Sarah's POV:

Leo scurried down the net and I hurried down after him. We dropped to the floor to find Annabeth waiting looking very serious. "Oh, good you're here too, Sarah," Annabeth said looking at me nodding. I wondered what she could possibly want with me.

"What's up, Blondie?" Leo asked earning a glare from Annabeth.

"I was talking to Percy, trying to get anything I could possibly remember about the Athena Parthenos, when it occurred to me that I could know where it is, or at least something that will give us a clue," Annabeth said.

Leo furrowed his eyebrows, "Okay, so where is it?"

"It's this old city, Corinth. It's one of the oldest neighborhoods in Greece. It used to be a temple for Apollo. I know, I know, the Athena Parthenos is obviously Athena but this place is so old it may hold some clues to where the Athena Parthenos is or how we could find it. And, honestly, it's the best bet we have right now," Annabeth explained.

I looked at Annabeth trying to keep the anger out of my voice. "And I'm guessing you want me to take you there?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"I was hoping you could. Do you know where it is?" she asked.

"I've never been there," I admitted. "But I have heard of it and I know where to go."

"Perfect!" Annabeth smiled. Her smile was a little creepy. It was like an I-just-got-the-most-amazing-idea-but-we-may-die-in-the-process kinda smile. It had this unnerving underlining to it that gave you a really bad feeling.

"Okay, so what do you want me for?" Leo asked trying to figure out where he fit into this whole process.

"Well, with Sarah here now, we're eight instead of seven so I figured we could split up evenly, four go to look, four stay back to watch the ship. And none of the couples really wanted to go," she said shooting a look at Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel. I hadn't even realized that they were coupled up like that. I knew Percy and Annabeth were together, it was obvious when I saw them fight, but I hadn't spent enough time with the others to notice it. That must have been why Leo was complaining to himself when I first met him. All of his friends were paired up except him, he was the odd one out, the seventh wheel. "So since we needed one more person, I was hoping you wanted to go?" Annabeth asked looking at Leo hopefully.

Leo looked a little hurt that he was the last one to be asked but still happy that they at least wanted him to go, even if he was the last choice. The hurt quickly faded away and turned to only happiness. "Hell, yeah, let's do this!" he shouted with an enthusiastic grin. I wondered if the hurt had faded away so quickly because he was used to being the last pick, the last option. I felt a little annoyed at the others for making him feel that way. No one should ever feel lonely or like they don't matter. Being lonely sucks, I should know.

"Alright, everyone got their weapons?" Annabeth asked mostly to me. I nodded and gripped my bow tight. "Great, let's go," Annabeth said and led the way down the ship. Once we got on the ground everyone looked at me for where to go.

"Ummm, just give me a minute. I don't know where we are right now." They had taken me back to the ship unconscious so I didn't see where I was going. I looked around at my surroundings and finally figured out where I was. I didn't know the name but I knew the place. I nodded to them signaling that I knew my way and started walking. We walked for a while down alley ways and sidewalks. I tried my best to stay away from main streets since I figured it might be a little weird for people to see a couple of teenagers walking down the road with dangerous weapons. Although, in my years of living on the streets of Greece, I noticed that not many people actually acknowledged my bow. Maybe they didn't see it or just didn't care. They especially didn't see the monsters I fought. You would think that a hell hound would send people screaming away but they just walked passed like nothing was wrong. Maybe they only saw an angry dog.

I turned right and walked down a long, cracked road. Unless it was a main road, most of the streets where cracked in Greece. Maybe they kept it like that to keep up the ancient atmosphere or maybe they were just to lazy to fix it, whatever the reason it was extremely unnecessary. As the rode got worse I found myself staring down at the road focusing on where I was stepping and trying to make sure I didn't fall in an overly sized whole. Behind me Percy, Annabeth, and Leo kept tripping and they looked very unamused.

"Why are all these roads so destroyed?" Annabeth asked frustratingly as she tripped on a huge crack. Percy managed to catch her before she fell flat on her face.

