Chapter 10 - temples and huts

Will pov

I am so glad we finally managed to get percy to open up . Now he is more talkative and always
asking questions and he even showed us the book he was reading ' How to come out ' . I remember reading that book ... and no I didn't steal it ... I borrowed it ok . Anyway we were walking along when we caught a whiff of peanut m&m 😁
How is it possible that there is food down here ? Percy's face lit up and said " Hermes's temple , come on " . Then I remember annabeth telling me how they had found a temple of Hermes with a titan . And sure enough there was the temple and we stepped inside and took in the sight of the temple . Percy obviously went straight for the food , damn percy could eat like a saytr, and there was a note attached and as soon as we opened confetti spilled out .

Hi guys I hope you got this message ok sorry about the confetti the stolls insisted. Anyway , we hope you managed to crack a smile, I also hope Percy's not being a mr doom and gloom . I have heard you ran into the gods . What did they say ? By the way if percy writes the reply so that I can keep it away from the others , I can't tell you why but I hope percy will tell you soon,
Love Annabeth

P.s enjoy the food and send me a reply so I know you are ALIVE .

Percy looked annoyed and said " how dare she call me Mr Doom and Gloom , Do you mind if I write the reply ? " We shook our heads and percy wrote the reply

First of all I am not mr doom and gloom and when we met the gods they wanted to know my secret and aphrodite told them . Nico and will know and they are trying to help me and it is helping, oddly though I have not been getting any nightmares well I hope to see you soon and come out of this alive . Xxxx

P.s we did enjoy the food tell the stolls that the joke lightened my day . Literally.
Love percy . Xxx

Once we had set it alight and sent it to camp. We trudged on for a few minutes. Anyway everyone was beginning to get tired so we agreed to go to sleep and camp out . Nico took first watch and I instantly fell asleep.

Dream

I was back at camp half-blood and it was on fire all the campers were running and screaming there were campers on the ground looking shocked or just blankly staring at me and then a cold voice bombed " This is what will happen to your puny camp , you cannot stop me . " and it echoed with laughter .

Dream end

Then I was shaken awake by percy who looked really happy for some reason
" Hey , will we've found a hut and I know who it belongs to so get up quick "

So I had no choice but to get up and follow him and there sure enough, with nico standing next to it, was the hut of Dasmen who percy had told me about . Unfortunately there was no dasmen , which percy looked sad about , but there was a bed and a stove and everything even though some of the stuff and huge cobwebs on them . We were enjoying our dinner , which we had hunted earlier, when a growl and a roar was heard outside and there standing right in front of us was a drakon and a sabre tooth tiger . Me and nico shared a look and was about to say run until percy did the weirdest thing and stroked them and then they sat down as if they were were familiar with his scent . Then once percy had stroked them and ran into the hut to get them food he then explained
" Ok , so basically when me and annabeth were down here we came across a cat which atlas had tried to make skeletons but with the wrong teeth and Bob the titan named him small Bob and then the drakon was dasmen's curse until he broke free of it and I don't know where they are and they could be gone forever ." A tear slid down his cheek but he quickly wiped it away .

Once we were in the hut again me and nico sat percy down and gave him a list of ways to come out once we were back at camp . If we get back . We made it clear that we were here for him . He offered to take first watch and before I could protest I fell asleep instantly .
