The next week was possibly the shortest one I have ever experienced. Before I knew it I was checking into my room at U hotel fifth Avenue. As it was only 3 p.m. I decided to get a latte from Starbucks and maybe visit central park. I grabbed my backpack which had everything that I had brought on the trip and walked to the Starbucks nearby. Hailing a cab, I arrived at Central park. After paying the driver I decided to try find the spot where the books said that Hyperion turned into a tree. Surprisingly, there was a maple tree at that exact spot the books had specified. I continued my walk through the park. In about two minutes, I saw something that I probably shouldn't have. A hot 5'7-ish boy around my age driving a black sword through a horse sized black dog.
"What the hell?", I muttered under my breath. To say I was surprised was an understatement. After all, It's not every day you see a boy drive a sword through, well, anything. As soon as I said those words the boy looked straight at me and we made eye contact. Shit shit shit shit shit. Panicking I quickly turned around and speed-walked (is that even a thing?) out of there. I internally groaned. Way to raise suspicion Melody. Of course it's not like he'll notice the little nobody who saw him drive a sword through somebody's giant pet so there's no need to worry I reassured myself. Now calmer I wondered if I shoud visit the woods near "camp half blood" or not. I decided not to let some emo dude with a sword who probably won't even remember me freak me out too much.

The driver was weirded out when I told him I wanted to go to the middle of nowhere but he took me there anyways. When I was is the forest I finally remembered one of the most important reasons I came here for. The box. Opening it I saw a ring. It was beautiful and all but I travelled to NY for a ring! Huffing, I put it on my middle finger. I noticed that it was getting late  and started to head back. Just then I heard a twig snap and looked at where it came from. In a split second a creature had pounced on me and I hit my head against a tree. I yelled out hoping that someone would hear me. My eyesight started to get blurry and I felt light-headed. No no no no no. I fought to stay concious and heard footsteps pounding against the forest floor. The boy from earlier and an older boy and girl came to the small clearing where I was. The creature snarled at them and said, "I know that even I cannot take on all three of you at once" turning to me he hissed, "you won't be so lucky next time little demigod". And with that he bounded off. The last thing I heard was the girl mutter "what did Thorn want with her". And the eldest boy reply" I don't know, Annabeth, I don't know" before the world went black.

This is her ring:
