"Mae, don't tell me the wolf just said what I think it said?" I ask tenderly, eventhough I know that Ruby spoke the truth. "Because if she did, I'm dragging you guys out of here. I don't care if I have to scare you into comming, but you guys aren't supposed to be there..."
"What are you talking about?" I say, standing and leaning against the bars.
"maj...what are you trying to say...tell me there isn't another problem."

"i don't know"

I grab everyone and focus on Kat's room. When we arrive I see Junior sitting there, while Kat is laying on the bed. There are tears in his eyes.
"Hey squirt." I say. Junior looks up, and without saying anything he hugs me really tight. "I'm sorry, squirt. I promised I'd get her back. I'm sorry." I mutter.
"hey junior, how are you, remember me, i met you once before when i came, how you doing kiddo" his eyes well with tears as his eyes pass over kat.
i walk over to him and crouch down. "i misse her" he says. "hey i know you do" i say and lift him up into my arms. he sobbs and grabs onto maj's hand his head on my shoulder.
"i hear my name call from behind em

((hey jhon...wats up...improv...look back a couple of pahes on the DROP SOMeTHING BELOW!!! page. youll get it))
i put junior odwn and looked around for him. he wasnt there. "maj, where'd you send daniel. where is he"

"The tall dude? Deb's talking to him in the kitchen. I think the girl is with Megan." Junior says. I should've known, Megan has a weakness for new girls, even the temporary ones.
"C'mon, squirt. Let's go downs stairs. There's nothing you can do for Kat right now, OK?"
When Junior nods I grab his hand, and walk downstairs.
i turn and then i see the wolf again and i begin to sweat. oh god that stupid wold followed us here...where ruby

"I'm sorry Zaynah. Ruby, she... she... she's gone. Suddenly, she disappeared and we didn't know where she was. Then this wolf came along, and told us everything. Ruby was taken. This wolf told us how he fought bravely to save her, but..... Well, Thumpus Everstein couldn't help her when she was brought by the Cukoos to Cloud Cukoo land..."
Mae was trying hard to keep the grin off her face. It took her a moment, but finally Zaynah realized. She quickly stopped gaping and wiping her eyes and straightened up. Looking slightly annoyed, she said, "Mae, you little....."
"You didn't actually fall for that, did you?" Mae giggled.
"Uh........ NO." Said Zaynah defiantly.
(Sorry for barging in! Just couldn't help but open PJO discussion that says "Don't Open". I didn't realize it was you guys!!!!)

Okay I just spent half an hour catching up. I really like the story so I'll read it as you go, but question, what are you guys doing now? I know that you found Daniel and Kat, but what's happening? I didn't quite understand??
(Gods have evil copies. Maj wanted to check in on Debby I think.)
"Yeah. Suuuure Zaynah." I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes and giggling. Zaynah glared, but couldn't suppress a smile. "Lets go see if Gwen and the rest are ok." I say, feeling a squeeze of worry.

"Deb, I'm sorry." I say between two mouthfuls. Junior was sitting on my lap, picking at my plate. I see Gwen on Mae's lap, and Zaynah and Daniel are making gooey eyes at each other. The wolf is sitting on the floor near the door. Dear, sweet Ruby, always watching out...


"I think it should be in here.... Got it." I mutter. I grab a packet of beef out of the fridge.
"There you go...." I say as I open it for Ruby
"Hows Mom and Dad? Where's Bria?" I ask Gwen, a huge piece of toast in my hand.
"Down stairs, I think. They really want to talk to you." she gave me the "parents-freaking-out-about-you" look to me, and I knew I had a lot of explaining to do.

while everyoens occupied i go upstairs and into the attic. i stand and look out at the beach view. i hear footsetpes behind me. dnaiel. i turn and he smiles and we hug. tight and hard. i look up at him. "you know its at times like this when i miss my parents. i mean i have no parents yet i still miss them despite me never knowing them. i never had a mom to kiss me goodnight or father to bandage scrapes when i fell. i had to grow up by meyslef. and then you came along and i nearly just lost you again. daniel...i need to tell you something" i hear footstpes coming up the steps and i quickly brake away.
"Zaynah? You up here?" I call as I walk up the stairs. I'd just finished explaining what happened with me while they were captured. After a lot of hugging, crying, and shouting in disbelief, they finally understood. I peek my head over the banister to see Daniel and Zaynah having a moment. "Oh! Sorry. I didn't mean to bother-" a monstrous crashing sound came from down stairs in the kitchen. I raced down stairs followed by Zaynah. Hecate's evil children had come to pay a visit.
"oh shoot." I grab my bow and arrow and brace myslef. i aim but daniel stops me. "are you gona kill them" "you have a better idea." "well why not capture them or one of thwm and iterrigate...fin out why theyre here"

