THE DARKWOOD TWINS

We get chased by a chocolate eating Harpy

Ariana P.O.V

We were flying when suddenly Aaron said

"Austin? Austin? what's up buddy?"

"I smell something... something bad..." Austin said.

"What did he say?" Aaron asked me.

"He said that he smells something bad. Guys-"

Just then we heard Jake yelling

"Aaaaah! a little help?" he was off Austin and was dragged through the air by-

" A Harpy!? I thought Harpies were good! cause there at Camp Half Blood!" Leo yelled while going back for Jake.

We were getting closer so I reached out my hand, Hoping he would catch it. The Harpy saw this scraped my hand, fiercely. I winced but still held out my hand. Jake caught it and I hauled him on top of Blaze and we flew. The Harpy was getting closer and closer. We went near Austin and barely managed to get Jake on top of him. And all of us flew faster and faster. But the harpy was faster than I thought! I began to think... Before I went out of camp Percy told his adventures. He mentioned Harpies.(apparently he had a harpy friend). They like food. Something about cheese and beef jerky? I looked at Jake. I saw a chocolate bar stuffed tight inside his pocket. Of course! that's why the harpy came after us! It saw the chocolate bar!

"Jake! throw your chocolate bar away!" I yelled over the wind.

"What! but this is my last and best chocolate bar of all time!" He yelled.

"Just... eat it then, fast! the harpy was tracking that!" I yelled again. Jake quickly took out the chocolate bar and started munching it faster than a vacuum cleaner.

"Done!"

I looked back and saw that the harpy had disappeared. "Weird" I thought even though that was kinda the point. Blaze suddenly went rigid and started falling... with me and Leo on him. While I was falling I tried to look around which is quite hard with the wind slapping your face but I saw that Aaron, Piper and Jake were falling too. I suddenly got and idea. I held Leo's hand and said

"Summon flames on your right hand!" he nodded. I felt a little woozy but I summoned blue fire on my left hand. Jake and Piper saw this and hugged Aaron. He summoned fire with both his arms. We landed safely on the ground but Aaron was having a little trouble they crash landed into a flat rooftop. We went up the building. Piper had blacked out and Jake and Aaron were sitting down and eating some ambrosia. Piper's left foot was twisted in a weird angle.

"Not this again!" Leo said.

"Huh, weird. That's exactly what she said before blacking out!" Aaron said. We carried Piper outside.

"Now how are we going to go to Mt. Rushmore!" Aaron said. We were all thinking... well except Piper cause... well, you know!

Then I remembered what Poseidon and Apollo said. The necklaces. I took the yellow one out and called "Apollo!" suddenly in front of me was Apollo the Sun God.

"So! what can I do for you today?" He asked.
