The rest of the day after the fight was hazy; Lindsey led me and Logan to a room not far from the training arena that I guessed was an infirmary. First we dropped of Logan and walked to the next room and I was brought to a bed. I willingly laid down and fell asleep.
As usual I didn't have any dreams. I woke up and saw that there was someone near my bed. I adjusted my eyes and realized it was Katie.
"You're awake." Katie said.
"Yeah. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I was done with my Greek Mythology lesson because I like to be done before everyone else and I heard you and Logan were doing a training fight and you guys practically passed out; I came to check on you guys. I heard you won."
"Uh, yeah."
"Have you had training before?"
"No."
She seemed very confused about the fact that I won and had no training.
Logan walked in looking better than he did after the fight. He looked at me still laying in bed and said, "well, someone is sleepy."
"Yeah," I said sitting up, "fighting you is very tiring."
Right then someone came in and said, "Katie, it's time for our next class." They both left to somewhere, I didn't know.
Logan looked at me and asked, "Are you sure you haven't had training before?"
I wanted to say no but looking at him now and him asking the question I had no clue. Something inside of me was screaming yes but I felt that I had no idea.
"I don't know... I don't think so." I said. I felt like something had been stolen from my memories. "Maybe."
"You don't know weather you have been trained before or not?" He asked.
"No, ever since I came here I felt like this is what I have known my whole life. Nothing about all this craziness is confusing me. It all makes so much sense as if I already have adjusted to it."
"What do you mean, being a Greek demigod?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, but I feel like my memories are just gone, like the normal life I thought I lived never happened." I said.
"Hmm, it has happened before. There was this huge quest for 7 demigods and two of them lost their memories." He said. "They could be stolen."
Stolen memories, I thought. That seemed completely unrealistic. But then again I was living in a fantasy world full of gods and other magical things.
"Okay," I said, "how do I get them back?"
"You have to be issued a prophecy. You would have to go to Camp Half Blood."
After he said that someone walked in. I realized it was Lindsey and she was looking wide eyed at us.
"I wouldn't leave." She said. "Aesop is not happy with either of you. You're lucky I picked you up and not him. He wants to talk to you. You're going to have to follow me."
Logan and I looked at each other and got up and started follow Lindsey. We walked for a while; past the training arena and olympic arena. We came to a stop that had a sign on it that looked like this:
Lindsey knocked on the door and it swung open. Inside I saw Aesop and he looked scary as ever. He looked like he had red eyes, his curly brown hair was slicked back and he was giving us a death glare. He wouldn't take his eyes off me especially. He looked like he was glaring down into the depths of my soul.
"Welcome." He said in a creepy, non welcoming voice. "Lindsey, you may leave." She glanced at me nervously and left.
"I understand that you two were fighting in the training arena. You guys have missed all your classes today besides that one."
"Yes." Logan and I said nervously in unison.
"We don't need anyone to be getting seriously injured while we do the training arena. You must be careful. But what I am really worried about is you Zoe. I think you are lying to us... are you a spy. You obviously have training."
I was speechless but Logan stood up for me saying, "paranoid much."
"I wouldn't defend her." Said Aesop. "You will have to be punished with her if you do. Perhaps we should do the old leaving her in a room full of lions." He asked Logan.
"No." He said quietly. "She is not a traitor she doesn't deserve punishment. She is naturally a good fighter."
"I will think about it." Said Aesop. "For now, Logan you may go I want to talk to Zoe alone."
Logan got up but he didn't look happy about it and he looked over at me nervously and then left.
"Zoe." Said Aesop looking at me with the creepiest smile. "Why did you come here."
"I didn't purposely. Logan came to my house and took me here. I wasn't exactly sure why except that it is a safe place." I said telling the truth.
"I sense you are telling the truth Zoe. But I think there is something off and untrustworthy about you. For now you may leave I will talk to you again sometime soon."
I got up out of my chair and practically bolted out of the door. I realized Logan was out there waiting for me he had his sword in his hand. He looked so relieved to see me and he sheathed his sword.
We walked for a while in silence and after it looked like we were miles from Aesop's office Logan said, "You have to leave. First thing tomorrow, he will not show mercy no matter what you say."
"How will we get through the Labyrinth? It is too confusing." I asked.
He pulled something out of his pocket, a glowing ball of string. "This will help us get wherever we need to go." He said.
"How did you get that?" I asked.
"I stole it from Aesop's office while we were talking. I knew what we had to do."
We stopped at what I realized was the girl's dorm. Was it seriously already time for bed, I'm glad I had a big breakfast because I hadn't eaten anything else all day long.
"Goodnight." Said Logan and I nodded and walked into the dorm.
