Hank's POV
I woke up with a loud noise. After what happened at Vicky's house I was very careful. I sat up in my sleepingbag at looked around the tent. Percy and Annabeth had also woken up. I looked at Percy.
"What do you think it is?" Percy asked looking worried at Annabeth.
"Um, maybe hellhound?" She sounded a bit uncertain. Percy hit Nico on the stomach and covered his mouth so he wouldn't scream.
"What was that for?" He asked rubbing his stomach.
"Possibly a hellhound" Percy said.
"Oh shit" Nico said.
"Um guys were is Thalia?" I said noticing she wasn't in the tent.
"Thals?" Annabeth said walking out of the tent.
"Hank wake Vitoria up and get ready, me are probably gonna have to fight" Percy said getting out of the tent and pulled a pen out of his pocket. How would a pen help? Well this wasn't the time to think about it.
"Whats a hellhound?" I asked Nico.
"Looks like you are gonna find out buddy" He said walking out.
I gently shook Vicky. She stirred and woke up.
"Whats happening?" She asked.
"I could ask you the same, but for now lets go" I said pulling her out of the tent. When I got outside Nico and Percy were looking for Thalia. Annabeth looked really worried. I was about to ask someone what was happening when a HUGE black dog jumped from the trees and lunged towards Percy who uncapped his pen and it turned into a sword. Percy tried to hit the dog but it was too fast and it had knocked Percy down and then jumped to Vicky. I don't know how but somehow I grabbed a sword from the ground and attacked the dog. It was like I wasn't controlling my arms but I kept attacking the dog until it turned into gold dust. Vicky fell on the ground. She was scratched and bleeding. I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her.
"HELP!" I shouted. Annabeth ran up to me with a bottle in her hands. She made Vicky drink some and almost right away she looked way better.
"We need to go to Chiron" Percy said firmly.
"No! We need to find Thalia!" Annabeth said getting up.
"Lets send an Iris Message" Nico said grabbing the sword I had used to kill the dog-thing. "And I would like to have this back"
"Sorry I didn't know it was yours" I said still holding Vicky.
Percy's POV
I walked over to a little creek with a small waterfall. Annabeth followed me and threw me a dramacha in.
"Thalia, Camp Half Blood" She said. The image showed Thalia running.
"THALIA!" I said. She kept running. Finally she turned back and saw us.
"Percy, go back to camp and stay there! Don't go back to the woods!" she said then waved her hands and the image got blurry then she was gone.
"What do you think happened?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter but now lets go back" She said walking.
"What about Thalia?" I asked.
"Percy I know her better then you and she will be fine" Annabeth said but I saw a tear roll down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away. We walked back to the others and then gathered everything and walked back.
