She hissed, which might have been a laugh. ‘Oh, you'll sssssee. You'll get along famousssly. He’ssss your brother, after all.’

The giant pushed past us and opened the doors. He picked up Annabeth by her shirt and said, ‘You stay here.’
‘Hey!’ she protested, but the guy was twice her size and he’d already confiscated her knife and my sword.
Kelli laughed. She still had her claws at Rachel’s neck. ‘Go on, Percy. Entertain us. We’ll wait here with your friends to make sure you behave.’
| looked at Rachel. ‘I’m sorry. I’ll get you out of this…

‘Just my sword,’ | said.
Laughter erupted from the monsters, but immediately Riptide appeared in my hands, and some of the voices in the crowd turned nervous. The bronze blade glowed with a faint light.
