"How did you get Bianca?" Nico asked. "No offence, but she's dead."

"I'll explain." Luke said, rolling his eyes. "Take her, Ethan." Ethan threw Nico to the ground and he got up and joined us.

"Are you a pirate?" Twig asked Ethan. He rolled his eyes and put her in the cell with Bianca.

"Bianca was in the underworld with Hades," Luke started. "She was speaking with her dad when Persephone walked in. She saw Bianca and thought she was a nice kid. Bianca and Persephone started talking and they took a liking to eaachother like they were best friends. After Bianca explained her story, Persephone thought she deserved another chance. So she went and talked to Hades and Hades brought Bianca back to life. I caught her on her way to camp."

"I couldv'e escaped if your breath wouldn't have stunk so much." Bianca scoffed.

"." teased Luke. "And it's Ethan's fault."

"It is not!" Ethan defended. "I told you not to eat garlic bread!"

"Whatever."

"Well?" I said. "I'm not just going to stand here." I charged at Luke and everybody followed. I stood in front of Luke. "I'm gonna enjoy this." I swung at Luke's head and he ducked, missing a head chop. "Scared?"

"Of you," Luke taunted. "Please." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Grover swat at Ethan's eye.

"Watch it!" Ethan ordered. "That's my good eye!"

I was more focused on killing Luke though. I swung at Luke's legs, arms, and every other part of him. But nothing worked. No matter how hard I tried, Luke was one step ahead of me. He tried to swing at me but I side stepped and he fell down. He grabbed his sword and jumped back up. He stood a stance and so did I. I finally made a move and knocked his sword out of his hand. He picked it up, stood up, and trapped Annabeth. He held his sword to her neck. "Don't move a muscle." Annabeth tried to break free but he couldn't.

"Let her go," I said. "And we'll leave." I looked at Twig and Bianca and mouthed "We'll be back." They both nodded.

"Fine." Luke said. He threw Annabeth on the floor. I helped her up and we Ethan herded us out. He slammed the door behind us.

"Percy, wait." Annabeth said. "We can't leave Twig or Bianca."

"I know." I said, thinking up a plan. "We have to come back with more people."

"Okay." Annabeth and everyone else agreed. "Let's get back to camp." Annabeth wiped away a tear and I hugged her. We drove back to camp to tell everyone.

"Their back!" someone announced when we walked through the gate. Everybody ran of to us.

"What happened?" Travis asked.

"Well-uh," I tried. "Here's what happened. . ."
