Chapter 6: I Meet Three Gods That I Didn't Know Existed

After I had pulled myself together Zoë and the Huntresses went away and Alex, Kerrigan, and Chris went home. So basically I was on my own. Or so I thought. I knew that I should've gone to Camp Half-Blood but no, I didn't did I? So, I was going to a hotel to stay until I could think out my plan. At four o'clock the next day I made reservations at Manhattan Island Hotel.

When I walked in I could tell that it was a god hotel. There was a giant stereo system in the corner with some people standing around it. The DJ was a god. He was in a thirteen year old's form and he had long, curly brown hair and dazzling blue eyes. The god wore a white hooded sweatshirt with gray designs on it. Next to him was another god in a form of a thirteen year old also. He had long blondish hair with blue eyes and a spray of freckles across his nose and he wore a black hooded sweatshirt with a green sign that represented some energy drink I'd never heard of. They were playing some rap song that made me want to pull my ears off. I walked over to them and they turned on a slow song and turned the volume low.

"Hey! What's up, I'm Sage, the God of DJs. And this is TJ the God of Partying," the curly haired one said.

"I'm Thalia Grace," I replied. I looked over and seen a girl with long brown hair and pretty blue eyes dancing like an idiot with her glasses falling off.

Sage noticed me looking at her, "That's Chelsie, the Goddess of Craziness and Weirdoes."

"Nice," I replied.

Sage and TJ looked through piles and piles of CDs, trying to find something that was just right. They looked towards me like they wanted me to make a suggestion. "Play something by Green Day," I suggested.

"Great choice, Thalia right?" TJ said.

"Yep, Thalia Grace." Since it was a party I decided to have a little fun. I walked over to the food table and waited for some boys my age to come by. Since I was only ten, no one came so I crashed on an orange cushiony couch that was in the party room. The dream I had that night was a continuation of my dream from when I was on the bus when I was going to meet Luke in Long Island.

The Kronos side of Luke was reaching for a half-steel, half-Celestial bronze curved sword. He picked it up but then the Luke side dropped it. The sixteen year old boy was holding his sword Riptide again. He raised it and prepared to strike Luke/Kronos.

"Please, Percy …" The Luke side of him said to the boy.

I bolted up on the couch. No one was there except for Sage and TJ sleeping on the other couches.

"Sage! TJ!" I yelled. They got up.

"What?" TJ muttered angrily.

"Err … Umm … Never mind," I struggled for words. I stood up and ran out the door to the hallway of Manhattan Island Hotel and sped out the front door. Well this really, really, really sucks! I have no friends, I'm a lone half-blood that monsters are just waiting to find and my parents have no idea where I am! I looked over a newsstand and see a news paper. Like most demigods I have dyslexia so it took me a few seconds to unscramble the words. In the end I seen it said something like Ten year-old girl goes missing in Maine.Surprisingly enough they were talking about me, Thalia Grace who lived in Maine! This is New York for Zeus's sake! Why were they talking about me? I set that thought aside for the moment and thought about how I was going to survive this without someone to help me. Then it hit me! I would go to Camp Half-Blood and stay there until I can find out where Luke flew off to.

I knew Camp Half-Blood was somewhere deep in the forests of Long Island. How the Hades was I going to find a camp that most people in the world didn't know it existed? Well, I was just about to find that out. So, I walked along the back roads of Long Island and came to a deep forest. I walked into the deep woods and seen one thing I didn't have time for.

The Dragon!
