Hey guys, I'm so sorry that I didn't update sooner but, thank you to all those readers who continued to read my story and shoutout to mari_lom12, karinacat59, and DisneyKaye for continuing (maybe) to read my story. I didn't edit any of this so there's probably going to be typos. I'm probably not going to update soon since I have another story I'm writing anyway, BYEEE

Percy's POV
At last, we reached a door. "Time to find out who the new teacher is," Harry said taking a deep breath.
"Let's find out," Hermione said, turning the knob and walking in.
I followed them in and gasped dramatically. "Nico!?" I asked
"Yeah," he said. "Chiron told me to come here to make sure you don't get yourself killed. Especially after... Never mind, I'll tell you later,"
"Okay,"
"Were you following us the whole entire time?!" Harry asked
"Umm..."
"Stocker," Harry mumbled.
We took our seats as other kids started to pour in. Once everyone came in, Nico started the lesson. "So... Umm... My name is Nico and I'm supposed to teach you people about defense against the dark arts and stuff..."
"Why are you teaching us? You look younger than us!" A kid with blonde hair and green robes said.
"Because i am, deal with it," Nico snapped "anyway, today we won't be using wands. Actually, we probably won't be using wands the whole year,"
Everyone groaned. "Not another Umbridge!" Someone complained.
"Shh!!!" Nico said annoyed. "We won't be using wands because we'll be using these," Nico said bringing out a box.
He reached into the box and took out a wooden sword. "Wands are great and all but it isn't really that great if you get your wand taken away. Swords are especially good against monsters,"
"Is this legal?" The kid with blonde hair asked.
Nico shrugged. "Maybe... I dunno. Anyway, when you finish the school year, you'll be better at sword fighting or using a dagger or whatever you choose. Percy, could you please come up here?" Nico asked
I got up and walked to the front of the classroom. "Yeah?" I ask
"Me and Percy are going to show you an example. Watch the techniques and strategies we use," Nico explained.
He got out his usual stygerian iron sword and I took our riptide. "Ready?" He asked.
I smirked. "Your going down death death,"
"Sure fish boy," Nico said as he lunged towards me and jabbed.
I swiped away the sword and aimed towards Nico's arm, Nico blocked the attack. "Bro," Nico said quietly so no one could hear
"Yeah?" I asked while avoiding one of his attacks.
"You do realize we're fighting without armor right?"
"Well your the teacher so you're the one responsible,"
"I'm so going to take you down Percy,"
I ducked underneath Nico's sword and jabbed at his legs. Nico leaped and jabbed at me. I raised my sword to block the attack. Nico lunged towards me and I saw a chance to disarm him. I quickly twisted my blade and disarmed Nico and held my blade to his neck. I capped riptide again. Nico stood up. "And that's how you sword fight,"
He finished. "Now, choose a weapon,"
Everyone got up. Hermione got a dagger, Harry got a sword, Ron got a sword, and Ginny got a bow and arrow. "I brought in some extra people since I'm not that good with things other than a sword,"
At that moment, Will and Thalia. Thalia looked around the classroom and winked when she saw me. We split into groups.
Harry's POV
That Percy is such a show off. I could fight way better than that. It's easy, I've used a sword before and not just a fake wooden sword. I have a bad feeling about Percy, he's probably evil like his grandfather, his mother's dad. Kronos had told me right before my dream ended that Voldermort was Percy's grandfather. It makes perfect sense! Actually, no it doesn't... they don't look anything alike. Percy has hair, Voldermort has none, Percy has green eyes, Voldermort has red slits for eyes, Percy has a nose and Voldermort well... Doesn't! But, they seem very similar in other ways. Percy has the same 'charm' as Tom Riddle had. Percy has the same dark hair as Voldermort did when he was younger. Also- "Harry? Are you even listening?" Percy asked me snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Huh? What? Oh, yeah," I said

Annabeth's POV
"How long have we've been in here?" Sadie complained.
I checked my phone. "1 day,"
"Ugh!" She groaned. "Can I try blowing this place up one more time?" She asked
"No, don't you remember last time? It didn't work out well,"
"What else are we supposed to do?" Sadie asked.
"I don't know,"
"Shouldn't you know? You're the smart one here!"
"Umm... Annabeth?" Leo said.
"What Leo?"
"Could I use your phone?" He asked
"Why?"
"I want to play candy crush!"
"Your going to waste all the battery!"
"Well if I die, I want to die playing candy crush!"
I sighed. "We're not going to die Leo!"
"Then what are we going to do?!" Sadie asked.
"We're going to get out of here!" I said
"How?"
