Annabeth smiled and sat down. They had just built a new safe house and were getting some rest. The tired little girl was a good fighter, as Luke had predicted, but was still just a kid, so she needed her rest. She was alone in the shelter; Thalia and Luke were outside, talking.
"Any idea where we are?" asked Thalia.
"Somewhere in Rhode Island." Replied the son of Hermes.
"Fascinating." said Thalia sarcastically.
A noise in the bushes ended their conversation. "Hellhound?" whispered Annabeth, coming outside, with her knife drawn.
"I think so." whispered Luke.
Thalia drew her spear and tapped her bracelet and Aegis appeared. The hellhound came out of the bushes and headed toward Luke, because he was unarmed. Thalia swung her spear at the hellhound, but was too slow. The hellhound turned on her. She managed to kill it, but not before it managed to scratch her leg badly. Thalia fell to the ground in pain.
