Hey people I'm here with a new chapter for you. Now we must celebrate because this is chapter 10 which means we've reached double didgets in this story, something I never expected to complete. So now we dance. I'm so happy right now so I think you should all celebrate with me. A tenth chapter people a tenth chapter. It may have taken forever to get here but this is were I'm at, and I never would have gotten here without your support, so thank you so so so much. For both your support and your OC's (if you gave me one). You all rock and I hope you enjoy the chapter. Its not as long as I would have liked it to be but oh well.
And last but not least the disclaimer: I own nothing only my OC, but none of the other characters who belong to the great Rick Riordan and a bunch of other amazing authors and supportive readers that I'm to lazy to type up.
Chapter 10: Not Our Day
Samantha Romano's POV (AlphaPanther's OC)
Not possible, not possible. This isn't right, after the second Titan war they were suppose to melt, this sword, its suppose to be scrap metal, just a puddle of goo on the floor. But no here it is, still in one pice, glowing as if freshly polished. I shook my head, not possible.
The five of us stared wide eyed at the gleaming bronze and metal sword. Ernest gulped, and pointed at it with a shaky finger,"that can't really...really be Backbiter...Can it?"
Lucy nodded a pice of golden hair falling into her eyes,"yah thats Backbiter all right," she took a small step forward only to be stopped by Cassidy, who put a hand on her shoulder, and shook her head.
"Don't," I wasn't sure what she meant by that, but I didn't think it was good.
Lucy shook her hand off,"Why not?" She questioned,"its my dads isn't it?" She looked at each of us and in the dim lighting I made out her determine expression, and realization of what she wanted to do hit me with the force of a brick wall.
"Lucy think this through," she glared at me, and took another step closer, and another, and another. Soon she was standing no less than two inches in front of it. She reached her hand forward. Her hand was on the hilt when she yelped and reeled back, as if burned.
Ernest grabbed her arm and pulled her back, looking at her palm we saw red welts already forming. Then the screeching started, I immediately put my hands over my ears, but it didn't block the sound. Like nails on a chalkboard, but ten times louder. It was coming from the sword, there was no mistake in that. It turned into a voice, it was female, and it yelled three words over and over.
"Your not worthy, not worthyyyyyyyyy," it didn't stop I felt something wet trickle through my fingers that still clucked tightly to my ears, blood.
A face appeared in the blade a beautiful women with sleek and shinny auburn hair and gorgeous blue eyes, like the deep sea," your not worthy, only one may wield this blade, one with a heart that has not yet turned, a will to live and fight and feel, only one may wield this blade one that knows they can love again. The last to wield me was none of these things and the one that forged me was the worst of them all, but do not touch my hilt again for what is next is sure to END!" I fell to my knees as she spoke the last word and disappeared for the blade completely with one final screech.
I took a deep breath and stood shakily, my ears were still bleeding, the others still on the ground. I turned to Lucy,"don't touch it again." She nodded numbly as Ernest helped her to her feet.
"We should go," Astrea said, looking at the bow wearily. We nodded and slowly made our way to the door, our eyes not leaving the sword. When we reached the door we turned and ran pulling our hoods up as we went.
We didn't stop until we were half way across camp, behind the Pegasus stables,"what was that!?" Cassidy yelled.
I shook my head "I don't know,but we should tell the commanders." Before they could respond there was a yell from behind us.
"Hey! Hey!" turning towards the forest we saw Suicide coming out of the trees,"we have a problem! We have a big problem!" Damian yelled as he ran, and the others ran up to us.
"Yah well get in line," Astrea yelled back.
They ignored her, and ran up to us,"problem...traitors...forest...talk...two headed drakaina." He gasped, leaning on the side of the stables with the others, while they caught their breath.
I was stunned, but not by what he said. I was stunned by the fact that they were out of breath, they ran all the time. Ever day in fact. Once the six of them ran around Base Chaos for an hour and a half and barley got winded. What could cause them to actually be out of breath?
I was so shocked that the only thing that I was able to say was,"why is there a two headed drakaina here?" Of course that didn't make any sense everybody knew two headed drakaina's were extinct.
He shook his head,"no...traitors...spies...bad people...can't breath." He and the rest of his team fell to the ground. We ran forward and helped them to their feet.
"Traitors...forest...light headed,"Jacey said as I helped her to her feet.
"Stop talking,"I ordered they only nodded, turning toward the rest of my team," we better get them back to the cabin." They nodded and we set off, but when we were half way there, there was another yell. This time not directed at us.
"YOU INSULT MY FRIEND AGAIN AND I'LL KILL YOU!" I recognized the voice immediately. Liam Carter, son of Hermes, and one of the Jumpers. I didn't get a chance to say anything before the members of Suicide were up and running towards the yell. I threw my hands in the air, in a Why do I even bother? Kind if way, and we ran after them.
