hi guys, we will be brief as nobody reads the authors note. Sorry about the useless chapter vedi put, she can be really annoying. COUGH COUGH to vedi. We will try to update quicker than we have as we are getting ready for our first day at senoir school v.v.v. . Also we'd like to ask the guest who commented, why no more stories? But thank you very much for your compliment. We might change the summary as we know it isnt that good. READ ON!

"Aaargh whose attacking!"
I looked round to realise that no-one was attacking, it was just my alarm going off.
Thankful that Isaac wasnt here i crawled out of bed and into the kitchen.
Half an hour later i was walking towards αμβροσία νέκταρ, my apron stuffed into my bag with my purse. I was still tired after staying up on my laptop... Gods I had almost forgotten about yesterday. It was just so strange. My mind felt like it was trying to remember something SO important. But it was- stolen? Out of reach? I didnt get it. Before long i realised i was there. Walking in I went out to the back and put my apron on before grabbing my pad and walking to the front.
I was just serving an old lady with grey wiry hair and seventies glasses when the door opened and a line of people filed in before sitting down at the biggest table. It was obvious it was the same people as yesterday. Percy, annabeth, jason, nico, hazel and urm the other ones. I shook my head and walked to the kitchen.
Isaac wasnt here today, he worked in mellie's, a department store on the other side of town. I got jake to make the coffee and walked back out. After serving another customer, i couldnt put it off so i went over to the group. A few of them recognised me but didnt comment. I swear nico looked at me like he knew me. Actually i thought i did recognise him. He looked like no one id mix with today though. I recalled sadly that i didnt use to be hanging out with popular kids. I still was a bit quirky though, that deffinitely had some uses.
I was walking over to the kitchen when a bloke blocked my way and said,
"Excuse me but you aren't supposed to go in there." He spoke like english wasnt his first language and his eyes looked a bit weird, like glazed over. I hoped he wasnt on drugs.
"I'm sorry I am, I work here," like duh.
"No."
"Er, please get out of the way, I need to work."
"No you really don't" this guy was creeping me out. I realised the room had got quieter. The ten teens had stopped talking. I thought I knew why.
Then I really had lost it. The guy's eyes went black, like completely, whites, iris and all and he hissed, just like a snake. I started backing away.
Half conciously i remember hearing a voice behind me whispering.
"But how can she see that, she's mortal," but i wasnt concentrating on that, NO way. He clicked his fingers and stepped back, then just dissapeared. Just as if he melted into shadow. Then i really knew i was a lunatic, i was even prepared to hand me over to the manager saying i was halucinating and i should be locked up until-
Rainbows and sparkly ponies? 'Fraid not.
My day got worse. My LIFE got worse. It was tugged away and thrown into a washing machine, me included for the ride. A huge black mass with red eyes and glinting teeth smashed through the window and pounced onto me. Me, in a cafe in the middle of new york getting attacked by a dog from hell the size of a six seater. What are the odds?
I just kinda froze hearing shouts from the group and chairs upturned and such. Luckily, freezing was the best thing to do. The dog catapulted over me, spraying me with dog drool, disgusting breath and flecks of blood from his teeth. my mind was totally freaking out. But somehow, i started to think of my past. My days at y academy getting bullied and kicked around, moving to military school, getting kicked out, finding isaac, moving again and basically earning a reputation.
But i just got angry. I had finally started moving in the right direction and then a physco guy and hound from hell start attacking me in a cafe and i just got furious. I crouched slightly waiting for the hellhound to move, and as it pounced again, raking his claws to wound me, i rolled to the side, grabbed a chair and smashed it against his side. Sprinting into the kitchen i grabbed a bottle of hot sauce, squirted into the oncoming dog's eyes and neatly scooped up a kitchen knife and stabbed the hellhound in the neck. Suddenly, i felt my necklace getting warm, i brought it out. It was an mini bronze archery target, bow and arrow. Holding it in my hand it shimmered and transformed into a long bronze knife. Knowing my day couldnt get any weirder. I gripped it and smacked the hellhound (which had know recovered) between the eyes and then stabbed it in the belly.
Great timing, my manager rushed in from the shop front just in time to see me holding a knife above the body of a dead dog. He yelled at me about me destroying his property and killing a man's dog and that i was a bad influence and that i should NEVER EVER come back and i just stood there. There was blood on my hands and my hair was undone. Scratches in my jeans and my apron was in shreds so i let it drop onto the floor.
I stared at the dog and was it just my imagination or did it shimmer and dissapear leaving a fang behind? I picked it up anyway. Before long after my manager had shouted himself hoarse about me being a freak and a killer and money and all other stuff, flames had flickered up the beams of the kitchen. I felt like a freak lunatic. My bloody hands were trembling. I sprinted to the front.
Before i went out the door, i glanced at the group. They were scratched and unconcious, heaped on the floor or propped up against the wall. Percy was infront of annabeth. Nico was by himself. Before i could dash, he stirred and looked at me. Recognisation flickered in his eyes. Before he could say anything i ran out the door, now on one hinge only, sprinting from the ruined building, flames flickering behind me and sparks flying, police cars and press pulling up to investigate.
I was a freak. My head was spinning. I was still holding the fang. Everything had happened so quickly. I didnt know what to do so I just ran.
Hazel's p.o.v
I didnt know what had happened. Everything had happened so quickly. The girl had run away. Flames leapt up from the building, touching the setting sun. Nico had been the first to wake. He seemed just as shaken to me as everyone else which was strange. Normally he doesnt get shaken. He is even more subdued than normall. Maybe it was the hellhound but I still dont get it, or him, or anything. The others seemed ashamed that they had, well, been unconcious during a fight. Percy and annabeth had been the last to fall, most of them knocked down by the hellhound as it leapt over the girl.
Leo and jason had been hit by shrapnel and then finally percy and annabeth were knocked down by the shrapnel and a falling beam caused by the hellhounds tail. Hazel knew that the hellhound must have been horrible for them even more than the others because of tartarus. They didnt speak and seemed almost gaunt. She worried even more for the girl. They didnt know anything about her. When they asked the manager for her he shouted about her being a freak and a lawbreaker. They left soon after that.
Nobody spoke as we were driving back to camp. I held frank's hand and he gripped it, smiling at me. I love his smile. We decided to wait until tommorow to tell chiron as it is very late.
