Maya POV:

It was silent. Nothing stirred everything was frozen to its spot. Something was coming, I could feel it. My eyes glanced around, I was suddenly in my old bedroom. I suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming towards me, the door burst open. My mother was standing there with a wicked look in her eyes. She looked right through me. I looked down and saw a shimmering haze of a body. I wasn't really there, it was a flashback.

" What have you done to my daughter, I thought you loved me." She whispered her body shaking. "I know you can here me! Show yourself you coward!" She screamed. A flash lit up the room in an instant. Mother stumbled back at the sudden out burst of light.

" I haven't done anything but give you a child Margret. You asked for this, now you must protect her until she is old enough to go to camp. She is my strongest child I want her safe too." The figure said

" Then take her with you! Your a god you can protect her better than we can!" Mother screamed at him, throwing her hands up.

"I can not interfere with my children's destiny, you know that Margret." He whispered "It will be safer if this is the last time I see her." The figure walked over to the crib in the corner. A baby in pink pajamas was sleeping soundly surrounded by a sea-green blanket. "Give her this when she is old enough." With that he left my mom alone with the baby and a package on the floor. The dream shifted to black. It felt like I was floating in the Pacific, like I use to when I was younger. I tried opening my eyes but it felt like I was always off balance.

There was a large noise to my left. My eyes shot open and I rolled to my right, a huge foot was just where I was. "Maya! Are you okay? Watch out!" I was running as soon as I was on my feet. Malcolm was to my left with a fearful expression. We made eye contact and we both dived opposite directions. I finally got a good look at what was chasing us.

The beast had a million thorny legs, each was about as long as me from top to bottom. Propelling it at lightning speed. It's face was three times the size of a beach ball, with horribly long pinchers dripping green ooze, leaving craters in it's wake. The body had to be at least as long as two busses, all covered in rock hard armor.

I gulped. I stopped behind a large pine tree for a breath. My lungs thankfully sucking in air while I rested. A screech echoed through the air. My body froze, Malcolm! I shot out from behind the tree to see the giant millepede's legs fall to the ground. It's hate filled eyes glaring at Malcolm. I took the opening, catapulting at the monster's back I landed roughly but firmly. The millepede tried to throw me off but I wrapped my legs around its body.

"It could bite you!" Malcolm screeched at me from the ground. "Are you crazy?" He said waving his arms "A little bit." I yelled back with a crazy grin on my face. "Get closer to the head, it won't be able to poison you then." He said pointing franticly. Nodding I scooted closer to the head while trying to stay on. Which was difficult, this thing was putting up a good fight. Taking a dagger out from the pack on my back I looked for a break in the beasts armor. Internally I was a wreck. I hope Malcolm didn't see me shaking. Taking a deep breath when I finally found a chink in the millepede's armor I thrusted my dagger into its unprotected flesh. Right where it's head and body met.

I started falling instantly. A scream tore itself from my throat, the ground coming fast toward my free falling body. I twisted so I would land on my feet instead of my side, big no huge mistake. Right away my leg gave out and I cried out in pain, it felt like my ankle was on fire. A greedy fire that wanted to burn me from the inside out. Biting my lip so I wouldn't let out a blood curing scream. A salty liquid dribbled in my closed mouth. Malcolm appeared beside me in moments of my fall.

"Are you okay? Your so reckless! You could've died, never do that again Maya! I'm serious. That wasn't at all smart! You scared me!" He said completely out of breath

"Malcolm?" I whispered trying to steady my voice

"Yeah?"

"Shut up and help me." I yanked off my backpack and laid out the supplies I gathered from the big house. " Can you go get me two pieces of wood please?" I said grabbing the ambrosia and nectar from pack. Glancing up I saw Malcolm's back as he walked away looking for wood " Don't be long Malcolm." I yelled after raised his right hand as a gesture to signal he had heard me.

Malcolm POV

She scared the Hades out of me, jumping on the millepede's back. She could've died! When she fell my heart nearly stopped, I got there as fast as I could. Now she sent me away, I guess I understand she needed two straight boards... Oh yeah.

