Chapter 10
RICHARD
Running downstairs not knowing what to do was pretty terrifying. I mean, a guy is running towards a blood curling scream and he is pretty sure that, that was his sister's. Guess who it is. Was it hard? I honestly wish I thought it was hard, and then I wouldn't have to go through it.
Once I reached the floor, I grabbed the first tool I saw hanging on the nearest wall. It was a hammer, not a great weapon but better than a wrench or a screw driver. I ran towards the tool shed door and whacked it with my hammer to open it. You're probably thinking "he could have just opened it!" but when somebody panics they kinda sorta lose their common sense, or any sense for that matter.
The girl in the room was not unconscious any more was up and busy with different tools and looking into some sort of mirror while doing it.
"Hey, where is my sister?" I asked panicking
"Oh great, just what I needed!" She came over and took my hammer and attached it too some other pieces, pressed a button and it started spinning. The bottom was the handle of a screw driver with a latch attached and at the top was some sort of hinge attached to a spinning thingy and the spinning thingy was spinning my hammer which had a hole on the top.
"Where is she!?" I asked again
"We are about to go get her. Go get your Greek fire and a bow and arrow. I'll deal with the first shots"
"Greek fire?!"
"The one sticking out of your pocket!" She then sprinted out of the room to join the thumping of the lions waiting outside the door. I quickly found a bow on one of the many tables back in the other room and ran towards the door. I saw the girl that I had just met bravely push the button on the hammer and out came really spiky nails, that hit the lion and he kinda exploded into dust on the floor.
"Nice job with the fire" The savoir said, looking at the dust
"What?" I could have said but I was more focused on the girl on the floor
"LEA!" There was blood on her head and left arm, and tear marks in her clothing. I ran over to her and moved the hair out of her face, she was still breathing, I check the pulse on her neck and found it normal
"She'll be okay. As long as we get her the right cures" I found myself saying
"We don't need any normal cures but I know where to find them" the girl behind me said
"My name is Orchid. And we are almost there to Camp Half-Blood" She said one hand on her hip and blood on her forehead and one cute smile on her face.
"We need to get to where my brother is Lea needs to rest. And so do you. " I said completely ignoring the nonsense she was saying. The smile completely vanished off her face
"I don't need anyone to tell me I need re—" She fell to the ground and joined my sister. I started my way to the glass room, with the girls, me and my luck.
