Chapter 4:
Leo's POV:
It was tiring, but we kept going on in the woods. I know I had sang this song, but it wasn't cheering up our spirits. It started getting dark after some time. We decided to keep going until we found a spot to set up camp. Something rustled behind me. I tensed up. I thought: Was something following us? I started to jog a little. I had fallen back from the other guys. They turned around. It was kinda obvious they heard something too. "What was that?" Jason asked nervously. The rustling started again. This time Percy went over to check what it was. He spread the bushes and something lunged at him. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Percy yelled as something took him down. I fell over from fright. My face fell in dirt and grass. I jumped back up and looked at Jason. Jason's face went pale. Wait the color was back, was he grinning?
"What is it? Did it eat Percy? Why are you smiling?" I asked. "It's a huge monster." Jason said sarcastically. "Hmm..." I thought for a while. Jason fell over laughing. Then I heard other laughing. I turned around and saw Percy on the floor. I looked up and saw it was a moose. I thought: What was a moose doing out here? Was it a spy? "Uh guys don't you think maybe the moose is a spy for the cyclops." I said in a shaky voice. Jason and Percy just started laughing harder. "Thats... Too...funny! How... Is...It...A...Spy?" Percy said through laughs. I was suspicious. Percy got up and stopped laughing. Jason kept chuckling on the floor. "Ok...Lets keep going. Wooo! That was funny." Jason said as he stood up. As we walked the moose followed us. I turned around and saw the moose's eyes turn red. Smoke flared from its nostrils.
"G...Guys! The moose is like an actual spy!" I screamed to them. They turned around and screamed. We all ran. "I TOLD YOU!" I yelled as we ran. "Okay Leo but right now can we just focus on getting away from the thing?" Jason shouted back. I tripped over a log. I did a complete face plant in the dirt. "Owwww!" I said as rubbed my face. I sat on the floor with my hand on my face. "Leo get up cmon!" Yelled Jason. "Just go on without me!" I screamed to them dramatically. "Okay, I think we have to." Percy said. I looked at him like "Are you really serious?". They both ended up running back and Jason threw me over his shoulder. He ran as though he was carrying a chicken. His muscles didn't even strain. Well whatever, I'd rather be light than so heavy you had to leave me behind. The moose was on our tail. "JASON GO FASTER! MOVE THOSE LEGS! CMON DUDE YOU CAN DO IT!" I yelled at him. "LEO SHUT UP! LET ME CONCENTRATE!" He shouted at me. Despite what he said I kept talking. "YOU CAN DO IT! KEEP GOING! MOVE YOUR LEGS LIKE YOU NEVER HAVE!" I screamed. He looked angry. I gulped. But he started going faster. He ran over to Percy and scooped him in his arms. "What the-" Percy got cut off. I looked back and saw the moose looked like a ant. Wait, an ant. We were flying. " Jason you saved us." I said hugging him. " Yeah, yeah whatever now to the forges." He said looking victorious. "Wait but guys. We need the amulet." Percy said at once.
I had forgotten all about it. "I know where it is." Jason said. Percy and I looked at him confused. "What, I found it along time ago." He said unbothered. "Where?!" I asked him. "Well some time ago I got lost on a mission. I found this cave and used it for camp. Turns out that cave was full of rocks and boulders. It was that old cyclops cave. I dug around and saw a backpack. There was a person sleeping. It was one of the agents that had found the cave first. The amulet was next to him." Jason stated. "Hmmm interesting." I said rubbing my chin. "I buried in the cave so no one could ever find it. I found out that the amulet made your deepest desire come true. I thought it was safer without it." Jason said looking at Percy and me. "Where exactly is that cave?" Percy asked him. "Right there." He said. Suddenly I felt my insides go up. We were soaring headfirst to the floor. I thought we were going to die but we had a soft landing. There right next to where we landed was the cave.
