~17. Hello Ripper!!!

Update time!
I decided to be nice and not give a cliffhanger this time

Rory

Solange? What was she doing here. How was she alive? A million questions raised through my head as the whole camp turned to see the portal, and the person walking out of it.

I felt Chase grab my hand, though I was too shocked to care.

I saw her literally explode.

I saw her fall off that piece of floating ice.

I saw her die.

Yet here she was, standing right in front of me. Alive.

Then, smiling that cold smile, she said those words. Words that shouldn't have come out of her mouth. "Hello, Aurora Landon."

I grabbed onto Chase to steady myself. Why are you alive?! I wanted to scream. Instead, all that came out was, "What- how-"

"Oh yes, you thought I was dead. I'll admit, it's been a little hard without my old powers, but I've managed. That's not why I came here, though. I believe he knows what I want." She nodded toward Chiron.

Chiron paled. "I... don't- I can't-"

"Chiron," Annabeth pleaded. "Tell me, please."

"Listen to the girl, Rory. I will get what I want. Sooner or later. Remember what happened with the water of life?" She looked down at Lena's hands.

I felt sick inside. Lena had lost her hands when the Snow Queen had attacked EAS for the Water of Life. I couldn't let something like that happen again.

"Leave the demigods and the camp alone. This battle is between you and the characters at EAS."

"Not anymore. I've struck a deal with Kronos. You demigod friends are very much involved. Especially this one." She pointed at Percy.

Then the lines in the book started to make sense. Two wars. A force of Greek. The way Percy and Annabeth had paled when those words were mentioned, like they knew something.

Before I could say anything, though, a howl ran through the camp. All the campers turned around to see Ripper -Solange's wolf- and his pack. And important looking scroll in his jaws.

Yeah definitely not a cliffhanger
