Percy, Annabeth, and Grover burst out of a flash of light and fell face flat on the ground.

Percy was still gasping for breath, after his intense battle with Kratos.

He flipped himself onto his back and stared up at the sky.

"I can't believe…the gods just saved us," he panted.

"Well I guess they're still thankful that you helped defeat Kronos," said Grover.

"But I didn't kill him!" yelled Percy. "Whoever this Kratos is thinks I did and is apparently jealous!

"Well for right now we need to stop fighting, or one of us is going to die," said Grover.

"First things first," said Annabeth. "Where the hell are we?"

The gang looked around and saw themselves in a forest.

"Are we back at the woods towards camp?" asked Percy.

"Actually no," said a voice. "You're here at the meeting point where I was told to retrieve you guys."

Percy immediately recognized that voice.

The gang turned to see a flashlight shining at them.

They then got a good view of the figure holding the flashlight, yet Percy knew who it was even before he saw the figure.

Before he saw her.

He saw Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a friend of the gang and especially Percy's.

She had helped the gang several times in the past and was even the host of the Oracle of Delphi.

Percy smiled as Rachel helped him up, yet he caught sight of Annabeth uneasily smiling.

He knew that she was jealous of Rachel and her kindness towards Percy.

Yet Rachel knew he loved Annabeth.

"What are you doing here?" asked Percy.

"I was told by Aphrodite herself that she was transporting you guys here," said Rachel. "And that Percy was being hunted by a vengeful and powerful enemy and needs a place to hide."

"And so she sends us to you?" asked Annabeth. "Why?"

"Beats me," said Rachel. "But if the gods and goddesses needs my help to help the hero of Olympus, then I'm glad to."

He took Percy's hand and smiled at him.

He managed a weak smile, trying not to make Annabeth angry.

"So where to now?" asked Grover. "Tell me we're not camping in these woods."

"No," said Rachel. "We're heading to my home."

She began walking, still holding Percy's hand, which made her pull him suddenly.

Annabeth watched as she practically dragged Percy into the darkness.

She could feel fire building up in her.

"Hey!" yelled Grover grabbing his stuff. "Don't leave us in the dark!"

He quickly ran after them, almost leaving Annabeth to the dark.

But she quickly realized she would be left alone, so she grabbed hers and Percy's stuff, which he left because Rachel dragged him, and ran after them too.

The gang walked through the woods until they made it finally to Rachel's house.

Actually it wasn't a house.

It was a mansion.

"What the?" asked Annabeth.

"Didn't Percy tell you?" asked Rachel. "My parents are wealthy and rich."

"It's…amazing!" gasped Percy.

Rachel blushed and Annabeth could see it.

She almost felt like wanting to strangle her, even though she knew Percy and Annabeth were a couple.

"And are your parents home?" asked Grover.

"No they're away right now," said Rachel. "So maybe we can have a slumber party!"

Percy laughed almost, and Annabeth almost did chuckle, only because it sounded stupid and funny at the same time.

She escorted everyone inside, and everyone took a look at the fabulous interior.

It was big and filled with antiques.

"I will show you all to your rooms," said Rachel. "And then you guys can finish sleeping for the rest of the night."

Percy looked at his watch and saw it was 3:00 AM.

"Jesus!" he said. "I had no idea it was still late!"

"I guess fighting a warlord makes time fly," said Annabeth.

"Hey girl," said Grover. "The only one we should be talking about time with is Kronos. And thankfully, he's dead."

The gang almost laughed, and even Rachel did too.

But the words still stung in Percy's head.

"Kronos is dead," he said. "And Kratos still thinks I did it."

Bet you guys didn't expect Rachel? Did you? Huh? Huh!? Anyway, the chapter after next chapter will have a big intense love scene. I can't wait!

See you next update! *cough* *cough* Sorry! Kratos…is literally…holding me by the neck…chocking me! He'll strangle me…if you…DON'T REVIEW! SO PLEASE REVIEW!
