Chapter 4- Wolves and Spiders
Percy POV
I was still in this forest, getting over the shock of the goblins that had caught me. I needed to not be caught so easily. Gritting my teeth, I jog on down the forest path, hoping that the house I am looking for is nearby.
Nightfall was beginning, and I needed a place to sleep that would allow me to rest. I duck off the path and into a relatively sheltered area next to a large tree. This would have to do. I eat a light meal and drift off to sleep.
My eyes opened suddenly, and I heard a slight rustling sound. Suddenly, I hear the howl of a large wolf, far in the distance. My eyes remain open and alert, something was nearby. Tick tick tick comes from a couple of trees across the path. Red eyes suddenly appear in the darkness of the trees. I draw riptide again. The sun rises over the hills, and a little light enters the forest. I see a giant black furry body in front of me, attached to eight red eyes. I spin around to see another of the things behind me. Then I realised that they were spiders. Giant spiders. I gasp in fear and sprint to the side of them and through the forest.
I pull riptide out of pen form and spin around to see the spiders in hot pursuit. They were click clicking away, I could see anger in their eyes at their prey escaping. I quickly turn and stab the closest spider in the eye. It clicks extremely loudly in pain as blood flowed out of its eye.
The larger spider starts running faster, leaving me no choice but to engage it in battle. I spin and slash riptide across its face. It clicks and reveals its fangs. It lunges at me leaving me barely anytime to dodge. I stumble backwards and the spider leaps forward at me, I blindly stab riptide up into its head. It stops dead with its fangs just centimetres from my face. I rip riptide from its body and it dissolves into dust.
I sit down against a tree, and eat a light breakfast of ham. Getting up, I set off down the path again.

Annabeth POV
I sit down on a park bench in New York City. I had been walking continuously for the last few days, searching for Percy. My eyes begin to droop, and sleep overtakes me.
My eyes shoot open, and I look up to see the sun just setting. I had slept all day. Morning to afternoon. I sit up with a groan, and stretch out my aching muscles. I walk down the street, hoping that today would be the day I found him. Then I heard it, a scream. I rush towards the scream. It leads me to a dark alley, there was a young girl, looking only 15 or 16. There was a man who was starting towards her, his back to me. Anger and disgust fills my mind and I race down towards him.
"OI! YOU!" I yell as loud as I could, drawing his attention towards me and away from the girl. My battle stance naturally came into position. He grins at me and laughs maniacally. He run at me, fists up. I duck under his lazy excuse of a punch. My leg speeds up into his crotch, I leap up and grab his arm, bending it behind his back. SNAP! His arm breaks. I spin and punch him in the nose, and throw him to the ground. He was even worse than Craig at fighting!
The girl looks at me in shock and gratefulness. "Thank you so much" she manages to say, her voice shaking slightly. "No problem" I say, smiling at her. She walks off down the street, obviously to her home. Just to make sure, I follow her, making sure she got home safely.
I sigh, and continue my search.

Percy POV
I grab a low tree branch and haul myself up. I grab the next and begin scaling the massive tree. My arms and legs are groaning in protest, but I keep on going. Soon, my head popped out of the top of the gargantuan sized tree. I could see for miles around, my head well above the other trees, but there was no sign of the house. It was probably under a lot of tree cover.
I climb down slowly, hoping not to fall. My feet finally touch the ground again.
Sighing heavily, I continue down the narrow dirt path. It was nearing night again, and I decide to sleep in the most secure spot I could find. I walk off the path a bit in search of a secluded area. I finally find one. A small spot close to the path, with many boulders and trees around it. I settle down against a tree surrounded by boulders and drift off to sleep.
I wake with a start. This has been happening to much recently. AROOOOOOO! I hear. Wolves. They were extremely close. I draw riptide carefully. I jump up and lean against a boulder, my ears prickling, waiting for a noise.
I hear a rustle and spin that way, just in time to see a wolf jump out of the bushes. It bounces on my chest barking and snarling. I could barely hold it off. I roll to the side, finally succeeding in throwing the large wolf off me.
I slash riptide across its snout. It snarls as blood runs from its nose. He lunges and I plunge riptide into its throat. It disintegrates into golden dust. These were not ordinary wolves, they were Greek monsters.
Suddenly, a bunch of other wolves jump out from around me, and I start spinning in attack as they surround me. I swing riptide around me in a circle, holding them at bay for now. Every time one crept forward, it had to leap back as riptide came back round.
I jump as high as I can and scale a boulder to the top. The wolves remain snarling and jumping at the bottom of the boulder. I scan the surroundings, looking for something I could use. Then I saw it. A large lake was nearby, just a few hundred meters from my position.
I summon a massive wave and weave it through the trees, forming it again in front of the wolves. The wave knocks them back several hundred meters, and slams some into trees, causing them to disintegrate immediately. Half of the remaining wolves rushed off snarling. The other half of the remaining looked at me in disgust and hate. They come rushing back at me and start clawing at the boulder.
Suddenly they got up, about 7 in total. They rush to the top and lunge at me. I swing riptide at the first, and he disintegrates. I swing round and knock back a second one. The others hit me, and I tumbled off the boulder, hitting my head hard on the ground.
My world goes black.
