I'm SOSOSOSO Sorry! I cant update faster than this. Oh I"m so embarrased. I didn't know college would take so much from me...

Anyways, I'll try to update sooner rather than later, mkay?

here's another chappie :)

Everyone was all and ready by noontime the next morning. We had decided to ride out into the city and discuss what we wanted to do there. Malcolm said it was easier that of the pressuring eyes of the campers.

I still haven't told the others about my dream.

I had Argus had drop us off Central Park against the bewildering looks upon my companions faces. I led Piper, Katie,Travis, Malcolm, and Nico into one of the park benches where I used to sit by when I walk into the park.

"So... What's our plan?" Katie asked as we set down our packs, which were getting us many stares from the people in the park.

I looked around. "Let's make this quick." I said to them "The park's making me jittery." I said as I eyed a mysterious fat lady with a little dog at one side of the park.

"Well, we don't really have a main destination yet, do we?" Malcolm asked.

I shook my head. "Not necessarily." I said, then telling them about my dream in hushed whispers.

When I had finished, they were all in total shock. Katie was the one who recovered first.

"Iapetus." She said, clearly deep in thought.

Malcolm was in the same wavelength as hers. "He was one of the twelve titans and father of Menotious, Atlas and Prometheus. He was convicted into staying at Tartarus with the other monsters, somehow, he had come out."

Nico was thoughtful. "Bob." He just said. "How on earth...Minos." He muttered. "That's it! Minos restored back his memories. It was one of the few things he could do. Aside from being a permanent jerk and keeping people insane."

"Well, that explains a lot." I said. "Now, Mount Tam."

The others nodded in agreement.

"That's ourn primary destination. " Travis said.

Malcolm stopped the others. "Wait! We need to plan this carefully." he said. "Mount Tam is not the safest place for demigods."

"Aren't all?" Piper asked.

"Point taken. But Mount Tamalpais is where the Garden of the Hesperides is." Malcolm said, earning the agreeing nod of Travis.

"You know this?" Katie asked.

Travis shrugged. "It's where Luke went on his first used to tell us that as a campfire story when we were younger. "

Malcolm nodded once more. " It was well as the site where Mount Othrys is being rebuilt by the Titans as a war base during the Battle of Manhattan " He said. "That's where Jason said they were there during the war and that's where he battled Krios."

Silence as we all processed this. Malcolm apparently was still preoccupied with his thoughts and continued to blurt out facts that he was thinking.

"Mount Tamalpais is named the Mountain of Despair and happens to also be the sight where Atlas holds up the sky. Both ordinary mist and Mist are very thick on the mountain. Many monsters are attracted to it. Which makes that very dangerous to us Halfbloods. "

I diverted my attention. All this trivia was reminding me of how Annabeth used to do that.

"We have to be really careful. As Percy said, we outnumber them at this point. The two of them against us, not to mention Annabeth. So here is what we are gonna do." He started to take a map of the area and then pointed the scheme to us.

I notice the fat lady again. This time, she decided that she was going to be rude. She stared at our group directly as she began petting her little dog, which oddly enough, was also staring at us. Something definitely looked familiar with that.

Then the dog charge at our direction.

"Grab the bags and run!" I said, bringing out the Riptide out of it's pen-state.

The little dog transformed into the Chimera and bounded to our direction. It's venomous snake tail hissing violently side to side.

Thankfully the others listened to me. They had all scattered and hid among the trees. Fortunate for them, Unfortunate for me. I was all alone.

"We meet again, Son of Poseidon." Echidna hissed, as the Chimera lunged me. I backed up.

the chimera lunged, and I swung my sword. The monster dropped it's stance, but it continued to attack.

"Face it, there's no way you can beat me again."Echidna hissed. "Iapetus will succeed this time little demigod."

I fought her monster back. "What do you want with him. He doesn't even care about you!"

"I really don't care about him either. I just want to see you little demigods be crushed one by one." She said. "Starting with your little blonde girlfriend"

The chimera launched again and then hit me square into the chest. the next thing I knew was I was submerged into the turtle pond, water naiads floating around me.

"Help me." I pleaded but they swam away so I willed the currents to wrap around the monster, which twirled and jerked for the lack of air. I continued it until it exploded into dust.

I checked myself for injuries when I remembered I was invincible. Oh. And the fact that I was in the water had taken account to me.

Then A cold claw went into my heart. I just want to see you little demigods be crushed one by one...Starting with your little blonde girlfriend

I had to save her. I just have to. I thought. If it wasn't for those stupid monsters.

I was already pissed. I knew that I had to go and rescue her now.

I yelled underwater. I didnt care if the naiads would be pissed by me too but I had to let it out somehow. I had to or I felt like I'd bust out.

Everyone was staring at me as I resurfaced through the waters, my clothes all ripped but not a single scratch through me.

"Come on Guys..." I said as I shouldered my own pack which was beside Travis. "We need to get to Mount Tam in time.

Thanks so much for understanding. Did I do good? I knew I did bad... No lies/ *sighs*

I'm trying to do my best y'all. Review so I can get better. :)
