"We have to get out-"
Just then the door to the class room exploded and young snarling telekhines came pouring out. They stumbled over each other with their deformed sea creature bodies, trying to figure out which way to charge.
"Put your cap back on," Percy said. "Get out!"
"What?" I shrieked. What was he thinking? "No! I'm not leaving you."
"I've got a plan. I'll distract them. You can use the metal spider-maybe it'll lead you back to Hephasteus. You have to tell him what's going on."
"But you'll be killed!" I told him, shaking in fear just thinking about it.
"I'll be fine! Besides, we've got no choice."
I glared at him like I wanted to punch him. I grabbed his shirt, pulled him closer to me until our lips touched. I kissed him. I felt like my brain was melting even though it lasted less than a few seconds.
"Be careful, Seaweed Brain." I put my Yankees hat on and vanished off in the direction we had come. "He always ruins everything," I muttered too low for anyone to hear. I had a scary feeling that I wouldn't see Percy for a long time.
