Percy's P.O.V
I shoved all my stuff into the backpack and hiked it up my shoulder. I pushed open the door and burst into the evening sun. I rushed past campers until I made it to the Athena cabin. I knocked, impatiently. Annabeth opened the door, her bag in her hand.
"Ready?" she asked. I nodded. She closed the door behind her and we dashed towards the beach.
"Where are they?" mummbled Annabeth not slowing her pace.
"The beach." I said, trying to multitask. She nodded. We walked for a while in silence.
"How did you get this past Chiron?" asked Annabeth, turning to look me in the eyes. I grinned mischeiveously.
"What he doesn't know can't hurt him." I responded. The clearing approached and I saw the soft sand dunes. We walked over. I heard the waves crashing and my friends voices.
"We're here." I stated, grinning widely.
"Hey." called Leo.
"Sup." replied Jason. Thalia and Piper nodded at our presence. We sat down on the logs near the fire pit.
"So what's the plan?" asked Thalia. I reached into my bag and pulled out a paper map I'd drawn.
"Rysa Cottage is supposed to be farther up. We have to follow the beach north-" I was interupted by Annabeth.
"So you 'supposed' it's up north." she said, raising her eyes brows. I ignored her dig.
"And then we turn to the forest and so on. I managed to find a book on Rysa Cottage and found a layout of the cottage." Leo rsaised his hand. I smiled.
"Valdez." I called.
"Um, how big is this 'cottage'?" he asked.
"Pretty big. About as big as 3 cabins." I estimated before continuing.
"And so I think the safest would be in the upsatirs bedrooms. The bottom is rumored to be infested by rats. And ghosts." I explained.
"You think we're scared of rats?" asked Thalia. I shook my head.
"But I'm assuming you don't want them in your sleeping bags." The nodded in agreement.
"We're going to be staying the night. Everyone has weapons?" They nodded.
"Piper has the food storage, but everyone has atleast a bit, incase we get seperated. Everyone has sleeping bags and extra clothing?" After a course of yeses, I continued with the last bit of information.
"Anyone with a camera?" Leo pulled out a camera.
"No flashes. They'll set her off." I warned.
"Aye Aye." he said before tucking it back in his knapsack.
"Oh and last thing. We're staying for only tonight. And no one is left behind." The nodded solemly.
I got up and turned to look in the direction we were headed.
"Let's head out."
A.N: I realized that I can only pull off horro stories, so I'm sticking to these :D
Anyway, I've made a minimum of four reviews before I update.
Hope these helps.
More would always be inspirational.
Hope you like 'Rysa Cottage'.
R&R plzzzz!
