Author's Note: Time for another chapter! Woot woot. I'm very excited. I might get distracted though… because A Very Potter Senior Year comes out today… but I'm not sure when. I'm dying for this. Also, I don't know how long travel takes, so if the amount of land they covered in certain amounts of time is off, sorry.

Finally around 9 a.m. the others woke up with and stretched.

"Where are we?" Mary asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Philadelphia." Evelyn replied.

"Already?!" Louise cried, "did you even sleep?!"

"Nope." Evelyn and Sicomba said in unison.

"Wait. We have to stop!" Elizabeth screamed.

"Why?" Mary asked her.

"We're in PHILADELPHIA! If we don't get some philly cheesesteaks, I'm gonna cry. I need them okay? THEY ARE DELICIOUS!"

"Holy crap Liz." Evelyn muttered.

"We probably could use come food, you know, more than just granola bars." Sicomba remarked.

"Besides, Ev, didn't you say you always wanted to see some monuments? We could stop and see the Liberty Bell or something. Not for long, just for half an hour." Elizabeth said persuasively.

Evelyn wavered. Then of course, her stomach started screaming at her and she gave in.

"Fine. But only an hour, kay?"

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

The five Demigods pulled into an alley, then walked the streets of Philadelphia, admiring the old-style buildings and looking for a good restaurant. They finally found a cute looking corner place, and piled into a booth. They ordered five philly cheesesteaks at Elizabeth's urging from a skeptic looking waitress and waited.

"How are we gonna pay?" Mary asked.

"I got it covered." Evelyn said, pulling out a wad of bills about as big as her fist.

"Whoa Ev!" Sicomba said, "Did you steal that?!"

"No! Some is from summers jobs, some from holiday presents, and most of it is actually a gift from my dad. Quest Emergency Fund."

"Your dad is awesome!" Louise said.

"Shut up! Cheesesteaks!" Elizabeth yelled.

"Oh my gods Elizabeth, you are obsessed." Mary laughed.

But then the waitress set down their food, and Elizabeth's mouth was blocked by a giant bite of cheesesteak.

"EAT!" she yelled when she saw them just sitting there. They all took a bite, and honestly. Those things were AMAZING!

So, about ten minutes and fifty dollars later, the five friends found themselves walking toward the Liberty Bell. They laughed and talked, but inside, they were all still very worried about Dalia. They reached the entrance and the lady at the desk asked if they wanted a tour. Evelyn shook her head and they walked in. They started climbing up the steps, and they climbed and climbed until they found themselves standing on a balcony with a giant bell.

"Wow." Evelyn said staring at the graceful crack in the surface of the metal. "How much you wanna bet some Demigods did that."

"Totally." Louise laughed. They stood there for a minute brainstorming ideas for how Demigods could've cracked the bell when they heard screaming from behind. They all turned quickly and saw people running in chaos.

"Escaped lion!" someone yelled.

"Lion?!" Mary said.

"Probably worse…" Sicomba muttered. And it was. Suddenly a giant creature lept up the stairs, scattering bricks everywhere. Evelyn gasped. It had three heads, but it looked A LOT meaner than Fluffy from Harry Potter. It had the fore parts of a lion, but the middle parts of a goat.

I have to kill a goat? I don't know if I could do that morally…

Evelyn cursed herself for thinking of A Very Potter Musical quotes at such a dangerous time. Then she noticed the beast also had a long serpents tail.

In the name of Hades!

"What is that?!" Mary said in fear.

"Chimera!" Evelyn shouted, grabbing her sword, "Percy fought one once! He didn't mention three heads though!"

"Well if he beat it, it'll be easy for the five of us right?!" Sicomba said, hefting his hammer.

"Well…" Evelyn answered, "he didn't exactly beat it…"

"Then what did he do?!"

"He jumped off the St. Louis Arch."

"Oh FABULOUS! Jumping off monuments is a thing now?"

"Shut up!" Louise yelled.

Suddenly the monster growled and rushed toward them.

"SPLIT!" Evelyn yelled, and they scattered as the Chimera banged its head into the Liberty Bell with a loud Bong.

