The group quickly got out of the lake and Thalia and Bianca were greeted by Silena and Charles.
"Hey," Thalia greets. "Meet Bianca Di'Angelo, daughter of Hades."
"Charles Beckendorf," Charles introduces. "Son of Hephaestus."
"Silena McLean," Silena states outing her real last name. "Daughter of Aphrodite."
"McLean," a random Aphrodite girl asks. "I thought it was Beauregard?"
"That was a lie that my father and mother told me to use," Silena admits. "I just like my real last name better."
"McLean like Tristan McLean," another Aphrodite girl questions.
"He's my father," Silena adds.
"Let's go see Chiron," Thalia suggests as Silena is surrounded by campers.
"I'll stay here," Charles proposes.
Thalia, Percy, Bianca and Nico all walked to the Big House.
"Percy! Thalia!" Chiron calls. "These two must be-"
"Bianca and Nico Di'Angelo," Bianca replies. "Children of Hades."
"What?!" Mr. D and Chiron ask.
"Hades broke the oath?" Chiron asked Percy and Thalia.
"No," Bianca answers. "I was born in 1928. Nico was born in 1932. We were sent to the Lotus Casino and taken out a few weeks ago."
"Is there any proof to that besides her word," Mr. D asks.
Bianca clenches her fist and a few precious stones rise out of the ground.
Percy and Nico look at the stones in shock.
Grover walks over and notices the stones.
"Are those blue diamonds," Grover asks.
He starts to bend down when Thalia stops him.
Bianca gasps and grabs the jewels.
She throws them into her pocket and looks worried.
"You have the curse," Chiron questions.
"Yeah," Bianca comments. "I thought I had rid myself of it. It hasn't been active since I left the Lotus Casino."
"Well," Chiron begins. "Grover, perhaps you should take our young friend to the den and show him the orientation film."
Grover walks Nico into the den.
"So where is Annabeth?" Chiron questions.
When the four were done explaining Chiron turned to Mr. D. "We should launch a search for Annabeth immediately."
"I'll go," Thalia, Percy and Bianca day at the same time and then glare at each other.
"Definitely like their parents," Mr. D states. "And certainly not. From what you have told me, we have broken even on this escapade. We have, ah, regrettably lost Annie Bell-"
"Annabeth."
"Yes, yes," he said. "And you procured a small annoying boy and a teenage girl to replace her. So I see no point risking further half-bloods on a ridiculous rescue. The possibility is very great that this Annie girl is dead."
"One," Bianca begins. "Her name is Annabeth. I knew her for almost two minutes and I know her name. Two, she is a daughter of Athena. She knows how to survive. Three, I can tell that you don't like Percy and I. A quest could increase the chances of you never seeing us again if we went on a quest to get Annabeth."
