Articuno

Chapter 5

As they walked into the arena, Articuno was tackled by a giant black wall of Fur.

"What the he---" Yelped Articuno as he was getting licked to death by a giant black dog.

" Oh, my Gods! Mrs, O'Leary get off of him!"

The giant hellhound jumped off of him with a playful bark.

Articuno stood up as he was wiping a glob of hellhound saliva from his cheek.

"how the hell did you guys get a hellhound past the camp borders?"

" A couple years ago, we had a fighting instructor named Quintus who had his hellhound as a pet. But during the Battle of the Labyrinth, he turned out to be Daedalus and it was time for him to finally pass on into the underworld, He left her in the care of the Famous half-Brother of mine. The one and only, Percy Jackson." Explained Nixie as she scratched the giant beast behind the collar.

"Real comforting, having a giant beast inside the actual camp." Mumbled Articuno.

"It's not as bad as you think, considering she helps protect the camp." 

"As long as she doesn't kill me in my sleep, I'll be okay with the beast." Answered Articuno as wiped off another glob of saliva off of his dark hair 

And a few moments later, A blonde around the age of 19 walks into the arena, looking angry and deadly.

The blonde with an attitude barged in and walked over to Mrs.O'Leary and patted her on the side of her ribs.

"Who are you?" she glared at me with her compelling gray eyes.

" And how is it that Mrs.O'Leary didn't even growl when you came in to the arena?"

"I don't know, you tell me. Its my first time here."

"It's nice to see you too, Annabeth."

"Sorry Nixie, its just that there are no clues what so ever about what happened to Percy, and it's pissing me off."

Articuno just stood there awkwardly as the two girl chatted about their missing celebrity.

"And who is the new guy?" said Annabeth.

"The name's Articuno, its nice to finally meet the famous Annabeth Chase." answered Articuno as he stuck out his hand.

"How is it that you know my last name?" She asked with a deadly tone.

"Because you're famous...? And because people do not shut up about how the oh, so famous Percy Jackson and his girlfriend Annabeth Chase saved the world on multiple occasions." He answered in an awkward tone, with a hint of annoyance. 

"But aren't you new here?" Asked Nixie.

"New to this camp, yes. But not new to the world of gossip, monsters, and gods." He responded.

Annabeth glared at him like he just slapped her, and without a word she pulled out her sword and pointed it at his jugular vein. He looked at her and at the sword without moving a muscle, and he gave her a big smile as if it was a big joke. Annabeth stood her ground, and didn't take her eyes off of him.

"Oh. You're seriously gonna fight me?." He said with a smirk. But she didn't answer, and without another word, he smacked the flat of her blade with his bare hand and skipped back into a fighting stance.

She raised her sword again, and pointed it in his direction.

"Nixie, you might wanna give us some space." she spoke without taking her eyes off of Articuno.

Nixie took a few steps back and watched as the two badass teens where going to fight each other.

"Aww, someone got offended." He teased as he fixed into a fighting stance, while keeping his sword in his sheath.

"I am so going to kick your ass." She snarled. And with that note, she lunged at him.
