Hey everybody! Wow, good name ideas.
Melbel10 ~ Thanks for the idea, but this is a hellhound. I may call it Whirl….but do you want to call your dog (Or in my case cat) Whirlpool of doom? (Raise eyebrow) Whirl might work….
LemonStickInsect ~ Thanks, it makes my day when I get a good review
Ranger 51 ~ WOW! Those names are great, they are amazing! I LOVE the one you made up in your own language. I could make a pack of hellhounds….i wonder….(Happy smile)
NOTE: PLEASE READ!
I have an idea. Please submit one of your favorite pet names, (a pet name, nothing like dog of death! Who wants a dog named that?) The top five will be named in my hellhound pack. My favorite wil be Percy's hellhound. One name is the minimum, three is the max, and be creative like Ranger 51, don't get names like Fang, or redfang, get names like iel. (Thanks Ranger 51!) Love you all! I'l be posting the next chapter by tomorrow night so get your names ready!
P.S. I may even add you in the story, put a name hair/eye color and godly parent and I will add you in later…..when a fight happens….(Grin) hint: Percy shooting ice on a boat.
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I wanted to see what was wrong with Percy, but he ran away. I was running down the hill to find him, and I did. He was on the ground, panting obviously in pain. I ran down, I saw Grover trying to approach but Percy shouted at him to get away, Grover got close…and ice rose from the ground. As fast as Chiron's arrow, a dome of bluish ice came. It was the size of a car, and I could imagine it was a foot thick, a nice place to lie down in. I rushed over and banged on the ice, not a single dent formed.
"Chiron!"
I yelled, he came and froze, than the screams. They were bloodcurdling. Like watching someone be murdered. They came from Percy inside the tomb, it sounded like he was burning alive, and People ran and started banging on the ice trying to get inside.
"Percy! Can you hear me?"
Chiron said, banging on it, the screams continued. It felt like forever, Chiron vanished, I was crying as Percy's screams tore the air, than…they stopped. After exactly ten minutes they stopped. I than heard talking and Chiron and someone walking urgently this way. I turned, I should have been surprised but I wasn't. Lord Poseidon and Chiron got closer, his face a mask of anger and worry. A long thin crack spread out on the side I was, I watched in fascination as it slowly stopped growing.
"Chiron, how long has he been in there?"
Lord Poseidon asked getting closer." The slashes stopped, for a second.
"He has been in there for eleven minutes Lord Poseidon; he stopped screaming a minute ago."
A long slash crossed the one that had already came, it was now in the shape of an X. I waited as he slashed again, without delay the ice grew slashes, it started to look like a rugged snowflake. I waited and with a crunching noise a long crack broke from the one side to the other, it looked like veins cracking, and in a flash, the ice crumbled. Some flew into the ground, other hit the arms of others that protected there face. I blinked and gasped at Percy. His hair wasn't the coal black that was so shiny, it looked like an oil spill, it didn't match with his flour pale skin. It looked almost translucent, but held the look of darkness. He breathed mist, with a start I realized it was him breathing but his body temperature was so cold. His skin was flawless but held horror, like a vampire ready to attack. The worst part…was his eyes. They looked sharp like jays, but a dulled sea green, around the edge you could see an algae green color, it was bright but merciless, it looked like he had killed thousands and seen horrors that shouldn't exist. The only look that would match his eyes was with he was stabbing someone in the heart.
He was on one knee looking down, slowly he rose to his feet, his eyes flashed coldly as he waited for us to say something.
"What?"
He snapped, you could almost feel how cold his words were, or was it his body temperature? He sounded dark…I heard that voice before…. Some kids flinched at his word, some just backed away, I did neither. My heart filled with sadness, what happened to Sea weed brain. I took a step forward calling his name, his eyes stealthily slid over to mine.
"I told you, you can't stop the change, only I know the cure and it's imposable to get."
His voice was so filled with hate, I could imagine he was Kronos, I flinched at the thought.
