The Sword and The Shield

Chapter 2

I sat down to eat my cake. I bit into it, the taste was familiar. "How did you get the cake to taste like my dad made it?" I asked as Percy sat down beside me. "Ambrosia fixes EVERYTHING", He said while taking a bite. "Besides, I didn't think you would like it if you threw up on your happy not birthday." He told me. "You're not THAT bad." I reminded him.
"Yeah but still, that would suck."
"True"
As we began to eat our cake we heard galloping of horses. As my half sister Annie stood up, there was a whizzing of an arrow. Before anyone could react, the arrow lodged itself in Annie.

Who was two feet in front of me.

ANNIE!!! I screamed. As she crumpled to the floor. "ANDY GET HER OUT OF HERE. MALCOME WE NEED SWORDS, SHIELDS, AND ARMOR!! NOW!!!!" I ordered as another arrow whizzed through the pavilion.

It was coming strait towards me.

I froze. What do I do? I mean I knew what to do, but my instincts just wouldn't kick in. I closed my eyes as it came closer.

Three feet.

Two feet.

One fo-

I was knocked to the ground by familiar arms. I looked up to see Percy on top of me with the most worried expression on his face that I have ever seen. His shield was blocking us from oncoming arrows as he helped me up.

"SEIZE LEGIONARIES!" Said a familiar voice

Octivian stepped through the mass of bodies, and Imperial Gold. I heard Nico grumbling things behind me like: "I thought I killed him," and, "I'm going to kill him again for almost killing my friend." I felt touched, angry, and scared at the same time. Is that possible? Apparently so.

"Octivian?" Percy inquired, "I thought you were stuffing bears in that great Build-A-Bear in the sky."

"Shut up, Jackson." He snapped.

Oh he was going to die.

Percy's face was almost as a tomato, with rage. When he cooled down he said, "You're right Octivian."

"WHAT???????????" Me and Octivian asked at the exact same time.

"I need to be serious, you basically have crossed the line by attacking my camp, and almost killing Annabeth. It's time for you to die."

Man.

I LOVE my boyfriend.

And that's when the battle started.
