FINAL/Alternate End

I have decided that I, based on your fabulous reviews and the thoughts going on inside this crazy head of mine, I will write this final chapter. It is action and such, so be happy all of you bloody guts lovers!

Love you all dearly, Bree

That morning, the sun filtered through the sheer blue curtains, letting in the sunrise. Annabeth woke first and stared outside the window in awe. No, it was not the marvelous gift from nature that surprised her, but the giant waves that crashed onto the beach below their hotel. A thick green and brown snake tail flicked up saltwater into the pink and orange sky. Out it sprang, the speckled and fierce human face of the immortal demon that was annoying all of California thoroughly. Echidna.

"Seaweed Brain! WAKE UP!" She threw an all too fluffy pillow at his all too fluffy head.

"Jeez, five more minutes mom.." He mumbled to his mattress and flipped over.

"We don't have time for this Percy! Get your ass up, we have human kind to save!"

"Like I don't hear that everyday.." Percy got out from under the sheets and walked over, lazily I might add, to the window where Annabeth was nearly having a coronary.

There were citizens milling about in havoc. Girls in bikinis were holding their face in their all to pretty hands while screaming bloody murder. Grown men were pushing aside woman and children to make a clean getaway. The air was almost always dry, but today seemed to be thicker than that of a swamp; as if they had to exert all of their energy just to take one breath. It might have been easier to die where you were standing.

"Lets go Wisegirl." He grabbed her hand and they were out the door before they could change out of pajamas. They ran out of the lobby and across the road to the beach right on the opposite side of it. From there, they could hear the paralyzing shriek of the monster, closer than they had thought from them.

She crawled out of the water, her pale human bust pale was glittering. Long nails protruded from her hands, long and spindly and most likely good for playing the piano. Her face was extremely beautiful, framed with dripping black hair that went to her waist. From there, it was a green serpent body, with sharp scales like thorns. Echidna opened her mouth to show pearly white teeth, similar to those of a werewolf's.

"Perseus Jackson, we finally meet brother." She smiled, sickening as it to an outsider.

"I'm not your brother, you're not human and I have to kill you now, understand?"

"Ah," She hissed. "I tried to be agreeable, I really did." She glanced over at Annabeth. "But you just couldn't listen could you?"

Echidna picked Annabeth up in one swift movement, holding her in one hand. "Is this my new sister in-law? How adorable! Her head would look absolutely gorgeous in my kitchen.."

"You let go of her you ugly seaweed colored potato!" Percy shouted out, pulling Riptide from his pant pocket.

"Oh! So cruel for family! I'll just have to tell daddy, you can get GROUNDED!"

Annabeth struggled in the monsters' grasp, feeling more helpless than ever. Why did she have to be the damsel in distress? Couldn't PERCY be that for once! She looked down at him. He had found a giant length of rope while the monster was talking on and on about family and such. Boy could she talk! While doing so, she looked up at the sky as if she were trying to speak to Zeus at the same time as them.

Percy had already wrapped the rope around her heels and tied them to the dock a few feet away. It was then that Annabeth noticed Echidnas hand had loosened around her. She ran all up her arm, holding her black hair as she climbed up on her head.

It was much like a bull ride, while Percy stabbed at her feet to make her more unbalanced. The monster took one fatal step forward and fell backwards into the sea.

Huge waves hit the shore and he ran straight into them. Echidna seemed unconscious and right as Percy was about to dig Riptide into her breast, she swung her arm and picked him up above her. The knife dropped onto her body but didn't leave a scratch. Annabeth scowled, and although she was still trying to catch her breath, she felt a horrible anger towards this monster in particular. She swam quietly and quickly towards them, climbed up onto Echidna, picked up Riptide and smashed the sharp silver blade directly into her heart. She let out a horrible shriek, worse than the other before it.

Blood ran out of her into the saltwater like eels that had been forced onto land for a century. Her mouth opened and she crowed out one last sentence, "I'll earn my revenge."

The lifeless body sank into the water, never to see light again. Perhaps she would make a good meal for a shark.

"Annabeth!" Percy yelled as he swam to her at top speed. "Are you alright?"

She rolled her eyes as he finally reached her, "What do YOU think Seaweed Brain?"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry! I should have don't better than that, I could have easily killed her the first time, I let her—." Annabeth knew that he would have kept babbling on for hours and hours.

"Are you kidding? I mean to say that I feel AMAZING! That was awesome! I get so tired of YOU always killing things."

"Wise Girl, you make no sense." Percy smiled as they reached the beach.

"You do look a little like your sister by the way.."

"Shut up."

Annabeth laughed, "Fine, fine, but just this once."

"Twice?" He pushed her.

She threw some sand at him, "Nope."

They had no idea how the world would react to the thought of Grecian monsters that were supposedly make believe, but hey, could it be that difficult to understand?
