Hello Percy Jackson fans! Sorry I didn't get to post, I was feeling lazy… Anyway, this is for TheAvidReader and Persiana. And by the way, to answer your review TheAvidReader, I think I might have one or two chapters in Clara or Percy's view, though it won't happen soon. That might pop up when Halley gets trapped or something. Also, I would love to pair up Clara with someone! I'll make him in this chapter, but the love will gradually show as Clara begins to trust him. Now on to the story.

"Oww…"

I peeled my head off the ground. Believe it or not, I'm alive and… uninjured! If you ask me, I think maybe Alice in Wonderland is a true story.

"Halley? Clara?" Percy called.

"Down here!" I yelled.

He hoisted me up, looking around for Clara.

"Clara?" He yelled. He started to freak out a bit.

"Down here, seaweed brain," she hissed.

She stood up as I scanned my surroundings. As you know, I'm very used to waking up somewhere unknown. In fact, that's practically been my whole journey- waking up in weird places. I realized that we didn't have our weapons, ever since Procrustes took it. If we ran into a monster, we're in big trouble. Scuffle. I froze. What was that? Scuffle.

"Err, guys? Did… did you just hear that?" Percy asked, his tone wavering.

I reached down to where my sword would be if not for some stupid faker whose name starts with 'Procrust' and ends with 'es'. 3 guesses for who that is. Clara had it easy. She could just knock people unconscious with her voice. But if I and Percy were alone… we'd probably die. Scuffle. I tensed and was ready to spring when I saw… a rat. I stared at it in disbelief.

"Uh, this place has rats and it smells! Can we go home now?" Percy complained like an Aphrodite girl.

I sighed and said, "Let's get going. Did any of you see the arrow?"

I searched and found it unharmed.

"Come on guys, let's go."

I held up the silver arrow to cast some light. So far, it did look like a sewer, with rats scurrying around and a horrible stench in the air. Seriously, I nearly wanted to throw up. Suddenly, the arrow veered off to the right- heading towards a pipe. I raised my eyebrows at my companions.

"Well guys? We've got some climbing to do!"

The pipe reeked of moldy fungus and stinky 100 year old socks. I coughed and pinched my nose.

"Anyone else's noses dying?" I asked.

Clara looked awfully green and Percy looked like he could eject his lunch… from the mouth, of course. I swear, by the time I get out of here, I'm never going to be able to wash this stench away. Rats scurried across the wet floor, overgrown with moss and fungus.

"What's making that smell in the first place?" Percy asked.

I didn't know, but I'm pretty sure whoever lives in the sewer didn't find out about the art of showering. Or using water in a hygienic way. I just hoped I wasn't stepping in some monster's pee. Then we heard a slight bang and a crash, coming from a hole in the large pipe. We exchanged glances and ran towards the cave-like hole. When we got there, we came upon a guy, about Clara's age, his clothes in tatters and his face haggard. He looked like Percy and Clara when they were being tortured by Gaea- absolutely depressed. His body was bound with tight ropes, his eyes wildly darted around the cave until it rested on us. He was kicking a twig to the side, and I realized he made the banging sounds. I took off the gag in his mouth.

"Quick!" He yelled, "He's going to come back any second now!"

Without thinking, we untied him. He rubbed his wrists and stretched, and I assumed he had been bound for a long time.

"Who is going to come back?" Clara questioned.

His eyes widened as we heard dull thuds from the pipe.

"He's here," he whispered.

There were thumping noises as the monster entered. He looked like a polar bear, except with claws, fangs, and not to mention the creepy red glowing eyes. Beside me, Clara caught her breath.

"Agrius," she muttered under her breath.

Oh, that guy. I think he was a giant. Uh oh…

"RUN!" I screamed.

We bolted in different directions, me heading back along the pipe. I heard the roar of Agrius as he destroyed everything in his path to find the person who stole his lunch (I think). At some point I crashed into the boy that we just set free.

"Its weakness is its eyes! Stab him in the eyes!" He whispered.

