Percy's POV

We were walking for MILES on end..... My feet feel like they are gonna fall off! I begged Mrs. O' Leary to carry me, but every time I tried to get on, she would kick me off..... TALK ABOUT REJECTION!!! Eventually we can across a small 10 by 10 pond, so I used its waters to carry me. Cool huh?

"Annabeth! How much longer?" I whine.

"Stick a sock in it!" Annabeth hollered. I think she is tired of me saying that for over 15 times.....

We kept walking, and me floating, until we were out of Manhattan. I was comfortably relaxing until all of a sudden I was hitting the hard ground.

"Owwwwww...."I moan. "What was that for?"

"I got tired of you relaxing and everyone else having to walk!" Leo said agitated.

"God..... Sorry! You could hve asked me to switch with you if you wanted it that bad!"

That changed his tone. "Really? In that case.... I would like a nice big throne!" He declared.

"I think you would need a 'Leo Sized Throne', if you ask me..." Nico mutters, earning him a sharp glare from Leo.

"I would, but.... You kind of EVAPORATED ALL OF MY WATER!!!!!!" I screamed. I sped up from the others so I was ahead of them.

I scoped out the area looking for a nice place to rest for a bit. In truth, we looked like zombies. Wait nope..... Those are just Nico's minions he summoned to carry him. Yeah Nico! He takes after me..... Travel in Style!

Nico was fast asleep in his death throne that he was being carried in. I pulled the moisture in the air together over him. Once enough to thourougly soak him was collected, I let it go. Nico gasped as he was soaked in cold water.

"Sorry! You looked way to comfortable for my likings!" I laughed and sat in the grass. Two skeleton hands shot out of the ground and grabbed me. I screamed, probably like a little girl too.... The rest of the skeletons raised out of the ground so I was being held up 6 feet off the ground by two skeltons. How they could hold me with no muscle, I have no clue.

"Sorry! You looked WAY to comfortable for my likings!" Nico sneered, mimicking me. The rest of them just walked past me, acting like I wasnt there. 

"Guys! Help me please!" I yelped as one of the skeleton's bony fingers jabbed my old Achilles Heel. Finally after my friends were almost out of sight, the skeleton's crumbld to dust. I fell hard to the ground and whined for a moment on my almost-broken arm that I landed on.

After my whyning fit was over, I sprinted to catch up to the others. I ran right up behind Nico and tackled him to the ground before anyone could react fast enough.

"Whyyou littl-!" Nico started to yell, but I ripped my shoe and sock off at lightning speed and shoved my dirty sock in his mouth.

"MMMPH!!!" He screamed and spit out the sock. "You're discusting!" He said a few colorful words and shadow traveled.

I looked around me to see where he appeared, but next thing I knew was I was in the same position that Nico had been in just moments before. Nico fell straight down from the tree that was above me and crushed me with a finger-curling SNAP.

I reached up and started smacking Nico as he smacked me. Eventually we were just sitting in front of each other doing that 'kung-fu' thingy.

Annabeth walked inbetween us and punched us really hard in the faces. We fell back smacking our heads on the solid ground.

"We could have solved it ourselves!" I whined.

"Well shut up! Don't you hear that?!" She screamed. I listened, but all I could hear was my racing heartbeat. I slowed my breathing and listened very carefully. I used every sense in my body and shot off the ground. I stared up at the sky to look for the humming I heard.

Next to me, a golden chariot came flying through a tree. Oh-no.....

"You know you love me,

I am just so very cool!

I can make girls drewl!"

A guy stepped off the chariot. He looked about 20 years old. I saw Sadie, Zia, Cleo, Alyssa, and Jaz all started drewling and staring. I roll my eyes.

"SEE! The haikus don't lie!" Apollo said giddly. He sawshayed over to the girls, but Walt and Carter stepped in front of him.

"How do you think you are?" Carter says, sounding pretty pissed. I just face-palm. I only think Walt could really back-sass a god because he technically IS one.

"Who am I?" He turns to me looking annoyed. "You didn't tell them about me?" He pouts.

"Of course not!" Annabeth yells.

"Well! It leaves me the glory of giving an amazing entrance! I am Apollo! King of poems! And very talented Haiku Master!" Apollo says happily.

"Uhuh..... 'TALENTED'...." I mumble.

"Well do I have a message for you! Chiron says he is sendin gout a search party, and so is your Uncle Amos." Apollo said.

That snapped Sadie out of her daze. "OH! We need to go back to Brooklyn House! I can't believe I forgot!"

"For what? What did you forget?" Carter said.

"We need more supplies! DUH!!!!" Sadie yells and breaks into a run.

We all dart after her. Walt and Carter grab the other girls and snap them out of there daze too. They glare at Apollo as they run past him. Apollo just grins. Leo fist bumps Apollo as he runs past him. They kind of think very similar....

We keep running for who knows how long, all the way until we come to an old broken down factory right outside of Brooklyn.
