I don't own PJO.
Annabeth's POV
I grabbed my knife and ran towards the beast. It snarled at me and glared. I saw it come forward and got my knife ready. Once it was close enough, I stabbed it where it would hurt the most. It hissed and disappeared into yellow dust.
I turned to face Percy and he nodded. We were in the woods, practicing our fighting skills. We had killed many monsters but I knew there were millions of them hidden somewhere.
Percy sighed and scratched the back of his head. I smirked.
" Tired yet, Seaweed Brain?"
" You wi-"
My eyes widened. I saw a huge hellhound, probably bigger than Mrs. Oleary jump on him. It curled its lip and hissed.
" Where did-"
" Shut up!" I hissed. The thing was huge and I needed a plan to kill it.
Its face got closer to his and growled. I gripped my knife tightly and put on my invisibility cap. I walked towards it slowly, not wanting to make a sound.
I knew Percy had Achillies heel, but it looked like the kelp head forgot.
I was right behind it, so close you could almost smell the sour smell monsters have. I almost gagged.
I was about to hit it when I felt a hard wind pass by. My invisibility cap came off and I stepped back, making a crunching sound.
The Hellhound turned around and growled at me. It paws were on Percy's chest while it glared at me.
I saw Percy grab Riptide and started try and shake the thing off. It growled once more and came closer to me, probably changing its mind as to who he wanted to kill.
The dryads whispered to each other, making me lose concentration. It was almost too late for me to react when the beast bounced to me.
I thought it was going to kill me when I saw it dissolved. I looked around and saw Percy breathing heavily.
" Are you alright, Wise Girl?"
I smiled. " Thanks."
He grinned at me and wrapped his arms around me. " No problem."
I looked at his green orbs and stood on my tippy toes. He had gotten taller than me in the last year. I pressed my lips to his and I felt him smile. I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him closer to me.
" Why is it that you are always there when I'm not acting like Athena's daughter?" I asked once we pulled away.
He grinned. " There's only one reason."
" What?"
" You're important to me, Wise Girl. So.. I will always be there."
I love this that song. I'm really grateful to everyone who reviews in every chapter. Thanks! I hope you enjoyed!
