Chapter 17

"Zoe you leave at dawn. You must head south." Chiron said.

"The grandchild of the big three/ shall be able to get the key/ It shall find two that are supposed to be dead/ And will have thought that will course dread/ Two gems are in the sea/ one is near a poisonous tree/ three are in a place were time stops/ and last is where Heracules has his rock/ in two years time it will come back/ to see what has happen while it was off track/ And be crowned be true name/ the prince/princess shall come back different but the same." I mumbled.

"Is it-"

"I don't know Annabeth. But here Zoe. Take this. It shows where the gems are. You must leave at dawn. Go and pack." Chiron did a New York taxi cab whistle. I saw Frank run over. "Frank please take Zoe to your cabin."

We slowly made to the cabin. Once we got there Clarisse came over. "You feeling okay?"

"Yea. A little tired though." I said as I packed my magic backpack.

"Where are you going?"

"On a quest."

"You just arrived six days ago. But Percy did go on a quest on his first day so... I guess you will be fine. So who are you taking with you?"

"No one." Now the whole cabin was quiet.

"You need to take some one."

"No I don't. This is a personal quest. Now can some one wake me up for dinner?" I layed down and fell asleep. Worst. Idea. Ever.

Dream~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was deer girl, hell-hound boy, and fire lady. The deer girl had a silver bow, one French braid down her back, a snow coat, and combat boots with sweats. Fire girl was wearing a mechanic's uniform with a gun in one hand and twin daggers in the other. Hound boy had Greek armor and... was that cyclone, blue waves and storm? Then the dream change.

I was at the hospital. I saw the nurse come in with a hurt look on her face. "I'm sorry. They didn't make it." I fell to my knees.

I didn't let my mom see me cry. I ran out of the room and ran to the forest. When I got there I sat down and cried. A few Hell- Hounds came to me and layed down. I went back a few hours later.

I woke with a start. I heard foot steps outside. I went to the door and opened it. "Piper? Annabeth? What are you doing here? It's like four in the morning."

"We know but we wanted to give these to you now. Here." Annabeth, Piper, Perce, Leo, Nico and Hazel gave me small gifts. I opened Annabeth's and got a dagger. Then I opened Piper's and got a picture of Haley, Alaska, and I.

"Whe-Where did you get this? I lost it a few years ago."

"Umm.... we know the wind gods and one gave it to me."

"Okay. Thanks." Then I opened Perce's and got five sea green pearls.

"If you smash them your feet and think of a place it will bring you to the closest water source." Then I opened Leo's and got a watch and ring. The watch had a red band and a black iron watch. The ring had an owl on it and a sea green band.

"Thanks. Does the ring and watch do anything?"

"The ring turns into a sword and the watch turns into a shield and a black iron dagger."

"That is so cool." Then I opened Nico's. It was a skull ring. Then a little screen popped up.

"Just say a name and it shows them and it doesn't any dramas." I hugged them both. Last was Hazel's gift. It was whistle.

"It's for calling Hell-Hound." she said with a wink. I hugged her. By the time they left it was dawn. So I got changed and walked up to Half-Blood hill.

"Zoe, here's some mortal money if you need a ride." Chiron said handing me the money.

"Bye mama."

"Bye." I gave her a hug. Once I got to New York I prayed to my dad, grandpa, and my great great great grandpa asking for a ride. A sea green, red, and black lights glowed in front of me.

"Hello Zoe."

"Dad? Neptune? Hades?" They all shook their heads yes. "I need a ride south."

"I could give you a ride on my motorcycle."

"There are some hippocampi waiting for you in the ocean."

"You could summon Hell-Hounds."

"I think that I ride on your motorcycle."

"Yes. Hop on."

"Bye grandpa. Bye great great great grandpa." I hugged them then I got on the motorcycle. It took about 3 hours because dad was speeding and the cops didn't even see him.

"Here you go. Good bye Zoe." I gave him a fist bump and then he left.
