Two chapters in one day? Wow, proud of myself.A few days after that series of unfortunate events btw (you guys better catch my reference)

Percy sat on the soft dirt and hard rock, sharpening his knife. Luke sat next to him, humming an old lullaby his mother used to sing to him. Thalia was laying down, staring up at the sky that was a pinkish orange as the sun slowly set. Annabeth was reading some book by a dude named Lemony Snicket.

Percy finished sharpening his knife and admired his work and cut his arm to see if it was sharp enough. Sure enough, it was, and blood leaked down the new cut on his arm. He smiled and pulled down his hoodie sleeve to cover it up. Luke stopped humming and stood up.

"Alright guys, we're almost to camp, we need to keep going." Luke announced. Percy nodded and helped Thalia up, Annabeth put her book into her backpack and they were on their way again.

"Hey Percy?"

"Yeah, Luke?"

"Y'know I never asked, who's your godly parent?"

Percy smirked, "Hades. I'm a death boy." Luke nodded and smiled at him, which kinda took Percy by surprise, as he expected Luke to be scared of him. "Um... who's your parent, Luke?"

"Hermes. I'm a theif boy." Luke said, snickering. Percy laughed and shoved him. "So, Thalia's a daughter of Hades?" Luke asked.

Percy frowned. "No, she's a daughter of Zeus. Our mom would go into these drunk ramblings. She said Hades was there first, they had me, Hades had to leave for my safety, and then Zeus came and they had Thalia and... Jason." Percy muttered. Luke nodded and felt bad for making him sad again.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the bushes beside them. Luke pulled out Backbiter, Percy pulled out his knife that he named Silver Lightning, Annabeth pulled out her golden dagger, and Thalia put up her fists.

They didn't really expect a satyr to stumble out. The satyr looked around wildly until his eyes focused onto the group. "Oh my gods! Luke, Annabeth, two demigods I don't know yet! We need to go, now." The satyr was breathing heavily and spoke in a panicked voice. Luke nodded to Grover and they started to run.

"Grover, what's happening?" Annabeth asked, looking scared.

"Monsters. A ton of them. I think coming for you guys." Grover said. Thalia and Percy's eyes widened and they started to run faster.

"Papa's minions. He's angry at Zeus for having Thalia with the lady he already got busy with. Zeus also probably wants to kill me because he's a hypocrite." Percy told Luke. Luke huffed and nodded. They ran until they found themselves in the middle of a clearing, monsters surrounding them as they licked their fangs, ready for teeth to pierce flesh.

From where he stood, Percy saw the entrance to Camp Half-Blood. The only way he could tell that it was the camp, were the bold letters on a sign telling him and everyone else that it was. Percy growled and fought with himself for a moment before turning to his sister.

"Thals. Run, okay? Help Grover get Luke and Annabeth into safety." Percy told her.

"Percy, no-"

"Don't try to convince me not to. I love you, okay, sis? Remember that, forever and always." Percy said, planting a kiss on her forehead and pushing her away. Tears rolled down her cheeks but she nodded and got everyone to follow her.

Percy made sure they were a good distance away before getting into a fighting position. He knew these monsters would try to kill him, even if he was Hades' son. Percy closed his eyes and focused hard until there was a tug in his gut and a small army of skeletons behind him, holding swords.

Then, all hell broke loose. Hellhounds bounced forward, empousai hissed and tried to cut Percy with knives and eat him alive, all three furies snapping their whips and flying towards him. Percy became a whirlwind, trying to live for his sister. He was about to turn a hellhound into dust, but its claws raked against his chest, blood spilling to the ground as he fell to his knees and tried to stand back up.

The monsters took this advantage though, clawing and biting and slicing him, until he was covered in blood. Percy crawled away as fast as he could, the horde not too far away. He got as far as he could before he collapsed. The boundaries of Camp Half-Blood. He looked up to the stormy clouds and smirked. 'At least I went out with a fight. And Thalia's safe. Good job, Perce.' He thought to himself, closing his eyes as a bright light appeared. Zeus was trying to get the last laugh and sent lightning to kill him. It didn't work though, and an hour later, there stood a large tree, protecting the camp.

woot woot
