ChApTeR 3 – The Tour:

Annabeth's POV

The hellhounds charged at us and we all fight for ourselves. I dodged the hellhound that jumped my way and stabbed its back. It dissolves into nothingness and I continue fighting the incoming hellhounds. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Percy slicing hellhounds with Riptide and Thalia thrusting her retractable spear at the hellhounds. A hellhound came running towards Thalia and when she brought her shield in front of her to block the hellhounds, I'm sure the hellhounds will stop and backed away.

To my surprise, it didn't. It went crushing into Thalia's shield. Luckily her shield is strong enough but the force made Thalia stumbled a bit. Now that's a first, I've never seen a monster that is not afraid of Thalia's shield. Now that's weird. I cast the thought aside because I have my own problems to deal with. The hellhounds are overwhelming me. I stabbed a few that came my way but more just keep coming. One almost got me, but I dodged its attack and sent it to Tartaurus.

I saw a hellhound slashing out to Percy and I turned to him and was about to cry out when Nico went to his aid. That short moment when I direct my attention at them got me in trouble. When I turned back to fight more hellhounds, one tackled me and buried its teeth on my shoulder.

"Aahh!" I cried out in pain. The pain was traumatizing and the weight of the hellhound on me wasn't helping things at all. Just when I thought Icouldn't take any more pain, I felt the weight that was on top of me being lifted away. No, it's more like it melted into nothingness.

"Annabeth!" Percy's voice called out to me. "Annabeth wake up!"

I felt like I'm going to faint but I fought to stay conscious. I forced my eyes open and the first thing I saw is Percy's face staring down at me. His face is lace with worry and terror. Soon, Thalia appeared at my field of vision, her expression worry too.

"Hang in there, Annabeth." Thalia said in a worry tone. "Nico is taking care of the hellhounds."

Nico? I turned my head sideways and saw that Nico had his arms raise in the air, and was chanting some sort of spell and soon, all the remaining hellhounds was blasted to pieces. After that, Nico came running towards me too.

"Is she okay?" Nico asked. Percy was poured some nectar at my wounded shoulder and pain was relieved immediately. "She will be okay." Percy replied.

"That's enough nectar, Percy."Thalia warned. "If you give her too much, she will burst into flame." Percy immediately stopped pouring and the pain came back almost in an instant. That's right, we can't consume too much of the godly food or we demigods will die.

I sit up when Thalia finished bandaging my shoulder. "I'm fine now." Even though the pain was not gone, I don't feel like I'm dying anymore. So, it's definitely an improvement. Percy doesn't look reassured, Thalia and Nico eyed me worriedly. I stood up. "I'm fine really." They were about to protest when the gate to the Demigod Academy swung opened.

We all turned to look at it. I shuddered for some reasons and Percy directed his attention back at me. I knew what he was going to say and stopped him before he could say anything. "I'm fine. Let's go."

Percy knew that there's no way to argue with me so he came to my side and wrapped an arm around my waist to keep me steady. He's so sweet.Though I'm never gonna admit it out loud. Thalia and Nico stood protectively at our sides, watching out for anything that might be lurking around. Together, we walked towards the open gate.

We reached the front door and a girl welcomed us. She had long wavy dirty blond hair and eyes the color somewhere between blue and grey. She looked about our age, so she can't possibly be the principal. Plus, the letter that chauffeur showed me a while ago was signed 'Voltaire Ernest' which is obviously a guy name.

"Welcome to Demigod Academy aka D.A. I am Lenalee Ernest, the daughter of the principal." She said that in a formal tone people usually use for the introduction of a speech. "Looks like you've past the entrance exam. I'm a demi-demigod. Just call me Lena." She said that in a tone people would use to talk to their friends and smiled at us. Percy, Nico and Thalia just stared at her. Ugh, somebody seriously needs to teach these people some manners.

I untangle myself from Percy's arm and took a step forward. "I'm Annabeth Chase." I smiled. "This is Percy Jackson." I gestured at Percy. "My boyfriend." I added, just in case. "Nico Di Angelo." I pointed at Nico. "And Thalia Grace." They all follow my lead and smiled. Well, all except Nico. That guy had never liked being around people. But he seriously needs to learn some manners.

"Well, then shall we go meet the principal?" She said and started walking.

We all followed, Percy's arm was back on my waist again. I smiled to myself. We walked through sets of hallways. Surprisingly, the hallway was just like any normal hallway a normal school would have, despite being in a mansion.

After walking up a very wide flight of stairs, Lenalee opened a set of double doors, revealing a very grand but messy office. In the center of the office, was a desk that looked like it came out of a Harry Potter movie. And behind the desk, sat who I assumed was the principal, at a very big armchair, buried in a pile of paperwork.

