Percy and Annabeth were the only two unlucky enough to fall and get a face full of leaves, meanwhile the Doctor and Clara were still on their feet. The Docter walked over to the blue box which could only be the tardis. Clara instead decided to help Percy and Annabeth up.

"I'm sorry, teleports can be pretty rough." She grabbed Annabeths hand and helped pull her up. Percy got himself up.

"How did we fall and you didnt," asked Percy, mildly annoyed.

"I dont know, maybe you landed on lumpy ground and tripped."

Percy and Annabeth weren't satisfied with that response. They began to brush all the leaves off themselves and picking twigs out of their hair.

"Come on then, the Doctor will be waiting." She started to lead them to the tardis, only a few feet away. Just before opening the door Clara stopped, turned around, and said to them.

"Just so you know, um, this is a really special box. One of a kind!. And so, you'll have the surprise of a lifetime. Just be prepared-." She stopped. Percy and Annabeth were giving her a distasteful scowl, as if trying to decide whether or not Clara is insulting them.

"Nevermind, you just...go and see for yourselves." She moved out of their way. Percy and Annabeth opened the door and went into the tardis. Clara was expeccting them to come running out and around the tardis in astonishment. No such event occured. She then went in after them to discover they were wandering around the platform while the Doctor fidled with the console. Taking in all the cool technology they were surrounded in.

"This is amazing!" exclaimed Percy.

"What a beauty of a marvel this thing is," said Annabeth, while admiring the room.

Clara crept up behind them.

"Um, are'nt you shocked its bigger on the inside than the outside."

Percy gave her an eyeroll. "Oh please, like we said we're demigods, this is nothing. On a scale of 1\10 this is the 5th coolest thing I've ever seen."

She felt dissapointed, then slightly angry.

"There is no such thing as demigods! Could you stop this stupid game and come clean please."

"But thats the truth." Annabeth said bluntly.

Clara turned around to the Doctor. "Excuse me, Doctor. Could you please explain to them how they're delusional?"

He seemingly didnt hear her as he continued his work on the console until he finally acknowledged the question by saying, "Their not."

This left Clara confused. "Wait, um...could you repeat that?

The Doctor sighed and stopped his work. He walked up to them and continued his explanation.

"They're not delusional." This dumbfounded Clara. "These two kids," he gestured to them, " as well as that camp of kids are all real demigods."

Her jaw dropped. "And your just now telling me this!"

"We were running for our lives, not exactly a great time to get to know eachother."

"B-b-but that is fantasy, this is reality, there is no such thing as magic."

"Oh Clara, have'nt I taught you anything. Im slightly dissapointed in you. There is such thing as magic, its just what we call extremely advanced science.

Clara was shocked beyond words, before she could say anything else she stared at him for a solid minute. The Doctor just stood there silent waiting for her to regain her voice.

"Why havent you ever told me? How have we never came across them before?"

"I didnt know. I just found out like you, except much faster I suppose. I had to use that locater to find this place. They seem to have access to a perception filter so as to stay hidden from everyone."

"I think you mean the mist," chimed in Annabeth. The Doctor waved dismissively at her.

"Point is im just as fascinated about these kids as you are."

"You realize im far more shocked than fascinated." The Doctor gave another dismissive wave. "But why havent we seen them before anywhere else? Despite the perception filter Im sure we still could have easily noticed them, at least you would."

"I can answere that!," Percy jumped in. "You see, since we're demigods we attract other mythical monsters and creatures, all of which want to kill us."

"Like the chimera?"

"Yep. We dont travel much. They can easily smell us and wont hesitate to attack so we typically stay within the safety of our barrier at camp on long island."

"You mean the force field that nearly killed me several times and conveniently had no affect on your friends."

Percy and Annabeth faces saddened. They were still distraught about their friends, but continued to answere her questions.

"Yeah...exactly. Like we said it was made for us to be safe. It has no affect on demigods."

Clara picked up on their sadness and decided to try to stop asking them questions.

"So...Doctor, where to now? Whats the plan?"

"I'm not entirely sure. Other that the audio message they recieved theres no reason to stay here."

"What message?"

"We got a tape recorder on our porch describing to us where and when to find the Doctor to free him. Said an incoming disaster was nearing," said Annabeth.

"Anything else useful?"

"Nope."

"Who's voice was it? Was it the Doctors?"

