//Near Westover Hall//

Percy's POV

Next Day

We were in Argus's van and we were travelling to Westover Hall. Sitting beside me were, Annabeth and Thalia. Thalia was listening to Green Day on her iPod, while Annabeth looked quite bored. We would be there in a few minutes. 

After a few minutes we reached Westover Hall, and my word. It looked like a freaking fortress. We knocked on the doors and the huge doors which made us look very small opened with a loud creak.

We walked into the hall and two teachers were standing there as if waiting for us. 

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Thalia stepped up and snapped her fingers and something rippled in front of us. She had manipulated the mist. Dad had taught me how to do it but I had never actually used it. 

"We're students of this school." Thalia said.

The man looked suspiciously at us,"What do you think Ms. Gotschalk?" Seriously, a teacher named Gotschalk? It must be weird when someone asked her for chalk. Hey Gotschalk, got chalk? Stupid ADHD. I looked at Gotschalk who said with a confused face, "Yes they are students from here, Vice Principal Thorn." He nodded.

"What were you doing outside and why aren't dressed for the dance?"

"We had gone for a little adventure down the road and we didn't want to go to the dance." Thalia said.

"The dance is compulsory, so I suggest you go to the dance." 

Suddenly, another door creaked and Grover came up to us, not seeing the teachers, "You made it!"

"What do you mean by 'You made it' Mr. Underwood?" Thorn asked.

"I meant sir that they made the punch that everyone loves at the dance." Grover said hurriedly as he finally noticed the teacher.

Thorn nodded, "Now go to the dance."

Grover led us to the ballroom. "Who's the monster?"

"Oh, you just met him. It's the Vice Principal, Dr. Thorn."

Ok, I knew something was wrong about him but I didn't think he was the monster.

"Where are the twins?" Thalia asked.

He pointed towards two children, one was a boy of about 10 years old, who was wearing a cap and the other was about 11 or 12 who was probably the boy's sister. 

Those were my siblings. I also noted that everyone was staring towards us for our weird getup and also for the fact that we were not dancing.

"We need to dance, we can get the twins later. We just need to keep an eye on them."

They nodded and Thalia grabbed Grover while I danced with Annabeth. Many tried hitting on Annabeth and me. The ones who hit on me were turned away by Annabeth's glare, while those who hit on Annabeth were turned away by my glare. We did not have any feelings for each other. We had a brother-sister relationship.

After a few minutes of dancing I said, "Hey Annie, I'm going to get us some punch okay?"

She nodded and I went towards the punch stall, when I noticed something wrong. Nico and Bianca were nowhere to be seen. I looked around frantically, when I saw Thorn leeading them through a back door. I looked for Annabeth and our eyes met, she must have seen them going out as well. Get Thalia and Grover, I mouthed. She nodded.
