"Um." Luke raised an eyebrow. "Go on." Scarlett hesitated. She definitely couldn't tell him the truth. So what the heck was she supposed to say? "Oh my, look at the time," she said looking at her wrist where there was no actual watch. "I really must be going." she got as far as one step away before Luke grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards him. "oh no you don't." He stared intently at her. "Tell me."

"Why do you care?" she shot at him. "I'm not going to risk anything happening to Annabeth and Thalia." For now. "Well we're not a danger to you. I promise." Luke stared at Scarlett for a moment before letting go of her arm. "You will tell me eventually," he said. "Sure, sure," she replied dismissively. Like that was ever gonna happen.

She yawned, discovering how tired she actually was. Luke smirked. "Better get some rest," he said and she walked back over to the small circle of sleeping demigods. Scarlett laid down in Luke's sleeping bag just to spite him. Now he can sleep on the ground.

Percy woke to a gentle nudge and opened his eyes to see a strange girl with blonde hair and grey eyes, staring down at him. "Rise and shine," she chirped happily. "Who are you?" he asked wearily. "I'm Annabeth chase," she informed and then indicated to two teenagers standing behind her. "That's Thalia Grace and Luke Castellan."

Percy sat up in his sleeping bag and looked around, finally seeing Brielle, Scarlett, and Mabel, there too. He got up and walked over to Mabel and she ruffled his hair. "Where are we?" he asked, a little apprehensive of there new traveling buddies.

Mabel smiled down at him. "We're in the woods by the hill. Luke Thalia, and Annabeth are gonna take us to camp half-blood. They just wanna see you demonstrate your abilities first. Is that okay?" Percy nodded, turning back to their new "friends".

Thalia took a sip from her water bottle and scoffed. "What makes him so special? He looks like he could barely hold a sword straight." Percy got mad at her assumptions of him and held his hand out, palm facing Thalia, and squeezed his eyes shut. Water shot out from her water bottle and nailed her right in the face.

Percy smiled triumphantly as the three girls behind him snickered. Annabeth and Luke looked both impressed and slightly irritated, not finding the humor in Thalia being squirted with water. Apparently Thalia didn't see the humor either because the next second, her hand shot out and Percy was zapped with electricity.

Percy stumbled back a bit, looking dazed. "Hey!" Mabel shouted. "Not cool! Percy didn't hurt you!" she wasn't listening. Neither was Percy. When his eyes re focused he shot out his hand squirting more water at Thalia, with more force.

It looked painful.

They were in an all-out battle. "Well this is just great," said Brielle sarcastically. "Water plus electricity equals Percy and Thalia getting their brains fried." Luke finally decided it had gone on for too long and grabbed Thalia and Percy and held them apart in separate arms. "Your done," he said with finality and let go of both of them, which led to them falling on their butts. "I so won," Thalia stated as her and Percy got to their feet.

"Yeah right," Mabel said defending him. "Percy could easily beat you! He was just going easy so he wouldn't hurt you." That was a complete lie. (Mumbled yelling) There is no way you could have beat her. Just admit it! (Mumbled complaining) Enough! "Oh please. I'm a daughter of Zeus." "Zeus you!"

Brielle put her hand up. "Okay, okay, stop fighting before Scarlett breaks out the purple umbrella and beats all of you." "Really? You couldn't just let that go?" Scarlett asked unimpressed. Annabeth raised an eyebrow. "Purple umbrella?" Brielle laughed. "She tried to fight a monster with one."

Luke smirked. "Hey, it was my first time fighting a monster! And I didn't have a sword!" Annabeth frowned. "You guys don't have swords? How are you supposed to fight monsters?" "You're lucky we have extra," Thalia said. "Truce?" Percy asked. "For now," Thalia replied.

"We better get going," Luke stated heading over to his sleeping bag and started rolling it up. Brielle muttered under her breath so only Scarlett could hear, "And that's how you stop a fight." Scarlett had to admit, that was the most impressive thing all morning.

Everyone started packing up and Mabel, Scarlett, and Brielle, picked out swords from a duffel bag to use for the time being. Percy was helping Annabeth pack up her things and they were talking quietly. They were really adorable. When everything was done, the seven half-bloods started out of the woods.

They walked for a little while before Annabeth spoke up. "Can we stop somewhere to eat?" she asked stomach growling. Everyone agreed and they were soon sitting at a large booth in the Waffle House. They ordered and ate their meals, talking little to none. After they all finished they pooled their money and Luke went up to pay. He sat at the bar waiting for what seemed like eternity while the cashier was being chatted up by some girl.

The man that was sitting next to him suddenly stood up and made a dash to the bathroom. He left his car keys sitting at the bar. The son of the god of thieves, smirked.

"Hey, I got us a ride," Luke said walking back to the table. "But still, who the heck puts ice in milk?" That was the conversation he came back to. "You got us a ride?" Percy asked. "Yeah but we need to leave. Now," Luke replied looking over his shoulder. "Hurry."

In the parking lot Thalia kept pressing the unlock button on the thing on the keychain. Finally one of the car's lights flashed and they headed over towards it. It was a big SUV that fit seven passengers. Sheer luck. "I am so driving," Thalia said hopping in the drivers seat. "We are so gonna die," Brielle said and Scarlett smirked. "We should take turns driving," she added." "I call second!" Mabel shouted. After everyone was in the car, Thalia started it up and turned on the radio.
