Chapter 6

Percy POV the next day

"common guy's" Annabeth said basically dragging us behind her. We had just gotten of the train in Louisiana and she had already decided that we would but using our hour break between trains to see the Louisiana arch. To be honest it did look kinda cool from the outside but I only agreed to this because my mom was a fan of architecture so I thought it would be cool if I took a picture by it just so I could say I've been. As we rode on the elevator to the top this old lady's chiwawa kept barking and it was starting to get on my nerves

Percy POV

We got to the top of the Arch and that dang chiwawa just wouldn't shut up, I'd heard people complain about how annoying they can be and you know what I was starting to agree. I looked out the side windows for a while as we migrated to the other side of the Arch, in the back of my mind I noticed how there wasn't any more people coming up the elevator but I pushed the thought aside. "Hello the is Simon chief of security, I'm sorry to say this but were going to have to end tours early today so can everyone please head to the exit as quickly and calmly as possible, have a nice day".

Annabeth wasn't happy about it but we headed for the elevator, a few groups went down ahead of us but when it got to our group the elevator guy stopped us "sorry but you three will have to take the next one". "What why?" I asked. "The elevators full" he said. "What! there is literally one 10 year old kid in the there, at least let her go down with you" I said gesturing to the old lady with the annoying dog "sorry sir" the man said.

I looked down at the yippy dog, which was finally quiet by the way, and I noticed there was a name written on the collar. Annabeth had told me that most demigods have ADHD and dyslexia, I never really had either of those so I had no problem reading the name Chimera embroidered on the collar. For a second everything seemed to slow down I glanced at the old lady, she had sickly green skin that seemed to become more reptilian but the minute. The man in the elevator eyes had a glazed over look like he was in a trance.

Next to me the dog growled "now, now sonny hold on" the lady said. 'sonny' I thought 'seriously my first quest and I have to deal with freaking Echidna and the Chimera' the doors to the elevator were closing so I tried to in a sense throw/shove Me, Annabeth, and Grover in. The two of them went through just fine but something caught me by the waist and yanked me back, I landed pretty hard on my back and when I sat up Chimera had already changed into it true from, Echidna laughed "kill him sonny and bring me the bolt". 'Why can't i ever catch a break I said to myself'.

Please review
