I left Annabeth by 5:00 in the morning. I headed back to the Chaos Warriors cabin to 'wake up' there. I lay in my bed until around 7:30 when everyone else was asleep. I saw Luke start stirring so I got up and walked out the door lazily to the dining pavilion. I was passing the training arena when I heard a scream.

I was about to rush to the scene when three Apollo campers came rushing out of the woods, carrying a boy about 12 years old, who had a stab wound in his arm. But it was a nasty color, purple. I followed them into the infirmary and watched from the side as they tended to the boy, and several other Apollo medics came in, including Chiron.

"Who got you? What happened?" Asks an Apollo camper to the boy. The boy is wheezing and groaning.

"These men in hoods...they stabbed me and ran...and they said-" the boy passes out.

"Argh, they said what?!" Yells an Apollo camper, but the boy is passed out. They keep rushing around trying to stop the bleeding, and then I notice the color.

His blood is purple.

I run towards the Chaos Cabin as fast as my feet can take me. Everyone is up and getting ready. I burst into the cabin and everyone looks up surprised.

"Someone was attacked. Their blood is turning purple," I say. That's all they need to hear because they are all instantly in their cloaks and disguised, running towards the infirmary. We all crowd around the boy who is soaked in thick dark purple blood.

"Oh my Chaos..." Luke trails off. The boy is sickly pale, his face green.

"What kind of monster did that?" Asks Bianca.

"It was no monster, Angel. One of the cloaked men with the purple weapons attacked him," I say. Chiron walks up to us.

"Omega, what are you talking about?" He asks.

"This is why we are here. We're were told of a great danger to camp, and maybe the world if it gets out of hand. I think this is it," Luke gestures towards the boy. Chiron raises his eyebrows.

"Your voices seem so familiar sometimes..." Chiron ponders. Selena interrupts cleverly.

"That's the trick with being Chaos Warriors. We're called Chaos for a reason. We may tend to remind you of lost loved ones..." she says. Chiron nods and just walks away back towards the bug house.

"You so smart Beauty," Beckendorf says and kisses Selena. Zoe coughs.

"We must go find these...cloaked figures. Let us go into the woods and search," Zoe says. We all nod and head towards the wood. We enter and extend our hearing everywhere, but nothing. There is no trace of the figures that hurt the poor boy.

They are gone.
