Chapter 10

Annabeth's pov

When I woke up well rested, I went to go find Percy. I checked his room and when he wasn't there I checked to see if he was in Alex's room. I knocked on the door. Nobody answered. I tried again, but still no one answered, so I opened the door to see the room empty. I decided to get something to eat then continue to look for them. I walked to the kitchen. When I got close I could here laughter. Now who could that be? I walked into the kitchen to see Alex and Percy talking and laughing. Well at least there feeling better.

"Hey, what's so funny?" I asked.

They both looked at me surprised. I guess I scared them. Hahaha.

"Percy told a funny story to me."

"About what?"

"About the time the pizza guy got lost and ended up on the beach.

I smiled at that. That was funny. We had to use the mist to make him forget and stuff. At that thought I burst out laughing. A second later they both joined me. I joined them for breakfast and we shared some more good stories we had.

"Guys you need to see this." An Aphrodite camper said.

"It's so beautiful."

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"Just come on and see it for your self."

We walked out of the kitchen to see white balls bursting in mid air.

"What are those?" Asked Percy.

"They are attacking." Said Alex

I looked at him then back at the balls more closely to see something attack the ball and causing it to explode.

"How did you know?" Asked Percy.

"When I was with my dad the same thing happened except more powerful attacks." He answered.

"If they are attacking then we should get ready." Said Percy. "Sierra (the Aphrodite camper) I want you to go gather everybody up with Alex. Annabeth and I will go out and stall if they come to close, now go."

They took off down the hall to go gather everybody while me and Percy took off to the elevator to stall if necessary.

Alex's pov

"EVERYBODY GET TO POSITIONS WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. CONNER AND TRAVIS HURRY GO, GO, GO. MOVE IT." I yelled out as we were running through the hall.

"I think that's everybody Alex." Said Sierra.

I nodded my head and we took of to go stand by Percy.

"DO you see anybody?" I asked.

"No, not yet."

"SCREECH"

I covered my ears just like everybody else. Once it stopped I started looking around for the source.

"What the hell was that?" Asked Percy.

I looked around until I found what I was looking for. There in the distance was the Drakon. I pointed at what I saw, but was too shocked to say anything. Percy's gaze followed where I was pointing and gasped as did everybody else. When Percy didn't say anything I started giving out orders.

"Hephaestus cabin set up traps outside the door. Apollo cabin and the huntress's will stay back and fire at any monster or demi-god that gets to close. Demeter and Hermes attack on the left side. Aphrodite, Persephone and Athena campers on the right. Me, Percy and Annabeth will go after the beast. Now GO." I yelled.

All the campers and hunters cheered as they ran to their positions to get ready. I had to drag Percy and Annabeth with me as I ran over to the Drakon. As we got closer it landed with a loud THUMP. I took out my sword as did Percy and Annabeth. At the sight of the blades it snapped at me. I rolled out of the way only to be swatted out of the air by its tail. I smashed into the building which by the way really hurt. I pushed all the debris off of me and walked out of the hole I created. I saw Annabeth looking at me with relief on her face and Percy on its neck climbing to its head. He slammed his sword into its eye and with a loud shriek he was thrown off. As he was about to fall face first into concrete a blur of purple came out of nowhere and caught him setting him safely on the ground. The blur continued to move as if it was floating. It move quickly dodging the creatures tail and acid spit, landing on its head. It took out a dagger which seemed so familiar and drove it into the other eye. The monsters scales lifted revealing openings to attack which the boy also known as the purple blur drove his blade yet again in to its neck at the new opening. As the Drakon started to crumble the boy turned into the purple blur and landed right in front of me. The boy had a hood up, so I couldn't see his face and his dagger was gone.

"Thank you for saving me, but who are you?" Asked Percy.

The boy turned his head towards Percy and took off his hood and by the look of confusion on Percy's face he didn't know him. I could only see the back of his head so I had no idea who he was.

"Are you a child of Artemis?" Asked Annabeth.

"And why would you think that?" Asked the boy amused.

I knew that voice, but I just couldn't match it to anyone.

"Your eyes are silver. The only one I know to have eyes like that is Lady Artemis." Answered Annabeth.

As they continued there conversation it all clicked the dagger, the voice it was all familiar to me because it all belonged to my one and only brother.

"ICARUS"

I was thinking about adding more, but decided to leave it like that. I'll let you keep imagining what happens next until the next chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and please review and favorite. Oh and for the other book I'm writing The Necklace I might be adding a new chapter within this week. Peace!:)
