Goode Luck

A/N The chapters are getting shorter. The plot of the story was starting to fall apart, so it's time to wrap it up with this one. Only one more chapter after this one.
Don't worry. The sequel will be much better ;)

Annabeth POV

The last thing you expect to come home to from a romantic date of hellhound fighting, is an empousa fight.

"CAN WE GET A LITTLE HELP HERE?!" Connor yelled from the living room. The four non-demigods ducked into the hall as the rest of us pulled out our weapons.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Katie growled. Thalia, Nico, and Connor all stood in the center of the living room surrounding an empousa in a track suit. She turned to face us, and I gasped.

"But we killed you this morning!" Travis cried. She cackled and turned on us.

"My patron has released me, now you shall pay!" And with that welcoming opening statement, she lunged at us. A stupid move, considering all of the weapons pointed at her. Unfortunately for us, she'd learned a few things from before, and managed to block all of our strikes at her.

"You're all fools," She said silkily, "Soon enough you will all perish, I'm doing you a favor. Let me kill you quickly, and painfully." She cooed. Immediately all the males in the room let their weapons fall to their sides.

"Oh great, now she flirts with all our boyfriends." Silena grumbled, "Oh well, bye bye!" She said, and with a final stab she got the empousa in the chest, turning her to dust. The guys snapped out of it.

"What just happened?" Percy asked, his voice raising up an octave, "She was supposed to die earlier!" He wined and poked at a couple of scratches she'd managed to get in before Silena killed her.

"Go get the nectar," I sighed repetitively, "Thalia, what happened? And where's Rachel?"

"She's hiding in the bathroom." Thalia said, and winced as she staunched the blood flow from her leg, "At this rate we'll be out of nectar by next week!" Clarisse came into the living room holding a bottle of nectar and some ambrosia squares.

"Eat up, everyone." As we all munched on the godly food, I pondered what had just happened.

"That's impossible! She can't have reformed that quickly!"

"She mentioned a patron," Nico said, "Maybe she had help."

"Not many people are that powerful," This was getting much too serious.

"Listen, I'm gonna take Trinity home, ok?" Hayden said, "We'll see you guys Monday." We all muttered goodbyes as the couple left.

"It's a long ways from Tartarus to Manhattan. I don't understand how she reformed so quickly." Chris said, "I worked with the bad side for a while," he winced, "They don't have anyone that powerful anymore."

"Something's happening." I said grimly, "And whatever it is, it's worse than Kronos rising."

"We really need to talk to Chiron." Percy said. I reached over and slipped my hand into his.

"I'm going to Olympus tomorrow to check up on construction, I'll talk to one of the gods then." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Well, I'm going to bed. If we're going to be fighting more monsters, I need my battle rest." Clarisse said.

"Lets hope we live through the night." Connor muttered, earning a slap from… everyone.

"I don't think you understand what you're doing…" Stupid mortal…
