Chapter Two: Rescue Mission and Surprises

"There will be a quest," Percy continued. "And since Zoe Rose is the best sword fighter in Camp Starshine, she has the privilege of leading this quest."

"No fair!" Tayana screamed. "She is only the best sword fighter because she beat me today!"

"Ah but she beat you. No more arguing. Zoe Rose is leading the quest. Zoe Rose, one person can come with you. Who will it be?" Percy asked.

I beamed. "Lilly. You should know, Percy." I stated.

"All right," Percy stated innocently. "You two will leave two days from now. You will spend tomorrow training. I personally will be getting all of your supplies ready for your quest. Okay now everyone, you have five minutes to finish eating, then Zoe Rose and I are going to have a sword fight. Everyone is invited to watch."

"What!" I screeched. "I never agreed to this! PERCY!"

"You need to get practice sword fighting, Zoe Rose." Lilly tried to calm me down.

"So do you Lillian. If you think I need practice, then why don't you fight him?" I growled.

Lilly backed up. She knew she had crossed a line when I called her Lillian. "Sorry." Lilly squeaked.

"Forget it. Just tell Percy that we will sword fight at seven PM instead of when we are done eating or I won't fight at all." I told Lilly.

As Lilly ran to tell Percy what I said, I sighed. I wished I didn't have to sword fight Percy. I picked at the food on my plate and thought about the strategy I used to defeat Tayana. I sighed again.

I looked up to see Lilly running back to me. "Percy said that he would sword fight me first then at seven PM he will sword fight you." Lilly told me.

"That sounds good. Then you can practice sword fighting against Percy. You really need it." I smiled slyly.

"Zoe Rose!" Lilly responded smiling. "It's not like either of us is going to actually win the duel."

"I may surprise you Keys." I snickered. "Lillian Keys is going to win!" I sang getting up off the picnic table bench and dancing.

"Oh great, you're nervous, which means you act like you're hyper. It also means that you're going to-" Blech. "Throw up. Yeah. Zoe Rose, are you okay?" Lilly asked.

"Ooh," I cried weakly. I sank to the ground.

"Percy Jackson!" Lilly yelled turning to the table Percy was sitting at. "Zoe Rose just puked!"

He jumped off his seat and came hurrying over. "Is she okay?" Percy asked.

"No she's alright. I just called you over to see your pretty face." Lilly said sarcastically.

"Sorry." Percy squeaked innocently. "We need to get her to the hospital wing."

I stood up suddenly and spoke. "I'm fine. But, Percy," I turned towards him, "I'm ready to sword fight. If I win, I will sword fight you again. If I lose you sword fight Lilly. Okay?"

"Sounds good, but why are you suddenly not sick?" Percy questioned.

"I-I d-don't know." I stammered. "I guess I'm just not scared to duel you anymore."

"Go get your armor on and meet me at The Hexagon." Percy ordered. The Hexagon was the sword fighting arena and also where I beat Tayana earlier.

"Meet you there in five minutes. 'Kay?" I told Percy.

"Sure, why not." Percy turned to face Lilly. "Lilly get your armor on too, just in case you have to sword fight me."

"But-but…" Lilly stuttered, and Percy glared at her and she sighed. "Okay Mr. Camp Director, sir." We all turned and ran to get our armor on.

I almost fell running on the dirt road to my cabin, but it felt good and the wind was streaming through my hair. The sun was beginning to set and it was beautiful. That's when I almost tripped. I was gazing at the sunset.

Once I got to my cabin, I changed into a pair of ripped blue jeans, and a black Camp Starshine long-sleeved shirt, plus a pair of splatter painted sneakers. And finally my armor, bronze armor that was old and scratched from sword fighting everyone in camp. As I was leaving I grabbed my lucky sword that Athena and Aphrodite gave. I sighed. Now I had to fight.
