Fishnet zip up jacket – Rags n Rituals
When I came out of the darkness, I tripped, but Nico caught me. He helped me to the bed, where Will took over. He gave me ambrosia and nectar, he wrapped my hand with a bandage. It was healed thanks to the nectar and ambrosia, but I still had some pretty nasty cuts. He told me I would have to stay in the infirmary for a few days to make sure I was ok. I scoffed and rolled my eyes, but complied.
"Wait, so how many days do I have to stay here for?" I asked.
"About three. I'll come check on you every so often." He replied.
"Can I go get some things first? Like to keep me entertained?" I said.
"I'll ask Percy to bring some stuff over, I really don't want you walking for a while."
"Alrighty then"
I was criss cross, I laid back on the pillows and crossed my ankles. I had nothing to do. I thought about my powers, and decided to test some out. There was a bin of water next to the entrance of the infirmary. Ok so it's a cooler, but I'm a daughter of Poseidon, it's an opportunity. I focused on the water in it, took it out of the containers, and lifted the lid so it could slide out. I brought it back to myself, and started making shapes with it. I thought of my family. Noah, Yali, Lucas, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Calypso, Frank, Hazel, Will, Nico. I opened my eyes, and there was a statue of all of us, in color, having fun, right in front of me.
"Hey, sis I brought you some stuff…." Percy said.
It startled me, I lost control of the statue and it dropped on the bed.
"Oh, hi Percy, I didn't see you coming." I replied.
"Ya I can see that. What did you make?" He asked.
"I have no idea, all I know is that I was thinking of you guys, my family, when I opened my eyes this was here." I stated.
"Well, just don't let Will see you using your powers, he'll freak."Percy said.
"I won't, and thanks for bringing my stuff." I replied.
"Your welcome sis, just make sure you rest." He said.
I looked through my stuff. He brought me some clothes, two books…. And my violin. Why did he bring my violin? How did he even know where it was? Wait, it had been on my bunk since I hid it under my bed when he was there… Well, I might just have to sneak out one night and play a little bit.
I heard the conk blow, all of the healers filed out. I was not that hungry, but It was dinner. I wanted to eat, eh I'll be fine. All of a sudden Nico came in.
"Hey, you ok?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Will just wants me to stay here for three days. Though I presume by tomorrow night I might sneak out." I can't believe I just told him that.
"Crap," I muttered under my breath.
" Yeah, I don't blame you." He said.
"Wait. So you're not gonna tell him I said that?" I asked.
"Of course not. Anyone who stands up to me earns my permanent respect." He replied.
"And how many people have stood up to you?" I said.
"Honestly you're the only person to ever stand up to me like you did. Other people have stood up to me. Just not many." He answered.
"That makes sense. But why aren't you at dinner?" I replied.
"I don't eat a lot. Plus I'm not hungry. Are you? I could get you some food." He said.
"Ooook, but no thank you. What I need to do is have fun. But if Will has any say in it I won't even be walking for another three days." I said.
"Well If you're as smart as you look, you'll be able to escape with no problem." He replied then walked out, just as everyone was coming back in.
"Here you go Grace, I brought you some food." Will said.
"No thanks I'm not hungry." I replied.
He just shrugged and left a plate on the night stand right beside me.

"You'll never get her to bring anyone but herself down here to save us! She won't risk anyone's life but hers!" I heard my brother scream.
I opened my eyes and saw Tartarus, but I did not see my brother.
I felt someone shaking me, I opened my eyes groggily.
"StopIwannagobacktosleep!" I mumbled.
"Ok I have no idea what you just said, but Will wanted you to come to the singalong. He has your violin with him." Nico said.
"HE WHAT!" I screamed.
" Ya everyone is just finishing up dinner now, so you should get changed and come, he won't start without you." He walked out.
I got up and took a quick shower. I quickly got on jean shorts and a black spaghetti strap tank top on. It was a V cut, and it was about an half an inch above where my bra starts. I had my dagger on the left side of my belt and my sword on the right. My hair was down because I was too lazy to put it up. I also had on my fishnet jacket, it was sort of off the shoulders sort of not.
I was furious, Will have taken my violin! He. Was. Dead. I practically ran to the campfire. No one was there except for Nico, Noah, Yali, Lucas, Will, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Calypso, Jason, Piper, and Reyna. I climbed down the stairs and saw Will sitting right in front of the fire. I unsheathed my dagger ( I handle my dagger with my right hand and my sword with my left. ) I threw it and it landed right in the middle of Will's feet. He was practicing and he stopped. He slowly put his guitar down and looked up. He was met with glaring eyes. Everything had gone silent, everyone was watching.
"Where is it?" I asked in a steely calm tone.
"Where is what?" He answered, he was smirking.
In a flash I picked my dagger up and held it at his throat, my arm outstretched. He was scared now.