"No actually, it was a womans voice."

"But not me?"

"Yeah, definitaly."

"Well then congradulations, we are still no closer to figuring out what the heck is going on."

"And dont forget about the shadow proclamation," said Percy.

"Yeah, right, thanks for that," she said sarcastically. She turned to the Doctor. "How did you get us out anyway? Moments ago they looked like they were ready to beat us to a pulp."

"Long story. Not important. We have to continue with the task at hand." He went back to the console and started flipping switches and levers.

This made Clara suspicous. The Doctor can be very vague but this answere seemed particularly evasive. She decided to ask him more about it later since she wouldnt likely get anything else better at this time.

"AH-HA!," exclaimed the Doctor. "Gotcha." He reached and pulled down a lever. The tardis activated.

EEERRRRRRWHOOOSH EEERRRRRRWHOOOSH EEERRRRRRWHOOOSH

The whole ship rumbled and shook violently. Everyone rushed to the hand rails for support while the Doctor held onto the console. Clara has had her fair share of rough rides in the tardis but this probably set a new record. The ship tossed and turned, nearly throwing everyone over the hand rails multiple times. The ride lasted only a few moments, and everyone was thankful when it did end. Clara and Annabeths hair looked like it had gone through a tornado and was an utter mess. Other than maybe a few bruises everyone was fine.

"Doctor, maybe a little warning next time!" shouted Annabeth.

"I make no promises," he said as he took out the device he used for locating the camp.

"That thing again. really? we nearly died because of it," said Clara

"And it wont be the last. Whatever happened, or going to happen must be because of some greek mythology mess otherwise you two would have never been dragged along with me."

"Yeah, sounds like something that would happen," Percy agreed.

"I had to scan the area for the nearest supernatural readings, out there should be something mythology related to aid our investigation."

"You can track the monsters?"

"Somewhat, theres no guaruntee its monster of anykind but thats why we're here, for answeres."

"Just as long as its not furies. I hate those things. They are the absolute worst, well maybe not the absolute worst. There is far worse stuff."

"Hold a second," said Clara. "If your real demigods that means there are real actual gods?"

"Yes," confirmed Annabeth.

"So why cant you ask them to help? Would that make everything so much easier?"

"It would but as divine gods they are extremely limited to how they can interact with the mortal world."

"Even if their kids are dying and their homes will be destroyed?"

"We train for this, quests like this is what we live for. Besides, sometimes they even send their own kids to their deaths over a quest."

This unsettled Clara. Who could possibly so awful as to send people, their own kids no less, to their deaths. The greek gods, thats who. Clara suddenly became very thankful she was not a demigod.

"Wait, where did the Doctor go?," Percy said.

They took a quick look around and couldnt find him. They soon determined he went outside without them. And he gets onto Percy about impatience?

They go out together to find the Doctor being held upside down by giant cyclopses. They were easily over double as tall as the Doctor or any other fully grown man. Behind them two empousai came from around the corner. They bared their fangs and showed off their talons. Their clothes were torn and ripped as if they play with a saw, and have long dark black hair. Meanwhile the Doctor hung from the grip of the cyclops, not panicing or screaming. Just shouting at Clara and the rest of the group to run while they could. That idea sounded good to Clara but she wasnt about to leave her friend behind. Percy and Annabeth had a better understanding of what they were up against and knew running wouldnt help since they were etremely fast. All they could do was bide their time and give into their demands. All Clara could do was snap her fingers to automatically close the tardis doors shut so they couldnt raid or destroy the tardis. This left the empousai displeased. They encircled them to ensure no one would foolishly attempt an escape, and administered their demands.

"Heres how this is going to work!," one hissed. "You stay still or die. As much as we would love to kill you on the spot, our master requires you."

Authors note: ok, two things.

1: I'm sorry this took almost a month to come out. I know I'm sounding like a broken record but I still have school and its hitting kinda hard and lately I've been lacking motivation to write. I know I said I would try uploading on saturdays but thats not going to happen at all since I'm super busy saturdays now. I have a life outside of school, don't question it. Needless to say my upload schedule will be unreliable at best.

2: I'm also sorry for all the exposition. I'm sure your all getting tired of it and want the story to mave on a little faster. I just wanted to go ahead and answere most of the questions you may be having, and get all of it out of the way so I can move on with the characters and story. Just because you know it doesnt mean Clara knows it.
