Chapter Nine: Annabeth Chase

As we lead the trio into camp, everyone has gathered and is staring intently at them. Nothing seems to phase the shadow, but the twins eyes are flitting everywhere taking in everything, including the stares from the other campers. The red-haired girl's eyes only widen slightly and then return to normal when she lies eyes on Chiron trotting up to meet us.


"I see there wasn't any fighting to be done." He looks up to meet Clarisse's eyes. "Clarisse, I would like for you to gather the other senior counselors for a meeting at the Big House in an hour."


Clarisse nods her head reluctantly and turns to get everyone as Chiron turns to look at the visitors, Percy and I.


"Come, we will all explain ourselves shortly." The twins eyes are wide, but don't seem to be as awestruck as most people when they see a centaur. We head over to the Big House and as we enter, Dionysus is there to greet us and recognition flashes in his gaze when he sees the red- haired warrior girl.


"Now I get to meet you, Shadow. Although I thought you'd be taller."
