"Let's do this." 

—————————————

You gasped as you woke up. You groggily rubbed the sleep out of your eyes as you sat up in your bed. He's alive, I know it! He's planning on escaping! But then another thought entered your head. Apollo has been captured too? No wonder why I haven't been getting warnings or messages from him. Well I ought to tell the others! So with that you hurried out of your room. 

You bolted down the hall towards the dining room when you ran into someone, literally. 

You fell straight to your bottom while the person you ran into did the same. You looked to see you have bumped right into no other than the Bad Boy Supreme. 

"Sorry are you alright?!" I hurriedly asked him.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why are you so en...."

"David's alive! You need to gather the others. I had a dream vision." I seriously commanded. Leo nodded. 

"Yes ma'am! Would you like me to say a daily joke while I'm at it or..."

"Now Valdez!" With that he scurried off towards the control room. 

You got off the ground and started towards the dining room again, a moment later Leo's voice was booming over the load speakers. 

"Attention kids this is your captain speaking. Y'all need to get yourselves into the mess hall for a meeting immediately..." Good Leo did his job.

"...AND ONE MORE THING! All DA LADIES LUV LEO!!! Commander Toolbelt signing out!" This was followed by an ear-piercing screech over the intercom. You heard groans of everyone in their rooms, not pleased by the method of their waking. You saw Leo coming around the corner. 

"Well done Valdez. Now let's go."

——five minutes later———

"I'm here! I'm here! What did I miss?" A disgruntled looking Jaguar came running in, her hair not combed. You watched as Leo's face turned beet red, his ears smoking. You were trying so hard not to laugh at his reaction. Jaguar looked confused. "What's up?" She asked, very puzzled.

"Harry Potter huh?" He asked while indicating towards her clothing. She looked down and turned as red as Leo. She was wearing black pajama shorts with golden snitches patterned on them and a black pajama shirt with gold lettering that read 'I got 99 problems and a golden snitch ain't one of them'. 

"Uh...be right back." She rushed off to change. You finally burst out laughing unable to contain it anymore. Leo frowned. 

"It wasn't like that!!! I just never seen her in pjs before. Especially Harry Potter ones." Leo exclaimed, defending himself. You waved it off. 

"Sure Valdez." You rolled your eyes while grinning. 

He was going to reply back but didn't get he chance. Nico entered the room. 

"What is the meaning of this meeting?" He asks a little grumpy, he rubbed his eyes tiredly. 

"Y/n had a dream vision." Leo states. Nico's eyes widened, suddenly awake.

"Was their news of our quest? Are you all right?" He asks worriedly. It was cute how Nico went from grumpy to a caring brother in a matter of seconds. He kind of treated you like a sister, wether you were just hanging out or upset or joking around with each other, yes Nico does joke around. 

"I'm ok, and yes there is something that could effect our quest. But I'll go more into detail wen everyone else is here." Just as you said that everyone else trickled in, some still with a 'bed head'. 

Once everyone was seated, you stood up, taking lead.

"I have summoned this meeting because I have received news trough a dream vision." Everyone remained silent, knowing anything could happen in a dream vision. 

"I have news on David. He is alive, but being held captive along with Nike and my f...Apollo." It didn't feel normal to say 'my father' to describe a god, especially since you never grew up with one either. Both men that had a relationship with your mom had left her, Apollo and s/n's dad. 

"They are planning an escape, but they'll never make it out on their own. We have to help them." You glared around the room, challenging anyone to disagree. No one did. 

"I also gathered an idea of where the Helm of darkness is." You've been studying nonstop. You used the laptop Annabeth gave you and searched for a 'four heads' in South Dakota, remembering the prophecy. That was your best bet that the four heads must be where they are keeping the helm. 

"Correct me if I'm wrong Jaguar, but Mount Rushmore happens to be in South Dakota correct?"

"Yes, I've been there quite a few times."

"I believe that the 'four heads' referred in the prophecy is talking about Mount Rushmore."

"That would make sense. But mind you, it's a good long while away, and we are already in Wyoming. It would take us probably two days tops to get there and we only have six days left. I suggest we leave a day or two extra for Incase something happens that will delay us." Jaguar states. 

"I agree, that is a good idea and we will have to work quickly. We are almost at Devil's Tower and we just snatch David and the other homies and bolt for Mount Rushmore. I estimate it will take us three days to get from South Dakota to Long Island Sound. Festus reports that there are no major problems that will affect our travel until it so happens." Leo adds in. 

"So that's settled, anymore news?" Asks a slightly nervous b/f/n. 

"Yes. Unfortunately I have some bad news as well." This time everyone seemed to slump in their seat, when can there ever be no bad news? 

You gave a sad smile, "we are walking into a trap."

Random POV: 

A demigod walked alone in the long, dark corridor. He silently cursed to himself as he forced his big, bulky body faster down the corridor, not wanting to make his master impatient. He combed his dark brown hair with his fingers, his red eyes flashing with panic. He let out a small sigh when he came to the big, grand, black doors to his master's room. He knocked. 

"Come in." Said an ancient, deep voice. It caused shivers to run down his spine as he nervously opened the doors. 

"You summoned me sir?" The demigod warrior worriedly questioned. 

"Yes, I need reports. Are they on their way here?"

"The ship sir? Yes, they will be arriving any minute. Do you want us to prepare the surprise?" 

"That will be fine, make sure the demigods are captured alive though, we will need them."

"Yes sir." 

The powerful figure then nodded, "off you go, but if the demigods do succeed in escaping, make sure they make it to their next destination, a bigger surprise awaits them their." The dark figure grinned, a grin so cold and sinister that it would make Zeus tremble. The demigod vigorously nodded his head, "as you wish sir." 

The demigod left the room, giving out orders to monsters and demigods alike. The dark, powerful figure chuckled.

"Yes, just wait little heroes...there are many surprises to come."
