Daughter of Hecate

Chapter Twenty-Four

Sappho 
        I woke up once again to arms wrapped around my waste and my face against pressed against his chest. I could feel his consecutive pulse and his steady breath.  
        "Time to get up sleepyhead," He whispered in my hair in a raspy voice.
        I smiled and got up, pulling out of his warm arms and sleeping bag.  I waved to where Marcus was, sitting in his sleeping bag, until I realized he couldn't see down here without a flashlight.    
        "I think there's an exit not far from here," he informed Luke, who simply nodded, rubbing his beautiful blue eyes-wait, what?
         There was a growling noise coming down from a different tunnel. My eyes grew wide but I knew not to freak out. I was half god for gods sake and I could defend myself and the two others. I muttered something barely audible enough for me to hear myself. The incantation allowed me to see any monsters coming near and unfortunately one was coming directly towards us. 
     "Guys, we need to go. Now." 
     They were about to question me but froze when they heard a loud growl. There was now a large wolf, I think it's called a
hell hound, crouched low with its fur standing up. Its snarl pulled back the wolf's lips and I was able to see the rotten flesh within it's teeth. I grabbed Luke's and Marcus's hand and teleported us out of the Labyrinth and into a large park.
     "How'd we-?" Luke's eyes landed on me. "You saved us?" I nodded shyly. "You're the Hecate kid, aren't you?"
     "Yes. Are you guys half bloods too."
     "Son of Hypnos at your service," Marcus joked shaking my hand. I smiled.
     "I'm the son of Hermes," Luke said as if it were bad to be from his father. I was slightly worried but didn't want to ruin any of my chances of being his friend.
     "That's cool!" I said "So where you guys wanting to do anything before I go home?" And by home I meant camp half blood.
     "Sure," Marcus said. "Luke has a cruise ship, I'm sure he would love to show you around in it." Luke elbowed him hard in the side. "OUCH!" 
      "Okay," I said as I contemplated the idea. "How far is it from here?"        
      "Just outside of Connecticut," Luke replied  his eyes positioned down at the ground. 
        I grabbed their hands and teleported again. There was this large pull in my gut and I started to grow dizzy. We landed in the middle of a corn field. Just as I was about to pass out I heard a deep voice shout my name.
