The House of Hades (Fan-fiction)

Annabeth

If it weren't for Percy cursing in Greek at the top of his lungs, Annabeth Chase wouldn't have woken up.

They were plummeting towards the ground, in reversed positions. Annabeth mentally apologized for probably breaking Percy's eardrums but there was no time. She closed her eyes and braced herself for what was about to happen. The blonde haired girl sent one last prayer to the gods before they hit.

But, they didn't

Instead of crashing down onto the ground, the two demigods were suspended in the air. Just about 5-ft from the cracked concrete. Percy and Annabeth exchanged confused glances but didn't speak. They weren't floating... it was more like falling onto a invisible trampoline. Minus the bouncing.

Some sort of magic force was holding them up.

Evil? Good?

They didn't know.

Suddenly, Annabeth felt drowsy and a familiar voice projected itself into her head. She wasn't sure if Percy had heard it too.

"Ah, young half-bloods. I see that you've come to awaken me. To spill your blood for my awakening. You, son of the sea god, are just another precious pawn in my plan. As for you, daughter of Athena, ah... well Arachne wants her revenge. As do all those other monsters that you've fought with the boy over the years. Therefore, I will spare you. For now. My minions can't get their revenge if you're already dead can they?"

The voice laughed as it faded. It left a evil chill behind. As expected.

"Gaea."

Just as Annabeth spoke her name, the invisible trampoline burst and she and Percy face-planted on the ground.

"Ghnhnnnn.."

It was Percy, groaning in pain. He lifted his head up. His nose was bleeding probably broken but other than a few scrapes, he was fine. Annabeth on the otherhand... her flaming ankle was the equivalent to Leo's fire. The pain was unbearable but Annabeth willed herself to stay put. Percy was the first to speak up after wiping the blood and attempting to shift his nose back into place. That troublemaker.

"Well? Bring it on, uglies."

Annabeth couldn't help breaking into a smile. She was alive and with the love of her life, Seaweed-Brain. Sadly, Percy spoke too soon. Moments after, a horrifying long figure appeared in the shadows.

A head of a woman, vipers replaced the hair.

"A-Auntie Em?!" Percy stammered nasally and nervously.

The daughter of Athena rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and looked closer.

A human upper-half of the body... and a dragon with reptilian scaly skin for the lower half. Black and white stripes trailed down it's back. The creature had wings, a barbed tail, enormous claws, viper legs and the most disturbing of it all,

A gruesome, monstrous belt of which mutated animal heads hung from. Constantly changing shape.

"Holy Hephaestus." Percy and Annabeth said in unision.

They stared in horror at the beast that they had once fought 3 years in the past. They had met her in the Labyrinth... Alcatraz, guarding a Hekatonkheire.

Kampe.

" No fair! We already killed you!"

Annabeth shot Percy a glare and picked up her dagger that just happened to be lying on the concrete. Percy got out his sword, Riptide which had returned back to pen form while on the invisible trampoline.

Kampe was deadly. She didn't have any of her scrimitars since they were in the Camp Half-Blood attic but she was still deadly. Even bare.

She grinned wickedly and lunged at them. Percy held Annabeth on his back and dashed away from the dragon lady. Rocks were crumbling from the ceiling as the monster chased them through tunnels and tunnels. Kampe stuck her face out at Annabeth who slashed her with the celestial bronze dagger. Kampe staggered backwards and roared in rage before starting the chase all over again. Willing to fight, Annabeth hopped off of Percy's back and slashed at the lower dragon part of the body. Golden ichor oozed out of the wound before closing.

"You know what, Kampe?!" Percy shouted, concealing fear.

Kampe moved closer.

"You look even uglier than Medusa!"

Kampe screamed with rage and swung herself at Percy. She didn't know that she had an awaiting celestial bronze sword waiting for her.

Skshhhhhhhhh!

Kampe disintegrated, but it wasn't long until she reformed. Annabeth and Percy used that time to escape and find a hideout. They ran... well Percy ran with Annabeth on his back and they hid behind a rock with remnants of celestial bronze bars.

" Oh my gods, that was terrifying."

" Think about the others we'll have to get through. Kampe was only the beginning."

"But we'll make it out and save the world. Right, Seaweed-Brain?"

"Absolutely, Wise-girl."

And with that, the two huddled into the corner and rested.
