"This way!" Rachel yelled.
"Why should we follow you?" Annabeth demanded. "You led us straight into that death trap!"
"Just follow!" Anastasia shouted.
Annabeth didn't look happy about it, but she ran along with the rest of them. Rachel seemed to know exactly where she was going. She whipped around corners and didn't even hesitate at crossroads. Once she said, "Duck!" and they all crouched as a huge axe swung over their heads. Then they kept going as if nothing had happened.
Percy had lost track of how many turns they actually made. They didn't stop to rest until they came to a room the size of a gymnasium with old marble columns holding up the roof. He stood at the doorway, listening for sounds of pursuit, but he heard nothing. Apparently they'd lost Luke and his minions in the maze.
Then he realized something else: Mrs. O'Leary was gone. He didn't know when she'd disappeared. He didn't know of she'd gotten lost or been overrun by monsters or what. His heart turned to lead. She'd saved their lives, and he hadn't even waited to make sure she was following them.
Ethan collapsed on the floor. "You people are crazy." He pulled off his helmet. His face gleamed with sweat.
Annabeth gasped. "I remember you! You were one of the undetermined kids in the Hermes cabin, years ago."
He glared at her. "Yeah, and you're Annabeth. I remember."
"What—what happened to your eye?"
Ethan looked away, and Percy got the feeling that was one subject he would not discuss.
"They did a shitty job at healing it," Anastasia lifted her hand and Ethan smacked it away.
