In the morning after breakfast Lillith followed the Hermes cabin to the outside of the Athena cabin. There she found a few of the Athena kids, including Annabeth stood waiting for them. A load of them had been moaning this morning about having to go to the class because it was boring but Lillith wasn't sure what to think of it. Lillith sat at the back of the class with a notepad and pen like she did when she went to school. That all seemed so long ago now but in reality it was three days ago. Today was Friday so everyone was excited about the capture the flag game that night so Annabeth had a pretty hard time calming them down. Lillith sighed and looked around her at all the other cabins that were heading towards there training sessions. In the shadows she saw a figure. She smiled knowing who it was and went back to trying to pay attention. Everyone in front of her was shuffling because of their ADHD this must have been hard for them. Lillith had that too but her condition was not as bad as those that were in front of her.

"Alright today we will talk about monster. The different kinds and how to defeat them." As Anmabeth said this Lillith's interest sparked up. This was the perfect time to get any information she could from a very clever daughter of Athena about what she was. She would have to be careful how she went about it though because Annabeth might start to suspect something is wrong. "Does anyone have any questions on any kind of monster before we start?" This was her chance so for the very first time Lillith put her hand up in class. "Yes Lillith?"

"I am aware that Hecate, the Goddess of witchcraft creates monsters. I was wondering exactly what kind of monster she makes?" Nico who was hiding in the shadows stared at Lillith. He knew exactly why she would ask a question like that.

"That's a good question. Hecate was the creator of empousai which are creatures of a combination of dark magic, animal and bronze. They are a one legged hybrid with a donkey leg and a celestial bronze prosthetic leg. This is because their name means 'one-legged.'"

"They sound gross." Said one of them making other people laugh in agreement.

"They might be. They are quick but they die just like any other monster. I doubt that they will come to kill you as they only do Hecate's bidding. So unless the Goddess has a grudge against you you should be fine. Now let's talk about Hydras..." She said going into an explanation about them. Nico came out of the shadows and sat next to Lillith.

"Why would you ask her something like that?"

"Because I'm trying to find out what I am."

"The harpy you saw last night...she did say something to you didn't she? That's why you asked about Hecate's creations. What did she say to you?"

"I had my daggers out ready for a fight and she told me to put them away because they only eat demigods, not monsters. I asked of she saw me as a monster and she said that I was a very powerful creation of Hecate. If that's true then...I really am a monster."

"No, no you not. Don't ever say that to me again." Lillith smiled to herself. Trying to hide the blush that formed on her cheeks she buried her face into her hands and tried to pay attention in Annabeth class but it was becoming clearer and clearer that she was slowly falling for the child of death...

"I really can't do this." Moaning Lillith as her arrow flew to the left again missing the target completely. Will Solace, who had been helping her laughed at her.

"Wow your really bad."

"I'm just not a kid of Apollo like you."

"That's very obvious. Look remember what I said. Keep your elbows tucked in and your arms strong."

"Easier said than done." She said quietly to herself as she put another arrow in her bow. She pulled it back to her chin like her said, tucked her elbow in and released...only to see it landed not five paces from her.

"That's because you didn't aim it up to the sky. You want it to go far your meant to left it up a little otherwise it's just going to do that every time."

"I do not like this." She said loud enough for Will to hear. Lillith missed Nico, he had gone to see Chiron about something. It was probably about what she said this morning. She put another arrow in her bow and aimed it at the target. She saw as John the new kid hit his target in the bull eye.

"Don't worry about him. He is probably a Apollo kid, from everything I have seem so far anyway."

"Well he's making me look bad." Will smiled at her.

"Your doing that yourself." He said as Lillith released her arrow. It flew right over the top of the target.

"Hey Lillith why don't you try hitting the target?" Said one of the Apollo guys. Lillith glared at him with her fists clenched. That was it, she had had enough. She had been so frustrated that she couldn't hit the target and that comment was the last straw. The racks that were holding the arrows began to shake violently. Lillith continued to glare at the boy that made the snide comment and everyone else was looking around at the arrow racks in confusion. Then all the arrows suddenly flew into the air and floated behind Lillith. At the same time, just like the glass did when she fought the manticore all the arrows flew towards the board at the same time and stuck into the target she had been trying to hit for so long. When it was done Lillith calmed herself down and looked around at everyone staring at her with scared and shocked expressions in turn. She had to get out of there so she turned and she ran from the training ground...
