Chapter 28

Annabeth Pov

I dashed out of the big house. I spoke with Reyna and she said that they had left and would be here as soon as possible. Some campers coming sooner than others due to powers they gain from their parents.

I snapped the bottom half of my cloak off and snapped my wings open, quickly lifting myself into the air. Will, go scout for injured I want you to bring them to the infirmary. A figure not too far from where I was hovering lifted to the sky, after a few seconds it dived, then came back up and raced for the infirmary. Piper, charmspeak as many monsters as you can to turn on their own kind. A few monsters did exactly that two minutes later. Calypso, make as many barriers you can with thorned vines; but stagger them so we can use them as shields. A few hedges popped up, in a staggered position like I told her to do. Hazel, come up here and attack the monsters from within. Get as many precious metals out of the ground beneath them and kill them with it. Soon I saw her shoot into the air and monsters began to fall, monsters began turning to dust everywhere, their numbers slowly going down, too slow though. Thank you every one. I'm coming down now, use any ability you can to kill the monsters. Zoe if you can go behind them and attack, Luke go with her. And with that I dived and drew my dagger.

I jumped into the fray of fighting and fought my way through. Golden dust coating the ground and many different weapons. Will was diving and killing every time he found some wounded camper. Roars and screams filled the battle field.

Suddenly the ground shook, at first I hoped it was just the Romans, coming to help. But it was worse, much worse.

Hundreds upon thousands of monsters, of every shape and form crashed through the tree line. No giants were seen, but there was the Minotaur and Cyclopes were strewn throughout the battle, some empousi were around and well as hellhounds. The furies were flying overhead as were other flying monstrosities.

My heart almost stopped beating when I saw it. Percy was fighting his way to the Minotaur, who was at the back of the pack. My wings reflexively snapped open and took off, leaving the campers that were near me dumfounded for a few seconds.

I was next to Percy in a matter of seconds. "Percy, jump!" He looked up, saw me and did as I said. I grabbed his forearms and went high.

"Go to the Minotaur!" He yelled over the wind. I banked that way and threw him onto his back. Causing it to let out an inhumane roar. Percy stabbed riptide into the Minotaur's back and silenced him, his blade touching the Minotaur's heart. Percy fell to the ground and I landed beside him as the golden dust settled around us. "Thank you Andra."

"No problem," I blushed and looked down even though he couldn't possibly see it from under my hood.

"Can I know who you really are Andra?"

"I don't know if that's such a good idea."

"Why not?" His face held concern and worry. I gave a slight smile, some things never change.

"You may not like what you see, plus we have to get back."

"Please I would like to know you." His eyes became as round as saucers, silently pleading with me to give in. Those eyes always got me.

"Alright fine," his face lit up like a Christmas tree. "But then we get back no matter what you want to do to me." He became confused again.

I slowly lifted my hand to my hood. I closed my eyes and drew it away from my face. My bangs bounced down around my face, the rest pulled up in its usual ponytail. I opened my eyes and saw Percy standing right in front of my face; only a few inches away. He said nothing, only took my face in his hands and brought his lips to my forehead.

"I've missed you Annabeth." He let go and backed away from me. Turning he drew riptide again and dashed into the crowds of monsters and demigods.

I shook my head and followed in the sky, my hood down.
