I Push Someone Over The Edge
The next morning I got woken up by Annabeth crying. I sat up and went to sit next to her. Her face was in her hands and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?" I asked her softly. She just kept crying, and then she looked at me which made her cry more. I brushed the hair out of her face.
"Yesterday, -- at the pool--one of those boys--." She stopped there obviously not able to continue. I held her head up and hugged her. "He kissed me!" she sobbed. My face grew red with anger. She knew this was coming because she said, "Don't be mad at me." I was speechless. I can't believe she thought that I would be mad at her.
"Of course I won't be mad at you. I just want to know, which one it was?"
"It was the one hiding in the corner," she said as she gasped for air. I should've known. I jumped off of the bed and launched out the door. I sprinted up the stairs and across the deck. I saw him acting all high and mighty by his friends who now had new casts on their hands. Once the others saw me they scattered but the one stood his ground. As I walked toward him he nodded his head. I started sprinting and drilled him in the side of the face with a ferocious hook. Blood launched from his mouth with every hit as I continued to punch him. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Annabeth and Grover come up the stairs. Annabeth gasped as I did something unexpected. I punched the kid square in the nose and he flipped over board, a two story drop onto flat water. He was definitely dead. Luckily, later I found out that he was an orphan who stowed away on the cruise ship and that nobody would notice he was gone. Annabeth ran over and gave me a hug. She shook as she cried.
"Hey," I said making her look up. "Right now I need to eat and cool off. You can come if you want. And tomorrow, we'll go dancing again."
For the rest of the night my mind was off and I heard Grover say something about, "The lights are on but nobody's home." And when I fell asleep I had a dream of a boy sinking down into the sea with teeth knocked out and blood coming from his mouth. Then suddenly a frenzy of sharks came and fed on the boy. I knew this was my father's way of treating the body of the boy that had disrespected me. I woke up to Grover and Annabeth screaming for me. I sat up and looked around. Then they burst through the door and Annabeth came over, grabbed my hand, and pulled me outside. It was pouring rain and another cruise ship was coming up to our side. The Princess Andromeda. The first person I saw was Luke; he was standing on the top of the boat and jumped onto the deck when his boat was parallel to ours.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Percy Jackson. What a lovely surprise."
"Yeah sure, whatever you say."
"And the lovely, Annabeth Chase." The way he said her name reminded me of those teenagers. Without thinking I made a wave come up and splash him in the face. "Oh I see what is going on… You're dating fish-brain over here." I leaped over onto the Princess Andromeda and punched him in the face. He hit the wall behind him and slid to the ground. I punched him again and it slid him to his hands and
knees. I kicked him in the stomach and ribs three times and went to kick again when an arrow pierced the deck next to me. I looked up and saw another half-blood above us. It was obviously a distraction because I felt Luke's foot dig into my chest. I flipped over the railing like the kid I punched earlier and landed in the water with a huge splash. He turned his back and signaled to the archer to go back inside. Then a jet of water sprayed him in the back of the head. He turned around and saw me standing on a fountain of water.
"You are the biggest freakin' idiot I know! I'm the God of the Sea's son and you just gave me the biggest advantage by putting me in my own turf." Just then I conjured up a wave so big it pushed the Princess Andromeda back to where it came from. My knees collapsed but the fountain still remained. It could have been Poseidon keeping it up so I wouldn't fall. It carried me over to our cruise ship and I crawled over the edge onto the deck. Annabeth and Grover helped me up and got me into my bed. I went to sleep with the smell of sweet lavender and French vanilla lying down next to me.
