At the reception, everyone was dancing to some weird happy pop music I couldn't stand, but since Will wanted to dance, I did.

Everything was fine, I told myself over and over. I still had a feeling that everything was going to be ruined. And that is exactly what happened, right at that same moment I thought that same thought.

Just then, we heard a mighty roar. Not like a lion roar, no this was a battle roar. This roar was big enough to cause an earthquake. Someone screamed, then most other people joined in.

Will and I looked at each other and had our first mental conversation.

What the heck is going on?

I think it might be a monster attack.

Here? In Camp Half-Blood? Especially NOW? Are you sure it's not just a prank? You did invite the Stoll brothers.

No, even the Stolls know better than to do something this bad at a time like this.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

While Will and I "talked" everyone else was either preparing for war, (mostly the Ares kids) hiding, (the smart ones) or paralyzed in shock and/or screaming their lungs off. (the newbies) We sighed together and went to go fix our supposedly "perfect day".
