Annabeth's POV

Well today was going grate, so I guess I should have seen this coming . I heard a scream behind me and I ... wait , I should probably start from the beginning . (Earlier that day) My name is Annabeth Chase I am a demigod, I am a daughter of Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare . I live in camp half-blood witch is the only safe place for people like me (well one of the only places but that's another story).

It is thanksgiving brake so I was spending it hear at camp . After the war with Gaea I desided to go to school in New York for my senior year . Anyway I had just finished teaching a class on Greek myths to a class room full of ADHD 3rd grade demigods . Yea, not the most fun activity camp has to offer, but now it was free time . I stepped out of the class room and into the warm sunshine . It was a perfect day the sky was clear a slight cool breeze blew through the camp from the strawberry fields carrying the amazing smell across the valley .

I jogged to the arena where Percy would be finishing up a sword fighting class . As I jogged through the camp I watched campers climb the rock wall , lava following them up . And played basketball, soccer, volley ball, soft ball, baseball, and a bunch of other things . I reached the arena just as the Demeter cabin was walking out the door . Well , all but one little girl who looked to be about six she had chocolate skin, curly golden brown hair and emerald green eyes . Why cant Clarisse teach us tomorrow like she does every Wednesday ,she was asking .

Percy smiled down at her , its a secret he said , she looked up at him pleadingly I can keep a secret she said . He smiled at her your Kimmy right he asked , she beamed obviously happy that someone important remembered her name . She nodded her head , he picked her up and whispered into her ear . She held on to him smiling and giggling , he set her down gently you cant tell anyone he told her I'm trusting you it can be our little secret .

She nodded again still smiling she gave him a hug ,see you latter Percy she said running to Katie Gardner who was waiting for her at the door . After she left he turned to me and gave me a lopsided grin , hey wise girl I see that you survived the 3rd graders he said. Yep I answered that was adorable I said referring to the scene with Kimmy (her name is Kimberly but everyone calls her Kimmy) .

Me or Kimmy he asked giving me a quick kiss ,I smacked him playfully both of you are adorable I said but I was referring to the whole scene . He nodded and sat next to me , what did you tell her I asked . At that he smiled Clarisse and Chris have a date tomorrow and Clarisse is going to wear a dress . No I said thinking that he was messing with me everyone knows that Clarisse and Chris where together, but Clarisse in a dress no way . No I'm not kidding he said laughing she needed me to take her class tomorrow and in exchange for doing it I made her tell me what she was doing, and I recorded it so I can use it as blackmail .

You mean that you can use it to stop her from using any blackmail on you, its insurance I said yep he answered . I laughed and laid my head on his shoulder , after a few minutes of comfortable silence he said , its around three fifteen we have the rest of the afternoon , so what do you want to do .

We spent the rest of the day playing basketball, volley ball, climbing the rock wall, and just hanging out with old friends . The sun was sinking low in the west when Piper , Jason, Thaila (the hunters are at camp for a visit) Percy and I where sitting by the lake . When Clarisse came up to us with one little girl on her shoulders a little boy hanging from her arm .

She had just enough time to wave with her free hand before two other kids ran up and tackled her at the knees and she went down laughing and tickling them . I smiled Clarisse was normally mean to most people but she had a soft spot for kids and after fighting two wars with her , well that normally make bonds that are not easily broken . Watching all of my friends laugh and smile made me so happy to not be fighting any more , no more wars , no more end of the world crap , and after ... no today was a good day I would not ruin it by thinking of that .

Clarisse got up, done torturing the children , and shooed them off to find there siblings , walked over and sat next to me . She didn't say anything , only listening to the conversation as I had bean doing . Thaila and Percy where exchanging old stories Piper and Jason where talking about something that one of the Apollo campers said . But did the peaceful scene stay peaceful , no of course not it never does.

Just then a satyr burst out of the woods, we all jumped . He was trying to say something but was panting to hard , well what is it Clarisse asked getting impatient . After a minute he was able to tell us what was wrong, right outside the barrier , he said, eight people in robes with weird curved sticks like wands are surrounding Amy . My hart crawled into my throat , Amy is my niece her father was a son of Athena he died in the last war . And her mother was mortal who died in a car accident only a year after Amy was born .

She is only five the youngest camper we have . We where all standing by now . They seam to be waiting for something, the satyr continued . Attention I said they want to be noticed , go get Chiron but don't tell anyone else . He nodded and ran off toward the big house , the five of us ran into the woods from where the satyr had come . As we ran through the woods I thought about what the satyr had said .

