Yea, I put Tyson in the story. We cant live without Tyson the Cyclops! Seriosly...Keira and them woulda died, and I would like this story to have a sequel, so technicly I HAD to put Tyson in the story. Not that I didnt want Tyson in the story, its just that... he's a Cyclops, and I'd much rather read about Hellhounds or somthing. But anyway, here is Chapter 13!

Everyone woke up at about six in the morning, thanks to my handy-dandy waterproof watch. I sat up and yawned, and Annabeth tried to go back to sleep. Tyson jumped right up and walked outside and Percy followed him to make sure that Tyson didnt wander off to far. I heard my stomach rumble. Annabth groaned and said, "I cant sleep now."

"Good then wake up." I said and Annabeth threw her pillow at me. "Im hungry. Did you guys pack any food down here?"

"Yeah, check in the ice box." Annabeth said and started rolling up her sleeping bag and put it in a corner. I did the same then opened the ice box. There may not have been ice, but there were water bottles and chedder cheese Ritz crackers.

"Food!" I said like I was greeting a old friend.

"I wouldnt eat that." Anabeth said and started rolling up all the other sleeping bags. "We put those in there a long time ago. Look at the expiration date." I looked.

"August twenty-fith...2001. Its 2006. Great. What about the water?" I asked.

"I would wait till Percy gets back just to check." Annabeth said and cleaned up the base.

"What do you want me to check?"

Annabeth and I shrieked and I grabbed an arrow and was ready to throw it at the intruder.

Percy stood at the entrance to the base with his hands up in the air. "Sorry! Dont kill me!"

I put the arrow back in the quiver. "Percy, I think that I should kill you!" I said and Annabeth nodded in agreement.

Percy put his hands down. "Thats not a nice thing to say." he said sarcasticly. I took my braclet off my wrist and blew on it. I sat on the sleeping bags that were piled up in a corner.

"Where's Tyson?" Annabeth asked.

"I sent him to go look for some powdered donuts or somthing." Percy said. "Come on, let's wait outside."

We all waited outside. Suddenly we saw Tyson shoved in white powdered donuts in his mouth. He held a white pasty box out to us.

"Where did you get those?" Annabeth asked.

"Fifty feet, Monster Donut shop. Just over the hill!"

"This is not good," Annabeth muttered. We were couched behind a bush staring at a new donut shop in the middle of the woods. There was a employee reading a magazine behind the counter. There was a parking lot and a road that led of to someplace.

"This shouldnt be here," Annabeth whispered.

"Why not? Its a donut shop," Percy said.

"Shhhh!

"Why should we be whispering? Tyson went in there and nothing happened to him."

"He's a monster."

"Aww c'mon Annabeth. Monster donut dosnt mean monsters. Its a chain. We've got them in New York."

"A chain," Annabeth agreed. "And isnt it a little bit strange that as soon as you asked Tyson to find a donut shop, this one popped up right in the middle of the woods?"

"It could be a nest." Annabeth exclaimed.

She turned to me. "What do you think?"

I raised my hands up. "Uh, I dont really want to get into this but I agree with both of you. A donut store doesnt seem to sinister to me, and there are lots of Monster Donut shop's in the world, but it could be a trap to capture demi-gods."

Percy asked, "What kinda nest?"

Annabeth sighed. "Have'nt you ever wondered how franchise stores ust kinda pop up? Like one day there would be an empty space, and the next, boom, there's a flower shop or a diner or a coffee shop? First a single shop, then two, then four, then their spreading across the country?"

"Um no. Never thought about it."

Annabeth started explaining more, then froze.

"What?" I asked.

"No-sudden-moves," she said. "Slowly, turn around."

We did as she said.

And we saw it.

A huge rhino sized thing moving through the forest. It was hissing, its front half writhing in all directions. At first I didnt understand, but then I saw that it had more then one neck, at least seven, and at the top of each neck was a reptile head. Right after sharks on my scared list:

Reptiles.

Its skin looked leathery and under each neck there was a bib that said, "Im a Monster Donut kid!"

Percy took out his pen but didnt do anything yet. I had my sword behind me. It was because lots of monsters have terrible eyesight, and it might just pass by us.

We waited.

The Hydra was only a few feet away. It was sniffing the ground. Then I saw two heads tearing apart one of our duffel bags. The Hydra had already ben to our campsite. We hadnt run into it.

It had followed us.

I learned that Hydra' s are not on my list to meet. Each head was diamond shaped and had razor sharp teeth and claws.

Tyson ruined our silence as he stepped back and snapped a twig. All seven heads turned toward us and hissed.

"Scatter!" Annabeth yelled. She dove to the right and Percy rolled to the left and I did a back handspring. Gymnastics lessens pay off. Percy almost got shot by a green poison one of the Hydra heads spat at him. Another Hydra head lunged its large neck at me and I barley missed the sharp jagged teeth.

Then a tree started to fall, and it was falling toward Tyson and Percy tackled him out of the way of the falling tree. The whole Hydra had lunged at Tyson and now had two of its heads stuck in the tree.

The Hydra stumbled backward, yanking its two heads free then wailing in outrage at the fallen tree. All seven heads shot the poison at the tree and it instantly turned into a puddle.

Then Percy did the STUPIDIST thing I had ever seen in my life. He used the celestial bronze from Riptide to catch the Hydra's attention, and it worked.

Most monsters hate celestial bronze. The Hydra whipped all seven heads toward Percy and the sword.

Percy was about to be melted into a puddle of goo.

One of the heads lunged at Percy and he cut the head off.

"No!" Annabeth yelled.

Then I started thinking Annabeth should rethink the situation. We were all about to be melted into goo by a Hydra, and Percy cut of one of the heads. It would turn to gold dust soon.

The head was sliced clean off and rolled into the grass, where it stopped bleeding and started to swell to the size of a balloon. In a matter of seconds, the wounded neck split into two more necks which each grew a full sized head. Now there was a total of eight heads, more then what we had started with.

"Percy you idiot!" I yelled.

"Percy, you just opened another Monster Donut shop in the world somwhere!" Annabeth yelled and dodged some poison.

"Im about to die and youre worried about that? How do we kill it?" Percy asked. I ducked under some of the acid.

"Fire! We have to have fire!"

"Well Percy, I dont think that you'll be much of a help in that catogory." I said. Suddenly I remembered somthing. "Tyson, go into the store and get some matches!" I yelled, and Tyson sprinted into the store and came out a second later with some matches. He threw them to me and I caught them.

"When I say so, cut of one of the heads!" I yelled. I fumbled with the match box and finally got one out. Now kids, dont play with matches. I lit the match. "Now!" I yelled, and Percy swung his sword at one of the heads. I lit the tip of me sword with a tiny fire and lit up the neck before it could grow two more heads. The Hydra wailed in pain, then burned to dust.

"That was fun." I said, and everyone put their weapons away. Then I heard a voice behind me say, "Hurry up losers im gonna rescue you because you cant do that yourself."