By the time we got there Suicide was already fighting there way through the crowd trying to get to the center. We joined them without a second thought, but when I saw what was at the center I wished I had stayed on the outside. The Jumpers were fighting the campers, yelling threats, and disrespecting Chaos's request for us to stay out of trouble. The others went in to try and help Suicide gain control of things, but it wasn't going well. I grabbed Ernest's wrist.
"Get the commanders!" I yelled over the screams of our fellow Knights and the yells from the campers egging their friends on. He nodded and ran back through crowd. I jumped in, running to Liam who had a camper in a headlock, one move of his arm and the boy was dead. They better get here soon.
Bob to mission control Bob to mission control. Hello mission control Bob is just wanted to say he has a pet pumpkin named Harald, he can sing opera. Bob now hates opera because Harald won't shut up. So vote for Bob to help him get Harald to shut up, and so Max won't rule the world.
Ace Ashford's POV (NeverForgiveOrForget161616's OC)
Needless to say when Ernest told us the Jumpers were fighting with the campers at the volleyball court we no longer held any interest in me putting an arrow threw Alex's head. We took off towards the volleyball court as fast as we could only to run into The Pack, literally. They were heading for the cabin and we just ran into them. Needless to say they weren't too happy.
Now, don't me wrong here The Pack is part of our family, but there not the most welcoming group. They prefer to spend most of there time hiding out in caves and stuff with each other instead of in the game room with the rest of us, but none of us held that against them, they just weren't those kind of people.
"Watch it,"Alice growled, usually she wasn't like that, something must have happened.
"Sorry,"Alex said, looking slightly annoyed,"we were just trying to get to the volleyball court before the Jumpers kill the campers."
"WHAT!?" They all yelled at once, except Zain who just looked slightly startled, and their expression would have been funny if not for the potential threat of our friends becoming murderers.
"Hades underpants!" Natsu yelled,"what are we going to do, first Zeus's fist and now this, this just isn't our day!"
That got our attention,"What about Zeus's fist? What happened? What did you see!?" Ivory demanded, Natsu's mouth formed an O like he wasn't suppose to say that, and when Miette punched him on the shoulder my suspicions were confirmed.
"Way to go," she grumbled,"now you have to tell them."
Natsu smiled sheepishly, and cleared his throat," well you know how Zeus's fist collapsed on Kampe," it wasn't a question, but we nodded anyways,"well she alive under there and fighting to get out."
It was our turn to scream,"WHAT!?"
Taking a deep breath I looked at each of them, noticing that they were covered in some kind of dust,"what else?"
He bit his lip,"the rocks started glowing when we got to close and the were hurled at us by some kind of invisible giant." I nodded.
"One of you has to go tell the commanders the others should come with us." Natsu took off for the cabin without a second thought and the rest of us made a wild dash for the volleyball court.
Bob is here again and he wants to say he threw Harald out the window. No more opera for Bob. Now we dance in celebration of chapter 10. Conga line, vote Bob. Ow Steve get your hooves off my shoulders.
Percy's POV
The door was thrown open before we could say a word to each other, and Ernest ran into the room with Natsu just a step behind. They both started yelling at the same time. Two different things but they both ended with.
"But we don't have time for that you need to get to the volleyball court right now!" Then they looked at each other having said the last line together.
"Calm down,"Jason said,"why do we have to go to the volleyball court?"
"The Jumpers are fighting with the campers!" They both yelled in unison once again.
The six of us jumped to our feet,"what!?" We ran out the door pulling our hoods up as we went, the other two right behind us.
"This may not be the best time to say this," Ernest yelled,"but everyone from Suicide was saying something about traitors, and they have Backbiter in the weapons shed."
"And Kampa's alive under Zeus's fist," Natsu cut in."
"WHAT!?" Stay calm, I told myself, stay focused.
The volleyball court was coming into view and I could hear the yells from both campers and Knights," we'll talk about that latter," I said, even though I desperately wanted to talk about it now,"Ernest go get Chiron," he nodded and took off towards the Big House,"Natsu get contact Chaos over the Looking Glass," he turned back towards the cabin.
This just isn't my day, I thought as I saw the fight.
Okay so tell me what you thought of chapter ten. Still freaking out about actually making it this far! But I know you all look forward to seeing this at the end of my chapters. Th votes. Okay so in the lead we have drumroll please...its Bob with 11 points and Max still just one point behind with 10.
So here's my chapter closing message. I hope to have my next chapter up next week, most likely during the weekend. And again thank you all for your support in writing my story, your all awesome, and I hope enjoyed this chapter. The next will be more exciting I promise. Well I think thats all for now, Till next time Girl signing off. :)
