I think you guys should just expect weekly updates. Sorry about the over-a-week-long-wait. I know, I know, this update came SUPER late, so guess what you guys get? A triple update. This is a longer chapter, so you guys should be totally happy about this triple update.

~~~~Leo's POV~~~~

I woke from my dream to knocking on my door. Annabeth poked her head in.

"Leo? Time to get up," she told me, smiling slightly.

I nodded and she left. When she was gone, I slipped on a white t-shirt and some jeans, with leather suspenders. I ran a hand through my curly hair, but it refused to be tamed. I walked downstairs and noticed that all the others were already up and talking around a table.

Percy and Annabeth were both wearing jeans and Camp Half-Blood t-shirts. Annabeth had her sword at her side. Frank was wearing a blue shirt with tan pants and Hazel was wearing a purple Camp Jupiter shirt and jeans. Jason was wearing a red shirt and matched it with tan pants. Piper was wearing tattered jeans and a white tank-top with dirt on it. The old gang.

"Hey guys! What are you talkin' about?" I asked, wanting to be part of the conversation.

Annabeth turned her gray eyes onto me. "What are we talking about, you ask? Well, we were waiting for you to discuss dreams, then we were going to talk about today's lesson, then just hang-out until breakfast," she told me. I nodded and sat down next to Jason and Percy.

"I had a dream about Calypso. She said this war will be different than other wars, and to keep working on the project," I said. Annabeth nodded when I mentioned the project we were working on.

"I wonder what she means by different. Percy and Annabeth, you guys have been through more wars than us. Do you have any idea what Calypso means?" Piper asked, glancing at the people in question.

"Well, she could mean..." Annabeth trailed off, looking deep in thought.

~~~~Annabeth's POV~~~~

"Well, she could mean..." I trailed off, sinking into thought.

Well, she could mean that we will have an easy victory, unlike the last wars. Or she could mean we won't be outnumbered, which could be good. She could even mean that there won't be any casualties... Oh, I think I have something. We are not wizards. So it could be possible for us to not be affected by the spells they cast... I think that's what she means. Yeah.

"Guys, I think I know what she means!" I said with excitement.

~~~~Piper's POV~~~~

Annabeth was about to tell us what she meant, but then she stopped and tilted her head to the side, as if thinking hard again. I told the others not to interrupt her thinking streak.

~~~~Annabeth's POV~~~~

I was about to tell them what I meant, but another thinking streak came.

Well, for the war we could charge out with our weapons, then the wizards have their wands tucked in their pockets. If my thoughts are correct, then we should form a wall, kind of, because, hopefully, the spells will bounce off of us. I'll work on this more later.

"Okay guys, sorry about that, I was just thinking. So, I think Calypso means that we won't be affected by the spells the wizards send. After all, we are not wizards, but demigods," I told them, leaving out the part about the war. They nodded as if they understood.

"That sounds right, Wise Girl," Percy told me. Leo nodded.

"Anyone else have dreams to share?" Jason asked.

"Well, if no one has any other dreams to share, then let's start planning our day," I said briskly. Everyone nodded and leaned in.


~~~~Hermione's POV~~~~

I woke the boys up early, as usual. We sat together in the common room, waiting for breakfast.

"Hey, let's talk about the new class!" Harry exclaimed.

"Sure!" Ron said. I nodded.

"Well, I wonder what kind of stuff we are learning today. I thought the stuff about Hecate was interesting. And capture the flag was fun!" I said smiling.

Ron looked sheepish. "Thanks for the notes, Hermione," he told me.

What! He took my notes... Oh! I'll just sit here like I don't care, then when he is least expecting it, I'll get him!

I grinned at him like a madman. Or madwoman. Harry looked nervous, but Ron shrugged.

"In capture the flag, I was defense. It was harder than it looks. I think that's because the demigods have had more practice. I'm glad we won," Harry said fondly, lost in memory.

Just then, it was time for breakfast. We all filed out.


At breakfast, I was sitting in between Ron and Harry. The order on my side was; Ron/Me/Harry/Hazel/Jason. On the other side, it was; Percy/Annabeth/Leo/Frank/Piper.

"Does everyone remember the plan?" Annabeth asked, glancing at all the demigods in turn. They all nodded. Suddenly, Hazel looked up from her food, golden eyes bright with alarm.

"Hoc enim est sub terra, Monstruosum putas?" {Something is underground, do you think it's a monster?} Hazel asked. I had no idea what she meant.

Jason and Frank nodded quickly, then Jason said, "Κάτι είναι υπόγειο! Νομίζετε ότι είναι ένα τέρας;" {Something is underground, do you think it's a monster?}

Annabeth looked alarmed and stood up, resting a hand on her sword. Percy stood up with her, a hand in his pocket. Girly laughter filled the air.

The two looked at each other and said as one, "Kelli." All the other demigods stood up as well.

"Guys, we will be fighting an empousa named Kelli who hates my guts. Boys, this is usually your cue to sit down," Annabeth said, then, looking at the sky she muttered, "How many times do we have to kill her?" Like she has fought this 'Kelli' before. She probably had.

Hazel looked at Annabeth. "You've fought her befo-" She was cut short as Annabeth yelled, "DUCK!"

Hazel asked no questions, just bent over as Annabeth jumped over her and slashed at...air. She said some unflattering things about speed, then warily faced a girl with fire for hair. Piper was on one side; Hazel on the other. The whole hall was silent, watching to see what would happen.


"Annabeth! How awesome! We meet again. I see you have a weapon this time. But it's not your precious dagger that Luke gave you. Aww, so sad," she cooed. Annabeth tightened her grip on the handle of her sword. Percy looked about to jump up, then remembered something and sat down again.

"I killed you once. I can kill you again. I had hoped you would learn something about demigods. You know, like the fact that we kill you? Well, all the more work for me! Oh, and never, ever mention Luke again," Annabeth said, a fierce look in her eyes.

"Oh, Daughter of Athena, I thought we could make your death quick. Alas, you shall suffer more than you did in Tartarus!" At that, Kelli lunged. Luckily Annabeth was ready. She rolled out of the way and stood up again. Kelli spun around and circled Annabeth. Annabeth circled with her; sword held out, ready to strike. And strike she did. Apparently, Kelli got impatient, and soon all I could see was a blur of orange, blond, and bone.


A few minuets later, Annabeth stood triumphantly over a pile of golden dust. She was breathing heavily, with some cuts on her arm, leg, and forehead. Piper and Hazel congratulated her, and she sat down. Percy handed her... something. She ate it, and a few seconds later, her cuts healed.

"Why didn't you let the boys up, and the girls fight?" I asked, because I thought she would want help.

"I didn't let the boys up because empousae can charm-speak and can use the Mist. It's hard for men to resist. I didn't let the girls fight because... well, she angered me, and I didn't have time to let the others attack. Plus there was only one monster, so it would have been harder with more than one person," she answered.

Harry, being ignorant, asked, "Who's Luke?" I swear I saw a tear slide down Annabeth's cheek.

Percy simply said, "A friend. Let's not talk about it." He glanced at Annabeth who was curled against him with wet eyes. "Yes, a friend," she said, quieter than a whisper. We dropped the topic after that.

There! I hope you guys like that. I think Hermione was a little OOC. *shrugs* I haven't read the books in a while. Sorry about that.

I think the chapter is pretty good. I got some action in there. It's also longer.