"Under the bench." He replied.
I sheathed my dagger and looked under the bench, sure enough there it was. I picked it up and spoke to him, not angry anymore.
"So why did you take it? I mean come on, you must have a reason." I asked him.
"I want you to play. I hear from others that you are really good." He said
I glared at Yali, she smirked and nodded her head, she wanted me to play. See if ten years of not playing made me rusty.
"Fine. Do you know Roundtable Rival by: Lindsay Stirling?" I asked. He nodded his head.
I got my violin out, got it tuned and ready. In about ten minutes everyone was filed in.
"Ok Chiron is almost here, he is just rounding everybody up. So tonight after the first song I'm just gonna start playing different songs, I can play any instrument thanks to my dad." He stated.
"Ok, and for the record I can tell that you actually know how to play guitar by the way you hold it." I replied.
Chiron appeared soon after we talked. He nodded toward Will. I took a deep breath and started playing once Will counted us off. Now just like Lindsay Stirling I can dance while playing, I had even met her and she said I was better than her. I can't play if I don't dance. So I was dancing right along to the music or in other words : really hard. I did this for all of the songs. We played:
1 ) Roundtable rival.
2 ) Shatter me, Yali sang.
3 ) Something Wild, Will sang.
4 ) Artemis.
After every song we got applause. After we played the first song I could tell people were wondering how I could dance while playing, because of the looks in their eyes. Once people started clearing out I put my violin away. When I turned around Will was there. He grabbed me and started toward the infirmary.
"Really will? Come on. I'm fine." I said.
"You slept through basically the whole day and you think you're fine?" He replied.
"Yes. I feel fine. I mean I'm tired but I just danced and played my violin as hard as I could." I stated.
"You. Are. Staying. In. The. Infirmary. For. The. Whole. Three days." He replied.
I sighed, I really was not in the mood to argue with this kid. I flicked his hand off easily, I still walked with him. When we were right outside of the infirmary, I took my phone out of my pocket. No one know but when I deleted my contacts when I was little, I had deleted my mom's. But I put it back in my new phone, she just didn't know.
"Will, can I call someone first?" I asked. I knew there was a slim chance she would answer but I had to try.
"Why?" He replied.
"Well… I have not talked to my mom in ten years… so…" I trailed off.
He nodded his head. "Once you're done just come back to the infirmary K?"
"Thanks Will." I said.
I walked about ten feet away from the infirmary, and dialed the number.
"Hello?" My mom said.
"Hi, mom." I replied.
"Grace? Is it really you?"
"Ya, it's me mom. And before you wonder where I am, I'm at camp."
"Is it ok if I come and see you tomorrow?"
"Ya, I'd like that. I'd like that a lot." We said goodbye and I hung up.
I went back back to the infirmary, changed, and got in bed. I got to sleep pretty fast.

"You'll never get her to bring anyone but herself down here to save us! She won't risk anyone's life but hers!" I heard my brother scream.
I opened my eyes and saw Tartarus, but I did not see my brother. Then Tartarus moved and He was there with Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Calypso, Lucas, Yali, Noah, and Will.
Everyone except my brother was unconscious.
"Is that so little demigod? You escaped from my clutches once. I thought it would be fun to destroy you, but it will be even more exciting to destroy the bane of olympus.
I woke up with a fright. I got into a pair of clean clothes though it was the same thing I had worn last night. I wore it a lot, so I had a lot of the outfit. I got my weapons, ambrosia, and nectar. I ran as fast as I could to the Hades cabin. I knocked on the door, Nico answered and he had his sword out.
"Is Hazel here?" I asked. He must have heard the urgency in my voice cause he checked.
"No. Where is she?" He asked.
I told him about my dream, he got ready to go get them, we went to the Big House.
"What is wrong, children?" Chiron asked. I told him everything.
"Go back to your cabins for now, we will discuss this more in the morning." He said.
"They don't have that much time Chiron!" I replied.
"In the morning." He shut the door on us.
"We're not listening are we?" Nico asked.
"Of course not. Now here is the plan. I call raven, we go to the entrance you took Percy to when he took a dip in the Styx, and we go to Tartarus." I said.
"Good plan." Nico replied.
I called Raven and we got on. It took us about two hours to get to the entrance to the underworld.
"Are you ready? This is gonna be hard." He asked.
"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Now let's go." I replied.
We stepped into the barley lit stairway and began our descent to the underworld.
Hope you guys enjoyed! As you can tell things are getting exciting!I hope you all liked it. Also Roundtable Rival by: Lindsay Stirling is a real son, it is really good. Lindsay is a really good violinist. You guys should go check her out on YouTube, you might like what she is doing. Keep in mind this suggestion is coming from me and I am a violinist. All the songs I use in these are real songs.
