I have an addiction to this story. I've been writing scenes or conversations randomly on my iPod and now I put them together into this chapter. I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm really, really excited for Son of Neptune. Who read the first chapter? I'm going to put the link on my profile if you want to read it. Now, the first two POV's were written, again, while I was half asleep so they're not my best work. Also, I couldn't really channel Drew cuz she's… Drew. Also, she seems like the kind of person who would cuss a bit so… yep. Anyway, let's continue.

I own nothing. Oh gods… I DIDN'T DO THIS FOR THE OTHER CHAPTERS DID I?

Dan: No you didn't.

Me: GASP!

Dan: You just said gasp?

Me: I don't own PJO or the 39 Clues, I don't own PJO or the 39 Clues, I don't own PJO or the 39 Clues!

Dan: Wow… freak…

Me: Thank you! *sings Crush*

Dan: Umm…

Me: It's stuck in my head.

Dan: Kay…

WARNING: Loooong chapter.

Dan POV

Natalie was driving me crazy! She was bad enough when she wasn't complaining!

"I can't believe it!" she said for the millionth time.

"Well believe it." I told her.

"It's disgusting!"

"I know but just get over it! I did."

"This may be normal for a peasant but not a Kabra!"

"Natalie," I said slowly "we're in the woods. You're going to get mud on your shoes!"

She glared at me. "Why did Ian pair me with you of all people? At least your sister wouldn't have talked back."

"You know perfectly well why he paired us together." I told her "Stupid Cobra's after Amy again. What more does he want from her? He's tried to kill us multiple times and not to mention stolen Amy's heart, broken it and he still won't return it! What more does he want?"

"I think he wants his own heart back." Natalie said, rolling her eyes.

Well that confused me. "What are you talking about? You guys have hearts? Since when?"

More eye rolling. "Since before we were born, Daniel. If we didn't have hearts we wouldn't be alive."

"That's not what I meant."

"Oh, that kind of heart. Well, I don't but Ian does. He did at least. But your sister stole it." Natalie explained casually.

"I'm still confused."

"Why do I even bother?" she sighed "Ian. Loves. Amy." she said like I was some kind of idiot. "Don't bother asking him about it. He's in denial. For someone so smart, he has no common sense."

Well that changed everything. No I hated Ian in a completely different way. As soon as I wrapped my head around that, I realized something else; Lover boy's alone with Amy!

"Well... This isn't good." I noted.

"No it's not. He's going to keep being an idiot about it; making a fool of himself, but if he'd just listen-"

"Not that! Has it occurred to you that they're alone right now?" I asked Natalie.

The Cobra looked at me like Wow you're slow. "Yes, Daniel, good job! The next lesson is the sky. It's blue and-"

"Don't treat me like I'm stupid! I meant, what if your snake brother tries to kiss her or something!"

"Why do you care? She can take care of herself can't she?"

"Actually, it's Ian I'm worried about. If he gets too close she'll snap his arm like a Kit-Kat."

"Kit-Kat?" Natalie asked.

"Yeah, because, like in the commercials, it makes that cool snapping noise." I told her.

She winced. "Ouch. Well, I suppose we'll figure it out when we get back won't we?"

"We, will. Can we change the subject?"

"To what? Purple horses eating lollipops?" She asked, swaying a bit.

"Umm... Are you okay?" I asked.

"Oh yes, sir. I would love to shoot the wooden tree." then Natalie collapsed. I didn't mean to catch her but she fell right on top of me, knocking me down a hill.

It was kind of painful for a second but then the pain was numbed out and I just watched the spinning sky. When I stopped falling I couldn't see too well. I guess that was because I hit my head on the ground a few times.

I looked up right before passing out and I saw a kid in an orange shirt looking down at me.

Drew POV (Yuck...)

Yeah, so I was just flying in a chariot, pulled by a few Pegasi, perfectly normal, when a boy and a girl fall from a cliff above me and land in the chariot! They were unconscious and had little darts stuck in them. At first I thought they were dead but they seemed to be breathing.

My first thought was: I should get them back to camp.

My second thought was: Damn! That guy is hot! She's not his girlfriend is she? If she is, she won't be for long.

I flew the chariot back into camp bounds and the kids were able to get through. I'd never seen them before but they were obviously half-bloods. New comers? Can't be... They had to be at least sixteen, maybe older. They would have been claimed by now.

