"What did she want with you?" Bianca asked Percy and I after I'd told her and the rest about Aphrodite.

"Oh, uh, not sure," Percs lied, he was a horrible liar. "She said to be careful in her husband's junkyard. She said not to pick anything up."

Mom narrowed her eyes. "The goddess of love would not make a special trip to tell thee that. Be careful, Percy. Aphrodite has led many heroes astray."

"For once I agree with Zoe," Thalia said. "You can't trust Aphrodite."

Grover was looking at Percy funny. He probably knew what Aphrodite wanted from him, it's no surprise really, it's obvious he likes the Annabeth girl.

“What did she want from you exactly?” Mom whispered to me, I shrugged, “Don't know, she was speaking some nonsense as always.” Mom hummed, taking the answer.

"So," Percy said, anxious to change the subject, "how do we get out of here?"

"That way," Mom said. "That is west."
"How can you tell?" Mom rolled her eyes at him.

"Ursa Major is in the north," she said, "which means that must be west." Mom pointed west, then at the northern constellation, which was hard to make out because there were so many other stars.

I always loved the constellations ever since i was little, when I was young mom would often stay up with me pointing at different constellations and telling me everything about them, some nights mother would even join us.

I snapped out of my thoughts as Percy spoke.

"Oh, yeah," he said. "The bear thing."

Both mom and I looked at him offended. "Show some respect. It was a fine bear. A worthy opponent." Mom said.

"You act like it was real." I hit the back of his head for that, making him wince.
