"What do you mean she's missing?" Reyna asks rising to her feet.

"She wanted to fight in the battle, but she was way to young." Travis starts, "And plus she only got here yesterday."

"When she saw a gap where the door was open in the armory she ran out to join the battle." Conner continues.

"We haven't see her since, and it's killing us." Travis finishes.

"There's no time to waste we have to find her." Reyna says and behind to walk. "Where can she be?"

"We only shown her about half of Camp and we've checked those places." Conner runs his hands through his hair.

"Did you check the woods?" Reyna asked and their eyes go wide.

"Why would she be in there?"

"She can get killed!" Conner said and then fakes sobs, "Who is going to help me play pranks on Travis."

Travis half smiles and then playful shoves Conner.

"Have you told Chiron?" Reyna ask as she's at the edge of the woods.

"Yes but there are lots of camper missing or." Conner chokes out the last part, "Dead."

That sends a cold chill down Reyna's back and she runs into the woods. With the boys yelling after her.

She runs until her legs feel like jelly and she can't can't catch her breath. When she looks at her surrounding she is at a place that's is made of stone and looks like a fist.

Reyna knows yelling for Charlie would be stupid with what lurking in the woods. She leans back against the fist and tried to think of what to do.

Until she hears a soft groan and she quickly looks to see where it came from.

She sees a shape between two trees and it groans again. Reyna rushes over to find Charlie with a slash along her armor and her helmet knocked off. With some blood inside.

"Thank the gods." She flips the girl over on her slide and looks her from head to toe looking for any other wounds.

When Reyna looks at her face a pair of Sky blue eyes stare back at her.

"Who are you?" The girl says and plops herself up against a tree.

"I'm Reyna." Reyna says iron creeping in her voice.

Did she lose her memory? Or is this an imposter?

Her eyes go larger, "Reyna? The praetor of Camp Jupiter?"

Reyna eyes brows knit together she never told Charlie who she was at Camp Jupiter. The girl takes off her breast plate to reveal a purple Camp Jupiter tee shirt.

This isn't Charlie. Reyna thinks and takes a step back her hand over her sword.

"Who are you?"

"Aaron Hale daughter of Mercury." She answers and grabs her arm from across her chest.

"Hale?" Reyna questions.

"Yes. I was on a quest when I was attacked by a hellhound and ended up here. Have you see another girl her she has a pink streak in her hair and brown eyes?"

It seemed all hellhounds attack were campers, Reyna groans mentally, could they go do their actually jobs in the Fields of Punishments.

"No." Reyna shakes her head, "I'm looking for my friend. Are they're any other Romans on the quest with you?"

She has pain in her blue eyes, "He's dead."
