Percy's Pov

"They wouldn't," Annabeth asked. "Would they?" She looked at me.

"I'm not waitin' to find out." Annabeth and I ran into the living room, grabbed out coats, and jumped out of the house and into my car. Annabeth and I lived in the perfect place. 15 minutes from camp and 15 minutes from the Empire State Building. "We'll have to go to my mom's palace first. She's the one who probably would've taken her."

"Okay. Your mom's." We ran into the Empire state building and grabbed the keys off of the front desk. We stumbled into the elevator and jammed the key into the slot. All of the keys started to light up and I pressed the one that said 600 in Greek. We jumped out of the elevator and ran. "It's over here! Come on!" Annabeth took my hand and kept running. We pushed with all our might on the stone doors.

"Athena!" I yelled.

"How dare you." Athena appeared behind me in her casual white blouse and jeans. She had a girl in her arms that had curly black hair and piercing gray eyes. Twig.

"How dare us?" Annabeth yelled. "Your the one who kidnapped our daughter. Give her back!"

"I don't think so. A girl needs quality time with her grandmother. I can teach her how to clean, and she can be my servent."

"WHAT?" I yelled. "My daughter is not going to be turned into a servant!" Annabeth and I looked at eachother. I pulled out my pen, Riptide and Annabeth pulled out her dagger. Not the one she killed Luke with. The new one I got her for her birthday at camp. I uncapped my pen. "Your smart." I said to Athena. "If your smart you'll take the easy way and avoid the fight."

Athena scoffed. "If I was smart, which I am, I wouldn't take the easy way. And not avoid the fight. Because I do love a fight. How about this. I'm proposing that if you win, I'll give you Twig. If I win, I get Twig and I get to do whatever I want with her."

"I'm not betting my daughter."

"Okay. I suppose she'll just have to stay."

"Fine." I said.

"What? Percy? No." Annabeth said confused.

"We have to. It's our only chance."

"Fine." Annabeth said reluctantly.

"So we have a deal?" Athena asked, cunningly.

"Yes."

"Alright." Athena shifted into battle armor and Twig disappeared. "Two against one?" Annabeth and I looked at each other.

"No." Annabeth said. "This is between me and you."

"You and I." Athena corrected.

"Okay. This is between you and I."

Annabeth and Athena started to fight.