When I landed I saw a crowd of people around two other kids on the ground. What was with all the unconscious people appearing randomly?

As soon as I unhooked the Pegasi I had to figure out what to do with the kids. I couldn't carry them of course. We had stronger campers for that.

Having no better idea, I left them in the chariot and went to find Chiron. I found him with the crowd, helping some of the Apollo medics carry the other two into the infirmary. "Hey, Chiron," I said "I... umm... Found some other people... They, like, fell into the chariot when I was exercising the Pegasi. They might need help too."

"More? Well this is quite odd. Where are they?" he asked.

"I kind of... Like, left them there... I wasn't sure if I should move them or not."

He followed me to the stables and got some people to help take them to the infirmary.

Ian's POV

"Ooh! British accent! Hot!" I heard a girl squeal followed by soft giggles from other girls as I regained consciousness. Great, this is freshman year all over again. I thought Wait… how does she know what kind of accent I have?

"I can't wait to tell Amy!" another girl said mischiviously.

At that I had to open my eyes. I saw a bunch of girls in orange t-shirts looking at me.

"He's awake!" the first girl said.

"Where am I exactly?" I asked them.

"Camp Half-Blood of course." another girl informed me.

"Pardon?"

"Camp Half-Blood!" they all said together.

"Great… what is Camp Half-Blood?"

The girls looked at each other and smiled sympathetically. "He doesn't know." One of them whispered to the others who nodded.

"Know what?"

The girls all looked at the first girl, apparently their leader, who shook her head and they walked away.

I sat there on the cot for a moment, thinking back to what I could remember. I'm glad someone shot me. That would have been a huge mess. I thought. That's what I get for listening to that annoying voice.

You would have done fine if you just listened to me the whole time.

There you are. I was starting to think I'd gotten lucky and you were gone.

Sorry to ruin your dreams. Speaking of which-

I don't know what those girls heard.

Well they're going to tell Amy whatever it was.

God, this could be embarrassing.

So maybe you should do something about it?

For once, I agree with you.

If only we agreed more often, we'd get along so much better.

Yeah, you should agree with sometimes.

I blocked out that insane half of me before he (or she… I wasn't sure) could comment and stood up to figure out where exactly this place was.

When I left the room, which appeared to be an infirmary, I walked into a larger room. There were the girls from before and they were talking to Amy.

"I know he's sorry but that doesn't- oh, h-hi I-I-Ian..." Amy said.

"Hello, love." I replied, smiling at her.

"Aww!" the girls whispered. They whispered a while before deciding to leave. Wow they were weird.

"What was that about?" I asked Amy.

"D-don't call m-m-me that! H-have y-y-you ever thought w-what other p-p-people think w-when y-you c-call me l-l-love? To us i-it's j-j-just an annoying joke b-but they d-don't know that."

"So they think that-"

"Y-you l-like me. I'll have t-t-to explain l-later about th-the nickname…"

You're lucky. You just got another chance. Say it!

Shut it. Even if it was true I don't think I'd tell her. Hypothetically.

Of course. I wouldn't expect you to actually accept the truth. That would be a sign of apocalypse.

Exactly! Anyway, I would screw it up anyway.

Want to bet?

Loser has to listen to the winner for the rest of the day?

You're on!

