Makai's pov.

I woke up at 5:00 am. Like, who wakes up this early! It's insane! Why must I suffer, why? Ok I'm good now. Anyway, I woke up to total darkness and my digital clock was the only thing bright in my room. I lay there for a moment, had I fallen asleep? I must have. Wow I'm such a good detective! I got up out of my extremely warm bed and got dressed for a regular day, jeans ,blue of course, and a light blue tank top with a dark blue sweater. Guess what my favorite colour is? Sorry, I get more sarcastic in the mornings. Anyway I walked downstairs, skipping all the creaky spots and made my way through the dark kitchen to the pitch black living room. Nico was sitting on the big leather chair and looking at nothing in particular. I sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall under the window. I don't know why I can see in the dark, I was born with the ability, who knows why? Nico looked in my direction,

"You're up this early wow!" I rolled my eyes and responded with "Likewise".He ignored me and addressed the problem at hand "Do we take Andy to Camp today? I'm thinking we should. But what about school? It's the last day." I thought about that, my adoptive parents would kill me if I skipped the last day, than my genius side came out. Yes, I do have a genius side, believe me or not. "The Eco Trip to Long Island! We can ditch the bus and hike to camp with Andy!" I suggested. He nodded,"Yeah, that could work, Where will I go, randomly come to the last day of school or something?" I laughed "Yeah, why not!" he shrugged so I got up and walked to the kitchen, Nico trailing behind me. I started making scrambled eggs with ham and a side of coffee. I put the food in the oven to keep warm and waited till 6:00 to run downstairs and wake Andy and Grover. A hour later we were ready to go. Our cover story was that Nico was a friend of ours and was going to come to school for a trial day to see if he liked it. And we just hoped they let him stay with us, we had the mist if we had to convince anyone.

We arrived at school just before the bell and raced inside to get our books while Nico went to the office to get a visitor pass. We meet up right before walking into class, everyone gave Nico curious glances. Most of the girls checking him out, but stopped when I glared at them, glaring's my specialty! Then my day just had to get worse, my favorite teacher seemed to be missing judging by my least favorite sub walking in, Mrs. Boboski. She walked in, acting all perfect. I scowled when she ignored me, Nico looked at my expression, "How many detentions has she given you?" I shoved him into his seat. He sat down laughing. I sat down too, determined to not say anything. Mrs. Amazing sat down at her desk and called for everyone to sit down and open their books.

We started with math, not that I knew any of it anyway I hated it too much to try that hard. We didn't have any topics, it was the last day of school! But she must have been intent of killing us slowly because we started with the "easy" stuff. Dividing, multiplying, simplifying, and subtracting fractions. It seemed to last hours, and she seemed to be deliberately avoiding me. When the bell rang I was the first one out of the class and speed walking to the next class. Nico had to jog to get caught up. Only this class to get through, can you see why I was glad to go to camp again? The next class was Physics. MORE math! Yay! Uh...No. Once the teacher finished trying to bore us to death with 'revising' he let us out early. I nearly sprinted out of that classroom.

I stopped at my locker I shared with Andy, We quickly gathered our stuff and headed towards the bus and quickly getting seats at the very back. Andy sat alone in her seat; no one wanted to sit with her. While I sat next to the window and rested my head on Nico, who sat next to me, muttering about not getting a decent breakfast and being hungry. I rolled my eyes at him, he ate half of everything! I looked out the window while we started driving. I was so happy to be going to camp! Finally! Even taking my best friend to my favorite place in the world couldn't keep me mad at school! Amazing right? Nico and me fell silent, a relaxing silence though, it was peaceful compared to Andy's always questioning attitude. If only I knew it wouldn't last long.

Andy's pov.

On your left, trees, on your right, trees, behind you, trees, and in front of you, the rare trees! I took out my Swiss army knife and started cleaning the gunk out of my nails, staring at the , inspiring scenery, tress, green, grass, dirt, roots, bushes, the curly hair of Sophia Montage sparkling in the wind with her one direction perfume creating a bubble of impenetrable smell around her. Her pink sparkling nails glittering on the edge of her seat as she giggled about some new lipstick colour.

I'm slightly ADHD.

I shouldn't bore you the trip........but...... I will. I spent the whole bus ride by myself, the whole 30 minutes, I wondered why no one wanted to sit by me, surely it couldn't have anything to do with the army knife I was holding in my hand. My fingers flexed and I leaned back in my seat, Green day blasted through my ear buds and I couldn't help but stare at Nico and Makai, I felt a weird feeling, if Makai's story was real, and they were dating, that was just creepy! I mean their cousins! Okay, never mind that, I'm not going to think about that. Sleep. Sleep, ok think, sleep, think about school, ahh! learning!

I peeled open my eyes and peered over my seat. We were just heading down a road near munatak beach. The scenery was still green. Grover would love this. I closed my eyes and leaned back against my seat just as 21 guns started playing.

