Here is da first chapter… enjoy
Alex's POV
"Gosh, it is freezing out here." Groaned Clifford, by the way, he is my fellow demigod.
"Shut it, you're gonna attract all the monsters that have ever existed with that big mouth of yours." I replied
"Ouch, that hurts."
"Good." I shivered as a blast of chilly wind hit me in the face.
Today was our turn on guard duty at Camp Half-blood, the only place we can call a safe haven.
I really don't know what has gotten into Chiron, why on Olympus did he put me on duty with this son of Dionysus, who simply can't fight for his life. He claimed earlier he could fight. Yeah right, probably by throwing grapes at the monster and shouting 'Go to Tartarus' or something like that.
I was busy daydreaming about a pretty girl from the Aphrodite cabin when I heard a shout from Clifford, "Monster!"
I snapped back into reality in an instant, I almost got a heart attack from what I saw- an entire troop of Dracanae. Holy Hephaestus, I thought.
That was when I saw Clifford muttering something, maybe a prayer to his dad or something…
"By almighty Hera's wonderful armpit hairs! Get away from the monsters and pray later!" I shouted.
May Zeus zap him one day, I thought when Clifford just ignored me and that was when I saw some wildlife, squirrels perhaps scampering down from trees, and everywhere.
Squirrels! How can they stop the monsters, I thought. May Poseidon blast you into seawater Clifford!
"Darn it! Clifford! I promise i'll get you when we reach the underworld! I will guarantee you go to the Fields of Punishment, forever!" (Alex's father is Hades.)
It would have been a hilarious sight, seeing the squirrels but we were facing a troop of monsters.
Hundreds of squirrels gathered in front of Clifford wielding, ummmm… celestial bronze acorns?
Clifford (always in a party mood) sang," Everybody dance now!"
Filled with excitement, the squirrels rushed at the Dracanae who were shrinking away nervously at the oncoming army of well, squirrels.
One unfortunate Dracanae standing in the front was the first victim of a squirrel, who threw an acorn at her. She shrieked and vaporised into monster dust.
The rest of the snake women fled pursued by violent squirrels.
"The job is done." Smiled Clifford.
"Oh ok."
I will never judge Clifford the same way as I did earlier… Thanks to his ferocious gang of crazy squirrels. Nor will I ever underestimate a cute squirrel nibbling an acorn at the clearing outside my cabin ever again. I went to bed with nightmares about the squirrels. Arghhhh. Squirrels. Wait till I tell everyone about the squirrels tomorrow!
