Still holding Gina's arm, I reached the Big House. It's blue façade shone in the sun, as if it was a reflection of the sky. Chiron being probably at the Archery Range and Mr. D. being... I don't know, somewhere else, we had not much chances of being caught. And even if we were. What would happen?
I sneaked inside the House with Gina, making as less noise as possible. We found the way to the staircase and went underground, silently.
The stairs were of cold, grey stone, but the temperature rose at every step. I knew the harpies were washing the dishes with lava, that might explain why I suddenly started sweating, and why my black clothes seemed so tight-fitting.
We finally reached the kitchen and crouched down. Only one harpy was there, washing plates while humming a strange song in Ancient Greek. The lava cast a flickering, incredibly hot light inside the room.
I noticed a pile of already washed plates that stood a bit away. I knew that Camp's plates were magical: they always filled with what you wanted to eat.
But now, we had to sneak past the harpy, who could not only smell juicy demigods, but who had a very acute hearing.
And the light would immediately betray us.
But wait... where there's light, there's darkness.
"Watch close and stay here," I whispered to Gina, and, letting go of her, I ordered the shadows to accept me, and I faded away in them
