It happened at about 12:15 pm. They had just finished at the Archery range when they heard a scream. They all rushed towards the dining Pavilion, a crowd of demigods, and saw a girl of about fifteen years old shivering on the floor. she was wearing a pink sundress and what looked like a fur coat, dancing shoes and a small black purse. Her hair was in a perm, the type they did before WWW2. {World War II }.
The crowd began to part as Chiron approached them. He had been enjoying some chocolate in the solitude of the Big House when he heard the scream and decided to check on the children.
The girl on the floor looked familiar to Chiron as he approached her and he was sure he'd seen her somewhere. The girl grunted and turned her head towards Chiron as he gasped. He did know the girl. In fact, the girl had been popular at Camp during her time as even the Ares children knew not to mess with her: Zarah Fròlich, Daughter of Aphrodite, Descendant of the three Gorgon sisters. She went missing on a quest in the year 1935 just a few years before World War II started.
"Get her to the Infirmary and get all the counsellors of the cabins. We have a lot to discuss." Chiron told the demigods closest to him.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
The beeps were starting to get on Zarah's nerves, sending signals all over her body, telling her to attack whatever was making that sound.
She heard a groan but was not sure where it came from,though she knew she was the source.
Her eyes fluttered open and she turned her head towards the right. She could see a Heart Rate Monitor a few more beds a table with medical supplies and an overhead cabinet. To her left, she saw an African American girl with long wavy black hair-and what seemed to be yellow eyes.- Wearing a lab coat.
"Where am I? " Zarah managed to croak out of her dry throat.
"Camp Half Blood. I am Nicole... by the way."
"Camp Half Blood.. I've been here before. " Zarah muttered to herself
"Oh you have?"Nicole asked, eyebrows raised.
Zarah didn't expect Nicole to hear her, but it seemed like the girl's senses were sharp, very sharp as Zarah only whispered .
Then a thought occurred to Nicole, a thought that set her heart racing. She walked casually to the foot of the bed and spoke gently as she pulled out a Notepad and pen.
"I will ask you a few questions and you are to answer truthfully,you understand?" Nicole questioned.
Zarah nodded, wondering where this was going.
"How do you feel? "
"I feel good, actually."
Nicole began to notice the accent. It was like a mix of French and Russian heading towards Germany but not clear.
"Where did you live before to got to camp half Blood? "
"Russia."
"Where were you born?"
"Germany."
"Zarah, what year is it?"
"Why it's 1935!"

Chiron called for a meeting not a fight.
Clarisse La The, Daughter of Ares and Kristen Simon, Daughter of Nike were fighting. Again. Over what- Nobody knew.
The counsellors of a few cabins, Chiron and Dionysus were having a meeting in the rec room.
Well, they were supposed to.
Finally, Dionysus had started having a headache and gods of Olympus knew this fight would last for the next two days if care wasn't taken.
"Be quiet, both of you and let the old horse speak. Or else I'll turn you both into squirrels."
Both demigods grudgingly fell silent, not wanting to get on the god's nerves.
"Now that peace has been restored," Chiron started "I will like to discuss an urgent matter. It's about the girl at the pavilion."
"Yeah, do you think it's a sign or something? " said Percy, who had been surprisingly silent throughout the Clarisse-Kristen frenzy.
"Yes I believe it is. She was a demigod here, Daughter of Aphrodite. She went on a quest in 1935 and never returned. We thought she died but her body was never found. We also thought her mortal family hid her because well... they were a family of assassins and they had lots of reasons to hide her. " Chiron continued.
Annabeth asked "Family of Assassins? " at the same time Clarisse asked "Daughter of Aphrodite? "
"Yes and yes. You should all probably also know that she descended from all three of the Gorgon sisters and she is extremely powerful."
"Does she petrify people?" Percy asked obviously baffled.
"No. Her abilities are limited. Strength and speed for Shteno, The voice of a banshee for Eruyale and Sighting as Medusa. And by sighting, I mean she could see things before they happen and her instincts were sharp. " Chiron answered.
"What the horse has been trying to say is: Aphrodite is planning something and it is not love related."
