A/N-

Sorry that I'm a little late with this update, but a friend of mine called asking if I wanted to hang out and I decided to go. Thanks to everyone that reviewed, both on the last chapter and on the note that I posted. Also, thanks to everyone that favorited and subscribed. Now here are the responses to your reviews.

Empty Thoughts- Thanks for reviewing, I glad you're enjoying the story. I guess I see your point with the review thing, the formats grown on me a bit, but a still miss the old version. I'm sorry that you find the dots annoying, but for some reason I like the look of them in the story, so they will most likely be staying. Thanks again for reviewing.

Bookdancer- Thanks for the review, and thanks for offering to do the cover art. I made something really simple, but if you still want to send in a different pic you're defiantly welcome to. It would probably be much better than what I made.

anonymousreader666- Thanks for taking the time to review the story. A beta reader is basically someone that reads of the chapters before had in order to catch mistakes and give input on the plot. About the thing with the Stoll brothers, I'm not sure why, but every time I typed their surname, I wrote Stroll. I thought I had fixed all of them when I was editing, but I guess I missed a few. Thanks again for reviewing.

Fyrefly0.0- Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

Mighty Ruler of Gummi Bears- I'm glad you're enjoying the story, thanks for reviewing. Also, I sorry I didn't get this chapter out last night.

molesmt- Don't worry, I won't be abandoning this story. I really want to finish it. Thanks for taking the time to review and I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

ArcheressxX- Thanks for reviewing, I glad you like the story.

Nolestr1- I glad you like the story, thanks for taking the time to review.

SailorSea- Thanks for the review, it's really nice to know that you enjoy this story. Piper will be showing up again pretty soon, but you'll have to wait a bit longer to learn Sally and Leo's fates. Thanks again for reviewing.

Wow, that was a lot of reviews! Now last chapter I had announced my rash desion to change this story from being a shortish series into a super long book. I have now rethought this decision, so there will be three other books. Also, did you guys notice the new cover art? What do you think?

Special thanks to ExtremeFanBoy for betaing this chapter!

I'm really excited about this chapter. I fell like it's the turning point in this book, so I really hope everyone enjoys it. I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. So, without further ado, here is chapter 11. Enjoy.

Annabeth seemed to think that it was the right time to interrupt because she turned to me and held out her hand, "So you're the mysterious Percy Jackson I keep hearing about. Annabeth Chase."

Chapter 11-

.

.

.

It was strange how comfortable I felt inside the caves. Even though I hardly knew anyone there, I still felt like I was accepted. After I talked with Chiron and Annabeth, the centaur asked a satyr named Grover to show me around.

Grover was a tall satyr with curly brown hair, brown eyes, and the start of a wispy goatee. Of course Grover also had furry, brown goat legs and some small horns. Over all he seemed pretty cool, a little nervous at times, but I could tell that we'd be friends.

Grover was showing the way to the kitchen area when I noticed the black haired girl, Silena Beauregard. My hand instinctively reached towards my pocket, where the note from Beckendorf was. I glanced at Grover, who was hurrying ahead of me in order to get to the food quicker.

Making sure the Goat boy wouldn't notice I stepped into the passage way leading towards the girl.

"Silena," I said as I walked towards her.

She turned around and looked at me before saying, "Yes?" and gesturing for me to speak.

"Does your last name happen to be Beauregard?" I asked awkwardly.

She raised an eyebrow in a why-does-it-matter-to-you fashion before she responded. "Yes, I am Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite."

I nodded to myself before taking Beckendorf's letter out of my pocket. "When I was umm… enslaved at this ranch down in Texas, one of my friends gave me a letter. He asked me to give it to Silena Beauregard and said that I could find her at the rebellions base camp. I can only assume that you're the girl he was talking about." I said all of that very quickly before holding the letter out to her.

A look of confusion, mixed with both pain and joy crossed Silena's face before she put on a blank expression and took the letter. Her eyes widened as she took in the information on the page. She just looked at the letter for a moment before rushing forward and pulling me into a hug. She then let go, turned around, and ran down the hall.

I considered going after her, but decided that she probably wanted some alone time. I turned around and started walking back down the tunnel, but then I heard a familiar voice call my name.

Standing behind me, was Hayden. His eyes had bags underneath then, nut otherwise, he looked the same as he did the last time I saw him.

"Hey, Percy," he said when he caught up to me.

"Hi Hayden."

He stood there awkwardly for a moment before saying, "So I guess you're probably wondering why a simple mortal like me, is here."

I just raised an eyebrow before nodding in response.

"Well," he said, "I…umm… I guess the best place to start is how I was affected by the Titans rule. Not all the families that resisted the Titans became Intactilis. Some, including my family attempted to escape. The Titans had been closing in on the group of people I was traveling with. We would have died if Chiron and the demigods hadn't found us when they did."

"After they rescued us, Chiron offered to let us travel with them. Soon after that we found this place and began to settle in. It wasn't till a few years later that we needed to start recruiting demigods. Now, with all the monsters looking for traitors, we couldn't send the satyrs to school like they did before the war. So, instead a few of the mortals that had tagged along for the journey, including me, began searching. After a few schools, I met you."

I looked at him for a moment before asking the one question the jumped out at me, "Why did you run away when Annabeth blow up the museum?"

Hayden put his hand in his hand before he replied, "To be honest, I was scared. The attack on the museum wasn't supposed to happen that day, but the Titans had been getting closer and closer to find their location, so Annabeth had the Stoll brothers steal some Yancy uniforms. When I saw them there, I was afraid that I had been discovered, that I had failed."

