Just so you know, I edited the end of the last chapter, so there might be more on it that you have read

Chapter 3

Walking down a hall with a dracanae's sword digging into my pack wasn't haw I planned to spend my Wednesday.

Medusa walked ahead and opened a door and grinned wickedly at us. "Enjoy your room," she said, and the dracanea shoved us in the room and slammed the door shut.

"Now what do we do?" Kalia asked, glancing around. The room was empty, except for a few cardboard boxes. She walked over to the small window 7 feet above the floor. "Too small..." she muttered to herself.

I stepped over to the door and jiggled the handle, but it was locked, as expected. I kicked the door, frustrated, but only succeeded in bruising my toes.

Kalia sighed. "Well that worked well. Nice job on taunting the monsters, Percy. Do we have any weapons?"

Percy grinned. "Thank you. Would it make you like me more if I said yes?" He pulled a pen out of his pocket and pulled off the cap. It turned into his bronze sword.

I raised my eyebrows, impressed. "One by one, your secrets are revealed. You know how to pick a lock?"

Percy shook his head. "You?"

"Yup," I said, holding out my hand for him to give me the sword. He handed it to me, and I walked over to the door. Leaning down, I inspected the lock. I carefully inserted the sword into the lock, trying my best not to make any noise.

"When did you learn to pick locks?" Percy said, but I waved the question off.

"Not to be mean, but this isn't as easy as it looks so if you would kindly be quiet..." A minute later the lock clicked and I handed Percy his sword back.

He opened the door and swung his sword at the dracanea who was guarding the door and she exploded into yellow dust before she knew what had happened. We dashed down the hall, trying to find our way out. Percy killed every monster we encountered, until we came to a large room filled with all kinds of monsters. "What is going on?" Percy muttered. One of the monsters turned around and we ducked behind the door. Percy glanced around the corner. Then he looked back at us, frowning. "Echidna, the Chimera, a fury, harpies, hellhounds, dracaneas, even the Minotaur! They're all here!"

"What? Are those, like, Greek monsters?" Kalia peeked around the corner, and then turned back to us, eyes wide. "There's got to be 40 monsters in there, at least!" she whispered.

I pulled the charm I had broken off out of my pocket. It was my cluster mini grenades. "I have some grenades. Percy, we're relying on you, unless we find our weapons."

Percy nodded, his face serious. "If you can't find weapons, get out of here. I won't get hurt, but I can't protect you two."

I was confused about the whole 'Percy won't get hurt' part, but it wasn't the time to ask. "Ok, get ready..." I whispered, "Grenades," and the charm turned into real grenades. I leaned around the corner and tossed the grenades. The moment they exploded, Percy, Kalia and I dashed into the room. About half of the monsters had been disintegrated, making our job easier.

Percy started slashing at the monsters in a dizzying sequence of slashes while Kalia and I searched for out weapons.

"Here!" called Kalia, and I dashed over, grabbing my charm bracelet.

"Sword!" I commanded it, and my sword appeared in m hands. I grinned, turning to Kalia. "Lets fight!"
