Chapter Seven
Monsters were everywhere. At least, that's what it felt like to Avalon. Every few miles, another army of monsters was sent to destroy them. They made it through the day but they were too scared to go any further.
"Why do the monsters want us dead?" Rachel complained.
"They're monsters. What do you expect?" Piper replied.
But the scariest monster was about 10 miles from their destination.
"We're almost there!" Percy shouts. Then, it appeared. It was hideous. It was a hydra. It was the first week and their time was running out. So far, 6 towns were destroyed because of the monsters.
"What do you want, monster?" Avalon shouted at it. Avalon had lost her patience with the stupid monsters already.
The hydra snorts as if it couldn't believe its ears.
"I've had it with you monsters already." She grumbled and aimed. She hit its 'Achilles' heel' and it burst into dust. We continued driving and realized a major mistake.
"Where are we?" Avalon asked. And a booming laugh filled the air.
"In the wrong spot. One of my minions, a Cyclops switched the map. Surely you remember the Miles city, right?" Of course she did.
"What's it to you? Why do you want my dad?" The horrible laugh boomed again.
"My dear, my plan is to eliminate all the demigods. You are one of the demigods the new prophecy mentions. And I'm going to kill you." The voice continued calmly.
"Prophecy?" Avalon asked. Annabeth paled.
"Why didn't Chiron tell me about it?" She muttered, mostly to herself. And when the voice spoke again, it sounded surprised.
"You don't know about the prophecy." It said.
"No we don't, but we will soon." Percy growled. Piper backed up but ran into something. The turned and saw a mad hydra. They screamed and got out of the car. The hydra ate the car and went after them.
"Enjoy your last few minutes!" The voice laughed. And an army full of monsters attack.
They fight but they clearly are outnumbered. They try and soon, they are clearly defeated. But they keep fighting. Kaden hugs Avalon, as if protecting her, with one hand and with the other wields a sword.
"What are you doing?" She asks him. He looks at her.
"I have to protect you. And if we die, we die as a team." He says.
"We are a team." She reminds him. She shoots a monster with her bow and soon, everyone is in a circle. The numbers increase. It seems as if that every monster they destroy, another ten takes its place. The monsters fight back and soon, they're all exhausted. She has to tell Kaden how she feels.
"I love you Kaden." Avalon says, and the last thing she remembers is him saying, "I love you too, Avalon."
Avalon woke up, dizzy and confused. Was she dead? But then Kaden's eyes come into focus.
"Are you okay?" He asks, his eyes concerned.
"Yeah, what happened?"
"After you blacked out, some other demigods fought with us. Camp Jupiter kids. They allied with us a few years back and there's still a friendship between us." He explained. They got us back and you've been in here for a few days now." He explains.
"Did you mean what you said?"
"What do you mean?"
"You said you loved me. Is that true?" Avalon asked.
"Yes. Do you love me?"
"Avalon kissed his bruised cheek. "Yes." She whispered. And he held her hand until she fell asleep.
Author's note: What happens next? I honestly have no idea so please review and tell me what you think and what you want to happen next? Should Kaden and Avalon become a couple? Who's Kaden's parent (not Aphrodite because that would be awkward for Avalon.)? But then again, it means more drama. I love arguing with myself! Comment, PM me, and tell me your suggestions!