It's quite amazing how that battle went on in a matter of seconds in my mind, yet I didn't think threw what I was about to do.

~~~~~~~After the conversation because I didn't remember to type it~~~~~~~

Amy looked at me in shock and shook her head. "No… I-I don't… y-y-you…" with that she ran outside.

Ha! I win!

Yes you did. But you also lost.

What- oh no… what did you make me do?

I took advantage of your competitive nature. Now, I must listen to you but you lost Amy.

So? I don't-

I know, you don't care. That's cool. But I think you're going to realize that you'll miss my advice.

No I won't.

Okay, okay.

I can get used to this.

The problem with this? I did care about Amy. A lot. But I was convinced that I was right.

Yet, for some reason, I still had to run after her.

Run after her, right into someone.

"Dude, where's the fire?" the guy asked "Seriously, did the Hephaestus kids set something on fire again?"

Hephaestus? "No, no fire, I just- did you see a girl? Her name is Amy, red hair, jade eyes? About this tall," I showed him how tall Amy was with my hand "I… kind of need to find her."

The boy smirked. "Girls. I get it. Yeah, she went over towards the forest. Make sure to take a sword or something. You'll need it."

"Thanks…" I said/asked, confused what he meant about the sword.

"You're the new guy right? I'm Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon. You?"

"Umm… Ian Kabra, son of Vikram?" This guy was confusing me.

"Undetermined? Another one… well good luck with Amy. She didn't exactly look happy." Percy told me.

I nodded and resumed running towards the forest.

I was about to go in when someone stopped me. "You might want a weapon in there." they said. I turned to see the strongest looking girl I've ever seen. She was taller than me and looked like she could easily beat me up.

"Why?" This place was creeping me out with all their talk of weapons. And I thought Natalie liked weapons.

"Umm… monsters, duh!" she said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Monsters…" I repeated slowly.

"Yes, genius. That's where we keep 'em." the girl said. "Oh, wait. You're new aren't you?" the girl smirked and picked up a sword that was lying on the ground "Take this. Have fun."

For some reason, I got the feeling I wasn't going to have fun.

"Thanks?" I said, sounding more like a question.

"You can thank me if you come back." she said laughing.

I wasn't so sure about the forest anymore. Did they give Amy a weapon?

I'd tell you what to do but… a bet is a bet.

You knew this would happen!

So? I know these things.

But… you're my conscience… how do you know things I don't.

I never said I was your conscience.

Then… who are you?

You'll find out in due time, Ian.

You got that from a fortune cookie.

Maybe I invented fortune cookies.

Why are we talking about cookies when Amy could be getting eaten?

You tell me.

I sighed. Annoying voice.

Fine, I give up. You tell me how to save Amy and you don't have to listen to me.

I didn't have to listen to you before. I was playing along.

Just tell me what to do!

I don't know how, but I swear the voice sighed in surrender.

Fine. Oh the things I help you do for love!

Again with the love thing!

You sound like Amy now.

I sighed and went into the forest.

"Amy?" I asked, holding the sword up in front of me. It was kind of heavy but it not too heavy. I hoped I'd be able to use it.

"AMY?" I shouted. I heard a growl. Defiantly not Amy.

I turned around see a weird lizard type thing, about thirty meters tall, with at least seven heads. And all the heads were spitting acid.

I may have said a word or two that my parents wouldn't have approved of but I thought much worse.

Don't talk like that. It's not pretty.

Well are you going to help me?

I shouldn't have to. I thought you meant help you with the girl. I'll be useless here. Our lot wasn't made for fighting. Just do what you think is right.

So I ran. Come on, seven heads spitting acid! Tell me you wouldn't run as well.

Eventually I lost it. Either that or it didn't bother coming after me and I'd just wasted my energy for no reason.

So I continued the Amy search. "AMY!"

I heard movement in a nearby bush. I raised the sword, hoping to be somewhat prepared this time. But instead of another monster an Amy stuck her head out of the bush.

"I-I-Ian?" she asked "Oh thank God!" she jumped out of the bush and ran over to hug me. Wow she must've been scared.

"There you are, love. I was worried." I whispered in her ear, pulling her closer. I could feel her heart racing in her chest.

"W-why?" she asked.

This is where I come in-

Not the time!

"Well because there are... things in here. Wouldn't want you to get eaten would we?" I explained.

"W-w-why would y-you c-care?"

"Because I wouldn't wish such a gruesome death on my worst enemy, let alone you." I told her.

"What's s-so s-s-special about m-me?"

"Well, for one thing, you've done nothing to deserve it. And another, because I like you." I told her. Amy's eyes widened and she blushed. I realized what I'd said and blushed too "N-no not like that... Like... I don't hate you kind of like... I really need to think my words through…"

She nodded. "R-right. That m-makes s-sense. Kind of..."

