    I felt Annabeth's shuddering breath against my hand. She was knocked out hard, even I would've gotten injured. Who can't when you're whacked by a mace?
   Lucas burst out of the elevator. "What just happened? I saw someone whack my sister!"
   I stood up. "Stop acting like she's your little sister! She's older than you by 3 months!"
   Lucas pouted. "Well at least I'm not trying to be tough by saying 'no' all the time!"
   "Be quiet."
   "You can't make me!"
   "THAT'S ENOUGH!" A boy wearing some tattered jeans and a sun on his orange shirt stepped out of the shadows. He was pushing a cart full of medical appliances.
   "Son of Apollo," I greeted. "obvious."
   "Actually, I am the Amazing Apollo, God of the Sun, poetry and medical needs at your service!" The boy boasted happily. "Waaay better than my sister. Ugh, can you believe her? She's like, 'Apollo! You're so lazy during winter!' And I'm like, 'You're so lazy during summer!' It get's really annoying. Just because she's the Goddess of the Moon and hunting doesn't mean she has to be a brat about it!"
   I blinked. "Are you on a sugar rush?"
  "Maybe!" Apollo replied happily. He was so energetic, I began to feel faint like Annabeth.
  "Can you just heal Annabeth?" Lucas looked around the attic filled with other injured campers. "And then them?"
  "That's why I am here!" Apollo grinned.
  The smile on Apollo's face melted as he reached for a needle. It was filled with odd, colorful circles. Sweat beaded down the god's face as he was about to stick it in Annabeth's arm.
  "Must be adrenaline." Lucas breathed.
  As Apollo was about to push the button, he suddenly raised it above his mouth and then pushed it. The colorful circles fell in his mouth.
  "Gotta love Skittles!"Apollo swooned.
  I tried to close my mouth. "You did all that, just to eat Skittles? Are you like Hermes?"
  Apollo's facial expression came from happy to furious. "And miss, are you a daughter of..."
  "SHHH!" I told Apollo. "No one needs to know who's my father."
  "Drama queen." Apollo coughed. "Anyways, I am not like Hermes in any such way or fashion. Now, to prove it, I shall keep my very promise."
  "It wasn't a promise." Lucas muttered. Apollo turned bright red.
  "Just be quiet!" Apollo said.
  Lucas closed his mouth as Apollo raised his hand over Annabeth. She finally opened her eyes and the big bump on her head disappeared.
  "Wow." I said.
  "Hi guys." Annabeth said and hugged us both. "So good to be awake again. I saw something odd. Like a dream telling me something."
  Before me and Lucas could react, a voice yelled loud and clear. "CAMP IS UNDER ATTACK! MINOTAUR AND HYDRA HAS CAME TO ATTACK!"
