Grace's P.O.V.
I woke up to a hand covering my mouth. I reached for my sword- Percy wasn't the only one that got a gift from dad. My sword burned any foe that touched it. While I reached for it I screamed, but it was muted by the hand. I wasn't able to reach my sword so I did the next best thing, flail my limbs randomly hoping to hit this guy. Was it the same guy that took Alannah? How did they get into camp?
"Grace sto-OUCH!"
"Nico?" I asked.
"Yeah, shut up! You're gonna wake Percy. Why are you sleeping at the desk anyway?" He asked.
"I fell asleep?" Crap when did that happen!
"Get up and pack a bag. We're going to save Alannah," Nico said. I grabbed the bag I had packed earlier. He looked at me confused.
"Did you really think you were the only one who planned to sneak out tonight?" He broke into a smile and we left. I looked back at Percy once more. What would he thin? Would he be mad? Wait, why do I care? I want to, no have to do this. I have to save Alannah! I closed the door silently behind me and we moved towards the woods. Nico's boots were incredibly loud against the ground. "Be quiet!" I whispered. He rolled his eyes,"What do you want me to do? Take off my boots?" I nodded. He pouted, but did it. "Better?" he asked sourly. "Much." I quieted down when I heard a crack behind me. I spun around, sword ready.
"Who's there?" Nico asked. There was no answer, only a whizz as an arrow came flying straight at my face.
