Chapter 6: Manticores and Hell hounds
Note to self, Hell hounds and manticores don't mix. Mrs. O'Leary slowly walked toward the manticore, then they both broke out in a total cat fight. It would've been hilarious if it wasn't terrifying, still I videoed it on my smart phone to put on Demigodtube. "Hell hound and manticore have cat fight in thunderstorm." I would title it. OK, maybe it wasn't THAT funny, but, c'mon! I need some joy after my last few days. Then it dawned on me. Mrs. O'Leary could shadow travel me home. YES that was my ticket! Unfortunatly all of Camp Half Blood, led by Luke Shadow traveled in, on Hell hounds supplied by Nico. THAT TRAITOR! I thought.
"Found you, Kronos!" Luke shouted.
"Dude, for the last time, I'm not Kronos." I said.
"Eat those words!" Luke yelled, waving Riptide around. I uncapped MY Riptide and we had a little duel. He slashed and hacked, I blocked and dodged.
"why do you resist defeat? It is coming no matter what!" Luke yelled. Mrs. O'Leary was still tangling with the manticore so I needed another method of escape. I jumped into the mantiore's police car and drove off.
"Hey!" The manticore shouted, transforming back to a cop. Luke snickered.
"Stealing from the authorities, are you SURE Kronos isn't in there somewhere?" And then I knew that Luke knew I was from an alternate universe from day 1 and he was using the campers to get rid of me, calling me 'Kronos' to get them motivated. That's cold, just cold. I thought. Luke's Hell hound caught up with me and I jumped out of the car. Then I started running. Out of nowhere, Mrs. O'Leary came up and tackled Luke's Hell hound. I ran off as Luke raised his sword over Mrs. O'Leary's head.
"NO!" I screamed. I couldn't lose Mrs. O'Leary, not now. Mrs. O'Leary shadow traveled to me but apperently there were so many Hell hounds in the area that a Portal was opened, TO MY WORLD!
"Percy!" Annabeth cried and the alternate campers gasped.
"It's Kronos's magic!" Luke called to keep the demigods' trust.
"We must invade this huge camp of Kronos's!" Luke shouted. They charged towards the portal.
"Annabeth!" I called.
"Prepare the campers for war! I'm in an alternate universe where Luke lived and hes going to invade us!" I shouted.
"What, oh!" Annabeth yelled back. I leaped through the portal! I was back. Then I felt a sharp pain. I turned to see Luke had stabbed Riptide into me, right where my vulnerable spot was. I slumped down on the floor.
"How?" I asked Luke.
"If we are like the same, just in different universes, then our curses of Achilles should be in the same spot." Luke laughed. The alternate campers invaded. Annabeth screamed. Then, I died.
This is not the end of this book that would be a lame ending, just a cliffhanger, and I will intentionally wait to post the finale! Yes I am SO Evil! :)
