The Demigods woke to the sound of Annabeth's voice yelling "Get up!" In all of the tents. They slowly trudged out of bed and packed their stuff into the chariots, all except Piper who had woken Cleo up hours ago and had already dressed packed her stuff and was impatiently pacing around the chariots "Let's go you guys!" she clapped her hands at them.
"Pipes! Chill." Leo said
"Almost done… and there! Now we can go Piper." Percy said as he finished putting out their campfire. The gangs climbed in their respective chariots and finally sped off.
"It feels so good to be home again!" Annabeth turned her face into the sea breezes "It also reminds me of you!" She kissed Percy. Kylie giggled and hid her face "Eww you guys!" She turned away.
"Seriously the ferry's leaving soon!" Piper was already running towards the pier. Percy paid for everyone except Annabeth who snuck on via invisibility baseball cap. The Demigods could feel Something coming from Alcatraz as if it were radiating monster juice. "He is definitely here." Demetria sniffed the air.
"Either that or my dad decided to make his summer home in San Francisco." Zeno said while plugging his nose.
"I know there's the mist and all, but how do they not smell this!" Cleo waved her hand near her nose to attempt to wave away the stench. Most of the group sat with plugged noses trying not to breathe in, everyone except Clarisse, Halfdan and DJ. All the Ares kids were leaning over the railing like excited puppies out the car window. Clarisse inhaled deeply "Smells like something we get to kill!" She hive-fived her brothers and continued to nearly fall off the boat.
"Get off the rail you guys I don't want to have to save you just yet." Percy said and pulled them off the edge. "Sometimes you remind me a little too much of your father." He shook his head. The ferry banked near the front of the Island and the demigods were instructed to "Get off," and told "remember kids this is a historical park, not a playground." Needless to say the ferry director got quite a few glares from the Demigods and death stares from Jared and Annabeth.
"How are we planning on finding Jason?" Blair asked.
"Unfortunately, follow the monster smell." Jared said.
"So that way." Demetria pointed towards the cell house. The Ares kids ran off with Piper trailing shortly behind them.
"Guys wait!" The others ran to catch them. After about an hour of literally sniffing around they were able to pinpoint the smell, to a door … on the floor.
"Do we really have to go down there?" Krissie shuddered. Piper just glared at her.
"I don't know you guys there aren't any ghosts around here, it's like their scared." Zeno shifted from side to side uncomfortably.
"Well if Zeno's uncomfortable and we're looking for ghost we probably should be looking elsewhere." Krissie slowly backed away.
"Not so fast." Clarisse grabbed Krissie. "I'll go down first, but I expect rainbow head to be right behind me." She jumped down through the door completely ignoring the ladder that led to the floor below.
"Can I at least use the ladder?" Krissie made a face at the rest of them as she climbed down the steel ladder. The other Demigods followed one by one into the cold concrete barracks.
"Oh! I know what this is! This is the dungeon!" Annabeth whispered happily.
"Yeah, I just LOVE dungeons." Demetria said sarcastically.
After walking for a few minutes Piper shivered and grabbed the wall
"He's here!" She whispered excitedly.
"I'm going to assume that's some weird Aphrodite power and just go with besides I can almost feel something that needs to be killed." Halfdan smiled crazily. He got weird looks from the rest of the group except Clarisse, who gave him a high five. Piper glared and put her finger to her lips. Just then they heard a noise.
"Do you smell that?" A woman's hushed voice came from around the corner. Two furies rounded the corner to find 17 demigods staring back at them. The two groups stared at each other waiting for the other to move first.
" Demi-" The fury was cut off mid sentence by Piper shushing it.
"Take us to Jason." She said. The two creatures slowly began to lead them away.
OOO
