Percy's P.O.V

I stared at Piper like she was crazy. actually, we all stared at Piper like she was crazy. It was kind of obvious why, she had just said, that the little girl Nico had found was a daughter of Hestia. Crazy, I know.

"Piper.." started Jason, patting her shoulder. She swiped his hand off.

"I'm not crazy, she emphasized. He nodded like he was some physciatrist. She shot him a glare.

"No seriously. Ask Thalia and Grover." she challenged. So we decided we would.

"Thalia! Grover!" we cried. In a moment both of them came sauntering out of the room.

"What?" whispered Grover.

"Why are you whispering?" asked Leo.

"She's sleeping." he explained.

"Oh." he nodded.

"So.." wondered Thalia.

"Well, Piper said that you said that that girl is the daughter of Hestia.." said Jason, confusing us.

"What?" asked Thalia.

"Exactly." said Leo pointedly.

"No, she is. I was just confused. Your not much of an explainer." she commented smirking. Jason gave a look like that was offensive. Drama Queen. I laughed, that's when everyone shot me the crazy looks.

"Never mind." I said.

"How can she be the daughter of Hestia? Hestia's a virgin."challenged Annabeth, clearly not believing a word that was being said.

"Well, that is a mystery." declared Thalia.

"Maybe I can help..." said Rachel. I stared at her.

"Your the oracle." I stated. She rolled her eyes at me.

"Duh, Percy." she noted.

"Anyway, I think I can talk to her." she continued.

"What makes you think your so special?" retorted Nico. She pertended to puke.

"Shutup." she said, eventhough she was blushing. It doesn't take a rocket scienist to figure out she had a crush on Nico.

"Can you give me a chance?" she said, ignoring Nico's head shake.

"Sure." said Piper and the rest except for Nico. She nodded and Rachel got up and walked into the girl's room. We all sat there until Leo said,

" So...where's Chiron?" he asked. I stared at them.

"Chiron was here?" I questioned. Annabeth nodded.

"He left beacuse of an emergency at camp." she said.

"Guys!" called Rachel from the room.

"What, Dare?" said Nico.

"Get Percy in here and Annabeth, too!" she yelped. I got up and pulled Annabeth with me.

"C'mon. "I said hurrying into the room. When I entered I saw the little girl sitting on the bed, the freaky dog thing cornering Rachel into the corner. She saw us come in and shot us a HELP-ME look. I eased over to the dog and managed to get it's attention. Annabeth ran to the little girl.

"Hey, what your name?" asked Ananbeth.

"Go away!" responded the girl.

"Don't hurt her." said Annabeth to the girl. The dog looked at me. I know this sounds weird, but I think I read his mind. Well, maybe. It went something like this.

Dog:Leave the girl.

Me:Uh. Is this what I think it is?

Dog:Yes. I can read your mind.

Me:Wow. Um, who are you?

Dog:Leave. I am the girl's protector.

Me:Okay, calm yourself. Let's talk.

Dog:*growl* Go!

I grabbed my pen and had Riptide doggy thingy growled. It leapt. I dodged and pointed Riptide at his neck. The dog couldn't move. I don't know why, so don't ask. Everything after that went by fast.

In a few moments, the girl was sitting next to us and the dog was leaning comfortingly against her.

"Well, let's begin with the story, girl."said Annabeth. She narrowed at Ananbeth, I guess they's been aquainted. Other that that, she started,

"I'm Kayla, this is Prostatis." she pointed to the dog thing. I nodded and Annabeth ushered her to continue.

" I am the daughter of Hestia. I was young when Hestia found me took care of me. I'm not her real daughter, I guess she adopted she left, she wanted to make sure I was okay, so she gave me Prostatis. Now when she comes to visit me, she tries to help me harness my powers." said Kayla.

"Powers?" asked Rachel.

"Yeah, Hestia knew I wouuld be important so she gave me some powers. I guess I kinda inheirited them. Or maybe she gave them to me like a gift." she explained.

"Oh." said Rachel in response.

"So, why were you at that 'freak place'?" I asked.

"Well, I was just wandering when they found us and they hurst Prostatis and they captured us, it had been about 3 days." she said, patiently.

"Oh, I get it." I said.

"Does that answer everything?" she wondered. Annabeth looked at us.

"I'm satisfed. You guys?" she asked.

"Sure." said Rachel. When they asked me I paused.

"Do you know where Apollo's lyre is?" I asked. Annabeth looked at me skeptically,

"How's she supposed to know, seaweed brain?" I shrugged,

"I just had a feeling." I said plainly. Annabeth rolled her eyes. I got up to leave when I heard Kayla speak to me quietly. Or maybe I had read her mind but I swear she said to me.

" I know where Apollo's Lyre is."
