This is now the same time as Annabeth's and other Camp Half Blood people's POV (six months after Percy's disappearance and Jason's appearance) Enjoy!

Chapter 13: Reyna

Reyna woke up feeling refreshed and happy. It was about six months after Percy's arrival, and he wasn't that bad a guy. But sometimes, Percy reminded her of Jason. Some people who knew thought it was stupid, but Percy kept all his stuff from the past, like his shirt and some necklace he was wearing, with him. Reyna could understand that he wanted some link to his past. Some part of her didn't want him to remember anything, but recently he had been distracted during lessons, and Reyna could guess that he had remembered something, or a part of something, and was trying to put it into something whole. But she didn't want him to leave, which she knew he would when he remembered where he came from. Maybe, just maybe, she was starting to have a little crush on Percy.

Reyna shook herself out of her thoughts and looked at her alarm clock. It read, 10:06. Wow, she had slept in. There was only half and hour of breakfast left!

Reyna hurried down to the pavilion to find it almost empty, most people were already training. She scarfed down a quick breakfast and ran to find Percy, Hazel, Bobby, and Dakota. She wanted to go monster hunting.

"Hey what's up?" Percy asked when she found him. He was feeding the pegasus. Rumor was that he could talk to them, but Reyna didn't know whether or not to believe that.

"Want to go monster hunting?" she asked. "I'm thinking Hazel, Dakota, and Bobby can go with us."

"Sure," he said, feeding one last apple to the pegasus, and they quickly found the other three. Hazel was at the archery range (no surprise), Bobby was at the forges (again, no surprise), and Dakota had sword practice.

They set off into the forest, Reyna leading. Soon the group heard a rustle in the trees. Everybody froze.

"Surround it," Reyna whispered. "When I give the command, charge."

The group spread out. Reyna ended up with Bobby on her left and Dakota on her right. The rustling was definitely coming from in front of them, in the middle of their circle.

"Now!" Reyna yelled. They charged into the center, only to collide into each other and almost get shishk-a-bobed by one another.

"Dude!" yelled Bobby indignantly. "Watch it, you almost ran me through!" he was yelling at Percy.

"Way to state the obvious," Dakota smirked.

"Where is it?" Reyna shouted, furious. "I'm sure we had it surrounded!"

"Um, guys?" Hazel said nervously, and pointed up.

Sitting on the branch of a large tree was a monster. But it wasn't a monster that was normally stocked in the woods. Sitting on the branch was the Hydra.

"Scatter!" Reyna yelled, just as it breathed fire downwards onto them.

Everybody ran in different directions. Percy ended up behind the monster with Reyna next to him. She nodded, and they both charged before it could turn around. Percy took a stab at its foot, distracting it while Reyna climbed up its back. She knew that if she sliced any of the heads off, two more would regrow. But Bobby didn't. The heads were flailing around in all different directions, and Reyna planned to stab it at the base where all the heads came together, which she figured would be a weak point.

Bobby was on the ground, and he rolled away as one head tried to smash him. Instead, the head smashed into the ground next to him. Before it could raise the head, Bobby raised his sword.

Reyna saw what was happening and shouted "Bobby, NO!" but it was too late. He sliced off the head, looking triumphant. Then terrified when two more heads grew back. Reyna thought, serves him right.

"Bobby, you just opened a monster donut shop somewhere!" Percy yelled.

What the heck? Reyna didn't have time to ponder.

But Reyna's loss of concentration cost her, and she slipped just as the reached the spot she wanted to stab, and had to hang on to one of the necks for dear life.

"Reyna!" Dakota yelled, while dodging another head. "Hang on!" No shit. I wasn't planning on falling to my death. Reyna thought as the head tried to fling her off. Then Reyna had an idea. If you cut off its head, then two more grow back. But what if you stab its neck? Would the head die?

Reyna tried it, and to her luck, it worked, but not in the way she expected. Reyna thought that just stabbing the neck of the head she was on was going to make the neck bleed and injure it, but instead, the whole neck and head turned to dust, and suddenly there was nothing to hold on to.

"Reyna!" Hazel's voice this time. Just as she thought she was going to hit the ground and get splattered into Reyna pie, she felt another body slam into her and break her fall. She groaned and turned over to see Percy lying a few feet away. Thankfully, though, he got up and went over to her.

"Um Reyna, you all right?" he asked her. Reyna tried pushing herself off the ground, but she felt as if her left shoulder had been twisted. She must have landed on it funny and gotten it dislocated. She stood up anyways, and what she saw made her gasp in horror.

In the place of where she had stabbed the neck were now two more heads. Was there no loophole? Reyna groaned.

"You could let us take care of it and maybe later see if Hazel had anything for your shoulder." Percy said doubtfully, thinking that Reyna was groaning because of the pain in her shoulder.

"No way." Reyna gritted her teeth through the pain, and charged at the monster's back again. Again she climbed up the spine, it was harder this time because of her shoulder, but she reached the base of the necks and drove her sword hilt-deep into the monster's body.

The hydra was a big monster, so, just as Reyna had expected, it took a few moments to disintegrate. She had just enough time to run back down the length of the monster before it dissipated completely.

"Well." Dakota said, blowing some hair out of her face. "That was exciting." The others nodded.

"I think you dislocated your shoulder." Hazel said, who was inspecting Reyna's shoulder.

They walked back to camp and Reyna and Hazel went towards the infirmary, while the others went to their cabins to get cleaned up, and then to lunch. Hazel gave Reyna some ambrosia, and her shoulder instantly felt better. What Reyna hadn't been expecting was for Hazel to yank her arm so hard it nearly popped out of its socket.

"OW!" Reyna gasped. "What the hell was that for?"

"I was resetting your shoulder." Hazel replied. "Nectar or ambrosia can do that, but you would burn up before you got enough." What Hazel said was true. Too much nectar or ambrosia for a demigod, and they'd turn to ashes. Literally. Hazel gave Reyna some nectar to drink. The pain subsided.

"Want to go get lunch?" Hazel asked casually.

Reyna glared at her for a moment, then realized she was overreacting to Hazel. Hazel had just fixed her shoulder, hadn't she? "Sure," Reyna replied. "If we're not already too late."

They were just in time. After Reyna finished lunch, Hazel suggested that she go to her cabin to rest for a little bit. Part of Reyna disagreed, but the other part knew that Hazel was right. What would be the point in dislocating your shoulder a second time that day?

But something strange happened as Reyna was heading back to her cabin. Far away in the sky, she saw a black speck hurtling towards them. When Reyna realized it was a boat, a flying boat, what she understood was that the people in it were enemies attacking the camp. The boat was hurtling straight towards the central area. It was seconds away before Reyna got over her shock and yelled, as loudly as she could, "ATTACK!"

Thx for reading guys! Plz review! (I think u know who the people in the boat are lol)

Tell me if you don't like cliffhangers, personally, I like suspense.
