"I'm David Noland!" David said holding his hands back in a peace motion. "Prince Charming."

Connor was supporting Travis and his broken ankle. Frank and the boys shared a look. A look as if saying Who-is-this-lamo? David scrunched his brow. How could they not know who he was?

Suddenly Frank was surrounded but green smoke and he looked around wildly.

"What in Pluto?!" He yelled before the smoke completely covered him and disappeared with a bang that blasted him off his feet.

"Charming!" Grumpy yelled trying to help him up.

David shoulders slumped. The Wicked Witch has struck again. "Do we ever get a break?" He asked dejectively.

Connor POV.

Connor Stoll wasn't planning to be falling from the sky that day. He and Travis had been planning to submerge the Demeter cabin in grape jelly. He'd been planning on hijacking the intercoms at camp and setting up a DJ station. He'd been planning to embarrass Travis and Katie when they went on their date next week. But he definitely had not been planning on falling from the sky with his older brother, holding paintball guns infused with celestial bronze, when a minute ago he had been trying to take out the Hellhounds that had attacked Piper.

Yep that wasn't on his to do list.

Connor and Travis hit the ground hard.

"Hey Connor," Travis groaned.

"Yeah Travis?"

"I don't think falling from the sky was on my to do list today."

"Mine either."

"When is it ever?" Connor jumped, surprised to see they hadn't been alone when they were swept off the battle field. Frank Zhang moaned as he sat up and looked around. "Where are we?"

Connor followed his gaze around the clearing they were in. Apparently they had landed in a forest. Connor felt a strange tension in the air, as if something was watching them, waiting for them to do something. As if that wasn't creepy enough, there wasn't a sound in the air. Travis laughed nervously. Frank shifted his weight.

Connor froze. He could have sworn he just saw something.

"Guys...I propose we leave..." Connor said taking a slow step away from the direction he'd seen the blurb. The leaves crackled under his step. The hairs on the back of his next stood up on end.

"What was that?" Travis asked shakily pointing behind Connor. Connor whipped around stumbling back towards The group. Frank notched an arrow silently, peering into the trees. Connor felt his hand move subconsciously to his pack that held a misellaneous bunch of pranking supplies, which could just as easily be used as a series of very dangerous, very effective weapons.

"DUCK!" Frank yelled. Travis and Connor slammed to the ground spraying dirt and leaves everywhere. That was the last of their problems.

Screeching filed the air as dozens of gray haired creatures leapt down from the tree tops. Connor pulled out a fist full of golden celestial bronze itching powder, and threw it at the one coming straight for him.

The creature shrieked in agony as it slowly disintegrated. Connor noticed that they weren't like the other monsters he'd faced, but barely had time to think about it. Another one came at him. Connor raised his gun hoping his dad, Hermes, would be able to see them.
