14. Revenge is near
Matthias had escaped with the book and he knew exactly what he was going to do. So he ran as fast as he could and always held on to his backpack. He guessed that it would take him at least one day if he hurried and ran towards Camp Half-Blood. He planned to leave the book in the camp so Demetrius would find it. Then ounce that was done he would tell Shadow Camp that he had returned. They would tell him about the book, then he would tell Natura that on his way back he saw that the gods had been disturbed and the camp would panic. Then with that they would all go to Camp Half-Blood. He smiled as he thought all about it, "Then if the prophecy is right the camps will destroy each other. Ounce they do the gods will all blame themselves for not protecting there children and the war of the gods will lead to the destruction of Mt. Olympus!"
The group then decided that they would enter through the seashore. They were not sure that they could stop whoever or whatever was in the water but they had to try. Vince was determined to get to his mom he had come all this way and he was going to get her. "We should leave Pyres along the shore that way he can be our lookout," Luna said.
"Agreed, because I doubt he wants to go in the water." So Pyres landed and they all got off then Percy went into the water.
"Father we need help send us a boat please." At first nothing happened and then they spotted the boat with a big sail. Also aboard the boat they found food and Canteens of fresh water to drink. "Thanks, dad."
Meanwhile, back at Camp Half-Blood the camp was filled with many cabins and different trials to take along the woods. Matthias went into the camp but what he didn't know was that Tristan had followed him into the camp. He kept going and was keeping to the shadows so he would not be discovered. When he heard footsteps coming towards him.
"What happens if they don't come back?" It was a camper he recognized as Shawn. He had gone to the other camp many times. He could remember some of the people he had spoken with. Nobody knew Shawn's actual name because he had been rejected by his family and Shawn just like him, had never been claimed by his god parent.
As he thought about that he got another idea. So he quickly went behind the main cabin and snuck in while everyone from camp was in a meeting. Shawn saw him go inside and he followed him. "I need your help," he said. Then Shawn agreed to help him. In the middle of the meeting there was a loud noise coming from the cabins. The campers and warriors got up to go look about. Everything seemed to be in perfect order, that is until they saw the smoke coming from the forest. It was rising higher and higher, it was already higher than the tallest tree at camp. Then they turned around and saw Shawn. At that point Shawn threw the book into the fire. The boys walked away and it was A girl who found the book. The campers were eager to find out what the mysterious book was. The leader of the Hermes cabin Jasmine had found it but the campers could not read it. The campers decided to get the mysterious book to Demetrius right away.
Demetrius had to tell the campers what was going on without revealing the secret of the the other camp. "Where did you find the book Jasmine."
"In the forest near the smoke it was right next to the logs as if it was going to be burned."
"Did you see who put it there?"
"No. But I found this next to the book." She held up a folded piece of paper with writing that she could not read. No matter how much she tried the letters kept switching order. She was indeed dyslexic and she wanted to know what the book was. Then the campers all took a look at the paper and finally Demetrius read: GET READY FOR WAR.
