I sat in the Camp van, plucking idly at my acoustic guitar. I hummed tunes under my breath and even sang a few.

Lee sat behind me, playing on an "iPod".

The van pulled to a stop in front of an abandoned mansion. I could sense the monster lurking within its crumbling walls. Not particularly ancient but old enough.

We began to get ready. I slid on fingerless leather gloves, tied my hair back and laced my boots tight. Adjusting my bow and quiver on my back and tightening my sword on my waist, I swung the door open.

A blast of cold air hit us as we walked to the gate. I heard the van pull away.

"Ready?" Lee asked, shivering.

"As ever." My ripped jean pants made it cold as my knees were bared to the snow. We zipped our jackets up simultaneously .

I kicked the gate open and it creaked open slowly, painfully slow.

We busted through the doors and the creature's presence hit me like the cold.

"The basement. It's in the basement." I said. He nodded and followed me trying to navigate my through the giant house.

Finally, we found it. It looked as though it used to be mahogany and grand. Now it was splintered and hideous.

"Ready?" I asked.

"As ever." He nodded.

I turned the door knob and I heard the creature shift.

"Four legs." We notched our arrows and swung the door open

The Chimera tackled Lee. I screamed a Greek curse. It turned to me.

I seen Lee's body, torn and bloody. His eyes were already swelling.

Before I could think, I let go of the arrow. It hit the thing in the eye, blinding it. I pulled my sword and jumped on it. I heard the bronze sink in to iron muscle. Green ichor covered the floor and myself and the Chimera disappeared.

I ran to Lee, and he groaned in pain. I murmured words of ancient healing, praying to the gods.

His once swollen eyes, fluttered open. They were the color of the sky; flecked with sapphire and aquamarine. Like his father's. He shoved golden blonde hair from those eyes. Before he thanked me, I took out a flip open cellular phone. I pressed 2 and Chiron answered.

"Its done"

"On our way."

"Get your best healers ready. Lee's got some injuries."

"Okay"

"Thank you."

"Thank you, Miss Harris" And the centaur was gone. I carried Lee to the now-waiting van.

And I prayed for quick travel.
