The New Camper (a Percy Jackson fanfiction)

The Princess Andromeda

My Hippocampus bounded across faster than anyone else's. "just a little further Scales." I smiled and looked across to the gleaming lights of cruise ship where they were holding Ethan captive as the sun started to rise, casting a pinkish-orangey glow to the clouds.

It was disgusting.

We approached the ship as the sun was almost completely in the sky.

We hopped off the Hippocampi and thanked them.

"Bye bye rainbow." Said Tyson, a tear forming in his giant eye.

"Later Scales." I patted his head as he whinnied and licked my hand.

We tiptoed across the deck and peeked around a corner to see glassy eyed passengers.

There was a dad with his son and daughter.

"Lets go to the pool, kids." Said the dad, like a robot.

"Lets go have a blast at the pool." Said the kids, the exact same way as their dad.

They walked off.

"What the hell was that! They're like zombies." I said.

Percy looked around the corner. "Guys, you might want to take a look at this."

We all looked around a little more to see monsters getting smoothies, swimming, sunbathing, everything. The point is MONSTERS EVERYWHERE!

I put on my red toms, slid off my camp half blood t-shirt, and put on a tank top. Annabeth did the same with hers.

Percy put on a black t-shirt, and we all put on sunglasses.

"I think we can find a room now." Said Tyson.

We walked across the deck and into the cabins.

My stomach became queasy when we passed a room where some legionaries were hacking at a straw dummy with a camp half blood t-shirt. I shuddered as they stabbed it through its stomach, spilling straw all over the floor. They cheered.

I took a deep breath as we found an empty room.

I sat on the bed, pulling out my iPod. I put on the song "Safe and Sound" by Capital Cities. I really needed something to tell me to calm down. Being on this cruise was making he nervous.

"Hey, Pammy, were going to look around, you should come too." Said Tyson.

Annabeth came over to me. "I just want to get Nakamura, kick Luke's ass, and get out of here while we're docked in New York."

"Sounds good. In my dream, it was all dark so they must be under the deck." I told them.

"Lets get down there then." Said Percy as we took off heading down the stairs.

We walked down to the lowest floor and put each of our ears to the door.

At the first door, we heard raspy snoring.

"These are the monster cabins." Said Percy.

"Not this one." Said Tyson. He had his ear pressed up against the main door at he end of the hall.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Tyson listened, his voice changed to a deeper approximation of Luke's it was exact.

"-the prophecy ourselves. The fools won't know which way to turn."

Tyson's voice changed to a deep, gruff voice that I'm sure I heard on the veranda when we were sneaking around.

"You're sure the old horseman is gone for good?"

Tyson laughed Luke's laugh. "They can't trust him, not with the skeletons in his closet. The poisoning of the tree was the final straw."

Annabeth shivered. "Stop that Tyson. It's kinda creepy."

Tyson shrugged. "Just listening." He pressed his ear back against the door.

His voice turned back into the deep, gruff one."Quiet!"

He talked in Luke's voice. "Right outside?"

(Uh, oh!)

"Run!" I shouted as the door swung open. There stood Luke and two guards.

"Welcome."