I shrugged. "Dunno. This is worse than it usually is. It barely even looks like a road anymore," I noticed. It had basically just turned into dirt with big slabs of cracked cement in random places. I was trying to figure out if there was more dirt or cement at this point.

"Maybe that means we're getting closer," Percy offered in an optimistic voice.

"How much longer? My feet are starting to hurt," Leo complained. Me and Annabeth shot him a look. Leo just sulked and continued whining. "We should've came on some kind of vehicle. Why did we have to walk?" He asked Annabeth in an accusing voice.

Annabeth just glared at him. "Oh, stop complaining. Walking is good for you anyways."

"I should've built a car to bring us over here," Leo grumbled.

I rolled my eyes. "We should be there soon, Gods."

"How soon?" Leo started, "What is your definition of soon? Like five minutes or twenty minutes? Because my definition of soon is like thirty seconds-"

I cut him off. "-About 5 minutes!" I said getting annoyed.

"Actually, I have to agree with Leo here. This is a really long walk," Percy said.

"Oh my Gods, just please stop complaining we'll be there soon enough!" I yelled my patience running out. I was just as hot and tired of walking as them but complaining about it wasn't going to change anything.

Annabeth gave me a sympathetic look. "Boys," we both grumbled teach other rolling our eyes. We walked the rest of the way in silence and in about five minutes we had reached the ruins. We quickly walked down the maze of streets and reached the base of the old semi-building. I stopped there unsure of what to do next. I wasn't really sure of what Annabeth was looking for. I had never heard of the Athena Parthenos before so I wasn't sure what exactly to look for.

We stared up at the sky. "Well, I don't see a 50 foot statue," Leo said unhappily.

I stared at him with wide eyes. "A 50 foot statue? The Athena Parthenos is a 50 foot statue?" I asked in amazement.

"Well, it's closer to 40 feet but, yeah." Annabeth corrected.

I frowned. "I think we would see it if it were here," I noted.

Annabeth looked deep in thought. "Okay, so it's not here but there may be something to give us a clue of where it is," she mumbled mostly to herself.

"Well this was a waste," Leo said looking tired. His curly hair was stuck to his forehead, wet with sweat.

I looked over at Percy who was drenched in sweat. His stormy eyes scanned the ruins. "Annabeths right, there has to be something."

Leo sighed. "Oh, of course you agree with her, you're her boyfriend! Your opinion is biased," he complained. Everyone looked dead tired just from the walk but Annabeth and Percy refused to stop looking. I personally had no preference and did not care if they wanted to leave or not, I was only here as there GPS. I looked in a small puddle on the floor, my own hair was sticking up in crazy ways from the humidity and my face was red.

"C'mon, let's look around a little," Annabeth said walking up closer to the old columns.

"Ummm, I don't think we're supposed to go in there," I said eyeing the rope surrounding the large columns.

"It'll be fine. We'll be quick," she said ducking underneath the rope and walking into the rocks. Everyone else followed nervously.

We all stared up at the magnificent columns for a minute admiring them. "You have to admit," I said looking up and down the columns, "It's beautiful."

"I know, look at the lines and how they cross so perfectly. The fact that they were able to do this so long ago with little to no technology is incredible," Annabeth said her grey eyes trying to seize all that she saw in front of her.

"Alright, so what do you want us to look for?" Percy asked Annabeth. He was the first one able to look away from the ruins and focus back on the task at hand.

"Right," Annabeth said shaking her head to try and focus on what needed to be done. "Just try looking on the columns for any type of writing or clue that my say where the statue is."

We all circled the columns looking as closely as we could and trying to find anything that might hint at where it was. "Hey, Annabeth? What about numbers?" Leo called out crouching down and staring intently at one of the base rocks.

Annabeth ran over to where Leo was and looked at what he was pointing to. "What is it?" Percy asked walking over and I decided to join them.

