Annabeth POV: Mexican Manticore

It was almost noon, and Percy and I went down for lunch.

"What are you going to get?" He asked me.

"Oh, I don't know. But I really would like Mexican food." I told him. Then Kate and Zach walked in.

"Do you guys want to join Annabeth and I for lunch at a Mexican restaurant?" Percy asked them.

"Sure, I love Mexican food!" Kate told him, and giving Zach a look that said 'you better come with me'.

"Uh… Yeah! Let's go get some Mexican food!" He said. He smiled at Kate, in way that looked exactly like Percy.

We found at Mexican food place, and got a table almost immediately. Kate looked at me like she needed my help.

"Hey Annabeth, I'm going to use the bathroom, do you need to go too?" Kate said, and I knew she meant 'I need to talk to you pronto'.

"Sure, Percy, Zach, excuse us for a moment." I said.

We walked into the bathroom, and Kate's expression was extremely nervous.

"I had a dream last night." She said solemnly. "Some voice told me…told me that the two sons of Poseidon were in danger. I think it was talking about Percy and…Zach." She said.

My worst fears had just been confirmed. Zach was Percy's half brother.

"I have a feeling that there's a monster in this restaurant." I told her. It was almost like a sixth sense. "We need to get them out of here, so we can take it on alone." I told her. She nodded.

"I have an idea. But, you're going to have to do it, I'm a terrible liar." she said.

"Alright." I said. I walked out of the bathroom, and Kate stayed behind, just like the plan.

"Why can't you go? I wouldn't even know what kind to get!" Percy said turning red.

"Please, Percy! I'm not gonna abandon her in the bathroom! Just go get some tampons, please! I need them too, anyway!" I said, trying not to make it seem fake.

"Oh my gods…" Percy huffed under his breath. "C'mon Zach, we have to go get tampons for Annabeth and Kate." He said, looking very embarrassed.

"Thank you, Percy, I love you!" I said, hopeful he would listen and get out of the restaurant They walked out of the restaurant, and Kate was already behind me, her mouth wide open. A manticore.

But then, of course, Percy was next to me, riptide drawn. He was going to fight, and I knew, that this was going to end very badly.
