Here's Chapter 2! :) :) :)


Two days later, we hadnt even left Manattan and the trip was already going wrong.

"So, I'm going to have to walk to the Caribbean, arent I?" I asked, staring at the Dare's private plane parked on the runway.

"We, uh, could always, um, ask Zeus to be nice and make an execption..." Rachel mumbled.

"Oh yeah, that would work. 'Mighty Zeus, King of all Gods, can you please be nice to the son of Poseidon and maybe not knock our plane out of the sky?' Yup, sounds like a good plan to me." Annabeth said sarcasticly, rolling her eyes.

Rachel glared at her. "It's not like you have any better ideas. You-"

"Guys!" I cut in before things could get ugly.

"Sorry..." They both muttered.

"Okay, so going through the air...not a good idea...what if I swim? I am son of the sea god." I suggested.

"Do you realize how far the Carribean is from the southern most point of Florida? Let alone New York? It would take you forever even if you're the son of the sea god." Annabeth, always the practical one.

"Wait! I got it! Hold on." Rachel reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone. She ran off around the back of the plane.

"How did we not think of this BEFORE today?" Annabeth smacked me on the back of the head.

"Ow! What the Hades!"

"We should have thought of these kinds of things!"

"Your the daughter of Athena! Your suppose to be the thoughtful one!" I scowled at her. She glared right back.

"Hey, guys, good news..." Rachels voice trailed off when she saw us. "What's wrong with you two?"

I backed down before Annabeth and looked at Rachel. "We're fine. Whats the good news?"

"I got us a ride to St. Thomas!"

"That's great! How?"

"We are riding on my dads cruise ship!"

"Your dad has a cruise ship?" Annabeth and I said at the same time.

"Yeah." Rachel shrugged. "Anyways, its already in Florida from my dads last trip to the Bahamas...We just need a ride to Florida!"

"I think I got that covered." I answered.

There was a water fountain in the corner of the airport and the sun was hitting it at just the right angle. Luckily the airport was basically empty so nobody would see me doing this.

"Perfect. Annabeth, do you have a drachma?"

"Always." She tossed one at me as I started running to the fountain.

I turned the water on, threw the coin into the running water, and waited for Chirons face to come up.

He was in his centaur form, standing at the top of the hill next to Thalis pine tree, over looking the camp, not paying attention to me.

"Chiron!" I shouted into the mist.

"Percy, my boy!" Chiron finally saw me.

"I need you to send Mrs. O'Leary to me, please! Just tell her that I need her assistance and she'll find me."

"Okay, Percy. Is everything alright?" Chiron looked concerned.

"Everythings great! I gotta go though. Bye and thanks again."

Before Chiron could reply, I let go of the handle that kept the water on, cutting off our connection.

I strolled back over to my friends, a big smile on my face.

"Percy...What did you do?" Annabeth asked suspiously.

I just held up a finger.

About 30 seconds later, the ground sharted to shake and I was face to face, with a giant hellhound.


Please Review? :)
