Percy's POV

The five of us walked back to the hotel in silence. It was almost midnight and the stars were coming out. Grover's hooves shuffled against the ground and he muttered something about how mortals need to take better care of the planet. I stuffed my hands in my pockets and looked at the floor as I walked.

" So" Annabeth said breaking the silence ", where do we go next with this?"

" I don't know" Stacy said.

" Maybe we should IM Chiron" I suggested.

" Yeah....lets hurry up and do that." Grover told us "This darkness creeps me out"

We walked into a dark ally and Stacy pulled out a flashlight and a mirror.

" Use your water powers" she said. I hesitated. In the dance studio my powers weren't working. I took a deep breath and snapped my fingers. The strange feeling in my gut tightened. Water sprayed out perfectly from a water pipe near by. A rainbow appeared and I tossed in my gold coin.

" Chiron. Camp Half-Blood" I said. A image came up and Chiron was at archery practice. He shot an arrow and smiled. Then without turning he said " Percy! What are you calling for"

" Oh...we just needed to asked for help"

" Ok" The old horse man put down his arrows and turned to us.

" What do you need" He asked. I told him what happened with Nike and he nodded in understanding.

" Chiron...while I was there....I couldn't stop the fire! I mean my powers just...wouldn't work" I said.

" Now that's strange! Did you do anything before the fire started"

" Piss off Nike" I said. In the background I heard someone laugh.

" No, Percy before that"

" Well....she had us like dancing or something then we started to talk" I said.

" How were you dancing?" Chiron asked.

" Um" I didn't understand why Chiron asked that " I was copying Nike movements" I said.

" Thats it! By following Nikes dance she made your powers go away for awhile"

" Oh..." I faltered not sure what to say.

" Well anything happen at camp" I asked. Chiron's face was soft but a little confused.

" Well....were missing someone" he said.

" What! Who?" I said alarmed. Annabeth walked over and question Chiron too.

" Well It seems Miss. Dare is nowhere in sight" The horse man said.

" What do mean? She ran away? Someone took her?" I asked.

" Well we don't know for sure but, we knows shes not here" He said. It was silent. Annabeth walked away.

" Well I geuss I have to go" Chiron said as the image became fuzzy.

" No Chiron wait! I need to know where were suppose to go next!" I yelled but the message faded away.

" What now?" Stacy asked.

" We go back to the hotel" Annabeth said.

We turned the corner and the Marriott was in our sight. I smiled. I couldn't wait to get inside. My legs hurt and we were all tired and hungry. Strolling up to the door of our hotel Annabeth stiffened.

" Whats wrong?" I asked her.

" Did you hear that" We stopped outside of the door.

" Guys come on we wait later! Lets go in now" Stacy said. Grover gasped.

" I smell something" He said. My hand went to Riptide. There was silence and Stacy opened the door. I saw something stir inside the lobby.

" Stacy don't" I yelled but it was to late. The daughter of Aphrodite screamed as the many-headed Hydra snapped at her. The four of us ran inside. The clerk screamed and hid behind his desk as costumers scurried away in the restrooms. I had Riptide out as well as Annabeth had her dagger and Grover his tin cans. Nancy stood in the corner terrified.

" Annabeth give me your hat" I said. She handed me her yankees baseball cap and I ran over to Nancy.

" Here put this on and hide" I ordered. With no thought she did as I said. Then turning around I dodged a snap from the monster in the middle of the room. Each head was attacking everyone. Even Stacy had her armor out. I ducked and dived over to Annabeth.

" We have to do something! We can't just slice the heads off! Two more will appear!" I said. She pulled me down to the ground as green acid shot across the room.

" I know that! The last time we fought it Clarisse blow it up! Remember!" She yelled. I stood up and jabbed at one of the heads.

" Maybe we could do it Hercules style!" I said.

" We can't! There's noting we could heat up! We need fire" she pointed out. I looked around, she was right.

" Well" I said jumping out of the way as a set of teeth came at me.

" We have to stab it then" Annabeth said.

" How! It'll kill us before we get there"

" Not unless it can't see you" Now I understood where she was go. We needed Nancy to do it.

" Nancy!" I called.

" yeah" A voice came from behind me.

" You need to take my sword and stab the monster in his body" I said like it was that easy.

" But I can't fight! Percy I don't know ho-"

" Nancy you have to do it!" I yelled. I shoved my sword in her hands and she pulled the cap on. I rolled out of the way of another attack. I had no weapon and was trusting Nancy could kill this thing. I heard a ding come from behind me. Another head snapped at me. I stepped back and bent down. Then just as another mouth tried to bit me a hand grabbed my shoulder and yanked me backward. I tumbled into the elevator.

" Percy?!?" I heard Annabeth call. Another head tried to snap at me but the doors of the elevator closed and chopped of his head. Green goo splattered everywhere.

" EWWWW" A girls voice shrieked behind me.

" What in Hades" I said.

" Sorry Percy but I have to tell you something" Someone said. Then looking up and gasped. Rachel Elizabeth Dare was standing in the same room with me.

Sorry It was short!!! But please REVIEW!!!!