"Some numbers, it looks like it could be coordinates," Annabeth said looking closer. "It's hard to make out though..."

"Well what can you make out so far?" I asked curiously trying to look over Annabeths shoulder but I couldn't see anything. Annabeth was too tall and the numbers were too small. Annabeth was really tall even compared to me and I was about 5'5 maybe 5'6. I wasn't sure I hadn't measured myself in a while.

"It looks like, 37.31...4? I'm going to assume that's a four. The first number is 37.3145. And then N for North." Annabeth said reading the number out loud.

Next to me Leo pulled out a pen and paper from his tool belt and wrote what she said down. "And the other number?"

"I'm trying but it's hard to read it," Annabeth said exasperated.

Leo stuck his hand in his tool belt and pulled something out. "Magnifying glass?" he asked handing it to Annabeth.

"Huh, yeah, okay," she said grabbing it from Leo's hand. She bent down close to the numbers and read them out loud. "26.5...4...4... another four? No wait, that's not a four. A nine?"

"Let me see," I suggested. Annabeth handed me the magnifying glass and I bent down and looked closely. It's a seven. The number is 26.5447 E." Next to me a tiny patch of grass caught on fire. I yelped and jumped back looking at Leo to see if he had done this. Leo shook his head and quickly stepped on the fire to put it out.

"Maybe it was from the magnifying glass," Percy suggested.

I shrugged. "Maybe." I looked at it warily and handed it back to Leo. Leo tucked it and the notepad back into his tool belt.

"So, are we done here?" I asked looking at Annabeth.

Annabeth looked a little regretful to leave. "I want to look around a little more to see if we can find anything else-"

"Hey! What are you doing? Get away from there!" I looked over to see security guard running over to us.

"I think we're done here," Percy said quickly backing up. We all nodded and started to run back down the hill of rocks, ducking underneath the rope. We ran down the hill and I looked back to see two security guards chasing us.

"Why are they still chasing us?" Leo yelled tumbling down the rocks. We had reached the bottom of the hill and was no longer close to the roped off area but they were still running after us. They should've stopped running after us by now.

"Run. Just run." I said. The fact that they were still following us bothered me. Something wasn't right. We all hurried down the hill trying not to trip and fall on the rocks when I heard a loud squak from behind. I looked back to see the two guards growing wings from their backs. "Um, guys," I said pulling on Percy's shirt to get him to look around.

They all turned around to see the same thing I saw. The guards were growing big, bat like wings. Their faces morphed into a snout with sharp talons and their nails turned to claws. "That's a problem," Leo said in a small voice. Next to me Percy gripped his sword and Annabeth brought out her knife. I figured they had the right idea and I grabbed my bow and loaded it with an arrow. I looked over and saw Leo clutching a three pound hammer. Seriously? The hammer again?

The bat like guards hissed at us with their sharp teeth barred. "What is that?" I asked. I never really ever knew what I fought, I just knew I had to kill them. I usually never thought about names.

"Furies," Percy said in an upset tone. I had a feeling he had a long history with these things.

"How do we defeat them?" I asked hopefully.

He shrugged. "Swing your sword at them." I rolled my eyes. Great, really helpful. The Furies ran at us and without thinking I shot an arrow. They dodged it and continued running at us.

I quickly loaded another arrow but I was starting to like running better. My fight or flight instincts had kicked in and right now they were saying flight. Still, I knocked another arrow. This time it hit one of their wings but just barely. It hissed and pulled the arrow out and broke it in half. Wow, what a waste of an arrow. That was a perfectly good arrow that I could have reused. I decided that it probably wouldn't appreciate me reprehending it for breaking the arrow and took a couple steps back in terror. The two Furies charged at us. One took on Percy and Annabeth, the other me and Leo. I shot an arrow at ours and it jumped in the air just barely missing it and began to hurdle down to us. Me and Leo quickly jumped out of the way and the Fury shot up right before it made impact with the ground. I knocked another arrow but it simply snatched it out of the air and threw it to the ground. I was starting to get very annoyed.

