[While Apollo had attended the tower meeting, mostly only to listen in on what information everyone else had, he hadn't bothered to show up to see the prefects open the tower. All their talk of monsters made him even more reluctant to get in the way.
But now... the weird keening noises that echoed outside, the pentagram in the sky, and the sounds of battle coming from the lake convince him that this is a lot more serious than he had anticipated. Instead of doing the smart thing and staying inside, Apollo takes off running out of the dorms and towards the lake shore, as fast as his legs can carry him.
He stumbles and nearly trips when he sees the gigantic tortoise that everyone else is fighting. Okay, now he's having some second thoughts about rushing over to help.]
