KatParticipant//Andromeda//
I finnaly got a rainbow message to Areena.
"Hey, what's going on?" she said.
I smirked. "They kissed," I said simply.
Her face broke into a wide grin, "Finnaly!" she said.
"Yea, that's what I said." I looked behind her, I recognised the place… "Where are you?" I asked.
"Colorado."
My smile faded. "Can you do me a favor?" I asked, "Can you give a message to my mom?"
(Areena, could you make the address 3021 Twolane Drive, an old one-story green house please? The message is: I'm safe, I miss her, I'm an only child, and I'm sorry. Dad hasn't contacted me yet, and I'm on a quest.
Thanks!)

NAMEParticipantSky-
We had been talking for an hour now. Adromida had called Areena, but I needed to talk to her. I grabbed a drachma and a water bottle and said I'd be right back. Mason gave me a "don't do anything stupid" look, and I rolled my eyes playfully back. I walked behind a bush and started pouring the water out of the bottle, then I threw in the drachama and asked Iris to let me call Areena. A few seconds later appeared alone in a tent. "Areena!" I shouted. She looked up. "Sky?" she asked. I nodded. "I'm sorry about everything," I said. She smiled. "Me too, oh, and how was it?" she asked. I gave her a confused look. "How was what?" I asked. She laughed, "Whatdya think?" I started laughing too. "It feels corny to say this, but he's good at it!" We both started cracking up. It felt good to talk to Areena again, even if she was so far away. "Good," she said. "Ya, how's life with Artemis?" I asked. She looked suddenly brighter, my heart sunk. I'd half hopped she'd hate it and want to be a normal girl again. "Great! Everyone's so nice! I really do love it!" she said gleefully. My smile fadded a little, but I decided to ask what I'd wanted to know since the minute she'd said she was joining the Hunters. "Why did you want to be a hunter?" I asked. She seemed to be thinking about it. "Well, I just felt like I didn't belong at Camp, and I felt like I would never belong, ya know?" she asked. I stared at her blankly. "No." I shook my head. She smiled. "Well of course you don't know! You belong at Camp. I don't." I nodded understandingly. I was happy for her. Suddenly I ran out of water. "Well, bye!" Areena shouted through the mist. "Bye!" I waved until I could no longer see her. I really did miss her. I wished with all my heart that she would come back.

AreenaParticipant(Yeah, of course)
Andromeda told me the message. She shimmered out of existence, just when Phoebe walked in. "Hey Areena. Jessica has roasted a boar, if you would like some. She's the best cook." I smiled. "Yeah, maybe later. But right now, I need to do a favor for a friend of mine. She wants me to talk to her mom. Apparently she lives here. Do you think that Artemis would let me go?" She thought about it. "Yeah, but you would probably have to take another girl with some more experience. I could go." "Great, I'll go and ask Lady Artemis." I walked out into the cold. Artemis was with some of the other girls, teaching them hunting techniques. "Um, Lady Artemis?" She lowered her bow. "Yes, Areena?" I gulped. "Can I go on a private expedition, with Phoebe?" She thought about it. "Yes, but I would like it for you to track down an animal, my sacred doe. I last heard of it in the town of Lake Water." I pictured the town of Lake Water in my head. I guess that being a Hunter you got better geography. Twolane Drive was in Lake Water. Perfect! "All right, I will track down the doe. Phoebe and I will leave at once." She mumbled something about young enthusiasm or something and returned to her lesson. "Phoebe, Artemis said that we could go." She instantly packed up our tent and we teleported to Lake Water.

NAMEParticipantK, I wanna get back to RJ and Sam, but I forgot what they were doing. So ya, I guess I'll check after I send this.

