Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed the Christmas Special! Percabeth engaged! Let me know if you guys want more holiday specials for when they come up. And let me know if you want me to do a Percabeth Wedding!

This is continuing from the chapter before the Christmas Special. Enjoy!

Annabeth POV

Percy is such a showoff. He takes any chance he can get to impress someone (including me). It's one of the many reasons why I love him. I have so many reasons that loosing him would tear me apart.

Stop! I tell myself. If I keep thinking like this, I'll think of that horrible dream. And I really didn't need that right now.

I turn to Sadie. "Do you have any weapons in the Duat, like your brother?" I ask. She's stunned.

"How do you know about the Duat?" I smile.

"Daughter of Athena, remember? I read whatever I can get my hands on. And I have read a few Egyptian books in my time." She nods.

"Well I don't really have a weapon, unless you Greeks call a staff that can turn into a lion a weapon." I shake my head. "I usually focus on magic, like Divine words. Here, I'll show you." She faces a skewered dummy. She holds out her hand "Hi-nehm!" A glowing hieroglyph appears above her hand. The dummy reconstructs. "And here's my personal favorite, Ha-di!" This time the dummy explodes. I step back and cover my face from shrapnel.

"Wow, just follow me to find a weapon that suites you." I guide her to the wall where we hold all types of swords, spears, daggers, anything you can think of.

"First, what would you think you'd like to have?" She thinks for a moment.

"What about that thing over there?" She points to a spear. I furrow my brows.

"Are you sure? It might be easier to start with a sword or something."

"No, it's about the same size as my staff, so I'll be the most comfortable with it." Ok, well I grab the spear and hand it to her. She swings it around, while I back up. Then she goes to another dummy and severs its head. She smiles. "Ooo, I like this one."

"I can't really teach you how to use this. I'm more of a . . . dagger girl." I bite back the memory of losing my dagger. I found another one like it, but not the same.

I spot Clarisse coming in with her cabin. Her specialty is spears. "I know someone who can, though. Clarisse!" I yell. She comes up to me.

"What do you want, Chase?" I show her Sadie.

"She needs to learn how to use a spear, can you show her?" She opens her mouth to protest, but a red sign from her Dad appears. Clarisse, do it. I smile. She grumbles, but takes Sadie into the arena.

Well, I think my work is done for now. I take my dagger and start to practice with this guy named Jack.

Percy POV

Wow, Carter's good. But I think I'm better. But he's a good opponent. He's wearing out my strength. I just need to back up a little more. There's a leak in the roof, and since we needed the rain for our strawberries, we let rain come in. So there's a puddle of water about five feet behind me.

I start to slowly back up. Four feet. Three. Almost. There. Two feet. One! My shoes touch the puddle and strength rushes through me. I start fighting harder. Better.

I eventually start to get him to back up. But then I realize somethings wrong.

His eyes. One's gold and the other's silver. What the heck?

He starts to fight harder. Faster. Stronger. He has an expression of fury on his face.

The next thing I realize is that I'm on the ground. Carter's pinning me. His sword thing is at my throat. What is going on?! I look around for help, everybody's busy practicing.

"How dare you, Greek!" Carter's voice is different too. Almost like he's possessed. I look for Sadie. I spot her, and all the sudden, she snaps her head this way.

"Sadie! Help!" I yell. She can help, he's her brother after all.

"Carter!" She screams. She dives on top of him. He struggles. "Carter! Stop!" Nothing's happening. "Horus! I swear I will murder you! How dare you take control of my brother?!"

Carter's eyes switch back and forth between gold and the silver to his. "It's. . . not . . . him." He gasps. "Someone . . . something . . . controlling . . . him . . . controlling . . . us." What does that mean? He starts to mumble in ancient Egyptian.

Sadie grabs something, touches Carter and yells, "Tas!" Ropes wrap around him.

Annabeth runs up to us. She places her hand in mine.

"What's happening?" she asks, looking at Carter.

"I have no idea. I think Carter's being controlled by someone." A crowd has gathered.

Chiron gallops in. He kneels next to Carter and places a hand on Carter's forehead.

"ίασις," He says. It sounds like ee-ah-sees. It means "heal" in ancient says another word that sounds like nous, mind. Together he said, "Heal mind."

Carter's eyes go normal, and he stops muttering. The ropes around him loosen and comes off.

Chiron faces the crowd. "Go back to your schedules, everyone! As for you four, come with me.

Dun, dun, dun! I'm so mean, but I'll update soon. What do you think is going on with Carter? Is the woman in Annabeth's dream related to this? What do you think Chiron will do? Will they fix Carter? You'll see. Submit any ideas!
