Eva's POV

Wow. That's all I can say about the inside of the Hermes cabin. Apparently because I am Hermes's kid I have the privilege of learning the secrets of cabin 11.

In the bathroom there is a rug that when you lift it up leads down into an underground bunker. It's known as Bunker 11.

There are computer monitors everywhere and huge chests full of pranking materials. A sleek stainless steel refrigerator stands next to what looks like a snack bar. The walls are a brown color but it has more depth than regular brown, the floor is hardwood, and the ceiling is concrete.

"The chests were my brother and my contribution to the bunker. Every new camper has to add something. Most people just add a computer or another snack for the snack bar. So don't feel like you have to go all out."

"Thanks again Travis. I already have an idea though. Don't worry it's only mildly illegal." I joke.

"Cool." I hear Travis's name being called from upstairs. He flinches, "That's probably Katie, my girlfriend, I think I forgot our date again. Gotta go." Travis waves and sprints upstairs leaving me in the bunker.

I explore a little while more and find some pretty illegal looking stuff. Usually I would have reported them, this time I don't really care though. The space isn't huge and I quickly get tired with exploring the Bunker.

Since I have nothing to do I go upstairs and put on a camp T-shirt.

"Shit." I exclaim when I realize I forgot to bring shorts. I look around the room and see some shorts lying on the ground. Soon I'm wearing those too. My black converse get put on also. When I'm ready I sprint out the door and towards the woods. The trees hang low and cast creepy shadow's everywhere.

I run through worst places in San Francisco. Besides they are just trees, they aren't going to eat me. I plunge into the woods.

It was cooler here and my skin prickles. But I'll warm up soon; I am running after all.

Thirty minutes later

Oh hell. I'm lost as fuck.

Wait a minute! I saw that tree 10 minutes ago; I did not just run in a circle. For ten minutes. In the woods. Alone.

I walk for a little bit longer hoping to get somewhere. It doesn't help me much, a few minutes later and I am still completely lost.

Whooooossshhh thump

What was that? I turn towards the sound and see two yellow eyes staring at me. I immediately run in the other direction. I can hear it following me and I know it's going to eat me. I break into a clearing that has a stream running through the middle of it. One that I can't jump over. I'm trapped.

The monster breaks into the clearing behind me. It is tiger like in build, with a huge flat head and wide-set yellow eyes. Its coat is as dark as night and the tail is scaly.

In other words, I'm terrified.

I close my eyes and tense while waiting for my death. Instead I hear bushes rustling, opening my eyes I see that the clearing is empty. The tiger monster is gone. I drop to my knees in relief.

I can hear the stream behind me and I turn to drink some. As I'm cupping some water in my hands to drink I notice that it has a weird color to it. Experimenting, I drink some. It tastes like metal. Or… oh shit. I take off in the direction that the current came from.

After about 70 feet I see a body lying in the river face down.

I rush over and pull the boy out of the stream. I begin to push on his chest so I can get the water out. He vomits water all over me but doesn't wake up. I glance at his stomach and mentally curse myself out. There is a huge bloody slash across his middle and he is bleeding heavily.

I was so focused on not letting him drown that I forgot about the blood in the river. I can't leave him cause he'll bleed out and I'm lost. I can't heal him and I am not strong enough to drag him. Plus I'M LOST. I want to cry, I don't know what to do and I don't even know who he is.

Or do I?

I study his face and gasp in recognition. It was that Valdez kid. He visited my school! He was Annabeth, Piper, and Percy's friend.

I knew Apollo was the god of healing but I had no idea how to heal. I floundered about for an answer. Unfortunately, I wasn't as smart as Annabeth. I couldn't heal like an Apollo kid. And I wasn't as fast as a Hermes kid. I was useless. Utterly useless.

I have no talents that could save Leo; I had no talents period.

But I do not give up. I start to rack my brain for a possible skill. Suddenly I remember a Memorial Day block party from when I was 10 years old. I had won a screaming contest.

Screaming! I hadn't done it in a while but I am sure I can scream pretty loud.

I hesitate, if this doesn't work the monster that was chasing me could easily track my scream. I have no choice. Leo will die.

I continue to apply pressure to the wound as I prepare to scream.

The scream rolls up through my body and escapes with force from my mouth. It is piercing. And quite loud if I do say so myself. I just hope someone heard me. Otherwise, we are both dead.

Sorry that this chapter was a little shorter. I wanted to leave it at that spot, cause I wanted a cliffie.

Was it suspenseful? Please tell me! I love any advice that you can give me.

Thanks for reading!
