A/N Hey guys! Sorry for all the confusion with me changing around the first and second chapters. I have changed the story line a bit than what I had originally intended.

Yadah yadah I know I don't own it quit rubbing it in my face.

"We need to get moving. We can't stay still very much or else monsters will come searching." Nick said looking around carefully. He had said it would be no problem, but protecting three demi-gods is harder than it looks, especially with one being as powerful as Blake, and as untrained as Blake.

"Do you have any water?" Ellie croaked as the four of them stood up. They had intended for this mission to be a hit-and-run and be back to Camp for dinner, so they hadn't prepared for anything.

Luckily, Nick had had two CamelBaks for him and Blake. They would have to refill a lot more, but the pack could hold a decent amount of water. Blake handed one of his straws to Callie and Nick handed his to Ellie. After the four of them had had enough to quench their parched throats, they continued on down the path.

Although they had water, they lacked greatly in everything else. Ellie had her bow and Callie had a dagger, but other than that no weapons. They had nothing to keep them warm at night, and a fire would be like setting up a flare to monsters nearby. Not to mention food. All they literally had was the clothes on their back.

The four wearily trudged on and on. The end never seemed any closer. The path was wide enough for them to walk three abreast, so Callie, Nick, and Blake all walked side by side. Ellie led Simba by his halter right behind them, joining in the conversation every once in a while but mainly remaining silent.

By dusk the quad was desperately seeking food and shelter. Blake feared that his stomach's cries of anger could be heard miles away. That all wouldn't be terribly bad, if it weren't for the fact that they had been walking all day; their legs threatened to give out from under them.

As the sun slowly started to fade they came across a fork in the road. "Well this is just great," Nick said in exasperation. Callie and Blake looked down the path to the right and Nick and Ellie peered down the road to the left.

"I think we should go to the left," Ellie finally said looking back at the others. Blake and Nick mumbled their agreement and they started off down the left. They were about twenty steps down when they realized Callie wasn't with them. The three turned back around.

"Callie, come on." Ellie beckoned.

"I have this feeling we should go down the right path…" Callie said lost in thought.

"Why?" Nick asked as they walked back to her.

"I don't know…I just have this feeling." Callie replied.

"Why should we go on just a feeling? Besides we've been walking in the dirt all day and this way is paved." Ellie replied.

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Callie said quoting from the famous poem, "The Road Not Taken". Being a daughter of Athena made works of literature, such as poetry, very important.

"Your point being?" Ellie retorted. She didn't care about some meaningless (in her mind) poetry. She wanted to walk on the cement and that was final.

"I'm going to have to agree with Ellie…" Blake nervously said.

"Callie…I'm going to have to agree with them. And we have to stay together." Nick said hoping Callie would just agree to come with them.

Callie frowned then puffed up her chest in pride before walking down the path to the left. The others looked at each other for a minute before following her. After walking for about an hour they decided they need to bed down. The sun had already set and it was growing cold. Plus, their legs were screaming at them for all the work they had been put through.

On the side of the road was a small patch of grass before the corn. They didn't have anything to sleep on or keep warm so they huddled in a group on the grass. Since they were all so tired, they all fell asleep within seconds. Without leaving a guard.

They awoke to cold steel on their necks and sly laughter. Callie let a scream of terror escape her mouth. "Good morning fools," The teen who held the sword to Blake's neck said with a snide grin.

A/N Sorry it took me so long! DX I'm awful. And then I wrote it so short…I'm sorry. Can you guys give me some ideas?
