My computer is fixed and the chapter is done! Time for the real chapter eleven. I really hope you guys think it was worth the wait! So without further adue (except for a disclamer) the chapter awaits.
I do not own POJ.
Annabeth's POV
The first monster came at Jason who raised his sword just in time. As I watched Jason almost die, a monster darted out from the trees and leapt at me. I maneuvered away and stabbed it with my dagger.
It was a trick. I thought. This whole thing… was just so that she could get us.
More monsters poured out from the trees. Facing Hazel I saw she had abandoned the crevasse and was hurtling precious metal at everything in sight.
"Hazel!" I cried "The crevasse!"
"I've done what I can." She yelled back.
After that I lost track of her and the others. I knew they were still alive…. The odd wind gust came my way and there was the odd monster mash going on and flying gold bars.
But we were out- numbered and barely hanging on.
I drove my dagger into whatever chink of armour I could find and quickly dodged as a club came out of nowhere. Even though Monsters took a while reforming now, it still felt like they wouldn't go away. When you killed one, another two came out of the trees.
We need back up I thought desperately as more came at me. Where were Frank and Leo? Surely they had seen them coming, why weren't they here?
I heard someone cry out. Whipping around and ducking under a sword at the same time, I saw Piper fall.
Jason ran to her at the same time I did, but he was closer, so I turned away as he arrived at her side.
Weapons, monsters and a giant wall of water filled my sights.
It came towards me and I didn't even have time to scream.
But instead of washing me away it grabbed the monsters in front of me and swept them away, back into the forest. The monsters cried out and then were lost.
It sounded like there was fighting in the forest… But I knew the others were in the clearing with me. So why would there be fighting in there? An arrow flew beside me and brought me back to monsters closer at hand.
As I continued to stab at the monsters someone came in behind me. I don't know why I didn't turn around to confront them… but I didn't. I guess because it felt right. They were on our side and I seemed to know it.
We fought together. They compensated for my weakness and I for theirs. We knew each other's fighting styles, I went into automatic mode.
Jets of water shot out from nowhere, pushing monsters back or restraining them so that we could kill them. Jason blasted air at our enemy and hit them with lightning. When monsters were held fast by the water… he would shock the water, killing any monsters held in its grasp.
A nagging sensation ran through me. But I couldn't think about it. I had to focus on fighting and the trajectory of the newest arrow that was sent my way.
The new comer had rallied us, given us an impossible advantage. It looked like we might actually make it.
Focus on that Annabeth. I told myself. Not who they are… just that they are helping.
The forces no longer seemed to be replenishing itself. Each time will killed a monster… no one came to replace them. I stabbed a kapoi and watched it crumble into whole grain cereal.
That's when I noticed that everything was silent. Sunlight had returned to the clearing.
It was over.
Exhaustedly I looked at the damage. Spears, knives and any other kind of weapon you could think of lay scattered throughout the clearing and forest. Everything was soaking wet. Water dripped from the branched overhead and huge puddles were everywhere. Everywhere except for where a fith person stood. A person with raven black hair and sad sea green eyes.
I whispered "Percy."
