Claire Fields' Life is Hard

Chapter 3

(If you haven't read the Percy Jackson series and the sequels, you may not understand everything that goes on. Just a warning.)

Maya squealed in delight. 

I expect that she's feeling the same thing that I may feel when I get to meet Percy Jackson. I was happy for her.

Grover looked at us, a little confused, and said 'Hey Maya. Who are these two?'

Lisa said, 'Hey. My name is Lisa, this is my friend and quest partner Claire-' 

I smiled

'and my satyr Maya.'

Grover asked 'Why are you guys here?'

Maya said 'Ooh, I can't believe I'm actually talking to you, like an actual Lord Of The Wild. Oh my god. Anyways, we're here on a quest. People who went into the forest started coughing and getting a fever and basically becoming sick as soon as they come out. Then they faint, and don't remember the forest at all when they wake up. Chiron and the others at camp were hoping that you may be able to tell us a solution, or tell us where it is. Also Lisa's prophecy said that we had to go to the "Lord at rest in west" or something.' 

Grover looked at the three of us and said 'Could you repeat what all happen to the people who come out?'

Maya and Lisa looked at me, and I realized they expected me to speak. 

I said, trying not to stutter 'Whenever people enter the forest and c-come out, they start vomiting and they have a fever and stuff. Not all of them, just mostly. It changes from person to person. So umm then, all of them faint after a bit, even if they aren't sick or anything, and then they wake up and they don't remember anything. Also, before they f-faint they mutter something about green sparkles or like particles and seeing a scary some-something and yeah.'

Grover asked, 'Has anyone died yet?'

Lisa said, 'Nope. Not yet at least.'

Grover raised his eyebrows, thought about it for a while and said, 'Ok that's good. I guess I'll just head back to camp and check it out, but I'm not really sure I'll be able to  find a solution. Until then, I suppose you guys could just go back and ask Apollo about it, he is the god of diseases. Other than that, I'm not really sure.'

Lisa smiled and said 'Ok sure, we'll head to Apollo next. Do you have any idea where he is?'

Grover replied 'He's probably going to be in Olympus.'

We stared at him blankly.

He added 'Go to the Empire State Building and ask for access to the 600th floor.'

Lisa said, 'Ok. Thank you so much for all your help.'

Grover said, 'It's my camp too.'

We stood in silence for a few seconds.

'Also, if you need anything like water or something just ask nearby dryads or nymphs, and tell them that I sent you. They'll be sure to help you.' He added.

Lisa said 'Ok. Well, we'll be on our way then.'

Grover replied 'Ok sure. I'll start to camp after a bit.'

Lisa said 'Ok'

Then we bid our goodbyes and left on our ways.

We were trying to find somewhere to stay or just take a break in, when my stomach started to grumble.

Talk about embarrassing times.
