Lauren's P.O.V.
I woke up in the woods. Of course. I always wake up in the woods. I remembered those to blokes Livi and Jone calling me a freak. I think I screamed or something and the windows shattered.

That must be how I got here. Every time I get too mad, weird things happen, and I wake up in the woods.

I lived in an orphanage in England. I've lived there since I was three. I don't want to start a pity party, but I was the outcaste. The freak.

I got up and looked around. An evergreen forest. The breeze was cool and for the first time in a long time, I felt relaxed. Why should I go back to the orphanage? I'll just get punished if I do, and if I don't, they'll be perfectly happy.

I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice the fury goat man and his to (thankfully) human friends coming towards me.

"She's a demigod, I'm telling you, I can feel it." goat guy said.

"And you also thought that squirrel was Pan and disguise!" a boy with black hair and sea green eyes said.

A scary girl with blonde hair and gray eyes spoke. "Shut up both of you; she can hear us." she turned to me. "Hi. I'm Annabeth. This is Percy with the black hair, and goat guy over there, that's Grover. You're a demigod."

Percy's P.O.V.
Chiron had given us a vacation after defeating Kronos, and we chose to go to England. Annabeth had wanted to go to Greece, but that was too dangerous for a demigod.

We were walking past the woods, when Grover said, "Guys, I smell something. A demigod. A powerful one."

I stopped. "Like 'powerful' as in Big Three? Wait- are there even supposed to be demigods in England since, you know, the gods are in America?"

He just shook his head."Come on."

We followed him into the evergreen forest, where we found a girl with long (like long, long) tangled black hair and almond green eyes. Annabeth, introduced us and that's how we got here.

"You're a demigod." Annabeth said.

The girl stared at us and said in a British accent,"Er ...hullo. A what?"

"We'll explain later. I promise. Lets go."

She looked at me like I'm crazy, and I can't blame her. "Are bloody mad? I just escaped the bloody orphanage, and you want me to bloody come with a bunch a bloody strangers?! Well, no thank you . You don't know about me and the things I can do. I might hurt you. Which wood actually be rather posh." she added under her breath.

"We're like you," Annabeth promised. "We can help you. What's your name?"

The girl considered us for a moment, before mumbling, "Lauren."

"Well, let's go to Camp Half Blood." I spoke to soon. A gryphon dove out of trees, hurtling straight towards Lauren. She screamed and the monster dropped to the ground, twitching like crazy. I uncapped Riptide, and it grew into my three foot celestial bronze sword. With one slice, the gryphon exploded in dust.

I looked up awkwardly at Lauren. "Soooo, let's go?"
