7. Shadow
They were at the end of the valley. "This is it, we must stop here," Matt said. They all walked into the house and then Vince suddenly felt he remembered something. He picked up a book and began to read it. He had no trouble reading it, though he as dyslexic. The others came to see what the book was about. It was in Latin they realized, Vince had begun to read the passages out loud. "Does it say where the map is?"
"The map of Shadow Camp can only be found if this passage is recited." Then Matt came closer to Vince and they both read the passage in Latin. Nothing happened. But then their was a glowing light coming from the book then the pages turned to reveal a hidden page, there it was The Map of Shadow Camp. Matt took it and gave the map to Gerard.
"We must go find Shadow Camp, I believe if we go there we will have more clues as to where Artemis may be." They all looked at each other then back at Matt.
"But didn't Demetrius say that if the Demigods from the two camps met they would start a war of some kind?," Gerard countered.
"Or they could join forces and find Artemis, I mean My mom." With that it was settled they had to go to Shadow Camp, so they went on their way.
"Vincent son of Artemis," Vince turned around to see that a woman was standing in the center of the room. "You have come at last we were looking everywhere for you."
"Why me...I don't understand?..."
"So it is him...why did he just now show up, he should have come with Jason." Vince seemed to recognize the lady he even remembered Jason. But he had been too busy thinking of where he knew them from, he seemed to have missed another boy walk in. "Vince it has been a long time since we last met," said Percy.
"I guess so", he just vaguely remembered meeting Percy though he didn't remember where, "whats going on?"
"I was sent by the council of shadows to guide you to the camp." Then after that the lady disappeared, the demigods all followed Percy. "But how will we get there?"
"Pyres, where are you?" called Gerard the phenix came out from behind the tree. They all climbed on, Percy was the last one on. "So where to now?"
"We should rest it is almost sundown and we have not had anything to eat," Lacy said. They landed somewhere in the forest, but this forest was different from the one before. They all seemed to notice that there were footprints on the ground something or someone was following them.
