This chapter took quicker than what I expected. I'm sorry if it isn't any good, I'm not good at writing about Herry. Anyway, thanks to everyone who reviewed but I still haven't decided on whether to write 'The After Series'.

Disclaimers: I don't own Class of the Titans, but if I did it there would be a blockbuster movie, a bestseller book series and not to mention an entire Class of the Titans channel on paytv. Hm, that's an idea….

Chapter Twelve

Herry was once again balancing on the wood fence, completing his morning ritual. One slip could result in agony for a very long time, but Herry wouldn't slip. He had done this way to many times before to not make any fatal errors.

Reaching up above him, he plucked a ripe red apple from the tree and munched on it. It was one of those ones that they use in fairy tales- perfectly red and pure white on the inside. Plenty of juice and an amazing taste. This was his apple- Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty could go get their own.

"Ah," he though. "This is the life!"

Naturally this perfect scene had to be totally wrecked. Reeked as in a huge giant barging in and causing total mayhem.

"What?" Herry thought, as the giant swung his huge fist in his direction. He ducked the blow that could have easily separated his head from his shoulders. He got up, only to find he was now facing two equally ugly giants who didn't know the meaning of fear. Great.

He cracked his knuckles and tried to look tough. It wasn't hard for a guy like him- all he had to do was growl and he would send kids screaming at his school. Not that he would actually do that, but you get the idea.

The giants certainly did. The backed off from the growling teen but didn't run away. They were under strict orders that if not done would result in absolute pain. They weren't going anywhere while this teen was still alive.

That was their first mistake. The second was deciding to have a go at fighting Herry. Big no go for them. Hilarious kicking giant butt for Herry.

First he landed a bone shattering punch on the closest of the two giants' knee. The giant howled in pain and dropped to the ground, his hands cradling the broken knee. The other giant swung at Herry, who easily dodged it. Using his immense strength, Herry grabbed both of the giants' arms and slammed them on the ground. "This is too easy!" Announced Herry, grinning triumphantly. The giants were out cold, and would be for a while.

"T…t…touch wood!" Stuttered Herry as the giants shakily got back to their feet. They must be invincible! How on earth was he going to beat these giants? If Grannie came out of the house that was only 20 meters away the giants would surely kill her. And if he kept fighting them, he would surely die!

He stood facing the giants, not scared. He was not going to let them hurt Grannie.

He ducked and dodged the giants' punches, managing to land some of his own. But he couldn't hold out forever. He was already bruised from one nasty punch and he could hear his breath coming out raggedly. The giants however, seemed to be fine.

And then his feet were lifted off the ground. He looked down to see the giants running away, far below him. He looked up and almost screamed.

There was a griffin holding him in his claws! And he wasn't alone. There were two other teens about his age- a brown haired guy and a small, agile looking girl with short, strikingly red hair. They introduced themselves as Jay and Atlanta. They also had been attacked by giants and didn't have a clue why.

There was also another person riding the griffins. According to Jay and Atlanta, he was an actual god! His name was Hermes, the Greek god of communication. But that's all they knew about him, and that's all he told them about him.

Shortly after Herry joined the group riding the griffins, they went to land outside a Greek style building. Herry slid off, his rear end feeling numb. Those griffins were really uncomfortable!

They walked into the building, unsure of what was happening. They walked through the halls, trying to find someone to ask where on earth they were. But the halls were empty, save them.

Herry stopped outside what looked like a janitor's closet. That lock looked familiar. It looked like the pendant he found last week. He called Jay and Atlanta over and told them. To his surprise, they too had pendants. Jay pulled out his one and fitted it into the lock. The door swung open.

So naturally they went in. As soon as Herry, the last one in, stepped inside the door closed on its own. It was pitch black, so he reached up, trying to find a light. He found a chain and pulled down. An eerie glowing blue wall appeared in front of them. A woman's shadow was visible through it. And then a voice called out from the other side.

"You represent a new age of heroes."

Next chapter will be up soon. I'm sorry if this one is too short, but it took forever to write!! Anyway, thanks everyone
