Here we are Chapter 8, Percy, Annabeth, Nico, and Thalia visit the first of Dru's Safe Haven's and are in for a surprise. Tell me what you think! ALSO! I am debating on whether or not to have part of the story be from Dru's perspective during all of this, tell me yes or no in your reviews! AND don't forget to vote on my poll about Dru's next destination! :)

Percy gave a sharp whistle, and not long after Blackjack swooped down.

Hey Boss!

"Hey Blackjack, got any friends up for a Quest?

Yeah, where are we going?

"To find Dru–"

Lady Dru? Sweet! DeLuca! Aquias! Ermani! We're going to Lady Dru's!

"Whoa, slow down Blackjack. How do you know Dru?" Percy asked as a seal bay, white, and dapple grey Pegasus touched down next to Blackjack and all started talking about Dru.

Everyone knows Lady Dru! Boss, you don't get it Lady Dru is amazing, sweet, and –

"Missing! We need to find her can you take her to the last Safe Haven she visited?"

Sure! Although the last one is different than the closest, although I do not recommend going to the New York country Safe Haven. Security is a nightmare.

"Sure, whatever. Wait! Why?"

Safe Haven's in West Point, on campus.

"Okay..." Percy said as she mounted Blackjack, Annabeth followed suit and mounted Aquias who was the large white mare who stood next to the darker seal bay mare that was DeLuca who gave Nico none of the difficulties Pegasus normally gave him. Thalia, however hesitated getting on Ermani, who was quite large with large hooves and a sleek dappled grey coat.

"Umm... Percy–" Thalia began.

"Thalia, we really don't have time. I know your afraid of heights but Ermani promises that you'll be fine."

"Fine." Thalia looked wearily as she mounted the large Pegasus and hung tight to it's mane as the four Pegasus's spread there variously colored wings and took to the sky. The moment the Pegasus had risen high enough in the air they took off at blazing speeds, so fast that the demigods vision blurred a rainbow of different colors covered in a thick haze as the Pegasus's sprinted faster and faster towards there destination almost as if they wanted to get there faster than the demigods.

Slowly, the four demigods vision began to clear as the Pegasus they rode on slowed and they were allowed to gape at the view before them. They were flying low over a seemingly empty peninsula of land on an island that Annabeth immediately identified as Martha's Vineyard. The crystal clear water swished softly against the pale sand, that rose up to meet the deep green grasses that dotted the land in between the beach and a large lake that seemed to feed into the ocean.

Hey Boss! The house is just coming into view! Blackjack said as the Pegasus swooped in a low circular pattern as a large white mansion (if you could call it that, it looked more like a city) came into view. Percy relayed the information to Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico as the Pegasus' swooped down for there final decent. There hooves clattering against the driveway as they tucked there wings and slowed to a stop allowing the demigods to dismount.

"Thanks Blackjack, we'll call if we need a lift."

Boss! Were not going anywhere! Every second a Lady Dru's Safe Haven's are like heaven with a lot of apples!

Percy laughed, gaining odd looks from Annabeth, Thalia, and Nico as they came over to him. "Okay Blackjack."

We'll be in the stables if you need anything. Oh and Boss, say hi to Gero and Natali!

"Who?" Percy asked but it was no use the Pegasus had already spread there wings and taken flight to the stables.

"What Seaweed Brain?" Annabeth asked coming to his side.

"Blackjack said, 'say hi to Gero and Natali' any idea what that means?"

"Names of people who visit here, maybe they can shed some light on Dru and his Creed?"

"And thats why your a Wise Girl." Percy grinned goofily as the four demigods walked up to the mansion fully taking its beauty for the first time. Their mouths formed a definitive "o" shape and a breathless "Wow" escaped from Annabeth's mouth as she took in the architecture masterpiece before her. The mansion was made entirely out of white Pentelic marble only found in Greece, it was grand and carnivorous with tall columns and perfectly sculpted archways that led up to the marble double doors that must have been at least fifteen feet tall.

"Now what?" Nico asked, slightly annoyed and no doubt wanting a nap.

"We could ring the doorbell?" Thalia suggested.

"Yeah, I vote we open the door." Percy said as his hand slipped over the stone handle and pushed open the doors going inside followed close by Annabeth, Nico and lastly Thalia.

Instantly, the intoxicating smell of the ocean, vanilla sugar, and food swept over the four demigods. They were instantly directed to where the smell was most prominent, causing them to survay many rooms along the search for food. Annabeth quickly realized that this mansion was utterly amazing, the floors alternated between deep hardwood to white and grey patterned stone each room had white crown molding, a pale shade of paint each one unique to the room although they were mainly white the textured paint held colors ranging from light blue to a pale orangish color. The rooms seemed to fit together seamlessly, never breaking the flow of marble and while formal very comforting and open. As they neared the smells origins the demigods noticed the sound of soft classical music, a television on low reporting the news and two voices, one male with a hint of an African accent and the other female with just the smallest hint of a European accent.

"What do we do?" Thalia asked in a whisper.

"Announce ourselves and hope they don't attack." Percy said as he neared closer to what he assumed to be the living room and the voices.

"You think that will work?" Nico's tone was somewhere in between sarcasm and worry.

"Only one way to find out." Percy said as he stepped into the room. "HELLO?"
