Thalia laughed and said," I should have known."

Veronica offered her a weak smile and replied," I'm sorry but I really-"

"CRASH!" An ear-splitting crack of lighting rumbled through the sky.

Thalia looked up in shock.

"No, it's too soon…"

Veronica yelped in confusion as Thalia grabbed her hand tightly and started hurrying her back to the Artemis Cabin.

"Ow! What's going on? Thalia? THALIA!" Veronica asked persistently as she stared at Thalia, who was practically dragging her through the door.

"What the heck is going on?" Veronica questioned as she lay on a heap on the floor, examining her bruised arm.

Thalia slammed the door shut and slid down to the floor, panting.

"No, no, damn it." She muttered.

Veronica looked at Annabeth and Piper, who were standing in the room, shocked, staring at Thalia and her.

Annabeth's face was stricken with panic, a look Veronica had never seen before on her.

"Annabeth? What's going on?"

She shook her head and cast an anxious look out the window.

Piper sank onto the bed, her head in her hands, muttering," He knows…he knows…"

Veronica had enough.

"PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT"S HAPPENING I AM GOING TO GO OUT THERE AND SEE FOR MYSELF!"

"CRACK!" The second Veronica finished her sentence a bolt of lightning streaked pass her window and sizzled onto the ground.

Veronica stared outside the window in shock.

Heavy rain started to pour down and thunder sounded.

Veronica could hear the kids outside screaming as lightning streaked across the sky.

Veronica stared at the window, raindrops trickling down the glass panes and whirled around to look at Annabeth.

"Bu…but…you…said there…weren't any storms…"

Annabeth shook her head and said in a trembling voice.

"Zeus knows about you."

"Huh? He knows? Okay, what's so bad about that?" Veronica swept her hand through her hair in confusion.

Annabeth gave a weak smile.

"You remind me of Percy so much…"

"Hello? I'm not your boyfriend. Tell me what's going on!"

Annabeth did not answer but instead muttered, "The last time there was a storm was when Percy came to camp…"

Veronica sighed in exasperation and looked at Thalia instead, who was still sitting on the floor, her weight pressed to the door, concentrating on contacting others.

Veronica rolled her eyes and turned to Piper, who was staring out at the window, where it was raining so heavily outside that Veronica could only hear the lighting and the thunder. Plus the screaming.

"Piper? What's going on? Why is there such a huge storm outside?"

Piper sighed and said, "Veronica, Zeus is really angry. I mean, really angry. He must have found out about you. You can't go out now, the only reason why you are still alive and not burnt to a crisp is because this cabin protects you. But I don't know for how long." She eyed the ceiling warily and winced as the cabin gave a small shudder.

Veronica cringed as another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky.

"Wow…he seems pissed."

Thalia stood up.

"Veronica, this is too dangerous. I need to get Lady Artemis here."

Thalia started to open the door.

"NO!" Annabeth and Piper yelled.

Thalia surrendered, her hands up, looking all WOAH.

Suddenly, the door banged open and a boy came stumbling in, trying to escape the storm outside.

Suddenly the room glowed bright silver and a soft light breeze swished pass the boy's face. He blinked in surprise, then collapsed onto the floor.

Thalia started, "Dude, you can't ente-"and stopped talking when she saw his shoulder.

She muttered, "Built in anti-boy system. Any boy who enters Artemis cabin will faint…"

Annabeth slammed the door shut as a loud clap of thunder sounded.

Boy, Zeus was angrier than a cat on bath day.

Veronica stared at the boy on the floor in shock.

He was tall, around thirteen to fourteen, with light brown hair and fine straight features. All in all, he was drop dead gorgeous, except for his shoulder, which was burnt and raw red, the skin flaking.

Annabeth knelt by the boy and examined him.

"Luke!" She cried in shock as she recognised the boy.

"Who's Luke?" Veronica asked frantically, her eyes half closed at the sight of his shoulder.

"He's my brother, a son of Athena."

"Oh."

Veronica felt squeamish. She never liked the sight of wounds.

"Uhh." Luke groaned.

Veronica looked at him in surprise. She thought he was out cold the minute he came through the doors.

Slowly Luke opened his eyes, which were grey like Annabeth, only tinted dark blue.

"Wazzgoinon?"

He tried to get up but collapsed in pain as his shoulder buckled.

"Luke, just stay still!" Annabeth scolded worryingly as she gazed at his burnt shoulder.

Luke murmured, "Lightning…caught fire…trees…got…burnt…"

Piper looked at the half conscious boy in worry.

"He needs a healer Annabeth! We can't get out of here so what are we going to do?"

Thalia casted an anxious look out of the window.

"My dad's not stopping. This kid really needs some help. He looks like he's gonna pass out again."

Veronica leaned over Luke, peeking through her fingers at his wound.

Suddenly, something came over her.

She slowly removed her hands from her face and held them over Luke's wound.

Thalia looked at her in confusion.

"Veronica, why do you look like a constipated ape tr- Oh my gods!"

Veronica looked down at her hands, and to her surprise, they were glowing silver.

Then she looked at Luke's shoulder.

Totally healed.
