Y/N looked so serious that , suddenly it felt like any form of amusement the situation held drifted into the air like clouds of smoke. Her expression was cold, the irises of her eyes were dilated so widely that you would have thought someone had either scared or surprised her. Her eyes never left Mrs. Dodds retreating frame as she disappeared again. She was now inside the building ,at the end of the entrance hall.

Okay, I thought. She's going to make me buy a new shirt for Nancy at the gift shop.

But apparently that wasn't the plan.

..................

I had no intention of exacerbating Percy's already horrible situation. Today is going to mark the inception of all Percy's heart aches.

I hid behind a human sized sculptor of my mother, peered over her shoulder and took in the silence between teacher and pupil. Or should I say foe and foe. I inhaled softly , fresh hot air filling my lungs , adding much more discomfort to my anxiety filled chest.

Mrs. Dodds - the fury. The Fury. The Fury!

Stop repeating it, I snapped at myself internally. Ares only knows she could hear me.

I know what must be done. Sadly,  Percy doesn't.

"Why so tense love?"

I whipped around in fright careful not to give my hiding spot  away, but who was I kidding , of course I would come face to face with my 'fav' teacher , Mrs. Dodds.

All good things , all good things, I chide myself trying to stay calm and force a smile.

"I lost my sense of direction for a whole second ." I laughed awkwardly , waving my arms around in a gesture of misdirection. "Which way is North, which way is South?" putting up an act is fun especially if you can make it believable. Lucky for me , I happen to be a child of Aphrodite. The art of deception is in my blood.

Mrs. Dodds rolled her eyes in impatience and clicked her tongue,  "drop the act young Goddess, I know you were following us."

I deadpanned. Of course she did , I thought and 'dropped' my act with a bored expression ,"Listen ,Tumble-"

"Mrs. Dodds."

I continued to stare at her blankly , then a sly smile adorned my face ."Drop the act Fury."

My eyes flicked to Percy's lone figure behind the Fury , he looked so confused that I immediately felt sympathy for him, what was about to happen would change everything for him.

But I will be there to help.

A sudden growl recaptured my attention , just as I had turned my focus on Percy ,she had focused hers on a big marble frieze of the Greek gods. If I hadn't known what was about to happen next I'd be dashing for the exit. We should have foreseen that they would send creatures to kill Percy, I watched intently as her crazed eyes meet mine.

"You've been giving us problems , honey." she said , eyes still boring into mine.I remain silent knowing she was addressing Percy.

He said ,"Yes, ma'an." And I know that even with Percy trying to play it safe, a Fury's anger is inevitable.She tugged on the cuffs of her leather jacket, turning to face Percy she said ,"Did you really think you could get away with it?"

He's the one. It has been confirmed.

Monsters and ancient beast together will be hunting him now and the solstice is in 3 weeks.

Percy is the one , Nanny Mcwisey and I have been waiting for.

..............

I don't know what she's talking about . I glanced at Y/n and from the ambivalent expression on her face , I knew that I'd been found out.

All I could think of was that the teachers had found the illegal stash of candy I'de been selling out of my dorm room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my essay on Tom sawyer from the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade. Or worse , they were going to make me read the book.

"Well?" she demanded.

"Ma'am, I don't...."

"Your time is up," she hissed.

The weirdest things happened and at the same time too. Y/n had whipped off her belt and swung it into the air so hard that it lengthened in width and size taking the form of a bronze and gold themed lasso that recoiled obediently into the ball in her palm as she began to wield it as a weapon. Her eyes began to glow a faint shade of gold and her mouth turned up into a sly smirk.

What?

I mean wow?

I shook my head in disbelief.

But that was the least wierder of the two happenings. Mrs.Dodds eyes began to glow like barbeque coals. Her fingers streched , turning into talons. Her jacket melted into large , leathery wings. She wasn't human. She was a shriveled old hag with bat wings and claws and a mouth full of yellow fangs, and she was about to slice me to ribbons.

Then things got weirder.

Mr.Brunner , who'd been out in front of the museum a minute before, wheeled his chair into the doorway of the gallery , holding a pen in his hand.

''What ho, Percy!'' he shouted , and tossed the pen through the air.

Mrs. Dodds lunged at me .

With a yelp , I dodge and just as I felt talons slash the air beside me, something shiny wrapped itself around the clawed muscle and yanked . Mrs.Dodds struggled to move growling and hissing at her golden restraint , but she was pulled back with such brutal force that the lasso sank into her flesh and severed bone from bone amputating her wrist. MrsDodds shrieked in agony , whirling on Y/n in rage and lunging. Y/n looked unfased , infact instead of dodging Mrs. Dodds attack she yelled something incoherent to me in a language foreign to me , but somehow I understood ,''Die , demon of hell! no one will kill Percy!''

Mrs. Dodds tackles Y/n and pins her to the ground, ''No!'' I yelled in fear. But , Y/n swift and nimble , gets her feet under Mrs. Dodds body and launches her across the room and in my direction. 

''Now, Percy!'' Yelled Y/n in a gesture to the pen I had caught out of the air, but when it hit my hand it wasn't a pen anymore. It was a sword -Mr.Brunner's bronze sword , which he always used on tournament day. 

Mrs. Dodds regained her stamina and spun around at me with a murderous look in her eyes. My knees were jelly . My hands were shaking so bad I almost dropped the sword . 

She snarled, ''Die honey!'' just as Y/n yelled ,''Swing Percy!''

They both lunged at me , unfortunately Y/n was a few feet behind Mrs. Dodds .

Absolute terror ran through my body. I did the only thing that came naturally , I followed Y/n's advice : I swing the sword. 

The metal blade hit her shoulder and passed through  her body as if she was made of water. Hiss.

........

The Fury vaporized just as I fell into Percy who was too petrified to steady himself or my body wieght hitting his , so we tumbled backwards. In relief I flung my arms around Pery's neck,''Oh, Percy. Thank the gods.'' I clung to him like wet fabric clings to skin. I prop myself infront of him and rock us back and forth. 

''Y/n?'' 

I pulled away and looked into his petrified eyes ,''What are you?''
