Annabeth
"Hey. HEY! Fish face!" Who else, but the one and only Perseus Jackson could utter something so stupid at a moment like this? Annabeth saw her chance. Whether intentional or not, Percy had created a diversion. The monster saw him as its only target.
Instead of trying to get close, Annabeth threw her dagger straight at the monster's eye. Howling in pain, it flailed around, blinded. Annabeth ran at the Cetus. She climbed on the edge of the deck, and jumped. She closed her eyes, praying for safe landing. Wait. She was trying to land on a monster, and that alone wasn't safe. Annabeth instead just prayed for a landing. She assumed her prayers were answered when her entire body smashed into something hard and stiff.
"Ow." She mumbled under her breath.
"Look out!" Annabeth turned around at the sound of Piper's voice, and ducked, throwing up her left hand to catch the sword whizzing through the air.
"Thanks!" She called, throwing it back. She turned her full attention back to the Cetus. She moved slowly forward, inches at a time, until she reached its head. It was still struggling to buck her off, and somehow get the dagger out of its eye. Percy was still managing a distraction, and the shield of water, but he looked tired enough to give out any minute. Jason was hanging on to the edge of the deck, and Piper was attempting to help him over. Hazel held a broken spear, and Frank was firing arrows at the monster with his crossbow. Not that it would do any good, but it served as a distraction.
Annabeth put a hand on the monster's face, groping for her dagger. Finding the hilt, she yanked it out of its eye. The monster roared in outrage, and reared backward. Annabeth got a firm hold on one of its scales, and held on for dear life. She grabbed her dagger and stabbed the monster in the neck. Just as it dissipated into golden dust, a tentacle swung around behind her, and she looked back in time to feel it hit her in the back.