I nodded my thank you and took off, grabbing a sharp piece or rock on the ground. I steadily crept up on him while he was trying to destroy Clara, who was fending him off pretty well by herself. There was no sign of Percy. I circled around him, trying to see a moment of hesitation. I got the perfect opportunity when Clara levitated the sewer water and splashed his face (I would have been celebrating if the smell hadn't gone 1000 times worse). I screamed something along the lines of "Go take a shower!" and threw the rock with dead accuracy into its eye. He burst into piles of dust.

"Eww…" I said, disgusted, as the eye rolled down at my feet. It was oozing some sort of slime.

"That's disgusting!" Clara said, horrified.

Right then Percy decided to show up. He looked at the eyeball weirdly, but his eyes were bright.

"Guys! Check out what I found!" He yelled happily.

We followed Percy into another cave.

"Whoa," Clara breathed.

Whoa indeed. It wasn't because of the marble tiled floor, or the fancy table, but what was on the table…

"Are those cheeseburgers?" the boy asked.

We rushed towards the table, cramming as much food as we could to our mouths.

"I'm so glad you like the food," someone said.

I turned around to face yet another supreme being- Hera.

"Hera, what do you want?" Percy scowled.

I was going to punch him in the face, but I didn't want to look violent in front of the goddess. She cast him a very disapproving look.

"Perseus Jackson, you had better watch your tongue," she said distastefully, "I am here to help you."

Percy rolled his eyes and said, "Sorry, already doing Artemis a favor."

"I am here to give you your weapons."

"Why?" I asked, slightly suspicious.

"Because Apollo and Poseidon begged me and I convinced Zeus to let me come down here."

Well that made sense. I had a sort of fuzzy feeling about my dad caring about me. I didn't like him at first. I mean, he did technically abandon me and my mom. But it felt nice to know that someone was there, looking out for you.

"I can't linger for long," Hera said, "so here are your weapons back. And Percy, I fixed your pockets."

I gladly accepted my sword and swung it, feeling a lot more safer with it. Clara expertly twirled her trident and Percy was ecstatically touching his pockets. Thank the gods for Hera.

"Thanks a lot, Lady Hera," I said, but I found myself talking to air.

"She even gave me a weapon!" The boy exclaimed. Okay, I really have to find out his name before I start calling him 'the boy'.

"By the way, what's your name?" I inquired.

"My name's Thomas and I'm a son of Aphrodite," He said shyly.

Clara introduced, "I'm Clara, this is Halley and this is my brother Percy. We're children of Poseidon and Halley is a daughter of Apollo."

He nodded to us and looked at the arrow in my hand.

"That's supposed to show us the way to the monster Evil Night (Το κακό Νύχτα) that Artemis sent us to find," I explained.

He still looked confused so we had Clara explain everything to him.

"Wow, you guys are really brave," he appraised.

We blushed, but our victory was short lived. The arrow quickly veered to the right and started shaking. Then it jerked to the left and spun around crazily.

"What the Hades is happening to it?" Percy exclaimed.

It leapt off my hand and spun on the ground.

"What do you think it means?" Clara asked.

My head gears started to turn (they weren't working before because I was too near Percy) and I slowly pieced it together. If the arrow could locate the exact position of the monster… And it was jerking around now… I remembered when the arrow just veered off to the left. So that meant…

"The monster's here, and its very close, but the arrow can't pinpoint where because it's probably circling us!" Clara said before I could.

We looked around very nervously and caught our breaths. The monster was somewhere here. But where is it? Then, we tensed as we heard a growl. It was low, like the monster that Artemis described. The arrow was now getting sucked into the ground, like it was trying to get out. Then all of a sudden it burst into a white-hot searing light, blinding us all. When we could open our eyes, it was gone.

"Um… where did the arrow go?" Percy asked, confused as normal.

We didn't get time to answer as we were face to face with a sleek night-black wolf, with two snow-white eyes.

Το κακό Νύχτα.
