Chapter 7 Trouble rises up

James woke up before the sun raise, he is still shaken from his nightmare. He thinks back on his talk his father and he said, 'The bonds you have made here will be tested during the dark days. Pray you have chosen wisely.' and just like that he was gone.

He sat on the cabin steps and called Nightwatch to his knee. While watched for the sun to rise, Nightwatch told him about the comings and goings of the night. A lot of the normal hormone crazed teenager stuff, so much for the rule of 'no campers together alone.'

When the sun started to show. He saw Annabeth walking up the path. She hadn't seen him yet when he said, "Good morning Annabeth"

"Oh…you're up" she replied, "I was coming to see Percy, but since you're awake. I'd like to talk ask some questions."

Just what he feared most. He knew it was only a matter of time before she had questions. "Oh…okay what would you like to know" he said as he gave Nightwatch a treat.

"First off, what is going on? the entire camp staff has been tense ever since you arrived."

Just great, the big million dollar question and the one I cannot fully answer he thought to himself, "Okay Annabeth you must trust i can't fully answer or say much at the moment, but what I can say is something big is about to happen so big it will shake the very foundation of the world. Soon I will be able to explain more later after I've talked to Chiron. But for now will you please keep quiet, allow every one else a few more days of arrogant bliss even if it is just awhile longer"

Annabeth seem to agree with him about that. "Okay–" she try to say but James put his finger to his lips

"Wait something is wrong here the animals have gone quiet," he said as he motion Nightwatch to fly up. James stood up "Annabeth we need to alert the camp but we don't want let them know we are onto them is any silent alarms the cabins?"

"Yeah we had some installed when we redid the cabins."

"Let make Percy and Tyson together y'all can alert the rest of the camp. I will go ahead to see what it is– wait Nightwatch says there danger is coming the sound. Hurry Annabeth! gather everyone in the common area", with that James turn into a Panther and took off running to the beach.

Annabeth ran into cabin 3 to wake Percy and Tyson.

James took cover in a grouping of trees. James watch figures as they came out of the surf; They were tall almost 7 feet with green scales, dragon-like head horns that curled back, yellow glowing eyes, arms like a body builder, wedded claws, and fins that ran the length of their backs. From the waist down they are sea-serpent's body with fined tail. "This is not good at all."

James quickly ran back to the common area as he got there James change back to human while jumping over a bush "Percy this is not good, they're the Atlantean Nagalins, the guardians of the lost city of Atlantis.

"What?"

"Sea-serpent men!", James said, "They're coming onto the beach, about fifty of 'em. Man they are big! But they're not so fast and can't hear well. There are some with tridents and the others have harpoon guns. There are three leaders that are carrying greek-fire swords. I suggest setting up a ambush between here and the beach, I will lead them into it"

"Ok James but be careful" Annabeth said for Arnora.

"I will good hunting guys", James change into his panther form again and started to run back to the beach. After a few minutes thunder crack the sky near the beach , then again and again. By the time James got back to the ambush he had two harpoons in his back and third in his left arm. He was still tossing thunder strikes at the Nagalins, cursing as they got hit and dissolved into seaweed.

Once James was clear of the kill-box the ambush was sprang to life. Hunters began shooting from the trees. Jars of greek fire exploded. Then Percy and Annabeth lead the charge as Apollo's cabin shout from their pegasi above. It was a shock and awe sight to see. There was only two-thirds of the original force left when James led them into the ambush. Only a hand full left when they try to retreat, Apollo's cabin gave chase, moping up the rest of them.

The sun was above the valley rim when it was all over. James drops right in the middle of the common area. Percy, Arnora, Annabeth and Tyson rush to his side with a medic from cabin 7.

Campers started patrols, and clean up of the seaweed by burning it. James is laid up in the infirmity recovering from the attack, and his wounds, passing in and out of conciseness. After awhile, he woke to see Arnora sitting at his bedside watching him sleep and checking his bandages. "Hey there, nice to see you again", James said making her to jump out of a daydream

"Oh you awake, I was thinking." she said trying to cover up her day dream. That when Percy and Annabeth came in and join her by the bed.

"Hey man, how do you feel?", Percy asked

"I'll live", James said trying to sit up but has body screamed with pain causing him to lay back down, "or maybe not"

"Just try not to move so much and you'll be okay", Annabeth said.

"You was amazing as usual", Arnora said, "I want asked you if you could teach cabin 10 how to sword fight…uh James" she look up and seen that James had already fallen back to sleep.

Annabeth said, "Don't worry Arnora. It took alot out of him. Fighting the way that he did."

Arnora replied, "I should go, I've got training to go to", as she leaned over and kiss him on the cheek then walk out as Nightwatch flew in and land on the headboard of the bed. Turning his head to look at Percy & Annabeth.

Then Annabeth said to Nightwatch, "Please tell James that Arnora wants James to ask her to the 4th of July fireworks. Oh and she was wondering if he would teach her cabin how to sword fight."

The raven gave a slight nod.

Yes if you're lost Chapter 7 and chapter 8 are connected. But Arnora and James seem to have something going on lol there might be some fireworks
