We stood at the to of the Chrysler building watching the van swerve every which way.

"What has gotten into Argus?" I asked Blackjack

'That's not Argus driving boss'

"Then who is it?" I asked

'That boy'

"Which boy Blackjack there's two?" I asked kinda annoyed

'The blonde one not the satyr'

"Alexander?"

'That's the one'

"Why is he swerving like that"

'That girl...'

I rolled my eyes "Which one" Although when I thought about it the answer was obvious

'The one with the thing in her hair'

"Zoë" I muttered. She was trying to take the wheel of course. Right when we were about to jump off the building Blackjack whinnied in alarm and just about threw me off. Something was wrapping around my leg in for a split second I thought it was a snkae but I relaized it was a vine. Grape vines.

"Going somewhere?" Mr. D mocked

'God alert it's the wine dude!' Blackjack panicked throwig his head about.

Mr. D rolled his eye annoyed with Blackjack and turned his attention towards me

"You thought the almighty all powerful camp director wouldn't notice you missing?" Mr. D "Plus that annoying little brat from the Apollo cabin was crying that you were missing" He groaned

"Mason he was crying?" I asked

"I remember his excat words were 'Mr. D Mr.D da...I mean Percy is missing'" Mr. D mimicked Masons voice perfectly it was freaky. Wait da... oh whatever

"I should just throw you off this building without the horse here see how much your 'son' misses you then" Mr. D growled

I balled my fists in anger but tried to keep my mouth shut "Why do you hate me! What did I ever do to YOU!" I exploded

Mr. D's eyes flickered purple and I knew that couldn't be good. "You're a hero boy, I need no other reason."

"I have to go on this quest Mr. D you don't understand!"

"Did I ever tell you the story of Ariadne? Beautiful princess of Crete?" he asked I rolled my eyes

"You've never told me a story at all" I was growing frustrated as the van was going farther and farther and out of sight to. "She helped a young hero once named Theseus, also a son of Poseidon. She gave him the ball of magical yarn that lead him saftly through the Labyrinth. And do you know how he rewarded her"

I wanted to answer Who the Hades cares! But I didn't figure that would help. "They eloped got married happily ever after right" I muttered

"Not quite he promised that if she ran away with him he would marry her but halfway through his trip to Athens he ,what do you mortals say... dumped her on a little island Naxos I found her alone and heartbroken. She gave up everything for a ungrateful hero who tossed her aside"

"Thats wrong yeah nut what do I have to do with that?" I asked

"I fell in love with Ariadne, I healed her broken heart and when she died I made her my immortal wife in fact she still awaits me"

"You're married!?" I asked maybe Victoria loving me wasn't so crazy after all

"The point is you accuse me of not understanding you're dilema Peter, but oh I understand you are on this mission for 'love' do you not?" he asked
