Ah, chapter two, lets see if it turns out as well as the first! If you have any ideas about where the story should go, go ahead and tell me in your review, and I will see if I can incorporate it in to my story!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot...

I awoke with a pounding headache, and I was certain that I was not in my cabin at camp. I heard sirens, and it all came back to me.
The reports of strange things happening in Brooklyn. Leo, Piper, Annabeth and I had gone to see for ourselves when we got wind of some sort of monsters at the Brooklyn Museum. When we got there, we found a party going on, and not the fun, planned type. I saw four kids like us, two maybe our age, and two a little younger; two boys and two girls. We flew in through the window in the roof, which was already cracked in a few places, and landed in the midst of what looked like a magical battle.
A blond girl stood in the middle of the room chanting, a glowing vortex swirling around her, sucking towards it white flames that were vaguely human shaped. The two boys were doing something with-was that a griffin from Egyptian myths?! My brain had no idea. I ran up to the other girl, who also had blond hair, but hers had red streaks in it. I said, "who are you and what is going on here?!" She replied, "Uh, I'm Sadie Kane, and this is a very long story. I might ask you the same question if our lives weren't in danger."
I looked around and I saw she was right. I saw several mortals lying on the ground coughing and their eyes glowing. Behind the girl, Sadie, I could see that the two boys were having some difficulty with the animal, and-HOLY COW where did that boat come from?!
Annabeth ran up behind me and said, "We need to get everybody out, the structure of the building is weakening and it is getting ready to implode any minute!"
At that moment, I noticed two things, one, the blond girl in the middle of the room had stopped chanting and the vortex that was around her collapsed inward and took the flamey things with it. Two, I saw giant cracks running up the walls and ceiling. I saw the building cave in and that's the last thing I remember.
When I was conscious again I sat up and brushed some rubble to the side. I thought that either I had only been out a few seconds, or the police were too nervous to go into the collapsed building, (probably both) because I didn't see any police.
I heard whinnying and looked in the direction it came from. I saw Annabeth and Leo trying to calm the frightened pegasi; both looked okay. I couldn't see anyone else though from the angle I was at. I was worried about the others so I got up and started searching through the rubble where I thought the girl with red streaks in her hair might be. What was her name? Lady? No right! Sadie.
While I was searching, I looked over and saw one of the boys crumpled in a heap. He had chocolate-brown skin like the other boy, but he was smaller. He had a big gash across his forehead and he was out cold. I ran to him and looked him over. He seemed to be breathing, but shallowly. I gently picked him up and carried him over to the pegasi. Annabeth and Leo had found Piper; She was also knocked out like the boy, but other than that she looked okay.
I looked around at our condition and said hopelessly, "I hate to say it, but we don't have enough room for the others on the two pegasi that we've got, so we will have to take these two to camp and come straight back. I don't think the police would take the chance of coming out here, the parts that are still standing don't look too sturdy." Annabeth and Leo reluctantly agreed, so we got on the pegasi and took off. I willed them to go as fast as possible.
As we flew away, I looked down with guilt and saw a couple dozen firetrucks, ambulances, and police cars. They had barricaded the area around the museum.
We had taken Piper and the other boy to Camp Half-Blood and told Chiron the short version of what had happened. Annabeth stayed to help at camp while Leo and I flew the pegasi back to the museum.
When we arrived there was still no one on the inside of the building. We searched and searched through what seemed like all the rubble, but we found no trace of the other three that had been there. It was as if they had disappeared. We gave up after an hour and a half, when we thought we had probably pushed our luck too far. The police would be here any minute, and we did not want any awkward questions.
We flew back to camp and explained to Chiron all that had happened. I still wondered what had become of the others though...
How was it? Tell me! What happened to Sadie, Jaz and Walt? What will happen to Carter at Camp Half-Blood? Wait for the next chapter to find out!
I know there was only a few reviews, but I wanted to say some things:
Whimsy: Is this length a bit better for you? It's sometimes hard to make the chapters real long. And thanks! I try to keep them as true to character as possible.
bhz: Thanks for letting me know, I can't believe I made that mistake! I was even reading the Throne of Fire as I wrote so that I would get everything right!
