We made it to the alley where Annanbeth was waiting for us.

Since Tyson was there, i knew there was gonna be a long conversation.

I pit my back up to the wall while they talked, mostly Annabeth freaking out.

"Y/n, you friends with him," Annabeth asked, still seeming disgusted.

"No, i made other friends."

Then, apparently, Tyson was a Laistry- something i don't even know.

"Have you been having dreams lately?" Annabeth asked, i thought she meant me for a second, and i panicked, but them realized she'd been asking Percy, and i was relieved.

Percy then explained a dream that he had. Then Annabeth thought for a moment.

"Trouble," she said, " big trouble at camp."

Percy looked like he was about to ask a million questions, so i said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to camp."

We started walking quickly through the sidewalk.

"Here," Annabeth stopped at a corner and started digging in her backpack.

"What are you looking for?" Percy asked.

Annabeth didn't respond. She took out a coin and threw it on the ground.

Then the coin turned into a taxi car?

The passenger window rolled down, and an old ladies head popped out.

"Passage? Passage?" The old lady asked.

"Four to camp half blood," Annabeth said.

"Ah, well, we don't take his kind," the lady said, pointing to Tyson.

Why was Tyson so strange? Was it because he looked homeless? Im so confused.

"Extra pay," Annabeth promised, "four extra drachmas on arrival."

"Deal."

We got in the car, luckily all fit.

The person driving pressed the accelerator really hard, which made my head fly back. In the seat that i was placed in, i didn't have a place to put my head, so my neck went back harshly.

"Ow," i said quietly.

The cab kept speeding on turns, i looked at the seat belt that i hadn't had on since i was squished.

I mean, even if i needed it, i didn't have enough room to even buckle the seat belt.

The drivers were having an argument on who would bite the coin.. Odd..

"Red light!" One of them called.

"Brake!" Another one called.

Instead, they drive over the curb, knocking over a newspaper stand.

I've been in taxi's multiple times, but gods, this was something different.

"Excuse me," Percy said, "can you see?"

"No! Two said.

"Of course!" The third one said.

Percy looked at Annabeth, "they're blind?"

"They're not blind they have one eye."

"One eye for each of the three people?"

"Nope, one total."

Well, this wasn't scary at all.

I didn't always get carsick, but i had a weird feeling in my stomach.

I could hear Tyson complaining, along with the three in the front arguing, i just blocked it all out, like im used to doing.

Then the car started screaming like crazy and i was brought back to reality.

"There by your foot, don't step on the eye!" Annabeth shouted.

Well, now i know what's going on, sorta.

"Going to be sick," Tyson warned.

"Annabeth, let Tyson use your backpack," Percy said.

"Are you crazy get the eye!" Annabeth said.

I don't blame Annabeth. I wouldn't want anyone to puke in my backpack either.

Percy then used his half ripped up shirt to grab the eye.

"Great, give me the eye," one of the drivers said.

"Not until you explain what you were saying about the location, i seek?" Percy said.

"Percy, there is no time. We will just keep accelerating till we blow into a million pieces," i yell to Percy.

They sorta explained it.. Didn't make any sense to me, though.

We were now speeding on the highway. You could see half blood hill.

"Percy, give them back the eye," Annabeth told percy desperately.

Percy threw the eye on one of their laps, and they grabbed the eye.

"Whoa," they said and slammed on the brakes.

The taxi spun a few times, then came to a stop.

"Tell me what those numbers mean," Perfect said to the drivers.

I looked out the window and saw a huge battle on half blood hill.

"No time, come on," i said.

We all got out of the car and ran toward half blood hill.
