Have you ever had a very long night, then all of a sudden get woken up by random pounding on your door? Well if you have, you know it sucks. I woke up on Nicos couch with him lying beside me. Outside, it sounded like ten people were trying to knock down our door.

I slowly got up, matted down my hair, and opened the door. On Nicos porch there was Percy and Annabeth, looking like they had just witnessed a murder. That pretty much ripped me out of my sweet dream land.

"NICO! GET UP!" I yelled to my boyfriend, stilllying on the couch.

"What?" he asked wined, clearly annoyed. I threw a nearby pillow at him and watched his body slide off the couch. He wobbled over to the door and saw the expressions on there face. He soon realized something was up and began to be a man.

"Guys, what's wrong?" I asked worried. Anything could've happened here at camp.

Annabeth took a deep breath and explained, word for word. "Well after we left last night, Hermes came and so did all of his kids. They congratulated, met Athan and such. All was going good, then they left. Sammy finally got her much needed sleep and Athan was put in his little crib and was sleeping too. Well this morning an Apollo kid came in to check on them and found Athan not in his crib. He looked everywhere, made sure no other kid had him, and they still didn't find him. They woke her up, told her the horrible news, and she began sobbing. She called me and I thought maybe us four could go on a quest to get Athan back."

Me and Nico both quickly agreed. The rest of the morning was a total blur. Ten minutes after I woke up, I was dressed in different clothes and standing outside Rachel's small cabin. Chiron had quickly agreed to the quest. I think Athan has his little finger wrapped around our camp director.

Anyways, her cabin was a great addition to the camp. It sat by the canoe lake and always had this mystical feeling about it. It was made of obsidian and kinda resembled Nicos cabin, except for the sign of Delphi hanging on the building. Purple torches burned night and day, the eternal flame of Delphi. The door was open during the day, always replaced by a purple curtain.

We all walked in and looked around. You could tell someone important lived here. The walls were painted a deep, green and looked pretty medieval. The furniture was black, but modern in a weird way. She had a brick fireplace where a TV sat nearby. Hanging over the fireplace was a picture of Rachel and Apollo, which kinda creeped me out. What am I saying, the whole place creeped me out.

Rachel came out of a nearby room and greeted us. " Hey guys! What brings you to my beautiful estate?" Nico snickered and I had to elbow him to make him stop. Boys, so insensitive.

"Were going on a quest." Percy explained. He gave her all the details and she seemed really worked up, even though she didn't know Sammy.

"Wow how horrible. I feel so bad. So you need your prophecy ok, I will see what I can do." An awkward silence fell over the place when nothing happened. A few minutes went by, and she walked to put something away. As soon as she did this, the spirit finally decided it was her turn and took over. She turned toward us with those green creepy eyes and spoke,

Four brave half bloods

Have answered the call

When all else fails, remember the falls

One collegue lost, another rescued from frost

The blade shall strike again

She came back from her phycho fit and asked what she had said. Nico told her and her face beame puzzled.

"Well okay good luck!" She exclaimed all to happy. We said goodbye, Percy the most since they're still good friends, and left quickly.

"Wow the blade shall strike again was really random, am I right?" I asked as we walked to the infirmary. We were going to say one last goodbye before we set out. They all laughed half heartedly and I knew they were trying to decipher the prophecy. I joined in there little thinking circle.

"Okay, so obviously were the four half bloods who answered the call," Nico thought aloud.

"Nah dip. So apparently we also get in trouble and need to remember the falls. So does that mean a physical fall, or like a waterfall or something?" I added.

"Well it just depends on where we end up going I guess. And one collegue lost doesn't sound to good…" Percy worriedly looked between us. If any of us were lost, I don't know what I would possibly do.

"PERCY! ANNABETH! THALIA! NICO!" Hermes yelled from the Big House when we were about a football field distance away. Wait, Hermes? We all ran up to meet him at the front steps to see what the matter was. We bowed, but he ushered us up to our feet almost as soon as we had gotten down.

"Dustin is gone from Olympus!" Oh shiz…..

"What are you talking about?" Percy questioned.

"Last night, after I left, Dustin got away from his special cell-like apartment. I told those nymphs to watch him, but no. They played poker. POKER! But anyways, apparently Hephaestus took Dustin under his wing and Dustin was really learning. He got off his specially made tracking device because of what he learned and everything. I have reasons to believe he's the one who took Athan."

"Well do you have any idea where he could be?" Nico asked worried.

"Well you all know how each god has a designated 'spot' in the U.S.?" We all nodded. Each god had random spots where there kids go when they needed to get away. Like my dad's, his is a door in a New York alley you would other wise miss. You walk in and it's amazing, full of food, drinks, and like a little rich person apartment . We all looked at Hermes for more information. "Well Aphrodite says he might have gone there but we don't know. It is very hard for any other demi-gods to find, but it's somewhere near Niagara Falls. I wish I could help more, but you know it's against ancient laws to help you. Good luck, please bring back my grandson."

We nodded and promised to try our best. He thanked us and popped away. The last stop was to the infirmary. I know Sammy would be happy to hear the news of us leaving.

"Sammy?" Annabeth knocked on her door.

"Come in," Sammy agreed in a pitiful voice.

We walked inside and saw Sammy sitting on the edge of her bed. Her eyes were puffy and red, probably from crying so much.

I went to sit by her and give her a hug. She huged me back, putting her head in my shoulder.

"I've been with him for nine months and now all I get is someone…..kidnapping him," she whimpered. She pulled away and I knew I had to do this for her.

"We're going to get him, Sammy," Percy stood up. She looked at us for a while to see if we were legitimate. When she saw the seriousness on our faces, she got up to hug all of us, tears threatening to come loose.

"Thank you all. I wish I could come, but I have to heal as the Apollo kids say. Plus my dad says it's dangerous. Stupid people worry to much," She explained. We all nodded understandingly and she just smiled.

Annabeth looked at me, and I read her expression easily. "should we tell her?"

I looked at her and could tell she had a good idea anyways. I nodded and she elbowed Nico.

"Ummm Sammy?" Nico began. Sammy looked up, wondering, "We think that Dustin might be behind this."

She nodded, and spoke, "Well I thought it was possible. Who else would do something like that except for that- never mind."

"Well I guess we should go," Percy broke the thinking silence. Sammy walked over and gave one last hug.

"Bring him back," she whispered, and we all promised we would do whatever it takes. She waved at us as we walked away.
