House of Hades

Chapter 10- Percy

Flashback------

I've battled hundreds of monsters. I've killed Titans. For pete's sake I've held the weight of the world; literally.

But none of that hurt more than falling into Tartarus and breaking my ankle. I hate it. I hate having to be here and having to be hurt. At least I have Annabeth. I swear, without her I would probably have already gone insane. Now monsters where coming for us, soon.

"now do you want the ambrosia?" Annabeth said after she twisted my leg. Gods of Olympus that hurt.

"No," I said. Was I being stubborn? Yes. I couldn't love with Annabeth getting hurt and I drinking something to cure her.

I screamed again.

"Hey! I hear demigods!" said a monstrous voice in the distance.

My eyes got wide. If I wasn't healed by the time those monsters come Annabeth would be forced to fight alone. I couldnt have her do that. Not after she had to fight Arachne alone. Arachne.... She was down here too.

"Okay. A little," I mumbled to Annabeth.

She smiled the same time I rolled my eyes.

She fed me a little. It felt good. Not amazing or prefect; just good. My body still hurt, but not to agonizing pain. Just pain.

"Shall we go then?" I said jokingly uncapping Riptide and standing up.

She looked at me funny and laughed, "yes, let us go."

She took my arm and pulled me around a corner of a Tartarus wall. She put her finger to her lips and we listened.

"Demigods are close. I can smell them," said a controlling voice.

"Yes. Yes. Son of sea god and daughter of wisdom. Close," said a smaller voice.

Annabeth whispered in my ear, "I think these monsters are going to... Interesting."

"Interesting how?" I whispered back.

"Interestingly hard," she whispered.

I suddered. The voices were loud. If these monsters were dangerous I might not be able to fight as well with my ankle hurt.

Annabeth looked at me. Her eyes said 'attack on three, ok?'

I silently responded 'yes.'

1-2-3.

Me and Annabeth ran around the corner. I almost started laughing when I ran around the corner. Almost.

2 small little hellhounds maybe 3 feet tall sat there. One had a baby fuzz on the top of his head and a cute, I'm- not- going- to- hurt- you- at all kind of face. The other one looked like a little, innocent animal that would be on one of those cute animal calanders... Basically, they were really cute; horrible voices, but cute.

"Awww!" Annabeth cooed. "You to are so cute! Your not scary at all!"

One of hellhounds growled, "We are not cute! We are dangerous monsters! We can destroy you with-."

Annabeth started petting him. I couldn't help it; I started laughing.

"Who's a good little boy? You are! You are!" Annabeth said to the baby hellhound.

That made me laugh even harder.

The 2 hellhounds just growled like this was a form of toucher.

"I'm warning you!" said the hellhound.

"what can you do? You're just a cute little-," Annabeth started.

The hellhound howled. Annabeth let go of the hellhound; her eyes wide.

"They're calling there pack!" Annabeth yelled. She turned to the baby hellhound and scolded, "Bad boy! Bad boy!"

"Come on," I said taking her arm, "Let's get out of here."

Annabeth glared at the baby hellhound and scolded, "You just caused us a lot of trouble, mister. You-,"

The sound of hellhounds growling in the distance cut her off.

She looked at me.

"Yeah, let's go," she said starting to run. 

-----------

We are running. For how long? I can't remember. 10, 20 minutes? All I know is that I'm tired. All I can tell is that the hellhounds are getting closer. Annabeth is somewhere ahead of me. I'm ankle is slowing me down. It's killing me.

I hear the hellhounds growling again. There are a lot. 15, 20 hellhounds? All I know is that me and Annabeth are extremely outnumbered.

I hear the hellhounds howl again. Their VERY close.

beads of sweat are falling down my forehead. I stumble on a rock and catch myself. I look up and find a hellhound about 100 feet in front of me. I look behind me; hellhounds are runniNg towards me. One question comes into my mind. Where is Annabeth? Do they have her? Did she escape? I hope she did.

The hellhounds circle around me. Some of the hellhounds break apart and make way for the alpha leader. The alpha is larger than the others. He looks stronger too. Walking beside him are the two hellhounds Annabeth were petting.

"Father, can you rip the bad man to shreds?" says the one hellhounds trying to use a innocent tone to his manly voice.

Great, I thought. We just pet and laughed at the alpha's kids.

Alpha laughed and said, "I'm sorry, children. Gaea is going to do that."
