Annabeth POV
Previously:
"It was like they knew we broke down here. How? How in the world did they know? Their cloaks hit the ground at the same time, their hands moved in the same direction, they were walking slowly knowing we would be too shocked to run away. It was them.
The Shadow creatures."
. . .
It was just cruel!
We had been in California for 3 days. They didn't have a car, so the would have had walk. How did they get here? For some reason, I feel like the night I left camp was the same night I stepped into a Harry Potter movie.
They were multiplying by the minute. I had never seen so many… I didn't even know there were this many.
I simply stood there with my eyes shut. There was no way to get out of this one. There was no tricking them. We were stuck with no way out. I found this ironic. Ever since I faked my death, I have been stuck in a chase, with no way out. Well, there was one way out and that was to give them what they wanted. Now, I was stuck in a tunnel, with no way out and the only way out was to have them kill me.
Great fun, really.
"Ah, Annabeth Chase. Do you know your friends think you're dead?" One Creature asked (For the sake of confusion we will call him Ted.)
I blinked, "How do you know what my- others think of me?"
"Why we went to your precious camp, that's how! By the way, it was very lovely camp. I am afraid I didn't get to enjoy, though. We were in a bit of a rush to find you. But you weren't there…" Something told me underneath the cloak Ted was smiling mischievously. "So we ripped it to shreds."
"No…" I whispered.
"Yes," The one behind Ted said, "We chased them all out of camp, no one was killed though. If we had killed them, this would have been too easy." And with that said, for the first time since camp, I felt hope. "But don't worry, as soon as you're dead, so are they." And that hope was now gone.
"Annabeth" Sara whimpered behind me, "What are they talking about?"
Ted laughed, "Her friends of course! Piper, Jason, Leo, Frank, Hazel, and we can't forget about…" He turned his head to face me, "Percy Jackson."
"Don't touch them!" I yelled.
"Hmm... Since you asked nicely" He laughed again and through his hand out. A forced pushed Sara and Nate back. Their limp bodies rolled across the street.
I turned to run at them, but an invisible hand grasped my throat, and I began to rise. "Ah, Annabeth, you need to be more specific when you say who not to hurt."
I choked out, "You… w-won't… win. They… will stop… you" I started to move my left foot to my right ankle. I used my toe to push my shoe off my heel.
"See, no, I don't think so. Because I have you caught, and so who is going to stop me?"
(A/N: So writing this next part the radio played a song that (I think) is called Something Big. So listening to this song is how I wrote this next part. Just thought I should share. I rarely ever listen to music and write.)
"I will." I swung my foot back and launched my shoe at Ted. It hit in so hard he stumbled. The invisible force let go of me and I crumpled to the ground. I stood up and ran to the car, and ripped off the windshield wipers. I ran back and began to fight.
Word of Advice: Don't use windshield wipers as a weapon. They break. After 3 hits. Not very useful.
It became a hand vs. wind fight.
Spoiler: Hand won.
Well, someone jumped in, I wasn't alone. And I was winded from being choked and punched the dude might've had a sword or a stick, I am not sure.
He swung his sword and stabbed one of the creature in the stomach. The creature just stared at the sword that impaled him. He chuckled and disappeared. The dude recovered quickly from what just happened and went back to fighting. I debated on running over the Sara and Nate, but I wanted to get rid of these guys first.
We fought for a good 10 minutes till it happened.
Sara and Nate had woken up and joined the punched one in the face and every single one had disappeared, except Ted. He smiled and said, "Seems a hero has come. Well, don't worry we will get you one day."
A burst of wind blew me back, so far, my head hit the other side of the tunnel. My body slid the rough wall, and hit the ground hard.
My eyes slowly started to close. The dude who we had fought with came over and stood over me. I probably would have punched him in the face, if I had had the strength. His familiar blue eyes scared me. But what scared me even more was the scar on his upper lip, where he had tried to eat a stapler when he was 2.
A saving grace.
Jason Grace.

I am not saying anything other than this.
