Celosia had headed off to find Riptide but to be honest with you I think she wanted some space. I looked at Annabeth and still felt so glad she was safe.

"Do you like her?" I finally said to Annabeth. Annabeth thought for a minute and said,

"I haven't really got a problem with her and after all she did save our life." Now that was true I should be thanking her for getting me out safely but at the same time she was a daughter of Zeus and I didn't exactly see eye to eye with him.

"Should we just leave go and find Tyson and head back to camp?" I asked. Annabeth stared at me like I was a bit insane.

"Maybe, she is goodness knows how much older than us but she is our kind even if she is you know a werewolf. So I think we should bring her back to Camp Half-Blood." As usual Annabeth had thought of probably the right plan. Behind me there were footsteps and Celosia walked passed chucking me the pen that was Riptide. I looked at Annabeth she nodded,

"Celosia you need to come with us to… Camp Half-Blood." I said. She didn't look at me,

"I guessed you were gonna ask me and I'll say yes but I'm not going anywhere near Thalia" her voice died away. Annabeth looked at me like what the hell have you done.

"Ok but how are we going to get there, Celosia could you ask your dad to well help us." Annabeth asked

"It would be nice to help but we sort of fell out when Thalia died. So that won't work. Percy could ask." Celosia said. They were both looking at me no; I nodded and headed to this giant river towards the front of the clearing.

Hey dad could you help we need to get to Camp Half-Blood so… before I finished 3 water horses came up to the surface of the water. Annabeth ran over with her backpack, well stumbled over and Celosia was behind her.

I clambered onto the middle one and Annabeth went onto the right.

I turned round to Celosia she was eyeing the horse carefully,

"Come on its only a water horse" said Annabeth, Celosia looked at her,

"It's the 'water' bit I'm scared about" I sighed it was only water it wouldn't kill her.

"Its just water" I murmured. She heard me, but nevertheless she leapt onto the water horse. She looked really annoyed when the wolf jumped on and splashed her with lots of water.

"You would be scared if the God of the Sea didn't like your dad." she shuddered. To be honest with you I can see where she's coming from when I went on a plane to get to Olympus I was freaked out every second. But I wasn't going to admit she was right.

It was so nice to be back on the water again I felt so much stronger and happier. It was also pretty funny to see Celosia try to not get wet, I pretty sure my dad was just teasing her it wasn't as funny though when a giant whirlwind started chasing me. I guess it was Celosia's way to get even.

Annabeth seemed happy as well she sort of looked her old self especially when Camp Half-Blood was in sight. We jumped onto the beach and unsurprisingly Celosia was first off.

"Come on this way" Annabeth said. Celosia followed her as we walked up to the big house. I looked at them then it hit me where was Tyson? We didn't find him. I didn't have any more time to think before I heard a scream from half-blood hill.

"Annabeth come on" I shouted we ran up to the hill and saw a bull attacking someone- Clarisse. I pulled out Riptide and ran towards the bull, and then I heard other shouts something from Celosia and something from Tyson he was outside the boundary line. How did he get here?

"Tyson just stay there don't get hurt." I shouted Annabeth caught up with me,

"No we need him to help us we won't defeat the Colchis Bulls by ourselves." Why was she saying this?

"He's just human he survived those fireballs by luck, come on, Tyson will get fried!" I knew not to question Annabeth too much but this was ridiculous she wanted to let Tyson be burnt?

"Percy…" Celosia shouted I wasn't listening especially to her, I ran up to half-blood hill where Clarisse was. She was shouting at everyone trying to get them to attack but only a few would listen to her.

Annabeth ran forward and distracted one of the bulls then turned invisible completely confusing it. Then Celosia as a wolf ran forward and leapt on to its back. It was then like a vicious game of Buckaroo with Celosia using all her strength to stay on the bull while trying to destroy it.

"Keep it straight!" shouted Clarisse in full body armour but her and her team wouldn't be able to hold off the bull forever. Just then Celosia got flung of the bull and landed in a heap. She was limping away heading over to Annabeth. That meant the other bull wasn't being distracted so it turned round to charge at Clarisse.

"Watch your back!" I screamed. I should have distracted it myself because that startled everyone. The first bull started to charge at the front and crashed into Clarisse and her soldiers. Everyone scattered and Clarisse got the full force of it. The second bull was about to charge aiming straight for Clarisse I ran and pulled her out the way as the second bull past.

"Get off Percy" yelled Clarisse. I let go and she dropped into a heap by Thalia's Tree. I ran forwards with Riptide out towards the two bulls. Bad Idea. The first bull charged knocking me off my feet and giving me a huge gash down my face. The bull turned around next to it was the other bull they were both getting ready to charge.

"Tyson help Percy!" Annabeth shouted. On the top of the hill Tyson shouted

"Can't help- can't get through!"

"I, Annabeth Chase, give you permission to enter camp." The hillside shook as the sky roared with fury. Suddenly Tyson was there in front of me shouting "Percy" The bull charged yet again it knocked me of my feet. I twisted my ankle or broke it.

"No!" I screamed. Tyson was being engulfed in fire he had been turned into ashes. But then the fire disappeared Tyson was still there with not a single scorch mark on him. He smacked the bull and where he did was a giant crater in the bronze skull of the beast. It fell backwards and moved its legs limply then it stopped. Annabeth rushed over to me taking of her cap as she did so.

"You alright?"

"I'm fine but what about that other bull?" I asked she pointed over her shoulder. Clarisse had stabbed it through its head and Celosia had pulled its leg off. Yet again it fell and came to a halt. Clarisse looked victorious and once Celosia changed back to human form she did to.

Clarisse stomped over to me and shouted, "What the hell were you doing Percy Jackson! I had it all under control!" she turned around but then turned back, "And don't you ever try to save my again! Curse you!"

I looked from Annabeth to Tyson both of them tried to with hold giggles as Clarisse went to check her soldiers. Annabeth stood up and helped me up.

'But Tyson you didn't die! How?" I stuttered.

"Ignore the mist and look closely." Whispered Annabeth. I did and he looked normal… no he did have some eyes… but not two just one.

"A Cyclopes." I gasped. "But the fire how?"

"He's a Cyclopes remember they're immune to fire!" said Annabeth impatiently. She dragged me up to the top of half-blood hill where Celosia was. Celosia was standing in front of Thalia's Tree; obviously Thalia was her half-sister.

"What… What happened?" Annabeth asked quietly. Clarisse stepped forward to speak,

"Someone poisoned it." Celosia dropped down on her knees and picked up part of the fallen pine leaves. Instead of it being bright green it was orange and yellow.

"Who'd have done this?" I asked. Celosia looked up at me tears in her eyes,

"Isn't it obvious. Luke." She spat as his name with such bitterness in her voice I was unsure whether I was talking to the same person. But of course it had to be Luke. Who else?
