Okay it's my turn to tell the story! (Muffled insults) No it is fair! (Mumbled question) Because I said it is! So shut up! Alright, back to the story.

"Who are you?" He demanded. Scarlett felt the sword on her throat and gagged a little. "S-Scarlett Davis." She squeaked. Luke tightened his grip on the sword, "Fine. Scarlett Davis would you care to explain why you have been tracking us?"

"We have a little kid. He's a special! He needs your help." Scarlett explained, then flinched afraid that she had said to much. Luke thought this over for a moment. He already had Thalia and Annabeth, why get another mouth to feed? Then again, how could he refuse, a boy just like him, protection?

He dropped his weapon to his side and released the girl. Scarlett distanced herself from him, she knew his future history and wasn't sure what to expect from him. "Go. Get the boy. We will see how special he is." Luke smirked; the aura of confidence surrounded him.

Scarlett gave him a sharp nod, and turned and sprinted back to meadow. "Guys! Guys!" She screamed, almost excitedly. Mabel wiped her head around, "Shhh! You'll wake him up!" She said in a hushed tone. "Well, we need to wake him up. We have a meeting with Luke, Thalia and Annabeth." Scarlett motioned for them to get going.

"What? How did that happen?" Brielle asked. Scarlett began to explain the run in with Luke Castellan. Mabel's jaw dropped.

"Told you it wasn't a squirrel." Brielle stated. "Well you didn't say it was a psychopathic traitor ether!" Mabel yelled/whispered. Brielle bit her lip, "She kind of has a point. Maybe we should find a different way to get him to camp. We can't trust Luke." "I think we can. He could have killed me. But he didn't. He was just protecting his family." Scarlett said the last part quietly.

They all knew how betrayed Thalia and Annabeth would feel later. "Okay Scarlett. I trust you, but I will not let you wake Percy up. It looks like he hasn't sleep in days." Mabel said and began to pick Percy up.

His head rested perfectly on her shoulder and they began to walk. He stirred a little and stuck his thumb in his mouth and relaxed again. (Muffled yelling) It did so happen! (A clear 'Did not!') Did so! I'm not to fight you on this! Anyway, "Aw! That's so cute!" Scarlett cooed. "Is it really healthy for a seven year old to suck his thumb?" Mabel rolled her eyes at Brielle.

"This is the kid that is 'oh so special?'" A voice mocked. They turned their left to find Luke, Thalia and a couple of sleeping bags around a big oak tree. "Yes. Do you have a problem?" Scarlett asked, daring her to say more. Thalia walked towards them, "No. I just didn't expect him to be sucking his thumb," Mabel scowled; she had never liked Thalia even as a book character. "But oh well. Let's see what he's got."

Thalia was about to zap Percy awake when there was a, "Wait!" A messy blob of blonde hair popped out of a sleeping bag. Luke knelt down to her level, "Annabeth, your suppose to be asleep." Annabeth unzipped her sack and ran up to Mabel. "Come on. You can set him down in my bag!" She said ignoring Luke's words. Annabeth tugged Mabel towards the bag.

Luke cracked a smile at Annabeth's attitude , while Thalia looked as if she was going to blow a gasket. Scarlett wanted to point and laugh but she knew this wasn't the time. "He will show you tomorrow." Brielle offered. As Mabel put Percy into the sack, she mumbled, "Trust me you won't be disappointed."

Annabeth brushed the hair out of Percy's face. Then giggled, "Ew! He's drooling!" Mabel smiled, "Do you think he's cute?" Annabeth scrunched up her face and shook her head. (A distinct 'Hey!') Shut up! I didn't interrupt you this much! As I was saying! Luke rubbed her head, "That right. Because you're my girl, right?" Annabeth grinned brightly and nodded. Scarlett felt her heart drop.

Annabeth didn't deserve what happened. Or what's going to happen. Annabeth looked back at the boy and studied him. Suddenly she let out a big yawn and brought the other sleeping bag next to her old one. Thalia grumbled something about not sharing her sleeping bag and hit the hay.

Brielle sighed and tried to find the least dirty place you could in the woods. Mabel laid down next to the sleeping children. Scarlett found herself marching up to Luke, who was standing guard.

He heard her; she wasn't very good at sneaking up behind someone. "What is it?" He asked. Scarlett took a deep breath and made a decision, "I need you to take us to Camp-Half Blood. All of us. We need to speak to Chiron." Luke began to open his mouth but she cut him off, "And don't say you don't know where it is. I know you do." Luke cursed. How did she know that? Luke had a feeling she was hiding something.

"Fine. We will take you; it's about time we get there anyway. It's about a three day trip from here." Luke told her and Scarlett was about to thank him profusely, when he cut he cut her off with these words, "But first you have to tell me what your hiding."

Scarlett's throat closed and her hands began to sweat. He knew something was up. He had caught on.
