Chapter Ten

I'm Outta here

Seven a.m. waking up in the morning, gotta be fresh, gotta get out of here. Gotta have my bowl of cereal. Oops sorry, Pablo didn't bring it yet.

My brain was fried. Pablo could turn on me at any moment yet I didn't care. It's been days down here and all I could think about was the plan to get to Tantalus' cave. Apparently my so-called earth powers granted me perfect perception of placement on land, meaning I have my own personal GPS in my head. But I really don't want it telling me to turn right every five seconds.

"Are you ready, Missss Katara?" Pablo the brevis drakon asssssked.

With a quick nod of my head, the chains broke free and I jumped over the side of the cavern my cutesy little prison. I took a quick look around and waved goodbye to Pablo.

THUD! My whole body slammed against the rock that I forced out of the wall. Instead of a personal GPS, I said to myself as I rubbed my neck, I need a personal chiropractor.
My game face was on and I started climbing towards my death.

!o7o! SYDNEY

As I sat squished between Nico and Liam, my head was reeling. They weren't exactly pleasant thoughts considering both boys were happily sleeping as Argus drove us to the Door of Orpheus in Central Park.

I flipped my blonde hair over my shoulder as I turned to look at Liam. Poor boy, he obviously has feelings for Katara, and is too scared to even admit it to himself.
Before Katara arrived here, he never talked to anyone. He was the friendless loner. I think everyone at camp was surprised when he was chosen to find demigods out in the real world, but he has really proven himself. Ever since he came back I have always seen him smiling. That just goes to show that you don't judge a book by it's cover.

And Nico... Nico was rarely at camp ever, but now he has at three friends since Percy has gone missing. His personality really throws you for a loop. Sometimes dark, sometimes annoying, and other times, well... really charming. He thinks of Katara as someone who shares his pain of being unwanted, even though that's not true.

When I first came to camp, I clung to Annabeth like she was the only one there to protect me, and she was. I was a shy child and would not have made it out of my shy stage had it not been for her, speaking up about my abilities using spears and swords. My first real friend and camp was Katara.

Had it not been for her, all three of us would be different people.

There are 1,080 minutes in a day and you couldn't use one of them to review?
