A/N This chapter may suck, don't hate me…. -.-

Lizzie

It's my turn again, thank you very much, the way it should be. The only reason we are telling you this is because we need to get the message out. Mortal or not, you can help us. We needed to get word out one way or another. No one knows where we are. We are not doing this to bag on each other and make fun throughout the group! Anyway…

Emma attempted to halt my escape plan. It took me a little while after our conversation to actually figure out I never got her name. She told me I'd probably die outside of camp. Just flat out said it. "Gee, great, thanks for that thought!" This was all crazy anyway. I was sleeping on the floor at that moment in between dozens of other half-bloods who apparently had godly blood in them. Just. Like. Me.

Now I'm never really one to complain but at this point, when I'm really pissed off, I will be and no one will give me crap about it. This cabin smells. That was the first thing I noticed when walking into it. It was worse than my gym teacher's breath and his gym socks combined. That's pretty bad. It was also a cluttered mess. Sleeping bags lay sprawled out across the room but none were occupied. It seemed to be that there were normally a lot more people in this cabin. I slept in one of the empty bunks.

I sat laying awake though, thinking about who my mom was. I didn't know my Greek Mythology very well. We only studied it in sixth grade for one semester. I remembered the basics like Zeus being the king of the gods or something and him Hades and Poseidon had pulled sticks for their domains. I counted the cabins and there were more than twenty. I thought there were only twelve gods. I had never really heard of Tyche or Nike. I thought that was just a shoe brand. But apparently they're gods and they hate to be not noticed, but recently they haven't been. I asked questions about all this but wasn't told much. Emma was really the only person that told me anything and that was barely anything.

What happened at dinner still confused me. Apparently almost everyone in that room understood what was going on except for me. People were missing, cabins were empty and somehow something got into this camp to do all that. And this place was supposed to keep half-bloods safe? I wasn't very convinced.

It wasn't easy getting out of the cabin without anyone seeing or hearing me. Actually it was impossible, because I didn't do it. I stepped on one creaky floor board and this one girl sat straight up in her bed only a couple feet away from me. Her blond hair was in braids but most of it was sticking up in different places on her head. She looked straight at me with squinted eyes. I smiled innocently. "What are you—?" she didn't get a chance to finish. Someone wacked her with a pillow. "Shut up Alice, go to bed." Someone moaned into a pillow. I crept another step towards the door as the girl's attention was grabbed.

"Don't hit me, Gregg!" she hissed. Someone else was up. "Go to bed!" they yelled and a half a dozen more people woke up. Pillows, blankets, books, anything anyone could get their hands on, went flying across the cabin at other people waking even more people up. One girl screamed and threw her hands in the air, shielding her face in a pillow and making herself as small as possible. Others went all out in the fast approached, all out war. I took my chance and fled from the loud cabin even though it was a nice change to actually see real smiles on these people's faces, but I didn't stay for the party.

I crept along the backside of the male god cabins, making my way to the pine tree where I knew there was a road at the bottom of that hill I could follow. The summer air was warm but it made me shiver slightly though the temperature was probably seventy five. The darkness wasn't welcoming and what Emma had said about monsters being out there didn't make me feel very safe. I stopped in my tracks behind the darkest looking cabin: The black one with green fire lit torches.

I looked around for a second biting my lip. Where could I get some sort of weapon? Some people were talking about forges earlier but that seemed like someplace to check out maybe another time. I would end up breaking something probably. There had got to be some sort of supply closet where protective stuff was kept. Anything could work at this point.

"You seem lost."

I didn't even notice the girl come up beside me. She had short blond hair that even shown in the dark night only framing her face to her cheek bones. She was a lot shorter than me but seemed to have all the confidence in the world as she stood in the dark next to me.

"I'm not lost," I snapped which was partially the truth. "I'm trying to find a decent place to get a weapon," That was not a lie at all.

"Uh, huh, sure." She said crossing her arms. "At one A.M. in the morning?"

"I couldn't sleep." I shrugged. Another fact. "I was wondering the same thing about you. I mean, why are you up this late?"

"I guess I should be the one with the better explanation being the fact that I've been here longer. You know the cleaning harpies come out at night. Campers out of bed mean dinner for them." She shrugged and smiled as my eyes widened. "Don't worry. I think it is just a joke. Not a lot of people have seen the harpies 'cause most follow the rules. No one has ever been eaten, I promise you."

I narrowed my eyes at her and tugged on the orange t-shirt the camp had given me. "Thanks for the advice, now if you don't mind," I started walking off back towards the Hermes cabin.

"Weapon shed is the other way," the girl said in a sing-song sort of tone. I turned around on my heel, my hair whipping in my face obnoxiously, which did not make me look like I knew what I was doing. I found her looking at her nails as if she were bored.

"I know where it is." I muttered. This was a lie.

"No you don't." the girl said. She turned and started to walk along towards the other end of the cabins. I stood there staring at her blankly. She turned back to me. "Well are you coming?" I rolled my eyes and sighed, following the girl. "I'm Louise by the way."

"Lizzie," I said softly falling into step next to her.

A/N Small Pathetic Chapter I know I know. Sorry! ;) Just a little bit at a time. (: That's how I roll. xD
