Mackenzie Gray was nervous. Not only that, but nauseas as well. When Michael Yew had helped convince everyone remaining at camp to help fight with Jackson, her stomach started to churn.
Not that shet; she still couldnJust don Travis Stoll pleaded to her as she handed him an old badminton birdie, two batteries and a spool of thread. That was the deal so she could get the amour, but what he did with the stuff she gave him still remains a mystery.
Then Percy gave out the command for Michael to lead us to the Williamsburg Bridge. Those two words locked around her head, swimming in dreaded anticipation. But she had to hold it down for now. Because being a demigod meant that you had to act like one, too. Not some scared little girl. Percy then gave us a few quick words of encouragement, telling us to bravely fight no matter what happens.
he shouted, raising his sword. We answered in a roar that seemed to bounce around the city. And for one brief moment, Mackenzie knew that there was no chance of them losing.
So as it turns out, monsters can be really big. REALLY big. As soon as Mackenzie and her cabin mates got on the bridge, monsters of all kinds started advancing towards the city. She barely had time to line up in ranks- like Michael said in the car ride over- before a hellhound pounced on the taxicab in front of her.

Mackenzie rolled to the closest sidewalk and fired off two arrows that exploded at the lampHey Jake,s discarded bow lay beside her, Jake nowhere to be seen. A bubble of emotion swelled up in Mackenzies thigh was clenched between its massive jaws, and he was repeatedly whacking it in the head with a crow bar. Either the hellhound was really strong, or had a big skull because either way he didns face now had turned a sickening pale color as he was dragged right out of sight and into the row of monsters.
m going after him,But you cans orders!t harmful. Which at this point, they probably were.
t care. Jake is one of us. And if he Mackenzie stated. Then she turned and started to approach the sea of beasts.
She turned around to see Caroline slide JakeGood luck,
Mackenzie took a deep breath, picked up the bow and ran towards the monsters.
