Chaotica
I ducked under a sword that had just passed my neck. I was in a battle against zombies. That's right zombies. Usually zombies wouldn't be the first thing I would be fighting in a back alley but this was ridiculous. Zombies were controlled by Hades yet Olympus has never heard from him since ten years ago. Things that would have been in the underworld are now popping out of nowhere although nowhere should be the ground, or the shadows, or even out of a window. Now back to zombies. They use swords and they are smarter than you think. Although there was something special about these ones; other than having enormous strength that would pummel a gorilla to mash potatoes the zombies had skill. Yeah skill my mind couldn't wrap around the fact that zombies could bite you and slice you in half. The zombie charged with increasing speed. I knew if it got close enough and missed it would go for the vampire bite to the neck. It sent shivers down my spine that your regular stupid shuffling zombie could run at you with a sword and disgusting teeth. Swinging at me again from the left, I parried the strike and went for his head, which would have been recognisable if it didn't crash its face into a dumpster. Going for decapitation the zombie tried to move but failed miserably. His head few into the air and blood splattering the ground and spraying out of the neck. It's as disgusting as it sounds. I looked back outside. The sky was a dark stormy grey as if Zeus decided that grey was todays color. I saw lightning, less than a second thunder. I knew Zeus was grumpy. Infuriated would be an overstatement. If he was infuriated the city would have been destroyed and everything a pile of rubble. I took my bag and opened it to get my water bottle which had Percy labeled on it. Today had the chilled eerie feeling as if you're by yourself and you had the world's most stealthy stalker on your tail. Finishing my water bottle I threw it into the dumpster and headed back to Camp Half-Blood.
The time to go back to Camp Half-Blood didn't take more than thirty minutes but that really wasn't the problem. It didn't feel like thirty minutes. It was as if Kronos was back and ready to cut me into bits with his scythe. I was greeted by Annabeth who had told me that she was close to figuring out what was happening with the disappearance of and the fact the time felt really strange. "So Percy what happened?" She asked as we walked. She had that questioning look on her face that told me she was curious. I would have told her except a massive tank of fur crashed into me. I smiled as Mrs. O'Leary drenched my clothes. At least there was something cheerful in this gloomy weather. I had to use all my strength just to get her off. "WOOF!" Mrs. O'Leary barked.
"Yah I love you to now come on I need you to take me to the underworld," I replied as I got on her back.
"Percy where are you going to do?" Annabeth shouted.
"I'm going to try to find Hades!" I yelled back as Mrs. O'Leary began to run into the nearest shadow. I could still feel the rush of; well I guess you could call it wind I really don't know. Yet in a few seconds we were in the underworld. I remembered it as overly dark and really huge. I knew where Tartarus was and the place as usual echoed of tortured souls. Hades' castle was in front of me and still looked as gigantic as ever. The gates were broken down and the whole place seemed to have been attacked. I really don't know what I was really expecting as I walked into the dark hallway.
Reviews and constructive criticism I would appreciate but other than that I will try to update weekly and if I have enough time two chapters.
