The Chloe Chronicles: The Lost Goddess

Andrew- Attack on Demigods

Andrew tried to catch his breath as he and Chloe ran back towards the mess hall. When they arrived campers were already preparing for battle and Andrew found Annabeth shouting orders to his other siblings.
"Andrew! Where did you go?!"
"I had to talk to Chloe!" Andrew yelled over the chaos. "She knows what is attacking us somehow, I think she saw them!"
Chloe nodded. "I didn't see them..I felt them. Somehow my brain made a connection to a myth I once read. Annabeth, we can't fight these things."
Suddenly the chatter in the mess hall silenced and everyone looked at Chloe.
"What? Chloe we must defend ourselves!" Annabeth said.
"I know but sending people up front to fight them won't work. They will get eaten. We have to approach them from the air-"
"How long have you been here?!" A voice shouted from behind them and Andrew cringed.
"Celeste please-"
"No Andrew, I am going to speak." Celeste said, stepping forward.
Celeste Keathley, daughter of the rich and astounded lawyer John Richards Keathley, and also Andrew's half sister. Celeste had many different views than everyone in the Athena cabin, and she had few friends at camp.
Celeste especially was not fond of Percy, like most of Andrew's siblings. Celeste was cruel and rude, always performing actions before actually thinking about them and the affect they would have. Celeste surveyed Chloe with a glare that made Andrew's skin crawl. She drew her knife and held it towards Chloe, most of her siblings doing the same with their weapons.
"Please," Chloe said, holding her hands up. "Just listen to me! These monsters aren't like anything you have ever trained to kill because you haven't ever been trained to kill them! Some of you think the best way to defeat them is to rush over and try to slice up their legs. It won't work."
"Oh really?" Celeste said. "How would you know?"
Chloe's held her bracelet wrapped hand to her chest and bowed her head. "I've dreamt things about them."
Celeste scoffed and began clapping sarcastically. "Gee thanks crazy girl but I don't think we need advice from someone who talks to their imaginary friends all day."
Andrew clinched his fists and Annabeth put a hand on his shoulder.
Celeste continued with her insults, giving Chloe an evil grin. "Why don't you go back to mental institution you came from and leave the heroics to people who know what they're doing?"
Andrew felt the earth shake, giant footsteps were heading towards them. Chloe looked off to the side and then turned slowly towards Annabeth, leaving her eyes downcast.
"I know I'm right about this. Please, we don't have any more choices."
Annabeth stood there for a moment and then drew her sword.
"I don't know anything about these things, but it looks like you do. We have people on the ground we need to protect. From what you've told me, I can come up with a plan to get everyone to a safer area until we can comprise together a tactical assault. Beta team, you go pass the word onto Clairesse and the hunters. They need to get people out now. Alpha team will go with me and Percy to scout a safe escape route for the people in the infirmary. Andrew, you will come with me. Everyone else, make sure everyone makes it out alive. Now spread!"
Andrew put on his armor in lightning speed, ignoring Celeste's glare. He noticed from the corner of his eye, Annabeth was helping Chloe fit into a breast plate. Percy jogged over and pointed behind him.
"It came out of nowhere and swatted at me. Annabeth, it is so big! Larger than the gods I think."
"How far behind us?"
"Maybe 500 yards. I sprayed it with a few waves, it got a little angry."
"Alright, let's hurry. If it steps on the infirmary we lose twenty campers."
Percy drew his sword and kissed Annabeth on the cheek as the alpha team began to move forward. The group ran by Chiron who shot a few arrows into the forest, emitting a foul smelling yellow gas into the air.
Chloe jogged beside Andrew, a wild look in her eye. "Nico is in the infirmary." She said. "We need to get him out."
Andrew looked ahead, seeing the infirmary just a few yards away when a horrifying roar came from behind them.
"KCAHLOWIE!"
The air filled itself with the smelly breath of the monsters and Andrew covered his mouth. The new stench of what Andrew guessed was death filled his lungs. The ground rumbled behind them with footsteps and the group came upon a large group of campers, who were trapped by fallen trees to large to climb over.
"We need to get these people out of here!" Annabeth shouted.