The principal looked nothing like his daughter. He had dark hair and stormy grey eyes like mine. So, I'm guessing he's a son of Athena. Lenalee said before that she was a demi-demigod, which means that she was the daughter of a demigod. So the principal must be a demigod.

"Father, I've brought the campers from Camp Half-Blood that are going to study at the Academy." Lenalee said and the principal looked up from his paper work and directed his attention at us. He looked younger than I thought.

"I see, so you've past the entrance exam." The principal said in an amused tone. "Shouldn't be surprising actually."Entrance exam? Lenalee was saying something about that too.

"Entrance exam?" Percy asked, voicing our thoughts.

"Oh, yes. The entrance exam." The principal replied calmly. "The hellhounds."

We all looked shocked. I tried to keep a straight face but I think I failed. "Y-you can control those hellhounds?" Thalia asked. "But that's impossible!"

"Oh, you've mistaken. Those weren't real monsters. I can't control monsters. Those were just artificial monster automatons." The principal replied. "They were very realistic weren't they." He said in a stating the fact tone more than a question tone.

"That's why the hellhound wasn't scared by Aegis!" I exclaimed. "And that's why it dissolves into nothingness when we killed it instead of monster dust!"

"Now that you mention it, I felt like the hellhounds weren't normal either." Nico said. "Hellhounds are creatures of the Underworld but it won't listen to me at all."

"Ahh.. I guess we still need improvements." The principal smiled. "As expected from the campers Chiron chose."

"Now then, wouldn't you like to tour the school? Go on with Lena."

"First, I guess we should go to your dorms" Lena said as she led us down hallway. I noticed something I hadn't noticed before. Some of the hallways are more organized than others and some are filled with Greek stuff and others are not.

"Why are some hallways different from others?" I asked Lena.

"Oh, you noticed. Our school is divided in two. Half Greek. Half Roman. Some of the hallways are where the Greek demigods go to class and such and others are where Roman demigods go to class. We divided it so it won't cause any trouble." She explained.

"Romans demigods come to school here too?" Thalia asked.

"Yep, a lot of them." Lena replied.

The rest of the walk was silent. We went up a few flights of stairs and finally Lena stopped in front of one room that labels 'Perseus Jackson and Annabeth Chase'. Next to that room was labeled 'Nico Di Angelo and Thalia Grace.'

"Looks like we're roommates." Thalia said and bumped Nico's shoulder with her own.

"Y-yeah." Nico nodded.

"Just have a look first and we will go see the classrooms you are going to be study at." Lena said. "After that, you will have plenty of time to rest."

"Okay."We said and burst into our rooms.

It was the best dorm room any student can ever ask for. It's grand like everything else in the mansion. Two four-poster beds are waiting for us at the middle of the room. There's a T.V. facing the beds. I walked to the other side of the room to check the bathroom out. It's as amazing as I imagined. It had a bathtub big enough to fit 4 or 5 people. I can just imagine how comfortable it would be. I went out of the bathroom and Percy was nowhere in sight.

"Percy!" I called out.

"Out here!" His voice is coming from the balcony so I went out to the balcony. The view was magnificent. We were several floors up. From this point of view, we can see the whole forest and the city. We can see almost everything. It's like the whole world is in front of my eyes.

"Wow."

"I know right."

"Percy! Annabeth!" Thalia's voice called out. We turned and saw her waving at us from her balcony. Nico was there too, looking down at the woods.

"Um, I thought you were afraid of heights, Thalia."Percy said, not exactly the best thing to say at the moment because Thalia looked down at that and her face paled.

"Percy!" I scolded him.

"I'm sorry. It just slipped." He looked at me innocently.

We all went out of the room and Thalia looked a little green.

"Are you okay? Thals." I asked.

"I-I'm fine." She replied.

"What happened?" Lena asked.

"Oh, Thalia is afraid of heights." Percy said.

"I'm never going out to that balcony ever again." Thalia groaned.

Lena smiled. "Okay then, let's go somewhere without near the ground."

Lena showed us a few classrooms we would have classes in. Ancient Greek, Mathematics, History(Mythology) and Defense Against Monsters(theory). Then we went out of the mansion to the Pegasus stables. I can see Percy eyeing the pegasi and knew that he is probably talking to them. Since he speaks Horse. Weird, I know. I had a boyfriend that wears cartoon printed boxers and speaks Horse. How weird can my life get? But that's how it is for demigods. We can't have a normal life.

A man that looked about in his mid-40 walked out of the stable. He stared at us, surprised but was quickly recovered. His gaze lingered on Percy and Percy was looking a little weird too.

"Paris!" Lena called out to him. The guy named Paris directed his attention to her and scowled. "What are you doing here, brat?"

Lena giggled. "Don't be so mean, Paris. I'm just taking these newcomers on a tour around the Academy."

Paris eyed us again.

"Oh yeah, Paris is gonna be your Pegasus flying teacher and maybe also swimming?" Lena said.

