Callie's POV

My heart was pounding as we picked up Mikayla, trying to figure out how to save her. Skylar was mumbling different things under her breath, mainly curses and swears in Greek. Mikayla was shaking but didn't wake up.

"We need to get her back to camp" Jason stated. I nodded and looked to Skylar for guidance.

"Well yeah, but how?" I asked.

"We could use your teleporting powers" Skylar replied while looking up at Jason.

"I can't teleport three people at once. And I can't make three trips in a row, it takes too much out of me" he replied sounding defeated. Skylar began pacing, trying hard to think of a solution. She grabbed Jason's sword and smacked it against a new by fire hydrant. Water spewed in an upward direction and began to soak us.

"Callie, you need to talk to your dad and as him to take us back to camp" Skylar said as she tossed me a Golden Drachma. I caught it surprised and looked at her surprised.

"But Sky…I've never spoken with him. Hell I got claimed about three months ago. What makes you think he'll actually help us" I questioned as I stepped towards the water.

"He will because he loves his sister and that's his sister's only daughter! Now hurry! We are losing her with every passing minute" she commanded, concern in her voice. I sighed and tossed the Drachma into the mist.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Lord Apollo" I said as I crossed my fingers, praying this would work. The mist changed and a new picture appeared. A guy that was extremely tan and looked to be about 17 years old appeared. He removed the sunglasses he was wearing and looked at the message.

"Callie Johnson? What can I do for you my daughter?" he asked curiously. My knees started to grow weak; even though he was my dad he was pretty hot.

"We need your help! We need a ride to Camp Half-Blood and we are in Georgia" I said. He raised his eyebrow at my, as if I was crazy for asking.

"Are you on a quest?" he asked curiously.

"Yes but…" I attempted to say in reply.

"Then I can't help you. It's against Ancient Law for gods to help" he cut in. I looked over at Jason and he walked over, coming into Apollo's view. Apollo's eyes widen, as if he knew who she was.

"She's dying and needs to be healed fast" I stated, his gazed returning to me. He sighed heavily.

"Alright. You're lucky I'm currently near where you are…just stay there and I'll be there in about three minutes" he replied before waving away the mist. I sighed in relief and began waiting. Exactly like he said, the sun chariot pulled up, half-way blazing off all our clothes. The chariot switched from a Maserati to a 2011 Mazda 3. Apollo hopped out of the chariot and helped Jason put Mikayla in the backseat.

"We cannot thank you enough Lord Apollo" Skylar stated as she got in shot gun. Jason and I crawled into the backseat, next to Mikayla, keeping a close eye on her. Mikayla's eyes were still closed and her breaths were very light and shallow.

"It's alright, my sister wouldn't be happy if I didn't help her only daughter" he replied before getting in the driver seat. He changed gears and began driving at unnatural speeds, beginning to take off. Soon we were soaring above the clouds. The ride was almost silent, except for Mikayla's faint breathing. After maybe 15 or 20 minutes, Apollo parked the sun chariot in the center of camp. Chiron cantered over as we emerged from the chariot.

"Lord Apollo?" Chiron asked in complete surprise.

"Chiron we don't have time for small talk! We have a half-blood dying and we must act now!" Apollo stated as he took Mikayla from the back and rushed her to the infirmary. We all ran after him, hoping he could save her.

Travis's POV

I sat up from my bunk, still a tad weak from the centaur's blood wounds healing. There was a loud commotion outside, drawing my attention. I slipped a pair of flip-flops that I stole from Malcolm and walked outside. A large mob surrounded by a nice car and a random guy stepped out and rushed to the backseat. He pulled out a limp body and rushed to the infirmary; familiar auburn hair hell from the girl's head, filling me with fear.

"No…not Mikayla…" I muttered as I ran after the guy. He set her down on the first cot in the infirmary and began working silently. Jason, Callie, and Skylar were right behind him and watched intently. Mikayla just lay on the cot, taking in small and choppy breaths. "What happened?" I questioned as I moved to her side and grabbed her hand. It felt cold even though she had traveled on the sun chariot.

"She was bitten by a chimera…she's dying…"Apollo replied as he sighed heavily.

"Can you save her? Give her nectar and ambrosia or something?" I questioned as I gripped her hand tighter. Apollo rested his hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

"I'm sorry…it's too late. All I can do is wake her up so you can say your last goodbyes" Apollo replied. I nodded and sat down on the cot, praying this was just a dream. Skylar turned away, hiding her tears from everyone. Jason stood there like a stone, his eyes filled with sorrow. Callie hurried out of the room, tears starting to fall from her cheeks.

"Can I speak with her alone please?" I asked, not looking up because of the tear that was sliding down my cheek. The others poured out of the room, leaving Mikayla and I alone with Apollo.

"I am unsure how long she'll be awake so make it quick" Apollo stated. I nodded and listened to Apollo murmuring in Ancient Greek. Slowly Mikayla's eyes fluttered open, causing a small smile grow on my face. I looked up and nodded a thank you to the god. Apollo sighed and walked outside.

"Trav? How did you get to Atlanta?" she asked in a whisper as a small smile grew on her face.

"You're home baby. You guys made it home" I replied trying so hard not to break down.

"Travis…I'm so cold…could you hold me?" she asked so innocently.

"Anything for you Moony" I replied as I slipped my arms around her. Her skin felt as cold as ice. She gazed up at me with her big silver eyes.

"Travis…am I dying?" she asked, breaking my heart. Another tear slipped down my cheek.

"No baby…you're just falling asleep" I lied, hoping she would buy it.

"Will you be there when I wake up?

"Of course" I lied again.

"Great…sweet dreams Klepto" she whispered before closing her eyes again. Her chest rose and fell once again but stopped; Mikayla, the love of my life, was dead. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I held her closer, as if she would wake up again. Chiron wheeled into the infirmary and had tears in his eyes.

"Travis…we need to make preparations for her burial…"
