Chapter 7

Percy's POV

*Just after they stepped out of apartment*

Taking a breath of the New York air, I couldn't help but feel slightly worried about heading back to camp

"You ok Perce?" Thalia asked, seeming to sense my worry

"Just worried about camp, I haven't been there since Annabeth's death." I said.

"Well obviously you haven't been there, you just woke yesterday." Thalia said, rolling her eyes, "Besides that, you have nothing to worry about, the older campers love you like a brother, and most of the younger ones worship you, everything will be fine." She continued, resting her hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner, "Now how about we find a way to get to camp."

Upon hearing her discuss a way to get to camp, I couldn't help the smirk coming across my face at the many different methods I had.

"And don't even think of calling Blackjack!" Thalia threatened, "I still hate heights, and I'm not afraid to throw you off of the pegasus."

"Ok, ok, I wouldn't dream of it." I said, placatingly, "but how does mist travel sound?" I asked.

"What is mist travel?" Thalia asked.

"It is an ability I have as a son of Poseidon, I pull apart mine and whoever I am taking with me's body, and turn it into mist before sending us to our location and piecing us back together." I responded, smiling.

"How about no, I like my body how it is." Thalia said, seeming to shudder at the thought of being pulled apart.

"Fine." I huffed, "How about I ask Mrs. O'Leary?" I asked, trying to remember if she had ever met my hellhound.

"Who?" Thalia asked, obviously confused, and answering my unasked question.

"Oh you are gonna love her!" I said excitedly, "Just don't kill her please." I continued, remembering that O'Leary was in fact a hellhound, and not really wanting my dog to die.

"Not kill her? Why would I kill her? I don't even know who she is!" Thalia responded, obviously irritated with me not explaining anything.

"Well you almost met her, back when Persephone summoned us about the sword that Hades had made." I responded, thinking back. "But you are gonna love her, now stand back." I continued, using my water powers to make an Ice whistle out of the air, before blowing in it, hoping that it would work.

After a couple of seconds later, I noticed the shadows starting to condense on one area, before the second largest hellhound I had ever seen popped out in front of me, though I did notice that she was looking a little larger than the last time I had seen her.

"HELLHOUND!!" Thalia screamed, pulling out her spear and her shield Aegis

"Woah Woah Woah!" I said, running to stop Thalia from stabbing my dog, "Hold up Thals! This is Mrs. O'Leary!"

"What?!?" She Screamed, "This Hellhound!" she continued, gesturing towards Mrs. O'Leary, who leaped with excitement, probably thinking Thalia was gonna throw the spear for her to fetch, "is your pet?!?"

"Well, yes." I said simply, "I got her from Daedalus."

"Daedalus...." Thalia said, now resorting to staring at Mrs. O'Leary in shock, "So you have had her for like three years?"

"Yep! She usually stays in the underworld with Cerberus, but every once in a while I call her out to play catch the greek and other games." I said, happy to show Mrs. O'Leary off.
