We get to the big house and it in the meeting room. I look at each cabin counselor and notice some people missing.

“Where is Percy and Annabeth?” I ask.

Chiron answers, “They are in the labyrinth on a quest.”

“Do they know that the whole Titan army is in there, probably trying to find the path to here?” I snap.

He shakes his head.

“Not good at all.” I pace back and forth.

If they don't know they could lead them here. Sighing I stop and put my hands on my hips.

“I have to go in.” I say.

Everyone looks at me as though I have gone insane.

“Quintus have you seen the entrance? ” I ask.

He hesitates but nods, “Of course, but is this wise?”

I am already out the door. He follows me and leads us to the door. Suddenly I am tackled by a big Hellhound. Quintus calls off the dog.

“I think she likes you.” he laughs.

I stand up, “She is cute, but needs to like me a little less.”

He laughs and orders the dog, “Help watch camp Mrs. O’Leary.”

She runs off and I smile, “Good dog.”

He nods, “Yes she is. Come on this is the entrance.”

We walk down the pathway and come to a fork. Quintus goes to the left while I go right. Damn this place is creepy. Walking around I start to hear cheering. I walk to the seats that are around an arena. Looking over I see my brothers 2nd least favorite son and Luke. They smile at the battles below. Soon a half blood looks over towards me. I back into the shadows.

When the kid looks back down I run back into the path. I run for a while until I see a boy with a happy meal. Looking closely I recognize Nico.

“Nico Di’Angelo.” I call.

He turns to me shocked clearly, “Aurora.”

I walk over to him and sit down, “Why are you here?”

“Percy broke his promise. She died and won't talk to me.”

“I meant why are you in the labyrinth?” I ask.

He looks down, “I just ran here.”

Soon I can feel the presence of King Minos, “No he brought you here.”

Minos smiles at me evilly, “Nice to see you, my lady.”

“What lies have you told Nico?” I growl.

“None, he is my master.” he acts mock innocent.

I grab my sword, “No he isn't you are trying to trick him.”

Nico asks, “What are you talking about?”

“Minos only helps himself.” I reply.

Minos smirks cruelly, “You are right.”

Running sounds down the path and several empousa show up. They smile at me with their fangs out.

“Our Lord will want you as well.” one hisses.

“To bad for him.” I take my sword out, “Nico run fast and far.”

He runs and Minos disappears. I cut each of the girls heads off and run after Nico.
