Annabeth and I decided to crash in the Poseidon Cabin that night. We'd have to wake up early to get to Goode, (well, I had to go to school. Annabeth was taking a vacation and was doing her work online.) But I wanted to give my mom a little time to process this new information. I'd told her that I thought they were part of her another set of myths. She hasn't said a word; just got up and walked to her room. Annabeth and I had left to give her some space.

"Pssst! Annabeth!" I hissed. It was midnight, and I'd been wondering all night about the mysterious teenagers: Sophie Foster, Dex Dizznee, Fitz Vacker, Biana Vacker, Tam Song, (that guy was creepy- almost as creepy as Nico di Angelo) Linh Song, Marella Redek, Wylie Endal, Stina Heks, and Maruca Chebota. They all had auras of power, so most likely I would be enduring another interesting conversation along the lines of: "Oh, yeah, we're the children of all powerful deities who rule the world- wanna fight some monsters?"

"ANNABETH!!!" I shouted. I smacked her, and her gray eyes popped open, her hand reaching for her dagger. I had given it to her for her last birthday- hers had been lost when we fell into Tartarus. Gods, Tartarus... I hadn't thought of that place in forever- which was for the better. I had endured the hardest days of my life there with Annabeth. "Annabeth, it's just me!" I shouted. "It's okay!" "What... time is it?" She yawned.

"Twelve-thirty," I admitted. She punched me in the chest. "I couldn't sleep!" I groaned. "I was thinking about that note- should we call them?"

"Since you woke me up for this, I think you shouldn't waste it. So, yes." she conceded.

We were sitting on the beach looking out onto Long Island Sound, where we could have some privacy. I didn't want some poor camper coming in and having their mind exploded. I took a deep breath and managed to scrape up the courage to say, "Show me Sophie Foster."
