OK my fifth chapter now, hope people are enjoying my story so far. The plots starting to progress so the chapters will be getting better from now on. Any way here's the next chapter and remember the more reviews I get the faster I update.

Percy's POV

By the time Percy and Blackjack landed on the beach he saw one of the girls (the one with wavy black hair) was lying unconscious in the sand while the other girl (the one with dark brown hair and turquoise eyes) was trying to fend off the beast with nothing but a branch.

After a couple of seconds Percy identified the monster as a Chimera. He remembered that he had battled one on his first quest to retrieve Zeus' lightning bolt when he was twelve.

Seeing that the brunette girl was doing okay for the moment, Percy went over to the other girl who was lying unconscious a few steps ahead of him. He knelt down beside her and checked her wrist and the side of her neck. He could feel a stable pulse so now he could turn his attention to the real problem. THE CHIMERA.

Percy saw the girl begin to falter. Her swings becoming sluggish as she struggled to swing the branch. The monster was pushing her backward. If he didn't help her soon she would be overpowered.

He pulled the pen out of his shorts pocket and clicked it so that his bronze sword, Riptide, was in his hand. Percy held the blade out in front of him and charged...

Cleo's POV

Cleo didn't see the black, winged horse land on the beach behind her, nor did she see the boy with messy black hair and sea green eyes running towards her with a bronze sword in his hand.

No Cleo was too busy trying to stop herself being eaten alive by a goat a lion and a snake. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the goat head fall to the floor by her left foot. She glanced to her left to see the boy; his sword dripping with a green liquid she could only guess was the monsters blood.

Cleo and the boy edged around so that they were stood on opposite sides of the beast. The boy pared against the snake tail. Fangs against sword. Cleo took on the lion head, hitting it with her branch until it was in a daze. She nodded at the boy and with one quick flick of his razor sharp blade the lion head dropped to the floor staining the surrounding sand with green blood. They then teamed up on either side on the snake until the snakes head landed on the sand in between them.

The beast's headless body dropped to the floor. Cleo flopped down on the sand next to it breathing heavily.

"What *gasp* was that thing" She asked the boy breathlessly.

"That was the chimera, son of echidna" replied the boy looking at her " I'm Percy by the way" He said holding out his hand.

"I'm Cleo." She said before taking his hand and pulled herself to her feet. She wiped her hand on her jeans "who's echidna"

"Echidna's...WAIT" "You haven't seen echidna yet?" questioned Percy.

Cleo shook her head "Why, should I have?" She asked.

"Oh no oh no oh no" muttered Percy just loud enough so Cleo could hear before rushing off to Cleo's sister was led unconscious.

Cleo chased after him wondering what possibly could have gotten him so worried. When she could up with him she saw he was stood where she had watched her sister fall to the floor earlier. There was only one problem.

Her sister wasn't there...

This chapter a little bit longer to make up for the last one which was a little but short. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