Areena/SamParticipant//Sam//
I rocked back and forth on my feet. "So. Let's go somewhere." RJ punched me. "Well duh. That's kinda the point of a quest." I punched her back. "Fine. Let's go." I walked down the street, towards the Hudson River. As I got closer, I heard little voices in my head. HUH! It's her! It's Lady Sam! Daughter of Aeolus! What would you like us to do, Lady Sam? "Okay, um, uh, do, whatever snails do?" Yeah, I'm the lady of snails. Great. I have a phobia of snails, and they worship me. Woohoo. "Oh, wait, could you guys get some of the fish to help us cross? That would be awesome. I think that there's a French restaurant around here. I'll put in a good word. So, please?"
-
NAMEParticipantRJ-
It was the weirdest thing I'd ever seen. Sam was crouched down talking to snails. She nodded to them, said good-bye, and walked over. "Umm Sam, no offense, but that didn't look good. (That other boy on the quest whose name I keep forgeting here) nodded. "Ya, about 50 people walked by, and the whole time you were crouched down talking to snails. It wasn't pritty." He said. I nodded and turned back to her. She looked annoyed and embarased. I smiled. "Hey don't insult me, I just got us a ride to California! LA baby!" SHe shouted. (That boy) and I took a step back and acted like we didn't know Sam. She blushed. "Sorry." She said sheepishly.
After our interesting ride on river fish through rivers only we finaly got to LA. Sam had agreed to not using river fish for transportation for a while because we all fell off at least 5 times, got no sleep, no food, no water, and were annoyed when we got tons of scrapes because the fish were the only ones who could fit in this small tunnel we had to go through. But after walking around a bit we finaly lost our box shape. Then we moved on. LA was huge, I looked around every corner, and found nothing that could help us find our way around. Eventually we saw smoke coming out of some woods. We went in to investigate. We saw three kids sitting around a fire in blankets. They were laughing and having a good time. When I noticed the back-packs and granola bar wrappers I guessed they were on a camping trip. When we got closer I realised they weren't just ordinary campers, they were either street tuffs, or demi-gods. There were knives littering the ground. Almost every bit of cloths I saw had blood on them, and the cloths looked fadded and worn. A girl and a boy were sharing the same blanket. The girl had long layered hair, that looked like the closest it had gotten to being washed the past few days was getting dumped on by river water. The boy next to her, and the other girl with her own blanket. I walked a little closer, I accidently snapped a twig, and the laughing immediately stopped. the girl sharing the blanket with the boy stood up and turned around. As soon as she saw us she lunged at me with a knife in her hand. I recognized her, but couldn't remember where I'd seen her. We fought for a while. Sam fighting the other girl, and (that boy) fighting the boy who'd been sharing his blanket. After a while she managed to get my knife out of my hand and pointed her sword at me. "Who are you?" She asked. "RJ Jones." I responded. The annoyance in her eyes all but covered the realization in them. She lowered her sword. "Why'd you come here?" She asked. I still didn't know who she was. "We saw the fire and wanted to investigate. We're hungry, tired, and cold, and needed a place to sleep." She put her sword back. So did her friends. "I'm Sky, thats Mason and Adromida. You can stay here, but in the morning we're leaving, and you're either comin, or goin." I could tell she was from here. I didn't know why, but I could tell.

Areena/SamParticipant//Areena//
"Well. Here we are." I used by bow to make an image in the dirt, it was a picture of all my friends, in the labyrinth, when we met up with Steve. I smiled. "You know that you are not alone. You will see them again soon. But for now we are your family. We will always be there for you. Don't worry. You will be all right. But for now, we must deliver your friend's message."
//Sam//
I cracked my back, but said thanks to the fish. Riding on the river was an odd experience. Whenever I wasn't in the water, I felt like I was being pounded with a metal baseball bat with glued-on spikes. But whenever water would be sprayed onto me, I would feel like I was at the spa, getting a mud bath (partly true) while people would rub my feet.

NAMEParticipantSky-
As soon as the other kids got settled I decided that I would take the first watch. "Why do we need someone to keep watch?" Adromida asked. "Well, I just don't want anymore surprises," I said, my eyes narrowed. I grabbed my navy-blue sweatshirt and turned around. "She's really nice once you get to know her," I heard Mason say. I was pretty sure Adromida smirked nex, 'cause the next thing she said was, "Ya, he'd know." The others giggled. "Anyway, she's just been a little on edge ever since Areena left," Adromida finished. "Who's Areena?" the girl Sam asked. After this I stopped listening. I sat on a giant rock about 10 feet away from the camp and waited.
After about 15 minutes I heard something. I turned around. Everyone was asleep, and all that was left was the flickering, dying light of the fire. "I'm loosing my mind," I muttered. After a minute and a half I heard it again: The snapping of a twig. I looked around: nothing. I heard it again. I turned back to look at the camp. Nothing. I shrugged and turned around. Then I saw what had been making all the noise. The minotaur. I was about to grab my sword when someone, human, I think, grabbed me from behind and put a towel to my mouth. I wanted to fight back, but I was getting sleepy; eventualy I blacked out.(Umm if this is ok with you ZB, she wakes up in a warehouse really close to where Areena is, and Areena helps get her out. Is that ok with you? Because that way they get to see each other again, and ya.)

