A/N- Hello everyone! Sorry for the wait (I say that way too many times, don't I?). Well, I haven't been able to write as much as I want due to the excess schoolwork. Oh, well, read on.

Percy POV-

Well, that was interesting. At least they didn't kill each other, right? Fighting over a sweater, I swear, girls are insane. Anyways, we were all scrambling back to whatever room we came from.

"Guys, I think someone's headed this way." Nico said in a warning tone. I glanced at the giant hole that now covered our wall. I didn't think that would be an issue since the mortals can't see the house anyway, but it looks like I was wrong. Something was flying this way; it looked like a big animal with wings. Wait, wings? That couldn't be…

Hey Boss said the very familiar voice in my head. I sighed with relief, "Blackjack, what are you doing her?" Then I saw the person sitting on him, "Rachel!"

"Hey, Percy." She greeted with enthusiasm, "Nico, Carter." She nodded in their directions.

Carter looked bewildered, "How do you know my name?" he asked.

"Being the oracle does have its advantages." She chirped.

"Oracle? What's the…Oh! You mean the Greek oracle? Like the Oracle of Delphi?" Carter asked probably having read about it somewhere. "But, isn't the oracle supposed to be very old?" he said looking doubtfully at Rachel.

"Rachel, how'd you find us?" Nico asked staring at Blackjack who was galloping around the room.

"When I got out of school, I didn't know how to get here, so I did the only thing I could think of, I sent an Iris Message to Blackjack."

Nico stared at her, "You Iris Messaged a horse?"

I am a Pegasus, Blackjack's voice bellowed inside my head there's a big difference you know. He was flapping his wings so hard, everyone else were probably getting a little worried he'll send things flying off.

"Umm…Percy, what's he saying?" Rachel questioned looking at me.

I rolled my eyes, "He said he's a Pegasus not a horse."

"Oh… sorry Jack." She grinned. The horse didn't seem to hear her comment.

I'm gonna go have a fly, ha ha get it Boss?

"Yes, I get it." I replied, not to sound rude. He flew back through the big hole. "So, how exactly did you find us?" I turned back to Rachel.

She shrugged, "Easy, I just looked for the giant almost-invisible building with a big hole in the wall."

"Are you a demi-god too?" Carter asked, clearly trying to fit everything in place.

"Didn't I just say I was the oracle?" Rachel inquired.

Carter was still looking doubtful but didn't say anything else. Annabeth and Sadie came back to the room wondering what's going on. Annabeth's eyebrows scrunched up when she saw Rachel, "What are you doing here? Don't you have school?"

"Hey, Annabeth! Just wanted to chat." She replied, "Hello, Sadie."

"Okay…who in the world are you and how do you know my name?" Sadie asked sounding like she was already ready to beat her up.

She didn't get the chance to answer, for the whole place was suddenly filled with wings.

3rd Person POV-

"Birds?" Sadie shouted in disbelief. "Why would a bunch of birds want to attack us?"

"These are Stymphalian Birds!" Annabeth replied.

"You know man-eating birds that could eat you alive?" Thalia remarked while getting her shield and sword out. Percy took Riptide out as well and started slashing the birds that got in his way. Riya and Maddy quickly ran into the room as well, both of them holding a dagger and a small, silver shield. Sadie and Carter summoned their staffs.

Soon, the fighting broke out everywhere with the birds flying all around the place; it was almost impossible to see how the others were doing. Nico was banishing as many of them as he could to the Underworld but was getting extremely exhausted. Two of the birds decided to use this to his advantage and started to slowly pick him up with their bronze beaks and talons.

"Oh, no you don't!" Sadie shouted, "A'max!" Two small fires lighted up from the end of her staff and burned down the two birds making them drop Nico on the floor.

Percy was killing as many of the birds as he could, but more kept coming. Thalia had electrified about two dozens of them but still wasn't enough. Riya joined in the fight and started throwing her poisonous darts at the birds, but that only stopped them for a little while. Carter kept doing the Ha-wi spell to force the birds to move away. Sadie went and joined him.

Maddy stood at the back with Rachel, neither of them being much of a fighter, until a swarm of the birds decided to hurl themselves straight at them. Maddy's eyes got wide and not having another choice, took her palm pout and yelled, N'dah! Suddenly, all of them fell to the ground as if they collided with an invisible shield of some kind. The remaining birds decided to fly away leaving everyone speechless.

A/N- I am going to edit this story, because I've been re-reading and I have so many mistakes. I didn't want to delete the story and then edit it though, so I'll just start replacing all the chapters. And do you think I should do 3rd person more often? I hope you review!
