I was woken from a terrible nightmare by a loud crash from inside my room. I grabbed my knife that was under my pillow. I tried to find the light switch in my room but something was blocking it.''Graaaa…'' Uh, oh. I lunged at the object in front of me with my knife. I felt it go in to something solid and felt a liquid drench my face and clothing. I shoved the object out of the way and flipped on the lights.
I found a dead zombie body on the floor with a stab mark in its head. I ran out of my room and went into Thalia's room. ''Thalia get up NOW.'' I shoved her of the bed. ''what do you want at this ungodly hour?'' She moaned from on the floor. 'Thalia I was having a bad dream and I summoned an infected in my sleep. I need help getting the body out of my room before anybody notices.'' At my words she shoots up from the floor and runs into my room.
''okay grab its feet and I will grab its hands. We can go take the body up to the roof and throw it off. okay?'' Thalia said. We cared the body down the corridor and ended up in the cafeteria. I was about to walk into the cafeteria when Thalia shoved me lightly back. ''crap Leos out there …and he's dancing with a broom?!'' I looked around the corner and sure enough there was Leo doing the salsa with a broom. I looked at Thalia and her face was red and there was tears streaming down her face from holding in her laughter. '' okay Thalia get out one of your arrows and shoot the pans so they will clatter to the floor.''
Thalia shot with amazing accuracy nailing one of the pots hanging up and causing it to rock and make the domino effect of all the pans falling down on the floor. 'Who's there! Come out so I can see you! I'm warning you I have a hammer and I'm not afraid to use it!' Leo yelled into the air dropping his dancing partner and running into the kitchen. Thalia and I ran across the cafeteria half dragging half carrying the dead body. We were half way there when his arm fell off. ''I'll get It. keep dragging him.'' I whisper to Thalia while I ran back to grab its arm.
I caught up with Thalia and we dragged the body into the elevator. There was some old 50's song on that sounded horrible. '' can I keep the arm?'' I gave her a look that said 'really Thalia?! You want a dead persons arm?' ''so...that's a no?'' ''OMG just take the freaken arm!'' she took the arm from me and started playing with its fingers. She opened all of its fingers and gave the dead arm a high-five.
The doors dinged open dropping us off at a door. We opened the door and Thalia took her new arm and placed it in the door to keep it propped open. We carried the dead infected body over to the edge and placed it on the ledge. ''on 3'' ''1…2...3...'' on three we shoved the body off the building. Right when we shoved it off the building I felt a zap and something latch on to my arm. Looked down and saw the somehow the not dead infected body was holding on to my arm pulling me over the ledge. I before I knew it I was falling over the side of the building. I grab on to the 4th floor ledge. Thalia shot the infected with an arrow causing it to let go of my arm.
''THALIA GET INTO THE ROOM AND PULL ME IN! I THINK ITS PERCY'S ROOM!'' Before I got the last part out she was already inside the building.
Don't look down .don't look down. You know, this would be a really stupid way to die. I mean I have lived this long to get killed because I was pulled over a building by an infec-
The window that the ledge is connected to opened and 2 heads popped out. ''Annabeth?! What? How? Grab my hand!'' Percy yelled sticking his hand out through the window and down to me. I grabbed his hand preparing to climb in threw the window but I didn't have to because I turns out Percy is really strong, he yanked me up through the window. Thalia and him steadied me up straight.
''why were you hanging on to the ledge, about to fall to your death?!''He yelled. ''well you see… I tripped …on …um Thalia what was it I tripped on?'' I asked Thalia. ''we were having a hard time sleeping so we went to get some fresh air on the roof. When we got there Annabeth being the clumsy person that she is tripped on this amazingly cool infected dead arm and fell off the building.'' She said this all while making hand gestures with the dead arm. '' okay Annabeth be more careful next time. Now go back to bed. See you in the morning.'' Percy said shooing us out the door.
''really Thalia?!I tripped on your dead arm!?'' '' hey you told me to tell the story. so it's going to be the Thalia way. Got it?'' we walked back into are rooms and got ready for the morning.

I went down to breakfast late. I grabbed some cereal and sate down Next to Thalia. ''Thalia, Annabeth, Hazel, and Piper you guys have your fighting test after lunch to see what group you qualify in.'' frank said. I can't wait for the test. If I do say so myself I think I'm good.
After breakfast was done Thalia and I went back to are rooms to change into more active wear. I changed into a gray sports bra, yoga shorts, black running shoes, and I put my hair up into a ponytail. I went to Thalia's room to find her wearing the same outfit but with a black sports bra. She and I walked down to the training center that was bigger than the cafeteria its self. There were around 25 people in there fighting, lifting weights, playing sports, or running around the tack.
I spotted Hazel and Piper who were wearing the same outfits but different colored sports bras. Pipers were red, and Hazels was purple. Nico came up to us and said, ''lades you should warm up with a partner .then we are going to have you fight each other. Afterwards the last test will be to have you guys fight me and the guys in an all-in match.''
Piper and I partnered up leaving Hazel and Thalia as partners. We first did stretches and a little bit of gymnastics. We learned gymnastics when we were younger and in high school we were on the gymnastics team. We did flip-flops, hand springs, cart wheels, and back and front flips. Soon after are stretching Jason watched us fight each other. In the end I came victorious but piper did get quite a few punches in. next Thalia and I fought. Right when Thalia was about to win I was able to flip her over and pin her, resulting in me winning.
''alright so the rules In this match is once you are knocked off the mat you are out. Its boys against girls, we will all be in at the same time. On the count of three the match will start. Good luck.'' Said Leo. I huddled up with the girls and made a game plan.'' Okay, piper you take Jason, Hazel you take Frank, Thalia you take Nico, and I will take Percy.'' ''1…2…3…go''
I took off toward Percy and tripped Nico on the way. I punched at Percy's face but he ducked. He tried to elbow me but I grabbed his elbow and shoved him. We kept it going on like this for a while. We started circling each other and I noticed his movements. He was going to fake a punch but then sweep down and kick my legs out from underneath me. Smart move, but not smart enough for me. just as I predicted he lunged for my ankle but I flipped over him and kicked him off the mat. I looked around to see anybody else but I noticed they were all out staring in awe with other people who came to watch the fight. I guess I won but what is amazing about it? ''Annabeth you just took down the best fighter In the building!'' ''oh okay?''
We were told to take a break so the boys could figure out who was going to be I which fighting group. ''alright Thalia and Annabeth are In group A. Hazel and Piper are in group B.'' Leo announced. ''where did the boys go?'' Hazel asked. '' oh, they are just in one of their meeting.''

I was beginning to get bored in my room so I decide I'm going to go ahead and explore the rest of the building. I walked down an abandon corridor on the 5th floor I came across a room with voices coming from inside of it. I listened closely to hear them. 'So has any of you came through with any cures for the infection?'' That was Percy's voice. '' Chris is getting worse. The infection is starting to get him.'' A female's voice spoke. ''we will find something for him Clarisse.'' '' everything I try for the infection isn't working. It's like there is no cure '' said Will in a broken voice.
I couldn't take the pain in there voice anymore I barged in the meeting. ''I know the cure I just need the stuff.'' 10 eyes stared back at me amazed. ''what are you waiting for .tell us what you need.'' Said Percy.
