Chapter 5

I pressed the knot again and the bow restrung itself. Thanks Mom, I thought. I grabbed the rest of my stuff (Which was not much) and walked out into the cool, crisp air. I walked over to the Athena cabin were I was greeted by neatly made bunks and straitened bookshelves.

"There at the archery range." Said a voice behind me. Percy smirked at me. "Great job of taking care of Clarisse, she's been in the infirmary for a few broken ribs and a big gash in her leg."

"Ya thanks. Why are you here anyway? Shouldn't you be teaching right now?" Being the only son of Poseidon, Percy took care of the water stuff that the camp did.

"When did you leave the infirmary? They were going to keep you there for a while longer. I thought you had to be in there longer than Clarisse."

"I let myself out. Well I should go and continue to the archery range." With that Percy and I departed ways, him to the waterfront, and me to the archery range. As I got closer I heard the sound of arrows pounding into targets.

I dropped to the ground, looking wildly for the mysterious archer that shot me. Realizing people were staring and there was no archer I got up and walked the rest of the way to the range.

As I got there, Chiron stared at me, along with most of the Athena cabin. Then I remembered what Percy said. I grabbed a quiver from the equipment rack and walked over to the target on the far right. By the end of the class I had made some progress. It felt like I was shooting with my dad again…

That night was colder, so everyone in the Athena cabin was asleep. I snuck out of the cabin and over to the archery range. Twice I had to hide from the Harpies. When I got there I grabbed a quiver and I walked over to the same target I was at before.

When I got to the target, I unslung my bow from my shoulder and grabbed an arrow from the quiver. It was hard to tell the time, but I thought that I had been there for maybe an hour. Grab, notch, pull, release. Grab, notch, pull, release. I kept repeating it all of that time, until I heard the snap of a twig being broken.

Harpies don't walk I thought, so I a grabbed the quiver and tied it to my belt. I grabbed of the few arrows I had left and notched it to the bow. I slowly made my way over to the sound. As I got closer I saw a figure, dressed all in black, moving slowly over to the Athena cabin. As I saw the figure, rage burned inside of me.

As I took a closer look at the figure, I saw that it was not holding a bow, yet a small vile in its hand. On its back there was a scythe. I slowly kept coming, rage gone, replaced with a sense of curiosity. Suddenly the figure turned to me and stopped moving.

It put the vile in the folds of his cloak and slowly pulled his hood back. There was not face. Just a pale, white head with no emotion. He grabbed his scythe of his back and started moving at me. I let my arrow go, just to have it cut down by the scythe. How many times is this going to happen to me, I thought as I jumped out of the way. First the Giant, now this thing. As it turned around it made a hissing noise, like a snake.

This thing clearly knew how to use his weapon to his advantage. As he came charging at me again and as I dove to the side, I shot an arrow were his heart should be. He caught this arrow. Ok I thought, where are these creatures being trained? I would like to be able to catch arrows. The next two times the same thing happened. Either he caught the arrow, that lucky son of Gaia, or he sliced the arrow out of thin air.

As I reached for another arrow, I felt none. Hiss, maybe he was laughing, the vile creature stopped and started at me with a slower and deliberate approach. Great, I thought, just what I need. An enemy that can think.

As he started coming I saw two things, one he had a second scythe head strapped to his belt. And second of I saw the vile that he had put in his cloak on the ground only a few feet from me. Obviously he saw it to and rushed for it, but I was quicker. One of the advantages of not having a lot of weapons strapped to me. When I grabbed it, I threw it in the ghoul's head, since there was no face, and the vile shattered.

The ghoul staggered backwards, letting of the most terrifying scream/ howl that I have ever heard. It was like a thousand cats all hissing and meowing at once. The ghoul dropped his scythe and promptly melted. I stood there for a moment, waiting for the weapon to melt into a pile of slug next to the pile for the monster. Nothing happened.

As I turned back to the archery range, I saw the big house lights come on and I saw Chiron's shadow through the window. I grabbed all the remaining arrows, what was left of them at least, and ran back to the archery range. I put the arrows back and tried to cover my tracks so it looked like another camper had heard the noise and came to find out. I ran back to the Athena cabin only to find Annabeth and Chiron standing outside of the door, talking quietly.

I snuck around back and opened the bathroom window and climbed inside. Thank the gods that no one was in here, I thought. That would have been embarrassing. I opened the door to the bathroom and made my way to my bunk, not caring if anyone saw me. Great way to make them think that I had nothing to do with it.

As I got over to my bed I put my bow back underneath the bunk and rolled over on my side. A blazing light washed over me and Annabeth came into the cabin, Chiron still waiting outside.

"Ryan," Annabeth called, "Chiron needs you outside."

"Ya, ok. I'll be there in a moment."

As I got outside I saw Chiron staring at me slowly, mouth wide open. Finally he collected himself and said, "Child, you need to come with me." With that he trotted out off to the big house.

As we got there, he brought me to a smaller room with only one chair. In the back corner there was a wheelchair. Chiron walked over to it and put his legs in the back. His two back legs disappeared and his lower body disappeared. A pair of fake human legs popped out, and a blanket covered the top half.

"Now tell me child what happened."

"Fine I had heard a noise coming from outside so I had grabbed my bow and arrows from my bunk…"

"Funny," he said, "I did not know you had arrows yet, and the one arrow we found was one that looked like an arrow from the archery range."

"Must be a coincidence."

"Must be. Continue."

"I had seen a seen him put a small vile in his cloak, and he grabbed his scythe off his back and…" I proceeded to tell Chiron what happened. When I was done I heard the sound of a leopard growing, but Chiron did not seem to hear it.

"Chiron?" He looked up at me, "I thought this camp was protected. Is it not?"

"It is Ryan, but sometimes these things do happen. One way they get in is by having an inside person in the camp that summons them. Or, this is very rare but it does happen, there is someone very powerful and can cast a spell to make the monsters seem invisible to magical defenses. Of course it only works on stronger creatures."

"What was that creature?"

"That Ryan was a torva messor. Also known as a grim reaper in modern times. Cold, ruthless creature that have no morels, not that monsters do, but they kill slowly, and painfully. They are a deadly race that does not kill at random, they are hired to do dirty work. Usually there is no evidence to the murder, or a body. You have to be very careful here Ryan, these grim reapers are not cheap."

"Why me? There are other children of Athena elsewhere!"

"Because Ryan, you are a highly trained assassin."

Athens: R&R?

Max: what does that even mean?

Athens: Read and review.

Max: fine my turn! *loads Pump Kin into a jello cannon and shoots her off into the distance.*

Athens: *puts down binoculars* 10 out of 10, lucky daughter of Gaia..."
