Hi!! I just found out that I leave Wednesday. This is my last chapter until the end of my cruise, unless we get internet connection while we're at port. Hope you all like it. Oh… I can still check my email on my phone so there is no reason not to REVIEW PLEASE!! Oh Yeah, DemeterChild, I know what you meant by "demon-god?" I'm sooooo dumb. I know its demigod, but I was thinking about demons/monsters, so demon-god slipped. My bad, I won't be making that mistake again LOL!! Thanks for pointing it out!!

What I've Done

We had been traveling in the depths of Mt. Tam for over an hour, and we hadn't spotted anything or anyone. I was starting to get creped out. In every room we came to, I would always see something move out of the corner of my eye. I would go to investigate but nothing would be there.

I knew Grover was trying to keep it cool for our sake, but by the way he was twitching, I'm sure the place smelled like monsters.

After a total of two tortuous hours, we finally arrived somewhere. In that somewhere, was Nico, and Silena. When Nico saw us his eyes widened, giving us one message, run. However, Silena followed Nico's eyes and she saw us.

"Well, it's my two favorite cousins. How's it going?" She said in a false welcoming voice.

"Silena, why? Why did you join his side? Your mother gave you everything. Every guy liked you; you are beautiful, nice, funny, a boy's dream. Aphrodite always helped you. I've know you for years, and I thought you would stick by us. First Luke went to the wrong side, and now you? How much pain do you want to put me through?" Annabeth said with tears in her eyes.

It took me a while to understand what was wrong. Then I realized why Annabeth was so upset. When she came to Camp Half Blood, Silena had been there. They must have been good friends. Annabeth had also been friends with Luke and he betrayed her. She just couldn't handle another friend doing that to her. Neither could I.

"Silena," I said, "Everything Annabeth said is true. Why would you betray the gods? Why would you betray us? You know what Kronos did to Luke? He took over his body, and killed him. Do 

you want that to happen to you? Come back to camp. No one will judge you for what you've done; only what you will do. You can still come back. Please!" Once I was done I realized I had forgotten about Nico. "Nico, you could still come back too. Help us please." Satisfied that my speech was done I walked over to Silena, and looked her straight in the eyes. "Please." I said resting a hand on her shoulder.

She stared right back at me and said the three magic words anyone would want to hear. "Ok, I will."

Annabeth ran over to hug her, and Grover and I joined in. "Sorry Nico," I said while winking, "Our quest was to save Silena, not you. But you will come back to our side, I know it."

Another two hours later, and we were back in the fresh air. Silena showed us a shortcut, free of all guards.

"How are we going to get back?" Grover asked nobody in particular.

"Unfortunately, I think we need Apollo's help again." I said in a surly tone.

Everyone nodded and bowed their heads, mumbling stuff like, 'we need you, please help.'

"Last time you called at a convenient time. It's one P.M, now you're just being rude. Oh and don't think this is like a regular thing. I heard a daughter of Aphrodite, and this daughter of Athena, and I wanted to see them not you." Apollo said pointing to Grover and me.

After he asked the girls if they could leave us guys, we were all in the sun chariot, with our seats back, blankets, pillows, and snacks. I'm not quite sure what happened when Apollo flew us across the U.S. It wasn't close to sunset, or sunrise, so I'm sure the mortals were confused.

"The mist makes them think it's nighttime. If I hadn't manipulated it I would get in trouble." Apollo said as if he had been reading my thoughts.

"Oh. That's convenient." I said. That was the only thing we said to each other the entire, four hour, ride.

You want to know something funny? That entire four hour ride Annabeth slept. Can you guess where? Did you say, without moving from her seat? Well if you did you were wrong. For the third time, on one quest, she slept with her head on my shoulder. Her golden hair was in my face. I heard every breath she took, and once she shifted so that she punched me in the face.

I didn't mind.
