Chapter 7

A Cyclopes eats my sister.

Carter.

Just the memory makes me woozy. I didn't see it happen, but what happened later makes me sick. One time I thought about it I was talking to Zia and I fainted. She said I fainted like a man though, but I still don't believe her.

[I'm getting there Sadie!]

Anyway, we all ran for where the Cyclopes was with our weapons. When we got close we hid behind a dumpster. Sunny peeked out to see what Sadie was doing. When she brought her head back she looked green.

"He ate her." She said simply.

Instead of normal puke she barfed fire. I must've had the funniest look on my face 'cause she started laughing [No Sadie, my face doesn't always look funny!].

"That's something you don't see every day." I said weirded out.

"Long story." She replied before Percy or Clarisse could ask.

She ran out in the open and the rest of us followed her.

"Well, well. If it isn't my bride!" he boomed looking at Clarisse.

"Dude, I'm not your bride! Now barf up or friend or we'll attack!" she threatened.

Then he swung a club at us and we dashed out of the way. Clarisse, Percy, and I with our swords started fighting him head on while Sunny tried shooting it with her bow. I tried using a spell to tie him up, but he was too strong.

"Guys!" shouted Sunny. I don't know how she managed, but she was on top of a tall building. "Fall back! I have an idea!"

So we ran for cover in weird places and she jumped down from the building and on top of Polyphemus. She stabbed him with two daggers she kept hidden in her pockets or somewhere and held on tight. Then she closed her eyes and the daggers glowed orange and started to smoke. Polyphemus screamed and tried to shake her off. Then she pulled the daggers off and jumped down. She took a deep breath and started glowing. She was literally on fire and blasted him.

"Let the girl go!" shouted a voice that was hers but wasn't hers, Ra. She called upon Ra.

"Never!" he shouted.

Sunny shout him with another blast then threw a dagger at his stomach and cut it open. Instead of all his guts pouring out the dagger did a great job and made sure only what he ate not too long ago came tumbling out, one of those things was Sadie.

Then Sunny blasted him again with all the fire she could and he turned to dust. I came out behind an umbrella-shut up-and came a little close to Sunny.

"Sunny?" I stammered.

She turned. Her eyes were glowing and she was still on fire. It was so terrifying I almost wet myself. Luckily I didn't since Clarisse and Percy had come out from their hiding places.

"You must hurry." Said Ra alone, "Set's plan will happen soon, and if he succeeds…the girl will die."

"What have you done with Sunny?!" Percy demanded holding his sword to Sunny's throat.

"She is still in here, but she is weak." Said Ra, "Keep in mind, she called on me. I will not ignore the daughter of Apollo. She will seem dead when I leave her, but she is not."

Just then Ra began to glow brighter. We looked away and covered our eyes. Once everything seemed normal we looked back, Ra was gone and Sunny was lying on the ground.

"Sunny?" I said a little worried when I saw she wasn't breathing.

"Remember, she's not dead." Said Clarisse, "Don't you have an unconscious sister lying in Cyclopes puke?"

[No Sadie, I was just distracted! I didn't forget you!]

I ran over to Sadie, but stood at a distance since it looked more like she was in a lake of puke. She moaned and slowly sat up. After looking at herself she looked like she might puke.

"And I thought getting eaten by a croc was bad!" she groaned, "I'll never get that imagine out of my head!"

She crawled out of the puke and onto the sidewalk and then stood up.

"Whoa!" said Percy kneeling next to Sunny and looking up at Sadie, "You look worse than when the croc barffed up Carter!"

"Great!" she moaned.

"We need to get back to the ship." Said Bast coming out of nowhere.

"Where were you?!" demanded Sadie and I.

"Someone left a perfectly good can of opened tuna on the sidewalk." She replied licking her lips, "Sadie, what happened to you?"

"Apparently it's a Kane tradition for someone to getting eaten and barffed up." She replied, "Let's just get back to the ship so I can clean up."

"Not a bad idea." Said Clarisse holding her nose making her voice sound funny, "Percy, you carry Sunny here. Sadie, you walk far behind me. Carter, go buy anything with a TARDIS on it."

"What's a TARDIS?" he asked confused.

She motioned me over. I walked over to her. "I have a goofy lil' bro who loves this show called Doctor Who and he'd kill me for not getting him something with the TARDIS."

She handed me a picture of a blue police box and some money. "Make sure it looks cool."

So, Percy picked up Sunny and the rest of them walked back to the ship while I went to get a present for Clarisse's brother.
