Chapter 1

We Play Tag With Zeus's Troll

Percy's POV

I whipped my head back and cursed as I saw that the stupid troll was still behind me. I mean, I've been running for literally twenty minutes. I am not kidding. Why was I running? That, was because of the one and only Grover Underwood, who was in trouble and had left me absolutely no time to grab a weapon or anything. "Come back here, demigod! I have some tickets for the new Joy Ride in Central Park!" The troll howled.
"Yeah, my foot you do," I muttered as I rounded a bend on the street. I could feel the troll's massive feet thudding on the pavement like thunderclaps. I was kind of starting to suspect that the troll was sent from Zeus as an act of sweet revenge. Right. Right now I need a miracle. I couldn't see the sea anywhere... Oh my Gods, where was Annabeth when I needed her? I sprinted as fast as my legs would go. My being a demigod was the only thing which kept my stamina running. Otherwise, I would have been dead meat. I rounded another bend and looked around frantically. I saw a hole in the red-bricked wall. I had no time to think about why it was there. I ran forward and lunged into it, relieved that it was big enough for me. Very big, actually. Could have probaby fitted ten people. I held my breath as the troll stumbled into view through the black hole. He scratched his head, and looked around. Oh Gods... He was turning in this direction, his belly fat bouncing. I tried to shift around and blend in, but I knew I would be found.
"Hey Percy," Annabeth's beautiful voice came out of nowhere. I looked around and almost died of shock. There she was, beautiful as a goddess, kneeling beside him with a smile on her face.
"Annabeth? Who- what?" I spluttered.
Annabeth put a finger to her lips and reached for my wrist. She held it and looked at me. Even through the dim of the hole/cave/whatever-it-is, I could see her mesmerising gray eyes. I understood what we had to do. We needed to run for it. I just hoped Annabeth knew where to. Annabeth tugged me out with her and sprinted forward. The troll bellowed and fled after the duo. I pounded after Annabeth like a pack of dogs were after me. Annabeth was just as fast as I was, and that was really, really, fast. Camp Half-Blood had trained her well. Annabeth soon led me towards a grassy plain, and I groaned inwardly at the stormy, gray sky. Definitely Zeus playing tricks with me. Oh well. I could see a small white chariot in the distance. We raced the last few meters and hopped into the chariot where Travis and Connor were waiting for us, all smiles. They were just the same, with cunning and thieving looks. Annabeth closed the intricate chariot door and grabbed Travis's arm urgently.
"Now! Before he smashes the chariot!" Travis nodded with a lopsided grin. I closed my eyes as the chariot shot upwards.
"Annabeth! What in the world-" I muttered weakly.
"Don't worry, Zeus won't be able to attack the chariot. Plus, we'll fly low." Annabeth smiled her enchanting smile and tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. The owl earrings were still there. I prayed I would not wake up to Hades's face.