Areena/SamParticipantOk, but the warehouse is in Lake Water, 'cause I have to deliver Andromida's message.
//Areena//
I jumped over rocks and searched to town for Andromeda's mom's house. She had to be here somewhere. "Areena!" I heard Phoebe yell. "Yes?" "I found her house!"
ONE MESSAGE LATER
"OK, that wasn't too hard!" I said. "Wait, listen to that." I jumped onto a rock (there were tons of those here) and tilted my head towards the sound. It was a muffled yell, as if there was a girl who had been ragged against her will. "Sky!" I grabbed my bow and ran towards the warehouse that the sound was coming from. "Areena, come back here!" I flew open the door and climbed the stairs, Phoebe following hastily. "Sky, Sky, where are you??" I finished climbing up the stairs and came into a large metal platform, covered with blood, dust, and various weapons. Sky was tied up and stuck to the wall, and the minotaur was grunting over a fire. "Great. We killed this dude last month. Evil is stirring," Phoebe mumbled. Sky saw us, but continued to struggle as if we weren't there.

NAMEParticipantSky-
I struggled at where the ropes were making cuts and bruises on my skin. The cuts were bleeding, and I was trapped. I would normally not be this angry, but the fact that someone had actually beaten me, really made me angry. Then I saw something that really surprised me: Areena. I continued to struggle like she wasn't there, because I didn't want Mr. Ugly to find her and that hunter next to her. Then a boy walked in. He had short cropped black hair and dark green eyes. His skin was paper pale, and he looked angry. "Shut up, you!" She spoke with a British accent as he growled at me. His hair was greasey and grimy, much like mine, and he looked rough, and like he wasn't afraid to kill. I stopped grunting, but continued to struggle. "And stop struggling too! You're driving me crazy!" I looked at Areena desperately. She had that look in her eyes that she got whenever she was forming a plan in her head. Suddenly I saw her eyes pop with briliance, and I knew that I had never been happier to see her. She started moving, and in no time she was behind the boy and had sliced his arm. He turned around and narrowed his eyes. "What are you?" he asked. Just then Areena's hunter friend came out of the shadows and started fighting him. "Daughter of Athena, and hunter of Artemis," Areena scoffed, then she hurried over to untie me. First she took the cloth out of my mouth, then started chopping at the rope. "Thank the gods you're here!" I gasped, taking a deep breath that wasn't stopped by cloth. "No problem, I'm always ready to save the day," she grunted, starting on th ropes binding my wrists. "I can see that, thanks," I said. "Umm, Sky?" "Ya?" "Why are you here? Where's everyone else?" "Well, I was kidnapped by ugly number 1 and ugly number 2, and when I woke up I was here." She looked sympathetic. "Where is everyone else?" she asked. "Umm, they're still in LA." Areena looked up from her work. "LA? We're in COLORADO! How did these two idiots get you all they way over here?" she asked, astonished. "No idea." By now she had just finished cutting me free, and I grabbed my sword off the floor, and we charged together at the minotaur. I slashed and rolled and dodged. Areena did the same, but with much more grace. I felt a pang of jealousy. Ever since Areena had become a hunter she had become much more gracefull when fighting than she used to be. Eventually we had the minotaur pinned. "Will you do the honors?" Areena asked. "Don't mind if I do!" I said happily, and stabbed the minotaur right in the chest. There was a groan, and then the giant half man half bull exploded in a cloud of silver dust which got all over us. "Ewww! Monster guts!" I groaned. Areena just laughed. We looked over to see that Areena's friend had pinned my human kidnapper on the floor and was tieing him up. I walked over. "All right, tell us what you know," I said, putting my foot on his chest, and pointing my sword at his throat. "I don't know what you're talking about." He lifted his chin as much as he could on the floor. I put my sword closer to his throat. "Tell us," I growled. "All right, all right. Here's what I know……."
(I thought you could finish that ZB. 😉
