Hello Darling

June reached the battle and looked around in horror

"Oh, my gods"

"This is what happens when a powerful monster gets in," Dream said as she reached June's side,

"How often does this happen?" June asked as she watched the Chimaera send some campers flying,

"We have a monster get in at least once a month," Jace said

"Why don't you have protection from the Gods and Goddesses?" June asked confused as to why the Gods and Goddesses wouldn't protect their children;

"The Gods and Goddesses don't get involved in such trivial things," Dream said

"Now enough chatter. let's go help the others". Dream pulled her bow and started firing arrows at the Chimaera; the Chimaera focused its attention on Dream and ran towards her. Dream stayed in her position, not even flinching as the Chimaera inched closer;

"Jace!" Dream shouted as the Chimaera reached her,

"Got it!" Jace shouted back as Dream rolled to the side and Jace slashed the Chimaera's front right leg. The Chimaera howled in pain and swatted everything near itself; campers were sent flying, and Jace barely made it out of the Chimaera's reach. Apollo campers ran to the injured; all June could do was watch as the campers continued to get hurt and even die,

"June!" Dream shouted

"Follow Jace!", June looked at Jace, who nodded to her, and June followed him into battle.

"You go get the Chimaera's right back leg, and I'll go for its right front leg again" Jace explained

"Why are you going for the right front leg again?" June asked as she transformed her stick into a sword,

"I didn't go deep enough into the leg," Jace said. June looked at the wound, it was pretty deep but the Chimaera didn't seem too bothered by the injury.

"How deep does the wound have to be?" June asked

"Just slash the Chimaera's leg as hard as you can" Jace responded and charged for the Chimaera. June ran to the back legs and waited for the Chimaera to focus on the campers trying to distract the monster. The Chimaera took the bait, and while the Chimaera went to attack June slashed the right back leg with all her might. The Chimaera screamed in pain as it fell to the ground, June had almost taken off the Chimaera's back paw. The Chimaera turned its head to see who had downed it,

"Who dares to hurt me!?" the Chimaera shouted and made eye contact with June, who was trying to meet up with Jace,

"Well hello darling," the Chimaera said and June stopped in her tracks,

"Mother?" June said as she looked at the Chimaera; the Chimaera laughed

"Seems like you remember my voice sweet girl". Jace ran over to June and shook her

"June, we have to move"

"Jace, why is my mother a monster?" June asked while keeping eye contact with her mother,

"There's a veil to hide the monsters and the battles we have from mundane eyes. You might not have been able to see what your mother was due to her being a powerful monster, powerful monsters have the ability to mask themselves from Demigods" Jace explained to June, who listened to the words coming out of Jace's mouth but kept her eyes on the Chimaera,

"Mother" June said as she watched the Chimaera try to stand up. Jace realizing he couldn't get June to move on her own, Jace grabbed June and ran towards Dream.

"Dream!" Jace shouted as he carried June in his arms,

"Jace? What's wrong?" Dream asked, worry escaping with every word she spoke,

"June's mother is the Chimaera," Jace said as he sat June against a rock,

"What?" Dream asked and Jace pointed towards the Chimaera

"June's mother," Jace said. Dream looked at Jace and then looked at the Chimaera

"June's mother?" Dream said to herself as she looked at June,

"June?" Dream called out to the little girl frozen in shock,

"June, are you alright?" Dream asked as she touched June's shoulder. June looked at Dream like Dream had just woken June up from a nightmare

"Dream?" June asked

"Oh, June" Dream cried as she looked at June and pulled June into a hug. June felt loved and safe while Dream hugged her, sadly the moment couldn't last.

"Dream, the Chimaera is standing again and looking at us," Jace said as he raised his sword,

"Well I think it's fair to say that we keep June away from her and we need to get close to her chest in order to kill the Chimaera" Dream rambled out her plan, while the Chimaera got ready to send fire towards Drean and Jace. The Chimaera used its goat head to aim and send a blast of fire at Dream and Jace, who was busy planning and not paying attention to the Chimaera behind them. June watched as the fire got closer and realized Dream and Jace weren't moving to get out of danger.

"Dream! Jace!" June screamed as she stumbled to her feet,

"Oh, June are you feeling better?" Dream asked while completely ignoring the urgency and fear that filled June's words,

"No! Move!" June yelled and started running to Dream and Jace,

"Move?" Jace said as he turned to see the fire behind them,

"Dream, we have to go!" Jace shouted as he grabbed Dream and darted to the side; it was too late the fire was on Jace and Dream the moment they ran. June's body filled with sadness and anger as she watched the fire burn where Jace and Dream stood a couple of seconds ago. June screamed and power-filled her body. Lightning crackled across the sky and thunder boomed,

"I see you've awakened your powers," the Chimaera said as she watched the sky

"You must have really loved those two", the Chimaera mocked June which only angered June more. June's body started to float in the air as her brown hair turned black and her hazel eyes turned a bright blue,

"How dare you hurt Dream and Jace!" June screamed and lightning struck the ground near the Chimaera,

"Oh darling, you are so emotional, just like the God who gave you this power" the Chimaera laughed as she advanced toward June.
