I woke up sitting in a chair with my hands tied behind my back. I was surrounded by a meadow. That wasn't what I originally expected, but I always expect the unexpected. I was seated around a round table along with treats and tea on it.

"Good you're up! Now we can begin introductions!" I looked to my right and I saw a lady standing behind Percy. She had big beefy hand with a gold bracelet on each wrist. Her skin looked like dirt.She had white hair that was braided into two braids. Her face sagged down making her dark green eyes stand out. I noticed she was covered with burn marks all over her body.

"My name is Gee, like the letter! Don't worry, I'm sure we will all be good friends!" Gee exclaimed as she took the teapot and started to pour tea for everyone.

"Are you a sand castle Gee? Cuz I wanna smash you to pieces," Leo filtered with her. Of course he had to. He was the comic relief of the group after all.

"Not this again Leo!" Percy shouted angrily. How long was I really out for this to happen multiple times already. Mud people emerged from the shadows and forced us to drink the tea. It tasted horrible. It spit it out immediately but I was forced to drink more tea sadly. I had to think of a way out of this place.

"Do you have any questions, children?" Gee asked.

"Why do you have so many burns all over your body? Are they a result of a fight?" That wasn't supposed to come out of my mouth but it did. This tea must make us tell the truth.

"Don't worry about that Annabeth." Gee was hiding something. Those burns definitely came from a fight. Fire must be her weakness.

"Can we leave yet? We have important hero stuff to do, you know," Percy said with a threatening tone. He meant business but I could tell he was also powerless. Gee seemed to contemplate his request for a moment.

"No. The masters told me it would be fun to deal with you greeks!" Gee exclaimed. Here goes my plan.

"How are you Gee?" Maybe she would reveal how she got those burns.

"Oh I've been doing better ever since that day. You know it really hurts to get burned with blue fire." It was working.

"That kid just kept on screaming and the fire got bigger and bigger. I got bad burns from him, you know." Gee sighed angrily and then drank some of the tea. There it was.

"Who gave you those burns?" I asked.

"Why the Storm Runner of course!" Gee immediately clamped her hands over her mouth. Now I just had to figure out who this "Storm Runner" is. Gee rubbed her burns with dirt, she was trying to hide them. Somehow the burns turned the dirt into ashes. Suddenly I heard an ear wrenching scream, Bird was in trouble.

"Why won't you let us go?" Hopefully the tea's effects were still going.

"I was told to keep you here until he died." Gee replied and then she smacked herself with her hands. Either Bird or Zotz was going to die, I had to get us out of here. Suddenly there was an explosion causing rock shrapnel to fly all around us. Gee was impaled with shrapnel to the heart. The mud people disintegrated from the heat and my vision went out of focus. When my vision came back into focus Percy was untying my hands. I guess the blast burned his ropes to ashes.

"Now I can stomp her to pieces!" Leo exclaimed while stomping her body, that surprisingly wasn't turned to ashes. The forest surrounding us disappeared and we were standing in a cave now. The table was still there, so our surroundings were an illusion. Percy dashed off towards the second cavern that was opened by the blast, sword in hand. I rushed after him as back up.
