Hi, I'm continuing this story for avalongal316, with her permission of course.
Lucia took this as her chance to slip away. She was already half way to the beach when someone cried out, "She's running away!" Some campers, armed, chased after her. Lucia broke out into the run. If she could just make it to the water, she'd be fine.
They were quickly catching up with her. Using her last bit on energy, Lucia sprinted and dove into the water. Transforming into her mermaid self, Lucia gained back some energy. Swimming as fast as she could, she swam down and away a bit and hid in the coral. That's when she noticed that black haired boy was walking along the bottom of the ocean, looking around.
Now on with the story!
Lucia's pov
'What is he thinking!' were her thoughts, 'He'll drown if he doesn't surface!' But for some reason he didn't surface and he looked just fine. Then she saw something swimming towards him. Something that looked familiar, too familiar. As it neared the boy her eyes became wide and she gasped "That's-"
Percy's pov
After we realized the girl snuck out, Annabeth spotted her half way to the beach. "She's running away!" she yelled and the two of us, along with some of our fellow campers, chased her down.
We were gaining on her, she was surprisingly fast for a human, when she took one last sprint and dived into the water. Everyone gasped in shock. A few second passed and she still didn't come up for air. "Percy, go get her!" Barked Annabeth, "She could drown!"
"I'm going, I'm going." I ran and jumped in, letting myself sink to the bottom. I was looking around all over the place but couldn't find her anywhere. I was just about to give up until I spotted a Hippocampus swimming my way. "Hey Rainbow." It was the Hippocampus Tyson had named. "What are you doing here?" I politely asked.
'I came to give you a message from Lord Poseidon.'
"Well what is it?" Dad has a message for me? "I'm kind of looking for someone who may be drowning." I said a little impatiently.
'He wants you to get a hold of him in Atlantis as soon as possible.' He then turned around and started swimming away.
"That's it?" I shouted as he got some distance from me. I was so confused, why was dad asking me to I.M. him? Then I realized I was still under water and why I was down here. "Oh Hades!"
Lucia's pov
'What is hippo doing here?' She thought as she watched the scene unfold. She was about to swim out of her hiding spot when something started glowing behind her.
"Ah, Aqua Regina-sama!"
"Lucia my dear, I sense a great evil stirring in the ocean and on land. It is time to gather the other princesses once again, and defeat this new evil." She said faintly. "You will have to join forces with his kind to defeat the evil that dwells above the surface."
She began to fade "Wait, what new evil, who is he?" Lucia had so many questions, but it was a feeble attempt.
"You will find out soon enough." But before she faded completely she adds "Your answers lye with the boy that walks under water." And then she was gone.
Well, what do you think? I hope it meets yours, and avalongal316's expectations.
Questions, comments, suggestions? Please review! Not a fan of flames but I will take them as well.
