Connor's POV

I was stunned. I picked her up in my arms as Travis and I walked to the street. In greek I yelled, "Stop chariot of damnation!" Then I dropped a golden Drachma into the road. Suddenly there was a puff of smoke and a grey taxi was in front of us. I hopped inside still carrying Ariana. Her long blonde hair was just past the center line of her back and a little past her shoulders in the front. It glowed in the moonlight. She was beautiful, but I didn't see her in that way. I saw her as my best friend, who I could share all my secrets with. She saw that in me too. I can tell every time she calls me and Travis idiots.

Just then the old ladies asked, "Destination?" "Half-blood hill, long island, New York," Travis said. I gave Ariana to Travis while i sat and thought. Who is her godly parent? Maybe Aphrodite? She is beautiful but no. She's too much of a tomboy. Here's a thought, what about Apollo? She has his blonde hair, always been good with a bow. Plus, she told Travis and I that when she grows up she wants to become a doctor. Just then the tires of the taxi squeaked. "We're here," Travis said.

We got out of the grey taxi then ran up half-blood hill. Just as we got up we saw Katie Gardener. She saw Ariana's arms on Travis' neck and that she was hugging him close. She paled. I started bursting out laughing. The two gave me a questioning look and I said, "No need to be jealous Gardener. She's just a friend of ours who became a chew toy for a hellhound." Katie blushed and so did Travis. I took Ariana and said very sternly to the both of them, "Ugh, come one. The whole camps been waiting for ages! JUST KISS ALREADY!" This relationship between them was getting seriously aggravating.

I walked over to the big house, Ariana still in my arms. Chiron was in his wheelchair playing cards with Mr. D as always. I walk up the stairs and Chiron see's me. "Mr. Stool, your back early-" He starts saying but then falters when he see's Ariana. "My friend here was a chew toy for a hellhound," I said matter a factly. "Take her to the infirmary and get her some ambrosia and nectar. I do as i'm told.

When I get there I see a daughter of Apollo filling the medicine cabinets. I walk up to her and scoff. She noticed Ariana and leads me to a bed. I set her down gently while the girl wen to get some ambrosia and nectar. When the girl get's back she asked, "What happened?" I tell her about the hellhound and gives a worried expression. "Go get Nico Di Angelo, and make it fast." I run to the 13th cabin. The Hades cabin always gave me the creeps. I knock on the door and Nico comes out wearing all black as always. "What's wrong?" He asked me. "Some daughter of Apollo needs your help. My friend Ariana was clawed by a hellhound." He gives me wide eyes and sprints for the infirmary. Now i'm just plain mad! What were they not telling me! I walked back to see Nico talking to the the Apollo child. Then he shadow travels and returns moments later with a white and purple flower. He took off a leaf and squeezed the juice into her mouth. The healer grabs the flower from Nico and puts it in a cabinet. Just then Ariana started to wake up.
