Just a short chapter guys. You could say that this is a filler, but the transition of the storyf rom the last chapter to the one after this would be a lot smoother if I posted this, so…
ENJOY! (and review XD)

All around us was chaos. Monsters have practically invaded the gym, killing random students, and generally causing mass panic. To my right, I think I saw Percy pull out…was that a sword? Annabeth held a knife in her hand. Carter was holding something like a candy cane and some sort of whip in his hands, and Zia was holding a flaming staff. They were all taking on the monsters, but there were just too many.
My instincts told me to run, but for some reason, my body reacted differently. I immediately snuck behind and grabbed a sword from one of those snake/woman things, and stabbed it at the back before it could even turn around. My heart was pulsing, my blood boiling. It was like I had an extra surge of adrenaline rush, but what's weirder was that I felt more…relaxed, somehow, like fighting was what I was born for. I wasn't panicking, freaking out, or even feeling guilty over my first kill, but instead, it felt…natural.
"Hold!" shouted Percy, while fending off two of those one-eyed giants once. He stabbed at one with her sword, and it melted to dust at once. The other one was more cunning than its companion, making space between them after each strike. Unfortunately, it made the mistake of backing off too much, and was stabbed in the back by none other than Annabeth. Carter raised his candy cane thingy, and monsters were blasted into dust. As the battle raged on, a strong flash of light suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield, blinding both sides. I shielded my eyes. It was the most intense light I've ever seen in my life, and it would've probably blinded me had I not looked away just in time.
When the light died, two men in golden and silver armor, respectively, were standing in the middle of the gym. The one in the golden armor looked at me, and I recognized him.
"William?" I was too stunned to say anything else. It was a lot to take in, the building exploding, those weird creatures attacking, and me actually killing one of them. Then I remembered the sword. I looked at my hand, praying that it was all just a dream, but then I saw it. The sword. It was gripped tightly in my hand, and before I could even try to throw it away, my body just sort of…reacted by itself, like basic instinct. I felt my entire arm draw back, and throw the sword at William. It impaled him at the center of his head, right in the middle of his eyes, but he just laughed it off like it was a mosquito bite. He pulled the sword right out of his head. The others regrouped from the light, and the fight continued.
He smirked in my direction. "You have to do a lot better than that, my niece."
Niece? Since when did I even have an uncle? As far as I know, my mother was an only child. William glanced at the sword in his hand. He threw it back with blinding speed, and it landed just in front of me.
"Pick it up. We could use a challenge." Gritting my teeth, I picked up the sword again. It didn't actually feel balanced in my hand, and felt like another hand was sewn onto mine. Furthermore, I didn't even know how to use the thing!
William turned to his partner. "Find the boy." He ordered. The other guy grunted, and started walking calmly towards me, like he was totally oblivious to the fight. I raised the sword in defense, but he just laughed and pushed me out of the way.
Then, I remembered something. Where the hell was Ariston?
I know, very short, but wait for the one tomorrow!
