I don't have the book so go easy on me.

It's been chaos at camp the past week. Percy and a son of Hades named, Nico went somewhere. Annebeth and all the campers have been getting ready for Kronus and his army. I was walking towards the Mess Hall when Annebeth grabbed my arm and pulled me beside the pavilion.

"Percy's at the Empire State Building and I already have some vans with demigods heading for Manhattan. You coming? I'm about to go with Will, Kayla, Destiny, Eudaura, and Mark." she stated in a whisper.

"Yeah,.. let's go." I said in a sigh. We ran out the borders and hopped in the van. We reached the building and met up with Percy. I have never been to Olympus but I have heard about it. We crammed in the elevator and Percy pressed some strange button and the elevator shot up. I didn't feel like the speed was changing anything but, I could tell. We came to a stop and the elevator dinged and flew open. We walked out and everyone acted as if the weren't any clouds surrounding the sidewalk. When we reached the throne room and only saw a woman around a fire.

"Lady Hestia?" Percy asked.

"Yes." she said. They had a small conversation I wasn't really listening to. Out of completely nowhere Percy froze like a statue, like he was in some trance. A few seconds later his knees buckled and he would've hit the ground if Annebeth and I didn't catch him at the last second.

A guy with a staff and two metal snakes, like one of those signs on the side of an ambulance, walked in. Lady Hestia turned and walked out of the room.

"Hey, how about y'all go scout out Olympus. Me and Annebeth have to talk to Lord Hermes alone." Percy said. I waved everyone down a different corridor. I didn't know where I was going so I just explored. We eventually found a hybrid cow/fish thing. The campers sat and patted the animal.

"Chance!" I heard, what sounded like Annebeth's voice, yell. "Come on back." We all came back and I saw sadness upon Annebeth's face so I didn't ask what just happened between them and Hermes. We walked out the throne room and it felt like the whole atmosphere changed. For one, you could see all of Manhattan off the sides of Olympus. The clouds seem to disappear from the sides completely. I went to the edge and looked over and saw everything, But, all the cars stopped moving and people laid still on the sidewalks.

"We should get down there." Destiny said. She was a Demeter camper and was deadly powerful with plants. We have been hanging out a little bit. When we ran towards the elevator, her cocoa brown hair flew in the wind.

We gathered in a small park at the edge of a mountain. Mortals in their cars were still, and mortals on the ground were slowly breathing.

"They are all asleep. Morpheus has gone to Kronus's side and is putting all the mortal residents of Manhattan to sleep." Annebeth stated. I looked at the border of Manhattan and saw cars randomly turning around but, going in slow motion.

"What is going on over there?" I asked to no one specifically. Everyone turned and looked in the direction of the cars.

"Kronus must be combining powers with Hecate." Annebeth said bitterly. We left the building and Percy divided the campers into groups to gaurd the bridges and tunnels.

"Percy, there is nobody at Lincoln Tunnel." I told him.

"Man, you're right." he said.

"We'll handle it." said a person behind Percy. He turned and I saw who it was. A girl that looked about 15 or 16. She had on a silver outfit, just like all the girls that were behind her. some as young as 10 or 11.

"Thalia." Percy and Annebeth said in unison. I got introduced to Thalia and it turns out the is the lieutenant of my mom's hunters.

"Where are we going to stay? I'm sure this battle will last longer than this evening." a hunter asked. Everyone fell silent.

"I go." I said hesitantly. Annebeth looked back at me as if saying: Are you sure? I nodded back at her.

"Well if we have everything sorted out, let's go." Percy said, and everyone departed.

I walked around a few streets until I found a hotel at the southeast corner of Central Park. I walked in and the guy at the front desk was asleep in a rolling chair. I went up and found a giant penthouse. I went out onto the balcony and looked out towards the bridge that led into Brooklyn. I saw what was happening. Our side was driving Kronus' forces back into Brooklyn. Apollo campers were shooting volleys of arrows, while Percy was destroying every monster in his path. The enemy started to retreat and go to their reinforcements on the other side of the bridge. When the got to their reinforcements, a round of thirty or forty enemy demigods on skeletal horses rode across the bridge toward Manhattan. The Apollo campers tried to retreat while Annebeth and Percy stood side by side fighting the demigods. Pegasi were diving and kicking enemy demigods in the head, making them fall to the ground. A demigod sneaked up behind Percy and was about to stab him when Annebeth took the blow and cried in pain while falling to the ground. Percy turned and saw her.

I had to do something. I had to get to the bridge quick, like on a horse or a... deer. The moment I thought it a huge buck materialized on the terrace, next to me in a flash of silver light. I hopped on it's back and it jumped off the terrace.
