Chapter Four:
Marissa’s POV
The uneasy quietness was disturbed by a groan from my mom. I jump in surprise and relief that my mom is okay. “Marissa?” she groans.
“Yeah mom I’m here. What was that thing and why did it call you a daughter of Athena?” I asked in a demanding tone. My mom was quiet. “Answer me mom.”
“I will tell you when your father gets back. Can I have my phone I need to call someone.”
“I already called Leo he is on his way.”
“I need to call some other friends, please give me my phone.” I was fiddling with her phone for the last 5 minutes so I just tossed it. She caught it without even looking and dialed a number. She talked to the person on the other end in whispering tones, “They found us.... Yes she has to get to camp... Leo is coming now... Will you guys meet us there?” Just then the door slammed open with a loud bang and I jumped up to my feet. My heart was in my throat but it was only Uncle Leo. His clothes were slightly smoking but that was normal, for what reason I don’t know. “I”M HERE!” he yelled out of breath like he ran the whole way.
“Shut up Leo or do you want us to be killed!” My mom scolded him. “Now help me get up so we can go to the car and then to camp. Did you Iris Message Chiron yet?” All these terms were foreign to me.
“Mom, we can’t go! I had plans with Lexi and she will freak out if I don’t go!” I tell the adults.
“Lexi will probably be at camp in a few days anyways. You can explain then.” She says. I look to Leo for support but he shrugs and says,
“We have to keep you safe, Lexi will be fine but we got to go now.” I sigh and help my mom stand up.
“Lets go to Camp then!”
Lexi’s POV
I checked my phone for the time. Rissa should have been here by now, detention ended 20 minutes ago. I sighed and the barista called out my name for my caramel frappuccino. I walked up to the pick up counter before starting on my walk to Ris’s house.
I was half way there when I hear someone yell my name, “Lexi, wait up!” I flip around and see the new kid, Sean. He had blond hair and multi-colored eyes that made my heart melt. I was always a hopeless romantic but there was something different about Sean. I stop and wait for him until he catches up.
“Took you long enough.” I joke. He grins and asks,
“Where are you of too?”
“To Ris’s house, we were supposed to go shopping but it seems like she bailed. I’m going to make sure she didn’t just forget, wanna come?” I say hopefully. He grins and says,
“Yeah sure.”
Annabeth’s POV
I was sitting in the passenger seat with Leo driving. Marissa was in the back not making a noise. My head is throbbing from when the Lamia made me smack it on the ground. It would take at least an hour to get to camp, and thats if we speed. Piper and Jason were on their way to camp and Frank and Hazel were with Percy. I send Percy a text saying we are going to camp. He replies almost right away asking, “Are you OK? Ris told me you were unconscious!” I am touched by his worry and respond, “Yeah I’m fine, just got a headache. See you in a few! Love you” I also texted him a kissy face. Leo tricked out our phones so they wouldn’t attract so many monsters. It is probably one of his best inventions. Percy texts back, “kk love you too. Be safe wise girl” I love my seaweed brain.
Lexi’s POV
I start knock on the door to Marissa’s house. I barely touch it when the door creaks open. “That’s not creepy at all!” I whisper. Sean is suspicious and says, “Stay behind me,” My dangerous side wants to say “Hell no I'm going first” but the rest of me says, “Yes you risk your life.” I step aside and let him walk in with me on his heels. The whole house is trashed. The couches are ripped apart and the pictures on the shelves are shattered. The cupboards in the kitchen are wide open with food everywhere. A crash came from upstairs and we slowly start walking up the wooden steps. Noises are coming from Ris’s parents room. “Mrs Jackson?” I call out hesitantly. I am so stupid! That’s exactly how idiotic girls die in movies! The movement stops and the door practically explodes. Something come hurtling at us and Sean pulls something bronze from his backpack. He pulls me out of the way of the thing just in time. It hits against the wall but that doesn’t faze it, or her I should say. She has black hair and unnatural yellow-green eyes. Her bottom half is a thick snake tail. I scream and Sean runs up to creature with what looks like a sword a decapitates its head in one smooth motion. The snake woman explodes into golden dust, covering both me and Sean. I lean against the wall for support and Sean mumbles, “So much for taking it slow.”
“What does that mean?!” I ask my voice rising.
“It means that you got to get to camp. I’m sorry Lexi, I will take you home to pack.” He tells me solemnly.
“What the Hell do you mean ‘I have to get to camp!’” I yell.
“Your dad will have to explain.” He says and starts walking downstairs. I follow him in an angry rage. I completely forgot about the monster and I continue spitting out questions,
“What camp? Why do I have to go? Where did you get the sword?” He looks frustrated and I shut up. We walk in an awkward silence all the way to my home.
