-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Hey, what's wrong? You didn't like my view?" I asked, chasing after him down the stairs.

He didn't stop to answer me, but only started taking two steps at a time. "Yeah, there was a certain mythological beast called the Minotaur racing towards your house."

I stopped dead in my tracks. What did he just say?

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

"Are you saying that the Minotaur's running towards my house?" I questioned, still trying to catch up to his steps.

"Okay, my answer was pretty clever so don't ruin it please and just get ready to fight it." Hayden responded, already at the bottom of the staircase.

I rolled my eyes, when realization hit me in the face. I had none of my weapons on me whatsoever.

I turned around and instantly ran for my room, where I kept all my emergency weapons. From afar, I can hear the Minotaur coming closer; its growls and roars becoming louder and louder.

"Where are you going?!" He yelled, one foot out the door, the other planted on the hard tile of my kitchen floor.

"I don't have anything!" I shouted in reply, as I was about to reach the second floor. "Hold it off for me!"

He nodded grimly and ran out the door. I sprinted up my staircase and practically leapt on my bed room floor. I crawled straight for my gardening tools and found my stash, which involved ambrosia, nectar, a first-aid kit, and all my weapons. Over the years, I learned if you're going to be going back and forth from camp, then you're going to have this kind of stuff on you or wherever you go.

Me being unprepared doesn't usually happen, so this little situation angered me.

I was shuffling through the weapons, taking out a sword and a knife, when I found something that didn't belong.

There was a little metallic box with a note on top of it.

"What?" I frowned as I unfolded the note quickly.

Dear Katherine (I'm still unsure whether you're Katie or Katherine, but whatever),

You'll find this when something bad's happening. Beckendorf used to make these all the time before he went on the mission, and I figured out how he did it. So here's some stuff that'll really help you.

Annabeth.

Beckendorf was still a sore subject for me, but it made me wonder what was in the box. It opened kind of like a lunch box and I found something I thought I'd never see again.

I grabbed just two out of the ten and carefully put the rest away. I went downstairs as meticulously as I could, yet trying to be fast.

I ran out of my house to the backyard. I nearly dropped everything when I saw Hayden gracefully fighting the Minotaur; his moves were really advanced. I felt the kind of awe I feel when I see Annabeth, Percy, Clarisse, Alexis, Will, or Ari fight.

I snapped out of the trance when Hayden smirked at me for a moment and kept on fighting.

"Hayden, move!" I shouted. "Get back in the house!" He frowned at me in confusion and I groaned ."Trust me!"

He reluctantly went inside my house. "I hope you know what you're doing."

I nodded and waited until the Minotaur stopped moving around so much. It then started running towards me.

"Katie, what the heck are you even doing?!" Hayden exclaimed from inside. I blocked out his shouting and that's when the Minotaur hit the perfect spot.

I pulled the pin out of one of the grenades and threw it at the Minotaur. It hit its paw and it looked at the grenade with confusion.

Within seconds, a huge explosion took place in my backyard. I was knocked back against the glass door hard. If it weren't for the bullet proof glass, I would've probably flown right through the door. I saw the Minotaur engulfed in Greek fire and watched both slowly disintegrate.

I winced as I slowly got off the ground. I stood as straight as I could, pain shooting through my back the entire time.

"Oh my gosh, Katie your head."

I touched my forehead and looked at my fingers. Blood. "Take me to my room; I have stuff in there."

"Hell no, I'm taking you to an emergency room." Hayden objected, as he carried me in his arms.

I shook my head in protest with pain reminding me not to do that. "We have a clinic in town, and the closest professional hospital is in Raleigh. It's not like you were going to put me on a motorcycle anyway." He cursed under his breath. "Don't do that," I discouraged. "Taking me upstairs is good enough."

He frowned but proceeded to take me upstairs. "I feel awful for going inside."

"Don't think that, I've used something like this before but I didn't think it'd be that powerful." I replied, trying to make him feel less guilty. I doubt it's working. "We both didn't know that wouldn't happen, so it's not your fault. At least my house is in one piece."

We finally made it to my room, and he placed me on my bed gently. "Where's the stuff you're talking about?"

I pointed towards my gardening chest. "It's in there,"

He walked towards the chest and starting sorting through my stuff. Pain kept streaming through my body and my vision started to become blurry.

"Hey Katie, is this it?" I couldn't find the strength to reply when suddenly ambrosia was stuffed in my mouth. I slowly chewed; this time, I tasted strawberry cheesecake. I felt little strength come back to my body, but it was something. I started to see clearly and saw Hayden sitting over me, a look of relief plastered on his face. "I couldn't stuff anymore or else you'll end up like the Minotaur."

