Guys, I know you're getting sick of all these writers leaving these kinds of notes, but I want to truly apologize for not writing. It's just with school and writer's block I was lacking inspiration… But get ready for a butt load of more writing!

Raychelle and I walked with our heads down as Chiron and our rescue party moved ahead of us discussing strategies or possibilities as to why the dracanae broke and how to deal with it. But to be honest I had no idea why! I feel like I had just woken up from a dream and then couldn't remember the dream afterwards.

"You ok?" Raychelle touched my arm, pulling me out of my trance.

I took a shaky breath "Yeah, I think so but-"

"We're back" Chiron's voice commanded attention "Everyone is to go to bed" He looked from me to Raychelle "Straight to bed, and have a camp meeting in the morning"

I walked back to my room and went to bed…

I awoke the next morning. Although you could hardly call it that due to the fact I had gotten about two hours of sleep. I saw all the campers go to the dining hall for the delicious breakfast that I sighed at the thought of missing. And the twenty camp consulars approached the big house.

I saw Raychelle walking with Pollux and walked toward her. Her hair was in a messy bun and she was wearing an extra-large sweater that hung off one of her shoulders and her usual jeans and converse. She was so beautiful! But I could tell she was having a bad day.

I hugged her and spoke "Hey, are YOU ok?"

She laughed at the circle of questions "Yeah just… worried"

"About what" I chuckled.

She pushed me away "You could have died Barley! Be serious!" I just hugged her tighter and felt her shoulders move as she sighed "Thanks"

I took her hand "Come on"

The meeting room just an almost comically terrifying pig pong table in the middle. I felt worse than being interviewed by the cops. Chiron sat (back in his wheelchair) at the head of the table, Lou Ellen and Percy Jackson at his side then the rest of the consulars sitting in the order there cabins were set up at camp.

"It was obviously Hypnos!" The consular of Hebe, Jeff Young suddenly yelled.

The Hypnos cabin consular suddenly awoke, only to point a finger at Lou "Hecate would have the power to perform the deed"

Lou Ellen simply gave him a death stare until he sat, then gracefully and silently rose from her chair. Speaking with a tone that made people willing to side with her "All of you stop pointing fingers! Raychelle, Barley, what happened?"

Raychelle and I took a simultaneous deep breath. Then I looked to her, motioning her to begin the story.

"I walked over to Barleys cabin and was throwing rocks at his window-"

"OOooo" Drew, head of the Aphrodite cabin, interjected.

Chiron cleared his throat to silence her "Although I disagree with Drew's outburst, I must ask what you were doing there?"

I looked up at Raychelle, who was looking at me, we both blushed and looked away quickly.

"That's adorable" Annabeth Chase nudged Percy "Remember us" They both laughed at their apparent inside joke.

"What are you implying Ms. Chase?" Chiron asked.

"Their dating!" Drew, once again, interrupted.

The room fell silent, even Grover ceased his constant munching.

I gulped, and then sat up "Yes"

Raychelle nearly jumped, and then half smiled at me and reached for my hand "Yes, we are"

"Anyway" Clarisse, head of the Ares cabin, suddenly spoke "What happened?!"

I could take it from here "The draecanae led me into the forest, where I can assume it was going to eat me, but this wonderful lady saved me"

"But there was more" Raychelle spoke up "She said something about how Barley put holes in her mistress's plan"

Chiron's eyes widened, "So she was working for someone"

"Could Kronos have had some Titaness sisters?" Annabeth asked.

"We must consult the oracle" Chiron spoke, and as he did Raychelle's face became pale.

"Okay" I spoke "Come on Ray" But she didn't move, "Ray?"

Chiron spoke solemnly "You must go alone"
