Nancy's POV

All the campers stayed where they were, but their eyes were glued to half horse and half human creature that Nancy knew from Greek Mythology as a centaur.

Percy just smiled as he watched my amazed expression.

"Now that's our activities director." Annabeth smiled pleasantly at Chiron.

"W-wait." I turned back to Percy. "I-Isn't that- isn't that Mr. Brunner."

Percy nodded. "Yeah, he's actually a centaur. You'll get used to it."

Moments later Chiron came over to our table. "Hello Percy, Annabeth, and-" he turned to me and Jasmine, his head cocked to the left, as he towered over us.

"I'm Nancy," I say. He must not recognize me.

Jasmine next to me stated her name too.

"Well it's nice to meet our new recruits." Chiron said fondly. "Is Mr. D not here yet, he was supposed to come back today."

Percy just shook his head as Annabeth said, "No. But how did the conference go?"

"It's okay, although I heard some interesting news from a forest nymph on my way back."

Percy and Annabeth both whitened considerably.

Chiron's face became hard. "How did one of the most powerful demigods and angriest i may add, get kidnapped?"

Annabeth sighed. "We don't know Chiron but without the help of Grover we'll get no where so we just have to wait."

Chiron's eyes narrowed. "This isn't usually what you two are known for doing? Did you make or authorize this plan at all?"

This time it was Percy who spoke. "We can't do anything right now, the only person or nymph in this case who knows anything has a grudge against demigods and will only talk Grover."

Chiron just nodded and stroked his chin, obviously thinking before saying, "I can try to contact him so he'll come back early but I can't promise anything." Chiron then walked away, probably going to contact someone to contact Grover as Jasmine whispered into Nancy's ear, "Meet me in the amphitheatre in 10 minutes." Then she turned back to the group and announced "I'm going to go now, and rest a little before my next lesson."

A chorus of "ok"'s greeted Jasmine's statement as she walked away.

"Me too," I said and everyone nodded as I left.

I walked to the amphitheater and found Jasmine sitting on a seat in the corner.

"What do you think we should do?" I ask her.

She smiled proudly. "We go into the woods and find the small death boy."

My mouth made an 'o' shape in the midst of my confusion. "What? Why would we do that? We have no proper training and will probably die in there!"

Jasmine shrugged. "Nothing will bother us, not with you here." At my confused look, Jasmine added, "I heard Annabeth and Percy commenting on how you weren't bothered in the woods."

"Still tho-"

Jasmine interrupted, "C'mon, I'm going anyways, you don't have to come."

"Okay,"

"Excuse me," Jasmine narrowed her eyebrows at me.

"Okay, I won't go." I say.

Jasmine's jaw dropped. "WHy nOt?"

"Um.. cause... let's see here... oh yeah: I DONT WANT TO DIE!" I scream the last part in her face, and then turn on the heal of my sneaker and walk away feeling oddly proud of myself.

Nancy being rude just gives me life. You guys like my surprise? I probably shouldn't post this chapter cause it's trash but I wanted to do so yea. There you go. As a late holiday gift I give you... *duh dun dunnnn* a chapter to an 'oh hold' story! Thanks for reading!
