Authors Note: This is my first FanFiction, so please go easy on me.
In this new scene, Percy gets captured when he is spying on the General, Luke and the other bad guys at the National Air and Space Museum.
Percy's POV:
I was listening to what my enemies were saying. I had Annabeth's cap of invisibility on, so they couldn't see me, which was very convenient. If they saw me, I'd be dead.
From what I was hearing, the General was planning to use dragon teeth to grow something out of dirt. The General planted the dragon teeth into the dirt. A moment later, he scooped up a watering can and sprinkled the soil with red liquid. I don't think I want to know what the red liquid was. Then a skeletal hand shot out from the soil.
The General looked up at the balcony. "Quickly, do you have the scent?"
"Yesssss, lord," one of the snake ladies said. She took out a sash of silvery fabric, like the kind the Hunters wore.
"Excellent," the General said. "Once my warriors catch its scent, they will pursue its owner relentlessly. Nothing can stop them, no weapons known to half-blood or Hunter. They will tear the Hunters and their allies to shreds. Toss it here!"
As he said that, skeletons erupted from the ground. There were twelve of them, one for each tooth the General planted. They were nothing like Halloween skeletons, or the kind you might see in cheesy movies. These were growing flesh as I watched, turning into men, but men with dull gray skin, yellow eyes, and modern clothes – gray muscle shirts, camouflage pants, and combat boots. If you didn't look too closely, you could almost believe they were human, but their flesh was transparent and their bones shimmered underneath, like X-Ray images.
"Oh my gods." I whispered, a little bit too loud.
"What was that?" Luke asked. One of the skeletons looked in my direction, glared at me, then made a strange clicking noise and charged straight at me. It rammed right into me, knocking me off my feet, and also knocking the hat off my head.
Oh, great. Just great, I'm going to get killed. I thought.
"Percy Jackson!" Luke yelled. He brought out his sword, Backbiter, a sword that is made of tempered steel on one side, used for killing mortals, and the other side is made of celestial bronze, used for killing monsters and immortals, such as demigods.
He brought the sword out and walked straight towards me. He brought his sword up to stab me in the chest, but the General stopped him.
"Stop," the General ordered. "He may be of use to us. We'll take him prisoner and torture him until he tells us what he knows."
Luke sighed, and put his sword away. He picked up the invisibility cap. The General ordered a couple of his minions to grab me and take me away. They grabbed hold of my shoulders, and started to take me. Before I was taken out the door, Luke reached in to my pocket and grabbed my sword, Riptide, that is in the shape of a pen but when you uncap it, it turns into a full-length sword made of celestial bronze.
"Have fun, Percy." He said in a mocking voice.
I didn't respond. I just glared at him until he was out of sight.
So, what did you guys think? Please review and tell me.