Mary grabbed her earrings, and she and Elizabeth quickly notched arrowd. Louise hefted her sword, and Sicomba got his hammer ready.

The minute the beast turned around, Elizabeth and Mary started firing. Evelyn concentrated and found there was a system of drinking fountains in the building. That would have to do.

"Sicomba!" she yelled, "ON THREE!"

He nodded, understanding.

"One!" She yelled as the creature advanced, "Two," she said, as it was almost upon them, "THREE!"

The drinking fountains erupted and a strong blast of water hit the beast at the same time as a giant bolt of lightning hit him square in the head. There was a bright light, and when they looked back, all the Chimera's hair was standing straight up. Unfortunately, not dead.

"IT'S NOT DEAD?!" Evelyn screamed in dismay.

"THEN CHARGE!" Louise cried, running in. The others followed with weapons at the ready. Evelyn was busy trying to hit the creatures eyes, when she heard a piercing scream. She looked over in time to see the Chimera's tail hit Louise, and fling her over the balcony.

"LOUISE!" Sicomba cried, forgetting the monster and running over to the balcony. Evelyn heard a quick scream from below, like someone hurting themselves, then biting down the pain.

Anger flared up in Evelyn, and she could see it in Sicomba's eyes as well. Her vision flickered.

No. It's too dangerous.

But Evelyn couldn't help it now. Her friend was hurt. She was NOT going to stand for this.

"Get back!" she screamed as her vision flickered again, causing another drinking fountain to explode. Mary and Elizabeth rushed down the stairs with wide eyes. Evelyn heard thunder and saw Sicomba's eyes flickering with power. She finally stopped resisting. The world exploded into blue water and power. Lightning flickered over her eyelids, and she felt like she was floating. She released all her anger onto the Chimera. Her rage screamed and so did the room. Suddenly, she blacked out.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Evelyn… Evelyn!"

Evelyn opened her eyes and a wave of pain and nausea passed over her. She closed her eyes again and groaned.

"Is Louise okay?" she muttered.

"Yeah." Elizabeth said with a smile, "and so is Sicomba. I think you should be worried about yourself though."

"What happened?"

"We unleashed the power of the Kraken." Evelyn heard Sicomba's laughing tone say.

Evelyn would've laughed if it didn't hurt so much. She slowly sat up. Elizabeth handed her something and she drank it, tasting the familiar taste of Nectar.

"You completely drained yourself." Elizabeth said.

"Oops." Evelyn said.

"Good news is, the Chimera's long gone."

"Well, I don't think it would be without Sicomba's awesome godly skills." Evelyn joked. "Where are Mary and Louise?"

"In the car. Mary is watching Louise. None of us knew how to do anything, so we were trying to get you to wake up. We need you to help her."

Evelyn became worried.

"Let's go."

OoOoOoOoOoO

After a long and tiring walk to the car, Evelyn and Sicomba climbed into the backseat where Louise was.

"Holy Thor," Sicomba said, "are legs supposed to bend that way?"

"No, stupid." Louise muttered, biting on a towel. Her face was beaded with sweat, and she definitely looked in pain.

"Okay, Louise. I think you broke your Tibia. I'm going to set it now. It's going to be extremely painful." Evelyn said.

"Thanks for the encouragement."

"I wasn't going to lie to you." Evelyn said, and she carefully grabbed Louise's leg, and with a swift motion, jerked it back into place. Louise let out a cry of pain, and a few tears escaped from her eyes, but she held in most of her pain. Sicomba handed Evelyn some wood and duct tape, and together they made a splint for Louise.

"We better get out of here." Evelyn said. "Before something else comes. I'll drive, I think you pumped enough power in to keep it going." She said to Sicomba.

He nodded.

"I'll stay back here with her."

"Okay, give her some of this, but not too much at once." Evelyn said tossing him a bag of ambrosia.

"So who wants to sit in the back with them? You'll be pretty squished…"

"I will." Mary volunteered quickly. She looked pretty excited to be squished.

"Right-O. Let's go. We've got a long way to go."

And so the five Demigods drove off, toward whatever danger awaited them next.

Author's Note: So there you go! Louise broke her leg, and we had philly cheesesteaks! Yay! So, yeah. Off to Kansas.
