"Hey, Wisty?" Veronica asked,"I need your help"
I came in to the living room, where she had a drachma in her hand, she was setting up an iris message.
"Yeah, hold on" I said, I let my hands out, and released a small, foot-long rainbow.
"Okay, thanks!" Veronica said,"one more thing, what's your cousin's name again?"
"Haley Cornelius" I told her. She nodded.
"Iris, goddess of the rainbow," she said,"show me Haley Cornelius"
An image came up, a seven-year old girl with brown hair, and brown eyes.
"Hanna!" I said.
"Wisty!" She exclaimed.
"Hannah is Haley's little sister" I told Veronica.
I turned back to the iris message.
"Hannah, can you get Haley for me please?" I asked sweetly.
She nodded her head, and left. A few seconds later, Haley came up. She had brown hair and brown eyes, like her sister, and she was about twelve years old.
"Hey Wisty! What do you need?" She asked.
"You may want to move" I told her.
She did as I asked, and we called the others.
"Okay, Percy, Kio, John and I will go with Veronica, Tori and Leo with Erika" I said,"Annabeth, can you stay behind so we can get back?" I asked.
"Sure! No problem!" She answered.
We got with our groups, and the girls started to jump.
It had that same weird, liquid-like feeling it did five years ago, I'll admit I wasn't really used to it yet. Soon, we were in Colorado.
"Wha...how did you get here?" Haley asked.
"Don't worry," I said,"just tell aunt Macy I said 'Hi,' okay?"
She nodded, still confused.We left their house, and I looked at Kio.
"Can you try to track Teresa again?" I asked.
"I'll try" she said. She put her fingers to her eyebrows again, and muttered her name over and over like before.
After a while, she said,"We just..."
"We just what?" I asked.
"We just passed her"
"What?" Tori asked.
"Teresa is somewhere under that house"
"But...that's impossible" I said.
"Wisty?" Haley asked as she came out of the door.
"What's wrong Haley?" I asked.
"Were you looking for Teresa?"
"Yes! Have you seen her?"
"Follow me" she instructed.I followed her to the basement, where she stopped by the door. She quietly and carefully turned the doorknob, making no sound at all. We tip-toed through the basement, and I saw her.
Teresa was lying on the floor, unconscious. She was trapped in a cage, containing her with vines. And covered with bruises.
"Oh...my...gods" I mouthed.
"He's not here, let's go" Haley said.
"Who's not here?" I asked.
"Tartarus, now hurry! Before he comes back!"
Tartarus? I asked myself.
Haley brought me to the cage.
"Stand back" I said. I held out my hands, and used my magic to get rid of the vines. Soon enough, they cleared, and Teresa was free.But she was still unconscious, so I picked her up, and carried her out.
By the time I came out, I saw a car pull in the driveway, and my Aunt Macy came out.
"Wisty?" She said,"what are you doing here?"
"Just helping a friend, Mrs. Cornelius," Veronica said,"nothing to worry about"
"Um, okay, do you guys need anything before you go?"
I looked at Haley, and she mouthed,"she doesn't know"
I nodded.
"Okay" I mouthed back, then I turned to my aunt.
"We're okay aunt Macy! Thanks anyways!" I said. We ran off to a spot where she couldn't see us, and we iris-messaged Annabeth to get back.When we got there, someone said,"Well, this is unfortunate"
We turned around, and a man with flaming blue hair was in the room.
"Who the Hades are you?" Erika asked.
"You said it yourself, I am Hades"
