Percy's point of view

Percy was sound asleep in the warmth of his bunk at cabin 3; his sleep was dreamless and peaceful until a very shrill scream woke him up, his eyes shot open, in a crazed state he grabbed his sword and dashed out of his cabin. Outside were campers from all the cabins armed with weapons of all kinds, who wore an equally confused expression, he tried to find Annabeth, scanning the crowd for the Athena kids but they were nowhere to be seen, it then dawned upon him that no one from Athena cabin was present there in the first place, just then another scream was heard, this time he could make out both: where it came from and what it said. It came from the Athena cabin just as he had suspected, and much to his horror it said: spiders.

After facing Arachne, Percy wasn't sure if Annabeth would be able stay in her senses if she had to face another spider, he had seen Arachne for a very short period of time after which he turned her into monster dust, but even though he saw her only for a brief span of time he was sure he wasn't looking forward to their next meeting, Annabeth already had a fear of spiders and she remained in the monster's presence for a much longer time then he did, all possible negative thoughts swirled in Percy's mind as he ran towards the Athena cabin.

He banged the door as hard as he could, then he realized that no one inside was possibly in a condition to attend the door, obvious enough, what had he even been thinking, Percy pushed his body at the door with all the strength he had the door remained unaffected, he tried again and again; the door gave in for the fourth strike and burst open.

Inside was something that surprised him more than anything else had done in seventeen years of his existence, had he not been an eye witness to it he would have refused to believe what was ahead of him.

Remains of what he thought was once a mechanical spider lay on the ground, all the Athena kids just blankly stared ahead, fear still evident in their eyes except one, Annabeth's eyes didn't had fear, not an ounce of it, there was shock and anger, she looked really intimidating with her sword raised, she looked at me for a second and then went back to staring at the spiders as if she expected them to come back to life in flash, behind me somewhere I heard a scared Connor or was it Travis, make a weird noise Annabeth eyes darted in their direction for a second and then met mine.

I recovered from my shock "Um…Annabeth, you did all of this?"' I asked, pointing the remains.

Annabeth stayed quite for some time as if words weren't able to form in her mouth, she looked at the remains for one last time and finally spoke, "Yeah, though I don't know how, guess I have a special dislike for spiders who interrupt my sleep."

A/N: So how was it? This was Percy's point of view as you all just read; the next chapter will have the other capers' reaction and the Stolls' and Leo's fate and off course a calmer Annabeth's reaction. I apologize for all possible mistakes I've done. Reviews are greatly appreciated, and thank you once again for your support, keep being wonderful.
