CHAPTER 7: TASK 2
Thank you to all the people who will one day (in the distant future) give me reviews. I've apologised for the atrocious first chapter, but I'm actually think IT WAS ALL FOR THE BEST as they were all short anyway apart from chap 2.

Annabeth POV
Task 2 was near impossible. We were forced to fight a giant snake of Hermes, whose filthy fangs dripped with radioactive-green venom that sizzled and burnt a small hole when it hit the ground. Also, as a lucky bonus, whenever you looked into it's yellow, reptilian eyes with their horrible slitted pupils, you fell in love. (we discovered this when Tyson tried to psych him out by staring into his eyes, then tried to propose with the aid of a convenient hula-hoop) And, as the extra jewel in the crown, volleys of blazing gold and silver arrows burst from two small crevices in the wall,(1 on each side of the wall) and swerved to hit you. Bronze shields up!
We defeated that task by jamming our shields into the shield holes, which stopped the arrows, which was nice. We then viewed the snake using the reflection on our shiny bronze shields. We then blinded the snake, eliminating it's love-spell, then Tyson stop quoting Shakespeare and joined. Then Beulah's hologram appeared and spoke to the snake in a strange, rough, hissing voice that rasped like sandpaper, (Parseltongue, the Harry Potter books) while we crept up behind it and chopped it's big ugly head off.
The hologram did a mock salute, then dissipated into smoky blue mist, to which Tyson declared "I wanna do that! Do you know any evening classes that do that, brother?".