Where did you get your speaking skills? Your parents surly taught you much better.

Shut up.

"I'm sorry. Just forget I said anything. Let's-" Amy's eyes widened "That giant lizard thing is behind me again isn't it?" I asked. Amy nodded.

I turned round just in time to see one of its giant heads coming towards me. At the last second I pushed Amy behind me and put the sword out just in time to cut off the head.

The head fell to the ground and turned to dust. It would have been awesome if there hadn't been eight other heads in front of me. So we started running. This time it actually followed.

"What the hell? I just killed one! How is it-"

"I-I-Ian, it's a h-h-hydra. I r-read about them. Cut off one h-head and t-t-two more g-grow back." Amy explained.

"Great. First time fighting a monster and we get the only living creature that doesn't die what you cut its head off."

"A-actually earthworms d-don't-"

"Amy, not the time. In the book how was it killed?"

"They had M-Medusa's h-h-head. I d-d-don't s-suppose you have that i-in y-y-your p-p-pocket?"

"That's just brilliant. The only way to kill this thing is with the head of something that doesn't exist."

"That thing shouldn't exist!" Amy yelled, starting to panic.

"Calm down, love. We'll get out of this." I think. I added silently.

"How?"

I had an idea. But I didn't like it. Not one bit.

I reached into my pocket. I couldn't believe that I had a dart still there. I pulled it out and showed Amy.

Amy grinned. "Perfect!"

"There's one problem." I said "One of us will have to distract it."

"That's a problem?" she asked.

"Yes! If the distraction messes up, they could get killed! It's too risky!"

Amy thought for a minute. "You're sneakier. You can go shoot it, I'll distract it."

"No! I'm not going to let you die!" I said, suddenly feeling protective.

"D-don't worry, I'll be f-f-fine."

"You don't know that! It's better if I do it."

"Why? So you can die?"

"Better me than you! I'm going. Here, make sure you hit a weaker spot, love."

"But-"

"Amy, I've made up my mind. Go."

She walked away, muttering about how I'm going to get myself killed. Even if I am, better me than her.

That's the spirit! The hero dying to save the girl. Always romantic!

Not helping! Just be quiet for now.

Whatever.

Amy and I stopped running. So did the monster behind us.

It kept growling and hissing at us. I nodded at Amy. "Good luck." I mouthed.

She nodded "You too"

"Hey!" I shouted, raising the sword "Over here!"

It kept making its weird noises at me. Then it started spitting.

The bright side: the creature was distracted and Amy was close to hitting it.

The dark side: it got my arm.

And it hurt like hell. The acid got through my shirt pretty easily and started eating at my skin. I'll spare you the rest.

"Ian!" Amy screamed. That was her mistake. The all of the Hydra's heads turned on Amy.

Okay, I had like another three pages written out then I thought "Hey! That bit there (meaning the part right under that last line) would be a good chapter beginning!" So I copied it to another document and left this as it is. Also, I probably shouldn't write Amy's POV (which is what the next part was) because I was watching charlieissocoollike's videos, now I'm listening to Mika's songs and I just finished writing Ian's POV so that makes my mind think with a British accent. Am I the only one who that happens to? Whenever I listen to music/watch videos/watch movies/read books about people with a different accent than me my mind thinks with that accent.

Anyhow, enough about my twisted mind. Interview time!

Annabeth: Can I leave? I wasn't in this chapter.

Me: I guess. Dan, Natalie, you two can leave as well.

Dan: But Amy's my ride home!

Natalie: And Ian's mine.

Me: Annabeth, take them home.

Percy: I wasn't in it either! Can I go?

Me: You were!

Percy: For like three seconds!

Me: It was an important role.

Percy: Whatever. *kisses Annabeth goodbye*

Dan: Gross!

Audience, Me, Amy and Natalie: Aww!

Ian: ...

Me: Bye guys! Ian! Don't go all mute on us again!

*Annabeth, Dan and Natalie leave*

Ian: That wasn't my fault! Your idiot director glued my mouth shut!

Amy: Well you obviously let him.

Ian: I didn't! I don't even know how he did it…

Percy: Well I haven't known you too long but I think I know why he did it.

Amy: Finally! Someone agrees.

Me: I think everyone agrees.

Ian: I'm right here you know!

Me: Oh, hi! What did you think of my chapter?

Ian: Why did I have to get burned?

Amy: You offered.

Ian: I wasn't thinking…

Percy: When you're fighting monsters, you're not supposed to think!

Amy: Oh good, Dan will be great at it!

Ian: I second that.

Me: You agreed!

Audience: *claps*

Amy and Ian: …

Me: Anyway, Amy?

Amy: We are going to live right?

Me: Unless y'all bug me. If you do, I can easily kill Ian off. Amy as well.

Percy: What about me?

Me: I can find something if you really want to die…

Percy: No, no! I do think I know what Ian's voice is though.

Me: Shh! No spoilers!

Director dude: CUT!

BTW: Can any of you can figure out what Ian's voice is? I just got the idea this chapter so I put a few hints. It will also tell you a lot about why him and Natalie can get into Camp. Amy and Dan are special. If any of you can figure them out, I will be really impressed.
