Shadow travel takes a bit of time since I'm traveling from the Underworld to Long Island, but I made it back just in time for lunch. Though I don't really like eating in a general area, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, sits with me at my dads table.

I stare down at my food."Percy, I appreciate what your doing, but isn't this against the rules?"

"Well, let's just say I'm lucky that Mr.D isn't here," Percy laughs.

Every one at camp knows about him, not because he has blue eyes, blond hair or that he is sixteen. Well maybe that part. Not only is he the son of Poseidon, he saved the world countless times.

I pause and remind my self why I'm here. "So, have you had any claimes recently?" I ask.

"A lot! Some new half bloods popping out here and there! Mr.D has some new kids, Apollo, Aphrodite, you name it! Why?" Percy asks.

I think for a second, what would separate Bella from everyone else?

"Oh just wondering." I look at him and ask," Go on any rescue missions? Like saving a boy and girl from a lady serpent?"

"Nico, what's going on with all these weird questions? Are you ok?" Percy asks.

Should I tell him? It will just be so weird! Although he might understand, after all he went through all the girl trouble, also he some how got the girl. All right.

" There's this girl I met, alright? I met her in the Underworld-"

"Nice place to meet," Percy says.

"-and like most people she was dead. I convinced my dad to let her go back here in the real world. I don't know, since the Titan war there were a lot of people of, visiting, there but she seemed to put some life there. The way she similes makes me feel weird, but in a good way. She told me that she was on her way here and told me that she and a boy was fighting a serpent lady-"

"Dracaenae"

"-right, and got knocked out. All I know about her is that her name is Bella, the guy she was traveling with is Alex, she has black hair and blue eyes, she's 13. I don't know what happened to her. I'm sure she's talking about this place, she said she was on her way to a special camp with half-bloods! So do you have a Bella that fits the description?"

"Ok, let me think. No sorry dude, I wish I knew this girl. Listen, I know it will be weird for you but ask around. Who knows, a person here might know her." Percy says.

"I hope I can," I mutter.

I wander around Camp Half-Blood. A few people actually come up to me and say "Hi!" If my dad knew about the real reason I'm here, I'd probably spend a few weeks stuck in the prison cell. Gee, I'd hate to see him go all god-

"Ouch!"

I bump into the camps oracle, Rachel.

"Oh, hey Nico! What's up? I've been hearing you've been looking for a girl, so where is this lucky one?" Rachel says.

"That's the problem. I can't find her. She said that she'd come here. A special camp for Half-bloods. I've asked around but none of them heard of her. She is traveling with, a boy and are you ok? You seem a bit pale?" I ask.

" Yeah im fine. You have some blood on your- ugh." Rachel swooned as two campers rushed to save her. A third ran and grabbed a three-legged stool. Appenently they've been trained for this. As the campers help her on the stool her eyes remain close until they opened with glowing eyes and a green smoke curls out of her mouth. Campers come closer, they all mutter about a new quest and prophecy. The green smoke sounds ancient, like a snake.

The Sea, Eagle, and Death must bare the Titans wrath,

And form a trinity that will walk a time ridden path

The Eagle must break men's aspect of being

In the end, most will not find it so pleasing

Every one is in awe. Once she said Death. I'm sure she ment me. The Sea might be Percy. I have no idea what the Eagle is. For some reason, Rachel is still in her oracle form. She grabs me and moans "Where are they?! Where are they. . . Find them, find them!"

She returns back to normal. If it was possible more people are drooling like a St. Bernard. "Rachel are you ok? Who should I find that's so important?"

"Hm? Oh I don't know what your talking about. I must of recited a prophecy. When I do, I don't know who or what I'm talking about. Sorry."

While things are trying to get back to normal, and people trying to crack the code, I slip away into my cabin. "First things first, find Bella. If I knew where she was, I wouldn't have to 'form a trinity that will walk a time ridden path.'" I mutter to my self.

"Should I ask Rachel? No I don't want another prophecy. I'll just ask Annabeth then, after all she is the child of Athena."

I walk through the camp trying to find Annabeth when a huge mound of fur jumps on me and nearly suffocates me.

"Down girl! Im going to die under your huge butt!" I yell. Mrs. O'Leary the worlds friendlist hellhound. Most likely the only. She is as big as a tank, according to Percy, and can rip through a stuffed yak any day. She sniffs the cuff on my jacket, turns out I have some of Bella's blood on it when I pushed her. . . I don't know if I should be happy thinking of her or should I feel rude for pushing her? Either way I now have a way to find her.

"Who needs Annabeth when I have a hellhound!" I hope he has a nose like a bloodhound. Heh, a nose like a bloodhound, using blood to track Bella. . . Never mind.

"Good girl! Can you find her? Get a good whiff." I encourage the hellhound. She scoops me up and of we go! She shadow travels into a tree.

We appear next to a building, I guess. Mrs. O'Leary slides me off her back and flops down to rest. I see a girl slicing a practice dummy to shreds, her black hair flies around and her static blue eyes filled with concentration. Bella looks better than the last time I saw her. Well every one looks better when they're out of the Underworld.

"Bella! I'm so glad-"

"What do you want, Ghost Princess?" She points a Celestial bronze sword, inches away from my nose.
