My heart was throbbing rapidly, as a hummingbird's wings. I felt as if I were going to faint right then and there, luckily I didn't. my ADHD had my head feeling as if it would blow up any second now, it hurt almost as bad as my leg, which naturally had to be poisoned and injured, ever seen a purple leg before? Let's just say, I have. Anyway, as cowardly as it sounds, I was kneeling next to a small cave opening. I was too bad of a position to stand without falling back down again. Being stung by giant scorpions is not exactly the best way to spend your summer, but it sure was way more exciting than sitting around watching TV all day.
It was in the evening and Annabeth and Grover were still setting up traps, since they took our packs with them, I had to wait until the traps were set to get my hands on some ambrosia. We were on a quest to find Thalia and Nico; Thalia had gone missing a week ago while exploring the woods with some of her hunter friends. Nico had gone missing 3 days later; right after Persephone had turned his hair into roses. Chiron thought both scenes were very peculiar, but Annabeth reminded him the gods throw tantrums and monsters kidnap almost every day. We got a quest on the very same day Thalia was discovered missing, so we didn't get to analyze everything like Annabeth wanted to.
Now, a week later we were still questioning gods and asked if they had anything to do with our case. I was starting to get bored and decided to try to send an empathy link to Grover, at the same time Annabeth came in and yelled "Grover's missing!". I froze but Annabeth kept on talking," we were digging a hole to catch monsters when Grover was whining, he told me he smelled monster, so I told him ignore it because he always smelled monsters underground, then when I was getting the net he disappeared!" at this time she looked s if she were about to cry. "It's not your fault" I told her quietly, but she burst into tears anyway. "Add Grover to the missing list, we've got lots to do wise-girl".
We both stood up, except I fell back down, I almost forgot about by leg. Annabeth handed me a piece of ambrosia. After I healed we headed to the nearest town, just to treat ourselves, considering all that we've lost. When we walked into a diner, the waitress smiled at us I wonder what the mist made me look like. The TV in the corner was set on the 5:00 news, and guess which half-bloods are the new celebrities, the Stolls. According to the news lady on the TV, Travis and Connor robbed 6 candy shops in just 3 days not taking money, but candy! I hoped "Sweet on America", the candy shop my mom works in, was not one of the victimized shops.
