Sorry for the long wait, but I had to get ready for the dinner tonight. Yes I know, it's a little early to get ready for dinner, but I had to be ready before my sister got back or she would have killed me.

Then I just learned how to play cups with four cups….in five minutes! it took me another five minutes though to not mess up, or make one of the cups go flying across the room.

Oh, yeah, I just remembered im suppose to be writing a story…whoops….well here you go!

"While I'm here," I continued after she finished laughing. "I need to replace my phone. I lost it."

"Name?" She asked.

"Madison Greer."

She typed on her computer in front of her.

"You get a free replacement if you have a piece of your phone with you," She said.

I nodded and handed her the battery. One eyebrow went up.

"You lost your phone, but you managed to get the battery before losing it?" She asked skeptically.

"Yes, ma'am," I said simply.

She shook her head slowly and muttered something under her breath.

She typed something else.

"Do you want the same number?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"Go and pick out the phone you want, and then come and tell me," She said.

"The Galaxy S4," I said not moving.

"Okay," She said dragging out the syllables.

She went through a door that was behind her, and reappeared a second later.

She opened the box with my new phone in it, and turned it on, and activated it for me.

"Do you want the free sim card that comes with the plan?" She asked.

I nodded and she grabbed something from the drawer in front of her. Then she activated that for me too.

When she was done she handed me my new phone.

"Thanks," I said.

We left and headed back to his place. We kept to the shadows, making sure my mother wasn't hiding somewhere. When we came into view of Percy's place I looked for my mothers car, but it wasn't there.

We went back upstairs. Sally was sitting on the couch, looking worried. When she saw us, she got up and hugged us both.

"I don't think it would be a good idea for you to go to school Monday," Sally said.

I nodded, fully understanding what she meant.

I pulled my jeans off, and we went to sleep

Annabeth and Grover came over after breakfast, and Percy and I told them everything that had happened last night.

"I think you should go to camp early," Annabeth said when we finished our story.

"I cant just stop going to school," I said.

"You don't need to," Sally said.

"What ever you learn in school wont really help you in camp," Sally said.

I looked at her.

They continued talking, and I zoned out to my own thoughts.

"I'll go early," I said making everyone jump because I hadn't talked in a while. "But I have some things at home that I need."

"It's not smart to go to your house," Sally said.

"In my….predicament I have at home, I know how to sneak in and out," I said.

She looked torn in either letting me go or not letting me.

"Only if you take them," She said pointing to Annabeth, Percy, and Grover.

I sighed.

"I had a feeling you were going to say that," I mumbled.

Grover drove all of us to my house. I told him to park about a block away, so Leona wouldn't see us.

Grover stayed in the car in case we needed a quick get away.

When we got close to my house we started hiding behind bushes, and anything else we could hide behind.

"The car's not there," Percy whispered.

I looked at the house. It didn't look as if any lights were on, and he was right, there was no car.

"That doesn't mean she's not home," I whispered back. "Follow me."

We snuck to the back of the house.

"Percy, you stay, and be look out," I whispered.

By the look on his face I could tell he was about to argue.

"I don't exactly want you to help me pack my things," I whispered.

His face kind of fell.

"Me neither," He whispered.

"Signal if you see or hear my mom," I whispered.

"How?"

"I don't know. I think your smart enough to figure it out," I whispered.

Annabeth laughed.

"Maybe," She whispered.

I smiled.

I climbed up the tree we were hiding behind, and Annabeth followed.

She kept grunting, and whispering things like "I hate climbing trees. Ow, you stupid branch."

That kept me smiling.

We made it the roof, and I opened the window that was the attic.

We climbed through quietly.

We stood there, letting our eyes adjust to the lack of light.

I motioned for Annabeth to follow when I could see better.

We went to the back wall, and then crawled through the vent that was there.

We came to the first vent that was under us. It was my bedroom.

I picked up the vent slowly and quietly, and peeked into my room. The light was off, and the only light in the room was coming in through the window.

I went past the vent, then turned onto my back and put my feet through the hole. I grabbed the side of the hole, and slowly let myself down onto my bed, that was underneath the vent.

I landed on my bed with no noise, and moved out of the way just as Annabeth came through the vent.

I grabbed two duffle bags that I had in my closet.

"What do you want me to do?" Annabeth asked in a breathless whisper.

I pointed the my clothes hanging in the closet. She nodded and started putting them in one of the duffle bags.

I went through my drawers getting what I needed.

I packed some pictures that I had, and some shoes.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom," I whispered.

"I don't think now is a good time to use the bathroom," Annabeth whispered.

"I have a couple things I need that are in there."

She nodded, and I opened my bedroom door slowly and quietly.

I peeked my head through to see the hall was empty. I went to the first door to my left. It was the bathroom.

I grabbed my toothbrush, toothpaste, my brush, and some other….things, then went back to my room.

I put my things in the duffle bag.

"Ready?" I asked.

She grabbed one duffle bag, and I grabbed the other.

I pointed to my door, and she nodded.

We snuck through the hall, and past my mom's room, and down the stairs.

I notice she steps every spot I did. That was smart because this house was creaky, and I knew all the safe spots to step.

We were going past the living room when a light came on.

My head whipped to my right, and saw Leona sitting in a chair with a big butcher's knife in her hand.

"I knew you would come here," She said standing up.

So I hope you liked the chapter. I just found out that I might be leaving after the dinner thingy I have to go to tonight, but that's not a absolute thing, but that might mean this is my last chapter.

Nice place to leave you hanging…don't cha think?

Lol….i'll try to do another chapter, but right now I have to go and pack.
