If you're reading this, congratulations, you are considered important in either the mortal or demigod world. It is of the utmost importance that the information in this file remains classified, and that the events it contains information on never occur again. In this file you will find the information regarding the clash of both human and demigod worlds.

The subjects of this file are two seemingly normal teenagers, one male and one female, both the age of sixteen and residents of New York. Throughout the years the two had been drawing the attention of the CIA, and were being monitored closely. After recent events that occurred in the summer, the CIA had reason to believe the two were a possible threat to the United States and decided to take action. The information that follows is the recollections of the two teenagers throughout their interactions with the intelligence agency.

Chapter 1: Caught in Action

Percy-

I scanned my surroundings trying to determine if what I was seeing was right or not.

"Annabeth are you sure we're in the right place? It doesn't look like anything suspicious is going on here."

I heard Annabeth huff as she got up from tying her shoe. "Percy two things: one this is exactly where Chiron said the Nymphs reported the activity. Two we haven't even been here five minutes! There is no way you could establish whether or not suspicious activity is going on!"

"Is this even important? I mean if the Nymphs see you with a can they're going to be suspicious of you." I said to her and then turned to the woods surrounding the field we were in, "Not everyone with an aluminum can is going to litter you know!"

"When you wake up with a bunch of bugs in your bed you'll know why." Annabeth said from beside me, "Now come on we need to actually search the area."

"I really think this is just a waste of time… Why did Chiron send us, two of his greatest heroes, if not the greatest heroes he has ever trained in the thousands of years he's been alive, to deal with something so small? Why not some of the less experienced campers? They need practice out in the real world too!"

"Maybe because it's not something so small."

I chuckled, "What could possibly—" I was cut off by the sound of something flying by my ear.

"Duck!" Annabeth ordered pushing me on the ground.

I groaned, "Annabeth I know it's only been a few months, but I'm invincible remember." I said as I lifted my face off the ground.

She narrowed her eyes, "I know that! But we don't know what direction it is shooting from. Do you want to risk getting shot in your Achilles Heel?"

"Well no, but do you even know what the it is?"

"What other monster do you know that can shoot stuff at you?"

"Manticore?"

"Exactly that. So get ready to fight." She said taking out her dagger.

I followed her example and pulled Riptide out of my pocket and uncapped it. After waiting several minutes for a sign of the monster's location we got what we were waiting for.

"Squawk!" Annabeth and I both spun around to face the direction the noise had come from.

"Um Annabeth does a Manticore squawk?" I asked looking at her through the corner of my eye.

"Not that I know of…" she answered uneasily. I didn't get to ask my next question. Our foe had decided to show itself.

Um that's not a Manticore Annabeth…."

"I know that! But this doesn't make any sense, what else could have been—"

Her thoughts were interrupted by the Sphinx in front of us. Our reactions were synced, while I dove to the right Annabeth went left working her way towards the monster's back to attack it while I distracted the creature. I took the risk of diving near the monster's face the idea worked... just a little too well. As I was scrambling to get out of the way the Sphinx brought its paw down swatting me into the tree.

As I clambered to my feet I saw Annabeth behind the monster her hat in her left hand and her knife in the other. She drove her knife deep into its fur. The Sphinx reared up in protest and Annabeth rolled away without her knife. I saw that she was unarmed and in danger of being squashed by the monster and began to run to her aid. I ran to the underside of the Sphinx and as it came back down onto all fours I drove Riptide up into the creature's chest. Finally after nearly losing a limb or two, barely avoiding getting stepped on, and a little more help from Annabeth, we had managed to reduce the monster to a pile of dust.

"Now that that's done with, can we go?" I said while capping Riptide.

"Why would we go?" She asked as she was picking up her knife.

"That was the problem wasn't it?"

"I don't think so. If that were the case the Nymphs would have specifically told Chiron the problem was a monster. They specifically said suspicious activity, it's almost like they're unsure of what it is…"

I went over to hug her, after a few seconds I bent down to peck her on the lips. "Chiron said he wanted this to be a day trip and it's getting late. So let's call it a day and head back to Camp; its Capture the Flag tonight and I don't want to miss it. Plus I'd like to take a nap to recharge after fighting that Sphinx."

She was quiet for a little bit, just leaning into me and resting her head on my shoulder, but she finally stood up straight and looked at me. "See that's the thing we fought a Sphinx, not a Manticore. Sphinxes can't shoot things at you."

"Well there still might be a Manticore out there waiting to kill us, don't worry it'll attack us sooner or later." I said trying to reassure her and lighten the mood.

"Percy you're a child of the big three, there's no way a Manticore would not have attacked us by now, our combined scent would be a huge signal to any monster."

"Well I don't know maybe it was the Sphinx shooting at us- No never mind that's stupid," I said shaking my head, "they have no way to shoot anything at us."

"Whatever it was it has to be the reason we're here, so what the Hades was shooting at us?"

"That would have been us." In the time it took me to spin around and face the intruders I heard two loud bangs, and before I could even comprehend what was going on I saw Annabeth fall to the ground.
