We had nearly gotten past all the guards before our cover was blown by Tyson. The objects hanging off his bag clanked together and his feet boomed against the ground as he ran. If that wasn't enough he was running straight at me yelling "Percy! Percy wait for me!"

Grover stood up from our hiding spot checking for campers patrolling the area and there seemed to be no one near us which means that they will be circling around soon.

"Really Tyson?!" Grover whispers harshly.

"Tyson you have to go back to camp. It's not safe" I tell him as nice as I can despite my irritation for him right now.

"Plus I'm not traveling with him" Annabeth says and I turn around and give her a look that says ' Shut up before I leave you here'

"If it's dangerous for me then it's dangerous for you. I can protect you plus brothers stick together" Tyson says.

"Fine come on" I say as I see the light of campers approach us.

"What?! PERCY!" Annabeth argues but I ignore her.

"Cmon" I say and run outside the border of camp and Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson all follow.

We finally get far enough away from camp and begin making our way out of the woods.

"Percy. Percy! You cannot let him come with us?" Annabeth says as she walks swiftly beside me.

"He's coming Annabeth. If you don't like it you can just stay here" I say keeping my eyes on the path in front of me.

"Stay here! I'm the whole reason we are going! If it wasn't for me-" she begins ranting.

"So you are coming?" I ask in an attempt to get her to stop talking.

"Ugh! Yes I'm coming. Just stop for a minute ok" Annabeth says and I reluctantly stop with her. Tyson and Grover catch up to us as Annabeth search through her bag.

"Here it is" Annabeth says and flashes a cologne bottle at us.

"Great now we can smell fresh while we save camp and get Danni back" I joke. Her face hardens at Danni's name and she rolled her eyes and walks over to Tyson.

"It's for you. It's called Mist spray it on your face every so often and it will allow you to be normal for a few hours" Annabeth says. She sprays Tyson and when the mist clears he does look like a normal, over sized, teenage boy with two eyes instead of one.

"Thank you Annabeth" he smiles widely at her as he hands her the bottle.

"Whatever" she says grabbing her bag.

"So are we just going to walk to the fleece? If so I call dibs on Tyson carrying me" Grover says as we stand in the woods outside of camp.

"I have a better idea" Annabeth says giving me a smile before sticking her fingers in her mouth and letting out a loud whistle.

We all stood and waited for something to happen but then the air became uncomfortably awkward.

"Well that was a swell try. Does anyone have any other-" Grover says but we hear a crash somewhere, then two small lights come straight for us.

"What the hell?!" I say as the shadow in front of me becomes clear.

Its a car! It screeches to a stop in front of us and the back door swings open, beckoning for us to get inside.

"Your kidding right?" I say looking at the mangled car in front of me.

"It's better then walking right?" Annabeth says and we follow Grover and Tyson to the back seat.

"I guess" I say.

"See! This is why you need me around Seaweed Brain" Annabeth says placing a hand on my leg when we get into the taxi. I push her hand off of me and she changes topics and begins talking to the three women that sit in the front row.

"Where to?" One of the hags says with a screechy voice.

"The Sea of Monsters" Annabeth informs them and after pushing a few buttons the taxi lurches forward and we are off.