People in robes with weird curved sticks like wands, it reminded me of a magician I had met a few days ago . Sadie, we had agreed to keep are two worlds apart but apparently that's out the window . We ran through the barrier, and what I saw angered me beyond words, there was Amy surrounded by eight people in robes . three girls and five guys the oldest seemed to be in his early twenties .

They each had a white staff in one hand and a curved ivory wand in the other, they where standing in a semi circle facing us, Amy behind them . Her golden curls that had bean braided this morning where now a dirty tangled mess framing her terrified face there was a small cut above her left eye . Her beautiful grey eyes that where normally bright with joy now shone with fear, she had a gag around her mouth and her hands and feet where tied together .

She was pale trembling and afraid, I unsheathed my Drakon bone sword that I always kept with me . Percy brought out riptide, Clarisse didn't have her electric spear with her so instead she pulled out a long black Stygian iron dagger . Piper had her dagger Katoptris Jason had his sword and Thaila being a hunter of Artemis had a bow. For a minute we all stood there sizing each other up, then finally the magicians charged .

One came at me with her staff I blocked and in one smooth motion I forced her staff down with my sword, at the same time pulling my extra dagger out of my belt and stabbed the blade into her temple . Blood poured out she fell without a sound, I didn't have time to feel guilty though I don't think I would if I did, they had hurt Amy . Another one came at me, Jason get Amy I yelled, he kicked the one he was fighting away and bolted for Amy . The magician got up, pointed his wand at Amy and yelled in another language that I didn't know .

A black beam of light shot out of his wand and hit Amy in the stomach, her eyes closed and she toppled over with out a sound . Just then Jason got to her he scooped her up and lunched in to the air, he flew over the tree tops and out of sight . I kicked the magician that I was currently beating away, and he seamed to understand that shooting fire balls at me and swinging his staff was not going to work .

He stepped back raised his wand and staff together said something in that langue that they all where speaking . And a small tornado of fire erupted in front of him, he sank to his knees like the effort made him to tired to stand . The tornado surged toward me, it was beautiful, red, orange, blue, and white all swirling together flickering and changing . But of course it was trying to kill me, I dove to the right tucking into a role I dropped my sword but that was fine I had my dagger .

I jumped up turning toward the magician if I killed him the tornado would disappear (in theory) but the tornado was in front of him protecting him . I ran to the left, it chased me, it was right behind me I was about to dive to the right when I herd Piper scream . I hesitated for just a second but it was a second to long, just as I realized my mistake I dove to the right . The tornado sored past me, but it had got me, my arm burned but time for that latter . I turned to see Piper on the ground a magician standing over her fire ball in hand .

Thaila had abandoned her bow for twin hunting knifes and was doing fine against two magicians Clarisse had captured one and Percy had just beheaded another . The magician fell next to another body at Percy's feet, Percy save Piper I yelled, he turned and thrust out his hand, the magician standing above Piper gasped stumbled holding his throat as if he where choking .

The tornado was coming back, the stupid magician behind it, angry I pulled my dagger and ran strait at the tornado . It sped up coming right at me, but just before I collided with it I jumped to the left throwing my dagger at the same time . It sank into his chest he screamed in pain and collapsed (any normal dagger would not have bean able to kill him but this one was celestial bronze) I turned just in time to see the tornado disappear .

Then something weird happened, well my life as a whole is based on weird stuff so why stop now . The magicians started to dissolve in to dust, or at least all the ones we killed the one Clarisse seamed to be fine, well other than being cut and bruised because he was stupid enough to attack Clarisse .

It didn't make since they weren't monsters there body's should not have turned to dust . Question for another time I reminded myself Percy Thaila and I ran to Piper, her calf was covered in blood . You will be fine Thaila told Piper while she examined her wound, its not deep . Clarisse walked up her captive slung over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes tied up and unconscious .

We should head back she said, and with that she walked into the woods, she's right I said we should . Percy turned to me and his face fell, what I asked I looked down and saw my arm, it was an angry red even black in some places . And now that the adrenaline was wearing off it started to hurt and it hurt a LOT, I felt my eyes water . No, no I would not cry I told myself Percy wrapped his arm around my shoulders carful not to touch my arm . Water floated up from the ground wrapping around my burn like a cast, it eased the burning a bit .

I let out a sigh of relief thank you Percy I said anything for you Annabeth he answered . I smiled he stepped over to Piper crouched down and picked her up bridal style, she winced rising he asked Thaila you good . Of course she answered as I picked up my sword we all turned and headed back to camp .
