Semi screwed

Piper

Before any of us could even step towards Anna Percy was already there. He pulled the sword out of her chest and Annabeth cried out. He immediately turned his attention towards her face. He leaned down and kissed her. This seemed to relax Annabeth as well as him so I decided to try a few steps forward.

That was a mistake. Percy leaped up and I was glad to see that his eyes were green again but still utterly terrifying. He suddenly thrust his hands up in the air and screamed causing the ground to open up before me. Jason yanked me back out of the way just as about a dozen skeletal warriors erupted out of the ground before my feet. These however were not you're everyday skeleton. They were glowing black and In seconds they had formed a tight shield wall around Percy and Anna's position. Nico stepped forward and ordered the things to step aside but they only responded by drawing their swords.

I knew there was no saving Anna but I still wanted be by her side. I peered over the skeletons shield and saw Percy kneeling over his girlfriend. They exchanged a few words and I gasped as Anna's head slumped slightly back. I collapsed on the ground and sobbed. I knew I should try to be strong but I couldn't, Anna had pretty much been our leader and I already knew we were going to be lost without her.

Well this day has sucked. More than usual that is, most days do any way. I wasn't sure what to think of these skeletons but I decided I'd worry about them later because they seemed to be under control for now. My main priority was the situation around me. I could sense that Annabeth had just died and almost immediately heard Percy yelling my name and the skeletons parted before me. I stumbled forward and crouched down next to Percy. All the fury seemed to have been drained right out of him as he stared in emptiness down at Annabeth."I-is she," yes she's gone I interrupted. I felt guilty about my rudeness immediately but he didn't seem to care. He slumped and muttered he would be ready to go in a second.

At first I was worried about having to fight our way out but it was clear that wasn't a problem for Percy. He emerged from the circle carrying Annabeth bridal style and right away the skeletons formed a defensive line behind us. We began to march, well more like stumble towards the exit.

After about five minutes we encountered two drachne but before I could even draw Backbiter Percy had flicked his hand and separated all the blood from their body causing them to shrivel up and dissolve. Hazel and Piper screamed in surprise. Terrifying yet awesome (sorry, it's the hades in me). We finally made it to the surface half an hour later and were greeted by a exited Reyna and coach hedge when they saw Percy emerge from the tunnel alive. Then they noticed what was in his arms.
