Yay! I get to kill you!

When they got to the arena I was already looking at the spears. "You were right, it's already gone." I turned around, "So… what now?" I was hoping someone would have an answer, but it looked like no one did. "This is my fault isn't it?"

Ariadne walked up to me and said, "Probably." And she walked back to them.

"You're supposed to say 'it's no ones fault' or something! Not 'probably'!" Then I noticed something. "Hey! The chariot's gone!" They all looked at me.

Ariadne asked, "The what?"

I jogged to them and said, "The chariot, it's gone." They looked at me like I was crazy, so I explained.

"But there aren't any track marks." Thalia said and the others agreed.

Just then I smelt rotting flesh. I started waving my hand in front of my nose and said, "What's that smell?" Without letting them answer I started following the smell.

"Wait!" They all said and I heard something fly past my head. When I looked at what it was I saw it was a few spears half way through a tree.

I gulped and looked back slowly. "What the hell was that?"

"A monster assault technique trap." Ariadne said with a big sigh.

"Oh," I said in an I-don't-want-to-know voice, "Is that all?"

After we walked away from the traps, we went further into the forest towards the horrid smell. I noticed Thalia wasn't following us after a while, but I assumed there was a tree in the way. But when I looked back again she still wasn't there so I asked, "Where's Thalia?"

"Thalia's on a…pee break." Ariadne said surprised. "How did you notice she was gone? You're usually so…oblivious."

"I am? Haven't noticed." And I really didn't. "Anyway, whoever took Travis went through a lot of trouble, but is still in the camp. We should wait for Thalia before we go on anymore"

As if on cue she showed up with something in her hands. "Hey guys. Look at what I found." And we all gathered around her.

I noticed something immediately. "That's the one I was the one I was looking at when Travis disappeared and the one I was looking for in the arena!"

"Are you sure?"

'Geez Chiron why so negative'

"Yes I'm sure Chiron. Same kind of handle and same weird glowing spearhead."

"Thalia. Where did you find this?"

Thalia looked at him like he was stupid and I don't blame her, "Where I was peeing. Duh."

"Take us there." He demanded. So she started walking back to where she came from.

She looked back at me and said, "Come next to me." I didn't argue. I was standing next to the guy that I'm starting to think isn't him. When I got next to Thalia after a little she grabbed my hand and put her head on my shoulder. I could feel myself starting to blush and then she whispered, "Go along with it." I didn't really know what she was talking about, but I kept going.

When we stopped Chiron walked up next to us and started looking around, but I noticed out of the corner of my eye Chiron wasn't Chiron. Whispering as quietly as I could I said, "Thalia. That's not Chiron." She picked up her head and looked at me.

"What do you mean? Of course that's him." She said quietly.

"What are you two talking about?" He said impatiently.

"Nothing." Which was my usual response when I didn't want people to know what I was talking about.

"Okay, but keep it that way."

After he started walking away I continued, "Look at him through the corner of your eye." And she did, looking at me but seeing him for who he really was. A Laistrygonian or a giant cannibal that I studied last year, it's the same thing.

"What should we do?" She asked.

"Well I don't think Ariadne knows." I said thinking as hard as I could and then I got an idea, "Give me the spear."

"What-why?"

"Please." I said really nicely.

"Oh okay." And she handed it to me.

I walked up to 'Chiron' and asked, "Where did you put Travis?" in a bad imitation of a Laistrygonian.

To which he responded, "In the big house basement alone with the Chiron." He started turning around, not knowing I was right behind him with the spear, "Haven't I told you that enough times already?"

In my normal voice I said, "Now you have." And with that I shoved the spear in the back of his head. After he fell to the grass he vanished into gold dust I said, "To the big house!"

Ow! I'm pretty sure the last thing that Laistrygonian thought was, 'I smell something funny' 'Something tickles' or 'My brain looks awesome' as for me I would be thinking 'Hey! I'm using that right now! Can you do that some other time!'
