Chapter Seventeen
Astrid swore in her head.
"We gotta cut our time short. This is more important." Natasha said.
"So off to Camp Half-Blood." Astrid said nodding slowly. She felt a little guilty since she was the one to survive.
"We'll go undercover." Andrea said. Astrid frowned. "We leave tonight."

Astrid smiled as the drift curled off her revealing her true form. She unfurled her wings and grimaced as they cramped from not being used. She swung the bag over her shoulder and looked out the window to the stars. She thought about Zoë Nightshade and Bob. She had saw the memories. She wiggled her fingers in the glove then slunk out of her room. She hurried down the stairs. Natasha and Andrea were waiting. Then a flashlight hit them. Astrid turned, her eyes flashing like an animals in the headlights. Natasha grabbed their arms and they disappeared.

They welcomed a hocus bull through the barrier.
It was going to be their cover.
They ran down the slope as fast as almost-humanly possible. All while yelling for help. The earbud in her ear blared Rat A Tat by Fall Out Boy. Her hair was black and long. She wore black jeans and a Green Day American Idiot t-shirt. Her black combat boots hit the ground silently.
She went Punk to pose as a daughter of Athrodite. Which she wasn't looking forward to.
Campers looked out and around. Then saw the giant machine. A guy with a Nirvanna t-shirt and jeans with Chucks on came around the corner holding a broadsword. He ran at them and stopped, he pulled them behind them. He had a strong smell of death to him.
Maybe a powerful son of Hades.
He threw his sword for the open mouth. And the song changed to I Don't Care by fall out boy. The bull threw the sword and charged. Astrid pushed Natasha and Andrea behind a building. Then grabbed the guy's wrist and pulled him out of the way. She ran at the side of the building. She felt her side heat up as a she used the drift and jumped of the side of the building onto the Bulls back. She jerked up and down.
And she held on for dear life.
"It's not working!" Natasha yelled.
"In the great words of Justin Trudleau." Astrid smiled remembering the debate on YouTube "NOBODY BELIEVES YOU!" She bellowed laughing.
Fun times. We cover politics in class and all we remember is that line.
The Heroes of Olympus showed up and charged. Astrid realizing her distraction time is done and to let professionals take over was here. She let go and was bucked off. She slammed into the guy and knocked them both to the ground. Quickly they both tried to get up, only causing their entanglement to get worst. Eddie ran up and swung his arm. Ivy burst forward wrapping itself around the Bulls leg.
"Oh, love on the battlefield!" He cackled with joy. Astrid wanted to throw all the identical clothes he wore everyday into the lake. Black t-shirt and jogging pants with three green stripes.
They got up.
Sage jumped off the roof of the building. "This is better than pulling the fire alarm!"
Yup. Here is the group Astrid had named the Nerd Herd.
The bull collapsed and the red glow disappeared from the eyes. The red tint to the metal stayed reminding her about the four undead. Sage stood up and spread her arms. "Red Bull gives you wings!"
"I don't see wings." Eddie said. Astrid smiled.
"I'm Hunter." The Nirvanna shirt guy introduced.
"Eva." Astrid said.
They made it.
