“Percy?” I asked in disbelief.
A kitten hid in a corner, mewing. No one else noticed, though, so I guess I’m just going cazy.
“Are you really Bianca?” he replied. “How are you here?”
The girl with grey eyes who I think was the girl Percy was looking for on the quest smirked, “Obviously Seaweed Brain, she went to Elysium, applied for half rebirth, and got it. Haven’t you ever listened to Nico?”
Katia looked completely and utterly confused. “Bianca, do you know these people from before you-” she stopped abruptly.
I slowly nodded my head.
“And are they the people from this other camp you’re constantly talking about?” Katia continued.
Yet again, I nodded.
Then there was an awkward silence as everyone took in everything. Katia made a turtle with her hands. We both burst out laughing, and Percy and Annabeth looked at us oddly. Then there was another awkward silence.
The Silence was finally broken by a huge, “Roar!”
The kitten suddenly grew into a giant skeleton sabertoothed cat. It first went for Percy and Annabeth, leaping at them and tearing Annabeth’s backpack to shreds. Percy yelled, “ Small Bob! What are you doing?”
Annabeth glanced at him. “I don’t think this is Small Bob, Percy.”
“Maybe it’s Small Bob’s evil cousin, whoever that is,” Katia suggested. Then, she beckoned at me. I walked over to her. “Why can’t we just leave them?”
“Because,” I said, “we have to get to Camp Half Blood.”
A look of understanding crossed her face, just before she leapt into battle screeching, “DIE SmallBob’sevilcousinwhoeverthatis!” I smiled and began to shoot arrows at the monster. Of course, I was a little rusty, so barely half of them hit it. At last, after a stab to the neck from Katia, the cat disintegrated.
Percy looked at us. “Katia, are you a demigod?”
I knew she wasn’t, and Katia had never spoken of what happened before her death, but for some reason, she told Percy some of her past. “I’m from Camp Jupiter, descendant of a god.” Percy nodded. At some point, he must have visited Camp Jupiter, because Camp Half Blood was all pure demigods, none of them lived long enough to have kids.
“Cool. That means you can join our crew. We’re heading towards camp right now.”
As we walked, a huge warship came into view. Its tall sails whipped in the wind. A bronze dragon masthead spewed a bit of fire before becoming still again. I shook my head and blinked a few times to make sure it was real, but sure enough, the dragon swung its head around in the other direction. A I walked onto the ship, I noticed many hidden weapons and stiffened up, wondering if this was some sort of trick. My suspicions were confirmed when a voice coming from some speakers said, “Welcome aboard the Argo II. How many prisoners have you brought us this time?”
I couldn’t move. My hands got all clammy and all I could think about was that I had led Katia to her doom.
“Ha! If I were you, Mr. I’m So Cool, I’m The Commander Who Probably Built This Ship, I would be running away fast. I also wouldn’t be taking prisoner daughters of Hades, former hunters of Artemis, and slayers of Small Bob’s Evil Cousin, and boy is he vicious. By doing this, you’re making a whole bunch of deities mad. Really, really mad. Oh, and Zoe Nightshade, too. She and her sisters can get pretty mad. Calypso’s probably the worst, but she’s away on Ogygia.” I could hear angry breaths coming from the speakers. “Maybe I should stop,” Katia finished.
