Annabeth's POV

Ariana and I started running. The last train had left a while ago and the station was empty. The six emposai and the hellhounds chased us down the platform, the vampires shouted my name

"Annabeth! come back here!" barking that shook the ground followed. we reached platform nine when Ariana turned around a summoned her sword

"If they're going to kill us, I'm not dying while I'm running away!" she snarled in the direction of the hellhounds, who looked generally shocked that the food they were pursuing turned and ran back toward them. I watched in absolute horror as she plunged into the fray, stabbing, slashing, and singing "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner at the same time. I turned to the emposai, who licked their lips at the sight of me.

"Well, we get a meal today, girls! how should we kill Annabeth?" one growled

"How do you know my name?" I snarl, drawing my knife

"Kelli told us. we were the last group of emposai to come through the doors of death. Kelli shouted out your name, in order to kill you, but we were stuck in Britain. then, we smelled you!" one lunged at me, claws extended. I plunged my knife into her chest as I sidestepped. she crumbled

"Reina was the weakest of us, but now you face our strongest!" they all lunged at once. I stabbed and slashed to no avail. Ariana was retreating back to pillar nine. I ran back to her. I had meant to stop, but I had too much momentum, I expected Ariana and I to crash into the wall, but we fell through instead, landing on another train platform. We wasted no time. we started running just as the first hellhound cleared the wall. Ariana staggered, bleeding from her cheek. we kept running, but the hellhound pounced on us, and we landed in a puddle... Ariana threw herself over me.... the hellhound lashed its claws across my chest, then we were falling...