One, twenty one guns,
Lay down your heart-

My song was I interrupted by Makai yelling "look out!" and out bus hitting something. The bus flipped and rolled on its self. I found my self on the ceiling, and somehow I had landed on my feet, (we were upside down.) Makai and Nico were already climbing out of a window, Nico shouting something about getting this chorion dude. After I made my way out through a window, I felt Makai wrap her fingers around my wrist. "Andy" she said as she started to drag me away, "We're going to that place I told you about, and were going now."

"Why?" I asked, observing the scene. The bus was on its back, smoke poring from any open areas, in the midst if the wreckage, stood a man with budging muscles and a baseball cap. "It's just a stray male muscle model, and I doubt he caused the wreckage."

"Andy, that's not a male model, it's the mist, and we are going now."

I started to shake my head, but Makai's hand tightened around my arm.

"No we'r- okay, we are." I followed as Makai dragged me through the road, until we stopped at a hill about 40 meters away from the crash. There was knee high grass and in the middle
Stood a huge Christmas Like pine tree. It looked like a strawberry farm.

"It's the camp," Makai said in a softer tone.

I started up the hill and stopped next to the pine tree, and it looked like a fleece was on it, a golden one, and some thick thing curled around it. "No way," I scoffed. Then My vision got a little blurry. As I concentrated, I could start to make out Cabins along the water and arenas, a huge colliseum Like building stood in the middle. "Whoa."

Makai nodded, "told you it was the mist."

"You mean it was real?"

"Mmhum."

Walking closer to this "camp" I started to make out more detailed items. I gasped, what was this? what type of camp does this, sword fights. Was this some type of comic-con? I looked over hesitantly at my friend Makai. She nodded and I stepped past the gate.

Only, it never happened.

I felt as if I had jumped of a moving train on to a platform 12 feet away- and missed it completely. My breath was knocked out of me as I flew, backwards, hitting my back on the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Makai being pushed back too, on her way down, she smashed into one of the bigger tree branches and it sent a whole chunk of the tree crashing down on her, pinning her leg to the ground.

Now I could clearly see that that underwear model- was one scary, hairy, muscled model.

I got my first clear look at the monster. He was seven feet tall, easy, his arms and legs like something from the cover of Muscle Man magazine-bulging biceps and triceps and a bunch of other 'ceps, all stuffed like baseballs under vein-webbed skin. He wore no clothes except under-wear-I mean, bright white Fruit of the Looms-which would've looked funny, except that the top half of his body was so scary. Coarse brown hair started at about his belly button and got thicker as it reached his shoulders. His neck was a mass of muscle and fur leading up to his enormous head, which had a snout as long as my arm, snotty nostrils with a gleaming brass ring, cruel black eyes, and horns-enormous black-and white horns with points I would pay to have on a sword.

I slowly started to get up, and faced this model, determined to take out my hatred on fashion permanently! Just kidding, but the bull man started to trot over to Makai, who was trashing on the ground, crushed by the weight of the log. Once the...... minotaur? Got close, Makai picked up a rock lying next to her head and chucked it at the bull man, hitting him square in the jaw. It just grunted and turned away from her, towards me, still trying to stand up. The Minotaur, that's too long, Jimmy, I'll call him Jimmy. Jimmy charged right at me. I managed to stand, and stumbled out of the way just in time to avoid being skewered, but its right horn dug into the side of my arm, creating a six inch long gash down my arm. Jimmy righted himself and faced me again. This time I wasn't cut, but one of his arms knocked me backwards, slamming me on the ground. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see back spots, but trough that, teens had started to gather at the tree.

"Quick, someone get armor and a weapon!"

"Are you kidding me? That's suicide!"

"Minotaur?"

"Someone get Percy! Tell him his sister's in trouble!"

"Where is Clarisse?"

"Her makeup is horrible!"

"Shut up drew, she just got hit by the Minotaur, she's not going to be looking like a super model."

I tried to get up, but blood rushed to my head and I flopped back down. When I moved my hand to my head, I felt blood, its metallic smell already filling my nose, that's one problem Voldemort didn't have. I clutched my bloodied arm to my cheats, ignoring the various rocks digging into my scalp. Only then did I realise that that hanging on Jimmy's right horn, was my right Jacket sleeve. I boiled with rage, that was my father's jacket! It was the only thing left of my dad, sure it had old cracked leather, the camo sleeves and hood were faded, and it smelled like death, but it was still mine. I involuntary stood up, my body pumping with adrenalin. My vision turned red and blood rushed in my ears. Jimmy was going to pay. Before I could even think about what I was doing, I felt a tug in my gut, and the ground split open. All the campers that were coming to help stumbled back, and so did I.

Skeleton hands erupted from the ground and pulled their bodies up. Fifteen of them clawed their way to the surface and started to walk toward Jimmy, the head skeleton simply grabbed the charging bull by the horns and snapped them off Jimmy's head. Serval of the other former humans took out bones and drove them through Jim's torso. Jimmy dissolved.

I felt my body falling backwards, and by the time I hit the ground, I was already losing consciousness, half from blood loss, half from exhaustion. But before I completely blacked out, I saw Nico running through the crowd, yelling, "That was me nobody panic!"

By that didn't make any sense, because I knew every single one of those skeletons.