He glanced up at me before continuing, "I know I messed up that day. I mean you must hate me. If I was still at the school, I would have brought you down here the moment the blood test was announced and you wouldn't have had to go through any of that."

"How do you know what happened to me after you left Yancy?" I asked.

"I talked to Chiron before I came to find you. He told me everything you told him," he replied.

I was thinking of how to best respond to this when Grover came running down the hall. Each time his hoof hit the ground it had a soft clop sound. When he finally reached us, he was breathing heavily and said in a wispy voice, "I have been looking everywhere for you. Chiron has recalled the council meeting. It's time to talk about the rebellions next step."

"Strategically," Annabeth said, "We need to retake Camp Half-Blood. The rebellion has barely been able to survive leaving in this cave, but there is no way that we'll be able to fight a war from here. I mean, we don't even have a space big enough to fit all of the members inside the cave, also, if we were to be attacked, we'd be trapped inside here. "

"I don't know," said a buff girl named Clarisse, "They've made the camp a base of their own. We don't even know what it looks like anymore. Without detailed maps of their facilities, attacking that area would be crazy."

"Clarisse, you're forgetting about the fact that we have member that was within the camp border not even a month ago," replied Annabeth. As she said this, she had started looking directly at me. It was as though she expected me to create a map of the camp.

Annabeth then spread out a large map, "This," she said, "Is a map that I drew of Camp Half-Blood as I remember it. Percy here will now add what he remembers of the Titans base to this map." She handed me a pen and scouted the paper towards me.

I looked at the map for a moment before realizing that I did recognize some of the features. I was able to drawing the approximate area of the prison, and a few other buildings that I had seen while outside. I was also able to show where they had built the fence. After I finished everyone started examining the paper.

After a while a girl sighed and said, "Unless I'm missing something, there's no way that we could easily attack. There's no great way for us all to enter, and if we were able to get in, the army would arrive with much better weapons."

Annabeth studied the map for a few moments longer before replying, "Your right, without some way to reach the center of the camp, we won't be able to take it."

Everyone was quiet for a few moments before an idea hit me, "Why don't we use the tunnels?" I said. Some gave me weird looks, so I decided to continue, "Over the last few days I have traveled thousands of miles though underground tunnels, that as far as I can tell, lead everywhere."

Annabeth studied me for a moment before glancing at Chiron. He seemed to understand what her look meant because he soon spoke up, "Percy, I believe what you're talking about may be the Labyrinth, but even if we were able to enter it, we'd have no way to navigate it."

"Wait, what do you mean?" I asked, "I was able to get through it just fine."

"Percy," said Annabeth, "When you were in the Labyrinth, you weren't trying to reach a certain location. If you are attempting to get somewhere in particular, than the labyrinth will change and attempt to confuse you. It's like the mist is blocking you path."

I thought about what she was saying. The mist couldn't be blocking my path because it no longer existed. However, as soon as I thought that, Rachel's words rang though my ear, Kronos got rid of most of it, but even he wouldn't have been able to get rid of all of it. That was when it started to make sense. The labyrinth must have been one of those places where the mist was so strong that I would be impossible to completely get rid of it.

A smile spread across my face as I looked at all the people seated at the table, "When I was imprisoned I met a clear sighted mortal that was captured by Kronos. She told me that there were certain places where the mist was still in tacked. What if the Labyrinth is one of them? We could just find her and she could lead us through."

A smile spread across Annabeth's face, but others didn't look so sure. The girl from earlier, Clarisse, was the first to speak up, "I'm all for trying this, but how do we even find this girl? And if we do, how do we know that she'll help us."

"She'll help us, I know she will," I replied.

Annabeth the decided that it was time to speak up, "As to your other question, we can find her by looking at the records stored at the Titan's camps. They'll have list keeping track of where each prisoner is. We can use that to find this Rachel."

The next day, the Stolls and I were all packed to head to Colorado Spring, where the Titans had taken over the Air force Academy and made it a training area of their soldiers. I had a backpack with a change of clothes, a hundred bucks in cash, and a bag of real gold drachmas.

I could feel my stomach twisting as I walked toward the main cavern where I was going to meet my two companions. It was hard to imagine, I was about to break into a Titan camp, and if everything went well, I'd be breaking into another very very soon.

When in the main cavern, Chiron was standing there with Conner and Travis. He smiled at me as I approached and put a hand on my shoulder. "Now Percy, before you head off, you will need a way to defend yourself."

He then held out a bronze, ball point pen. "Your father asked me to hold on to this; however I feel that he'd want you to have it. I know you haven't been trained to fight, but with all hope you won't even have to use it. Training can wait till you get back."

I looked at him for second before taking the pen. It looked like something that cost thirty cents; I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that was all my father had left me. The only thing even slightly unique about the object was the word engraved on it, Anaklusmos, "Sir, you make it sound as if you were giving a sword, but this is just a pen."

The old centaur chuckled to himself before reply, "Percy, I am giving you a sword. Just uncap the pen."

I sent him a quizzical look before removing the cap. Instead of realizing the head of the pen like I expected, it grew into a large bronze sword. A smile spread across my face as I put the cap back on. Chiron jus patted my shoulder and told me that the pen would always return to my pocket.

With that, I turned towards the Stoll brothers and started walking out of the cave; ready to fight.
