Dria's POV:

It had been two hours since I'd killed that Chimera. Yes, I'd actually killed something. Was I supposed to feel guilty? Because I didn't, that thing was going to kill me.

I'd insisted on giving Piper and Annabeth some of my clothes because theirs were torn, stinking and frankly, disgusting.

Annabeth was wearing a grey T-shirt with a panda on it (closest thing I had to an owl), black jeans, and simple grey converse. She'd also insisted on borrowing my sunglasses and her hair was tied into a loose bun at the back of her head.

Piper was wearing a purple top with a smiley, dark jeans and huge lace-up boots which I didn't even know I had owned. Her straight dark brown hair was held away from her face with a quilted leather hairband.

I was wearing a yellow tank-top with my favourite blue cardigan over it, blue jeans and turquoise vans. On my head was the blue and grey beanie I never went anywhere without.

I was waiting (not so patiently) for my maid to set up the beds when Annabeth came racing up to me with Piper right behind her, "Dria," She said, panting. "There's been a change of plans. Something's happened at camp, we have to go now."

I nodded and took out my cell phone. "What are you doing?" Annabeth asked impatiently. I rolled my eyes, "Calling the car, unless you plan to walk to the airport." Piper grinned and Annabeth gave me a wry smile.

I frowned, "I have to go tell my mom. Come on." They followed her down the stairs. I burst into my mom's room and tried to put on my most frantic face. "Mom," I said, huffing, "The camp director just got a heart attack and died, we have to go now."

My mom sighed, "Can't it wait till tomorrow morning?" I shook my head vigorously.

"Fine." She grumbled, "But pack first."

"No need." Annabeth said from behind me. Then she realised she'd blurted it out and she blushed. "I mean, they'll go to waste. Dria will get new clothes there. My mother's eyes rose in surprise. "Very well." She said at last. I grinned, "Thank you mom," and ran out.

"Oh my god." Piper said grinning, "You made Mr D die. You're my new favourite superhero."

The car was waiting for us. Once we had all piled in, I said, "Okay, someone has to explain right now. What happened?"

Piper bit her lip, "It's bad news." I nodded, motioning for her to go on. "A prophecy for a quest has been issued." My eyebrows furrowed, "What's a quest?"

Annabeth explained, "When the God's want something done, they issue a quest for the demigods. It's an honour to be chosen." Her tone was reassuring but her eyes looked nervous.

"I don't get it. What's the big deal." I asked, still confused.

Annabeth bit her lip and continued, "I talked to my brother at camp, and he told me the exact time of the quest. It was issued the exact moment you shot the Chimera in the heart. It's also about a daughter of Apollo. I'm betting your one."

"Wait." I said, "Slow down. You're telling me that I'm a daughter of Apollo? And, that this prophecy is for me? But, I…" I broke off because I had nothing to say. That seemed so unfair.

"Well," Piper said, "We're not sure. Do you sing?" I nodded, "Not able to say anything."

"You know what?" Annabeth said, "Let's not jump to conclusions. Let's wait till we get to camp, alright?"

We nodded, just as the car parked at the airport.

"Okay," Annabeth said, all business, "I'll go buy tickets, Piper, go and buy food," Piper nodded and ran off, "and Dria, take this." She held out a golden coin and continued, "Go to the nearest water fountain, toss this in and say, 'Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering. Show me Percy Jackson, Camp Half-Blood, Long Island."

That seemed completely bizarre to me but I nodded. "Then?" I asked.

"Tell him that we're on our way but we will take half a day. Tell Seaweed Brain not to worry." With that, she ran off. "Wait, who's Seaweed Brain?" I yelled but she was already out of earshot.

I sighed and ran off to find a water fountain. I repeated her instructions and saw two boys fighting through the water. I almost yelped in surprise, "Um, Percy Jackson?" I called out. Both the boys stopped to look at me.

One of them had raven hair and green eyes and the other one had golden hair and grey eyes, like Annabeth.

"Yes?" The raven haired boy said, "You are?"

"That doesn't matter, Annabeth told me to tell you that we'll be at Camp in half a day." The guy with the blonde hair raised his eyebrows, "So, you're the one?"

"Excuse me?" I said, dumbfounded.

"I meant…" The boy started to say but the raven haired boy, Percy said, "Never mind. Anything else?"

I nodded, "Yeah, um, she told me to tell Seaweed Brain, whoever that is, to not worry." Percy went red and blonde boy burst out laughing.

"Um, what did I say?" I asked cautiously. The blonde guy grinned, "Seaweed Brain is Annabeth's name for Percy."

I was going to reply when I heard Piper's voice shout, "Dria, help." I frowned, "What now?" The blonde guy gave me a tense look, "Go." He said and he moved his hand through the water and it went blank.

I turned, ready to come face to face with some hideous monster but it was only Piper, her hands full with food.

"Why did you shout?" I asked, looking around and expecting a monster to pop out. She just shrugged, "I needed help to carry the food."
