Chapter 2 Taylor's PoV

After dinner, cake, and ice cream. I got to open present, from Dereck and his family I got an javelin, from Jack and his family well Jack and his dad ten drachamas which I smiled nervously at because they probaly stole it hense their last name is Stoll *shiver*, You know what Willow and her family got me, my family got me a new Yankee/invisibilty hat cause I lost my first one in the East River when I was six and a half.(Which was seven and a half years ago sadly.) oh and as a joke my dad got me dolphin pj pants. ~I hate my dad~. Since my birthday is on July fourth there is always fireworks unless it rains (Which never happens cause of my gramps Poseidon.) When we were out watching the fireworks and running around with sparkalers which the Stoll's probaly stole again *shiver... again*. "Hey Taylor can we go for a walk?" Dereck asked. When he said that I looked at my dad and he nodded at me like an apporval.
"Yeah lets go before my dad or my mom change their minds." I said. Then we laughed then. When we started to walk it was really quiet. I kicked a stone then made it dissolve with my water powers. Finally Dereck said something.
"You know the present my family gave you?" Derck said.
"Yeah. You do know that was just thirty minutes ago." I said. Then he said a sarcastic no.
"Yeah well um... I got ya another present too." Dereck said. He grabbed something out of his pocket. It was a jewlery box but longer. When he handed it to me, I opened it right away. It was a charm braclet with an owl, a sword, and a trident.
"Oh wow... Dereck it's beautiful gods thank you!" I said hugging."C-can you put it on I'm horrible at putting on braclets." I said. I was still hugging him.
"Taylor are you crying?" he asked. Once he put on my braclet. I laughed nervously and shook my head no. Then he laughed. Then we heard a growl. I whirled around my braid whipping Dereck in the ear. He muttered ow and I muttered sorry. Then we heard about ten more growls surrounding us.
"Hello is anyone there?" I asked. Then we heard a slither.
"Now what do we have here?" A voice that sounded really familiar said.
"Who are you?" Dereck asked. We heard another growl this one sounded really close and I backed up into Dereck who drew his sword to protect me.(I guess or its just self defense.)
"Now honey don't work yourssselvesss up. Lord Kronosss doesssn't like worked up demigodsss." I heard the voice say.
"Dereck," I whispered "I know what they are now. They are dracnea and hellhounds worse they are workers for Kronos." I whispered.
"I heard her say that part about Kronos you know." he said. I did a sarcastic no. "Try to call for help." he said.
"Okay I'll try, just get ready for an attack." I said. I took a deep breath. "DAD HELP!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. Like I predicted the dracnea and hellhounds came from hiding I pulled out my Yankees hat and put it on and turned invisible. When Dereck saw he was the only one fighting, yet he saw that they were dissolving so he was shocked. Finally my dad appeared with riptide and my mom with her dagger but when she saw that I wasn't there and only Dereck was there she whispered something to my dad and ran back to the house. All the sudden I don't know how but a hell hound found my scent and bounced on me. My hat fell off and I hit the ground hard which knocked the air out of me.
"TAYLOR!" I heard Dereck say. I heard someone run up and jump over me and killed the hellhound. When I tried to get up I instantly felt dizzy.
"Dad?" I croaked still out of breath. He bent down and picked me up and started to run toward the house. "Dad what about Dereck?" I croaked again. he smiled then handed me to my mom who whispered that I'll be okay. Once she got me to the house I relized that I can't feel my legs. "Momma I can't feel my legs." I said still out of breath.
"It's alright sweety Chiron will be here in a couple minutes with Malcom and Tyson don't worry. I'm so glad your alright." She said then hugged me. I groaned. "Sorry..." all the sudden My dad, Dereck, and Grover came in. My dad whispered something to my mom who started to cry. She whispered no and then looked at me and Dereck and ran out of the house with my dad and Grover on her tail.
"Wh-what happened Dereck?" I asked still out of breath. He shushed me and said it would be alright. He looked out the window. "Dereck where's my brothers?" I said sitting up from the couch. He looked at me.
"I'm sorry Taylor. They disapeared with Willow and Jack." He said. I started to cry. He tried to comfort me but I pushed him away and started to run up to my room but collapsed along the way. "Taylor look I'm sorry about what happened to your little brothers. I-I should have protected them and..." He said.
"Dereck its not your fault you were trying to protect me." I said. I looked at him and I think I saw a tear flow down his face. "C-can you help me up to my room so I can get some nector." I said. He nodded and put his arm around me and helped me up the stairs. Once we got up stairs I accedently hit my leg on one of my various dressers and tried to hold back my screech but I evidently did a small screech in his ear. "S-sorry Dereck I didn't mean to-" I said to Dereck, but he cut me off.
"No, harm done here I'll set you on your bed and then tell me where your nectar is." He said setting me on my bed, and finally told him that it was under my bed. Then he found it after taking out many, many things from under my bed. Finally we heard the doorbell I started to get up but Dereck made me sit down and take a drink of Nectar as he goes downstairs with sword in hand.
