Percy whipped around and scanned the hallway, "I don't see anything. Are you sure there is one?"

"Of course I am," retorted Thalia insulted that Percy would insinuate that she was wrong. "I know I felt something."

"Let's keep our guards up," Annabeth said, "Just because we don't see anything, doesn't mean there is really nothing there." Everyone nodded in agreement just as the bell for homeroom rang.

Thalia was especially jumpy on her way to homeroom. They were all very powerful demigods, and it was a miracle that they hadn't run into a monster yet, but it was only a matter of time before there was an attack. She had definitely sensed a monster earlier; she just didn't know where or who is was. As she was taking a seat in homeroom a couple desks away from Rebekah, Thalia felt it again. It was a kind of sinister presence. It felt kind of old and definitely evil. This was a feeling she often got when she was hunting. Her reverie was broken when a woman walked in.

"Hello children. My name is Mrs. Johnson. Mrs. Smith is out today, so I will be covering all of her classes," the woman said. Once more a chill settled on Thalia's spine. The monster had to be close. Thalia looked around the room searching for any abnormalities, and saw only one. Of course! Thought Thalia. She wanted to smack her head on the desk. How could she have been so stupid? Teachers were, like, monsters' go to roles at schools. In her experience most school teachers were monsters, Greek or otherwise. There were some teachers such as her third grade teacher, Mrs. Phillips, that held a special place in her heart, but they were the exception.

Mrs. Johnson strode down the aisle between the desks, taking roll. As she called out each name, she spoke with a little bit of a lisp. It was almost a hissing sound. Thalia was officially creeped out. She tried to look through the mist to see what the monster looked like, but she was unsuccessful.

Thalia raised her hand. "May I go to the bathroom?" As soon as she got outside, retrieved Annabeth and Nico from one homeroom and Percy and Will from another. "I found the monster." Everyone stiffened immediately.

Nico was the first to speak. "Who or what is it?"

Thalia's face darkened. "My substitute teacher." There was a pregnant pause. They rarely got the jump on the monster. Usually they found out when it tried to attack and kill them.

"We should confront her before she tries to hurt anyone," suggested Will. His tone made it very clear that it would be hard to convince him to take any other course of action. Every demigod had a fatal flaw and Will's was his desire to protect people especially innocent people from harm. He often put himself at risk in order to protect mortals from stray monsters.

Annabeth shook her head. "It wouldn't be wise to make a scene. Just because the mist covers up what is really going on doesn't mean we won't look suspicious. I say we wait 'till is about to attack and then catch her off guard." The rest of the group even Will nodded in agreement. It was hard to ever argue with Annabeth's logic. "Keep an eye out for when she is about to attack. We need to get her right before she does, so we can minimize damage." Everyone murmured in ascension and walked away.

As she walked back to class, Thalia noticed that Rebekah was standing at her locker. She was probably just grabbing her books, but Thalia found herself wondering how long Rebekah had been there and how much she had heard.

Rebekah was somewhat relieved. Over the last few weeks she had become increasingly suspicious of Annabeth, Percy, Will, Nico and Thalia. She had felt a little guilty about it and had tried to banish and hide her paranoia, but now her suspicions were legitimate. She happily rushed back to homeroom all the while keeping her eye on Thalia because as much as she would like to deny it, she was a Mikaelson and scheming and suspicion are some of the things they do best.

Rebekah arrived back in homeroom shortly after Thalia. Both girls eyed one another. Rebekah attempted to hide her suspicion while Thalia did not. Thalia had never been one for concealing emotions with the exception being when she was sad. Rebekah smiled her signature sweet smile and turned to face the front of the room.

When the bell for first period rang, it was as if all of the students had been struck by lightning. They all jumped up and moved faster than humanly possible to their next class even though they had five minutes to travel between classes. Only Thalia, Rebekah and two other boys stayed in the room because they had their first period class in there. A gaggle of students rushed into the room. Among those students was Will, Annabeth and Nico. Annabeth sat between Thalia and Rebekah while Nico sat on Thalia's other side and Will next to him. Their eyes were quickly drawn to the substitute as she wrote Mrs. Johnson on the whiteboard.

Will narrowed his eyes at her and Thalia started rubbing her thumb over the charm on her bracelet. They were both anxious and just wanted to get this confrontation over with. Waiting was driving them and their ADHD crazy. Despite their very crazy expectations class went on normally. Kids were tried to switch their names(Mrs. Johnson didn't fall for it), people tried to convince her that phones were allowed in class, and the "good children" groaned at the others antics. The monster didn't do anything strange, but this only made the demigods more on edge. Class ended without incident and the demigods were getting ready to leave when they heard someone calling their names.

"Ms. Chase, Ms. Grace, Mr. Di Angelo and Mr. Solace could you please stay after class. I have something I need to talk to you about," Mrs. Johnson said. The quartet exchanged a look and patiently waited for the other students to file out. Mrs. Johnson close the door and sweetly said, "Now let's have that talk."

Rebekah had heard all of the conversation in the hall during homeroom. and it had dawned on her that she could learn a lot from this little talk Mrs. Johnson planned on having, so she lingered just beyond the door. She pretended to be busy on her phone, but she was really concentrating on listening.

She heard just Mrs. Johnson say, "Now let's have that talk," when she started hearing-- was that hissing? She thought. It sounded like Mrs. Johnson was hissing, but that was just her imagination. Wasn't it?

Sorry!!!!! I am so sorry I didn't update. There is no excuse, but it still happened. I just had three major papers the last few weeks and was not in the mood to write even more. Thank you so much to Tally and YusufGav for reviewing. Thanks all for reading! I really appreciate the support. As always constructive criticism is welcome and loved. I hope I'm not taking too many liberties with Will's character, but he is kind of under developed in HOO and part of my OTP.
