"Well since our train blew up so I'm gonna see if there's another one we can get tickets on. Annabeth, can you come with me?"
"Yea sure"
I could somehow feel death creeping into Percy. I could almost see it lingering waiting to strike.
"Hey Percy I think something's-"
He then collapsed into my arms.
"What happened?" Grover asked
"I think that stinger thing was poisonous "
" no shit. Help me bring him to the fountain outside." I said
We put him in and splashed water on him.
"It's not working!" I said frustrated
Loud crashing and banging came from the road. When I turned I saw Echidna and Chimera plowing through downtown St Louis.
"I think I'm better this was a good idea Addy"
He had never called me that before.
But I knew he was lying, he was weak.
"We need to go now!" Annabeth said
Grover and AB scooped up Percy.
Echidna spoke to me
"Child you have no idea how your mother's pride was wounded when you sent Medusa's head to Olympus."
"Did you hear that?"
"What?" Percy asked
"Uh nothing"
"It will be your doom" she sneered
"We need to get to the altar" Annabeth said
As they sat Percy down in the elevator.
My mind was whirling with possibilities on how to beat Echidna.
"Adonis?" Percy said
I ignored him still thinking.
"Adonis!"
I turned to him knowing one of use wasn't going to make it.
"What did she say to you?"
"What?" Grover questioned
"Echidna she said something to you didn't she. Alecto did that to me in New York. What did she say?"
"My impertinence wounded my mothers pride and that will be my doom"
"Impertinence what- Medusa's head. But I signed the note and-"
"I went along with it! She won't help us but I can do it. I'll fight them."
We got off the elevator and lots of people were inside. I saw the fire alarm and pulled it. The people started to retreat I walked Annabeth, Grover, and Percy to the door.
