A/N: This chapter takes place during TLO, ch.9 ("Two snakes save my life")
I can't believe I haven't posted a chapter in three weeks. It's been pretty hectic.
I hope you'll enjoy this one!

"Gear up and get ready for battle!" Annabeth ordered, suddenly running into the dining pavilion, during lunch the next day.
She was holding a cell phone in her hand.
Everybody stopped eating and stared at her.
"Percy just messaged me! We need to move! Hurry it up!" she ordered.
Chaos ensued.
Cabin Counselors were shouting instructions to their cabins. Everyone was rushing to and from the armory.
The chaos was starting to irritate Rose, who'd gotten ready for battle in a matter of minutes, but she ignored it and helped the younger campers get prepared.
She hated the idea that they would go into battle. The Jarlan 5 had barely received any training at all. They couldn't defend themselves. She'd never forgive herself if something happened to them. She was one of the reasons they were at camp in the first place, after all.
"Stay out of trouble," she instructed as she helped Nino put on his bronze breastplate. "Don't try anything unless you're absolutely sure you're going to succeed."
Violet was gripping Adora's shoulder, trembling.
"Now, the battle is going to be scary," Rose continued, moving on to Jinny, "but you guys have to be brave. And be smart with your actions." She looked up at Travis and Connor who had their hands full. "Travis!" she called.
He turned his head towards her.
"I'll take care of the three unclaimed," she said.
He nodded thankfully.
"Raven, stay close to Michael," Rose quickly said, moving on to helping Loyal, "Nino, stay close to Jake. Adora, stick to Silena."
They nodded shakily.
"The rest of you, stay close to me and follow every single one of my instructions to the letter. I promise I'll do my best to keep you safe."
They nodded again, unable to pronounce a word.
Clearing the space so the other demigods could armor up, Rose led the frazzled Jarlan 5 outside.
"You three, go find your Cabins," Rose said, "be safe."
Raven, Nino, and Adora ran away without a word.
Rose led the remaining 4 of them towards Iris' van, which had been parked near the three vans that read Delphi Strawberry Service, which was the cover name for Camp Half-Blood.
She instructed them to climb on and followed them in.
Brina climbed in after her, clad in bronze armor, and Rose waved at her. Brina smiled nervously and opened the window to put her hands outside. Rose didn't question it. Brina sat right behind the driver's seat, where Rose was sitting.
Campers kept pooling in and climbing into vans. Soon, Iris' van was almost filled, with only the front passenger's seat left.
Annabeth, who had been organizing everything, was the last to climb in and she sat in the last seat. She was dressed in black camouflage with her Celestial bronze knife strapped to her arm and her laptop bag slung over her shoulder.
