It's been about a week since I last updated. My calendar after today gets really crazy through, updates are going to be hard post quite as often. I will keep my promise for once a month through. What are you guys thinking about this story? Thoughts?

Thank you to: Persus Jackson Rules, allen r, MidnightEevee, Guest, Guest, Guest, and Goddess97.


Previously: Archers came on the deck and knocked arrows. A random hellhound leaped at Percy, Tyson intercepted it with a fire extinguisher.

"Get in!" Percy said.

Tyson and I tugged at the release pulleys.

"Hold on!" Percy screamed.

I just grabbed the side of the boat when Percy took out Riptide and cut the cables. Arrows whizzed past our heads as we plummeted towards the ocean.


"Thermos!" Percy yelled. Percy it's great that you are thirsty, but how is that supposed to help us? I think to myself. My hair was standing up straight and I was holding on to the boat for dear life.

Tyson understood Percy's thirst better than I did, and grabbed a thermos. He passed it on to Percy who started to open it.

"Hang on!" Percy yelled. Really? Thanks Percy I was about to let go. I thought ( notice the sarcasm people)

"I am holding on!" I yelled.

"Tighter!"

Tyson grabbed the backs of Percy and I shirts. Percy turned the thermos a quarter turn and we shot to the side.

The thermos I thought was just something to hold water. I had forgotten Hermes' gift to Percy, the magical thermos. That explains why a white sheet of wind is flying out of the thermos.

We hit the ocean and started to skip like a stone. Percy turned the magical thermos off a little bit. We slowed down to the speed of an average speed boat. Behind us I heard wails, I turned to see the monsters on the Princess Andromeda pointing and yelling at us. We are free I thought.


Percy and I agreed that we needed to talk to Chiron. We needed to tell him about Luke and what he was planning. Thanks to our magical thermos the ocean made a little rainbow by our boat. I fished out a golden drachma from my backpack. I threw the coin into the rainbow and prayed to Iris.

A minute later Chiron appeared. He looked to be at a dance, strobe lights flashed in the background with heavy rock blaring.

We told him everything. About sneaking away from camp, about Luke, his plans, the golden coffin with Kronos. Chiron took it all in with a serious look on his face. I am not sure what all he heard, with all the rock music on his side and the wind and waves on ours.

"Percy!" Chiron yelled. "You need to look out for-" for what? I thought.

His voice was drowned out by the loud shouting in the background.

"What?" Percy shouted to him.

"Curse my relatives!" Chiron ducked as a plate flew at him. "Annabeth you shouldn't have let Percy leave camp. But if you do get the Fleece-"

"Wooo-hooo!" someone shouted in the background. The music got turned up so loud that the boat started to shake.

"-Miami. I'll try to keep in touch-" Chiron said. Someone had thrown a bottle at our Iris message and disconnected it.


After a very long hour we finally spotted land. It was a stretch of beach with fancy hotels. The water had yachts, fishing boats, and tankers. It took me a second, but then I recognized it was Virginia beach.

"That is Virginia beach." I told Percy. "Oh my gods, how did the Princess Andromeda travel so far? That's about-"

"Five hundred and thirty nautical miles exactly." Percy interrupted. I gasped.

"H-how did you know that?"

"I- I'm not sure..." I wonder if his son of Poseidon powers were kicking in. Did he know where we are?

"Percy, what is our location?"

"36 degrees, 44 minutes north, 76 degrees, 2 minutes west." Percy said without blinking. He shook his head. "How did I know that?"

"Because of your dad, when you are at sea you know exactly where you are. That is so cool." I said smiling.

Tyson tapped his shoulder.

"Other boat is coming."

A few minutes later we pulled into Chesapeake Bay. We continued into the mouth of a river. Percy's demeanor dramatically changed as we entered the water. His shoulders shrugged and he hunched over the steering wheel, he yawned. His eyebrows scrunched together in an adorable way.

"Over there past that sandbar." I said and pointed.

Percy turned the lifeboat into a swampy marsh area. The air was hot and sticky. Insects swarmed around above my head, steam curled off the river.

I remembered this place. Luke, Thalia, and I had been here when we were little. We had built this little demigod safe house. I hoped Luke wouldn't remember it, I didn't want him to find us now.

"Come on, it's just down this bank." I said leading the way.

"What is?" Percy asked.

"Just follow." I said grabbing one of the duffel bags. "We'd better cover the boat too. We don't need any attention."

We took nearby branches and covered the boat, masking it in gunk.

After a little while of walking Tyson spoke up. "Not good place." He slapping his arm shooing away the mosquitoes.

"Here." I said, I moved aside some vines to reveal the hideaway.

It looked just the way we had left it. The walls were woven together with vines. Luke, Thalia, and I's sleeping bags, blankets, ice chests, and a kerosene lamp. For us demigods it had javelin tips, quivers full of arrows, extra swords, and a whole box of ambrosia.

"A half-blood safehouse. You made this?" Percy asked looking around in awe.

"Thalia and I." I said quietly, I swallowed. "And Luke."

Percy looked down angrily. He shuffled his feet and muttered to himself, he was jealous. What would Percy be jealous of? That I lead the group for fifteen minutes? I thought to myself.

"So..." Percy said moving on. "Luke won't come looking for us here?"

I shook my head with all the safehouses we made he wouldn't remember this one.

"We made a dozen hideaways. I doubt Luke cares or remembers where any of them are." I explained to Percy.

I laid down on the blankets and starting shuffling through my duffel bag. The duffel bag was somehow magically full of clothes my size. It even had clothes that I had left at Camp, like my Camp Half-Blood T-shirts.

"Um Tyson would mind scouting around outside? For a store or something, I am starving." Percy said to Tyson.

Once Tyson was gone Percy came and sat by me.

"Hey, I am sorry about seeing Luke." he said.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." I said taking out my knife cleaning it with a rag.

"He let us go too easy."

I nodded. "I was thinking the same. What he said about taking the bait, I wonder if he was talking about us."

"Grover? The Fleece?" Percy asked.

"I don't know Percy." I said looking at my knife. "Maybe he wants it for himself. I can't believe he would poison the tree."

"What did he mean that Thalia would be on his side?"

"He is wrong."

"You don't sound so sure."

I looked up at him. Really Percy? I glared.

"Percy you remind me of Thalia. You guys could pass as brother and sister, your personalities are the same. You would have either been best friends or strangled each other."

"Let's go with friends." Percy said smiling.

"Thalia got mad with her dad sometimes, just like you. Would you turn against Olympus because of that?"

Percy looked away. "No."

"Okay, then Thaila wouldn't have either. Luke was wrong, again." I said sticking my knife into the dirt.

"Donuts!" Tyson said bursting into the hut carrying a box of powdered donuts.

I could feel my eyes widen. "Where did you get those? We are in the middle of the wilderness!"

"Fifty feet! Monster Donut shop just over the hill."

Monster Donut shop? Did Luke find us already?
