Okay, so here's the next chapter. I know you people must dieing to know who the troublesome new demigod is, and how they cause trouble for the camp, and I am here to tell you that it is in fact... (Drum roll please) ... NOT reveled completely in this chapter. I know, I know, you people either hate me or don't care, but I hope you can bare with me and enjoy Percy and friend's little adventures in the mean time.
I do not own PJO in any way, that all goes to Rick Riordan (Who in my opinion needs to hurry it up with "Mark of Athena")
Percy's Point of View
I was walking down a dark corridor, torches lit the damp passageway, you could almost feel the water dripping down the stone walls. The first place that came to mind
was Daedalus' labyrinth, but it couldn't have been, the labyrinth had been destroyed almost over a year ago when Daedalus died. I guessed I was in some sort of tunnel
underground. I turned a corner and saw two dracaenae walking towards me. Dracaenae were monsters with the top half of a human with green scaly skin, and instead of
legs they had two snake trunks. My hand immediately went to my pocket, I pulled out my pen, riptide, and uncapped it, revealing its true form as a three foot long blade
made of celestial bronze. I slipped into another hall way. I leaned against the black rock of the walls, as the snake ladies passed me. I continued to walk, that feeling in
the pit of my stomach getting worse. A few feet up ahead there was two hallways, I could hear hissing coming from the left, so I took the right. As I continued to walk, the
torches became more spread apart on the walls, making what little light there was even dimmer. I came out into a open room, on the other side was a cell door. I walked
across, something was definitely wrong. As I approached the door, I could here faint sounds coming from the next room, it sounded like someone was calling for help. I
grabbed the handle and tried to open it, but it was locked. The voice was getting louder, I banged on the door in a attempt to break it down. Someone was definitely
screaming on the other side.
"Hey I'm here to help you!" I called out. I felt the door start to give in, the locks broke with a crack. I reached for the handle once again,
before feeling the hands wrap around my mouth and neck. I woke up panting. My body was shaking, my forehead covered in a sheen of sweat. I untangled my sheets
from around my legs (which I had gotten stuck in by twisting around in my sleep), walked over to the sink and splashed cold water on my face. It couldn't have been a
dream, it was all to real, but then again, demigod dreams were always like that. I shook my head and went over to my dresser, on it were pictures of my friends and
family. There was one of my mom and me at the beach house in Montauk. One had Grover in it, he was waving and looked like he was standing outside of the St. Louis
Gateway arch, pointing to the construction on a giant whole blown out the bottom (Ah, memories). Then there was me, Thalia, Nico, Grover, Annabeth, and Tyson, we
were all laughing. My eyes glanced down at the picture that was taken when Annabeth and I had started going out, we had been dumped in the canoe lake, and were
wrapped in the same towel, her hair was plastered to her face same with mine (I had let us get soaked, so the campers wouldn't be too disappointed). Despite the
previous nightmare, and the mysterious conference of the gods, today was going to be great. My girlfriend, Annabeth, was finally taking a break and coming to visit, Thalia
was staying for the next week, and Nico had showed up yesterday, so almost all my friends were here. I threw on my regular outfit, and once again walked up to
half-blood hill. I waited for minutes, which seemed like hours. Soon I saw the golden haired, gray eyed, wonderful girl that I had fallen in love with. Annabeth ran towards
me, soon we were in each others arms, "Hey seaweed brain." she giggled, "Hey Wise girl." I said back. I pulled her close and kissed her.
"Aww, it's so cute I think I'm going to be sick!" I turned around to see Nico and Thalia standing at the top of the hill.
"Really? Once again, does this camp has no privacy!" I said, irritated.
"Nope." Nico replied,
"Hey, Annabeth, does he taste like sushi!" Thalia shouted, she and Nico started cracking up.
"I am so going to kill them." I mumbled,
"Oh come on, their just having fun." Annabeth said, kissing me on the cheek. I decided to get back at Nico and Thalia later. I put my arm around Annabeth and walked up
the hill with her. Nico and Thalia joined us after recovering from their laughter. "So what do you guys want to do?" Nico asked as we passed the big house,
"Um, I dunno, capture the flag got moved to later tonight so that's something." I said,
"I know, but what do you want to do now!" Nico wined,
"I have an idea, how about we have a manhunt?" Thalia suggested with a mischievous smile.
"Okay." Nico said, happy that we were doing something,
"Uh, Nico, I'm not so sure about this." Annabeth said,
"Ya, Nico I don't think-"
"Hey! The kid wants to play manhunt, so lets play manhunt." Thalia said,
"But wait, this applies to me too, I think I should have a say in it!" Thalia just tuned me out. I knew I was going to regret this, as she dragged us over to the arena.
