"James, wake up! It's time for sword practice!" Jennie urged, shaking James.

"Go away…" James moaned, turning the other way. Jennie got her alarm clock and set it up. Thirty seconds later, it started ringing very loudly.

"Fine, I'll get up!" James yelled over the ringing. James hopped out of bed and put on his clothes. He took his daggers and went out the door with Jennie behind him. When they got to the battle arena, they saw that Percy and Clarisse were having a duel. Their swords clanged against each other. Then, Percy knocked Clarisse's sword out of her hand and put his sword at her chin.

"Surrender, Clarisse?" Percy asked. Clarisse knocked the sword away and stormed off. Chiron came over and asked, "Anybody else want to fight Percy?" James was about to stand up but before him, stood a girl that James didn't expect to fight Percy. It was Grace.

"I'll give it a try," Grace answered.

"Grace, you trained a little bit. Are you sure?" Chiron asked. Grace nodded and grabbed her sword. She slightly limped while walking.

"Fight!" Chiron shouted. Percy slashed at Grace but she dodged it and tried to stab him. Percy hit her sword with so much force that her sword flew out of her hands. Percy placed his sword on her shoulder.

"Surrender?" Percy asked. Grace shook her head and swatted Percy's sword away. She kicked him in the stomach and took out her dagger. This time, Grace pointed her weapon at Percy's neck. Everyone gasped. Nobody thought Grace would defeat Percy.

"Surrender?" She asked with a smile.

"Yeah…" Percy muttered, putting his sword down. Then, all of a sudden, above Grace's head was an owl; the sign of Athena. Everyone stared at the owl. Grace looked puzzled.

"Why are you all staring at me?" she asked.

"She is chosen," Chiron said. "Athena cabin, take her to your cabin. Also, cabin leaders; meet me at the Big House." Chiron galloped away with the leaders behind him. When everyone was seated, Chiron said, "Peleus is injured. We need to guard him now. One of you will guard for the whole day and the next and so on."

"How did he get hurt?" Annabeth asked.

"We think a monster attacked him," Chiron answered.

"But monsters can't get through the borders," Annabeth said. Chiron thought for a moment.

"Well then, maybe a demi–god got through the borders and attacked him," Chiron replied. "Anyway, who wants to guard first?"

"I'll do it," Percy answered.

"Good, now everyone, get some go to your cabins and get some rest," Chiron ordered.

"I already had "rest"," James muttered. He walked out the door and back to his cabin. He hopped onto his bed and fell asleep. But he had a nightmare: One day, he woke up and noticed that no one was in his cabin except a couple of his half-brothers and sisters. He went to all the cabins and noticed that almost all the campers disappeared. Then, he saw a thousand monsters inside the border, attacking everything in sight.
