I'M HAVING TO MANY FEELINGS AT ONCE. I HAVE FEELINGS FOR TWO BOYS, BOTH WHICH I AM TRYING TO SUPPRESS AND SOME OTHER STRANGE FEELING.
The next morning after breakfast, I told Grover and Percy about my dream. It turns out Percy had the same dream. We sat in the meadow watching the satyrs chase the wood nymphs through the snow. The nymphs had promised to kiss the satyrs if they got caught, but they hardly ever did. Usually the nymph would let the satyr get up a full head of steam, then she'd turn into a snow-covered tree and the poor satyr would slam into it headfirst and get a pile of snow dumped on him.
When we told Grover about our dream/nightmare, he started twirling his finger in his shaggy leg fur. "A cave ceiling collapsed on her?" he asked.
"Yeah. What the heck does that mean?" Percy asked. I knew exactly what it meant, but if I tell them anything now. They'll want to immediately go to her rescue and I know Dionysus won't allow it.
Grover shook his head. "I don't know. But after what Zoe dreamed—"
"Whoa. What do you mean? Zoe had a dream like that?"
"I... I don't know, exactly. About three in the morning she and Cassian came to the Big House and demanded to talk to Chiron. They looked really panicked."
"Wait, how do you know this?"
Grover blushed. "I was sort of camped outside the Artemis cabin."
"What for?"
"Just to be, you know, near them."
"You're a stalker with hooves." I deadpanned. I heard Percy snicker softly.
"I am not! Anyway, I followed them to the Big House and hid in a bush and watched the whole thing. They both got real upset when Argus wouldn't let them in. It was kind of a dangerous scene." I tried to imagine that. Argus was the head of security for camp—a big blond dude with eyes all over his body. He rarely showed himself unless something serious was going on. I wouldn't want to place bets on a fight between him, Cassian Black and Zoe Nightshade.
"What did she say?" I asked.
Grover grimaced. "Well, she starts talking really old-fashioned when she gets upset, so it was kind of hard to understand. But something about Artemis being in trouble and needing the Hunters. And then she called Argus a boil-brained lout... I think that's a bad thing. And then he called her—"
Percy said, "whoa, wait. How could Artemis be in trouble?"
"I... well, finally Chiron came out in his pajamas and his horse tail in curlers and—"
"He wears curlers in his tail?" Percy questioned.
Grover covered his mouth.
"Sorry," he said. "Go on."
"Well, Zoe said she needed permission to leave camp immediately. Chiron refused. He reminded Zoe and Cassian that the Hunters were supposed to stay here until they received orders from Artemis. And she said..." Grover gulped. "She said 'How are we to get orders from Artemis if Artemis is lost?'"