I scanned my surroundings me. We were in a room with no door, no windows, no light, well except for Leo whose hand was on fire. I touched a wall. It was cold and smooth, it felt like metal but... It couldn't be otherwise Sadie could of broke it. "Leo, what if you try melting the wall, it might work,"
Leo walked towards the wall and put both of his hands on it. He set them on fire. He shook his head. "Didn't work," he said sighing.
I looked at the spot where Leo put his hands on. The wall was smoking though there wasn't a sign of damage or burns. There had to be a way out. If we there was a way in, there has to be a way out too unless there isn't one. What if the person who got us in just shadow traveled or something. What if they just built a box with an inside and no door. There has to be a way out, I told myself. Nothing is perfect and because of that, there has to be a flaw in this jail. Maybe it's just hidden. I felt the smooth cool wall and tried to feel for a handle, a knob, anything that might lead us out. "What are you doing?" Sadie asked.
"Trying to feel for a way out," I told her
"I'll try too,"
"Me too!" Leo said getting up
We felt the walls but still, nothing. "Ugh! This is annoying!" Sadie said punching the wall where Leo had tried to burn.
The wall had a dent in it now. "Sadie! Look behind you!" I told her
"Whoa," she said feeling the dent,"
"Do it again!" I told her.
She punched the wall again and again and again. The wall now had a hole in it. "You did it!" Leo said excitedly. "We could leave! I could see calypso again!"
Leo started to run towards the hole. "Wait..." I said.
No light was coming through the hole. We stepped through it and found ourselves in a similar room, just with a crossroad in it. There were three paths. Each one looked exactly the same. Everywhere was covered with the exact same metal. This metal was more shiner, like new tin foil not yet folded or bent. I looked to a side and saw a camera in the dim light of Leo's hand being on fire. On the other side of the tunnel, there was a speaker. "Hey peoples!" Setne's voice said through the speaker. "I see you've gotten through one of the rooms. Your pretty smart Annie, I'll give you that but, sorry. Your not leaving anytime soon! LK and LV aren't done with there 'important' business yet so that means that I get to play with you guys! I really hope you pass these tests. I honestly do but, sorry! Anyway, see you never! It's not likely you get pass these obstacles plus, if you die here, it's way less painful then what Lk and LV have planed for you. This test is just like the labyrinth. I hope that brings back some memories for you. Anyway, since none of you are mortal, none of you could sense the best way out so, byeeeee!!!!" Setne finished.
Sadie gritted her teeth. "I hate him," she said balling her hands into a fist. "Now, what path do we take?"
"I don't know," I said. Suddenly, a light coming from a lantern appeared in the middle path, a silvery otter made of light appeared in the left path, and on the right, there was a loud scream. "We should go on the middle path," Sadie said quickly. "The otter might be evil,"
"Wait... The scream sounds familiar," I told them
"Yeah," Leo said
"But the scream could mean monsters," Sadie protested.
"Help!" The voice said.
Me and Leo looked at each and nodded. "It's Rachel," we told sadie. "We got to go rescue her," Leo told Sadie.
Sadie looked between the two of us and groaned. "Fine,"
We ran through the right path. In no time, we found Rachel who was panting. "What's wrong?" I asked her
"There's- a- monster- there," she said in between breaths, pointing behind her
"What type of monster?" I asked
She looked up at me and looked me straight in the eye. She stopped breathing heavily and now breathed normally again. "Kampè," she said in a low voice.
As soon as she said that, I heard a noise coming from further in the tunnel. "Run!" Rachel said as we all took off running.
We came back to the crossroad. "Which way?" I asked her urgently.
"Umm..." She hesitated. "That way!" She pointed.
We ran through the passage with the otter and found ourselves at a dead end. "Rachel!" I said.
"Sorry!" She said. The silvery otter started floating up.
"Huh?" Rachel said confused. She looked up. There was a tunnel that went up. "We got to go up!" She announced.
"How?" I asked.
Rachel looked at the wall and touched it. "This is how," she told us.
She put her other hand on the wall and then her feet. She slowly started to climb up the wall. Leo and Sadie grinned and started to climb. I slowly put my hand on the wall. With struggle, I took my hand off the wall. "Come on!" Sadie said.
Rachel was now five feet up the wall. Slowly, I put one hand on the wall. Then another. I put my foot on it and then the other and slowly started to climb, gradually getting faster. I was about halfway up when I looked down and saw how high up I was. Luckily, I wasn't afraid of heights. I continued to climb. Suddenly, gravity changed and we were upside down. The stickiness of the wall was gone and we fell on our backs. Suddenly, we heard a loud screech and there she was, Kampe.
