Percy Jackson and the house of Hades fanfiction
PERCY
Percy immediately felt guilty. He thought he'd upset Annabeth so he went over to her and put the arm that wasn't hurting so much round her shoulders. " Sorry wise girl. I didn't mean it" Annabeth looked up, dried her eyes looking very confused and then said "Oh. No Percy it's not that. I'm just wondering how we're going to get through this."Annabeth lowered her head again but then Percy said,"I'll tell you how wise girl. Together."Anabeth looked as if she was about to say something but she was interrupted by a horrible growl…
ANABETH
Annabeth jumped to her feet. She had been feeling so sorry for herself she had almost forgotten where they were. She looked over to Percy who was pulling a very odd face. She almost asked what was wrong but then she realized that he had instinctively reached to his pocket to retrieve his pen but had fallen on his sword arm when they hit the ground. Out of the darkness emerged a huge and familiar looking monster. It had the body of a lion, the head of a middle aged human man with two different colored eyes and a tail that looked a bit like that of a scorpion. A Manticore. Annabeth still couldn't place where she had seen it until Percy muttered something,"Doctor Thorn?" Of course. When they where fourteen they had gone to a military school called Westover Hall to answer their friend Grover's distress call and to bring some new demigods to camp but it had all gone wrong when they had run into Dr Thorn. Annabeth put her hand to her belt but then remembered that she had lost the bronze knife she had had since she seven. So just to recap, they were fighting a giant beast that could throw poison spikes with one weapon, a half-broken ankle and a fully broken arm. Brilliant!