I glanced around and saw Juniper walking around with Ash, chatting happily. Her green dress swishing against her thighs. Her eyes bright " Hey Juniper, do you have any boards?" I said jogging up to the friends.

" Boards?" She looked at me confused. " Check near Zeus's Fist I think Leo was doing something out there."

"Thanks!" I bolted towards Zeus's Fist, my body flying through the trees. Moving my legs faster to propelling me faster. I had to get back soon. Maya is just sitting there alone and could be attacked again. Shaking my head to block out those thoughts. She would be fine, she just killed that centipede without any help! Panting I came to a stop. Leo was building a contraption right at the base of Zeus's fist. His curly hair was covered in dirt and sweat, his hands and face were covered in grease and his clothes had small rips in them, and he smelt like smoke.

"Leo!" No response. Cupping my hands to make my voice louder, I yelled again. He looked around confused and finally saw me.

"Malcolm? Is something wrong?"

"Nah, I just need some wood. Juniper told me you had some."

"Is this good?" He handed me a piece of wood about as long as my forearm.

"Do you have two? It's important." I said hurriedly. A grin stretched across my face when Leo came back with another piece. "Thanks a lot Leo, I have to go bye."

"No problem Malcolm!" He yelled after me waving. That goofy grin still plastered on his face.

Racing back to Maya felt like eternity, but in reality took only minutes. I was just behind a large bush when I heard Maya.

"God damn where is that boy? I need that wood now!" She muttered. "I can't wait forever, I am just a sitting duck right here! And with a trashed ankle. My body isn't any better. When I see him next I swear I will send him to-" I had enough.

"Maya? Here is your wood" I handed her the two pieces Leo gave me. " Oh gods! Maya your bleeding! Holy Zeus I was gone too long, why are you holding your ankle?" I paced back in forth. My hands running through my hair. I'm so STUPID I left her she probably broke her ankle ah Hades her blood is all over-

"Malcolm. I need your help, snap out of it." Her voice shook with strain. "Come over here and wrap my ankle in duct tape."

I look over and her forehead is dripping with sweat, I shook my head and concentrated. She tossed me the duct tape and I kneeled by her ankle. I gingerly picked her foot up. Wrapping the whole thing in duct tape as quickly as I could with out yanking on her ankle took a while. Done I sighed happily. The make-shift splint would hold. I glanced back at Maya, she was on her back. Her breathing was slow and calm, her fingers where tangled in the grass. I smiled to myself.

Still Malcolm POV :)

The sun was high up in the sky as I carried Maya up the Big House steps. Nikki came bursting out the door, her caramel hair was all over the place. Her eyes were blood shot and her face was red and puffy. She hurried me inside and had me lay Maya down on a spare bed. She shoved me out the door and told me Annabeth was waiting for me. I imagined my sister freaking out when I didn't come back last night. Shuddering I opened the door to my cabin. All eyes turned towards me in an instant. My little sister Megan rammed into me like a train knocking me off balance. Crashing to the ground with a grunt I glared at Megan.

"What was that for?"

"Where have you been Malcolm? You didn't come back last night! Did you find her?! Well Mal-"

"Megan enough!" Annabeth's commanding voice radiated through the room. "Everyone out."

"But Annabe-"

"Now!" In a blink of an eye Megan was ripped off me by Jared and carried out with the rest of my siblings rushing out behind them. Standing up I looked to my sister.

"Annabeth I'm really so-" I was cut off with a bone crushing hug.

"I was so worried." Her voice cracked " I was about to send Percy out to find you but it was already dark. Did you find her?"

Nodding while I wrapped my arms around my sister in a comforting hug. I placed my chin on her head. Her grip tightened as she started to shake. Dissolving into tears.

"Annabeth don't cry" I whispered. Looking up she wiped her tears angrily off her face. She hated crying. " We are both fine okay. Don't cry. Lets go see how Maya and Nikki are doing, Maya can be a little bit of a handful." When Annabeth didn't move I grinned. "Do you wanna piggy back ride?"

"Yes!" She yelled hopping on my back. Laughing we made our way to the Big House.
