Shannon was walking through the forest with Charlotte, enjoying the scenery. She had been at Camp Half-Blood for a week, and was finding the company of the nymph enjoyable (who doesn't?).
"I mean," Charlotte ranted on. "Those stupid Alpacas just think they're all that, with their fur and affinity to spit at people! The most majestic creature this Earth has seen is definitely a Llama. I should know, I've been around for a while." Shannon smiled and made a mental note to give Llama an Alpaca poster. There was a rustle in a bush behind them, and both of the girl's glanced at it.
"What was that?" Shannon asked. The nymph shrugged and they started to walk again. As the girls got farther into the woods, the rustles seemed more frequent and were following behind them. The nymph started to sweat as the rustle came from next to her foot. Shannon stopped walking and turned to the bush.
"If this is some kind've prank, I want the person in the bush to know that I am a personal friend of the Hermes Hell Spawns." she said, trying to get whoever was following them to leave them alone. The rustles didn't stop, and now both girls were scared that it wasn't a camper following them. Shannon got down on her knees and started to reach towards the bush, but Charlotte grabbed her arm.
"What the Hades do you think you're doing?!" she asked. "Whatever is in there could want to eat us!" Shannon shrugged the arm off and started to reach to the bush again. The girl gulped as she pulled aside a part of the branch and stuck her head in.
Charlotte watched as Shannon's head came back out of the bush. The daughter of Demeter shook her head at her.
"Nothing." But as soon as the words were out of her mouth, a low growl resounded from the shadows in the bush, and a figure jumped out at the two unsuspecting teens. Their screams echoed the forest walls.

Will looked up at the sun, trying to determine how late the daughter of Demeter was for her archery lesson. Nico sat on the ground playing with the animated skeleton of a cat he found in the dumpster of the Hermes cabin (?). Will started to pace back and forth in front of the son of Hades, growing more agitated by the minute.
Nico looked up from the cat, "Maybe she just can't make it today?" Will shook his head at Nico.
"Then why wouldn't she have told me that she couldn't make it?" the son of Apollo asked. Nico gazed across the camp, catching a glimpse of red and blonde hair walking in their general direction.
Nico stood up and grabbed Will's arms to make him stop pacing, oblivious to the blush on the blonde boy's face. "Stop worrying," he said. "She's coming this way now."
By the time Will turned to look, Shannon and Charlotte had joined them in the arena. A small black dog with red eyes was following closely behind Shannon. Nico raised an eyebrow.
He gestured at the animal and looked at Shannon, "You are aware that there is a baby hellhound following you, right?" Shannon glanced at the dog in awe.
"That's what he was!" she exclaimed. "I thought that he was a German Shepard." Charlotte face palmed next to her. Shannon bent down and started petting the ebony colored fur, watching as the hell hounds tail thumped loudly against the ground. "He just started following me, so I've decided to keep him. I named him Harris."
Will sweat dropped as the hellhound made unblinking eye contact at him. He bent down to pet the animal, but it started barking (it sounded akin to a thunderstorm). The son of Apollo fell backwards and scrambled away from Harris. Nico watched as three figures rose out of the ground behind the other three teens in front of him. His eyes grew wide as he realized that the dog had summoned three undead warriors with his bark.
Nico tried to raise his hand inconspicuously, internally sighing that no one noticed, and sent the three dead men back to the underworld. Harris walked up to Nico and sniffed his hand, looking up at the son of Hades in amazement.
'Master?' Nico heard a voice in his head. He looked at the hellhound in amazement as he realized that it was Harris's voice he heard.
'No Harris,' he thought back. 'Shannon is your master.' The hellhound bowed it's head respectively and stood next to the blonde as Will tried to show her how to hold a bow and arrow correctly. Shannon got into position and Will started the lesson.
"Your doing great," he said. "Hold it just like that. Don't move." He let go of her arm. She moved. "Why are you moving," he asked. "Stop moving. Shannon..." She started to aim towards the sky.
Shannon's face was one of pure terror. "I can't hold it!" She yelled.
"Shannon, whatever you do, do not let go of the arrow. No... Wait!" Will watched helplessly as Shannon lost control of the arrow. "DON'T LET GO!"
The three demigods (plus Charlotte) screamed as the arrow flew through the air. As the arrow flew over camp people stopped to see where its destination would be. People watched in horror as it took course to three oblivious campers. Percy and OJ were both teasing Weasley about his foiled date with a certain daughter of Ares (who according to rumor was now his girlfriend).
Nico and Charlotte were racing towards the group, but it was too late. In a matter of seconds a certain ginger was thrown to the ground with a small "Eep!"; an arrow protruding from her butt.
By the time people made it over to the fallen daughter of Hermes, Percy and Weasley were holding her hands as she talked.
The girl was pale and her voice was slurred. "Guys," she whispered. "It got me good... It got me good..."
"Hold on OJ, help is coming." Percy said.
The girl grimaced, "I'm bleeding a lot guys. This might be it-". She was cut off by a hysteric Weasley.
"You have to hold on, OJ! You are the coolest bro a guy could ask for. Hold onto life, and for the Gods' sakes if you see a light, don't walk into it!"
"The same goes for you bro, but a daughter of Hermes knows when she's beat. Weasley, live on in my legacy. And Percy," she looked pleadingly at the son of Poseidon and gestured for him to lean down.
She sat up a little to whisper and whispered in his ear. "Percy..."
"Yeah OJ?"
"Remember last year, when that video of you crying when Glee ended, and it went viral throughout the camp and the state of Rhode Island? You never figured out who posted it..." Percy's face grew red.
"What?! You told me you thought it was the Stolls! I went after them for days!" The ginger girl nodded solemnly.
"If it's any consolation," the girl started. "I don't regret it." OJ's eyes slid closed, and an uproar went through the surrounding campers. Will finally got to the group and sat down next to OJ. Shannon's face was pale as she watched the son of Apollo bend down next to the daughter of Hermes.
Just before he felt for her pulse, the girls eyes flew open and she screamed at Will, making him fall back with a very unmanly scream. Weasley and OJ started to Laugh uncontrollably.
"My hero..." Nico muttered. The son of Hades was pushed backwards by the lens of a phone camera in his face.
"Whatdidyousay?" Joey asked. "Caretosaythatagaintothecamera?!" Nico's face flushed and he quickly ran to Charlotte's side.
OJ finally calmed down and looked at the demigods around her. "I was just pulling your leg, I'm fine. My butt does hurt like Hades though."
Will stood up and walked over to Shannon, who was petting a nervous looking Harris. Taking the bow out of her hand and patting her shoulder Will said, "You know Shannon, I never really saw you as an archer. You struck me as... More of a swordsman!" Will pushed her towards Nico with an evil grin.
