I am so sorry for not getting off my lazy butt and updating for you guys but first can I just say thank you! All the support you guys are giving me makes me feel so good. 137 follows, 99favs (I'm hoping it'll be 100 by the time I update), and 78 reviews.

I just deleted the 2 AN chapters because I no longer think them necessary that dropped my story by about 100 views though so before I had 15,600+ views now I have 14,600+ which is still amazing.

Anyways thank you for all the support and reviews.

I'm sorry for the terrible grammar in previous chapters I just edited finished editing chapter 9 before working on this. If you guys know any betas, or are a beta willing to beta this story please tell me!

1 question would you rather me reply to every review in the chapter, PM each of you or just list your names like I did last chapter?

For this chapter I'm going to reply to every review (chapter 9) here.

Guest: Having Reyna there makes no sense because she got taken by Blackbeard in the sea of monsters and escaped so she couldn't be there at eleven

This is fanfiction, as in stories made by fans in this story she was never on Circe's island.

MiniHorseMeadow: Thos is an amazing story. Uodare soon please

Only someone who would spell 2/8 words in a review would like my story, seriously I have the worst spelling ever.

WhiteEagle1985: Awesome chapter here.

My favorite animals are cats - I mean there are the big cats like lions, cheetahs. leopards, tigers, etc. Very cool animals IMHO!

Thank you again for your review you've supported me since chapter 4 which is really awesome, I also think the cat family is pretty cool, and have you ever seen a new-born kitten? They're soo adorable.

Daughter of Olympus 2: Wolves for the win!

I like wolves I just wouldn't consider them my favorite.

candycrum: Hope they make it to the train

DamienMaxworth: Fat cats all the way!

Like I said I think the cat family is pretty cool.

Scarlett: My favorite animal are horses they r majestic and beautiful! Maybe if you try to name the weapons it would be easier to keep track...

Horses are beautiful, and please feel free to make suggestions for the name of the weapons preferably if they have interesting meanings in Greek or Latin.

Guest: My favorite animal is the wolf. Really good chapter

Thanks for the review, and like I said I like wolves toobut they aren't my favorite.

Guest: Loving the story please update more would be really great and please UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Sorry for not updating seriously I feel really really bad.

On to the story.

Reyna's POV (first non-Percy POV yay!)

I was still mad at Percy I mean he completely ignored me completely turned his back to me when that annoying monster Lamia came. I smirked remembering the feeling of sticking my dagger into her she totally deserved it.

We had just barely made it onto the train. We had ridden for about half an hour before Percy passed out he was next to me his head leaning against the window.

The train was going south-east to Los Angeles we'd have a brief stop there before heading north-east to Las Vegas. A total of 15 hours and 30 minutes. We'd reach Las Vegas at 4:00 Am. Percy said we'd rest there for a day he needed to run an errand for his father and then we'd be on our way to the Grand Canyon.

He looked oddly calm which was weird since I always saw him really jumpy. I smirked at him seeing the drool slowly coming out his mouth, most people would find it disgusting but I found it quite amusing and cute.

Reyna you're supposed to be mad at him you can't be thinking he's cute, I mentally chastised myself.

I looked over at Jason who seemed to be deep in thought he frowned out his window watching the city pass by. I wondered if he was mad at himself for being so distracted by Claire, I hoped not, she obviously had some kind of magical properties to make her more distracting to men. I mean it's not like I saw him or Percy acting that way around every pretty girl that passed.

I'd talk to him about it later for now I should sleep we had a long day ahead of us.

With one last glance at the black-haired teen next to me I fell into a comfortable sleep.

~9 hours later~

I woke up to the sound of whispering above me. Confused for a second why I wasn't in my bed at camp Jupiter I stiffened before relaxing, remembering the quest. However my stiffening seemed to make my pillow or should I say Percy's shoulder move. Luckily he hadn't noticed I was awake so he just glanced at me before turning back to Jason.

"What are we going to do when the train stops in LA they said we'll reach their in about 10 minutes." Jason whispered

"It's only a 30 minute stop so we'll just go and grab breakfast, then we should be on our way to Vegas."

"You never did tell me why we had to stop in Vegas you just said you had an errand to run for your dad"

"It's kinda private underworld business you know don't worry about it." Jason gave Percy a look clearly not believing it "Seriously it'll be fine a quick errand" Jason sighed still looking disbelieving but let it go. I frowned I wanted to know what Percy was stopping in Las Vegas for too

There was a peaceful silence for about 5 minutes when an announcement was made. "We will be reaching our destination of Los Angeles in 5 minutes, thank-you"

I knew they would "wake me" up soon but Percy's shoulder was very comfortable I didn't feel like getting up however I was pretty hungry and I didn't want to miss breakfast.

~Percy's POV~

Reyna let out a cute yawn taking herself off my shoulder which she had been sleeping on for most of the train ride here.

Stop Percy you're on a quest you can't let yourself get distracted there will be plenty of time for that later.

"Perfect timing, we're about to stop in Los Angeles we're just going to grab breakfast at a small cafe in the train station and head back it should take fifteen minutes tops." I said

"Hopefully nothing will attack us in between i mean so far on the train we've had nothing" Jason

"Jason you idiot, you just jinxed it" Reyna said smacking him on the back of the head.

