AN: Sorry this took so long, my life got hectic and the new book came out and I needed to read in a few hours and it was amazing. I am now reading it for the third time.
I turned around, wearily, tired of monsters attacking me every which way. The two women slowly began to turn scaly, kind of like snakes or my old math teacher. Their legs slowly began to elongate and round at the end until they had two legs that resembled snake butts.
"Dracanae!" Thalia shouted and she jabbed one of her arrows into the snake woman closest to her.
I began to jab at the snake-woman and, finally, my knives actually pierced something, without doing something special to kill it. I began to slice with more gusto now that I knew they would be easier to kill, but out of nowhere a knife appeared in the Dracanae's hand and she stabbed me with it.
"Damn it!" I cursed, stabbing her in the abdomen. She gave me one last look of pure hate and turned into dust.
I looked over at the other Dracanae to see that Alex and Thalia had already taken care of her. I quickly tore off a piece of my shirt and I wrapped it around the cut that the Dracanae had given me. The rest of the ride up no one uttered a word and it became one of those uncomfortable silences that you get when your girlfriend and parents meet.
"Ding!" The elevator slowly slid open, revealing the most beautiful suite in the world.
It had plush couches, which I imagined I could sink into, a huge TV, a great view of Miami, a hot tub, white marble floors, and a giant, drinking Coke and watching the Mets game. It seemed like such a normal scene that it was hard for me to realize that I was supposed to kill the giant.
"So, you finally got here," the giant mused, "my son and two unimportant half-bloods."
"I have no father," I snarled. I was relieved that he didn't do a Darth Vader impression: "Jon, I am your father." The first minute of meeting my dad and he would have embarrassed me; it's a good thing that I hated him.
He chuckled to himself, "Keep denying it, but we even have the same face."
"Yeah," I began sarcastically, "I'm going to have to disagree because if that were true then either you would be good-looking or I would be ugly and it's neither of those."
He got up slowly, probably wanting to talk more, but I loosed an arrow, landing it right on his forehead. I had turned him into a giant unicorn that enjoyed drinking Coke and I loved it. He, obviously, did not appreciate his new look because out of the blue black armor appeared on him and he was holding two lethal looking swords.
"That was the biggest mistake of your puny life," he growled at me.
My dad launched himself towards us and we began the fight for our lives. He could always block our attacks, easily, as if we had never held weapons in our lives. Suddenly, when he was recoiling Alex jabbed at him, but with a sweep of his hand he made her go flying across the room.
"Alex!" I yelled, but all she did was moan in response, "Thalia, go take care of Alex. I can hold this dip shit here while you make sure she's okay."
"Are you sure?" Thalia asked, worry showing in her eyes.
"Just go!" I shouted and Thalia detached herself from the fight to take care of Alex.
Once Thalia had gone to take care of Alex Ouranos turned on me with a sick grin plastered on his face, this was not going to be easy. He charged at me and I rolled out of the way as his two swords made indentations in the marble floor. I decided not to waste time shooting an arrow, instead I just flung one at him and it got stuck in his armor.
He growled angrily at me and he charged again. This time I didn't roll out of the way, but instead I just leapt on top of him. I pierced his armor with one of my knives, but he bucked me off like a bull. I landed on my back and I slid backwards a few feet. My vision began to tunnel and everything was turning black. I saw him walk towards me, but then I blacked out.
I woke up off and on and I heard some conversation, but I was too disoriented to recognize what they were saying.
AN: I know that was short, but I will make up for it! And there is something in my story that will be similar to the book, but I came up with the idea before the book came out. Rick came up with it first, but whatever.
