Well, chapter six! Sorry I didn't post it like I promised, but here it is now. Back to Rylan's POV. Enjoy!

RYLAN

No one spoke after the prophecy. I could even hear a drop of water dropping onto the table. Rachel broke the silence by groaning and bending over. She shook her head and blinked several times.

"What happened?" she asked. No one replied. She looked around at us and her face fell. She could probably tell from our expressions that we just got a new major problem to worry about—a prophecy.

"Well—" Annabeth was interrupted by a scream at the top of the hill. We all turned pretty fast to the direction of the sound, alarmed by the prophecy. Chiron frowned.

"New camper," he said. There was another unearthly scream and a loud roar following behind. A huge drakon the size of a skyscraper rose up.

"And they need help," Chiron added. Everyone ditched their breakfast and ran to the armory. I grabbed up a random sword that felt extremely unbalanced and raced towards the top of the hill.

"It's a drakon! We can't kill it. Just get the half-bloods and the satyr over the property line!" shouted Annabeth.

Most people were there already. They were hauling something over the property line, a screaming, struggling something.

"Miiiiikkeeee!" screamed the girl they were carrying. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw something behind me. I turned around and watched in horror as the drakon snatched a little boy up, not to mention that he was also screaming and struggling. A satyr threw his club at the drakon desperately. It just bounced off the drakon. Chiron fired arrow after arrow with my siblings next to him, all doing the same. Some found a chink in the drakon's armor, causing it to growl a bit but most shattered or fell to the ground.

"Chrys!" shouted Grover, who just appeared at the property line. The satyr looked at Grover with eyes full of despair and tears.

"Come on and get over the line, you can't do anything about the other demigod now," Grover said. I knew that Grover understood what it felt like when a demigod you were leading died on the hill (or a bit under the hill) and you didn't save them. The drakon swallowed the little boy and just left, apparently satisfied with it's snack.

"No! No! NO! NO! NO! MIKE! NO!" The girl screamed and struggled even more. Then she just gave up and sobbed freely. They carried the girl to the infirmary and the sound of her sobs died. Chiron galloped after them but before that he shouted: "Everyone back to normal life!" As if life was ever normal for us.

I trudged back to the armory to set down my sword. I did all my usual activities with my cabin. I hated archery. You might wanna ask why an Apollo camper would hate archery. It was because I sucked like hell at it. The others kept sniggering during archery at my awesome skills. Around lunch, Reyna told Annabeth and Percy about a demigod they met. And so, Percy left with Grover and Clarisse (why Clarisse, idk). I played volleyball in the afternoon with some Ares campers. They kicked me out 'cause I was "too puny" for their liking. I just shrugged and headed to the infirmary to see if I could help with anything. There wasn't really anything I could do so I just sat down outside the Big House. So many surprises for one day, I thought. I didn't think there could be more. And naturally, I was wrong.

I held hands with Drew at the edge of the forest, enjoying our personal time. She had pink eyeliner on this time. And suddenly…ROAR! I jumped back from the forest. Drew backed away, alarm in her wide eyes. I tensed for some monster to jump out at us but then I realized that it came from the other side of Half-Blood Hill. I watched as something green and scaly rose high up. I cursed.

"Stupid drakon," I muttered.

I just picked up a shield on the ground and sprinted for the top of the hill. I heard someone yell "Percy!" and Annabeth heard it too. Her eyes widened and she sprinted for the hill too.

When I reached the top of the hill, my blood ran cold. I saw Percy paralyzed in fear, his sword hanging at his side, just staring up at the drakon. Annabeth yelled at the drakon desperately. Uh-oh, I thought. The death of the mighty Percy Jackson was about to happen any second. The drakon opened it's mouth to swallow him when suddenly a knife appeared in it's eye. It reared back up and Percy unfroze. That's when I noticed the girl next to the pine tree. Probably the new demigod Percy had gone to fetch. She's got good aim, I thought, a bit bitterly. Maybe my sister.

She glanced at us and the drakon's tail appeared out of nowhere. It slammed straight into her and she flew backwards a good 15 feet. Ouch, I thought. Another dead demigod and I didn't do anything to save either of them. Percy ran towards the girl and lifted her up. The drakon was right behind him. There was no way he would make it over the property line. So I threw my shield with all my might (which isn't a lot) like a Frisbee at the drakon. It struck the drakon but didn't hurt it. Even so, the drakon just paused for a second and growled but it was just enough time for Percy and the girl who was now unconscious to make it over the line. They tumbled down the hill in a heap and Percy managed to get up, with some scratches but mostly unscathed. The girl however, was a mess.

I scooped her up—she was surprisingly light and put her in one of the infirmary beds. Reyna, Frank and Hazel were still recovering in their beds. It was slow recover-ment even with nectar, what with their wounds. Will Solace came over and he started working on the new girl.

"Tsk-tsk," he said. I glanced at him.

"Insides wrecked," he muttered to himself, "Probably got a hit from the drakon. Well, here goes." Will put his hands on the girl's stomach and began chanting in Ancient Greek. Beads of sweat appeared on his face and Nico appeared next to him.

"Ambrosia," he offered. I think I forgot to mention, but Nico and Will were getting pretty close after the Giant War, or whatever you call the war with Gaia. Will took the ambrosia gratefully and swallowed all of it.

After another ten minutes of chanting with help from me (yay, I'm finally useful), Will straightened up wiped his sweat.

"Fixed," he announced. He glanced at the girl's face. "She just needs some nectar and a good shower now." Will left with Nico for his own "monthly check-up", which I figured was more like a monthly date. I was left alone with the girl. So, nectar. I got a spoonful of it and dribbled some of it into the girl's mouth. The color returned to her face pretty quickly and her eyes fluttered open.

"Drakon!" she gasped. "Drakon…where…Percy…" She bolted up and looked around frantically.

"Hey, calm down," I said, leaning against the wall. "There's no drakon here."

The girl calmed down a bit and leaned against her pillow. "Where am I?"

"The infirmary," I said, "You got knocked unconscious."

"Oh," she said. "Oh my gods, I had a horrible dream. I was first attacked by a Cyclops and then this guy called Percy just saved me and killed it. He told me that I'm a child of a god. Then I was like, what the heck?"

I just listened to her "dream", amused.

"Later we were going to this place safe for us and then the cab broke down. We walked for a long time and then this drakon appeared. I must be crazy to dream up something called a drakon. And it seemed so real," she finished.

She took a deep breath and seemed to just focus on me. "Hi, who are you?"

"I'm Rylan," I said. I held out my hand and she shook it.

"Hi, I'm Sam," she said. "Short for Samantha, but don't call me that," she added.

Sam was actually really pretty. She had warm brown eyes and choppy chocolate brown hair up to the middle of her back. She looked like a mixture of Asian and white, so her skin color was light and she had big eyes. When I looked at her eyes again, they changed color. It was so mesmerizing that I didn't hear Percy and Annabeth come in.

Right, so here's a hint about who's Sam's godly parent. Read the next chapter to find out!
