I'm putting up the next chapter kinda quickly, but if I get to like the 5th chapter or something and there's no reviews I'll stop updating until there are a few. So once again please please please review!

I don't own Percy Jackson.

Chapter 2. We Meet an Ugly Puppy

Sapphire's POV

"Oh Crap," I muttered. I was just wishing that Lily isn't in too much trouble, but I kinda doubted that, being that she's such a klutz and because she just screamed bloody murder. I was about to call out to her that I was coming, but I don't want to alert anything nearby that I was there, trying to make a rescue if necessary. I unzipped the tent and stepped out and to my surprise, there was no water to be seen. No ocean, no stream, river, lake or anything. I'm just stumped. I checked my watch, and I had been sleeping for three hours. This just wasn't right.

Then another scream brought my attention back to where it needed to be. I decided to try the field to my right, that's where the scream sounded like it came from. I found myself thinking about a knife, dagger, sword or something because I didn't want to go in unarmed and sure enough I found an ice sword in my hand, not very cold, and just the right weight. I started in and found a path already made a few yards to my right. I started to follow it but then I thought that there isn't any cover so I started making my own path trying to follow the other path without being on it. Eventually I found the end of the path I didn't make and what I could see scared the crap out of me.

Lily's POV- 30 min. earlier.

"Why does she have to be right all the time?" I am so frustrated. I had slept two hours and now I was awake and not going back to sleep. How could she be right about all this stuff, I just wanted to make one decision on the way to wherever we were going and it's not working out. I just needed to get away for a while, I need to take a walk. There was a field close to where we're camped and it would be a nice safe field to just relax in. I think I can even see a farm from here. So, not thinking to be very quiet, I ventured off into the field.

As I;m walking, I noticed that it looked like it opened up into a clearing, so I decided to go out into. Let me tell you biggest mistake of my life so far. When I got out into the clearing I saw a creature so hideous that it was hard to describe. It was roughly the size of a horse and muscled, but it looked lean and agile as well. It had two dog heads and it's tail ended in a snake head. Right as I got into the field the creature turned and saw me. The snake hissed and I screamed as loud as I could. Partly in terror and partly to wake up Sapphire so she could either A come rescue me or B get the hell out of here and save herself.

It was quicker than I expected and as I started to run it was already in front of me. I 'm desperate right now so I'm not really thinking clearly and I started to run the other way, but once again it was right in front of me. I screamed again, unintentionally, but I did. I don't have anyway to get away, and being that I'm not quick on my feet I decided to do something that I do well, talk.

"What's your name," I asked as it reached up to hit me.

Apparently the question caught him off guard, because he stopped swinging and said, "Orthrus."

He looked shocked I asked him that and that was when an ice sword appeared in my hand and Sapphire leaped out of the bushed and lashed at the snake's head with her sword and the two heads snapped at me. Now it was more or less even, so we switched sides so Sapphire was facing the two heads and I was with the snake. I liked this a lot more because in the first few minutes a dog head was gone and so was the snake, I was surprised that it was still alive. When I finished off the snake I rolled under it and stabbed it where it's heart should be and I was almost out when it landed on my left arm.

I definitely heard a snap before I passed out. The next part I swear I was dreaming because I heard a horse neyh-ing and I saw a horse with wings, and I thought I could hear it in my head saying something like "Mistresses are you okay? Oh no look at them on the ground, are they passed out?"

That is the last thing I remember before I passed out.

Sapphire's POV

When I looked at the clearing I was filled with dread as the monster was about to strike her dead, she asked it a question, and as it responded I thought up a sword for her and I lunged at the snake head. Soon enough we switched sides and in a few minutes I had one head down, one to go. I just saw that Lily, my klutzy Lily, had managed to dismember the snake and was rolling under it but I took my eyes away too long and the dog head that was still attached broke my sword, and my leg,(don't ask me how I was too pissed to even look at it again) and I fell unconscious. The last thing I could hear was the small snap of my leg, or was that Lily, please not Lily, and the flap of wings. Oh ya and there was this new voice in my head just as I passed out, but I was past the point of listening and didn't understand a word it said.

Percy's POV

We were flying on pegasi, Annabeth and I were heading to the place Chiron said that two girls would be. We were almost there when we heard the fighting. The taller one was facing the two heads and the shorter one was facing the snake. What surprised me though was that they both held ice swords, that should freeze there hands and it should be melting and not as sturdy and it looks. Wow. Anyway it was going pretty well until the tall one collapsed and then the monster collapsed on top of the other one's arm. That's when we arrived. Annabeth and I looked at the monster as it shriveled to dust and then at the two girls. The taller one looked to be about 15 or 16, and the shorter one about 13 or 14. They were kinda old to be just discovering who they are, even if they are a minor god's daughters.

"Help me pick up this one Percy, her leg's broken, I can take her with me," said Annabeth, trying to move the taller one over to her winged horse.

"Alright, then help me get the other one, her arm's broken, and we need to hurry before something else comes to get us," I replied.

We eventually got the two girls on the horses without too much trouble and we were off. Lucky it only took us about 10 min. to get here, I thought, because these girls need some attention. Both had something broken, multiple scrapes and bruises, and were unconscious. It took us over double that time to get back to camp though because of the extra weight, but we got there within a half an hour. We landed in front of the big house and immediately the two girls were brought inside to be fixed up. There was nothing else we could do for them so we just said good night to each other and we went back to our cabins and went to bed.
