Annabeth's P.O.V

After the meeting with Hecate, Calypso was told to stay behind because she was laughing and giggling the whole time Hecate was talking. When she started to snort and laugh I looked over at her and saw that she and Leo were sitting side by side and he had his hand around her waist but was tickling her side. I chuckled slightly, they are so cute together. I am so happy for Leo that he finally found himself someone who makes him happy. I tried to concentrate on Hecate speaking but it was difficult with Calypso laughing and snorting. He whispered jokes in her ear and she playfully shoved his face away with her hand and giggled again.

Hecate was talking about how there was a demigod named Tom Riddle, one of her sons, (Calypso giggled) and how he was strong and was made fun of here at camp, (Calypso snorted) and how one of her older sons, named Dumbledore who was in charge of the school Hogwarts, where the mortals she blessed go to school, and how he said that if Tom came with him, he would never be made fun of ever again because of his ability to use magic so well. Tom's brothers and sisters tried to tell him that they all get made fun of sometimes but you just have to work through it and that they would be there for him, if he stayed, (Calypso laughed hysterically) Riddle refused his brothers and sisters offer and went with Dumbledore.

He was put into Slytherin were cunning and mean wizards and witches go. And Dumbledore was right, Tom was never bullied. He was the Bully this time. He picked on other wizards and witches and finally, he became so powerful, he released.. Hecate paused. Leo whispered into Calypso's ear and she snorted. I'm going to say he said, "The Cracken" But that is not what Hecate said. Hecate said that he released the Basilisk. A very large and deadly snake. Its reflection can petrify and its direct eye contact can kill. Calypso laughed so hard she nearly fell out of her seat. Chiron said, "Calypso, this is no laughing matter." She gave Leo a look and said, "Yes Chiron, I'm sorry." Anyway, Tom Riddle was working with Tartarus himself. And when a brave wizard named Harry Potter killed him, Tartarus thought that he was such a faithful servant, he brought him up from the dead, and now, he is alive and with new found strength. Tom is now referred to as Voldemort, (And of course Leo started to tickle poor Calypso again and she laughed.) So now the wizards and witches need the help of the demigods. Hecate said she would give us our wands later and we were dismissed, she said that we would leave in around a week, so be prepared to leave. I went out with Piper to go and play volleyball and Frank, Jason, and Percy came along with us. We couldn't figure out who should be on who's team since it was an odd number. We were probably like that for around ten or so minutes when Calypso came jogging up from the Hephaestus cabin. Piper grabbed her arm and we were Boys vs. Girls. We all played till the sun was going down and it was a hour or so till supper (The sun goes down really early these days) and I went back to my cabin and decided to get a shower after supper. Soon after Marcus, my half-brother, came to me and said we had major trouble.

I was in the middle of the book, he probably could have said Percy was dying and I still wouldn't have heard him.. It was such a good book. I finally heard him when he ripped the book from out of my hands, through it across the Athena Cabin and yelled in my face that the Camp was on fire and that there were Culcus bulls everywhere around camp.


Connor & Travis Stoll's P.O.V

We were so close on pranking Drew when we heard sirens blaring Travis slumped his head down and we ran for it. If Drew caught us trying to prank her and the rest of the Aphrodite Cabin again, we would get a high-heel in the forehead.. We were promised. So we bolted for it. We just put green dye in their shampoo so when they wash their hair, it becomes green. They HATE the color green. So I smirked at my brother Travis as we ran and heard screams from inside the Aphrodite Cabin and we looked straight ahead and saw the Dining Pavilion on fire and Culcus bulls running everywhere like mad men. Travis looked petrified and then look devastated. "The FOOD!" He shrieked. I put my hand on his shoulder and slapped him. "Its all gone! Every little piece of Fonzies, (they loved them as much as Leo) and Corn Flakes and POP-TARTS!" Travis shrieked again. I turned to face my brother and slapped him across the face again."Man up! There are more important things then food in life!" I yelled. He looked at me and smirked. We both said in chorus, "Pranking Aphrodite kids." And bolted for the water hoses.

Percy was already there in his pj's still, squirting water from his hands and nodded at us like it was nothing. He was doing a pretty good job at it, but Travis and I had a Super-Sized Water Gun Hose- created by Leo Valdez. We haven't used it in forever but we figured now would be the time. Both Travis and I had to hold the water hose and point it in the right direction because it was so much pressure. We got the fire out in no time with help of Percy and he said his thanks and went over to Frank who was a child of Mars. A big scary dude when he was in battle, he was blessed by Mars himself, and was glowing red, fighting a bull. Travis high-fived me and we ran off to get some armor on but all of it was being used. I glanced at Travis and he shrugged at me and we awkwardly stepped out of view by stepping backwards slowly and hid behind our cabin. We weren't much of the fighting type anyway.


Reyna's P.O.V

I saw that the fire was out thanks to Percy and the Stoll brothers, and I kept fighting the bulls with the blessing of my mother Bellona, the goddess of war. I had 2 bulls already defeated. There were about 18 bulls total and now there are probably 7 left. I went over to help Piper, who charmspeaking the bull to stop attacking. Her charmspeak is so powerful I nearly dropped my weapon and walk away, but I kept my ground. The bull was just standing there, not doing anything, because of Piper's charmspeak. I attacked it and it turned into a pile of gears and wires when I was finished.

I said thank you to Piper and I counted now that there was only 2 left. Octavian ran up to me with a smug smile on his face. Gods of Olympus I hated him, but he is still alive, so I still have to treat him like any other demigod. He came up to me and his smile disappeared. "We have lost one," Octavian simply said. "Could you explain," I said. He just started at me. "Please," I finished. "There are three bulls left, and one of them ran off into the woods and we cant find it," Octavian answered my question after please. I looked around and there were no bulls left, yet everyone still seemed a bit tense. I walked away from Octavian hitting my shoulder against his making him stumble a bit.

I walked over to a red headed girl I saw at the Big House meeting with Hecate. She had freckles splashed all over her face. "Is it true that we have lost one," I asked urgently. She looked a bit frightened at first because of my mother's blessing and the glow around me. She nodded her head and I stormed off, I don't know who I was looking for but I bumped into Percy.

   "Percy, where did the bull head?" I asked. He pointed towards the Hermes Cabin and I heard two different screams, both boys, but they sounded the same. "Stolls," Percy and I said at the same time. I called over Nico who was covered in gasoline, I'm just going to guess that a bull had a spill, and he followed me and we all took out our swords and Percy took out his pen and clicked it to appear in Riptide form. We saw both Connor and Travis against the back wall of their cabin, being cornered by the last bull. We all nodded at each other and Nico dissolved into the darkness and Percy yelled, "Hey!" and he blasted some water in his face. I told the brothers to scat and they did gladly. Nico appeared behind the bull from the shadows and stabbed it with his Black Stygian Sword. It must have already been crippled because it turned into gears and wires laying on the grass and nothing else.


Hazel's P.O.V

Once I was finished up with the last bull that we could find, Reyna went off with Percy and Nico, my half-brother to find the other one. Soon after they came back and I walked over to Nico and asked him if he was alright. He was covered from head to toe with gasoline and oil. "Instead of turning into a pile of gears, it decided to explode," He paused and pointed to the oil and gasoline, "This on me. So now I stink," Nico said alas. I chuckled slightly and told him that there was a thing called a shower and he better go get one. So he walked off into the Hades cabin. And I didn't see him anymore for the rest of the day.

            I tried to find Frank but I couldn't find him at all and I frowned and went over to Will and started to have a little chat with him.


Calypso's P.O.V

All I know is that I have to get another shower.
