Grover's POV

The whole camp was in an uproar. Everyone was trying to get the paint or mud out of their hair. I thought of Percy as one kid completely covered in blue ran by.

"Hey Grover, what's going on?" The new kid, Peter I think, asked coming up behind me. "Why is everyone covered in something?"

"Some pranksters pulled a joke on the whole camp last night. Why aren't you covered with paint or something?" I asked getting suspicious.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk and laid down. I just woke up a few minutes ago," He explained. I thought I could detect some nervousness.

"Okay," I said with narrowed eyes, "You're sure you weren't at some evil board of bad guys meeting or something?"

I mainly meant it as a joke, but then he wouldn't meet my eyes.

"I don't know what you mean," He answered, not quite looking at me.

"Peter, is there something you're not telling me?" I asked, my hand moving towards the knife hidden in my belt.

I could see Peter's emotions playing out across his face. A few seconds later he seemed to have made up his mind, "Where is Juniper?"

The question took me by surprise," She's gone, she took the kids with her a few days ago, why?"

Quickly he glanced around, no one was watching us. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the woods with one hand and put the other hand around my mouth so I couldn't scream. Before I could realize what was happening, he muttered something, and a portal suddenly appeared before us. Without even looking back, Peter jumped through it dragging me with him.
