Annabeth POV:

Percy was cooking his pizza, Dan was watching "Untamed and Uncut" on Animal Planet, and Amy was reading.

Maybe she's a daughter of Athena. Hmm...

Suddenly I heard a hiss. Two. Three. This was NOT good.

I walked over to Dan. "Are those hisses on your show?" I asked the scared looking boy.He shook his head.

"Hide Dan. You too Amy. If those are monsters then you guys can't kill them." Amy nodded, then pulled Dan into the closet with her. I looked at Percy, who had stopped his pizza cooking and looked angry.

"I want my pizza and stupid monsters are stopping me from eating it." He grumbled.Despite the situation, I grinned. What a Seaweed Brain.

He pulled out his pen but didn't uncap it yet. The snake ladies might not have seen us yet. They turned and hissed. Yup. They saw us. They charged. I pulled out my dagger while Percy uncapped Riptide. He immediately started fighting one. But the second one dodged my attack and knocked the dagger out of my hand. She then slithered past me to the closet and pulled Dan out.

Amy gasped but didn't move. I grabbed my dagger, but before I could make a move, snake lady number 2 (the one with Dan) got a backpack slammed into her skull.

"Let my brother go!" Amy yelled.

Snake lady 3 started towards her and said,

"I'm afraid we can't do that. You ssssee, he issss wanted killed. He isss a powerful demigod and needssss to die. And you, my dear, are powerful too. You sshall die assss well." I stepped in front of Amy.

"Nope, sorry sister."and stabbed snake lady 3 in the neck. She disintegrated, and I charged toward snake lady 2, who was about to kill Dan. I stabbed her and dragged Dan to Amy. She hugged him and wouldn't let go until he said,"Can't breathe Ames." I ran off to help Percy down the hall but before I got there he fell, clutching his leg.

I stopped and willed myself not to scream. He winked at me and pretended to be in pain. Then at the last second, he stabbed her. As she disintegrated, he looked at me and grinned. I ran up to my boyfriend and yelled in his face.

"DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN PERSEUS JACKSON!"

He laughed. "Ok Anna I'm sorry."he grabbed my hand and walked back to the room. I told him that the Cahills were powerful demigods, according to snake lady 3.

Over our assorted choices of dinner, we talked about all things demigod.

I always kept backup weapons in my luggage, so we fitted them with some blades after dinner. Amy ended up with a dagger like me, and Dan with a sword. Then we all collapsed on our beds and went to sleep.
