ANNABETH POV.
I stopped in my tracks, realising how stupid we were being. "Guys, there is nothing there."
Nico paused and shook his head. "I sensed it. It was undead!"
"Well, what did it want from us?" Percy asked him, joining our conversation.
Nico glared at him. "I'm not a mind reader!"
"You should be." Grover muttered.
"I don't know about you guys, but I have to go. Later!" Thalia ran off.
I waved, then turned back. "Whatever. I'm going back to the sword arena. Any who is not chicken, can come with me."
There was a long silence.
"OK, see you!" The three boys jogged off.
I snorted and walked back. "Men."
When I reached the arena, it felt strange. No one was there. Maybe we were being watched. I blinked when I thought I saw something black swoop in front of me. OK, kind of weird...
Maybe I should leave. I spun around on my heel. Oh, come on, Annabeth! Are you chicken or what? A voice said inside of my head.
"No." I grumbled, taking out my knife and attacking a dummy. Thats when I was proved wrong. My knife was thrown across the arena by something invisible, and pushed me to the ground. I screamed as the invisible person knocked me out cold. All I could remember was being dragged away.
NICO POV.
Annabeth screamed and there was a loud thud. Percy sprinted back to the sword arena, shouting her name as he went. I ran after him followed by more campers. The son of Poseidon barged through, and froze.
"Percy!" Thalia shouted and jogged up next to him with me. I looked around the empty arena and gaped. I noticed a splatter of blood on the ground with broken glass.
"Percy," Katie Gardner gasped as he stepped through slowly. "I'm sorry."
He turned around angrily. "Where is she!" He yelled, kicking at the glass.
"Percy!" Chiron galloped through and put his hand on his shoulder. "Lets discuss this in a meeting, shall we? I fear we might be in alot more danger than I thought."
