one sitting on Christopher's feet. "I'm Donatello." said the one sitting on the ground in front of me. "I'm Zephyr. Friends call me Zee." I introduced myself. The guys stared at me like I was an old missing friend finally found. I stretched. "You guys like football or soccer or some sport we can play?" I asked yawning. Austin mumbled something underneath his breath. There was something familiar about him. I joist couldn't put my hand on it. "Let's go for football." said Louis standing up and stretching. "Lets play soccer or football. Whatever you call it." I shrugged. We all walked out the balcony and onto a huge football field. I sat onto the ground. "Alright, let's start."
Monotaurs are so last season!

ZEPHYR's POV:
I walked around the packed dorm. It was packed with demigods. I shuffled my way through them towards the door. I wanted to leave. A girl had called my dorm inviting me and Aleixo over for a party. I wasn't much of a party person because I didn't dance or sing. After five minutes of traumic elbows in my arms and bodies pressing against me, I finally reached the door. I walked over and opened it. I stepped out into fresh air and closed the door behind me. The hall was empty and silent like a deserted Texas town. I walked into the Corridor F. I stopped and turned back around and walked the other way. Maybe, I should get some fresh air. I walked down the heap of stairs and onto the first floor. I could see the main enterence. I walked towards it and opened the door, stepping out into the sweet smell of Crete. I walked down the pathway until I found the hill where I had saw when I was playing football with the others. I Badly wanted to sit on the hill. If I could reach the top of it, I would be able to see maybe all of Crete! Now that would be amazing. The only problem was that there was a forest guarding the beautiful, green hill. I wondered what was beyond it, I mean the hill. The only thing I could think of was green plains and all. The forest looked a bit creepy. Two voices were going through my head. One was saying, Common sense, don't go. Remember all the freaky movies you watched? And how the stupid teens would go into the forest at night and something would attack them? And how you would wonder why they were so foolish? Well, you're doing that foolishness right now!

said one of the voices. The other voice said Come on, Zee. The generation has changed! The creepy forest movies were so last season. Now it's all about date devils and rebels. Besides, it's probably only a chunk of three or four trees and it's over.

I heard myself groan. I had no weapons i had a good stamina and a good chance of running away from whoever attacked. The voices in my head argued. I walked into the forest without a second thought.
!H!
AUSTIN's POV:
"Where is she?" I asked Aleixo. Aleixo shrugged. "What if that witch, whatshername?..." I snapped my fingers trying to remember the woman with white flames as her hair and white cat like eyes name. Aleixo scratched his head and shook his finger saying "ah...admen....caster...Casper...no..Minnie...medusa.....Bif Cannon's mom, right?" he asked unsure. I nodded. Bif Cannon was a jerk who lived in the forest with his mom. He was a witch's son which turns out he was. "I got it! Melanie Jasper Cannon. Thats her cover name, now whats her real name?" I rolled my eyes at him. Sometimes, Aleixo was no help." Maybe we could iris it." I suggested. Aleixo and I walked into the kitchen and pulled out a windex spray bottle and sprayed water over the window. I dug in my pocket for a drachma. "Aleixo, she's your sister." I said pulling my hand out holding a quarter, a nickel and a dime. He took my forty cents and placed his drachma in his palm. "O Iris. Please accept my offering." the drachma dissapeared into mist. "Show us Zephyr, Poseidon's daughter." ordered Aleixo. A scene came up of Zephyr walking through woods and she stopped because she heard a hiss, then kept on walking ignoring it completely. "Zoom out." commanded Aleixo. The scene zoomed out until it showed our academy, the forest, then the hill and then the lake. I smacked my forehead. "Great. She's going for the hill." I said annoyingly. What was so special about the stupid, damn hill. I had flew over the forest to the hill once but there was nothing to see. Except all of Crete.

ZEPHYR's POV:
I hiked over rocks, branches, broken twigs, dirt,bones, leafs and more. It was like an abandoned thrift store. I moved along going straight and taking no turns. I kept on walking no matter what happened. I came across a campfire. It was just there. I ignored and kept walking. I had to get to the hill. It was my goal. For tonight. Without anybody's help, I had to get up there. A figure landed i front of me. I had to blink a few times to see clearly who it was. "Austin. What a surprise." I said smiling and kept walking but Austin didn't budge. He stood there. I took a step back. "Now, why are you goin' to the hill?" he asked. For the first time, I noticed he had a Irish accent. It was cute. It made him look even more wanting. "I'm going to the hill to see all of Crete." I responded. Austin rolled his eyes. "C'mon you've got to be kidding me." he said. I crossed my arms. "Your Zeus's son. You probably did laps around the island flying for an exercise!" I argued.
