Annabeth's point of view
Annabeth woke to a scream tearing through the night's silence, looming over her, was one of her siblings Luna, "S-sp…" she stuttered.
"Luna, if you don't speak, how am I suppose to understand what you are tryin-", Annabeth said.
She was cut by another scream, this time unfortunately, she could make out what it was-SPIDERS, the word sent shivers down her spine and sent her on alert mode, any drowsiness from her sleep vanishing.
She grabbed her sword lying on the nightstand and got up, only to see the whole Athena cabin in chaos; three spiders had half of her cabin cornered while a fourth one was on Luna's bed slowly making its way towards hers'.
A small part of Annabeth wanted to curl up and pretend she was dead and hope that the spiders would ignore her, but the other part, the larger part knew she had to rise to her siblings' rescue.
She would've still preferred keeping her distance from the spiders, but unlike other times she no more felt the urge to run away as far as her legs could carry her, she could somehow grip her sword without having her hands tremble, for the first time in her life she felt like she could actually defend herself against them.
She summoned her courage and stepped forward towards the first spider which was now just a foot away from her. She lifted her sword and in one wide arc she sliced the spider into two, electricity sparked around it one last time as it became lifeless.
One down, three to go, Annabeth mentally encouraged herself, slowly making her way towards the other three spiders, the were too occupied with her siblings to notice her, she landed her sword on one of them, the other two swiftly turned she took a few steps back, struck by how fast these creatures could move, they crawled towards her at an unnatural speed; she slashed one of them, tearing it into two and took a step back, but the other one was quick enough to climb her sword, instinctively, she slammed her sword on the wall with all the strength she had, smashing the spider into smithereens.
She took a deep breath and looked around at whatever remained of the spiders; she couldn't believe the fact it was all done by her, it fact she doubted if all this was reality or just another dream.
Just then the door burst open and Percy stepped in, "Annabeth", he screamed. He scanned the cabin and his worried expression changed into a skeptical one.
A\N: The next chapter will have the campers' reaction towards these events. As usual, apologies for any spelling or grammar mistakes I've made and also if this chapter was not as good as you expected, I am a new writer so please bear with me. Another thing is that, if it again takes some time for me to update, please do not assume that I have discontinued it or anything of that sort because I am never going to do that, though I will try my best to update regularly, exams or not.
Also, yesterday 42 Indian soldiers were martyred in a terrorist attack so please pray for them and their families may god grant them the strength to cope with the irreparable loss and may the soldiers Rest In Peace.
Reviews are greatly appreciated and constructive criticism is most welcome, hope you guys enjoyed reading.
