Chapter 1 - To find a friend
Percy's view
I had just left the theater where my dear friend and crush had died. I was determined to bring her back no matter what. I was searching for Nico Di Angelo, the son of Hades. If anyone could help he could. I had no idea where he was but I figured he would find me. I looked for a place that seemed to be darker than usual since darkness followed him. I saw something move behind a old building. I kept walking, looking at the ground in front of me and trying not to cry. Someone jumped in front of me and I knew it was Nico. " I'm sorry Percy. I will help you bring her back." he said with sorrow in his voice. " Thank you. " I mumbled still looking down at the ground.
We had for few more minutes when I heard a roar come from behind me. I turned around and was looking at a sphinx. Nico drew his knife. " No, I will handle this." I said cruelly. " Percy you can't ! " Nico yelled at me.
I drew Riptide and walked towards the Sphinx. " You will pay for this. " I yelled at it. " Please you think you can defeat me all be yourself! I will rip you to shreds!" it roared. I sidestepped and stabbed Riptide into the side of it's neck. It dissolved into yellow dust with a surpriseed look on it's face. I turned and looked at Nico who was staring at me. He face slowly broke into a smile. " How did you do that? " he asked. " How do you think? " I said giving him a glare.
" We need to find transportian. " I said. We walked for a couple of miles before we found some train tracks and a freight train with California Oranges written on the side in big letters. " Well, I guess that's our train. " Nico said. " Come let's go. " I said. We jumped into the car and shut the door. It was already late at night so Nico sacked out as soon as he laid down. I stayed up for what seemed hours sobbing and thinking about Annabeth. I finally cried myself to sleep as soon as I did I had a nightmare.
Well what do you think? I know it's on the short side but I like writing short chapters. Pleaze Review!!
The next chapter will be about his nightmare.
