On the Run (Demigods)

Where's Hylla?!?!

Where's Hylla?!?!

Ok, so I am freaking out right now. I can't find Hylla anywhere. Kelli is out training at CHB, Lyd and Luke are over with Gaea, Bob is at CHB with Astella. Piper and Jason haven't seen her and neither have their kids. Mom and Dad are out to see Rachel and Piper and Jason just left with their kids for a day trip to see Thalia. Leo is down at CHB too and Calypso isn't feeling well. I'm all alone.

I searched EVERYWHERE for Hylla. She's not watching T.V. But what I don't understand is that the T.V. was left on to her favorite show, Star Wars Rebels. (Don't ask me why she likes that show.) Hylla ALWAYS turns the T.V. off. She's a big preserve nature freak. 

I didn't hear her leave or anything. True, I had my headphones on but she would have told me she was leaving. She is the good kid. She always tells someone where she is going. And since it was only myself and the Grace's upstairs, she didn't tell anyone else she was leaving. 

A thought just dawned on me. What if she was kidnapped?! We have no magic barrier around our set of houses, just camoflaged guards-in-training from CHB. I'm checking with the guards. Brb. -A

15 min later~~

There are no guards out there! They are all missing. What's in their place though, are big claw marks. I'm recalling every monster mom and dad have run into. Oh snap! THE MANTICORE! I'm switching this to my phone. I'll keep you updated. I'm running down to CHB. -A

25 min later~~

Chiron said that the guards came running back to CHB, screaming something about a poor little girl. Chiron himself said he saw the manticore running away with something in it's maw. I cringe inside to think that the 'something' in its maw, was my little sister.

Right now I'm in Bunker 9 with Jack, who is attempting, but failing, to contact Mom and Dad. I texted both of them and called them twice each. I even called Rachel. She said they weren't there yet, but when they got there she would have them call me. 

Kelli is freaking out. Jack and Leo, the only calm ones, sent her to notifiy the campers about the manticore that's on the loose. The Hunters of Artemis are on the hunt too. The rest of the Jackson and Valdez  families are on their way. So far Gaea, Lyd, and Luke are here. Astella too. But no Bob. 

That puzzles me. Bob and Astella were playing here at CHB. So when Astella showed up with no Bob, Lyd freaked. Astella managed to stammer out, that she and Bob were playing near the woods with a frisbee, and she threw it too hard, so it went flying into the woods. She said Bob went after it but never came back. She waited 20 minutes for him but he never came out. So she ran here. 

Leo and some other campers ran into the woods as soon as Astella was done telling us about it. Caylpso managed to get down here and is now sleeping on a cot. Nobody is safe within that area anymore.

Piper, Jason, & company showed up too. Somebody texted them to come back. Jason left the bunker as soon as he steppped foot into it and took off for the woods. Piper put a sleeping Reyna on Caylpso's cot and ran off too, with a warning to Bianca and Drake to behave. It turns out both of them were worn out from traveling, so they crashed on another cot. 

Jack got some food and brought it to Bunker 9. Everybody was forced to eat a little bit, even if they just had lunch. He also managed to get some ambrosia and nectar for Calypso, so now she is taking care of baby Reyna.

Kelli was dead on her feet from running around camp, so she was forced to take a nap. Jack found dozens of cots in a storage closet, so everyone got their own cot. Lyd is asleep and now so is Luke and Gaea. Astella is in Jack's arms trying to stay awake but failing. Eventually Jack put her to bed.

I'm tired too, so I'm going to take a quick nap. I'll be back later with more info. Bye
