Annabeth's P.O.V

I must have misheard Kayla. I turned to Percy.

"Did she just say, what I thought she said?" I questioned.

"If it's about Apollo's lyre, then yes." he said not taking his eyes of Kayla.

"Yeah, I know where it is." said Kayla. I just stared. Luckily, Percy snapped out before me. He walked over and sat down beside her.

"How do you know about Apollo's lyre?" he asked her. She gave a look of permission from Prostatis, the dog nodded. She sighed.

"Well, it's kind of a long story.." she started. I walked over and sat next to Percy.

"Rachel, call the others." I said. Rachel scampered out of the room. After a moment of murmering everyone else came in the room.

"She's know's where it is?" asked Jason doubtfully. I nodded.

"Everyone sit down, she needs to explain." I claimed, hurriedly. In a few moments we were all surrounding Kayla like we did at campfires at Camp HalfBlood.

"Well, about a few weeks ago, before I was captured, Hestia came and visited me." she paused.

"Continue." said Percy, gently.

"She told me to leave from here beacuse something bad was going to happen. I had said I'd saty safe and keep with Prostatis. She agreed." Kayla took a breath.

"When the lady captured me, I asked her who she was. She said she's kill me, but I didn't know why." Before Kayla could continue, Leo broke in.

"So you know where it is or not?" he asked, imaptiently. Thalia shoved him off the side of the bed with a push.

"Ow." he muttered from on the ground.

"Anyway, I tried to escape, but I only got to her lair. It had 2 glass with a picture of you," she said pointing to Percy,

"And and one that read Apollo's lyre. It contained a beatiful lyre in it." I heard Rachel gasp. I shot her a look.

"And, so I hurried back into my room so she wouldn't know that I had seen all that. When I got back, that day at around 2 a.m Hestia sent me an iris message. She told me I had to escape, and take the lyre with me. That time I had managed to get away and give the lyre to one of my mom's contacts." she gave a light cough.

"Unfortunately, the lady caught me again and she almost killed Prostatis, except I said I'd tell her where the lyre was. Luckily, because of an emergency, she had to leave and gave me a day to think it all through. And that's when that boy", she cried pointing to Nico,

"Came and brought me here. That's all." she concluded. We stared in silence. Leo broke it again, now sitting on the floor, a good distance away from Thalia.

"So lemme get this staight, you know where it is, little girl?" Even though Thalia was pretty far away, she grabbed a pillow and nailed his face with it. We cracked up because, Leo had tried to burn the pillow. It backfired. Excuse the pun. Instead of turning into dust, like the cartoons, it exploded and he got hit by a bunch or burnt feathers. After we had a good laugh over it, except Leo, we turned back to Kayla.

"I have a question, because the dog can talk telepathically, can you?" asked Percy. I raised my eyebrows. After a pause Percy smiled. "Cool." he commented, respectfully. It was like he had discovered something about her that he respected. I ignored that.

"Want to get something to eat?" asked Jason. We nodded in agreement and got up and went to the kitchen, Kayla didn't move.

"C'mon, Kayla. You should eat and we'll feed Prostatis, too." When I included Prostatis, she cheered up and followed us too, along with Prostatis.

"Any faves?" called Piper from the kitchen. Kayla shook her head.

"Okay, you guys. Any requests?" she asked the rest of us.

"Hamburgers!" cried Jason. Grover fell to the floor, dramatically.

"Oh, sorry man. I forgot about you." he shrugged.

"How about spaghetti, lemonade, and some fruit cake?" she suggested after looking around in the cupboards and refridgerator. With nobody to object, Piper began cooking.

"What about Prostatis?" asked Kayal, nervously. Rachel smiled.

"How about meatballs with sauce. And some... vanilla pudding and water?" she suggested. Kayla's eyes lit up. "Great!" she said, smiling at Rachel.

About 15 minutes later, we were all settled at the dining table.

"Mmmmhh. Smells good." commented Grover. In a few minuted Piper came with some plates. Everyone took one. Then she came with a big bowl of spaghetti.

"Wow. That was fast." said Thalia.

"It was instant spaghetti." explained Piper.

"Oh." responded Thalia. We all took some spaghetti then Piper came back with two jugs of lemonade and glasses. After pouring us some lemonade, she sat down to eat.

Rachel, who was also cooking, for Prostatis came with a fairly big bowl of Meatballs covered in meatsauce. Prostatis licked his lips.

*burp* I shot Leo a glare.

"Excuse me." he smirked.

"That was good spaghetti. What about dessert?" asked Jason, expectantly.

"Hold on." called Piper getting up to get a batter of Fruit cake.

"I want the strawberry part!" cried Kayla. I smiled. Atleast she was comfortable enough to be normal. I slowly downed my peice of fruit cake.

*burp* I loooked at Leo.

"It wasn't me." he said.

"Sorry." said Grover chewing his plate. Thank god it was, not plastic.

*BURP!* A loud burp came from below the table. Prostatis gave us a smile. He had eaten his meatballs, 3 cups of pudding and a jug of water. I rolled my eyes.

"We should move on." I declared.

"Yeah." answered Rachel and Percy.

"So, to get the lyre we need to find out, who that contact was. Any objections?" I wondered aloud. No one spoke up.

"Kayla do you know the contacts name?" I asked.

"I think so, let me make sure with Prostatis. After a momnet of silence she nodded.

"So what's the name?" asked Leo. She spoke without hesitation.

"His name is Luke Castellan."

A.N: SHOCKS! I'll explain how that is possible in the next chapter! This story is just full of twists :D Anyway, review if you like or if you have any questions! R&R! ;)
