The Labyrinth (percabeth)

Chapter 15

Annabeth

"Stupid monsters." I muttered under my breath.

Percy heard me and sent me a tight smile. "Life of a demigod, huh?"

"Unfortunately, I didn't sign up for this." I muttered, dashing around the Hydra and looking for it's weak spots.

We wounded its leg, and now that we are out in the open, and Leo had a higher vantage point...... my mind knows exactly what to do.

I snapped my fingers. "Got it."

"Hazel and Frank need to do their best in distracting the Hydra. With Hazel's earth powers, it should help a lot. Frank, turn into any large animal that you think will do the job." They nodded in agreement.

"Jason, I need you and Thalia to use your children of Zeus powers and hurt it. Confuse it with the winds, zap it with lighting, whatever. The rest of us will take it on with our weapons. Leo, you need to be there the instant that we chop off one of the Hydra's heads so that it doesn't grow back."

"I'll take him on my back and transform into a large animal." Frank offered.

I nodded. "Good." I turn to Grover. "Still got your reed pipes?" I asked.

He smiled and holds them up to display. "Ready to go."

I swirled my mini knives in my hands and make sure my dagger is in my scabbard.

I charged at the Hydra, knowing the group will follow me. I feint to the right and charge to the left, running my dagger along the body of the Hydra, slashing it open. The wound spills ruddy red blood, and the Hydra roars in pain. Luckily, Hazel has created a pit around it, trapping it, preventing it from getting out.

Grover began to play his reeds, and tree roots wrap around the Hydra's four legs, and trap it even further, ensuring its inability to escape.

I'm about to turn to Percy, when I see him up front, slashing at the Hydra's neck, cutting it off in one clean sweep. Almost immediately, I see Leo on a small Hydra. Frank. He set his hands on fire and throws a fireball at the Hydra's neck, successfully burning the stump, sealing its fate.

I smiled to myself. Two down, eighteen to go. I began to run towards the Hydra, and looking around, I see it's easily losing the fight, with so many demigods wounding it and attacking it at once.

I pulled my my throwing knives from my pocket and chuck them at one of the Hydra's many necks, slicing off two pairs of heads at once. Leo comes in a burn them away, and our job has suddenly become a lot easier. I run behind the Hydra the retrieve my knives, and that's when everything begins to fall apart.

I see Hazel's fatigue at controlling so much dirt, and she soon stumbled and collapsed.

"Hazel!" I screamed. "Calypso, go help Hazel!"

"Okay Annabeth." She nodded, running over to help Hazel.

Leo and Frank come at the Hydra again, but it's expecting them this time. It roars and shakes its tail, knocking Leo off Frank and sending him tumbling to the ground.

"Nico, go help Leo!" Percy called.

I run over to see how Thalia and Jason are doing and it's not looking too good.

Thalia has exhausted herself and she's propped up against a tree drinking some nectar out of her canteen. Jason and Piper are doing their best to distract the dragon but nothing is going to happen unless someone kills it.

"Percy!" I called. "I need your help."

He runs over and I look at him. "We need to kill this Hydra or else more of our friends are going to get hurt."
