The thing hissed again.

"Answer it"

I, myself couldn't remember what the question was in the first place, but dared to ask the question we had both wanted to ask.

"Can you repeat the question?" I asked, quietly. The- the thing sighed, but for filled my wish. it spoke;

" I can kill, marry and bound, a never ending, never braking line. Killing, Uniting and loving. A symbol of magic and light. What am I?"

Think. It's a logical question. Now my mother was no Athena, but, she was an English teacher. A master of riddles, better than Bilbo Baggins! And that was saying something. The sphinx, yes, sphinx, I remember it from Harry Potter. Thinking. I was supposed to be thinking. Come on Summer! Yes, I'm called Summer. Summer West. Demi-God. I know what your thinking. Oh My Goodness! Awesome! No. Being the son or daughter of a Greek god is not awesome. It means risking your life, every time you go out. Even if you just need milk or bread. Once my mum was taking about the math teacher she is in love with. Yes my mum tells me about her love-life. So, she was talking about how to find the area of a circle in the most dreamy way when- wait. Circle. A noose, a wedding ring, tying people up! it newer ends and you get holy circles and halos!  THE ANSWER IS A CIRCLE!

"Circle" I say, proudly.

The sphinx huffs. Annoyed that she won't get to kill us. Well, tough luck, Cat Lady. She moves aside, letting us pass. Now let me explain who 'us' is. Me, Summer, and him, Theo. Theo Wilson, son of Hermes. I swear, Hermes is a sex addict. He has loads of sons and daughters! I was still unclaimed. But, I some how know that I am the daughter of Apollo. The necklace my farther gave me was a sun. That's a right giveaway. But there's one thing I don't understand is, I can't shoot. My aim is totally sucky! But, as much as this nocked my reassurance, I am good at music. No, screw that. I'm amazingly awesome at music. It just comes to me. That sound like I'm Yoda or something. I'm not. I'm a 17 year old DJ at a camp of children of the gods, my life is totally normal. My weapon is sonic sound. No, I'm joking. But that would be seriously cool. I just use a normal sword, I don't really have any talents. Except from music. I DJ at the parties we have fairly often. Invitation only. There is a place, where the war hid, inside the woods. That's where we have our parties. Only us cool kids. That makes us all sound like dorks. Some boys from the Ares cabin are the bouncers. Once this kid from the Roman Camp (They had to stay at camp half blood). Anyway, his name was Octavian, he thought he was hard as nails. He wasn't. He was the descendant of Apollo, that means I'm related to him, but lets not dwell on the negatives. So he came all dressed up in what he thought was cool. A purple snap-back cap, a giant jock jacket and baggy jeans, but on his figure it looked like they were still hanging up on the hanger! He got so angry and said that he killed animals on a daily basis so he could kill us if he didn't get in! Eventually, Clarisse La Rue came and threw him out. Literally. If you knew Clarisse I wouldn't have to explain that. We only invite her because she has the blessing of a war good, and is seriously scary. Also her boyfriend Chris, is really cool. Anyway, back to how we met a sphinx. Theo and I were sent to get the van for the to be renewed, we demigods, not time lords. So the man said to come back in a hour, so we decided to go to Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks. It was my idea, because I like Mocha! Plus, they have free Wi-Fi. Leo Valdez, my best friends boyfriend, designed this chip that protects demi-gods with phones from monsters. So when you use them they, they can't find you. Isn't it great! I can finally Instagram and go on Tumblr and not be in fear of my life! So we were sat in Starbucks when he started to talk to me. Its not like we never talk, we are quite good friends but not best friends.

"You know, who ever is you father is breaking the law." He said. Like I didn't know. After the second titan war, Percy Jackson, asked the gods to claim their kids by the age of 13. I'm 17.

"Yeah, what made you think of that?" I asked, he looked at me strangely. 

"I like you Summer." He spoke after a few minutes wait. Shocked I decided to play dumb.  

"Good, seeing that you're having to put up with me for a day." Grinning at his reaction. The he smiled, took my hand and said

"I think you know what I mean, liquorice." Yes, you read right, he called me liquorice. It's only because I like to dye my hair extravagant colours. Pink, red, blue. At the moment its natural but once I dyed it artificial black, liquorice black. Thus, the nickname was born. We saw it. The sphinx walked up the bar and order a coffee. Who orders just a coffee at Starbucks? Sphinxes! The mist must have made it look like a normal woman as no-one but us could see the giant cat. She came to sit on the table by us, winking at us as she did. That's when we got up and left. The sphinx drained her coffee and left, following us. We ran into the back ally ways, into a small bricked path. But yet, the sphinx followed us. Then you know the story from their. Okay, back to the present. We ran back to the garage, because it had been over a hour. The man said that the van was fine and safe to drive. Also that we were a cute couple, this I blushed at. We made our way to back to camp half blood, with out talking about what Theo had said before.
