Book chapter #3

*previously *

"Nico, Thalia, please tell me that you cant feel the presence of monsters currently" Annabeth asked somewhat hoping that she was just imagining the strange feeling that she allways got before something bad happened.

-currently-

(3rd person P.O.V)

Nico looked uneasy. "ill check it out" he said shadow traveling around the school. After a minute passed he reappeared " 3 hell hounds, 2 emposai, 6 kelpies, an ice lastrogiant and the minotar" he stated, when he finished telling the girls, then came the monsters. The minotar and the lastrogiant were nowhere to be seen, but the hell hounds, emposai and kelpies where already making there way to the stage.

The mortals were screening and the teachers were saying " they wont harm mortals, just stay calm and let the demigods handle it".

(Thalia POV)

The mortals teachers were yelling " they wont harm mortals, just stay calm and let the demigods handle it".

'what a load of wusses' I thought whilst electrocuting a hellhound and two kelpies, who had gotten a little too close to skewering Nico with spears and teeth.

I turned around to find another monster, when I saw a lastrogiant coming towards Annabeth, who was fighting off 4 kkelpies

"Now would be a good time to help kelphead" I heard Nico yell before I attacked another hellhound with my bow and arrows.

-character swap-

(Nico POV)

I was attacking a hellhound that was trying to bite my face off, when a few kelpies tried to make a Nico-kebab,

Thats when Thalia used her lightning powers on them.'to close' I thought to myself.

I turned and saw Thalia staring at something, I looked in the same direction and saw a 15 meter tall lastrogiant lumbering towards Annabeth. 'Percy's not going to like that' I thought smiling.

"Now would be a good time to help kelphead" I yelled as I went to help Thalia kill a hellhound.

-character change-

(Annabeth POV)

I stab the last kelpie with my dagger, when I hear Nico yell "Now would be a good time to help kelphead". I turn around and see a lastrogiant running straight towards me, ' judging from the length of the trees and the size and angle of his shadow in the light of the sun, he must be roughly, 14.32 metres tall.' I think to

myself.

Thats when I see very confused mortals and a veeeeeeerrrrrrrry angry Percy. "Thats my seaweed brain" I say so only I can hear.

-Line break character swap-

(Percy POV)

I was having a internal war with myself, wondering if I should help or not.

My friends were right next to me and were both scared and exited. But I was just scared for my wise girl. I decided to go and help when I hear Nico yell "Now would be a good time to help kelphead" I move my head towards what he is looking at and see a 15 meter tall lastrogiant speeding towards annabeth. Thats when I snap and go all 'overprotective boyfriend' as Annabeth puts it.

I start running and hear students yelling at me to 'stay out of it ' and that 'it isn't safe or normal people' and that I should 'leave it to the demigods'. I quickly turn around and yell as loud as I can (wich is fairly loud), " I am the son of Poseidon" whilst taking out and uncapping Riptide.

The look on everyone's faces are a mixture of shock, fear and confusion. I smirk turn around and run towards the lastrogiant.

-(3rd person P.O.V)-

once Percy reaches the lastrogiant he doesnt hold back. He yells insults, calling him "an overgrown bogan out of a trailer park" and yelling "no one touches my wise girl".

He slashes, stabs, kicks and somehow manages to look graceful in the processor dodging ice blasts. After thirty seconds he gets Thalia to give him a boost with her hands, and he uses the momentum to launch himself onto the monsters chest. He lands with his sword implanted in the beasts flesh and drags the sword down as he fell 11 metres, until the monster exploded in an icy blue swirl of dust and went back to Tartarus.

He ran to Annabeth after making sure that Thalia

And Nico were all right.

"Did it hurt you? Are you bleeding? Do you need nectar or ambrosia? Do you feel dizzy? Can you stand up? How many fingers am I holding up?" Percy said waving three fingers in front of Annabeth's face. Annabeth replied with "I'm fine seaweed brain. But are you alright that lastrogiant was bigger than usual" with general concern for her seaweed brain of a boyfriend.

"I dont matter" he says quickly. "are you sure you dont have any injuries?" he once again asks. I ignore the last question and smack him over the head...HARD! "Dont you ever say that you dont matter again!" I yell louder then the sirens [wich if you dont know.. Is verry loud].

"Annabeth" he says sternly. She sighs and replies with an exasperated whine "I'm fine. But lay off a little, your smothering me with concern and paranoia of injuries". "Fine" Percy says defeated, "but that wont stop me from protecting you" he mumbled to himself before I pulled him into a kiss to make him shut the f**k up.

Its only when they pulled back that they hear, yelling/mumbling/whispering all around them. They turn to see what all the noise is about, when they see Thalia and Nico desperately trying to get the large group of mortals to settle down, with no avail. "This should be interesting" Percy thought out loud. Before walking to his mortal 'friends'
