The Exchange

57- Percy Gets Hit By A Flying Body

Percy and Harry charged through camp, Percy grabbed a breastplate as they sprinted towards the sounds of fighting. He hurriedly scrambled into it, not stopping running.

Harry had his wand in one hand and was clutching a sword in the other hand.

He mentally cursed himself because he had left his wand in his cabin. Then he realised that they needed Luke and Snape. "Harry!" Percy yelled as they ran, "I've got to grab my wand and find Luke and Snape, we'll find you later!"

Harry nodded and Percy began sprinting in the opposite direction. He ran past all of the demigods (Greek and Roman) and the Wizards who where heading towards the battle.

Percy skidded into his cabin and grabbed his wand off of his bed, he hurried out if his cabin again and headed back towards the battle he saw a swirling black mass, a flash of red and a glint of celestial bronze from within the mass. Harry had started the fight.

Percy hurried to find Luke. He eventually found him back to back with George Weasley who had come to camp with Dumbledore's army. George was battling with an Empousi (every time he blasted her with a spell she just laughed and bounced back) and Luke was face to face with a strange monster that Percy had never seen before. Percy slashed the monster in half, Luke looked at him with a surprised look.

"We need you, now," Percy told him. Luke seemed to understand what Percy meant.

The two of them plowed on, they demolished monsters along there path, fighting side by side. Percy realised that he and Luke had never fought side by side. Fought against eachother yes, but not side by side.

He laughed, "what?" Luke asked.

Percy slashed a hell hound, turning it to dust, "I just realised that we've never fought side by side."

Luke grinned, "no we haven't have we."

The fought on and found Snape. He was battling a Hydra along with several other wizards and a few demigods. Luke grabbed his shoulder.

"We need to go." Luke told him, Snape seemed to understand and followed them.

Percy lifted Riptide in one hand and his wand in the other and charged straight towards the black mass.

Someone dodged into his path and he collided with them at top speed. Luke and Snape carried on running past him as he got to his feet, realising that it was Annabeth that he had run into.

She scrambled to her feet and pulled Percy into a kiss.

"Don't die on me okay?" Percy asked Annabeth.

"Never again," Annabeth agreed, "be careful."

"Wise Girl do you even know who you're talking to?" Percy laughed.

Annabeth rolled her eyes and kissed him again, "just do it."

"Aye aye captain," he saluted and sprinted back towards the black mass. I can do this, he told himself. One more battle and then I'm retiring for good.

He skidded to a halt at the edge of the darkness. He could tell that the other three were already locked in combat. He took a deep breath, preparing himself to step inside, and then a body was flung out of the mass, pushing Percy backwards.
