Zoe pov

i didn't want to say goodbye, but it was the right thing, i hope Michael could just understand.

"Chiron, i need a quest" i said, but i didn't really want to go, i'd rather stay here. he just nodded. As if on cue, michael had gotten up and was about to leave.

"Chiron, i'm going back to my cabin" He said in a rush. trying to avoid me.

"Wait, please go get the other camp leaders. tell them to meet me at the big house" chiron said peeling himself away from his novel. Michael quckly said ok and left.

"sit,sit" he said. i sat down to his right, and wathced as the leaders came in and sat down. What was he doing? Then i saw annabeth, great. If only she knew why i worry about Percy so much, then she wouldn't be mad with me. i whispered to chiron

"what-why are you doing this?" i asked. He clamed me down. Luckily piper and a still depressed Leo showed up, along with Katie the stoll brothers, Will, Clarrisse, and butch, along with the hecate girl, and a few that i did not recognized. the ones that looked really upset were annabeth and Clarrisse. Percy was there too, but looked guilty along with Will.

" So who wants to go on a quest, Zoe will be going but we need four others." he said. i looked at Chiron.

"you don't have to do this, i can go on my own, it's easier" i whispered.

" no, young demigod, you need help along the way."

"but-" i said but Piper stood up.

"I'll go with you" she said then smiled. She doesn't know what shes getting herself into. Then thats when leo looked excited. Annabeth looked like she wanted to get out of here, but Percy stayed, and she had to stay with him. Clarrisse got up and left, simply like that. Leo stood up.

"I'll go" he said excitedly, but Piper smile faded as she turned to him.

"Leo for the last time, just because Jason isn't here.." she said while leo frowned"... doesn't mean you can go out with me". This must have happened alot, because Katie had left followed by the stoll brothers and Will.

"Piper, i get it, we've been through this before, i Made the promise ok" he practically yelled at her. she rolled her eyes and stared at me. Then someone wanted to go, who suprised me too.

"i'll go" said percy, quietly.

"What!"Annabeth screamed, which made me flinch. why?

"well she needs help, and she can't do it without someone." he said

"fine, but i'm coming with you" she said but shot me a look. The rest of the demigods left and that left us with five demigods and Chiron.

"So it's settled, you accept the quest, Zoe you will lead it, and you may go when you are ready." he said.

The quest was going great, untill it was my turn to keep watch. Everyone was sound asleep, when i heard noise. I didn't want to wake them up, so i tried to stay calm. That all changed when i saw a pair of red eyes behind a bush. then it came closer till i saw the full dark figure, it was about the same size as the first hellhound i said but more tough looking. it growled from his throught and then it snapped. that made Leo looked dazed. he moaned and the hellhound lunged at them. I couldn't let them harm them, so i tried my best to scare him away. that was my wrong move, i had heard Percy get up and so did annabeth, then all of them as they had to watch me get mauled by a hellhound. i tried charming but it wasn't as friendly,that's when i realized that what i said at camp to Michael was true. Me and my brothers scent was strong enough for monsters to smell, which means we were close. When Percy yelled my name as if he was in trouble, that was where the hellhound had a hold of my neck and pretty much used me as a chew toy. Finally piper came to her senses and stabbed the creature in the shoulder, sadly the hellhound had sense this and tossed her aside, but luckily, Leo was there to help her. then Annabeth had came forth and stabbed the creature in its neck and finally disentegrated into powder all over me. But annabeth wasn't to happy after that, she pretty much just yelled in my face

"Youre so stupid, you can't even protect yourself from a hellhound." She yelled. that made me flinch, plus it really hurt to get up. blood dripped from my neck to the freshly fallen snow. she noticed it and said to me softly

"We better go, the blood will attract more monsters. Piper got up with the help from Leo and they retreated from each other and helped me.

"Don''t worry about annabeth" Leo had said. But as he said that i focused on something else, it was the scent of my brother, i could sense, i stepped forward and it got a bit stronger. it was getting closer,stronger. I ran ahead while everyone was behind me

"Zoe" they yelled, but i didn't care, i was getting closer, but i nearly fell in a five hundred foot drop into the river if i didn't have sense it. Leo almost did and i had to pull on his shirt from helping him from going to a watery death.

"whoa, whoa" he said as i struggled to pull him back. he thanked me while out of breath and realized what my brother had said. It was at least fifty feet across, and the only way acoss was a unstable rope bridge. and down below was a small river with dangerously sharp pointy rocks. I can't cross, it's too risky.

"How do we cross?" Piper said. Annabeth pointed to the bridge. Percy and Leo decided to go first, then Piper. Then I decided to , then Annabeth last. Luckily it was stable the most of the way untill we hit three-fourths of the way, then it got wobbily but luckily, Percy, Piper and Leo got safely, and i mean me and annabeth had a hard time. first when i stepped on one wood plank, it broke and fell and approximentally five hundred feet down and hit the water with a sploosh and i had to jump on the next one while annabeth's wood plank gave out and she held on to one of the sides of ropes.

"aaahhhh" she kept yelling. i turned my head and tried to turn around as best as i could. Percy got back on the rope bridge, but that's when my wood plank that held my back side gave out, i used it to push off and tried desperatley to get on the other side of the cliff. put my back paw on the ledge which slipped and i started to fall, but annabeth yelled at Percy

"Grab her" she yelled struggling to hold on, luckily percy acted quick and grabbed the scruff of my neck and helped me on the edge. leo pulled me and made sure i did not fall, while Percy held on the ropes railing to get annabeth. piper started to go help Percy when Leo's free hand grabbed her ankle.

"No" he said looking desperatley at her face.

"Percy, go back, the bridge isn't strong enough" and i realized what she had meant. I struggled against Leo, but he practilly squeezed me to death.

"Let go" i whispered. finely he released, i knew how i could save her. As much as I hate Annabeth, I didn't want her to die.

"Percy, my harness, the leash. " I yelled at him. he gave me a quizical look and realized what i meant. I packed a harness and leash in percy's pack. He tossed it to Leo and Leo helped put it on.

"Percy, give the leash to annabeth" i said. Annabeth realized what i was doing and so did Piper and Leo.

"No, don't, Zoe.." She said but i ignored her. Percy did what i said and gave it to Annabeth. She reluctantly took it, while i yelled to Percy to get back.

"Annabeth, when i say go release the rope bridge" i said

"but-" she tried to explain.

"Just do it." i said, suprised what i was doing, i had to try.

" 1, 2, 3.. go" i said. as she released the rope, it felt like pulling a mountain. I could barely breathe, yet i braced myself. "don't let her fall" i said to myself. " Don't give up, i got this" I kept saying to myself, and finally was able to take a step. Then another. and When she was almost ther. I said with barely any breath left in me.

"Grab her." I said. The boys immediately helped her up, and i passed out.
