Okay, finally, here's a new chapter. Sorry for not updating sooner, but I've had a crazy week. This might be a little messy, but my mother's working, and I wanted to get this up ASAP. Please tell me if I'm forgetting any events! Now, enjoy.

I guess my wish didn't come true, because we had quite some excitement yesterday morning.

Well, after our meeting with the Hunters, we hadn't had many monster attacks. It was sort of nice, being able to sleep well at night.

Well, it was about 7:00 am, and we were walking through the forest. We weren't paying much attention, so we didn't notice the kid that was following us.

Suddenly, there was a loud snapping sound behind us. We turned around, but nothing was there.

Luke took out his heavily dented gold club and started to walk toward the bushes behind us. He disappeared behind a tree and for a moment, everything was silent.

A moment later, Luke came out pulling a horrible, terrifying… boy.

I'm serious. It was just a kid, and he didn't even look that powerful. He looked scared, with his eyes darting back and forth between us.

"Luke!" I yelled at him. "Would you stop it? It's just a kid."

"But he was following us!" Luke complained. "He must be a monster."

"If he was a monster, he would have killed us already. He couldn't possibly be one."

"Fine," Luke grumbled. Sometimes I'm the only mature one around here.

"What's your name?" I asked him.

"Grover," he said quickly. "I'm supposed to bring you to Camp Half-blood."

"What's that?" Thalia and Luke asked him in unison.

So, Grover went in depth about this really amazing camp that's supposed to train kids like us. We can learn to fight and survive there, and we get great lunches, according to the kid.

I was starting to suspect he wasn't exactly human. He bleated every once in a while. That was definitely not normal.

"So," I asked after he finished talking, "what are you?"

Thalia stared at me like I'd gone insane, but I just glared at her. I knew what I saw, and I stand by every word that comes from my mouth.

"I-I'm a satyr," he said. "You know, half-man, half-goat?"

We stared at him in shock for a few minutes, but he just looked back defiantly.

"Fine," Thalia finally said, "I vote we go to this 'camp'. All in favor?"

I raised my hand, and Luke slowly raised his. He didn't seem very sure about it, but everything sounded okay to me.

"Great!" Thalia said. "Let's get going."

So, for the last day, we've been walking. There haven't been too many monsters, but those who do come are much more viscous than the regular monsters.

I'm currently writing to you while I keep guard. Luke and Thalia have begun talking to each other once again, and everything seems to be going okay.

I'll write to you again soon.

Wow, nothing exciting has happened, again.

Monsters are still attacking, and they seem to be coming in larger groups than before. And, they're all monsters from the Underworld. I honestly don't know why Hades hates us so much.

But, at least we have food, water, clothes, and money.

Grover hasn't seemed to be very much help. I've already had to save his life three times before today. At least he's leading us in the right direction, I hope.

Anyway, I'm keeping guard right now. It always seems like the best time to write while I keep guard, because nobody bothers me, except for the occasional hellhound.

I promise to write again soon.

Hey, guess what? Something truly exciting happened.

Well, yesterday, we were walking through the streets on New York. When we passed by a newsstand, I could still see my picture on the front page of most magazines and newspapers. I realized how much different I looked now.

I was very tan now, and I have multiple scars on my face. My hair is lighter, from being in the sun all of the time, and I've even grown an inch. I hoped I could avoid getting caught from now on.

So, we decided to stop for lunch in some dark alley. Oh, we were so stupid to do that!

I heard a scream coming from behind me, and I turned to see a giant, ugly Cyclops.

I ran from the alley, but I realized nobody was following me. I was about to go back and help them when I heard a scream.

It was Thalia's scream.

They'd been caught!

I had to devise a plan. I had to get them out. I had to do it now.

I really wasn't sure what I was going to do as I stepped back into the alley. I just had to rescue my family.

The first thing I saw was Thalia, Luke, and Grover, all hanging over a giant pot. I wondered where the Cyclops could get something that big.

Then, I heard an awful laughing. It sounded like a cat being strangled by a pig. And don't ask me how I know.

I turned and saw the Cyclops,; a giant, ugly creature with black hair and one giant brown eye. It looked terrible.

I did the only thing I could think of doing before he caught me. I lunged forward and stabbed him in the foot. Then, I ran over to Thalia and quickly untied her.

She leapt into action, stabbing and slashing. Soon we were just staring at a pile of dust.

"Good job, Annabeth," she said.

"I only stabbed it in the foot," I told her.

"Um, guys?" Luke said. "Can you get me out of this rope? I think I'm starting to boil."

I ran over and untied him while Thalia got Grover out. He smiled at me once he was safely on the ground.

We ran away from that alley and away from New York in general. I was happy once we were safely camped out in the woods again.

Luke said he could feel other demigods nearby. We must have been near the camp! I had a smile on my face as I fell asleep.

I'm now awake taking my shift to guard. I'll tell you more soon.

That was it. I'll try to update again soon, but I do have school. And homework. And piano lessons. Wow, my life is so boring. Anyway, thank you for reading and please review!
