So, uh, that took longer than I expected. Uhh, sorry? I actually got writers block, which is why it took longer than a week. Anyway I finally found the time to update. Hope you guys like it.

mizzstargirl: They'll figure it out near the end.

jackseaweedjackson: You'll have to wait for the explanation in the story to find out.

SO YEAH, THEY WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO ASKED QUESTIONS :)

Peace!

Annabeth's POV

Okay, when I first heard the roar I knew monsters were back. My reaction was immediate. I grabbed my knife and cap which were just lying next to me, yelled at my siblings to wake up, and ran out the door. Most of the cabin leaders were already mobilizing their brothers and sisters and preparing to defend camp. Everyone was armed and fully awake except for those who were still in their pajamas.

"Malcolm! Malcolm!," I called out.

"Ahh, yeah?" he yawned, his hair standing.

"Grab a weapon and get everyone ready." I instructed. "We're going in a few minutes".

He blinked his eyes twice, straightened his hair, and gave me a nod. "On it", he said.

"Annabeth!", someone said behind me.

I whirled around. It was Nico. He looked just like his normal self. Black clothes and his sword was tucked on his side. He didn't look like someone who was unconscious earlier.

"Well you're looking good considering that you were passed out earlier.", I commented.

"Yeah", he said, looking at himself. "I guess I do."

"Does Thalia know?", I asked.

"Does she know what?"

I punched him on the arm. "That you're not unconscious dummy."

"Oh yeah." He smacked his head. "That's what I'm forgetting. See you later!", he called out.

"If I'll be alive till later.", I muttered to myself. Then I scolded myself for thinking like it. But it was Percy would have said. Stop, don't think about Percy. You don't want to think about Percy. You dont want to think about Percy. I kept repeating to myself.

I didn't want to think about him because I didn't want to end up crying.

Thankfully the fact that camp would be destroyed if we don't stop the monsters would help keep my mind off him.

"Campers mobilize!", Clarisse's voice blared. (Sounded a little Transformers-ish, sorry 'bout that)

Malcolm already gathered my-our siblings and they were all dressed for battle. We were ready. But so is the enemy. They were already marching towards us. I gripped my knife and put my invisibility cap on.

I was already halfway between the monsters and the campers when Clarisse yelled, "ATTACK!"

Chaos broke out. The monsters roared, growled, and hissed. And the campers just plainly yelled. I fixed my first target as an empousa. I yelled just like the others and threw my knife at its head. The knife sank to its hilt into its forehead.

The empousa writhed on the ground as it fell, making shrieking noises. But its misery didn't last long as it exploded into dust.

I knelt and picked up my knife, looking for my next target. But something hit me in the shoulder so hard it made me scream. And I was probably heard throughout the woods.

Percy's POV

I jumped from tree to tree avoiding most or all of the monsters. I knew that the scream I heard was from Annabeth. I'd know her voice from anywhere. It dawned on me that the campers were outnumbered. I had to do something.

But then I saw her. Annabeth was slumped on the ground, her shoulder bleeding. A hellhound had bit her in the shoulder. It was still near her, ready to pounce in a few moments. So I did the first thing that came to my mind.

I threw Riptide at it and the sword found a home in the monster's side. It howled in pain before dissolving into dust. I put my hood on and well, teleported to Annabeth's side. By now, my body grew used to teleporting that I didn't feel so tired after doing it.

Annabeth's skin was cold and her face was pale white. I had to get her to the Big House and heal her there but the campers will get annihilated if I don't do something.

I could see Thalia fighting 3 monsters at once, Travis and Connor fighting back-to-back slashing and hacking at the monsters. Even Nico, who seemed to have recovered from the last battle, was summoning skeleton reinforcements. Most of the Apollo campers were behind the fighting and were notching arrow after arrow at the monster army.

But it didn't seem to be enough. They needed help. My help.

So I stood up and turned toward the beach.

I concentrated on the water and willed it to come to me. Slowly, gallons of water floated towards me. I sucked in a deep breath and threw my hands at the monster army's direction. All the water that was floating above my head rushed to the enemy's direction, taking all of them in its currents.

My knees felt weak and my head ached. It took all of my will power to remain standing. But I found the strength to pick Annabeth up and teleport to the Big House. I then set her down on a nearby bed and got some nectar and ambrosia from a shelf.

I gave some to her and just stayed there for a while staring at her. Even if she's passed out, she was very pretty. No not just pretty, she was...beautiful.

But my time with her was limited as the door flew open and Chiron, Thalia, Clarisse, Nico, and most of the cabin leaders burst in.

Clarisse came forward and pointed her sword at me. "Who are you!", she demanded.

I stood up, my hood still down so they cant see me.

I just smiled at them and concentrated on a park in Switzerland. I needed some time to take a break and rest. And the park was a perfect choice.

Then I teleported and left them alone in the Big House to tend to Annabeth. And as I left, I could swear I heard Annabeth mumble my name.

Yeah, so.. sorry that wasn't very long. But it was all I could come up with for now.

Peace!
