Okay, I'm sorry I left you guys on a cliff hanger( At least its its not like mark of Athena ) And some people don't like hazey ( ship name alert) but I wanted to make this more interesting than it already was. I'm thinking about bringing in some older characters and , nope! I'm not spoiling it. Well , anyways lets get started!

P.S. Cassie doesn't know about Frank not being her actual dad. Just to put that out their

P.P.S. I forgot to say that 1. its summer and cass isn't skipping/homeschooled and 2. they live in California by C.J. not in the camp but in close proximity to it.

Cassie: She was tired and fell asleep in the car. Once she got home and woke up she was surprised that 3 people were standing at her door. 2 boys were definitely twins with messy dirty-blonde hair and a spread of freckles across their faces. The other guy had hair almost as bright as the sun and tan skin. He was almost glowing, it seemed.

"Hazel!" the twins came running to hazel and hugged her

" Keys please." she said with her hand out.

" Aww, come on your no fun." one of them said handing her a pair of keys.

"Cass go pack your suitcase." Hazel said to Cassie

" But I just got home!"

"I know, but umm, I have a surprise for you! your going to see your aunt Annabeth and uncle Percy!"

" okay." Cassie said with a half smile. She liked going surfing with Percy and helping Annabeth with her work plans( she was an architect)

Once she was done packing she went outside where a grey pickup was parked.

"Bye Cassie! I'll see you in a few weeks." Hazel said hugging her.

"Bye. " she said sadly. How did she know that these people weren't taking her to him. she wasn't sure who he was but he wasn't good. that's what her instincts told her.

" Hi! I'm Travis! " one of the twins said" and this is my brother , Connor." the other one waved.

"hi. I'm Cassie and I'm gonna go listen to music." Cassie said sarcastically. She hopped into the truck and took out her laptop. She started watching her favorite movie , Pitch Perfect, until the other guy, Will, as her mom called him hopped into the backseat with her.

He leaned over to watch it and she unplugged her headphones so he could listen.

" You like pitch perfect?" she asked him

" Yeah, you?" Will asked her

" Yeah ,its like my favorite movie "

" no way, mine too!"

Halfway through the movie they sang the entire Riff Off which annoyed the hell out of Connor. Then as Will sang just the way you are as Cassie sang just a dream.

"Okay , please turn that off , we're stopping to eat." Travis said from the drivers seat. Cassie didn't realize that they made it out of the city. She knew the trip would take a few days since Percy and Annabeth lived in NY but time went by fast. they pulled into a diner parking lot. A big oak tree shaded the restaurant . Cassie almost immediately saw something shiny in it.

" hold on a sec" she said as she ran to go climb it.

" Cassie wait!" Connor called after her.

The lowest branch was pretty easy to get to which was suprising considering its size. A rhythm started forming in her head on where to go. Up, left, Up, down a few branches. She saw a birds nest that had something sparkly in it. That was what she was after.

When she saw them she was amazed. Two earrings with dolphins carved into the Bronze metal they were made of. The next object was a ring made of the same metal from before. wait, where there words on it? 'The Hunter Awaits' is what it said.

Cassie hopped down from tree to show off her new bling.

" Sweet, I found this ring and earrings. They were in that tree. I wonder if some bird found them." Cassie said

" Careful, They might steal your stuff." Will pointed at the twins

"Not if I steal their stuff first." Cassie pulled out two wallets stuffed with weird yellow/gold coins.

Just then, she instinctively caught a poison dart aimed for her head. Her ring turned into a shield and one of her earrings came off and fell into her hand, turning into a full length sword.
