The next thing Drew knew she was waking up by a huge pine tree. The strange boy who had knocked her out what felt like moment before looked worried.

"I'm sorry, but I had to get you here." He said, speaking fast so she didn't interrupt him, "You would have been attacked if I hadn't taken you. You have to be here especially since the new prophecy. We are trying to find new campers and it has been almost a month since Percy disappeared."

"Shut the fuck up." Drew said, standing up and brushing off her dress and looking down at her shoes to see if they were okay then brushing off some of the dirt that had gotten on them, "Where the hell did you take me?"

The boy bit his lip, "Long island."

Drew wrinkled her nose, checked for her headphones and found them around her neck, her IPod still in her dress pocket, "Right, so I live near Rochester. That isn't too far. Alright, take me the fuck home."

The boy suddenly looked different and nodded suddenly agreeing with her and turning around as if to guide her back. And then he looked down at some sort of note on his hand and looked back at her, restrained. "But, you weren't even living with any real family. You should be here, Chiron talked to your foster parents and they agreed that you would do far better here." The boy said, messing with some hair on his chin.

"Stalker! What the heck? Who do you even think you are?" Drew exploded, yelling at him. Who was he to judge how she was doing and what was best for her?

He interrupted her sniffling nervously, "No, you have to stop talking, I have to take you to the big house." He stuffed something in his ears and then grabbed her arm. He was trying to be tough, she could deal with him.

"Take me back. Eff you! Take me home! Listen to me! I don't wanna be here! Let me go!" She was yelling and he couldn't hear her through whatever he had put in his ears so any chance of her escaping was minimal at best.

"I can't hear you, I won't listen to your charm spoken words." He said as he pulled her towards the large house. When they finally got there they had gotten a pretty large following of people who Drew had convinced with her yelling that she should be let go. A man in a wheelchair came out the front of the house and told her to stop yelling, she didn't.

"No! I won't stop until I can I go home!" Drew said breaking free of the boy's weak grasp and walking up to wheelchair ridden man.

"I'm Chiron." He said, smiling, one of his folded hands reaching out to shake her clenched one.

She slapped him across the face with all her might, she didn't care if this was real and she was going to get in trouble for that, "You fuck! You sent some boy to knock me out and send me here? You complete fucking freak!"

"Now, Drew. Calm down." Chiron said, but Drew wasn't taking any of it.

"No!" Drew yelled.

"I'm very sorry Drew, you have to calm down." Chiron said calmly and she saw another man come out of the house.

"What is going on here?" The fatter walking man said.

"This freakshow in a wheelchair and his little assistant kidnaped me!" Drew yelled at the man, pointing a thumb over her shoulder at the boy. 

She felt herself growing warm as she got more and more angry, and when she looked down at her body she saw she was glowing pink. She trying to ignore this and continued to glare at the two men on the porch.

"Aphrodite. She's being a bit difficult." Chiron said to the porky man.

"I'm right here!" Drew yelled at him through her pink aura thing.

"Yes Chiron, she's right there." The pot-bellied red-faced man said smiling.

Chiron sighed and rubbed his face, "There hasn't been an issue like this in awhile and on top of that, Percy."

"Peter Johnson you mean?" The man said.

"No, Percy Jackson. Dionysus, for goodness sake he saved the world." Chiron said annoyance evident in his strong, clam voice.

"We are discussing this girl right now, correct?" The man said ignoring whatever Chiron had said. Dionysus was his name, Drew guessed, they must have a thing for Mythology here. Creepy pagans.

"I'm still right here." Drew said, she didn't like them talking about her while she was there. Wasn't she the one who had gotten kidnapped! They should be discussing how they were going to get her back home.

"Yes, something will have to be done about that." Dionysus said eyeing the pink aura. Then he wave a hand and after almost a minute and great concentration on his part the pink aura grew purple and Drew passed out. She seemed to be doing a lot of that lately.

She would have to stop getting knocked out.

Or maybe start knocking other people out.
