Hey there! I've got an announcement to make! But first, read this chapter kay? Then review!

Disclaimer: I don't own POJ.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

If you want to know what I'm seeing, don't, it'll probably the last thing you'll ever see.

But if your persistent, like me, just imagine big, blue and burly gigantic people hurtling for about 60 miles per hour towards shocked campers and seeing them panic, you maybe will be able to imagine what were seeing right now.

I raced to the Chiron and asked, " Chiron, how many are there?"

" About 10." He looked grave and began loading his bow. I took that answer as final and attacked the nearest giant that I found.

I saw a camper in black was injured and clutched his broken leg. He was a gonner for sure. The big ugly man towered above him and raised his club to strike.

I race towards them and grabbed the boy's arm and yanked him out of there before the club came to contact with his body.

" Hey ugly! Why don't you fight someone that may actually stand a chance?" the giant responded to his new name and aimlessly charged. I dodge it and began stabbing ramdom parts. But he didn't vanish into dust like I wanted him to do, but turned around, more aggravated, and roared before charging again.

This time, I was ready. I side stepped his charge and stabbed my celestial bronze sword with his side. He roared again and swung his club, blindly from pain.

Unfortunately, one of the thorn on his club pierced through my armor and stab me in my side stomach. I groaned in pain and felt the blood trickle down my side.

Back and white dots danced in my vision and I tried hard not to faint. The giant saw my defeat and swung his club victoriously.

I closed my eyes in defeat and waited for the pain to come. But it didn't. I weakly opened my eyes and saw the injured camper I saved battle the giant and did the final blow on his head. With a loud groan, the giant finally disappeared.

The remains of the giant was only a pile of yellow powder and my sword. He picked it up and held it in his other hand. He limply went to my side and handed me my sword.

" I said never to get in my way." , he said as he brushed past by. In normal occasions, I would be able to make an intelligent comeback, but now I just feel faint.

And before I could do any more, or even look for the surrounding giants that may be left, my knees buckled under me. I closed my eyes and felt the wind howl in my ears as I fell face forward.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

(a/n: I'm not that evil!)

" Shh! Nico! See, she's waking up." A voice in the darkness said.

I opened my eyes and looked around me, taking in my surroundings as my eyes adjusted to the light. I could faintly see the two silhouettes that stood in the foot of my bed.

" And the zombie awakes! For a minuet there, I thought I'll have to live with your ghost haunting me." The boy said. He tried to look cool but I could see him being relieved.

" Don't mind him. Kiara right? I'm Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. The gothic kid," there was a interjection of 'hey!' here, " is Nico di Angelo, son of Hades."

The boy, Nico, snorted, " Like she didn't know that already." And Annabeth just rolled her eyes.

" We all can't be fan girls Nico."

" Hey, just because you have a boyfriend, doesn't mean you can't appreciate art." He smiled cockily.

" Okay, Nico, okay. Were all inferior to your ego. Now we have to take her to the dining pavilion. She might be hungry for having to sleep in three days." I gaped at her.

" Three days?" Nico laughed at my reaction.

" Don't worry squirt, nothing happened too much in that short period."

" First, I don't care that nothing happened! Second, DON'T CALL ME SQUIRT!"

" Whatever. Come on squirt." He said walking outside. Annabeth just smiled apologetically at me.

" Don't know why he's acting like that. But don't worry. He's really a nice kid after you passed his ego."

" I heard that!" Nico yelled from outside.

I inwardly groaned. Isn't he the one that usually barks and growls at me? What made hi change?

I stood up and walked inside the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. A girl with red hair with black natural highlights and green eyes stared back at me. Her eyes were puffy from sleeping too much and her hair were tangled. Great. I talked to complete strangers and they saw me in the bed head look.

When I finally got my hair tamed and got freshen up, I walked out to find the room empty. I sighed and walked out. The sun's rays greeted me and my sensitive pale white skin tingled. Nico was in the porch and just sat there, looking quite bored.

When he saw me, his eyes widened. I raised my eyebrow quizzically but he just shook his head.

" So….where's Annabeth?"

" She got Chiron and told him your awake."

" Well that's….good I suppose." I said rather awkwardly.

" Believe me, the camp was really on the edge, wondering if your going to be dead or not." He shook his head again. His hair falling on his eyes making him look more…..sexy?

" Oh…. Okay." I looked to the direction were heading and saw the ocean. " Can we stop for a while?" I asked. Nico nodded and I walked to the beach, pulling my shoes off and waded in the water. I closed my eyes and let myself feel the breeze caress my hair. In the exact moment, I felt all my energy restore and my body was refreshed again. I always loved the beach. It always calmed my nerves.

" You okay?" Nico asked me after a while. I peeked over my shoulder and gave him a smile.

" Fine." Then he gasp. I turned quickly to face him and saw him staring at me. 'how rude!' I thought at the first look but realize that he was actually staring above me!

As I looked up, I saw a fading hologram of a three pointed fork: a triton. Symbol of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

I didn't know what to feel. Angry, for claiming me just now, happy, for even claiming me.

But for now I'll just have to stick with ' Oh great. Claim me now before I will die in the near future.'

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
