Needless to say the adventure so far has not been so enjoyable. Clara had been chased through the woods, nearly eaten by some giant lion faced monster. And now she has smoldering in the summer heat while being yanked and pushed around by a loud violent armored girl and her friends, with her hands tied up. They escorted Clara through the woods, keeping a firm grip on her arm. She had already lost track of the Doctor. He was dragged off by other kids elsewhere, so now Clara was completely alone with a mentally unstable weirdo. We hiked through the woods for what felt like hours, but in reality were only minutes. I emerged from the brush to see rather nice looking, but very oddly built, cabins.

"Nice place you got here," Clara said. She gazed over the beutiful landscape. In the backgroung she saw various groups of kids also in armor with swords. Other groups appeared to just be having fun or playing games.

"Whats this place called?" asked Clara.

Clarisse walked up to her. "To us, home. To you, Tartarus." She turned around and continued walking.

Claras gave an confused expression. "Tartar souce?"

Clarisse stopped dead in her tracks and turned back around. She glared daggers at Clara.

"No, it's Tartarus."

Clara was even more confused. "Tarta rus? Whats that?"

"NO! Its one word! Tartarus!" She yelled

Clara stared at her blankly. "I have literally, no idea what your talking about." She said, shaking her head.

Clarisse facepalmed. She walked up to her, grabbed her arm and forcefully tugged her along the path with her.

"Never mind. We dont have time for this foolishness. I will be able to finish you myself soon enough."

We continued down the path and walked by several other groups of kids. They all either stared at me or glared. I would have to try to escape soon. Clearly I wasnt welcome. It seems as though the only reason I'm alive is because they want to know how I bypassed their security system before killing me. After we walked passed all the groups of kids and the cabins we came across a much larger building. I tried to ask a few more questions about this place like 'did you build all this,' 'how did no one know this place was here,' and 'why there was blood thirsty lion faced monster.' All I got was a slap and silence.

We approached the building, walked up the stairs and through the front door. My arm was getting sore from her constant tight grip. After entering I was led to a office where I was forcibly sat down in a chair. Clarisse and two other kids had rope which they used to tie my arms and legs to the chair. They left the room afterwards but before Clarisse shut the door behind them she said.

"Stay put and dont try anything. I have two of my best fighters guarding the door. If they hear so much as a cricket they will slay you."

"Thanks for the advice. I much prefer to not be slayed."

Clarisse gritted her teeth. "No talking either. Chiron will be here soon to decide your fate. Not that there are many options for you."

Clarisse slammed the door shut. Clara just sat there, tied up, thinking of a way out. The ropes were far too tight to wiggle out of. Clarisse made sure of that. Even if she could she was warned that guards wouldnt hesitate to kill her right at the door. One false move would mean her doom.

A few moments passed. The door opened, but who or what came out was very surprising. It was a half man half horse creature. Unlike the chimera Clara had actually heard of these kinds of creatures from her students in class.

"Your a centaur?" she asked.

He paced around Clara while examining her.

"Indeed, I am" he said while stroking his beard.

All Clara could give in reply was a smile and a chuckle.

"You think this is funny," he said in a serious tone.

She nodded.

"How so?"

"Its just, I got to be dreaming or hallucinating cause there is no way you really look like that. I mean, I've faced some pretty crazy creatures and been to even crazier places but this...this has to be a dream"

"And why is that?"

"Cause this is a fairytale. The only way this would be possible is if you were the result of an aliens genetic hybrid experiment."

"So you say this is a fairytale, but what you said is just as much of a fairytale."

"Except what I said is true and actually possible."

Chiron put his hand up to his forehead. "I'm done argueing. I just want to know what you are."

"Im human," she said plainly.

Chiron let out an exasperated sigh. "But thats not possible. No human has or ever will breach this camp, so you are not human. You are either a demigod, or something else."

Clara gave him her confused expression. "Whats a demigod."

Chiron hit his desk with the palm of his hand. "The amout of your stupidity astounds me!"

"Hey, its ignorence, theres a difference"

Chiron stood by his desk for a moment in silence. Deciding whether or not continueing the interrogation would be beneficial or if he should dispose of her. After another quick moment he made his decision.

"You see, humans cant just wonder in here by accident and you dont smell like a demigod. So im afraid I must eradicate you before you do anything to harm us."

Clara was instantly filled with fear. She then began to struggle to hopefully escape the rope but to no avail.

"Wait, you said you could smell me I should smell like a human right? So you know im telling the truth."

"As i said no human could come here."

"Then what could I possibly be!" I yelled

"I'm not sure. I've seen too much bloodshed to risk anyone else in my camp."

"So your solution to a problem you dont understand is to kill me!"

"I'm sorry, we have clever foes. We cannot take anymore chances."

Chiron unsheathed his sword. He directed it at Clara and walked tawords her. She began to struggle again, still to no avail.

"Wait I can tell you how I got in, just let me explain."

He hesitated. "we will obtain our answeres from the gray haired human. he is obviosly much more important and smart. you are merely his pawn."

Clara felt slightly offended. They were partners and dear friends. Now however is not a good time to talk about that to an angry centaur with a sword close to your head.

"But if you kill me he will never say anything. He is not unreasonable, ask him nicely he will explain. Kill me, he will make this place burn."

"Is that a threat!" he roared.

"No, its just what will happen. Im trying to help you. Dont believe me? Kill me, and take your chances that way."

Chiron lowered his sword and contenplated his options. After a moment he sheathed his sword.

"Very well, you will live for now. But you will be guarded at all times. One wrong step you will be swiftly and instantly executed."

"Sounds fair," she said smiling. Chiron then left the room.

"So I'm spending the night here I guess," she muttered to herself.

Clara then heard a light tapping on the window to her right. She looked over to see the Doctor and two other teenage kids. One was a dark haired boy while the other was a blonde girl. The Doctor stood behind them, waving at her through the window. He gestured to them to back up and pulled out his sonic screwdriver. Once activated the tip light up blue and made its high pitched noise. The glass immedietely shattered around them. It was at that time I decided to share my crucial information.

"There are guards at the door!" I yelled.

Sure enough two guards in full armor came bursting through the door with swords drawn. The two kids frantically climbed through the broken window to defend me when the Doctor activated his screwdriver again. This time it was aimed at the guards hands. Sparks flew and they dropped their weapons one at a time. This gave them enough time to finish climbing down and rush the guards before they had a chance to regain their weapons. The boy pulled out a bronze sword from semmingly nowhere and was hitting the guard in the face with the hilt until he passed out. The girl pulled out a dagger and stabbed the other guard in the leg through a chink in the armor while covering his mouth so the screams dont alert anyone. The boy then came around and smacked him with the flat surface of his sword hard enough to knock him out. The boy and girl then ran over to me and frantically untied my arms and legs. The Doctor meanwhile was still outside gesturing for us to hurry up. While they are untieing me I decided to ask a few questions.

"Who are you two exactly?"

"I'm Percy, this is Annabeth," he said without looking away from the rope.

"We must hurry, who knows how many people heard that." chimed in Annabeth. "And we have to get you and the Doctor out now."

"While I appreciate the help I must ask, why?"

"No time to explain now. We'll talk later," said Percy.

Seconds later, all the rope was succesfully untied and I was free. After which the three of us dashed for the window to finish our escape.

Authors note: One quick question. Do you want me to continue the story or show the Doctors side of what happened to him leading up to this. It's not dire to the story but if your interested let me know.