I felt the corners of my lips go up and took the glass of water being offered to me. After taking a huge gulp, I smiled gratefully at him. "Thanks,"

He nodded, as he lifted me up slowly. "I already disinfected your wounds, but I couldn't bandage you." He carefully put my head on his lap and began to bandage it. "I'm not a son of Apollo, so when Annabeth gets home, ask her to check your head out." He finished and moved my head back on the pillow. "I'm going to get you something to eat, don't sleep."

"I didn't hit my head that hard."

"Your door currently has a couple of cracks." He scoffed as he went for the staircase. He turned to look at me one more time and grinned. "Get real,"

I sighed as I nodded; he took as a sign and went downstairs.

I closed my eyes, wanting to rest them and get my head clear. It worked, for my pain started to lessen bit by bit. I was almost at peace when I heard something slam.

"Katie, where are you?! Are you okay?!"

"Mr. Gardner!"

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?!"

"I'm a fri-"

"You want my daughter obviously! Get out of my house!"

"What?!"

"Katie! Where are you?!"

"Mr. Gardner, you daug-"

"Shut up, I'm finding my little girl!"

Oh shoot. My dad's back.

"You're a son of Apollo?" I questioned, as Tanner was digging through his closet.

"Yeah, that's why I made my friends take you here instead of a hospital." He looked at me from the closet and smirked. "Because you look like you're running away." He turned around with a box and walked towards the bed. "And if I do it, you'll heal quicker." He put the box down and knelt at the side of the bed. "Besides, hospitals suck in my opinion. Why go there when your dad is the god of medicine? It's so expensive, you have to wait forever to get healed, and the food sucks." I guffawed at his statements. "Don't doubt my authenticity, I speak from experience."

"Obviously," I commented, as he pushed my shirt a bit. I glared at him and he laughed.

"Don't worry, your gash is at your stomach. I'm only moving it up so I could clean your wound." He winked at me. "Unless you want me to take off your shirt." I sent him a look that could kill and he kept laughing. "I'm just kidding, I'm kidding." He pushed my shirt up to the bottom of my bra and handed me a towel. "You should bite on this." I grabbed it and placed it in my mouth. He then proceeded to cleaning the wound.

I obviously bit on the towel. I'm surprised that I didn't bite through it.

By the time he was finished, his hands were dirty and the towels he used to clean the wound were filthy. "Well, did you fall off any trees lately?" I nodded slowly and he smiled. "Okay, you fell and a branch probably scratched you. But the branch that got you pierced your skin, really bad." He took a pause and wiped my head with a cool towel. "It cut pretty deep, but nothing that chanting and godly foods can't fix."

I sighed with relief. "Thanks Dr. Tanner."

"You're welcome, Miss Cam." He said, placing his hands on the gash. "I'm going to chant now, so don't freak out. I'm not part of a cult."

"I wouldn't think that," I replied. Tanner gave me a smile before closing his eyes in concentration and began to chant.

After about 20 minutes of chanting, he finally stopped. He opened his eyes and I noticed that he was really sweaty and out of breath.

"I've never seen a healer be as exhausted as you," I murmured.

He wiped his forehead with his sleeve and took a swig of water. "I was chanting some pretty intense stuff. You have no idea how bad you had it," He took a deep breath and another sip of water. "Anyway, I'm just gonna bandage you up and you can stay here."

"Are you sure?" I asked. "I don't want to be any trouble."

He smiled as he finished wrapping the bandage around my torso. "Yeah," He used a wet towel and started to wipe my back. "Sorry if this is too much of an invasion of your personal bubble. You can shower later after your wound heals more." He continued to wipe down sweaty areas as my cheeks flared with embarrassment. How could he be so comfortable? Oh wait, he does this kind of stuff all the time.

When he finished, Tanner stood up and stretched. "I'm going to change and get you some clothes."

"Thanks," I said gratefully. "For everything,"

He smiled at me as he was about to enter the bathroom. "It's no problem,"

After he went into the bathroom, Alex and Mike came in without shirts.

"Oh my gosh!" I shouted, pulling down my shirt and covering my eyes.

They seemed to crash into something and they exclaimed.

"Cam! We thought you were asleep or something!" Alex explained, as it sounded like he was opening a cabinet. "We just came in to get some shirts!"

"It's okay," I said, my hands still over my eyes. "Are you guys dressed?"

"Yes," Mike answered. I took my hands off, and Alex was still in the midst of pulling on his shirt. His eyes grew wide and he quickly pulled down his shirt.

"Sorry!" I apologized, my cheeks flaring up. "Mike said you were done."

Tanner walked out of the bathroom and looked at all of us. "What's up with all of you?"

"They walked in without shirts," I instantly answered.

"Her shirt was up!" Alex replied.

He rolled his eyes and suddenly, I felt it coming.

A vision.
