Let's hope Percy and Annabeth survive!
Disclaimer: I do not own PJO
Annabeth's POV
Percy is in front of me ready to fend off the creatures. The truth is plain and simple.
I, Annabeth Chase, am scared.
Frightened. Freaked out. Terrifed.
Scared.
We're completely defenseless and no one can hear us from up here even if we screamed.
I guess this is it.
The monsters leer closer and closer and I see that their faces are warty and disfigured. They grin crookedly and suddenly tear the net. We're exposed.
Then I realize something.
Doesn't Percy's pen return to his pocket after a few minutes? If we can stay alive long enough for it to come back . . .
I tap Percy's pocket and he looks down a questionable look on his face. I mimic swinging a sword and realization dawns on his face.
We now have a goal. We might just survive this. After all this only the thousandth monster we've killed.
My hopes are dashed when each of them pull out a shining spear and hold it above us.
So much for that plan. Suddenly Percy grabs my hand and runs. Oh wow. Sometimes for a daughter of Athena I can be pretty dumb.
Sullenly, I realize that the balcony is small and there's hardly any room for us to go. Percy's expression is fearful as the distorted figures run toward us, moving swiftly.
An idea sprouts in my mind and I rip a long piece of silk from my dress. Percy catches on. We tie the makeshift rope to the balcony. I jump on first while Percy holds onto it. The men are above Percy now and he quickly jumps over the balcony grabbing onto one of the bars.
I slide the silk sideways and it carries me across the tilt in the balcony. Percy's just ahead of me. His eyes brighten and I'm sure Riptide is now in his pocket. He springs up onto the balcony and quickly cuts off the main assasin's head. He evaporates into yellow dust. I pull myself up also and grab my bronze knife from the floor joining in the fight.
Within a few minutes all of the monsters are killed. Their species is extinct once and for all.
Oh yeah! Beat that yah ugly goons! Let's see what happens when the gods and the rest of the demigods find out what has happened!