Percy and Thalia smiled at Paris. Nico just nodded.

"He looks familiar." Percy whispered to me.

"Well, now that you mention it, he had sea green eyes and dark hair, just like you." I said as I examined Paris. Weird. Is this a coincidence? No, it can't be. There's no coincidence for us demigods.

"He reminds me of som-" Percy was cut off by Thalia's call for us to hurry up, they were already halfway to the door.

"Coming!" I yelled back and started running towards them, with Percy behind me.

"Lena was just telling us that she's gonna show us the combat gym" Thalia told me when we reached them.

"Sounds cool, let's go then." I smiled.

We all let out exclamations when we reached the gym. The gym was so big it could fit 3 soccer fields and still have plenty of space left. There was all kinds of weapons and equipment. In the middle, there was a big mat with a big circle in it. I guess that's where we will be fighting. Around the circle, there was all kinds of weapons. Bows, arrows, swords, tridents, scythes, spears, knives and some other weapons I don't recognize. They were all made out of different materials. I recognize Celestial Bronze, Imperial Gold, metal and stygian. And there were others that are made out of materials I have never seen before.

There was a target practice next to the circle, practice dummies, training equipment and such. Thalia picked up a bow and arrows and went to the target practice corner. Nico went to check the different kinds of sword out. Percy stayed by my side though I can tell he wanted to go try some of the dummies out with Riptide.

"Go on." I told him.

"But-"

"I'll be fine."

He gave me one worried glance and ran towards one of the dummies. He punched the dummy and cut its head off.

"Aren't you gonna try something out?" Lena asked, next to me. When did she get so close?

"Nah. I'm fine here." I said. "Um, sorry about destroying the dummies." I added when I saw Percy cutting off another dummy head.

"It's fine. They are supposed to be used for practice anyway, we can get some replace." She smiled.

I scanned the room. Thalia was shooting arrows and all of them hit the bull's eye. She pulls back the bow, and released. Letting the arrow fly. It pierces the original arrow that was there and replaces it in the center of the target. Nico had joined Percy in fighting the dummies.

At the corner of the room, there was a weird device connected to a chair that looks like the kind you sleep in when you go to a dentist. It all looks so complicated.

"Lena, what's that device over there?" I asked.

"Oh, you noticed. That's a simulator. It simulates different kinds of situation in different kinds of environment with different kinds of monsters a demigod can encounter and train them." She explained.

"That's… a useful device." I stated.

"Indeed."

After we asked, called, yelled, coaxed, begged, and threatened, they finally agree to let us drag them out of the gym. Yes, in that order and DRAG. I dragged Percy with my right hand, Lena dragged Nico with her left hand and together we each hold one of Thalia's hands and dragged them all out.

Have you ever tried dragging 3 people? If you haven't I recommend you to not try it. Dragging two boys that obviously weigh more than me and Lena combined and a girl that won't stop thrashing around made my list of 'Hardest Things I've Ever Done'.

Anyways we managed to drag them out, don't underestimate girls. Since I noticed the device in the gym, Lena is going to bring us to meet the inventor of that device.

On our way there, we met a man with a stern expression walked past us. He scowled when he saw us, and it kinda reminds me the way Zeus scowls.

"Lena, who's that guy with the come-near-me-and-I'll-make-you-pay expression?" I asked.

Lena laughed. "He is our lead janitor." She said and giggled.

"He sure is a stern lead janitor." Thalia said, laughing.

"Well, I'm glad I didn't go near him, or he might blast me with his broom." Percy said and laughed.

Lead janitor? Well, now that she mentioned it, he was wearing a janitor suit and holding a weird looking broom that might just be a demigod-blasting broom.

We reached a metal door and Lena knocked a secret knock. And because I am who I am, I memorized it instantly.

Knock, knock knock. Knock. Knock. Knock, knock, knock. Knock.

A sensor appeared and Lena scanned it with some kind of ID. The light of the sensor flashed green and the metal door slid open, revealing a white lab where everything is white. Yes, literally everything. The ceiling, the floor, the equipment even the guy that was working in front of a computer. He turned his attention to us when we enter. He looked like he was about to scold us but when his eyes landed on Lena, his face softened. But that doesn't make him looked any less like a wild mad scientist. He looks like a real life mad scientist with his spiky silver hair with wild glasses and lab coat.

"New friends, Lena? Care to introduce?" He spoke.

"Okay. This is Annabeth Chase, Daughter of Athena." She gestured at me, "Percy Jackson. Nico Di Angelo and Thalia Grace."

"Nice to see you people, I'm Dr. Scrivener." He said and opened his mouth to say something more but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Percy? Annabeth? Thalia and Nico too?"

That's it. CLIFFY. SOWWY. Or else it will be too long. Thanks for reading! Next time.
