$Chapter 4$

We landed in a small town called Templeton, Iowa. "Jeez," I said, as we walked down Main Street, "We landed in Hickville, USA." "Got that right." Jake said. That's when we saw smoke and heard screams. We run to the Templeton Hardwire store to find a fire raging inside. A woman was scremaing for her son. We ran into the building and found the little boy....and a Hydra. "Crap." Annabeth said. Jake ran at the hydra, while me and Annabeth got the boy out side. When we want back, Jake cut off one of the heads. "Jake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What?"

"Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Why?"

"If cut a hydra head off," Annabeth looked up, "Two more grow back."

"Oh double crap." Jake said.

The two new hydra heads shot fire at us. Jake and Annabeth stabbed it, but it just wouldn't die. "Ireland!" Annabeth yelled, "Use your powers!"

"But I never tryed!"

"Try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"But-"

"Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They both screamed.

I closed my eyes, and thought I need something to destroy it! I felt the ground start to shake, and a pull in my gut. I opened my eyes and saw skeletons killing the hydra. Jake and Annabeth stared at me for a while until the skeletons were gone. I started shaking. Jake grabbed me before I fell. "Wow." Annabeth said. "Thanks." I replied. "Come on. Let's go." Jake said. When we left, I heard a voice say, "Child of Hades. Your time is coming." O...K. Creepy.