"oh god. are you okay" i say crouching on one knee. i pet the wolf and wrap its paw in a bandage. i shoot the little person who hit the wolf and grab one who was tying to knaw at my knee. daniel helps me tie her up with rope and duck tape on chair. i place my dagger to her throat and it flynches. "why are you here and what do you want"
"you creepy brat. I swear to god, gods that ill rip you limb from limb if you don't tell me the truth." I dig the blade int ok her throat. Mae, ruby in her wolf form and maj stand side by side watching me. Daniel stand in the corner biting his nails. A beed of blood rubs down the the side of the girls neck. It s slightly terrifying how this... Thing looks so much like a human girl. "I will die but wont tell you the truth. I can't betray my mistress. Even if I want to I can't shell kill me" " I couldn't care less what you have to say. Just tell me why your here." "I was sent here to slaughter the 4 daughters of the gods from the prophecy. You want to destroy decoys of the gods and we cant let you do that" " what are you gonna stop us" I say "well if you let me escape from these ropes then i ill. I'll stab the quarts of every one of you and bring your hearts to my mistress" "you stupid pixie" I say. "oh yh and ill kil that pretty boy friend of your too" I shout and before I can stop my sleg I stab the girl in the chest and her blood ichor splatters on my head. Immediately the poison burns my head and blood leaks down my face. I scream in fury and pain and kick the chair. My knees buckle under me and I drop tor ge floor and clutch at my head

I growl and yip in concern and without a moment to lose, I begin lapping up the blood that was dripping down her face. Within seconds, most of her face was licked clean, and the blood didn't seem to have any effect on my wolf insides.
I whimper and lick faster when Zaynah begins to groan.
I hunch back and my eyes close. My eyelids heavyweight and I fade between consciousness. I stoke the fur on rubys back. Wolves aren't that bad I think. Ny head is aching and i think the scar on my stomach reacts with the poison. I fell someone carry me upstairs and put me in a bed. I try to get up. I need to get mo re information. Out of that stupid minion. But my head swims and j fall back onto the pillow. I hear reassuring. Voices a d a soft pur and then everything goes silent

Zaynah slowly opened her eyes and groaned. She sat up, rubbing her head. When she looked around she saw the wolf, Mae, Maj, Daniel, and all the others staring, concerned down at her.
I gave a yip of relief and nuzzled Zaynah's hand excitedly. Mae and Maj were grinning and Daniel was looking terribly worried.
I pat the wolf and itch the back of its ears. I smile at Mae and maj then see Daniel who looks at me then walks out the room giving me a cold stare. Ok. I get up and fall back. I rest for a few more seconds ds then jump out the bed and freshen up in the bathroom. Then I walk out and get changed into a pair of black skinny jeans and a red flare top. I let my black hair run down my back and tie the laces to my boots. Then run down the stairs . I'm slightly unsteady on ny feet and my heels w unevenly on the stairs. Then I trip and Daniel catches me. I look up at him and smile but he frowns. "look zayn, I don't want you to go with them. Your life will be in danger again." I stand up. "Dan I'm sorry I have to" "no you don't always have to be the hero. You can stay with me. Well go back to school and finish our exams" " Daniel please. The prophecy. 4 daughters. That's me Mae maj and rubes. I have to do this" "well cant I come with you" I stand up on nt titles and give him kiss on the cheek. He stiffens the loosens and returns the kiss on my hand. "no Daniel I cant let anything happen to you."
Then I walk down the steps and enter the room where everyone I gathered talking stratergy.

"Hecate has created magical copies of all the gods, like Gaea did with her children. Our first priorities are to kick those Hecate's kids butts somehow." I glance nervously at Ruby when I said Hecate's kids. "But it seems they are immune to our strikes, and keep on popping back up. So, we need to figure out the weakness, the advantage, and the attack. Capeesh?"
"Capeesh." everyone one replies.
"But, no attempts have seemed to work yet, so thats a definate problem." I took a shaky breath. "Maybe, just maybe, we need to find out our own strengths and weaknesses to find theirs. Zaynah, we have to figure out your parenting, Maj and Ruby, I have a definite feeling you guys don't know your full powers."

"So you think." I say mysteriously.

Ten minutes later every kid that lives under Debby's roof sits somewhere in the living room. Olivia is sitting on Junior's lap, while Quinn laid claim to Zaynah's lap.
I slowely rise.
"Hey guys." I start, smiling awkwardly. "Remember when I went to boarding school? Well, it weren't a boarding school. It were a camp. A camp that y'all are going to go to. Because y'all belong there."

"You didn't think the name Debby E. Meter was taken at random? D. E. Meter."
(What what? Totally lost. Yeah, Maj explaining Camp Half-Blood, but whats the D. E. Meter? Triple Half Blood? Sooooo lost.)
(Ok. Makes a lot more sense now. Thanks. :-) )
