PERCY:

I am finally getting to go home. I've wanted to go home for as long as I got my memory back (which is not that long) but still.

"Come on," Annabeth said. It's time to go home."

Anyway, Annabeth and I were walking to the ship, silent because we had just witnessed the oddest couple in the history of demigod universe, get together. I mean, it was really awkward, because Reyna is so serious and Leo is so… NOT serious. When they were saying goodbye, I looked at Annabeth like, what the hell just happened? And she was like; For once I have no idea.

Once we got to the ship, Annabeth and I climbed up the huge ladder. Again, we were the first people on the ship, so I steered her toward my room.

"So what do we do now?" Annabeth asked me.

"Um…I don't know…" I stammered.

Then I thought "Dummy, take her to the secret room!"

"Want to go the secret room with me?" I asked.

"Okay," Annabeth agreed.

I put the password and pulled her into the room. We sat in beanbag in the corner.

Annabeth put her head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arm around her waist.

Annabeth looked up at me, and leaned in to kiss me.

We kissed for a while, until Leo turned on the radio which was coincidentally playing "Just the Way You Are" I laughed thinking how perfectly ironic that was. (A/N: I was listening to this song so I got the idea.)

Annabeth giggled. She rested her head on my chest and closed her eyes. Before I knew it we were both asleep.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Someone screamed. My eyes flew open. Annabeth was wide awake, her eyes clouded with fear. She had her dagger in her hand and was running toward the screaming. I jumped to my feet pulled Riptide out and followed Annabeth.

When we got to the deck where the screaming was the loudest, and found both Piper and Hazel screaming. I was about to ask "Why the hell are you screaming?" when I saw the monster. The thing was about 700 feet tall, and its mouth sprayed ice everywhere.

I yelled to Annabeth "What is that thing?"

She called back "The snow goddess' Khione sacred animal!"

'Wonderful. How are we supposed to fight a freaking snow breathing giant?' I thought to myself. Wait. I know.

"LEO! GET UP HERE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. If that boy was taking a nap, I'm going to splash him with ice cold water to wake him up.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT PERCY? I WAS TAKING A FREAKING NAP!" He hollered.

"THERE'S A DAMN SNOW BREATHING GIANT ABOUT TO KILL US WITH HIS ICE BREATH! YOU BETTER GET UP HERE, VALDEZ!" I shouted.

"Gods… Someone needs a chill pill." He muttered and burst into flames.
"Someone call for flaming Valdez?" he asked. I glared at him, like HELL YEAH!

"What's all this screaming about?" Jason yelled and stopped short when he saw the giant, pulled out his gladius and charged the monster, but before he could make contact and or stab the giant, Piper tackled Jason and charmspoke him to sit down until she told him to get up.

Finally, through all the chaos, one of my worst nightmares appeared.

"Bonjour, mes Amis, me manquer?"Said the snow goddess.

I knew she said

"Hello, my friends, missed me?"

Because Piper shouted (in English, thank the gods.) "You are not our friend, and we most definitely did not miss you!"

And in perfect English, Khione said

"Ah. But I did miss manipulating you annoying demigods."

She laughed, and Leo shot a ball of fire from his hand saying,

"And I missed trying to kill you."

"Hey, Jason?" Piper asked

"Yeah?" he questioned

"You should get up now." Piper commanded him.

That's when the monster overwhelmed all of us, and with a freezing shock, turned my friends and me into ice.

LEO:

Khione slashed at me with an ice whip, I dodged it. "Clam down, woman!" I yelled. Khione created a large ice pole and charged it at me. I jumped to the side and threw a fireball at her but it didn't harm her because she made an ice shield. I turned around. The others were fighting the monster. "Percy!" I yelled. He was in an ice cube. I turned my head back at the others "Oh Gods!" I shrieked.

My eyes widened when I saw that Jason and Annabeth were the only ones fighting the snow monster.

Piper was lying on the ground hurt; Frank, Hazel and Percy were completely frozen. That was it. Seeing my friends frozen was the final straw. This girl was going down. I turned back to Khione; before I could do anything she sent a huge ball of ice at me. I gasped and ducked. The ice sphere hit the wall, and she threw sphere after sphere at me but I was getting tired, I began to grow weaker. This room was too cold for me. I shook my head. I had to concentrate. WHOA! She threw a large snowball at me, and it hit my chest. I shivered my whole body felt tingly inside. Pain shot up my chest, making me so angry that I was losing a fight to a girl. I am Leo Valdez, and this girl can't beat me, I thought. My whole body burst into flames again, and the fire hit her face and she screamed. Khione fell to the ground but she quickly got up on her knees her with her head bent down. She was gasping for air. "Now's my chance, charge her while she's weak," I thought.

I took ten steps back and then charged. This girl was NOT going to hurt my friends. My body flamed with fire. I slammed into her and sent the goddess of snow flying towards the wall. She had made a massive crater in the wall, but I could fix that. That hole didn't matter right now. Now I was going to seriously fry a goddess. I flung a wall of fire into her, so the goddess and monster disintegrated. The snow around me instantly melted and my friends unfroze.

Annabeth and Jason collapsed from exhaustion, leaving me alone with 3 slightly frozen demigods and an injured Piper.

'We defeated Khione and the snow monster,' I thought. 'But at what cost?'
