annabeth asked a little worried.

"She's fine, she has a weapon, some food and ambrosia in her pack, don't worry," I told them.

"Well all right, but she's on her own, she can't cry to us for help, okay," Percy said irritably as he walked back towards the van.

"Percy! We'll help her if she needs it," Annabeth told me seeing my horrified face, "He only said that because he's grumpy and he's just irritated that she's not helping us. He really doesn't feel that way," Annabeth reassured me.

"Well, it doesn't matter,she'll be back soon and I'll ask her what's up," I told Annabeth.

"Well, okay, but what are you going to do until then?"

"I'm gonna go practice something I've been dying to try. Don't worry I won't go far, just out into the water a little way."

"Sure, see ya later then," She replied as she started towards the van.

Then during the next four hours I got a surfboard and I tried to go surfing but it wasn't working.

I kept falling off because I was trying to not manipulate the water. I finally got a little better at about 5:30 P.M. and then I got really tired so I went back to the van to lay down and I saw that Percy and Annabeth were asleep. I was so out of it from surfing though, that all I did was get a granola bar and went to sleep.

In my dream I was following Lily, who looked like she was on an island like Hawaii. She was going up a mountain and then she dove down and someone caught her. He was huge and could only be Typhon, but he looked tired and not up to anything, it was a miracle he caught her.

Then she looked at him, and said "Hello, I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner, but your sacrifices took a lot longer than I thought to get here. They're still at the beach."

That's when I woke up screaming "Nooooooooooooo." Then I started sobbing into my pillow as Annabeth and Percy woke up and they started asking me what's wrong.

The only thing I said was "Lily's gone."