Percy laughed, though knowing his luck it was probably true.

He wasn't surprised when half way back from the cafe shop he noticed 2 empousai watching him from a table nearby. Nor was he surprised by the 4 laistrygonian Giants that stood near the men's bathroom, however other than Lamia they were the strongest monsters the quest so far. "2 empousai at the table behind us, 2 more to our left outside the women's bathroom, and 4 laestrygonians on our right at the men's" i said as casually as possible so the monsters still thought they had the element of surprise.

Jason tensed ready to spring in to action, Reyna went into full alert one hand on her dagger, trying to look subtle while glancing at the monsters. We had to get the monsters somewhere humans weren't it was best to not have them interfering. Last time Lamia had done that for us, while making me think that i was leading the way subconsciously i had been following her. However these monsters weren't smart enough to think that humans might become a problem.

Quick think Percy think.

Where can i get to fast before the monster but still be able to make it back to the train in time.

Then it came to me "Follow me we have to get the monsters away from the humans"

I went to where the train was waiting the monsters followed like i suspected. Then I took a left back the way the train had came following the tracks. I pretended to glance back and notice the monsters before i broke into a full out run. Reyna and Jason just a few steps behind me. The monsters ran behind us, however the empousai couldn't run at full speed afraid to fight us without the laestrygonians at their side.

Once we were a good 200 meters away from the train station i slowed down moving away from the tracks. I proceeded to stop and turn around however the laestrygonians tried to barrel right into us while the empousai being the smarter of the two stood at a distance readying there bows. Jason brought out his spear (the other side of the coin), Reyna brought both her daggers out. I knew however they wouldn't be able to stand against the laestrygonians without proper gear, "You guys get rid off the empousai i'll hold out against the laestrygonians till you get back" I said. They nodded rushing off to the empousai I twisted my key my armor forming pulling out my sword and shield.

I braced myself for the hit as one of the laestrygonians threw a punch at me I pulled my shield up while moving back hoping to absorb the hit. I slid back a bit with the punch however the giant was effected much more he groaned clutching in hand he might've even broken a knuckle. So using the small time i had I stabbed forward hoping to get him while he was weak. He managed to bring his strong arm up just in time to push my sword away. I did a quick side roll so i woudnt loose balance. On the ground i pulled my shield over my head blocking a punch from one of the other giants.

As all four giants came at me at oncei dissolved into my own shadow reappearing in one of the giants shadows i stabbed into his back, a fatal blow. I then rolled between another ones feet as he turned around putting a good cut into his left leg. He shouted in pain before reaching dow n in an attempt to grab me. I slammed my shield into his hand making him turn away in pain.

I glanced towards Reyna and Jason, Reyna was doing well she had disposed of one of her empousa and was advancing towards the next dodging arrows sent at her. For a second i couldnt find Jason but then spotted him he had killed both his empousai though he had an arrow in his left shoulder. He was still coming towards me I wished i could shout at him to stay and clean his wound.

However i was so distracted i didnt notice the giants fist coming at me till it was too late. I pulled my shield up in a desparate hope to block the hit but my posture was completely wrong. I was sent flying back a good 15 meteres before i hit the ground. Luckily my armor absorbed a big part of the hit but it still hurt. I groaned getting up i saw a flash before a deafening roar, lightning! I saw jason standing his spear hilt in the ground point towards the sky. A giant lay in ashes at his feet. However he looked dead tired the effort to call on such a bolt probably exhausted him. That still left 2 giants coming towards him I spotted Reyna running towards him, however the giants were only a few feet away and she couldnt handle borh at once, while keeping away from Jason.

I was tired but i gathered shadows around me reappearing in front of Jason. I pressed the runy on my sword it was covered with liquid fire i held it infromt of me.

The giants approached slowly weary of my sword. They'd seen what i could do, they knew i wasnt just some weak demigod snack.

I caught Reyna's eye she was behind one of the Giants both her daggers raised. She was waiting for my signal.

"Strong smell death, sea and lightning." I froze *sniffing* please dont smell Reyna "Very string smell, tasty too" I sighed in relief before making a gesture pretending to cut my throat, Reyna inderstood.

With that i rushed with my flaming sword at one Giant while Reyna jumped and put 2 daggers into the others neck killing it, before she rushed to Jason. I feinted upwards with my flaming sword before going for the giants legs. "Hot!" he screamed. Tripping over his own feet as he backed up i ran forward jumping on him and plunging my sword into his chest he disintigrated briefly after.

I heard the Train give a warning 2 minutes before departure.

I turned around, Reyna had already pulled the arrow out and started cleaning the wound, I rushed over, i got my flask of nectar. "Drink" i instructed letting him have a small sip. I then took out3 squares of ambrosia i handed one to each of them, before eating one myself.

"Jason you good, man we need to get to the train." i asked Jason

"Yea I can move" I helped him get up.

I had a feeling of Deja Vu as we ran to catch the train just as it left.

So how was the chapter like it? love it? Hate it? REVIEW!

I started this chapter at home, mid-way through i was at my grandma's (She lives an hour away) and i finished at Ikea.

Im with my cousins at a costa in the Ikea, using Costa's internet.