"How…"
Connor Stoll murmured, he probably didn't even know that he said it out loud.
"How what? I turned into a coldblooded freak?"
He hissed, the green around his eyes darkened slightly.
"Um…yes?"
He probably didn't even realized he spoke aloud again. Percy growled and in a second, ice slithered up his legs, up to his knees. In a flash, Lord Poseidon raised his hand and the ice melted, it than boiled into the air. Percy turned coldly.
"How?"
Poseidon said in shock, he didn't know… Percy's eyes narrowed, he looked at Grover, he jumped.
"Grover, tell me, who do I smell like?"
Grover's eyes were silted, terrified.
"Well…you smell like an oil s-"
He started nervous.
"I said who, not what."
He said all smart. Grover tilted his head, and froze.
"Y-you smell like the black ice….you smell like Oceanus."
He said, others gasped, his eyes slid to his father.
"That answers your question?"
Poseidon shook his head; I could tell Percy was annoyed, first because ice was growing around his feet, also because his eyes were cold.
"Then what? I am a freak because of that titan, a reject."
He hissed. Poseidon flinched, he took a step closer and Percy snarled. Poseidon froze and Clarisse stepped forward rolling her eyes.
"Great, so fish face likes ice, how does that hurt us?"
Shut up Clarisse! I screamed in my head, I glared at her but she didn't get the message.
He twisted un-demigodly possible.
"You know Clarisse you are really getting on my nerves."
He said acidly. A hole appeared in the ground under her. Water exploded out like a geyser or a broken fire hydrant, it froze in place pinning Clarisse in the air, her siblings rushed forward, Her threw ice and water, occasionally breaking a bone with one punch, a girl crumpled with a kick to her legs, his eyes were more green than before.
"Percy! Stop!"
Chiron shouted, his hand twitched towards his bow. Percy spun and his eyes narrowed. Then he twitched. He shook his head and the neon green vanished from his eyes, he looked around horrified and ran. I shouted at him to come but he ran faster than possible.
"Blackjack!"
I screamed, the Pegasus appeared and dove down; I climbed on and started looking, it was impossible to see him in the air. After hours of scouting I turned back, I walked in sniffling.
Poseidon was still here, he was in the corner, the leaders from every cabin except Ares was here. I sat by the table.
"Any luck finding him?"
The Apollo leader asked me, I shook my head and sniffled. Thaila came over and rubbed my back, Poseidon looked at me.
"Annabeth, why is Percy so changed?"
He looked at me and I nodded.
"when he was in the ice…Oceanus put a curse in the ice Percy was in for a year."
I sniffled, his eyes met mine.
"What did he use to curse with?"
He said alert, Chiron looked at me worriedly even Mr. D was staring at me.
"He used."
I whispered muffling a tear.
"Annabeth, this is important, what did he use?"
Chiron asked. I looked at him sending down a tear.
"He put his powers in the ice, that's why Percy can control ice, but he also put his blood in it, that's why he's changed."
I said looking down, Poseidon's face shifted to a mask of horror. I backed away.
"Oceanus….cursed Percy….with his blood?"
He said, I nodded, he punched the wall, a slight indent formed and he rushed out of the room as he shone faintly blue. I walked out and went to his cabin, the Minotaur horn was still hanging on the wall. I walked to the salt fountain; I grabbed a drachma from a tiny sack on the side. Percy told me he kept some there for IMing. I tossed my coin in to the mist.
"Show me Percy Jackson, somewhere near Manhattan."
The mist started to swirl than turned grey.
"Sorry, IMing does not include Titans. Refund will be made."
It called. A coin popped out and I caught it. Iris messaging wouldn't work, only one hope yet. I ran out and found Grover.
"Can you sense Percy?"
Grover looked at me slightly afraid, his voice shook.
"n-No, we b-broke the l-link a while a-ag-go."
I groaned, Percy really was on his own.
