This is the next part. If you've already read my story, you've already read this chapter. I'm just doing this because the last chapter was reallllllyy long. Okay. Enjoy! (again if you've already read it...:D)
Annabeth's POV
People where running around the cafeteria screaming and trying to back away from the doors. A hydra was walking through the doors, and taking most of the wall with it. The building shook, as it pushed through. Me, Percy, and the other four that were with us stood up, and unsheathed our weapons. Hazel looked ready to bend the Mist, and Frank looked ready to leave with the monster.
"What the heck?! Why are you guys carrying swords. What is that thing?!" I heard K.J and Jon yelling from behind us. Well, I guess they are demigods or clearsighted mortals. Yay. More people to take care of. The only person that wasn't talking was Owen, and when I turned around to see if he was as freaked out as the other two, I was shocked.
Owen was standing on the other side of the table, and he was pulling out a bow and arrows out of his backpack. He was tucking a dagger into his belt, and testing out his watch that turned into a bronze sword. I was stunned. No it wasn't the fact that he had just pulled out a bow from his backpack, or the fact that he had a bronze dagger and sword, no, it wasn't the fact that he was a demigod, no. It was the fact that he was a demigod, and didn't bother to tell us. He had to have known that me, Percy, and the rest of the crew were demigods, I mean, I've traveled half way across the world, and gotten praised about my defeat with Gaea.
"What the heck, Owen?! You're a demigod too?!" I guess Jason beat me to it. Owen walked up to us, and sighed.
"Yeah. But can we talk about this later? We need to kill this monster before all of Tartarus breaks loose." K.J and Jon looked scared out of their minds.
"What are you guys?! What's that thing?! Why is Owen like that?" I turned to Hazel, and she started bending the Mist. I walked over to K.J and Jon. I froze. Oh gods. I had completely forgot about Simon and Tayla. Where were they? I scanned the room, and my eyes fell on the two of them, near the center of the room. Simon was giving Tayla some ambrosia, and it seemed Tayla was okay. Maybe a slight concussion. Besides the small cut on her forehead from the blasted door, she looked fine. I breathed in a sigh, until I saw how close the two were to the monster.
"Frank! Get Simon and Tayla away from the monster!" He quickly nodded, and turned into a giant eagle.
"What?!" I turned back to K.J and Jon.
"Okay, guys, I know this is a lot to take in, trust me, I would know. Simon and Tayla just figured out about all this yesterday. I hate to say this, but you won't be able to go back to your normal life now. Really, I'm sorry, but on the flip side, it's great. Fighting monsters, and getting to go on adventures. This may not make sense right now, but you guys just have to trust me. After this monster is taken care of, we are immediately leaving to go back to our camp."
"Nuh uh. I'm not leaving with a bunch of killers. What are you guys anyways? Aliens?!" Oh my gods... this girl is SOOO creative... and stubborn. Gods, this was going to be hard.
"K.J, listen to me. We are human beings just like you, just with a little of Greek or Roman god mixed in. Because you can see what you're seeing, that only means you are like us. It's complicated, but if you just come with us it will all be explained. We can even go see your parents before we leave.
"Jon?" she turned to him. He seemed to think it over. Then shrugged.
"I dunno. They're definitely telling the truth, and Owen is with them. We've known Owen since we were really little. If we can trust anyone, it's him. Plus, they said we can see our parents. What kinda killer would let us see our parents?" K.J. stood there before signing.
"Okay. I'll go with you guys, but the minute you try something stupid. Im leaving and calling the cops." I let out a breath of relife.
"Ok. Goo-"
"Annabeth! Watch out!"
I turned around just in time to see a giant fireball hurtling toward us. No. This is not the way to die. I have survived everything... heck! I survived Tartarus. NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNonNo. No. I almost pushed K.J and Jon away when a wave of water washed over the fireball. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks Seaweed Brain!"
"No prob!"
I turned back to K.J. and Jon, and started to drag them to the opening in the wall. We ran around the hydra as quietly as possible, but it was hard because K.J kept yelling out stuff about Percy's water capabilities.
"That was so cool! Will I get to do that? I want to do that! Who is my parent gunna be? I hope she can do that! I want to do that!"
"K.J.! Be quiet! You're going to attract the monster!" Jon slapped a hand over her mouth. She rolled her eyes. We ran through the wall, and I pulled them behind a wall.
"Okay. I'm going to go help fend off this monster. If you see any students around, herd them away from the monster. If the monster starts to advance towards you, run away as soon as possible. When the monster is gone, we will meet back together, and we'll take you to your parents before heading to Camp Half Blood. Any quick questions?"
"Yeah. You're just gunna let us go like that? Not gunna make us stay? If we run, you won't chase after us?" I sighed.
"Yeah. I trust you to do what I say. If you run away, there's a pretty good chance of something happening like this in the near future, except we won't be here to protect you. You just have to believe me on this, okay? Please understand that I'm doing this for your safety and well being. Kay?" K.J sighed.
"Fine. We'll stay."
"Okay. I'm gunna go, please stay there!" I ran off to go help fight.
Tayla's POV
"Tayla!" I opened my eyes.
"Ugh." Simon let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness you're okay! We got to move! The monster almost attacked us, but Frank swooped in and pushed it out of the way. Get up!" He grabbed me by the arm, and hauled me to my feet. We ran across the cafeteria, and through the hole the monster had made.
Percy, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Will, Jason, and Annabeth had circled the monster and were each taking turns to attack. Why weren't they slicing the heads? I must have wondered out loud, because Simon turned around to answer me.
"Because it's a hydra, and hydras are known for multiplying if you cut their heads off. Duh. You know, you should pay more attention during history class... and any other class for that matter."
"Shut up Simon."
"Whatever. You're just jealous cuz I kn- oh hey Jon and K.J. So I see you found out about all this..." I turned around to see K.J. and Jon looking really confused.
Oh boy. Lot's of explaining to do.
"Hey guys. I bet you're so confused right now, but you just have to trust Annabeth, and Percy, and all of them to take good car-" K.J. waved her hand.
"Yeah, yeah. Already got that talk. We know about the myths and stuff... just not if we should completely trust Percy and them." Jon said.
"Well, I can speak for them. Me and Simon found out yesterday and they have taken really good care of us. They're completely trust worthy. Plus, there is a camp just for kids like us, and they all seem pretty nice, except for the Ares kids... they're a little bossy."
"Yeah, Tayla's right. You can trust them. We can help you around if you want, I mean we're still adjusting too. Plus we'll probably be in the same cabins since we're still undecided."
Just then, the sound of a ton of sandbags dropping on the ground rang through the cafeteria. We quieted immediately. Footsteps were getting closer, and me and Simon looked at each other before tensing. I brought out the dagger. Just then, Percy and the crew ran through the hole in the wall. Oh. Haha. It was just them. I sigh and put the dagger away.
"Come on guys. We better get going if we want to make it to Jon and K.J.'s parents houses. More monsters could be here at any minute." Jason said.
We grabbed all our stuff, and rushed out of the school.
