Since I wasn't able to update in almost a month. So here's another chapter!
Disclaimer found on prologue.
It has been a week since Annabeth moved to the Big House. She kept thinking how this would even help. 'I mean, if they got the last victim there. How am I supposed to be even more protected? And why can't Mr. D just find the culprit and stop all these nonsense?' Annabeth thought.
Annabeth's head wasn't really focusing at the task at hand.
"Watch it! Are you trying to kill me?" a random, bypassing demigod shouted. The arrow that was supposed to be aimed at the target landed right next to his head.
"Sorry!" Annabeth apologized "Wasn't paying attention!"
"Yea, well next time you should!" with that the camper left.
Annabeth scowled "Damn ADHD."
"Annabeth you okay?" Malcolm asked.
Annabeth smiled "Yeah! Just thinking too much..."
Malcolm just sighed "C'mon, let's finish this archery class."

It was supposed to be simple. Find the notebook, give it to his annoying half-brother and get his guitar back.
What Dimitri didn't count for was several rabid monkeys chasing him courtesy of the Stolls.
"This wouldn't have happened if Evion gave me my damn guitar back." he growled, a notebook clutched in his hand.
He would've killed the monkeys, but then he needed to clean the mess.
"This is too far Stolls." he scowled.
He heard a soft melodious tune playing. He wanted to stop but then the monkeys were going to get him. He thought about how many of them were chasing him. 4? 5?
He heard the screeching of the monkeys. 'That's it. I've beaten monsters scarier than this.' he thought. He stopped and grabbed the nearest thing he had, which was to say Evion's notebook.
Once the first monkey jumped near to him, he swung it like a baseball bat. The monkey flew away and bumped into a tree trunk. It did not get up. Two more approached him. He kicked them both in the air and hit them with the notebook. They were both knocked unconscious.
The last one bared it's fangs. "C'mon George, get me." [From that movie, with the monkey named George]
The monkey ran at him at its fastest speed, and then leaped. Dimitri swung the notebook but it missed and the monkey bit his forearm. 'Crap.' he thought 'Going to need some nectar on that.'
He grabbed the monkey and threw him at a tree. The monkey stood up and leapt for Dimitri again. But this time Dimitri hit him harder. Landing on the tree, the monkey did not get back up.
Dimitri was panting and sweating. He stopped and took a deep breath and listened if he could hear the melody again. No sound but the chattering of campers away from the forest.
"Now to find that insufferable idiot." he trudged his way to find Evion.

She smiled flirtatiously. "Are you sure Percy?" she said in what she thought a seductive voice. "You don't want to go out with me this Friday?"
Percy stood there awkwardly "Uh... No thanks Stacy, I have a girlfriend already."
"But she can't be prettier than me." To prove her point, she flipped her long dyed blonde hair.
"Trust me Stacy, even the end of the world won't make me stop loving her." Percy laughed 'It has tried.' Percy added in his head.
"I'll give you some time to think about it." with that Stacy left.
"Percy, dude! I cannot believe you just turned Stacy, the prettiest girl in our age group, down for a date." his friend, Kyle said. Kyle was the person who led Percy around Goode on his first week. Kyle had spiky blond hair and gray eyes, which led Percy to automatically ask him if he was a son of Athena. Kyle just looked at him strangely then just shrugged it off.
"Meh, my girlfriend's prettier." Percy said nonchalantly.
"I don't even think you have a girlfriend. I mean you never even showed me her picture!"
"You wanna see?"
Kyle nodded his head so fast that it looked like it was about to fall. Percy shrugged and took out his wallet. He showed Kyle Annabeth's picture.
It was taken just after arriving at the Roman camp. She was in mid- laugh. Her eyes were closed. Her blonde hair, which was in its usual ponytail, was flying away a bit. She was punching Percy, who was grinning to see his Wise girl back, by the arm. It was only the two of them. Sadly, Percy was still in his purple toga.
"Dude, why are you wearing a purple curtain here? And you're right! She is hotter than Stacy!"
"Remember she's MY girlfriend. And don't ask about that. Someone told me to do it."
RIIIIIIINGGGGG
"Crap! That's the warning bell, we're going to be late!" he dragged Percy to their classroom.
Percy just laughed and put the picture back in his wallet.
-Line Break-
"Hello Kira, nice to see you again." Annabeth greeted once she saw Kira. Kira turned around, smiled and said "Nice to see you too Annabeth."
"You know, I've hardly seen you around camp. I wonder when you arrived here? If you don't mind me asking."
"Just a few months ago, I guess." she shrugged and grinned.
"You're alot friendlier than most Ares children. And more polite."
"Hehe," Kira scratched the back of her neck "Mum always told me to be polite to others even if they annoy me."
Beep. Beep.
Kira looked at her watch and her eyes widened. "Sorry Annabeth, I need to go!"
"See you Kira!"
'Who exactly is Kira?' Annabeth thought. 'Even few months ago I didn't see her around camp. Who exactly is she?'
-Line Break-
"Hey Clarisse, do you know anything about your half-sister Kira?" Annabeth asked, curious about Kira.
"That polite one who always wears semi-formal clothes?" Clarisse grunted, Annabeth nodded. "What about her?"
"I haven't seen her around camp."
"Well that's because she usually coops herself up in the cabin, reading. Or in the forest with that weird Apollo kid."
"Who?"
"How should I know... All I know is he clicks his tongue alot."
Annabeth started thinking about who could that be. But she was shaken out of her stupor when Clarisse asked.
"Why do you want to know about Kira anyway?"
"Just curious... How long has she been at camp?"
"Couple of months. She was covered in blood when she arrived and she was shaking. Don't know what happened to her on the way her."
"Thanks Clarisse, for the information."
"No problem Annabeth. Hey Chris! You promised a spar with me!" she shouted, running after her boyfriend.
"Who exactly are you mysterious Kira..."
