Chapter Twelve
That night Abigail, Veronica, and Jughead were getting their things ready to go. They needed everything to be kept a secret....it was going fine until someone knocked on the door to Jughead's cabin.
Jughead went and opened the wooden door and just stared at who was in front of him.
"What are you guys doing here?" he asked
"We are coming with you" Archie and Betty demanded simultaneously
"Like hell you are" Veronica said getting distracted. "This is way too dangerous for you guys"
"We've been training really hard recently, and it's time that we put that hard work to the test. Please" Betty pleaded
"Ronnie they could help us. He is the son of Ares after all" Abigail said gesturing to Archie. "And her mother is the goddess of hunting" she said about Betty
"Fine, one mess up though and you're both getting sent back to camp. Get your things we leave within the hour"

At the entrance to camp Veronica, Abigail, Jughead, Betty, and Archie were hiding from the guards that were making sure nothing got in or out of camp. They waited for a few minutes to see if they would change shifts but instead Betty threw a bunch of rocks into their direction making a rustling sound within the leaves. All of the guards went over to where the noise was.
The group then made a break for it.
Once they were outside they started to sprint through the woods so that none of the guard could see them running out of camp.
"Now how do we find the fleece?" Betty asked
"Well Polyphemus is guarding the fleece, so we find Polyphemus, then we find the fleece" Jughead said not having a direct answer
"Yeah because it's just that easy to find a mythological creature in the real world" Archie said sarcastically
Veronica's eyes widen as she got up and said "I have an idea, but we need to get to the south shore of Long Island" she said ".... and we're going to need Betty for this also" she added in
At the edge of the woods the group waited at a local bus station that would get then from Camp Half-Blood to the south shore of Long Island. Veronica's plan involved the water in order to get them to get them to the lost Island home of Polyphemus. While waiting for the bus Jughead was reading about the legends of Polyphemus in a book that he got from the camp's library. He had his eyes glued to the book while Veronica held onto his shaky hands that she noticed when the book was slowly shaking on his lap.
The bus pulled up and when the doors swung open a man asked "where you kids headed?"
"As close to the water on the south shore as you can get us" Abigail said not having a destination in mind
