Chapter 2: CAMP TIME! (: NOT
I couldn't speak I was so confused ad shocked.
"Alex? You ok---"asked Grover
"What was that?" I asked calmly, Mr. Brunner was sitting in his wheelchair. He was probably shocked too.
"A Fury...sent by..." His voice trailed off. "What did she want?"
"She said something about me being one of "them" and that whatever happened she wouldn't let me meet the other six?" I say confused.
"Oh no...they have a found her," he wailed. "Grover...take her to camp, that's the safest place for her now." Grover nodded and looked at me. I glared at him waiting for an explanation. But he just starts walking out of the room.
"You better go," said Mr. Brunner.
"You have to tell me what's going on or else I won't leave," I demanded.
"I can't say anything right now...asks Grover when you get to the camp. Now go!" Yelled Mr. Brunner. His voice was loud but I don't if it he was mad or scared but I dint stick around to figure out.

"Hey! Grover, wait up!" I yell as I ran to catch up to Grover. He was limping pretty fast with his crutches." Grover...please tell me what the heck is going on?"
"I will as soon as we get to camp," he said, he didn't even look at me.
"Camp? What camp?" I asked. "Ugh never mind, just tell me where we are going,"
"We have to go and tell your mom about what's going on," He replies.
"Oh so you tell my mom but not the person all this is happening to...me" I mutter under my breath. We weren't very far from my home but since Grover probably couldn't walk...or limp over there, I suggested taking the bus. But Grover wouldn't agree, so we kept walking.

When we were only a block away from my house, I could already smell Gabe's excruciating stench.
"Here come the tears," says Grover.
"You can stay out here, I'll go bring mom out ok," I say laughing. Grover HATES Gabe's smell, its like he's allergic. Its pretty funny.
"No, I am okay. Come on we have to hurry," I ran up the stairs while Grover took the elevator. We lived on the 33 floor, I was used to walking up that many stairs but Grover wasn't and with his crutches it probably wasn't a good idea.
As I went up the last few steps I saw Grover waiting by the door.
"Shall we?' He asked
"We shall" I laugh. I started to knock on the door but before my fist collided with the wood, the door sung open and my mom came rushing out and pulling me in her arms.
"Oh sweetie your ok!" she sobered. "I was so worried, Mr. Brunner called me and told me everything" She turned to look at Grover. "And yes I give you permission to take Alex...But be careful. Do you want me to come? I could drive, I am sure it will be safer."
"Mom, mom we are fine we will take the subway or something I'm sure we will be fine." I say trying to calm her down. "I just needed to say goodbye, before we left," I say not letting go of her.
"I know sweetheart," she says letting go. "I love you,"
"I love you too," I smile, turning to Grover. 'Lets go I say,"
