Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know how glad I am you have continued to chapter 4! :D This is where things start to overlap. Chapter 4 goes back in time from the end of Chapter 3 to see what Hazel was doing while Percy fought the Giant...

I do not own POJ nor its characters or plot line


Hazel's POV

I couldn`t leave him alone! I had to help hi-

"NOW" Percy screamed.

I was pushed from behind and went stumbling forwards. Quickly I caught my balance and started to run down the
mountain.

No time to come up with something else.

The ground was uneven and I stumbled over rocks. I tripped a couple of times but kept running. I heard what sounded
like Percy and then the distinct sound of metal on metal.

Run. Got to keep running. No looking back. Running, running running. No matter how much I hated it.

The monsters that had fallen in front of me because of Percy`s hurricane explosion were still down. I was not that far away. And then I would be home free. Without Percy. Stop that I chided, he will be coming too. But I couldn`t convince myself.

Yet I kept running.

I was almost at the first monsters.

A telekines stirred. Faster Hazel! I told myself. There is no way you're wasting Percy`s sacrifice only to get caught by monsters.

I came up to the line of monsters and I almost got away. As I jumped over a dracanae's sword I tripped and fell flat on my face. I got up, only to see that said dracanae's sword was now being held upright. I looked left and then right. Monsters were stirring; no hope that way. And backwards just led to an even meaner giant. My only escape was to continue down the mountain, but that path was blocked. I held up my Spartacus.

The Dracanae's hissed. "Ssssssstupid demigod. You will never losssssssse to me."

"Oh yeah." I said, trying to sound braver than I was. "Let's give you the chance to eat your words."

We fought, Spartacus to sword. I saw her arm move up so I stabbed in the direction of her unguarded torso and managed to hit a chink in her armour. Luck, lucky, lucky shot I thought. She went out with a poof.

I turned to run, only to realise that my short battle had taken too long. Angry monsters formed a circle around me. Sneering and laughing they armed themselves. Clearly the whole staying stunned meant as much to them as staying dead did.

Spears, swords and all other kinds of weapons were pointed in my direction. Percy had gotten me out of one mess, and I had just gotten myself into another. I raised my Spartacus and the monsters advanced. Right before they reached me a groan sounded.

Some of the monsters turned to look over their shoulders. I took the opportunity and quickly killed the ones closest to me.

Seeing their comrades disappear brought the other's attention to me again. Swords and spears met my Spartacus as another groan sounded out.

The earth shook.

I tried to fight off the monsters but it was hopeless, I couldn`t even stand straight. Looking down at my feet I tried to keep my balance.

But around me monsters were stumbling too. They looked panicked. Abandoning their weapons they ran down the mountainside. I fell to my hands and knees. I couldn`t hear anything above the rumbling sounds coming from deep within the mountain.

Monsters continued to stumble past me as I tried to see where the sound was coming from. Whatever was happening wasn`t on their agenda. If what was happening scared monsters, I thought it had to be bad.

I half stumbled and half crawled frantically away, dodging escaping monsters. Something knocked into me from behind and I went tumbling head over heels. My head smacked against a rock and I stopped moving forwards; but the earth shook and shook. Lying on the ground I felt like a rag doll in a washing machine. Just as the world went black, I had time for one last thought.

I don`t want to die again.


So what did you guys think? The next few chapters will be like this so stay tuned.

I have a lot of homework right now :( so I do not know when the next chapter will be. But when You review my story or add it to your story alert I get the message: hurry up people are waiting!

So if you want me to write faster you know what to do.
