I couldn't breathe…

The last thing I remembered is hearing a scream from little sister Jenna's room; I ran as fast as I could throughout the house to her door, as I flung it open I saw…something…I wasn't sure exactly what I was seeing…

It had the body of a lion, a human head with three rows of sharp ass teeth closely resembling a shark, with a long scorpion like tail that looked like it could kill me with ease. Without contemplating my decision I yelled, "Leave her alone," I wish I could say that it came out with such amazing confidence and strength that the creature fled and I stood there victorious; end of story well….that was definitely not the case. Its head shot to me noticing there was someone else besides itself and my baby sister.

It flung itself at me and before my mind could even process what was going on my feet acted for me, I rolled to the left as it buried its face into the wall about the same level my neck would have been just moments before. It turned around snarling lunging at me with incredible speed, but somehow I managed to avoid it again grabbing up Jenna in the process and sprinting from the room. I ran faster than I have ever run before with my sister bawling her eyes out in my arms I tried to assure her that everything would be okay, but even to me my words sounded hollow and I knew it wasn't going to help. We had made it out the front door and almost to my truck when the front door exploded sending me flying with a hard reunion with the dirt and gravel driveway…my vision blurry I started looking around for Jenna after a few moments I saw her lying right under the front bumper of my truck motionless. I then tried to stand all I felt was excruciating pain and I nearly blacked out…I felt helpless…I managed to roll myself over to see the monster slowly approaching me knowing I was going to be an easy kill…I begged my sister for forgiveness for not being strong enough to save her, I closed my eyes as I prepared myself for death my last words resonating in my ears, "I love you Jenna…"

Now it feels like a thousand needles are stabbing me all over my body, I can barely keep enough breath to ensure my lungs function correctly. I can hear muffled voices around me so apparently I'm not dead…yet. After eminence amounts of concentration I was able to retain enough of my hearing to make out the conversation around me.

"Are you sure he'll be able to live through this?" I heard a woman's voice say.

"No, not entirely, but he has one of the strongest will and an aura around him that could closely resemble if not match Percy's" a man's voice said.

"Are you serious? There's no way unless he's a child of the Big Three as well and to my knowledge none of them have had any more children." Nervousness and a tad bit of wonder and a know-it-all attitude in her voice.

"That's just it, the Gods may be holding their promise, but you know they will always have their secrets they wouldn't be the Gods we know and love if they didn't Annabeth." The man's voice said again.

"You're such a suck up Chiron." Annabeth said with an amused laugh.

Then my body bucked with pain, all at once blackness consumed me again…
