Percy's PoV.

"That dog thing is, well.... It's a, um, dog?" I  said uneasily. Sam looked at me skeptically.

"What this idiot here means is that it's a very rare breed of dog," Annabeth said stepping on my foot.

"Ow, I mean, yes she is a very rare dog." I glanced at Annabeth quickly. 

"Seaweed Brain," she muttered under her breath. "It's  a rare breed called demonóskylo*. Only found in Greece. It was birthday present for Percy's 15th birthday."

I saw Tucker fumbling with his PDA followed by a lot of typing.

"It's not listed on the list of all known dog breeds," Tucker stated.

"That's because many believe that it's existence is a myth," Annabeth said quickly. Sam looked at her skeptically.

"Suuure. Wouldn't it still be founds online somewhere?" Sam asked.

"We wouldn't know. We don't go online very much," Nico said from the shadows in the corner. I saw Tucker, Sam, and Danny Phantom jump at the sound of his voice.

"Wait. It says here that demonóskylo* is Greek for Hell--" Tucker started only to have an invisible hand clapped over his mouth. I realized that Annabeth had gone invisible again. I watched as Tucker paled before nodding his head. Annabeth promptly reappeared next to me. Yankees cap in hand.

"Wait. How did you turn invisible? Are you a ghost?" Phantom demanded.

"Nope. It's just a gift from my mother. I think you four should go back to class. Gods know how Percy needs all he can get. And you can go to wherever you came from, Phantom. We'll meet tonight after dinner at the fountain in the park. About 8 pm." With that we all left, Annabeth shimmered out of view followed by Danny Phantom flying away. Nico, Sam, Tucker, and I walked into Paul's class right before the bell rang. Danny came in a few minutes later.

"Percy, Nico, Mr. Fenton, Ms. Manson, and Mr. Foley, can you come and see me for a minute?" Paul asked. We all walked up to the front of the room. "Percy, Nico is everything okay out there?"

"Yep. It was just Mrs. O'Leary visiting. I told her I would see her at camp soon," I replied.

"Okay you two can go. I'll help you with the homework when we get back. Now Danny, Ms. Manson, and Mr. Foley, why were you three gone?" Paul asked the others as we left. We didn't stay to hear their response.

The rest of the day passed fairly quickly and by the time we got back to the Fenton's Annabeth was ready to drag us upstairs away from Jack and Maddie.

"Gods, I was ready to run away again," Annabeth said when we got upstairs. "I came back to listen to Danny's parents talk about ghosts. I did learn some things, but I'm not sure how accurate it was. Thankfully, Sally pulled me out of there."

"Well at least we're going to hopefully get some information tonight when we meet Phantom and the others," I said before someone knocked.

"Um. Sorry to interrupt but I was told to tell you dinner will be ready in ten minutes." I looked up to see Jazz standing the doorway.

"Thanks Jazz. We'll be down in a minute," I said before she left. "Can I ask a question? What did you tell Tucker to make him go that pale?"

"I told him not to say anything or I would judo flip him and chop up his PDA," Annabeth replied calmly. Before she got up and went downstairs for dinner.

I'm alive still. My life is hectic but I don't have dance this week so I will have some free time. 

*demonóskylo = Greek for demon dog (I'm taking a few poetic liberties) Thank you MariaAndroulaki!

Shout out to everyone who told me to update. It really provides me with motivation.

Thanks,
