I looked at her, unable to speak. She had changed.

"Are you gonna look at me like that all day, or are you going to say something," she asked.

"I remember now," I said, then I stopped. "You're saying I have a bad attitude when yours is worse!"

She smiled and ran up to me and hugged me. At first I was a little surprised, but then I hugged her back.

"It's good to see you again, Andy."

"It's good to see you too," she said and pulled back.

Yeah, I know, Andy sounds like a guy's name, but that's not her real name, it's just a nickname. Her real name is Andromeda Rose, she had a middle name but I forgot what it was. Andy had been to Camp Half-Blood before and was best friends with Annabeth. They had known each other for more than five years. In Februrary, she was kidnapped by Luke's men at Camp. How they could of kidnapped her, I had no idea. They tried to convince her to join there side as a 'secret weapon'. Andy wasn't like other demigods where there parent was either Athena, Demeter, or Apollo or the rest. Her mother was Artemis, the maiden goddess of the hunt, and that's why Luke wanted her.

"We don't have much time. We have to get to Camp," she said practically to herself. "Come on. We need to leave, now."

I wasn't sure if I should trust her. She could just be in a disguise and actually be an ugly monster and putting on a charade to lure me into a trap. But some part of me told me to trust her. I picked up Riptide and capped it and put it in my pocket.

"Let's go," i said.

We started walking towards the closest exit of the school.

We opend the doors and went outside and ended up in the parking lot behind the school. She started walking and I just followed her lead. She seemed confused and looked around trying to find something.

"Argus was supposed to be here and pick us up, but I don't-" she didn't finish her sentence.

"What's wrong?" I asked looking around.

"We have to get out of here," she said. She started to run and I ran after her.

"What are we running from?" I asked.

She didn't answer, she just kept on running. She payed no attention to me.

"Andy!" I shouted, "Why are we running?"

She stopped and we were at the front of the school. I know you're probably thinking Wow, they are really slow but the school is really big and it takes a while to get to the front of the school, especially if you started from the back.

I put my hands on my knees and breathed deeply.

"Again. Why are we running?"

"There's something bad here. I know it," she said looking around again.

"How do you know?"

"I can sense it," she said as she walked towards the street a few yards away. I stayed where I was. I took out my pen and uncapped it. Riptide was my hand in a giffy. I looked at my surroundings, prepared for an attack.

"Percy!" I heard inside my head. "Grover?" I said out loud. "What is it G-man?" Grover was my protector and a Satyr. He and I have this telepathy link where we can contact each other.

"You need to come to camp!" he said inside my head. "I'm trying. But Andy thinks there's a monster here," I said back.

He didn't respond. I just stood there. What was so important on getting back to Camp? What was going on?

Andy ran towards me and grabbed my hand and pulled me.

"Run, Percy, run!" she yelled.

I ran as fast as Andy was. I looked behind us and I could see why we were running for our lives. There were five hellhounds chasing after us.

"What did you do," I shouted. My legs were getting tired. We ran across the street, cars honking and braking. If only they could see through the mist and see why we were running through the street. They probably thought we were a couple being stupid since we were still holding hands.

"Less talkie, more runnie'!"

Our pace slowed and the hellhounds caught up. She let go of my hand and got out her iPod. She pushed play and her headphones became a golden braclet and the iPod became a gold sword with a dragon skin grip. It was her sword, Xphilos.

We entered some woods, a little close to camp. We dodged tree braches, our feet pounding on the dirt making little dirt clouds with each step. I looked behind me to see how close the hellhounds were to us. All of a sudden I ran into Andy and we fell and rolled down a muddy steep hill.

I coughed chunks of dirt out of my mouth. I got up, my arm hurting. Fortunatly, I didn't stab myself with Riptide. I looked around for Andy, the hellhounds would be here soon.

"Andy!" I shouted, "Where are you? Are you alright?"

There wasn't a sound.

"I'm right here. I'm okay," she said coming closer to me. There were dirt on her face, a few scratches on her cheek, and twigs and leaves in her hair. I could only imagine how I looked.

"I'm really sorry about that," I said.

There was a loud howl, really close.

"It's okay, but you're gonna be sorry if we don't make it out alive."

We started to run and the hellhounds were so close.

"Grab my hand," she said.

"What? Why?" I asked shocked. We were running for our lives and she was telling me to hold her hand? Yeah, that's not crazy at all.

"You trust me, don't you?"

I hesitated. "Yeah." i grabbed her hand.

We ran faster and we were heading straight for a boulder the size of a elephant. "We aren't gonna-"

"Yup," she said before I could even finish.

"I changed my mind. I don't trust you," I said looking behind us.

"Too late," she laughed.

I closed my eyes as we ran into the rock. Then we stopped running and everything was still. It was dark, damp, and humid. I backed up and brushed up against a stone wall. We were inside the rock. I extended my hand to find Andy and I touched something hairy. I pulled back quickly.

"That's my hair you idiot," she whispered.

"Are we in the rock?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah." I heard shuffling and clinking noises. Then a light came on. I saw Andy holding a pocket size flashlight.

"You keep a flashlight in your pocket?" I said trying not to laugh.

"Yeah. Ever since I learned how to use this power, I keep it with me all the time, just in case it's dark," she whispered.

All of a sudden there was a loud creaking. "What is th-"

"Ssshh!" she hissed.

"Well then!" I whispered.

There was shaking and vibrations through the rock. Andy gave me the flashlight and she got out Xphilos. She made a little circle in the air and then the rock opened in the same shape. She stuck Xphilos out a little bit and she tried to see the reflection. I could see her eyes widen. She signaled me to come over and look. I looked down at the sword. A hellhound was on top of the rock and three were behind it. That was four. Where was the fifth one? Then a hellhound leaped and tried to get into the rock in the little whole. Andy dropped her sword and tried to close the whole. It stuck it's paw and tried to get us. She tried once more but she only made it bigger. Soon it stuck it's head in. It's teeth huge and it was growling loud. Me and Andy backed up.

"It's okay. Just relax," I said.

She nodded and took a deep breathe. She extended her arms with her palms facing forward. I could see sparks flying, but the whole got bigger. Now instead of only it's head, his arm could fit too.

"Are you trying to let it in?" I shouted.

"Oh, Yes Percy! I wanted it to come in here so we can have a tea party!"

"Just close it!" I shouted.

She glared at me. At first I was scared she was gonna feed me to the hellhound. She put her palms forward and clapped them and the hole closed. She stepped back and stumbled, but I caught her.

"Thanks," she said tired. "I won't slap you now."

"Gee, thanks," I said.

A few minutes passed and there was complete stillness. Andy opened up a circular door and stepped out.

"They're gone. We can go now, but we have to hurry," she said. We started to jog since Camp was close.

"Why are we needed so badly at Camp," I asked. She looked at me. "It's not that we're needed, it's that we're in danger."

"When aren't we?" I snickered.

She gave me a look. "I got an Iris message from Chiron, telling me to get as much campers as I could. I got a few and I decided to come for you. Chiron said that something bad has happened and that we are in danger. More monsters have been sent by Kronos."

"Do you know what happened?"

She shook her head. "Chiron didn't say."

Finally we arrived at camp. We stood in front of Thalia's tree and entered. I guess I was staying at Camp for Spring Break.
