Peeta POV
I woke up to the sound of stomping. I thought it was just a mountain lion or something and that it would eventually pass. So I went back to sleep. But before I went to sleep, I checked my watch to what time it was. 3:45. I yawned and fell back into peaceful sleep.
I woke up what seemed to be five minutes after I went back to sleep. But I checked my watch anyway. It read 9:00. So I yawned and stretched out. I then went out of my sleeping bag only to find that it was like 20 degrees. I quickly scampered back into my sleeping bag. Not wanting to get out of my sleeping bag again, I stuck an arm out of my bag and got my clothes. I put them on inside my sleeping bag. They were stiff and cold against my warm skin. That woke me up almost instantly. I looked around the tent for Annabeth but she wasn't there. I also didn't see her bag. She must be outside with all the other, I thought, getting out of my sleeping bag, grabbing my bag and heading outside. There they were, huddled around a small fire, trying to keep warm. I sat down next to them, when I heard a growling sound. Percy shot to his feet, a sword suddenly in his hand.
"Hydra!" he yells. I didn't have time to ask him what a hydra was because just then a five headed thing came out of the forest. I couldn't tell you what he looked like, because I was hiding behind a tree, grabbing my two knives out my bag. When I get them I lunge at the monster slicing one of its heads off. I felt proud of myself until it started to grow two more heads.
"What the f-?" I was cut short. Percy pushed me to the side to avoid getting an acid bath.
"Look, to kill a hydra you need to burn the stub of the neck to prevent new heads from growing," he said.
"After this is over, I want some answers."
"Deal."
Long story short, we find a combustible stick, we put fir at the end of it, and wherever I slice off one of its heads, Percy is there ready to burn the neck. While we did this we had to avoid spitting acid, fire, and about everything else you can think of. But finally we got the job done. We were gasping, and the girls seemed to be unharmed, still sitting at the fire as if nothing happened. I turned back to Percy.
"I want answers now," I demand.
I would like to thank Glato Everlark for the idea of the hydra. Expect chapter5to come out soon! Until then, R&R! :)
