Athena and Poseidon Unite
Chapter 7 in the story Confused
"Zeus!" I screamed "Oh gods, HELP ME!" There, right in front of me, was a monster so hideous it hurt to look at him. The worst part was that he looked mad and even hungry.
My life is over. Percy will die, the camp will die, I will die… GODS WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE A SAD STORY! The thought gave me strength. I looked over my shoulder and told Blackjack to get help. He took off with a snort.
Now, for the ugly. I took Erotas and my Yankees cap and uttered a soft prayer to Athena. Then everything happened slowly. I saw him charging towards me. I raised arm, ready to counter. Then, pain. A pain, starting at my wrist and slowly enhancing up to my elbow. I let out one, ear-splitting screech.
Through my pain, I saw water. In fact, the whole stream-bed rose up. It separated- half were deadly icicles the length of my leg, and the other half was a melted, boiling water. I watched, dazed as my mother appeared with two knives and a look on her face that would have killed a lesser monster. I cried out with relief and struggled to rise. A strong hand lifted me up. Poseidon took me over to a huge oak tree and threw me on top.
"Stay there." He warned me "Your mom and I will handle the rest."Poseidon whirled back into battle. The stream nearby was going mad. Half were boiling hotter than lava and the other half were frozen spikes. The daggers started hurling themselves at the monster. Several hit their mark, causing him to roar out in pain. Madder than ever, he charged straight at me. Out of thin air, Athena appeared and swiped at the monster. Her blades connected. He froze, and then disappeared into a gold dust.
Out of the dust, a slim figure appeared. After the dust cleared I could see it was a girl. And she was beautiful. Her long hair tumbled down her shoulders and her eyes shone with crystal tears. "Annabeth," she said "I bring news from Percy."
Immediately, Poseidon stepped forward. "Percy? He is my son. Do you know where he is?"
The girl looked at him. Then all the tears in her eyes burst forward and she knelt down, sobbing. "P-P-Percy might b-be dead by now! All because of m-me! All my f-fault! M-m-mine!"
Athena knelt beside the girl and she whispered something that apparently made the girl feel better. She sat up, wiped her eyes and gulped down a sob. "Forgive me, that was unnecessary. My name is Lyla. I know Percy because I work for Luke Castleton. (A/n spelling??) He is in Greece itself. I can take you there but first I need to speak to Poseidon and Athena." She beckoned towards the god and goddess and then whispered something. They froze, and then looked at her with mixed expressions. Lyla nodded towards me, and then slipped a piece of paper into Poseidon's hands.
Athena and Poseidon exchanged glances.
"Mom, what's wrong? Why do you look like that?" I asked, scared.
Athena sighed. "Annabeth, Lyla came in possession of a note. A note that was addressed to you."
"It was from my son, Percy."Poseidon put in "Annabeth, it's not good." He handed me the note. I took a deep breath and then unfolded the paper. For 5 long minutes I read and reread the note.
"I'm so sorry, Annabeth." My mom tried to comfort me "I truly am sorry."
I squeezed my eyes shut. When I opened a single tear fell. There was a sudden flash golden light and then soft music playing a faint lullaby. As darkness closed around me, the last thing I thought was how hungry I was. Then warmth. Then nothing.
I will NOT update unless at least 5 peeps give me a summary. I AM SERIOUS! Thanks a lot, anyway, and happy New Year!
