~Ally

Ally's P.O.V

I woke up and saw an eye. No, two eyes. No, twenty seven eyes. No, I saw forty nine eyes. No, i saw---- you know what? i am just gonna say that I FREAKED OUT! "AUGH! EEEEEP!" I said, falling out of the hospital bed and accidentally setting off a small explosion of ice, causing my hair to explode and look like Einstein's. I sat, panting and wide-eyed, at a man with a Bermuda outfit, complete with a flower print shirt and clashing wavy shorts and open-toed sandals.

I heard laughter like bells. I sat up and saw a girl with hair braided all around, like the pictures of the Cherokee girls in my storybooks. "You are SO MUCH like Leo!" She exclaimed helping me up. "I'm Piper. You are Ally, right? Leo's sister?" Piper said, helping me up. "Yeah. Who's Leo?" I asked, confused. "Leo? Your brother?" Piper said, looking at me, seeming more confused than i was. "Once again: who is Leo?" I asked. "You... you really don't know? Because i know that Leo likes to play practical jokes." Piper said, studying her. "Okay this is what i know FOR SURE: i was raised by my crazy Auntie Callida when my mom died." I said, spreading my hands. "Really? Okay. Leo! Did you get that?" Piper called over her shouler. "How do you get this thing off?" i heard Leo's voice come from the left corner.

"You take it OFF!" Piper said. I saw a table fall over and i heard Leo curse loudly. "No, seriously, how do you get it off?" Leo said. "Here; let me try." I said, going over to Leo. "Where are you? You are invisible." I said, confused. I raised my hand and ice collected on Leo's shoes. "Hey! COLD! COLD! COLD!" Leo said, hopping up and down. "What do you have to get off?" I asked. "This hat!" Leo said, still hopping up and down. I reached up and yanked off the cap and Leo appeared. "Why were you spying?" I asked. Leo shrugged and ran off, his face red. "What did i do?" I asked Piper. "I wish i knew, Ally, i wish i knew." Piper said. I looked down and saw a regular Yankees ball cap.

I walked out and met Annabeth. "What did you do to Leo?" She asked, taking the hat and tucking it in her pocket. I shrugged and told her exactly wht i told Piper. "Okay. Let's find you a weapon." Annabeth said. I followed Annabeth to the weapons shack. "Follow me." She said. I followed her into the shack. There was an array of weapons-everything from scythes to butter knives to giant corkscrews. "So i can chose anything?" I asked. "Yep." Annabeth said. I grabbed the butter knife. "BEWARE! I WILL BUTTER-IFY YOU!" I said, smearing the side of the knife against Annabeth's left arm. She laughed. i put it back and looked around.

I tripped over the perfect weapon. Literally. I looked down and saw a dusty scabbard. I picked it up and drew a shining sword. The hilt fit my hand perfectly. "Um, you don't want that one." Annabeth said. "Why not?" I said. The sword was beautiful. The hilt was worn leather and the sword was a beautiful bronze. "It fit's perfectly." Annabeth said, her eyes wide. "Yeah... so?" I said, taking a couple practice swings. "That... That's Achilles's sword." Annabeth said. "Like... like the guy that got shot in the ankle with an arrow and died because that was the only spot that wasn't dipped in the river Styx?" I guessed. "Wow. You just hit the nail on the head. No pun intended, by the way." Annabeth said.

""Um...what pun?" I asked. Annabeth looked to the left, the right, then up then down. "Actually, i... don't know." Annabeth said. "I heard you traveled around the world in a ship. Can i see the ship?" i asked Annabeth said. "Sure." Annabeth said. I sheathed  my sword and tied the scabbard around my waist. I followed her to the ship. "Wow. That is one hot ship." I said. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion from the ship. "WHAT?" Annabeth shouted loudly. Suddenly, Leo flew from the ship. He landed hard about thirty feet away.

"LEO!" said a new voice that i recognized as Jason. me and Annabeth ran over. Leo was unconscious and his hair was askew. I noticed something in his hair and leaned over him. It was a white streak. It seemed familiar. "Is he alright?" Another girl asked the i recongnized as Hazel. Leo was lifted and run to the infirmary. I walked toward the ship. The ship was in flames. I blasted it with ice and the fire died. I went inside. I crawled amongst the wreckage and found the place where the explosion took place. I also met Festus, the dragon masthead who directed me to the place of the explosion.

I found what exploded. "ANNABETH! WE HAVE A SITUATION!" I screamed, afraid of what i saw.
