Grover's POV
"Are you guy's crazy?" I asked. "This place is weird!" I was ignored, by everyone!
In front of the store was a forest of statues, it was creepy! Wait! That one looks like Uncle Ferdinand! I said as much.
"Don't knock-!" Before I could finish Tucker cut me off.
"He has a point it's a shop," He said. "And I need my burgers!"
"Meat!" Sam and I said. "Vegetarian!"
Percy looked at me funny. "You eat aluminium cans!" he said.
"Those are vegetables!" I countered, pathetically. "Can't we just leave! These statues... are looking at me!"
The door creaked open and out stepped a tall woman covered from head to two in black clothing. Her hands were the only thing visible. This place just became even more creepy.
Upon seeing the woman Danny, Dani and Cathy appeared to snap out of some sort of trance. "Grover?" They whispered to me. I nodded. "Whatever's in there is causing everyone to go into a trance like state and she is trying to trick us into... something?"
"I told you I could smell monsters!" I said.
"Yes you did," Cathy said. "But how do we help the others?" She gestured to Tucker, Percy, Annabeth and Sam.
"I know how to break Sam out of it!" Danny and Dani said.
"Excuse me?" They asked the woman. "But do you have a vegetarian option?"
The woman seemed confused for a second. Her rhythm, of steps, halted for a second as she turned to the twins. "Why would I have a vegetarian option?" She said before continuing walking. Sam stopped, shook her head and glared at the woman.
Before she could... Do whatever it is she was going to do, Danny and Cathy grabbed her shoulders.
"Whatever this place is Grover is right it's a trap," They said.
"She was holding all of you in a trance and is pulling you in!" I added. "How are we going to help Percy! If I fail again it's going to be cleaning out the toilets for the rest of my life!"
"We'll be fine!"
"You say that now!" I bleated.
"Trust me Grover!" Cathy said.
At this point I heard Percy say, "Always have a strategy, right?"
And Annabeth replied with, "Your head is full of kelp."
We had entered the warehouse, filled with more statues. They all seemed to be staring at me. Every statue was completely different. It was slowly getting creepier
In front of me Percy, Tucker and Annabeth were talking with Aunty Em and behind me Danny, Dani, Cathy and Sam were trying to come up with away to save the other three. I was stuck in the middle. I had no idea what to do.
Eventually we found the dining area and Aunty Em told us to sit.
Percy said, "Awesome!" Tucker repeated the sentiment.
"What about money?" The twins and Cathy pipped up.
Before Percy, or the other two, could react, Aunty Em said, "No, no children. No money. This is a special case, yes? It is my treat, for such nice orphans."
"Well there goes that idea!" Sam muttered.
"Thank you, ma'am," Annabeth said. I saw Aunty Em stiffen, why would she stiffen at Annabeth's words? She was being polite!
"Quite alright, Annabeth," She said. I didn't hear names being shared! Danger! Danger! "You have such beautiful grey eyes, child."
Then the woman, no monster, fled behind the snack counter!