Next to me Percy and Annabeth seemed to be doing fairly well with their Fury. They had it pinned against a wall and it was already bleeding in a couple of places. Unfortunately for me and Leo, things weren't looking as good over here. The Fury lunged at Leo and we swung his hammer at it. He had somehow managed to light his hammer on fire and was now waving a blazing hammer through the air.

He swung down on it and hit its arm. I shot an arrow at his back while it was occupied with Leo. The fury moved right before it got to him and only grazed his back. He snarled in anger and swung at Leo's hammer knocking it out of his hand. I groaned. This thing seemed great at just barely missing the arrows. Maybe he was just really lucky. I wish I was that lucky.

I gave up on my bow for the moment and threw it on the ground along with my quiver. I pulled my sword out of my quiver and attacked the Fury. It spun around to face me and slashed its claws at my face. I leaned back and just barely missed them and swung my sword at it. It made contact with its arm and it howled in pain. Leo ran over and grabbed his hammer off the ground and hit the Fury in the back of its head. It seemed to anger him more than anything. I slashed my sword and managed to cut off one of its wings out of pure luck. It yelled in pain and lunged at me. I stuck my sword out but I was too late. Luckily Percy appeared next to me and he knocked the monster backward with his sword. Annabeth ran up next to us and joined our fight. They must have already killed their Fury. Show offs.

The Fury stood up and walked towards us. It seemed a little off balance with only one wing. It batted its wing and hit Leo in the face causing a curse from the small latino. Me, Percy, and Annabeth ran at the monster at the same time. The monster looked around unsure of which one of us to kill first. It settled on Percy and reached a clawed hand out. Percy stopped in his tracks and defended himself with his sword. Annabeth stabbed her small knife into its wing and made a tear. I ran around to the back of the monster and with a heave pushed my sword into its back. The monster cried in pain and fell to the floor before crumbling into a pile of gold dust.

I stared at the pile and picked up my sword. Leo stood up from the ground. "Why'd you guys come help us? We were doing just fine. We had everything completely under control," Leo said smoothing his hair down and extinguishing his flaming hammer.

"Oh, yeah, total control," Percy said sarcastically rolling his eyes. I walked over to my discarded bow and quiver and picked it up. I stuck my sword back into my quiver before throwing it over my shoulder.

I looked over at Leo who was smiling playfully, "Yeah, man, didn't you see my awesome moves? I totally had that monster down."

"Oh, yeah, sure, Leo, whatever you say," Percy said laughing.

Annabeth looked up at me and her eyes narrowed. For a minute I thought she was mad at me for something and I was trying to figure out what when she said, "Sarah, you're bleeding."

I looked at her surprised. "I am?" I asked and looked at my arms and torso. I didn't see any cuts.

"On your face," Annabeth said pointing at me and walking up, "Leo, hand me a towel."

Leo looked up to see me, worry on his face. He pulled out a small rag from his tool belt and tossed it to Annabeth. I watched as Annabeth walked up to me holding the rag. I didn't feel hurt. I wasn't in pain but Leo and Percy looked pretty worried. And then I felt a drop of blood on my left eye. I flinched and wiped it away but more seemed to come. "Here, come here," Annabeth said putting the small towel on my face. She gently dabbed and the pain started to set in. My face felt like it was on fire. "Is this from the Fury?"

"Y-yeah, it must be. I thought I dodged it but I guess I didn't," I stuttered. I could've sworn it had missed me. The adrenaline rushing through my body must have kept me from feeling any pain until the monster was gone.

"C'mon, let's start walking back. We need to get back, there's medical supplies on the Argo," Leo said coming over and standing next to me to make sure I was okay. I assumed the Argo was the ship. I had never thought to ask what the name of the ship was.

"Keep the rag on your face," Annabeth said and we walked down the long path back to the ship.
