[name] wished she could've put the mechanical spider on a leash.

it scuttled along the tunnels so fast that most of time she couldn't even see it. if it hadn't been for tyson's and grover's excellent hearing, they never would've known which way it was going.

the group ran down a marble tunnel, then dashed to the left and almost fell into an abyss.

tyson had to grab percy and haul him back before he could fall.

the tunnel still continued in front of them, but there was no floor for about thirty meters, just gaping darkness and a series of iron rungs in the ceiling.

the mechanical spider was about halfway across, swinging from bar to bar by shooting out metal web fibre.

"monkey bars," annabeth exclaimed breathlessly. "i'm great at these."

the athletic girl leaped onto the first rung and started swinging her way across. annabeth was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. go figure.

annabeth quickly got to the opposite side and ran after the spider.

[name] let out a quiet curse and looked down. "oh gods ... i can't do that."

percy looked at [name] and kneeled down with his back facing her, no hesitation. "jump on."

the blonde girl stepped back and shook her head incredulously. "percy. you can't be serious."

"dead serious."

"but—!"

"[name], the spider is getting farther away! just get on, i promise it's okay." he told her.

[name] was still hesitant but she got on his back nethertheless, wrapping her legs around his waist tightly. "hold on."

she closed her brown eyes and stuffed her face into percy's shoulder.

he then began leaping across the monkey bars without stopping. [name] was actually pretty impressed by how strong percy was; well he was the son of poseidon but still.

she heard a thud but kept her head down.

"hey. you're safe. we made it to the other side." percy whispered to her gently. [name] slowly opened her eyes and realized how close his face was to hers.

she was able to see his eyes that shined brightly, multiple color swirling around in a blend of blues and greens.

she was able to see light freckles she didn't know he had before.