"There's no water around!" Percy shouted back. "I can't lift everyone up!"
Andrew looked behind him and he saw a large foot peek out of the forest. The toes were a gnarled yellow with blisters and warts.
"Ugh," Andrew said. "It's the god's ugly cousins."
Percy stepped in front of Chloe protectively, glaring at the monster.
"Leave this place!" He shouted.
The monster cocked it's head to the side as if it were a dog and smiled, showing Percy red stained teeth, and what Andrew guessed were pieces of flesh.
"KCAHLOWIE!" The monster roared again.
Percy's eyes widened and he sent Chloe backward. "Chloe, run!" He said.
"W-what?! No, I can't!"
"Chloe that thing wants you! It's calling your name!"
Andrew held his sword out, pointing the sharp tip at a damaging point on the chest.
Chloe turned to run, and Andrew sprinted away with her, looking behind him to see Percy engage with the monster's foot.
"Why does that thing want you?!" Andrew yelled.
"I would tell you if I knew!" Chloe said back. Chloe stopped at a tree and began climbing up the trunk.
"Common, we can attack it from up here!" Chloe said, motioning for Andrew to follow.
Andrew's mind buzzed with different strategies. The easiest one had to be to blitz attack the beast once it stepped under the long branches.
"KCAHLOWIE!" The monster roared again and Andrew coughed.
"Ugh, do monsters not brush their teeth? Seriously, this smell is pungent!"
Chloe looked down below them, waiting for the monster to step into place.
"If they stay where they are they'll just get eaten." Chloe said.
"Isn't there only one?"
Chloe shook her head. "No. Three are in our borders. It's like, I can feel their hunger for demigods."
"You said that they would..eat anything?"
Chloe nodded. "Some have more goat-like features. Others, look more human."
"Wait, so they're basically rabid, giant, satyrs?"
"Yes."
Andrew felt a plan forming in his head. They weren't that far away from the infirmary, if they were going to save the people inside, they had to do something now.
"I have an idea. How did someone stop these things, in a myth?"
"No one ever did. Hercules was considered to battle them as part of his ten trials, but it never happened."
"Okay so we start from scratch." Andrew said.
His eyes whirred around, trying to find anything that could be useful. His eyes fell upon a weapon that the Ares campers had left behind. It hadn't been tested yet, but then again a new weapon in the Ares cabin never gets tested before usage.
The sub machine barrel could hold as many spears as it pleased the shooter. The gun looked almost like something that would be on top of a tank. The spears would go around 500 to 2000 yards based on the angle they were being shot from. If Andrew and Chloe could possibly get the gun on top of the infirmary roof, they could kill the creatures without having to approach them.
Andrew told Chloe his plan, and she climbed down the tree and ran towards the gun. Once Andrew climbed down, he felt a giant hand enclose itself around his waist. He screamed and began struggling against the monster's grip.
"Gah, Billy goats gruff has me!"
Andrew stabbed his knife into the back of the monster's hand. The monster cried out and dropped him, Andrew knowing the fall would kill him. As he edged closer to the ground, he saw Chloe run under him, and hold out her arms. As their bodies collided the ground underneath them trembled and an imprint appeared in the shape of a Chloe size crater.
Andrew couldn't believe it, she saved him!
He stood up quickly and helped her up off the ground. Chloe didn't seem affected, she seemed more alive.
Her green eyes moved wildly, looking upon the beast and she held up her knife, the blade lengthening into a sword and Chloe charged towards the woods away from the infirmary.
Andrew heard the desperate cries for help from the people inside and he ran towards the building. To his surprise Nico seemed to be waiting for him.
"Where is she?" He asked.
"The giant, goat monster thing is chasing her into the woods. I don't know where she went."
"And you didn't bother to follow her?!" Nico yelled.
Andrew glared at him as Nico drew his own weapon and pointed to the forest.
"Well Henderson, if you want to play wonder boy you better come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"To clean up the mess you created!" Nico shouted and he stormed from the infirmary, leaving a cold chill behind. Andrew cursed to himself and he followed, hoping Chloe hadn't gotten herself into too much trouble.
